My Daughters Are Regressors

༺ School Tuition is More Expensive Than I Thought! (2) ༻

“I’ll hunt for Sloth first. He’s the most vicious of the bunch but easy to predict because of his laziness. He should be located in the mountains near Freesia.”

Salome said as she left the room.

I replied with a simple ‘Sure.’

But she didn’t seem to mind.

“He’s got a lot of men. That place is a safe haven for thieves and murderers who flee Freesia. It’s like another Kowloon.”

“How can this place be like that hellhole?”

I asked, a little worked up.

Salome turned towards me and narrowed her eyes.

“We are done for today. If you want to keep an eye on me, come to the underground market late at night tomorrow.”

“Don’t pretend to be all busy, Salome. I have to get my daughter to school, you know? Wait. Doesn’t that mean I’m the busier one?”

“……”

Salome frowned.

She looked distraught with something.

“Naru, that kid, is she really your daughter?”

“Yeah.”

“Then her mother is that Barbarian?”

“Barbarian?”

“Don’t play dumb with me. I can see through your lies; I already know her mother is that demon hunter.”

Cariote is Naru’s mother?

Well, that might look right to a stranger.

Salome must have a way to keep an eye on me.

Jump—

She leaped into the air without saying anything.

Her skill in moving between buildings, jumping through walls, and remaining undetected was one of the best I’ve seen.

“Even if everything else she says and does is fake, her skills are the real deal.”

Now I’m scared that Naru might be like that.

I better keep an eye on her.

If she gets close to Naru, then her Princess rank might be compromised.

And since she has something against me, there’s a very high chance she would do something against Naru.

“Better be on watch then.”

When I looked at the sky, the sun was already rising.

What was supposed to be a simple outing now turned into a troublesome thing. I even ended up staying up all night.

“In the end, I never got to hear anything about Jack The Ripper.”

But finding out about Thieves’ hideout near Freesia was already a huge win. If Salome herself said it’s like the Kowloon mountains, then this is big.

A hundred……No, maybe a thousand?

A thousand criminals in one place.

What a hellhole.

It must be a pretty bad place for Freesia to not mess with them.

“Maybe I can hear some stuff about Jack there.”

That’s not a bad plan.

Especially with Naru and Cecily.

I didn’t like the idea of a band of thieves hanging out near the city where my daughters were.

With these thoughts in mind, I found myself arriving at Brigitte’s lab.

As soon as I opened the window and jumped in, Brigitte, who was preparing breakfast, yelled.

“Hey! Why are you jumping through the window instead of using the door like a normal person? If Naru sees you doing this, she will want to jump through the window too!”

“Ooh, holy shh! Naru wants to go through the window too!”

I see.

Well, I guess I’ll have to stick with the door from now on.

Soon, Brigitte asked.

“So, where have you been? You don’t look like you’ve been in a fight if the lack of blood or wounds is any indicative. But this smell, perfume. A woman’s perfume……”

“What perfume?”

I was puzzled.

But then, Brigitte reached into my pocket and pulled something out.

It was a delicate silk handkerchief.

It was red with a lip print on it, but it was the first time I’ve seen this thing.

It also had the scent of perfume.

“What’s that?”

“Judas, since this was in your pocket, you should know it the best.”

Brigitte frowned.

She grabbed a sausage from my plate and put it in hers.

“Since you’re so full of energy to run around doing stupid things. You wouldn’t mind eating less, would you?”

“Wait, this is a misunderstanding. I’m sure I was pickpocketed! You know Tamar? She’s the one who did it, I met her on the way back!”

It wasn’t a pickpocket, it was more like pocketing.

Not many people had the skills to put something in my pockets without me noticing.

Brigitte then asked me.

“Tamar, the Back Alley Princess? The one who had locked you into a lion’s cage back then?”

“Yes! She also drugged you and locked you in your closet.”

“The thief who stole my clothes!”

“Yeah, that’s right, I met her.”

“I really hate that woman. Did you look for her to try to help find my clothes? I spent 3 million arks on that outfit. It was my favorite.”

