Studying And Training Is Such A Pain (7)
Taking the picture diary from Salos possession.
It was a challenging task even for .
It would take days just to plan it out.
Of course, if I used physical strength, a day would be sufficient.
But then one of us would die.
I didnt exactly want that so I decided to be truthful.
By asking her to return the diary.
And in exchange, I offered Salo the pearl I received from Hina as paynt.
You can have this so give the diary.
That, is it the Rainbow Pearl?
Dont know. I just accepted it.
Is it genuine? No, it cant be. The Rainbow pearl is the stone in the ring thats generationally inherited by the priestess. One of the 7 Treasures that any thief wants to get their hands on.
The 7 Treasures.
Ive heard of them as well.
Yahbachs Lightning.
The Pirate Kings Secret Treasure.
Snixs Silk.
Priestesss Pearl.
Unholy Grail.
Epars Nymph Hand.
The Unknown Treasure.
These were the seven.
They were treasures that thieves and adventurers sought but it was a mystery as to whether they actually existed.
But possessing even one of them and selling it would definitely have anyone set for life.
Due to that, there were many counterfeits out on the market.
This would be the Priestesss Pearl, then.
I looked at the pearl in my hand.
A 7-shaded pearl.
It probably wasnt genuine.
There was no way that a kid like Hina had the actual pearl from a ring passed down to priestesses.
But Salos eyes were keen.
This doesnt appear to be a counterfeit. Can I take a look at it?
Did she forget that shes currently a teacher?
Salos eyes were shining hungrily. This girl used to be called Salo of Greed when she was part of Tenebris.
They were indeed greedy eyes.
No. If you return the picture diary, Ill let you hold it.
Yeah? Thats fine.
Swoosh
Salo handed the diary.
Isnt she giving it up too easily?
As I thought that, Salo turned the pearl all over in her hand and grinned.
See here. This 7-shaded pearl is emitting divine energy. It can probably heal most wounds right away. This really must be The Orders treasure. How did you get this again?
From the owner of this diary.
Swoosh
I took the picture diary and stepped out of the office.
Though she had promised to wait outside, Hina wasnt there.
Of course, I could now track Hinas footprints.
I only needed to follow the karma left in the pink-colored prints.
After following for a bit, another classroom appeared.
32 multiplied by 2 is 64.
This ti it was a mathematics class.
Hina was peering through the window on tiptoes and scratching equations into the dirt with a stick, it was pretty studious behavior.
It was comndable compared to so of the kids in the class who sat there dozing off.
Did she sneak in on lessons regularly?
Hey, I found your diary.
!
Hina jumped.
Imdiately she took the book from my hand and flipped frantically through the pages as if to check for missing or damaged sections.
Good!
The kid sighed with a big whew from under her hood.
Nothing seed to be missing, then.
Tap
Just then, sothing dropped next to from up high.
I turned to see a woman with her face behind a veil.
When the smack of peach scent started to get dizzying, Salo, no longer a teacher and back to her thief selfgrabbed Hina by the nape.
Let, let gooo!
Kid, where did you get this pearl?
.
So you wont answer? Tsk You better tell truthfully how you got this. If you dont, Ill smack your hands.
Salo was ruthless like an expert in dealing with children.
Was this the experience of an elentary school teacher?
It seed effective, seeing as Hina was shaking in her ash-colored robes.
M-Mom!
Mom? Why would I be your mom?
Salo scowled.
But I think I understood what Hina was trying to say.
I think she got it from her mom.
Oh? Thats what you ant?
Nod Nod
Hina nodded her head vigorously.
Seeing that, Salo humd through her nose.
How did you know what she was saying? All she said was Mom.
How did I know?
I dont know.
Just had a feeling.
Without letting go of Hinas nape, Salo handed the pearl out to and spoke.
This, its genuine. No matter what, it doesnt seem like an imitation. How did she get a hold of The Orders treasure? You, who are you?
Salo asked.
Hina in ashy robes shut her mouth tightly.
It was like a turtle hiding in its shell.
Riiiip
Right then, the old robe that Hina was wearing tore.
Because Salo was holding onto it by the collar.
Drop
As a result, Hina fell to the ground, and with the hood part torn, it let loose long, pink hair.
And as well a surprisingly cold-looking face.
Ah.
Hina hurriedly hid her face in her hands.
Was she shy?
She didnt seem to want to show her face.
Of course, my aesthetic sense was rather agile and precise.
A quick glance of Hinas princess power was C.
It was a level of good competition for Naru who diligently attended school.
No, that didnt really matter.
What was important was this.
Hey, Salo. This kid, doesnt she resemble you?
What? What are you saying?
* * *
Salo had gone to the cabin where the Priestess of Gluttony was known to live.
She was planning to ask about Nocturnes Dagger.
But the Priestess of Gluttony kept acting as if she was distracted by sothing and discovered that she was hiding this Picture Diary behind her.
