"If there's anything we can do, you can tell me."

That's what Lady Joan said when I tried to leave the room.

Something I can do...?

Ah! That's right!

How could I have forgotten?

"Please admit a boy named Jill from a poor village to the School of Magic with me."

Everyone but me solidified.

That said, I didn't say I was still in a poor village.

"Poor village!?

"Alicia! Are you going there?

Father, don't look so horrible. Smiles look best on you.

Besides, ladies and gentlemen, don't look at me like that. It's like I've sinned.

"Only at night."

I'm not scared of this place. Because she's a bad girl.

"At night?

"Because it's safer at night."

"Well, you've been there at noon."

Oh, me, maybe I'm digging my own grave?

But there's no reason to be mad at me.

'Cause there's nothing by law you shouldn't go to a poor village.

"Father, I don't know why I can blame you."

I said that by stretching my spine and staring at your father.

"A boy named Jill is now nine years old, but he's smarter than me."

Yeah, Jill's really smart.

I'll never forget what I remembered once, and most importantly, I have a great idea.

He can definitely be at the top of the country.

"Do you remember I told His Majesty the King before that poor village is a terrible situation"

"Oh."

"At that time I still didn't know the real poor village. Because I've never been there before. So I went to a poor village to find out what's going on."

I see the king blinked a little. I kept talking.

"The actual poor village was many times worse than what I read in the book. Hell, yeah. People are all poor, and they don't know if they're dead or alive."

Everyone shut their mouths to my words. Your father doesn't look angry anymore either.

"A boy named Jill is like a boy whose parents were killed and who had even lost hope of living. When I first saw him, he was treated like a rag that I no longer needed. A man with a big body beating a five-year-old boy with an iron stick."

"So..., what happened?

Derek said with a spicy look on his face.

"He wandered through life and death and eventually chose to live. He will always be a man who can take charge of his country. Get him out of the poor village."

I appealed desperately to the king.

I promised you I'd take you to the light stage.

It's disqualification for a bad girl to fail to keep her word.

The king sighed small with a wrinkle between his brows.

I think Alicia's assistant can handle it.

"That's enough."

I answered instantly.

"Let's do something about it"

"Thank you."

I bowed deeply.

Maybe I should ask for Uncle Will too...

But I wonder if Grandpa Will really wants to leave the impoverished village.

Let's hear it next time.

"Alicia, how did you get to the poor village?

Your father looks at my face strangely.

You shouldn't say this yet, should you?

"That's a secret."

I laughed nicely.

Your father looks disgusted.

When I saw your father's face, I realized I'd forgotten something.

Yeah, I haven't heard that one yet.

I'm going to magic school now, so you can ask me, right?

"Father, may I ask you one last thing?"

"What?

"How could I not take a sword level test?

Your father smiled gently as soon as he solidified a little.

I knew I'd rather be laughing than angry.

"'Cause the ants were so awesome."

... I'm not convinced for some reason, but let's just say I was praised.
