I Raised the Villains Preciously - Chapter 10.1

“Now, shall we go into the bookstore?”

 

Hannah looked around her to go to the bookstore with Ian, but he was already inside the bookstore.

 

Jeremy replied instead.

 

“I think we’ve already picked everything out.”

 

Ian was already waiting in front of the cashier for the book he wanted, while Marsha picked the skull.

 

“That’s a good thing.”

 

Hannah admired his quick action.

 

He said he didn’t need anything.

 

Hannah laughed at how his words and actions were different.

 

Then, she quickly went to the bookstore and calculated the book in there.

 

“What kind of book is that, Ian?”

 

Looking at the book in Ian’s arms, I asked.

 

“It’s a book about the war four hundred years ago.”

 

“Well, ·····.”

 

Doesn’t kids like fairy tales?

 

Oh, is that like Greek and Roman mythology?

 

Well, since there’s no astronaut beating x-bot, is war similar?

 

Hannah was trying to understand the children.

 

“Teacher! That black sword! Sword!”

 

Jeremy thought it was finally his turn.

 

“You know, we can pick toy knives.”

 

“I really want it!”

 

He seemed to want the sword of the thugs from the previous incident.

 

Why did you have to see that in there?

 

“But Jeremy, that’s too dangerous. Let’s play with it when you grow up a little more.”

 

“I won’t buy anything else!”

 

Jeremy’s mouth pouted.

 

“Jeremy.”

 

Hannah called, but Jeremy turned his head away from her.

 

“It’s dangerous. I’ll buy you toys. Huh?”

 

“No!”

 

“Listen carefully. Jeremy, pirates are more likely to drown in the sea, and wizards die by magic. What’s killing a prosecutor? You’re going to be stabbed to death! It would be painful!”

 

Hannah said with a scared look on her face, but it didn’t work for Jeremy.

 

“What about you, then?”

 

“Huh? Huh?”

 

“How would you die?”

 

The villains’ nursery teacher is gonna die at the hands of the villains. No! What am I even saying?

 

“It’s a safe job. Safe······.”

 

I felt unfair all of a sudden.

 

I’m not a pirate, not a wizard, not a prosecutor, but I’m risking my life.

 

“Oh, I don’t care! I won’t pick anything unless it’s a real sword!”

 

Jeremy thought that Hannah, who was weak at heart, would eventually buy him a sword if he threw a tantrum like this.

 

However, Hannah returned to the nursery without buying anything.

“It’s a pie made of raw cherries we bought at the market earlier. Guys!”

 

The number of children sitting around the table waiting for the pie was one short.

 

“What about Jeremy?”

 

“He must be upset. He’s not coming out of his room.”

 

The main character who was absent was Jeremy.

 

Hannah had a rough idea of the situation.

 

“Did you wash your hands?”

 

“Yes, yes!”

 

“Then eat first. I’ll get Jeremy.”

 

Hannah headed to Jeremy’s room with his share of the pie.

 

*knock, knock*

 

“Jeremy, it’s me.”

 

But there was no answer.

 

“Jeremy, I’m coming in okay?”

 

Hannah opened the door thinking Jeremy wasn’t sulking.

 

“······.”

 

“·······”

 

Jeremy hurriedly hid the cookies he was eating secretly under the bed when Hannah’s and his eyes met.

 

“······ Sorry.”

 

Let’s wait a little while and talk after he has hidden everything.….

 

Jeremy, who was caught sneaking a cookie, was also awkward when he got caught.

 

It was a moment when I was in vain that I was worried that I might be shedding tears and neither rice nor snacks.

 

Jeremy plopped down on the bed with cookies neatly underneath.

 

The protruding mouth was full of confectionery powder.

 

“Jeremy, are you upset about today?”

 

“No.”

 

He was advertising ‘I’m sulky’ in a stiff tone.

 

Hannah approached Jeremy and sat on the bed.

 

Then she tilted her head and made eye contact with Jeremy.

 

“Jeremy, I said it’s still dangerous for you.”

 

“I know.”

 

“Next time, if you have a teacher who can teach you the sword properly, I’ll buy it for you.”

 

“····· really?”

 

Jeremy wriggled his fingers and asked.

 

He is usually naughty and fierce, but at times like this, he was a cute little kid.

 

“Yes! I’ll buy you your first sword!”

 

In fact, Hannah and Jeremy knew how hard it was to get a sword teacher in a nursery.

 

“……promise it.”

 

“Come on. Promise.”

 

Hannah unfolded her pinky finger and put it in Jeremy’s hand.

 

Jeremy put his pinky on hers.

 

“You have to buy it for me.”

 

“Okay, okay. I’ll buy you a sword when you have a sword art teacher. Shall we go eat some pie now?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Jeremy jumped out of bed.

 

After that, he ran out of the room faster than Hannah.

 

It was obvious how much Jeremy, who was crazy about pie, wanted to eat pie.

 

“Cute.”

 

It was cute, but Hannah was very concerned about Jeremy’s interest in the sword.

 

“Come to think of it, didn’t you say you were cool when you saw the gangsters earlier, did you?”

 

It was a very worrying Jeremy.

 

I hope you haven’t noticed that the back alley fits your aptitude.

 

Hannah headed back to the restaurant along the corridor where Jeremy ran.

 

“Wow!”

 

As soon as Jeremy sat at the table, his eyes grew round with surprise.

 

“Huh, if you didn’t come, I’ll have eaten it all.”

 

Masha said coyly.

 

Jeremy, who held his pie plate with both hands, was looking at the pie for a long time.

 

Normally, the pie would have already been in his mouth and half of it gone.

 

“The teacher must have been very concerned about you.”

 

Masha was also looking at Jeremy’s pie.

 

“·······.”

 

Jeremy’s pie was decorated with dull, black cherries.

 

“……annoying.”

 

It was a blunt remark, but somehow Jeremy’s mouth was twitching.

 

Jeremy couldn’t take a bite for a long time, looking at the crooked sword-decorated pie.

 

It was because it was a waste to eat quickly.
