70. Hero Party Needs Training (8)
70. Champion party needs training (8)
This is a dangerous safari at a glance.
rumble- rumble-
The golden retriever and the black cat exchanged sharp glances.
They sat on the chairs and looked at each other.
“Stop staring. Your eyesight deteriorates.”
“mister! I am in self-defense! He was wrong!”
“You hit me first and then say something like that. It is clear that his conscience is dead.”
“stop. Don’t even open your mouth. Please listen slowly one by one.”
ha…
Two people rolling on the floor and holding their hair.
Luna and Saten whose long hair has become sporadic.
First of all, in order to reconcile, we have to listen to the two of them.
I asked, arranging Luna’s hair.
“So, Luna. Why did you guys fight while rolling on the floor and grabbing your hair?”
“… I’m annoyed!”
“petulance? Is it okay to hit Saten when I’m annoyed?”
“Oh no, not that! He’s not listening! Let’s do some cleaning! I’m just looking at the book! I do the cleaning by myself! Absolutely unfair! I mean, I worked hard to win the award!”
Did the cleaning alone.
Did Saten refuse to work as a dustpan?
Saten with a strong sense of identity.
I was expecting something like this to happen.
I didn’t know it would lead to a physical fight.
“Still, just because you’re annoyed doesn’t mean you can hit people, Luna.”
“Hey, he hit me too!!”
“You were the first to start. Next time, even if you get annoyed, try to resolve it with a conversation.”
“You are strict with me every day… ”
“answer.”
“I see! Got it! Because I was wrong! Next time we’ll talk! All right!?”
f*ck- f*ck-
Luna answered, raising her voice as if it was unfair.
It was a shame that he was only scolding himself.
While talking to Luna like that, she untied all of Luna’s tangled golden hair.
“No more tangled hair. And, Luna. You seem to think that you’re the only one who got scolded for doing something wrong, but that’s not the case.”
“to?”
“You did something wrong, and Saten also did something wrong. So let go of your anger.”
You’re not the only one who’s upset.
In the first place, the fight doesn’t happen alone because it’s wrong.
Either one person is very wrong, or two people are wrong.
That’s how the outcome of a physical fight comes out.
Make sure there is no problem with Luna’s hair.
I made eye contact with Saten.
“Saten, what do you think is your fault?”
“Is it my fault?”
“Yeah, I’m telling you it’s your fault.”
“Hmm… ”
Saten thought for a moment.
Even though he had been fighting while holding his head up to the last minute, he was calm and rational.
There was no emotion in her like anger.
Saten answered confidently.
“It’s not my fault.”
“I, I… ! What I have no conscience! Without you anymore!”
“I told you I can’t dustpan. The same goes for brooms.”
“Then why can’t you do it?!”
“I would have said I couldn’t do the work of commoners-”
“… stop.”
I know why you guys fought.
No matter what I say, the same answers are repeated over and over again, so it must have led to a conversation in the body.
I stopped the children’s voices and spoke to Saten.
“Saten, do you really think you are not at fault in this case?”
“Yes, I did nothing wrong.”
Saten doesn’t even know what the problem is.
last.
Finally, I asked Saten again.
“Do you really think there is nothing wrong with you?”
“… Yes, I think the same.”
Saten understood the atmosphere.
However, I don’t know what kind of mistake I made and what kind of mistake it was.
His expressionless face began to crack slightly.
“You really don’t know what’s wrong, Saten.”
“I see! You’re a complete idiot!”
“Luna, stay still. I asked Saten.”
“Yes.”
I met Saten’s eyes.
Her black eyes swayed like the wind.
“Saten.”
“… yes.”
“Why didn’t you clean up? Because you can’t do what commoners do?”
“… Yes, I am an aristocrat by status. You mustn’t do anything demeaning.”
Identity.
Saten’s status is an absolute nobility.
Looking at her past, the education she received had many behaviors related to such ‘dignity’.
Like walking with a full glass of water on your head.
That the waist and the head cannot be turned downward.
The education of the nobility, which is completely incomprehensible.
Failure to do so would result in a ‘punishment’ like a whip, so it was only natural that Saten was obsessed with such dignity.
So, I had to correct Saten’s way of thinking through education.
“Saten, then I will ask.”
“yes.”
“Why do you think cleaning is demeaning?”
“Yeah, it’s dirty.”
Cleaning is a dirty act.
