[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

"My daughter of course," she was so certain of it because her daughter, although normally kept away from people other than family and tutors, was smart and usually looked after those around her. The other, on the other hand, was a little more selfish. But still, she was glad that they didn't come out like the two experiments playing quiet time in the other room. She would have been bald from pulling out her hair if they had grown up to be like the two experiments, "I have no problems with her becoming an elder now."

Nobuo was frozen, the words echoed in his mind. It was true, the way he was now must have been highly disappointing to everyone, and he felt like crawling into a hole and never coming out. Fumiko's words had little effect on him when he knew that he would be placed in the spot of an elder soon. Soon, he moved, walking out of the temple as if he knew where he was going, and down the steps.
