Agrippina did not finish what she said next.

But Ian already knew what she was trying to say.

Although Agrippina, as a mother, admitted her theory that "God will give you a mission and your life will be sharpened", it is not easy for others to be convinced by this.

After all, the fact of difficult labor is there.

Such a blunt explanation will only make people laugh.

but--

Ian had already thought of this.

In other words, as a teacher, he knows very well how to convince others and make them accept his theories.

"Ma'am, please rest assured." A wise light flashed in the man's eyes.

"There will soon be enough examples to prove this."

[You have never been the kind of person who speaks without thinking.]

You do have to prove it—but not by accident.

【You have your own ideas ready. 】

[That is to make the matter of "difficult birth" be completely diluted in another way, and then replaced. ]

[You disguised yourself and secretly bribed a lot of people with gold coins, asking them to spread a series of "difficult birth" incidents for you.]

[Invariably, the result of these incidents was that the child died during childbirth.]

【In this way, Lucius's experience is no longer an isolated case.】

[After everyone reluctantly agreed with this statement, you began to spread the following remarks - that is, to make Lucius's survival an act of "obeying God's will."]

【Through your efforts and the atmosphere you created earlier, this kind of thing was accomplished quickly. 】

[In Ubiolum, no one said her birth was a sin anymore.]

[Out of gratitude to you, when Lucius was one year old, Agrippina made you her official teacher.]

[A year later, Agrippina's husband died of illness, and she soon remarried to a wealthy local in Ubiolum.]

[Your life has also been greatly improved, and Lucius also changed his name to Nero at this time, indicating a complete break with his past miserable background. ]

【When he was seven years old, you began Nero's formal education. 】

【But she didn’t seem to appreciate it. 】

"That's all for today."

Ian closed the book in his hand, then looked at little Nero who was yawning with his hands covering his mouth, looking a little helpless.

"Nero."

"You've been like this several times today - is the teacher's class too boring?"

"Hmm~" The young Nero nodded and answered the teacher's question honestly.

"Mr. Seneca, I feel like these things you're saying don't make any sense to me, do they?"

"how come?"

The man walked in front of little Nero and squatted down so that his eyes were at the same height as hers.

"This is the etiquette standard for ladies from noble families."

"Nero - a girl of your background should learn it well."

"Who said that?!" Little Nero responded very unhappily.

"It's too much to come up with so many meaningless regulations to restrict just me!"

"Hmm! That guy must be a huge idiot!"

Ian laughed as he looked at little Nero with her puffy cheeks - she seemed totally unaware that she looked so cute.

And the man is not a pedantic teacher who is inflexible and only knows how to instill ideas.

A child's thinking should not be constrained, that is the freedom she should get at this time.

"it is good."

In front of Nero, the man threw the book in his hand aside to show his attitude.

Slap it.

The thick book hit the ground with a dull sound.

All of this was seen by the young Nero.

Surprised, she looked at the book that the teacher threw aside and asked.

"Teacher! What are you doing?!"

"Nothing." Ian answered very seriously, "Since what I'm teaching now doesn't interest you, it means there must be something wrong with my method."

"Nero."

"Tell me what you really think. Let the teacher adjust the subsequent plan based on it."

"..."

Little Nero probably didn't expect his teacher to be so reasonable.

But her reaction speed was indeed very fast, and she immediately realized that this was an opportunity that could be exploited.

"Hmm~ It's not impossible to tell you!"

"but--"

"In exchange, shouldn't the teacher also give me something in exchange for listening to my ideas?"

"..."

[This is a naked equal exchange, but you didn't argue with your student Nero.]

【What's more, you think this is a manifestation of her great wit. 】

【At the same time, you feel that her inner thoughts may be far more profound than you imagined. 】

This is clearly a request worth agreeing to.

【You decide to agree. 】

"Well, that does sound like a good deal."

"so--"

Ian, the teacher, reached out and rubbed little Nero's head.

"What conditions do you want the teacher to give in exchange for your idea?"

"Hmm~ It's very simple."

Little Nero, who was being touched on the head, raised his head proudly, then reached out and gently patted his teacher's shoulder, as if he and the other person were the same age.

"teacher--!"

"You can understand this idea if I ride you for a day~"

[You never expected that little Nero would ask you something like this.]

[This is a very shameless behavior. Most people would probably be very angry if they heard it.]

【But as little Nero's teacher, you have a completely different view on this. 】

[You think she must have thought of something to say this.]

【You decide to ask her what she thinks. 】

"It sounds okay." Ian tried his best to maintain his respect for the little guy in front of him.

"but--"

The man asked with a smile, meeting little Nero's piercing eyes.

"You should at least tell the teacher why you want to do this, right?"

"Otherwise, I'd be troubled by it."

This method of equal communication was very useful to Nero.

The cute little guy just put his hands on his waist and began to explain his thoughts.

"Umm, teacher."

"Look—you're the most popular person in Ubiolum."

"If I can ride on you and go out for fun, wouldn't that be like telling others that you care about me?"

"If I do this, everyone will definitely respect me too!"

"..."

[Looking at little Nero's serious eyes, you realize that she is not joking. ]

[This seems to be a method she has come up with after careful consideration to quickly gain the respect of others.]

[For a moment you don’t know whether to call it vanity or intelligence. ]

[You can vaguely sense what she is thinking.]

【This is a question that must be clarified.】

"That seems to be the case." Ian did not immediately deny the idea of ​​his student Nero.

"But if you really ride it, it will be difficult for the teacher."

"How about this--"

The man leaned close to little Nero's ear and whispered his thoughts to her.

"What do you think of this?"

"Oh, okay, okay!" Little Nero nodded repeatedly.

【You chose a compromise. 】

[You decide to fulfill little Nero's wish, but it can't be so extreme. ]

You decide to let her ride on your shoulders like a warhorse.

[And because she was still young, this scene didn't look that bad. ]

【Moreover, it is a warm feeling. 】

On the streets of Ubiolum.

Ian was strolling around with little Nero.

She looked very excited as she had finally managed to get out, and kept directing the teachers "under her" to run around.

"Seneca, this way!"

"Seneca, over there!"

Little Nero waved his fingers in the air like a baton giving orders.

"You really want to go everywhere." Ian couldn't help but say this.

“Of course—!”

Young Nero agreed with this statement without hesitation.

"It's not easy for me to come out once, so of course I have to look around more!"

"you……"

Ian wanted to lecture little Nero about this idea as a teacher, but after thinking about it, he finally held back.

After all, I am not here to teach her, but to find out what she is thinking.

"Okay, what you said does make sense."
