Chapter 311 - Intermission (The Future Deluding Kunoichi)
「I don't want Sasuke and Sakura to attend the Academy.」
「I understand that you have mixed feelings about the Academy. But, I think the title of Academy Graduate will be useful no matter what path they take in the future.」
「Well, you should think about such things after these two are older. I dropped out of the Academy after all.」
「But, rather than regretting it, saying 'if only I had gone to the academy back then...' when you're older...」
After ten years of marriage, the conversation between husband and wife was centered on their beloved children.
「Hey, Sasuke, and Sakura. Do you two have any dreams for the future?」
「A strong, cool adult like father!」
「Daddy's, wife. And, a florist!」
Personally, I want my children to go on to the Imperial Warrior Academy so that they can have a better future.
Although I graduated from Japone's Ninja Academy at the top of my class, I had the bitter experience of discovering the difficulty of being a Ninja Warrior. However, it was a stroke of luck that I was able to leave the country and meet my beloved Honey, but... Anyway, I want my children to have the title of Imperial Warrior Academy graduate, which will be useful to them no matter where they go in the world or what path they take.
「You know? We don't need to think about all the academy-like competition just yet, do we?」
Honey, on the other hand, doesn't care about such things. The children can continue on the normal path. He just hopes that they grow up to be energetic, kind to others, and with the guts to make an effort on top of that.
Of course, I agree with that.
But there are other things too...
「That's true, but... the neighbors are already preparing for the entrance exam war, by sending them to cram school, right? The sooner you prepare for war, the better. Otherwise, when the time comes to fight, you can't fight because you were unprepared.」
My thoughts and Honey's thoughts end up clashing...
...... or so I think.
"...... I wonder if it will go something like this. Honey seems to spoil the children tremendously for some reason..."
And not only of happiness, but this fantasy is also of a husband and wife bickering about the future of their children together ... it's a dream...no, it's a simulation of a happy family plan.
Fantasy Magic, [Vier], an illusory spell taught to us by the Dragon King of Hades, Vasalar. It's really amazing.
Perhaps because magic and ninjutsu have the same roots, even I, who had never studied magic, was able to activate it in this way.
This will allow me to take measures against any marital problems that may arise in the future.
Of course, there's still no guarantee that Honey will choose me over Kron-san or Sadiz-san, or that I'll be able to make him like me.
But my ambition isn't to make Honey like me more than either of them. After all, all this is just a hypothetical.
My ambition is to build a happy family. And to make Honey and our children feel happy.
In building that happiness, there may be bumps along the way, so I do image training for those times.
Yes, a married couple is not just a couple that makes out.
When Honey comes home from work, I greet him in a naked apron, and as I turn my back to go to the kitchen, Honey comes from behind me and I go... An ♡... and all night long we have an endurance child-making festival and all that kind of thing. Of course, if that's the case, I'll take it on with a bang, but...
Anyway, sometimes couples need to feel free to disagree with each other.
"It's just... there's something that I can't predict at this point in time... what kind of job Honey himself will take in the future... from what I've heard of Honey's past, he may never go back to the Empire again or become an Imperial Warrior..."
In that case, no matter how much I think it would be better for my children to graduate from the Imperial Academy, Honey may still be reluctant, and the place where we will live in the future may not be the Empire in the first place.
"Living in Japone with Honey wouldn't be a bad idea... it's just, as a runaway ninja, I'm not sure how I would be seen... Koujiro-sama might welcome me with a smile, though..."
In this way, I was able to recreate in my dreams what I had been thinking only in my head, and as a result, I was even more worried about the future.
I wonder if this is what they call 'Wedding Blues'?
"Better yet, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea for our family to become Adventurers or Hunters and raise the children while traveling the world... un? Ooh? ...... Hmm..."
I couldn't get my thoughts together, so I suddenly opened up again and said what came to mind... But as for that......
"Okay... maybe!"
Surprisingly, I didn't think it was too bad.
"In fact, Honey won't be rooted in one place for long, he'll be going around the world... but raising children while traveling... well, on the contrary, it's a great way to give them a variety of experiences. Besides, it might be better for me and Honey to give them knowledge about how to study and fight than to send them to the Academy. Honey seems to be good at teaching people... as far as I've heard from listening to Mortriage-kun and his friends..."
I'm a little concerned that it might be a bit risky and that our income might not be stable, but it's still a viable option for me in the future.
"Raising young children while traveling... I wonder...... I could be very happy. What would Honey think of that idea? Will he approve?"
Okay, so I'll have to simulate that right away... and not really!
"If I'm going to live that kind of life... I can't drag my feet in that life... after all, I really need to improve myself. It's not just about the future, but also about improving myself now..."
Yes, it's not just about simulations, but I will also have to step up to the plate and improve my level in preparation for the coming future.
Let's put aside the time for happy worries...
"First of all, Phianse-hime... Nii-san...... and Honey, who defeated me when we first met in the forest... let's fight! After that, I will face the current Honey, Paripi, Koujiro-sama and the others through image training!"
For the sake of the future, I will certainly dedicate myself to standing next to Honey.
Wait for me, Honey... no, you. And our dear children.
