035 – There’s ice cream at a friend’s house! # 1
3 am.
A dark and quiet time.
“Pizza bread… .”
Naru was still sleeping well.
Even if there was a power outage or a thief broke in, I never woke up and slept well.
I don’t know who will be carrying it.
“Naruya, I bought pizza bread, but dad eats it all by himself?”
“Ugh… .”
“Hi-Hi. actually goo I didn’t buy pizza bread.”
I tapped Naru’s cheek with my finger.
“Err… .”
Look at that growl.
Of course, Naru didn’t wake up.
I now look away from the sleeping Naru.
Looking into the living room of the lab, Brigitte was meditating.
“Brigitte, how are you feeling?”
I asked Brigitte, who was sitting in a chair meditating.
Brigitte was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in her thin silk nightgown.
From what I heard, that was the method of meditation learned from Bald Enkidus.
Brigitte said as it was with her eyes closed.
“I’m fine.”
Certainly looked fine to me.
Brigitte seems to be able to win the fight against the poison even without an antidote.
It is a little different from a country that has developed resistance to poison, or Enkidus, who has reached the level of indestructibility and is impervious to poison, and a warrior who was born strong from the beginning.
“Did you find the guy who stole my clothes?”
After the meditation, Brigitte asked me.
I answered appropriately.
“I roughly figured out the location. They said it was at number 61. But it was a bit late, so I just came back.”
“Street 61?”
Brigitte frowned.
For a moment, I wondered if the poison had been less neutralized, but that didn’t seem to be the case again.
“Judah, do you know that the Principality of Phrygia has been deliberately divided into districts numbered 1 to 60 according to their importance?”
“know. Number 1 is the street where the central city hall is located. Number 55 is an underdeveloped slum.”
It wasn’t long ago that I was kidnapped by the Arubaba bandits while playing in mud with the kids at Naru-55.
I already knew that the higher the number, the worse the security.
When I guessed to myself why Brigitte had brought up such words, he kindly explained.
“This Phrygian street officially ends at number 60. But you are saying that the thief is at number 61.”
“Oh, come to think of it, yes.”
61st Street, which cannot exist.
It was amazing.
Brigitte brought a map.
It was a map of the lands of the Principality of Phrygia, but it was described in great detail.
“Now, in a clockwise direction from the central city to the outskirts, the numbers increase from number 1, right? Number 61 is about here. It’s like the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Principality of Phrygia.”
“It’s a lawless zone.”
“right. Judas, as you know, the war was fierce. Many people have fled to this neutral country. Among them, there were many villains who could not melt into society. That’s where they are.”
I know very well that it’s a dead end place.
And on the one hand, it felt familiar.
Wherever you go, there is always a place like a trash can.
Brigitte added a word.
“It’s a perfect place for villains to gather. However, if you carelessly prowl, criminals will come out like a stoned hive. Therefore, Judas, not going alone today was the correct answer.”
“I see.”
“Anyway, yes. I get some sleep.”
Brigitte lay down on the sofa.
Shall I close my eyes for a second?
…
..
.
“Dad, good night… !”
Naru stood up and greeted them lively.
After sitting at the table for a while and dozing off, I also woke up.
When I turned my head, the bright morning sunlight from the balcony was filtering into the laboratory.
The time is 7 in the morning.
It seems like I only closed my eyes for a moment, but 4 hours passed quickly.
Didn’t someone steal my time?
“Dad are you awake? Naru woke up!”
Naru woke up on her own, even if I didn’t wake her up.
Sleep well at night and wake up early in the morning.
Are you a surprisingly morning person?
It was not a good constitution to be an excellent thief.
But it’s a good habit to be a princess.
“Naru slept well! I ate pizza bread in my dream! But, I’ve never had one, so I don’t know what it tastes like!”
Naru diligently explained the dream she had in the morning.
Looking at it, I remembered my old self.
As a freshman in elementary school, I was a distracted guy in my own way, so I was even suspected of having ADHD, but compared to Naru now, I was quiet.
“So, in Naru’s dream, she rode a rainbow and chased a cloud. The clouds ying ying ying——and ran away. Can you make a cloud into a familiar?”
Naru seems to like to chat.
Do all girls of this age like to talk like this?
Or is it just Naruto?
I can not know.
So I just nodded in admiration at Naru’s story, saying “I see.” Naru raised her hand as if thinking of something.
“And today is the day I go to my friend’s house! Cecily’s house!”
“Ah, it was true.”
Me, Naru, Brigitte and Garrot were invited to the Ragdoll family’s mansion.
When the Arubaba bandits kidnapped the little girl Cecily, he received an invitation as a thank you for saving her.
“Naru, go visit your friend’s house for the first time! It is expected!”
It’s a friend’s house.
How was the first friend’s house I went to hang out with?
It reminded me of myself in the first grade of elementary school.
When I went to a friend’s house for the first time in my life, the most surprising thing was that there were snacks on the table.
And there was ice cream in the huge refrigerator.
It was unimaginable in my house, where food disappears as soon as there is something to eat.
My friend’s mother was also younger than I thought, so I was surprised.
What will Naru feel and think as she goes to her friend’s house for the first time today? As I was thinking about my childhood, Naru added a word.
“Cecily, it might be an imp! So, as Garot said, you should put the Yalubalu grass into the pillow! Naru, work hard… I wear it… !”
right.
It wasn’t just going out to play, it was like an infiltration mission to Naru.
Then Brigitte spoke.
“Naruya, now then you should get ready for school.”
“I like going to Naru school! Today’s school lunch is sweet and sour pork!”
