Guardian [Part 1]

“THAT’S GREAAAATTTTTT!”

Emma joyfully exclaimed upon hearing about the extracurricular lesson from George and William after they came home.

“Father, I want to go too! I want to see monsters from another territory!”Ne/w novel chapters are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

“But Emma? You are currently on a break from school... Isn’t it better to stay quietly at home...”

Even though Leonard faltered in front of Emma, who was deliberately acting cute coupled with pleading, he still tried to dissuade her.

“It’s exactly because I’m on a break, Father!”

“Meooow!”

“Oomew meow!”

“Meow meow!”

“Mew meoww!”

“See, Koumei-san and the cats say they want to go too!”

Leonard found himself at a loss when cornered by Emma and the cats, who were giving him upturned doe-eyed look.

“And we receive no budget from the country for that... The territory that receives the hunters has to bear all costs.”

Setting aside how it is now, we really had it rough because of that training during our poverty days. Emma recalled. From lodging and food to the medical fee needed when there was an injured participant and hunting equipment, all added up to quite a sum. Even though without having to hold the training, they already had a hard time surviving winter.

“Yeah, I remember. Especially, hunters from territories that aren’t facing the barrier are mostly spoiled second or third noble sons who are only good at studying, so teaching them is also a pain...”

Leonard’s expression darkened. They wouldn’t listen to him, and would instead sulk and cry after they got scolded, would also slip out of the lodging at night and cause trouble at pubs...

“ “ “ “(Uncle) Arban... Is he going to be alright?” ” ” ”

The four of them sighed all at once.

“That said, that’s also exactly why I think it’s important for academy students to take this extracurricular lesson. Only taking lessons in class is sometimes not enough when it comes to learning Monster Science and Practical Skill for Hunters...”

“Mew!”

“Meoow!”

“Meow!”

“Mew mew!”

“So... Can I go to the extracurricular lesson?”

Emma and the cats pleaded to Leonard again.
