My Daughters Are Regressors Chapter 50: School Tuition is More Expensive Than I Thought!

༺ School Tuition is More Expensive Than I Thought! (1) ༻

I was never the kind who enjoyed talking about the past.

Especially when it ca to the two months after I crash-landed on this continent of Pangaea, even the thought of it was enough to stress out.

But if I were to recall, the first thing that ca to mind was the excruciating hunger and thirst that shook to my very core.

A hunger that seed to cause even my soul to wither.

When I regained my senses, I found myself alone in so kind of a dense forest, with absolutely nothing to eat.

I an, I had suddenly been dropped into the Amazon jungle while on my way to buy ice cream at the convenience store; there was no way I could find anything to eat.

After a few days had passed, I reached a point where I thought, “Ah, if I continue like this, I’ll really starve to death.” So I resorted to tearing off strips of tree bark and chewing on them, or eating what looked like tender sprouts.

I even picked and ate any random mushrooms I could find, and those fruit-like things that resembled strange wild strawberries, only to suffer from diarrhea and stomach aches.

━Look, there’s a savage! An exiled or a castaway?

━We could get a good price for selling him!

And then, “human hunters” chased .

Hunters who literally specialized in hunting humans.

They hunted people with ropes and nets. Wow, I never knew that nets could be such a powerful weapon.

I thought they were used for catching fish or sothing, but once they were thrown at and started to entangle , I couldn’t move anymore.

Nets are overpowered.

Anyway.

In the end, I was captured by the human hunters.

They took to a place called the ‘Kowloon Mountains’.

It was a place where thieves’ huts and hideouts were haphazardly connected, forming a massive fortress.

I heard that it was a place on earth where all kinds of thieves and villains gathered, like a worldly abyss.

━You savage scum. There will be soone willing to buy you at a high price.

━Maybe Judas will buy you for a hefty sum? Didn’t that bastard say he was searching for a sacrifice to be offered to Nocturne?

This was the stronghold and holand of all thieves.

Their royal city.

The Kowloon Mountains.

Because of that, it was said that the “King of Thieves” ruled sitting on his “Scum Throne”, made from all the loot and stolen trash that was piled up over generations.

━Do you think I could sell him to soone that swings the other way? Not sure if those bastards like savages or not.

━Huh, what? Hey, that bastard is escaping!

━Did he untie the rope and escape? My, my dagger! Why is that bastard holding my dagger!?

━Catch him!

I cut the rope and desperately ran away.

I didn’t know what kind of situation I would face if I were sold as a slave in this thieves’ den.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the kingdom of thieves had plenty of alleyways and shadows for the dregs of this world to escape to and hide.

It all changed after a week spent in this lawless and cruel underworld-like city.

━So you’re the savage who escaped from the hunters, the Lucky brothers? And you even stole a dagger from them too? You’re quite skilled. Still, it would be strange for those brothers to not tear you apart if they find you.

━…

━Don’t be too wary. My na is Tamar. And you? No. Before that, it seems like you haven’t eaten anything, right? Do you want to eat a potato? I already ate half of it

It was at that mont that I t Tamar… No, Salo.

At that ti, Salo had long blonde hair.

Her eyes were blue and her skin was white.

To , who had been barely scraping by for a month in these thieves and savages-filled forests and mountains, the beauty of a woman was sharper than any real dagger.

━Wouldn’t you like to work with ? I want to steal sothing, and I need an actor to play the role of a strong man.

Even more so if such a woman was kind to .

━Actually… What I want to steal is a na. The na of the man who caused my mother’s death. But being with you, it seems like things will get better. You’re a really strange person.

━I’m strange?

━Yeah, you don’t seem like a savage or a thief. You feel fundantally different from all the scum crawling in this world. Maybe that’s why you’re such a newbie at thievery.

━Tamar, even though I look like this, I graduated from college. I was just going about my life when I suddenly got dragged to this strange place. Thievery is also new to .

━A Barbaroi going to college? Hahaha, that’s hard to believe. But it was an interesting story. I want to go see it too. To college, to school.

At that ti, I was filled with hope.

Although I had fallen into a strange world, I hoped that I could sohow make it through with my own two hands.

I was gradually learning thievery from Tamar and starting to adapt to this savage world to so extent.

I was filled with confidence at that ti.

━Tamar, let’s go together once everything is done. If we defeat Judas, who is the enemy of your mother, we can leave this place. I heard that there’s a big school in a neighboring principality.

━Once everything is done and we leave… hey. Why are you saying that to ?

━Because, Tamar, I don’t like seeing you in this filthy and despicable place. I… I want you to see a slightly better world.

━Is this a confession?

━…

It was my first confession to soone of the opposite sex.

I wonder how I looked at that ti.

What kind of response would I receive?

I was so nervous that it felt like my heart was about to burst.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the woman laughed at my story.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

━What’s with this cowardly confession? But still, it was interesting. Many people have confessed to , but among them, you seem like the biggest fool. Maybe it’s because you’re an uneducated barbarian.

━…

━But, I’m happy, still. Leaving this place, huh? I never even thought about it. Yeah. Just leaving today, without a trace. Stealing everything and going to a place where no one can find us.