This is the part where you can see at a glance what kind of education the Sicilian family pursues.
“That sounds interesting, Saten. Cleaning is a dirty deed.”
“Then, isn’t it a dirty deed to bend over to pick up the trash?”
“Of course not.”
“… No?”
Saten furrowed her brows and tilted her head in complete disbelief.
If you explain in words why it’s not a dirty act, you won’t understand.
To do that…
“You’d better experience it yourself, Saten.”
“… yes?”
“Follow me.”
Let me tell you what cleaning is.
If you didn’t gain enlightenment there, you can’t help but give a ‘prize’.
***
The place where the two of them had been wallowing was littered with dust and garbage.
It was a sign of a fierce fight, and it looked like they were scattered while holding each other’s heads.
“Saten. Come here and grab some cleaning tools.”
“… Am I alone?”
“I just did it myself! Do it yourself too!”
“… ”
It’s been a while since Luna was saying the right thing.
Saten was forced to hold a broom and dustpan in her hands.
“… I just brought it.”
“Yeah, well done.”
I grabbed the cleaning tool in Saten’s hand.
only one thing.
“Eh, why are you picking up a broom!?”
“Look closely, Saten. I will show you why cleaning is not a dirty act.”
“… ?”
Two curious children.
I quietly swept the broom right in the middle of their gaze.
Collected dust and trash in one place.
It was a very skillful move, as it had been done since Aina’s apprentice days.
“Oh, the old man is using a broom… !!”
“… Is that such a surprise?”
“No, you can use a broom too! Uncle is good at cleaning!”
“… is that so?”
Luna and Saten were talking behind my back while I was cleaning.
It didn’t really matter, so I didn’t care.
Anyway, I swept the floor with a broom.
As a result, we were able to collect quite a lot of garbage in one place.
Now it was saten’s time.
“Luna, even though you cleaned like this, didn’t Saten clean?”
“Yes, it is the same! 99% match!”
“Why is 1 percent empty?”
“Luna’s no effort!”
Right.
I ignored Luna and spoke to Saten.
“Saten, you said you couldn’t hold that dust and trash with your hands, right? Is it because it is a dirty job that requires you to lower your head and lower your back?”
“Yes, I can’t. It doesn’t match the dignity. I cannot lose my dignity in front of others.”
“Then, if I put that trash in. Does that mean I am doing something that is not worthy of dignity?”
“That, that… ”
Saten didn’t answer easily.
Does the person who is his magic teacher, abducting and raising him, does a degrading job?
That seemed unacceptable to Saten.
“If you don’t do it, I will.”
“To make commoners over there… ”
“Well, don’t ignore me as a commoner!”
“Saten, there are certain things that people have to do. You shouldn’t have asked for more than that. If you can’t, I’ll do it.”
“… ”
Silent Saten.
I took the dustpan from Saten’s hand.
If Saten won’t do it, I will.
If Saten doesn’t respond even if you take this action…
The ‘award’ that was set to be given would be non-existent.
“This is your last chance, Saten. No regrets?”
“… ”
You don’t answer.
I swept up the dust and trash I had collected with a broom.
Dust piled up in the dustpan.
Then, the floor where the dust had gathered became clean.
“Cleaning is not a dirty job, it makes a dirty place clean, Saten.”
“Yeah, but I can’t-“
“I understand you. But, I can’t see it well.”
Same with that ‘notebook’ in the room.
“That, that… ”
“I understand your intentions, so I won’t say anything. Instead, don’t do the experiment again.”
“Eh, an experiment? What is it?”
“You don’t have to know.”
know it hurts
It’s better not to know.

Just looking at the letters, I felt how cruel the experiment was.
It was better not to know Luna, whose hair is a flower garden.
‘… The cleaning class is a success for Hare and Estiya. Are Luna and Saten a failure?’
Still, I can’t let Luna fail.
I should give a prize to Luna for cleaning hard.
To put it bluntly, this failure was Saten alone.
How to learn from failure now.
“The awards for cleaning this time are all except Saten. Let’s finish cleaning time now.”
Now is the time to eat.
I’m going to go to the restaurant.
I also need to give Saten time to make up for his mistakes.
With that thought in mind, I moved to leave.
However, Saten did not move from the spot.
“… It’s not dirty, it’s clean action.”
Her gaze was fixed on the clean floor that the broom had swept.
