171 171, Curse and Infinite Streams

I don't have my father and brother Odie for dinner tonight.

Plus my brother and sister are going somewhere to visit.

Hence my mother and Chiara.

I wish Marie ate with me.

I tried to tell my mother the situation.

Especially about Alec.

"I don't know what to say... Master Albertine has thought it through. I wonder if I've noticed how awesome Curse is. What do you want Curse to do? Are you getting engaged to Alex?

"Hmm, that feels fast. I do like it, but I don't think you want to think about marriage or engagement yet. You're opposed to the Knight Chief in the first place.

"Right. It's best to like it. Then the path after graduation is lost. If you want to build your body, there are ways to become an endless apprentice like Master Fernando.

"Ah, that's good. It would be great if you could be strong like a teacher, wouldn't it? That's what's going to make me definitely stronger to start early. But I don't want to go to King's Capital. You're lost."

"Good news for Curse like that. Mr. Fernando's teacher, Mr. Copen-Ackerman, is here in Kutanutsu.

Holy shit!!

That's big news!

"Is that a trip or something?

"No, they're giving up the Dojo of the King's Capital to their disciples to open a dojo with very small retirements in this kuttanut. About six months from now.

"Wow! So you can apprentice!? I knew there was an exam or something!?

I'm getting excited.

I would love to learn if my teacher is going to open a dojo even though I'm not going to stand up for it with swordsmanship!

But I guess it's tough.

"If a lot of people push it, it'll be an exam, right? I don't think the teacher will take a lot of apprentices because he's almost retired, either.

"Decided! Enter Dr. Ackerman's dojo! All right, it's burning! I'll do my best to pass the exam tomorrow!

"Ugh, good luck. I'm sure Alan would love that.

Oh, no. I didn't know I'd choose this path.

You have no choice, because Dr. Fernando is so cool. If that's what you can do, then yeah, you want to do it.

Starting tomorrow, I'll talk to you, too, and ask you to put on an archery.

"By the way, it's six months after we open the dojo, which means when can the teacher come? I knew you could come by carriage, right?

"I don't know that. Maybe six months after arrival. I think it's a carriage because your wife is with you.

"Oh well, I'm looking forward to it! I wonder what he's like. Has your mother ever met you?

"Just a little bit. Could it have been before Alan and I got married yet? I was touring the dojo. That was amazing. What Alan and Fernando had no hands or feet at the time.

"Wow! I'm dying to get started! I'll start tomorrow!

From now on, don't rely on gold manipulation to build your body!

Especially your ankles. We can all play wolf again!

It's burning! My youth is coming!
