326 – Vacation (4)

The sweet vacation ended only when I was dragged by Rod’s ears.

After being dragged away, I heard complaints that weren’t Rod’s complaints, and I could understand why he was so angry.

At first, I planned to wait patiently, but when he didn’t come back after a week, I thought there was a problem.

When I thought about the reason, I realized that my compass might have been broken, so I entered the forest myself.

However, instead of the compass being broken, I was just playing around with it, so I couldn’t help but be angry.

“So it’s like that now?”

“Yes. They are punishing harshly.”

Kara and Rod were talking to each other in front of me. A look of absurdity appeared on Kara’s face

Not only she, but most of the people gathered at her place had similar expressions.

After taking anthelmintic medication at the hospital, the beard and hair on my face were neatly trimmed.

“Kneeling and raising your hands?”

“Isn’t it enough?”

I was on my knees with my hands up in front of everyone. Of course, it is a punishment given by Lord.

For me, it was a very simple and easy corporal punishment, but I was embarrassed to do it in front of everyone.

“Isn’t that what you usually do to kids?”

“You’re a kid, right? “A kid who always causes accidents.”

“··· ···”

Kara looked at me with a shocked expression in response to Rod’s answer to her. I just stuck out my lips and pouted.

Kara seemed to understand my reaction and nodded her head. It seems like she thinks of me as a kid too.

“That’s right. By the way, how long are you going to park it?”

“In 30 minutes… Uh-huh! Raise your hands straight up!”

Rod shouted loudly while stirring the teacup with his spoon. Pointing at me with a spoon is a bonus.

I was started by the shouting sound and lifted his arm. It seems like it’s too obvious that it’s coming down quietly.

No matter how physically capable I am, I cannot overcome gravity. It’s natural that it hurts when you lift your arm for a long time.

I don’t know if Rod knew this or if he really treated me like a child, but he gave me appropriate corporal punishment.

“I was planning to end the corporal punishment in 30 minutes, but I changed my mind. Let’s change it to 1 hour.”

“Ah.”

“And I’ll have you write a reflection. While other people’s hearts were burning to the ground, you were actually just playing around.”

“30 minutes…”

Isn’t that a bit too much? I muttered softly, asking for just 30 minutes.

1 hour is too long. Honestly, even if I just hold my arm for 10 minutes, it hurts a lot.

But it seems that Rod has no intention of listening to my plea. He flatly refused.

“No. Not only did you break your promise, you showed your laziness, so you should be punished. I thought you grew up after that, but I was wrong.”

“President. Sivar is also reflecting sufficiently. Can’t you just look at it for a little while?”

If there are people who criticize you harshly, there are also people who gently encourage you. That person is Eli.

Ellie approached me carefully and hugged me gently. Her arms her went down to her her temple her her her in her her warm embrace her her.

And then he clings to her. It feels like she ran away from her harsh father and into her mother’s arms.

“Student Ellie. The problem is that you accept Sibar’s foolishness too well. And then her habits improved.”

“I think it’s okay if my habits get worse, right? It’s not like Shibar has bad intentions, it’s just for a little while.”

“That’s right. That’s right.”

I quietly agreed with Ellie’s opinion. The only person I can trust right now is Ellie.

“Ellie. Aren’t you angry that Sivar broke his promise her?”

“That’s right, Mr. Ellie. Just because he’s Mr. Sivar, you shouldn’t look at him too much.”

But it looks like they have no intention of letting things go smoothly this time. Kara and Grace each offered counterarguments.

This is especially upsetting to Grace, as it is deeply related to her own sleep.

This is especially true since the Kara are a Tatar people who value promises and transactions.

“Is that so? But Sivar is aware of his mistakes, right? And Mr. President.”

“Speak.”

“Did Sivar come up with various excuses as he was dragged in? Or did he just follow quietly?”

“Well… I followed along obediently. Although I did get scolded by a large lion along the way.”

Other than that, I was brought in quietly. She didn’t make any lies or excuses.

In fact, if I had lied and said that I had just finished adjusting, I could have gotten away with it. I didn’t do that.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve had the experience of being lied to, or if it’s just my instinct, but I don’t lie often.

Even if I have no choice but to lie, I tend to change my mind or remain silent.

“Look at that. Sivar is also aware of his mistake and is reflecting on it. I realized it today, so I won’t do that again next time.”

“My thoughts are different?”

“Huh?”

At that time, Luna, who was watching quietly, opened her mouth. Her people’s eyes turned to her.

If nothing else, she felt a little uneasy when she opened her mouth. What will you say to get me into trouble again this time?

Luna looked at me intently and expressed her opinion with her characteristic fierce expression.

“Couldn’t it just be that Sivar didn’t even intend to lie?”

“Are you saying your thoughts didn’t reach that far?”

“Yes.”

This bitch is real.

‘How did you know?’

There was no need for it, and I was so in a hurry at the time that I didn’t even think about lying.

I just felt like I was screwed. Luna’s words are correct.

Luna flutters her chaotic face every time, but she sometimes shows great insight like this.

The problem is that the situation always hits me hard. I don’t know if I should call that an ally.

“In other words, Sivar is far from being clever, right? I understand.”

Ellie was amazing in wrapping it up in a good way. She truly has amazing packaging skills.

As I was looking at her face with admiration, Rod, as if she had made up her mind, opened her mouth.

“Good. Let’s end the corporal punishment here.”

“Really?”

“Instead, write a reflection.”

It’s just a reflection. It is enough that corporal punishment has ended.

Ellie must have felt the same way, as she hugged me tightly and rocked her body. I just want to be like this for the rest of my life.