Perhaps I am the protagonist of this world.

I had such thoughts.

But that was just my delusion, as I was still a novice among novices.

━Stupid. I am Judas’ daughter. The Judas I ntioned as my enemy is actually my one and only father, and this secluded mountain is my holand and my ho. I will never leave this place.

Lies?

From the beginning?

From the ti we t?

━This will be your last lesson. To beco a thief, there is always sothing you must rember. Never trust anyone else. Consider it as paying your tuition fee.

━Princess, what should we do with this guy? Should we offer him as a sacrifice to Nocturne?

━No. This guy has so skills. Instead of offering him as a sacrifice, let’s put him in the underground fighting arena for now. Rember, we needed soone to fight the two lions, right?

Right.

This is just the beginning of a long, cursed fate.

I did everything I could to survive, and I survived.

And I was now facing her again.

* * *

“Judas, do you have a daughter? A little girl. Six years old. Black hair.”

Salo, with her legs up on the chair, asked curiously.

She probably knew about Naru.

Salo is a ticulous thief after all.

She calculates and plans thoroughly, considering all the preliminary work and variables, rather than letting her emotions run wild and acting on instinct.

It was clear that she must have done considerable research on and Naru as well.

Salo spoke.

“You said you’ve never had a girlfriend and even confessed, but you have a six-year-old child. It doesn’t make sense timing-wise. You’re a complete liar, aren’t you?”

It seems like there’s been a misunderstanding.

There’s no need to explain, I guess.

No.

It was the perfect ti for so sarcasm.

“Don’t trust anyone. That’s the last lesson you taught , wasn’t it? Because of that surprise attack, my head is still aching.”

As I was about to nod in agreent to our plan to leave together, suddenly soone hit hard on the back of my head.

It was that guy, thief Conrad, who hit my head with an iron bat.

I don’t know if it was because of that, but even now, the back of my head feels slightly indented.

It even hurts a bit whenever it rains.

Salo laughed unaware of my frustration.

“Idiot. The problem lies with the person who is easily deceived. Thinking that soone likes you just because they treated you well, how pathetic.”

Soon, the sound of nodding heads could be heard in the conference room.

“It is true that the one who is deceived is at fault.”

“If you’ve been deceived, there’s nothing you can do about it.”

See?

This is the problem with thieves.

Their mindset was completely different.

They fundantally believe that the one who suffers is at fault.

Clap— Clap—

Soone applauded at that mont.

It was Muscle Thief Baraba.

“I understand that the relationship between the 13th Judas and the Back Alley Princess, daughter of the previous Judas is complicated, but for now, wouldn’t it be better to have a more constructive conversation?”

Unfurl—

Muscule Thief Baraba unfolded what looked like a leather scroll on the table.

There, a mind map-like diagram was drawn, and upon closer inspection, the nas and characteristics of people were inscribed on it.

“This is the organizational chart of Tenebris brought by Salo. Sahad of Lust and Shehrazade of Pride have both been killed. Salo of greed, betrayed them and is now part of our ‘Shadow Council,’ which ans there are four left, right?”

Tenebris was an unofficial organization ford by seven executives with platinum-level skills.

Each had one of the seven attributes: pride, lust, envy, wrath, greed, gluttony, and sloth.

Among them, pride and lust were definitely dead, and Salo, who took the place of greed, joined the ‘Shadow Council,’ so there were four remaining.

Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy.

Swoosh—

Salo lowered the leg she had placed on the table.

Then, she straightened her posture and pointed at the diagram with her fingers.

“There are four executives left, but I don’t know much about them. The only one I know is Mara of Wrath. He’s the apostate monk from the Ascending Sun Sect. There’s also the Priestess of Gluttony.”

“The Priestess of Gluttony?”

Baraba asked.

And Salo calmly answered.

“She loves to eat. That’s why she got that na. Nobody knows her true identity. But she has the amazing ability to predict the future. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all of our strategies originate from this Priestess.”

It reminded a lot of the astrologer, Tywin.

Could it be that Tywin is the priestess of Gluttony?

When I was thinking about the connection between the two, Salo pointed to a single character with her finger.

“I saw Sloth once, he was sitting on my left. I think I heard that he was from the Principality of Freesia. I don’t know if he has a bad temperant or if he’s just unsociable, but he rarely participates in etings. But one thing’s for sure, he’s a dangerous guy.”

That’s a pretty helpful explanation.

I suspiciously glanced at Salo.

The old thief then said.

“Miss, I was hoping you could help us with sothing, to prove your loyalty and that you truly left Tenebris for our Shadow Council. Is that fine?”

“What is it?”

“I want you to help get rid of the Tenebris executives. We can’t trust you if you can’t at least do that. That’s the law of the thieves’ world, isn’t it?”

In other words.

To prove the sincerity of her defection, Salo had to bring the heads of the Tenebris executives, who were once her comrades.

Certainly, there were few ways better to prove Salo’s intentions as effectively as that.

Is this the wisdom of an old man?

He then spoke to in a low voice.

“Can you keep an eye on her? Even if her words might be all lies, her skills are real. You’re the only one among us who can keep an eye on that woman.”