What are you hiding so carefully? Give it here. Ha! Youre no match for !
Hiiiik!
Salo finally snatched away the diary with force from the girls hands.
And the content written inside was
G-Give it back!
No.
Salo stole the item from the loudly protesting child and ran off.
And now back to the present.
Salo, doesnt she look like you?
At the mans inquiry, Salo frowned.
It was sothing she hadnt ever thought about.
She looks like ?
Did we look alike?
Salo observed the child with narrowed eyes.
The pink hair was one resemblance.
Salo took after her mother, Herodias with pinkish-gold hair.
Even on this continent, it was a rare color for hair, and Hina had a very similar color.
But that was it.
Besides that, there was no other resemblance.
This kid ran down the wall vertically earlier. If you taught her Wall Climbing, its definitely possible.
Ive never taught her that skill.
Well yeah, not current you. But future you couldve taught her. Salo, it could be my assumption, but she might be.
The man tried to say sothing.
Might beeeeeeeee
Perhaps she was nervous because the word sounded stretched, and realizing that, Salo burst out first with all that she had.
I, I dont accept it!
What?
Salo couldnt accept it.
How could this wild ferret of a girl be her daughter?
Struggle Struggle Struggle
Let down!
.
!
Whoa, Salo. Did you just hear that? Such profanity for a kid. Shes a potty mouth like you.
How could her daughter be less civilized than Naru?
This couldnt be real!
Pababat
Just then, the pink-haired girl bit down on Salos wrist and took off.
Ow!
With Salo having lost her grip, she ran for the schools wall with great speed and skillfully slipped through the doghole-like opening at the bottom.
Watching that, Judas spoke.
Wooow, look at her escape through the doghole. I think she definitely is related to us sohow. The three signposts that the Grandmaster was talking about might be three children.
Signposts?
The man mumbled sothing incomprehensible.
But Salo didnt care.
.
The afternoon passed like that.
Salo headed towards Provence Village after classes finished.
It was the cabin where the Priestess of Gluttony lived and after breaking in, she felt cold air.
The inside of the cabin was completely empty.
She must have moved out.
The third rule for survivalif your hideout is discovered, abandon it imdiately. Indeed, shes quite cautious. Very well taught. Did she also remove all traces?
Salo searched around the cabin.
The interior was absolutely clean with no hints of a child having lived here at all.
Impressive.
Not bad, she thought while feeling strangely proud. Salo wasnt sure why she had a change of feeling but it was what it was.
Is she really my daughter?
Naru and Cecily.
She sowhat sensed it, that neither was her daughter.
And so Salo alone had felt anxious.
There were children from the future and it had been strange that she was the only one without.
But, shouldnt a child of mine be more distinguished and elegant than anyone?
Salo was fairly confident in child-rearing.
That ant if she had a daughter, then she would be able to raise her into a dignified and refined lady.
But the Priestess of Gluttony, Hina, was basically a small, wild animal that was wary.
And also had a timid personality.
And, if shes my kid, why would she need to run from ?
Salo looked at the wrist bitten by Hina earlier.
The clear teeth mark was rather painful.
What kind of daughter would bite her mother and run away?
Naru and Cecily would certainly never do such a thing.
Of course, Salo had been aggressive with Hina.
She did things like grabbing onto the collar of a kid trying to escape and stealing her picture diary.
Thinking about it now, she might have been a bit harsh with her.
If I had really taught that kid.
Salo imagined where she would be hiding.
There were three hideouts that Salo built in the Duchy of Freesia.
And if it was a place near the Provence Village where a child would hide.
Step
Salo moved quickly.
It was already late evening.
Where Salo headed was one of the old, abandoned gymnasium storages on Graham Academy properties.
It was a storage for old vaulting horses and mats, a place Salo used occasionally as a hideout.
Rustle Rustle
Arriving in front of the storage, there was noise of sothing moving inside.
Looking closely, there was light like a candle fla flickering through the window.
Swoosh
Salo peered through the storage window.
Inside, a pink-haired girl was busily sewing her robe.
Her actions spoke of the importance of the torn robe.
Found you. I thought youd be here.
When Salo yelled through the window
Hinas eyes t Salos and she collapsed to the ground in fear!
Hiiiik!
Hina quickly hid her diary.
But Salo opened the window which went Drrrr and calmly entered the storage.
I dont need the diary anymore. I already morized whats written in it. What I want to ask is, are you perhaps my daughter?
.
Hinas eyes darted around.
Then, at last, holding onto her ragged robe tight, she nodded.
Nod Nod
At that mont, Salo felt as if fireworks went off in her head.
She, too, had a daughter from the future.
But she was also curious at the sa ti.
Then why did you keep running from ?
Because.
Vooom Voooooooom
Hinas body started glowing.
Like a firefly.
At the peculiar sight, Salo was baffled.
Then Hina made a long face and shed tears.
