Laura's birthday is December 25th.

Just a week away.

Finally, Laura is ten years old too.

Same age double digits as Anna or Charlotte.

No, on the contrary, so are Emilia and her parents.

Until the age of ninety-nine, it's double-digit, so being the same as that means ten may be okay to call yourself a fine adult already.

"Mr. Laura. You're almost there."

The time just before the morning class started.

Charlotte, who was sitting in Laura's front seat, turned around and spoke to me.

"Yeah, it's almost winter break!

Since December 26th, it has been a long awaited winter break.

"... I'm looking forward to that too, but there will be a big event before then!

"Eh heh, it's a joke. It's my birthday. I'm finally ten years old!

"Mr. Laura. Do you want something for your birthday?

"It's an omelet."

Laura answers reflexively.

Anyway, omelettes are like philosophy in Laura's life.

As long as I have an omelet, I can be happy.

but Charlotte laughed bitterly.

"You'll always be eating omelettes. Other than that."

"Mmm... I didn't know you were going to raise such a difficult question... that's quite enough, Mr. Charlotte"

"I don't know what makes you look like a warrior, but if not, I'll choose."

"What, are you going to choose with Mr. Charlotte's taste?!? Wait a minute... I'm going to take this seriously now..."

"... it was like you were anxious about my taste."

Charlotte points her lips.

I'm sorry to upset anyone who says they'll give me a gift because of this, but leaving it to Charlotte is either a huge success or a huge failure, so it's very risky.

Twist your head properly and think about what you want.

"Oh, yeah. I want height!

"Laura shouldn't grow up."

"Why not!? You said you were going to be ten!

"No matter how old you are, Laura should remain what she is. In the first place, I can't give you height in my power."

"That's right. But in fact, you don't have anything in particular you want. 'Cause I'm just spending time with everyone, and every day is fun."

"Mr. Laura...... not only is the exterior adorable, but it's wonderful to the inside. Wow!

Charlotte shouted with her eyes shining, and not only that, she rode herself out and hugged herself.

Everyone in my class is watching, but I'm embarrassed.

Even if your age is double-digit, it may be difficult to grow up.

"Well, that's why. A special gift is fine just because it's my birthday. But if you're going to have a party or something, I'd be happy to join you!

"Then we'll celebrate! It's Laura's birthday! Let's find a venue first!

"You don't have to exaggerate like that..."

Charlotte's house is rich.

Once she had a serious and grand party, Laura had no idea how big it would be.

Nevertheless, no matter how rich you are, it's the parents' money.

Not all Charlotte can be free.

Laura decided to trust that even if it was more flashy than normal, it would be a party that would fall within the common sense range.

"Yes, sir. Let's start the class. Everybody, about seats."

My Emilia came to the classroom.

Charlotte turns to the blackboard and the students who were walking quickly return to their seats as well.

And rise. Courtesy. Seating.

"We're talking about a monster in the east of the continent today. I know some of you have heard of it, but besides dragons in the form of hacks over there, subspecies in the form of snakes enlarged - the hacks are about to hug, what's that yellow one?

Emilia tried to start the class, but she stared over Laura's head and solidified.

Everyone in the class turns around Laura too.

"This... is a duck toy!

"I can see that... but why is Haku holding a duck? It's good to bring Huck into the classroom, but you can't let him play because he's in class."

Emilia says the best thing about you.

Even as Laura, I want my duck back from the hack.

"There's a complicated situation with this... Huck won't let it go anyway! I'm so angry!

"Huh. Laura bought it to play in the bath, but Huck took it, or something?

"Name reasoning! It's the Pitali Award. Again, Dr. Emilia's insight is amazing."

Laura earnestly respected Emilia.

"That wasn't a very complicated situation either... if Haku wouldn't throw that duck, it could stay that way"

"Pi"

The class began with Huck's short ringing as a word of affirmation.

In fact, Haku didn't let the duck go. I really like it.

Do you think I'm one of them?

Even though the colors and shapes are different.

The psychology of the divine beast is complicated and strange, and it doesn't extend to people - and Laura was going to consider philosophy at the present age of ten.
