But Nia, who had seen no friendly children other than Ivonne, still saw her peers in a negative light.

But according to His, she must get along well with such children.

Nia was afraid, looking at the children in front of her.

So many. How?

Nia’s small world was a reality where she no longer wanted to increase her known peers.

So it was good. Since mom said she doesn’t have to go…

Then, at that moment,

“Ah, now that she’s going to kindergarten, it seems like she’ll live. Our child is so lively, you know.”

“Yes, that’s right. We have 3 boys, and it feels like the floor will break if they run around even a little. I think I couldn’t have raised them if I hadn’t sent them here~! Hohoho!”

“…!!!!”

The child’s pupils grew large enough that the whites of her eyes were visible, as if shocked.

And, as if realizing something, her eyes busied.

‘…It’s that!?’

Can’t raise her. If she doesn’t attend here, they can’t raise her!

In Nia’s trembling pupils, Lucia’s tired face from afar was reflected.

Apparently, right before the interview, the cancellation was not done properly.

“Ah, it was hard to do. Let’s stop by for a moment and go. I’ll go straight to the dormitory, so don’t worry…”

“Nia wants!!! To go!! To kindergarten!!!!”

All of Nia’s fears in front of her were very, very easy compared to leaving Lucia’s side.

The urgent courage of a child who had been huddled up until now resonated throughout the waiting room.

It was enough to make the children who were hurriedly preparing for the interview drop the papers they were holding.

“Oh my, look at that child. She’s extraordinary. My child was scolded for not wanting to go and is just memorizing now.”

“That’s right. How strange, I like such a soft child. The parents must be happy!”

The two ladies, inspired by Nia’s passion, began to praise the child for a long time.

“It’s such a beautiful mother and daughter outing. I’m envious, having only a son. Hoho.”

It was the Principal Norjia’s lively voice.

However, unlike the comfortable atmosphere of the principal, Lucia was uncomfortable here because of a strange woman who was sweating behind her, covering her face.

‘She’s surely a teacher of my age from the academy…’

She couldn’t see the face, but even if she had seen it, she would not have remembered it.

Although the time had passed, the academy days for Lucia were just a place she had gone to due to her family’s wishes, a place she didn’t remember specifically.

She merely wished that if the child attended here, that strange woman would not be in charge.

Perhaps noticing such discomfort.

The principal spoke with a smile.

“Miss Emily, if you have urgent business, you can leave.”

“He… Yes!!! Yes, Principal!! Thank you!!!”
Emily left the room, spilling the handout she had been holding, as soon as the principal finished speaking.

No, more precisely, she had run out.

‘……The principal doesn’t seem like that. Here. Is it more authoritative than I thought? I need to watch more.’

Even if the child wants to attend, this is an interview to see each other.

If it’s not a suitable place to send the child, Lucia, who would be first over Nia, had already decided not to send her right away, as she had decided.

“Does Nia have a reason for wanting to come here?”

“…….”

Despite her strong determination, Nia was intimidated by the stranger’s question and tightly clutched her dress.

Then she thought hard for a reason, but Nia, who could only think of wanting to be by her mother’s side, kept her mouth shut.

Norjia calmly looked at the silent child.

Lucia, who was watching her, thought.

I don’t know what the system here is like, but she was no different from the image in the book she read last night.

Not just superficial knowledge but a child’s bowel issues, how to comfort a child with an upset stomach, skin diseases to be careful of by region, etc.

While other parenting books only described the graceful appearance of a swan on water, she seemed to have gathered and written about the hard paddling underneath.

So what she put in, thinking that they were really needed, was guessed to be quite simple in action, unlike the young and flashy appearance in the book.

But more than that, was this really that difficult interview?

Despite being told by Gilliana that it was an unclear and difficult interview, the questions were all just jokes asking how things were.

Then,

Norjia spoke with a slightly playful smile.

“Nia doesn’t want to come here, does she?”

“……!”

Nia shook her head quickly as if she was shaken, but the principal was firm.

Lucia was a little surprised because even to her eyes, the child’s reaction seemed to have been caught lying.

Then why on earth did the child want to come here herself?

She wanted to ask right away, but seeing Norjia’s facial expression, she decided to wait.

The principal again asked with a smile.

“Does Nia have any friends?”

“……Ivanne.”

Whether the baby wild boar had already had its turn or not, Principal Norjia laughed heartily as if she understood.
