Chapter 74: "Reason Thea hate Himeko"

Today's weather is very sunny.

Even though Himeko just came here, and became teacher St. Freya because of the recommendation from captain Ragna, Himeko really likes this place.

It's different from the weather in Belarus where it's sunny but still has cold air piercing the skin if you don't wear thick clothes. Here, the weather is perfect.

"Wait, why are they here?"

Taking a walk in the town square enjoying her day off with her favorite red sports car. Himeko who was enjoying the view of the beautiful city, suddenly stopped after seeing three familiar white hairs.

Kiana, Thea, and Aurora.

These three identical triplets really were easy to notice even if they were to squeeze into a crowd. Especially if the three of them were alone at this time.

Kiana and Thea were busy watching the toast displayed in front of the bakery. As for Aurora, she was currently busy disturbing the ants under the tree.

"You three, what are you doing here, aren't you playing too far?"

Thea: "What!?"

Kiana: "Ah, Himeko sensei!"

Aurora: "...."

....

There were three different responses that Himeko could see at this point. Kiana who was enthusiastic, Thea who suddenly looked at her with an angry look, and Aurora who had not cared at all, and was still bothering the ants on the ground bored.

Himeko really didn't mind Kiana and Aurora's response. But as for why Thea looked at her with an angry look, she really didn't understand.

"Thea, as your teacher, can you tell me why you hate me? If something went wrong, I'm sorry."

Himeko finally gave in.

Even though she didn't understand where she went wrong, Himeko apologized first.

Seriously, after hearing Himeko's apology. Thea's angry gaze slowly faded.

"Nothing... just a personal matter." Thea didn't want to talk about this any further.

The reason why she had been staring at Himeko angrily was because she was their homeroom teacher.

And speaking of teachers, she always remember back to the final lesson Himeko gave to Kiana.

It was the last lesson that really made an impression on her mind. Since then, Kiana has struggled to make this imperfect story more perfect.

Fight for all that is beautiful in the world.

Himeko has a very important role to play in shaping Kiana's personality who is unyielding, brave, and very supportive of her future growth.

But if we look at it from the other side, the words spoken by Himeko are also included in a curse that always haunts Kiana every night.

Thea didn't want to see Kiana who was the same as the plot, showing a mature smile that carried the pain of growing up, and trying to hide her own wounds secretly.

Every time she remembered Kiana who tried to smile innocently, to comfort everyone's worries that she was still the same silly Kiana as before. Thea couldn't hate Himeko any further.

All of Kiana's sufferers came from this red-haired woman in front of her!

Growing up is painful, holding onto the light of hope in the darkness is also painful! So because of that, she decided to protect Kiana!

Not fighting for all that is beauty in the world, but fighting to keep a smile from falling!

Crimson devil of tragedy, stay away from my sister!

"Ugh... Why do I feel like you're starting to hate me even more?" Himeko scratched her cheek in confusion.

Seeing Thea who was protecting Kiana behind her, and looking at her again with an angry look. She really didn't understand how Thea was thinking right now.

Didn't you already forgive me? Why are you suddenly angry again?

Himeko really didn't understand.

Could this be called puberty?

If I'm not mistaken, children who enter this stage usually have less stable emotions.

"Would you like some toast?"

"I want! I want!"

"Ah?!"

"...."

Get three different reactions again, but in much the same tone. Himeko immediately entered the bakery, and she bought the bread they wanted.

Himeko who was holding three bags of bread, gave them to them one by one.

"Aurora, here, for you too. Stop bothering those ants. They also have a life of their own."

Has a kraft bag filled with warm bread in her hand. Aurora raised her head to look at Himeko, and she squinted.

"Thank you, kind human."

Himeko: "...."

Well, at least she still had the most basic manners that Cecilia had taught her.

Even though it was a bit odd...

Kiana : "Thanks for the treat Himeko sensei! You really are a good teacher!"

Thea: "....Thanks for the bread... I will pay back later..."

Himeko shook her head: "It's okay, don't think about it too much."

However being a Valkyrie is a job that has a high salary. A little money to buy bread is not a problem for her.

"By the way, how did you three get here? It's very far from St. Freya. Did you two go with your parents?"

Hearing Himeko's question. Kiana and Thea immediately looked at Aurora who was eating bread quietly under a tree.

With the power of Herrscher of Void's stigmata that Thea gave her before evolution, how could "range" be an obstacle for them to explore?

Why do you think that the introverted Aurora is here with the two of them?

"No, we were just hanging out. Is it wrong to go far away without parental supervision? We are adults after all."

Thea immediately slapped the figure of a small child in her mind without hesitation. It's time to put on the adult hypocritical mask.

"No, I just think that the three of you are playing too far from home. Be careful, even though we are valkyries, we are still girls. You have to be extra careful when you are doing outdoor activities."

Giving general knowledge about adults to these naive girls front her. Himeko shows how extensive her current knowledge is.

However...

Kiana probably listened carefully to Himeko's words because she felt interested. But in Thea and Aurora's hearts, the two of them didn't care at all.

Be careful?

For who?

It might be better to say this to the bastard trying to bully the three of them.

"Then I won't bother you girls exploring anymore. Remember, don't play too far, and don't come home too late. Don't worry your parents."

Kiana nodded her head like a good child: "Hm, we understand Himeko sensei!"

Waving her hand to the three of them. Himeko got into her car, and she too left, to return to her house.

"Himeko sensei is really a good teacher...." Kiana praised her while eating the cheese meat filled toast bit by bit.

Thea who ate the milk bread given by Himeko, also changed the way she looked at her.

"Yeah, she's a good teacher. She really is very understanding. If only there were more, maybe I wouldn't hate her anymore."

Aurora fell silent.

".... Judging someone good or bad by giving food. You really are a hypocrite."

Aurora crossed her arms in dissatisfaction with Thea's attitude.

The words and tone that Thea used were not sincere enough for others to hear.

"Now that was just a joke. How could my conscience bend over a few buns."

"....?"

Felt Thea's words had a hidden meaning. Aurora, who is less sensitive in feelings, finds it very difficult to find out what is wrong.

Sitting under the tree, and eating the bread in each of their hands in great harmony. The three triplets finished their lunch, and they started getting ready.

"Since we have finished lunch, then we will continue our expedition!"

"Aurora, this time we are going to the North! This time we have to find the legendary game center!"

".... Why don't we just use GPS?"

Thea: "That's less challenging!"

Kiana: "Yeah! It's not that challenging!"

Aurora: "... I really really hate you two."

Sighing helplessly at being forced to be a means of transportation for the two of them. Aurora opened a portal in a hidden place in the alley, and they entered there to change places.

It's time for the three triplets to explore the island of St. Freya once again!