The most cozy and comfortable place in the world is Ellie’s arms. It couldn’t even be compared to the Forest of Chaos.

‘Should we go here on our next vacation?’

I had a sinister thought for a moment, but I quickly shook it off. I don’t know anything else, but I need to endure this desire.

Afterwards, she came out of Ellie’s arms and wrote a reflection as Rod said. The problem here is people.

“······Why are you looking?”

“I’m just curious?”

“It’s my first time seeing you write.”

Everyone was watching me write my reflection. They say it’s amazing that I wrote.

Who was it last time? Anyway, I once wrote a reflection letter to educate the guy who was being mean to Kara.

At that time, I used it alone and there were no problems, but not now. I felt embarrassed for some reason so I secretly covered it with my arm.

“Are you really embarrassed?”

“Yes. You recognize everything.”

“Now that I think about it, Sivar, you only know the common language, right?”

“Yes.”

It’s natural because the only thing I learned was the common language. Strictly speaking, the language of another country itself can be understood.

We were even able to understand passwords at a glance, which gave us a much advantage during exams.

Aside from understanding, I just can’t speak. Also, it is impossible for me to write the text myself.

“Doesn’t Sivar understand other countries’ languages anyway? He also understands our Tatar language.”

“But wouldn’t it be better to learn at least one language? Understanding and speaking are two different things.”

“Well, if you’re going to settle somewhere, it would be good to know the language of that country.”

“··· ···”

I think it naturally leads to my language study. I don’t know anything else, but I hate studying.

You should study instead of sparring. Isn’t there a saying that heroes don’t study?

Of course, I’m far from a hero, but I really didn’t want to study.

“What do you think, President? You’ve been wandering around the world.”

“Well, when you live in that country, you learn the language on your own. But you have to be careful about learning the language.”

“Why?”

“The first thing you learn is the country’s curse words.”

“··· ···”

This is an answer that clearly comes from experience. In fact, even if the language is different, most ‘swear words’ have a strong tone.

I don’t know what he was talking about, but I was able to figure out that he was swearing.

Rod seems to be worried that I might learn to swear first. But there is something he doesn’t know.

‘I’m good at swearing.’

It’s just that I don’t feel the need to, so I tend to curse in my own way. The same goes for pad lip.

Last time I wrote a reflection, I also used a vertical lip. Of course, I pretended it wasn’t the case at the time.

“If Sivar wants to learn, he will learn. It’s not urgent right now, right?”

“That’s true too. Kara will be upset too.”

“Why me?”

“The only person here who doesn’t know the language of the Matra Empire is Kara.”

As Grace said, Kara is the only one who does not know the language of the Matra Empire.

Moreover, because Tatar is a new country, its value as a second foreign language is low.

You may ask why the official language is not a second foreign language, but that is because it is limited to the academy.

“Tsk… That’s true too. Should I learn the language of the Matra Empire at this point?”

“If you want to learn, I will do my best to help you.”

Kara also seemed to know this, but she showed an understanding reaction even though she was sad.

I stared at her expression and wrote down her reflection.

‘I have to learn the Tatar language first.’

There are three people from the Matra Empire alone. On the other hand, there is only Kara in Tatar.

I may go to Tatar soon, and there is no harm in learning. I have to surprise Kara at the same time.

How will people react when I speak the Tatar language? Just thinking about it made me excited.

“Kara.”

“Huh?”

“What is my name in the Tatar language? Not in words, but in letters.”

“Huh? Why that suddenly?”

“I just wanted to write it down here.”

After writing all the reflections, she spoke to Kara. As soon as she heard me, she blinked her green eyes.

She usually has a mature image, but her immature reaction makes her strangely cute. I think her head must be spinning by now.

Still, nothing special will come out. Kara held her pen with a puzzled expression on her face.

“Can I write it here?”

“Yes.”

– Ssuk suk. Zech.

Kara wrote my name at the bottom of hers. Of course it is the Tatar language.

Since the motif was a motif, the Tatar language was close to Arabic. Still, it won’t be difficult to learn.

If you study the grammar system and memorize words carefully, you will soon be able to master it.

“Grandpa. I wrote it all down.”

“Okay.”

“Can I play now?”

“Okay then.”

What should I do to play? I can’t go into the forest, so I should just warm up and train.

Since there is still vacation left, she will be able to spend some leisurely time. I walked away with a happy face.

No. To be exact, I was trying to move it. If it weren’t for Rod’s next action.

“Where should I plug this in? This would be a good place.”

“······Grandpa?”

“Why are you doing that?”

Rod pinned my reflection on the wall. Put it on the wall so everyone can easily see it.

This is Rod’s personal space. Therefore, you can only come in if it is urgent or by invitation.

“You received unintended help from a Kara student. If you do this, no one will know that it was written by Sivar. Everyone except us.”

“Let’s see where and what I wrote.”

“I’m curious.”

I feel like I have been sentenced to death. Women gathered around my reflection.

I looked at that figure helplessly, then turned my attention to Rod. He was leisurely drinking tea.

“From now on, we will have you write a reflection every time you have an accident. Of course, that reflection will be written on that wall.”

“······All from the beginning?”

“We will clean it up once a month. Of course, if there are more than 10 accidents, it will continue next month.”

“··· ···”

Now you can’t believe you’re using this method. Isn’t that too cruel?

“My son was like this when he was 5 years old. Hehe.”

“······Your son?”

“It wasn’t as bad as yours, but there was one troublemaker.”

“Am I worse than a 5-year-old?”

That one takes longer than the others. Rod answered my question sharply.

“Sounds obvious.”

I’m not some kind of potato head kid.

[Faith rises!]

Don’t be positive.