To be honest, I had completely forgotten about Brigitte’s clothes.

But since she seemed somewhat touched, I just decided to nod along.

“That’s right. But she managed to run away before I could find the clothes. She most likely threw them away or sold them by now.”

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about that. But as a thanks for trying to help me, I’ll do you a favor.”

She would do something for me.

I was caught off guard.

So, I whispered in her ear.

“You’re finally letting me touch your breasts?”

“Not that! When did you even make that request?! That’s ridiculous. I have half a mind to blast you with a fireball right now!”

Brigitte was furious.

But she was still grateful for my help.

So she decided to help convince Cariote.

Honestly, I had been worrying about figuring out a way to convince Cariote. I was so stressed out that I felt like I was losing my hair.

“Brigitte, I may not trust other women, but I trust you. Thank you.”

I expressed my sincere gratitude.

Of course, Brigitte turned her head and said “Hmpf, I don’t trust you. Neither do I trust your compliments”.

That’s when Naru raised her hands and said.

“Dad once told Naru something! He said to never trust anyone, especially women! And that you should always suspect a woman’s tears! And that you should trust a puppy instead!”

Definitely something I would have said.

Frown—

Brigitte furrowed her brows.

Then she said, In a blaming tone.

“So you taught her something really nice this time.”

* * *

“The students in the back. Please bring your homework.”

Professor Salome said.

And soon the students in the back stood up and presented their homework.

“It was too hard.”

“What’s the answer to 135 plus 137?”

Three-digit addition.

The children whispered quietly about the homework Salome had given them the previous day.

Salome’s problems were very challenging.

“Naru, did you do your homework?”

Cecily asked Naru from her seat.

Compared to the other kids, Cecily was not very good at math, and Naru was even worse.

But Naru smiled proudly and pulled out her notebook.

“Naru finished all her homework!”

“Really?”

“Really! Look, Naru’s notebook is full! I worked hard on my homework after dinner last night with Molu!”

Swoosh—

The notebooks piled up.

Salome, sitting at her desk, began to grade the student’s homework.

Swoosh— Swoosh—

Circles were drawn all over the notebooks.

These were indeed the students of the Graham Academy, the elite of the elite.

However.

While grading one student’s notebook, Salome couldn’t help but frown.

“Naru Barjudas, you got everything wrong.”

“But I did the……homework……!”

“Even if you did the homework, If all the answers are wrong, then it’s meaningless. Naru, you might deserve a slap on the palm.

“Ugh……!”

The kids laughed at Naru’s pout.

Salome then closed the notebooks, rubbed her tired eyes from her lack of sleep, and said.

“I have to excuse myself for a bit. So, during this first period, do some self-studying.”

Stand—

With that, Salome quickly left her seat.

The moment she left the room, the children began to chatter.

“Naru, S-Should I help you with math?”

Elizabeth asked Naru.

Elizabeth was the best.

She was very smart.

“So, Naru, let’s say you bought 155 strawberries. You ate 30 for breakfast, 50 for lunch, and 52 for dinner, how many you would have left?”

“None! Naru loves strawberries so she would eat them all!”

“……”

Elizabeth now realized that Naru was no ordinary student.

How did she manage to pass the entrance exam? She wondered.

‘Of course, Naru is remarkable in other things aside from math, but……At this rate, her scores will go down, then she’s going to get expelled……’

Elizabeth began to worry that her best friend was going to be expelled.

But Naru wasn’t the only one in trouble.

“Cecily is a noble so she wouldn’t eat 132 strawberries in a day. Mother used to tell me that we have to exercise moderation.”

Cecily was also terrible at math.

So when Elizabeth felt embarrassed, there were those who laughed at them.

“Idiots. Look at them, Tywin, they are struggling with a simple 3-digit addition!”

“Yeah, Yeah!”

Those kids were Tywin’s friends.

Harley, a girl whose parents run a high-end pastry shop.

And Dolly, whose parents had a tailor shop.

Harley covered her mouth as she laughed with a ‘Hohoho’ sound.

