“Miss Sian manages the upper ranks as if she were not five years old.”

Genius……

“Even now, at the age of ten, she has tremendous growth potential. She will do well at the academy.”

Certainly, she was a child smarter than anyone else. Rather than being of the same age, she felt mature like an adult.

‘As expected, my daughter is cute.’

He opened the door, trying to hide his proud feelings. Behind the door, Leonhardt and Acid, who had been called in advance, were sitting tensely.

“You probably know why I called you here today.”

“Yes?”

“I-I don’t know. More importantly, why are you smiling so maliciously?”

Matthias widened his eyes slightly at Leonhardt’s words.

He had no intention of smiling maliciously, but to Leonhardt, it seemed inappropriate.

‘Sian liked my naive smile.’

He stared at Leonhardt and Acid, trying to spread a frown. Today, he came here not to intimidate someone, but to ask a favor from Sian’s friend.

Then, Acid and Leonhardt looked at each other, their expressions more puzzled. Matthias looked at the two little beasts and spoke casually.

“I’m going to give you two a good opportunity.”

“…Yes?”

“F-For what reason…….?”

Matthias looked at the small predators in front of him, raised his eyebrows beautifully, and said.

“I have something to tell you two.”

“…What is it.”

“Are you sure…….?”

Matthias smiled, raising the corner of his mouth gracefully.

“Both of you are going to an academy.”

“An academy?”

Their faces were full of surprise. Matthias nodded in response to Leonhardt’s flustered expression.

“Yes, an academy.”

“Well…….?”

At that moment, Acid cautiously spoke up.

“Is Miss Sian going too?”

“It seems you haven’t received the message yet… You two are going to be her bodyguards.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Acid and Leonhardt both widened their eyes simultaneously. Acid, who seemed to be less confused, nodded with his hands clasped, while Leonhardt, who was more surprised, shouted, “Yes, we’ll go!”
What kind of existence is my little daughter to these kids? Leonhardt and Acid were boys with dark pasts. It felt strangely good and bad to have them naturally by Sian’s side, drawn by her sunshine-like human charm.

It was uncomfortable to realize that Sian wasn’t only precious to him, and he felt subtly pleased about the positive influence his little daughter had on other people’s lives.

‘Our baby is forming human relationships other than with me.’

He whispered, his expression wrinkling like when looking at the dazzling sunlight.

“What you’re going to do there is one thing: protect Sian.”

“We’re confident!”

“Cooperate so that Sian can have a pleasant life.”

Acid nodded.

“Of course, we’ll cooperate.”

“But there’s a small problem. The academy has an entrance exam in February.”

Counting the months with fingers, Leonhardt coughed softly, seeming to swallow a short sigh.

“Ah, the admission period has long passed!”

“Yeah.”

“Then, how can we enter the academy?”

Matthias raised an eyebrow. His expression, with only the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looked more like that of an ordinary, severely wind-beaten dad than a notorious villain.

Leonhardt was visibly struggling with his always unaccustomed appearance.

Matthias reached into his arms and pulled out a document.

Incongruously, the document in his hand was a clean sheet of paper containing information such as the academy’s admission form, schedule, and class hours.

“Midterm admission.”

“What is midterm admission?”

Not knowing about academy midterm admissions, Leonhardt and Acid tilted their heads. Matthias cynically chuckled and said,

“Just as it sounds. Instead of formally entering the academy, you make a donation and enter midway.”

“It’s a concept like donation-based admission.”

“Yeah. I heard that there are heavy taxes for those who enter mid-term.”

“……. ”

“I plan to send you three to the academy through donation-based admission.”

“Then……. ”

The white document in his hand fluttered.

“Cooperate so that Sian can play happily at the academy.”

While Sian made friends and played happily, Matthias intended to eliminate all the nuisances of the family for Sian’s happy time.

“Ah, and there’s one more thing you need to do there.”

“……Yes.”

Leonhardt and Acid stared at Matthias with a tense expression.

“No one should let Sian know about my notoriety.”

At that moment, Acid, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Protecting Miss Sian’s innocence?”

At the mention of innocence, Matthias’s mouth lifted as if drawn.

“Yeah, innocence.”

“Phew! Dad again!”

The next morning, inside the carriage.

Sitting comfortably in the plush carriage, I let out a sigh.

“…Huh?”

The muscular maid sister gave me a faint smile. Holding a hand tool, I confidently said,

“He contacted again! The carriage to the academy hasn’t even started yet!”

It wasn’t even about attending a boarding school; it was just a matter of going to and from school.

But seeing Dad, who kept worrying like a fanatic parent, I was worried that he might turn into a helicopter parent later.

‘Is our dad going to be a helicopter parent?’

The thought that it might actually happen gave me a shiver.

“What…?”

“Why are you looking at me like that, sister? You look like you just peed yourself!”

It seemed not because she had actually peed, but she appeared to be shaking in fear. I stared fixedly at Deadly Sister and raised my head, smiling. Then she made a crying face and whispered,

“I haven’t peed yet….”

Hugging Deadly Sister’s shoulders, Bench Sister raised her head, teary-eyed. If I just said, ‘Dad keeps contacting! Anyway, he’s a bundle of worries!’ and saw her breaking into a cold sweat, it felt like there was something definite.