Naru washed up and got ready for school.
I gave Naru the square chocolate I got from the Thieves Guild.
Yesterday, a muscle thief named Barabbas said to me, “That was great. my defeat. As a token of respect, I will give you a chocolate that I made myself.”
The big, distracted guy uses a 10cm fruit knife or gives you homemade chocolate.
Surprisingly, the emotion is girlish.
“Oooh, chocolate… ! Naru, I’ve never eaten chocolate… !”
“Don’t forget to eat and brush your teeth.”
“Yes!”
Naru ran forward vigorously after eating breakfast prepared by Brigitte.
* * *
“Hi-Hi.”
Naruto felt good.
It was because I was going to play at a friend’s house today.
“Cecily!”
“Naru!”
Naru held hands with Cecily, who was waiting for her in front of the classroom.
Then, the red-haired girl, Elizabeth, who was watching this from the side, hesitantly held out her palm.
“Naruya, hello.”
“Erge!”
match-.
Naru also slapped Elizabeth’s palm.
Only then did Elizabeth, slightly relieved, ask, “Did you sleep well?”
Naru thought it best to tell her about the dream she had yesterday.
“Last night, Naru, I ate pizza bread in my dream, but the cloud ran away!”
“It is a strange dream.”
Cecily shook her head.
There was something strange in Cecily’s eyes.
It was a ribbon on Naru’s head.
“ribbon?”
“Dad gave it to me! like a butterfly! Naru likes butterflies! And I got a piece of paper from Brigitte that lets me make a contract with an animal! Naru, you have to catch animals!”
Naru took out a “magic scroll” from her bag.
Upon seeing this, the smart girl Elizabeth’s eyes widened.
“It’s great stuff. cool! I have about five magic scrolls in my house, but my dad won’t let me touch them!”
“Are there five of these? Isn’t Elizabeth’s house great?”
“my house? It’s just a normal house. Still, I hope Naru comes to play once. We have a big dog in our house. It’s a silver retriever.”
“Ow, shack! puppy! I want to go to Hergé’s house to play!”
Naru was amazed.
Cecily, who was watching this, said with a snort,
“We have a cat in our house. Two of them.”
“cat! It’s awesome! If I go to Cecily’s house today, can I see her?”
“I guess.”
Cecily stretched her chest triumphantly.
Seeing Cecily like that, Elizabeth slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
“We also have a horse and carriage in our house.”
“Is that at Cecily’s house too?”
Cecily and Elizabeth had a competitive spirit.
Because bragging about what they had in front of Naru felt like a great honor or a game.
Naru asked the girls who had been raising their self-esteem for a long time.
“Then do you guys have chocolate too?”
At Naru’s question, Cecily and Elizabeth looked at each other.
Then he shook his head.
“no.”
“doesn’t exist.”
“There is Naru! Let’s share!”
It was Naru who shared the chocolate her father gave her.
Soon, ding-dong-dang-dong—the bell started ringing and the children rushed into the classroom.
“Naruya, I’ll buy you pizza bread today.”
Elizabeth said to Naru.
Naru said, “Ow, shh… ! The pizza bread I ate in my dream… !” and liked it very much.
Elizabeth thought that Naru was a very interesting friend.
Of course, the expressions on the faces of the other children watching them were quite serious.
“That Elizabeth is buying bread for Naru.”
“Is Naru forcibly harassing you? It wasn’t enough that he was trying to frame him for stealing, so he even ran errands for bread.”
“… wow, scary kid Tywin, what do you think?”
“I don’t know. I don’t even want to bother with idiots like that.”
drooling-.
The classroom door opened and the teacher entered.
Salome was pretty as always, but the shadows under her eyes made it seem like she hadn’t slept well.
“Everyone be quiet. I can hear you talking all the way to the hallway. We have an outdoor class today, so everyone please come outside. We will see the animals in the kennels on campus.”
“animal! Naru, I like animals!”
“Okay, so be quiet.”
Salome looked at Naru and clicked her tongue.
A girl who should be the world’s greatest thief barely likes animals.
‘Looking at Yuda’s form yesterday, stealing the naru didn’t seem impossible. But the wizard Brigitte is a formidable foe. How the hell did you ignore the scorpion venom?’
Salome recalled the laboratory she had broken into last night.
It was a light greeting and a quick check on the other person’s skills.

Judas’ skills were worse than expected, and the danger of wizard Brigitte was higher than expected.
‘Should I ask Tenebris to help kidnap Naru? Come to think of it, I heard that the girl in the entertainment district specializes in kidnapping women.’
The servants of Nocturne, the god of darkness, were pictured in Salome’s mind. Should I ask them for help——I thought for a moment, and Salome shook her head.
‘No, that whore’s way too messy. The ends of the kidnapped girls are all miserable. If he sees Naru, he will definitely be interested.’
In Salome’s opinion, Naru’s talent was great.
It was a talent for crime.
If they saw Naru like that, it was obvious that everyone would think, ‘Doesn’t he deserve to be my successor?’
‘… You’d better not tell them about Naru for now. There’s nothing good about being entangled. Let’s leave Naru attending the academy for the time being.’
Rurr-.
Soon, all the children left the classroom.
Outdoor class on a sunny spring day.
“Naru, I’m going to find an animal!”
Naruto is already starting to look forward to finding a good animal to be his friend.
“I’d love a baby dragon!”
I thought that in order not to lose to Elizabeth’s retriever or Cecily’s cat, I had to be at least for kittens. Of course, Cecily shook her head.
“Naruya, there are no dragons in Freesia. At least there are lizards.”
“hehehehe… !”