“Maybe it’s because Elizabeth is a poor teacher. I bet that if Tywin taught her, Naru would become smarter. Or could it be that Naru is just a fool?”

Harley and Dolly always bullied Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was used to it, but she couldn’t stand having Naru being humiliated too.

“Naru is not a fool, you know?”

Then, Naru raised her hands and shouted.

“That’s right! Naru is smart! If I challenge Tywin I can win! Because I can make a problem so difficult that no one other than Naru can solve it!”

Jerk—

Tywin, who up to this point didn’t interact with the others, twitched.

Then she said.

“A challenge? You think you can create a problem I wouldn’t be able to solve?”

“Yes! In the past, Naru’s mom always used to praise Naru! She would always say ‘You’re a genius when it comes to creating problems’. Naru’s mom isn’t here anymore, but……”

Naru’s voice trailed off.

At this, Tywin sighed.

“……Well, whatever. I don’t think that’s true. There’s nothing I wouldn’t be able to solve, so let’s make a bet”

It was the start of a challenge.

If Tywin couldn’t solve the problem, then she would give her cheese pork cutlet from the cafeteria to Naru.

The stakes were so high that all the kids were amazed.

“Tywin, are you sure about this? The pork cutlet with cheese is the best thing ever!”

“Ah, there’s no way that Tywin, the number one, wouldn’t solve Naru’s problem.”

“Quiet down everyone. I could hear this chatter all the way to the entrance.”

Step—

The teacher had returned.

Thanks to this, the challenge was put off until lunchtime.

“Isn’t that Emily, the top student from the next class?”

“Look, that’s Sodomi, the third place in the whole school is there too.”

A bizarre bet between the top 1 student and the dead last.

This attracted the attention of the other kids as well.

Seeing this, Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and then said to Naru.

“Naru, are sure you’ll be okay? Should I make the problem for you?”

“No, it’s okay! But Elizabeth is a good girl!”

With that, Naru hugged Elizabeth.

As Elizabeth’s heart warmed because of this gesture, Naru reached into her shadow.

She then pulled something out of it.

“Molumolu, I’m sorry for waking you up from your nap.”

—Meow.

It was a small bundle of black fur.

The kids panicked a little when they saw it.

“What’s that?”

“Did she take that from her shadow?”

“What kind of animal is that? Just a bundle of black fur?”

The appearance of the unexpected animal left the kids puzzled.

Was it even an animal in the first place? – Naru then voiced their questions.

“What kind of animal is Molumolu?”

“……”

Tywin’s expression became very serious.

Was it a cat?

No, a cat without four legs?

The Fantastic Animal, the Cloudling…….It was more like a ball of fur than a cloud.

“……May I touch it?”

Tywin asked.

Naru then gladly handed Molumolu to her.

Fluffy—

It was soft and fluffy, much more than she’d expected, and the insides were very squishy.

She had never felt something like this before.

And it made her feel warm.

“I don’t know.”

“Since Tywin didn’t answer, the cutlet goes to Naru! Naru, seize and plunder! Hehehehe!”

Tywin’s cutlet was taken by Naru.

The children started to whisper, saying things like “Tywin doesn’t know something” or “She lost her cutlet!” as they watched.

Tywin was furious.

There really existed something she didn’t know.

“So, what kind of animal is Molumolu?”

Biting back her frustration, Tywin asked.

Naru then said.

“Actually Naru doesn’t know either! That’s why I named him Molumolu!”

“…What?”

Tywin was speechless.

And beside her, Elizabeth burst into laughter.

“Tywin, in the end, you couldn’t answer Naru’s question, so Naru won. Your cheese cutlet is Naru’s. Naru won this bet!”

Elizabeth was triumphant that her friend, Naru, had won.

However, Tywin couldn’t hide her frustration at being ‘fooled.’

‘How could I, a champion of the Goddess, lose to Naru……! And what is that animal? I couldn’t recognize it even with the power of the Goddess.’

The children burst into laughter at the situation.

Then, someone spoke up.

“The Priestess of Glutony knows everything. If you give her something to eat, she can tell you anything. She could even figure out what Molumolu is.
