Chapter 99: Glutinous Rice Goes to School

Chapter 99 Nuomi Guo is going to school

Chen Yan told Ogami some things he knew.

[The third demihuman uncle of the Diploma class], [Sublimation Ritual], [The Undead], and [The Corner Girl with Abnormal Blood].

After talking for more than an hour, Ogami was in a state of short-circuit in her brain.

After calming down for ten minutes, Ogami slapped her thigh.

"Naruto!" (That's it!)

Ogami's eyes became firmer, she stood on the spot and bowed.

"Lord Landlord, thank you very much!"

Chen Yan thought about Ogami's feat yesterday afternoon and said after careful consideration:

"No matter what, you have to be more careful... There will be an election soon, and Yanan City may have stricter management than before."

Ogami smiled: "I am not what the landlady imagined."

Huh……

Ogami knows what I think?

Chen Yan opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He can't just say, 'Ogami, don't go out and kill people. Although extraordinary people are not good people, they are not heinous bastards. Weird people like Claude Moon also have to go to work to make money to support their families.

It's hard work to beat the workers.'

Ogami blinked, as if she understood Chen Yan's thoughts, and said to him:

"Using force is always just a means. Lord Landlady, although I live for killing, I don't like to kill people with immortal executions."

Chen Yan didn't quite understand this sentence, but he could only tell from it that Ogami's katana was called [Immortal Slash].

"I just want to [cut off the immortal], not kill people."

Ogami said seriously:

"[Immortality] is wrong. Landlady, any form of [immortality] is the ultimate curse to mankind."

He looked at the confusion on Chen Yan's face and said more seriously:

"One day, you will understand what I have done."

Chen Yan was silent.

Many years later, facing the undead at the end of the evolution of carbon-based life, the second generation [Scholar of Original Sin] Chen Yan will recall the distant afternoon when Ogami told him the meaning of [cutting off immortality]:

As dusk fell, the whine of the steam bus entered the room through the glass, and the heating rising from under the floor warmed his limbs. Ogami took off his khaki cotton jacket, with a calm expression on his face that he had never seen before.

, half of his face was illuminated by the setting sun.

Chen Yan listened to his words and looked at his bone prosthetic hand. For a moment, he felt that he could smell the blood on it for no reason.

Some imaginary pictures appeared in his mind:

A ninja dressed in rags, relying on the hooks fired from his bone prosthetic hands, wandered between the cliffs and the snowy sky.

Not far away are the burning cherry blossom trees, the glutinous rice fruits imprisoned in the solitary building, and the immortal enemies scattered all over the land.



Ogami regards "Destroying Immortality" as his mission, so he must have come to the empire for the purpose of "Destroying Immortality".

What has he experienced before? So that he has such great hostility towards the [immortal] existence.

Or perhaps, the "immortality" Ogami talks about is not simply "not dying".

Chen Yan had a strong intuition that what Ogami said about "immortality" must have a deeper meaning.

"Lord Landlady, Ogami, it's time for dinner!" Nuomiguo's cry interrupted Chen Yan's meditation.

When he came to the dining room connected to the kitchen, there was already a plate of dinner on the table - mint soup, roasted potatoes, bacon with cheese sauce sandwiched in toasted golden bread, which looked very appetizing.

The heat and portion of each portion of the food were just right, and Nuomiguo obviously quickly adapted to making imperial-style meals.

The three of them sat around the dining table and prepared to eat dinner, but the glutinous rice cake didn't move their forks immediately.

"I decided to go to school."

Nuomiguo told the news and successfully surprised Chen Yan and Ogami.

"Go to school? Where?"

There is nothing wrong with going to school.

Chen Yan held back what was in his heart.

But you don't have imperial status and can't go to public schools.

If you go to a private school, you will have to bear high education costs.

Where did you get the money?

It couldn't be the money Ogami robbed!

If you have money, why don't you pay the rent first?

Chen Yan subconsciously looked at Ogami.

Ogami raised her face from the baked potato plate and responded to Chen Yan with innocent eyes.

Chen Yan looked at Nuomi Guo.

"It's a free school!"

As soon as she said these words, Chen Yan's face suddenly became hot.

Nuomi Guo's eyes were shining, as if she had a different kind of desire to go to school.

"It is a church school of the Choir. It is open to any child under the age of 15 free of charge and provides two meals a day, but it requires work-study."

"There is no specific academic system. As long as you complete the credits and graduate, you can directly attend public high schools in the empire with your diploma."

Chen Yan and Ogami looked at each other.

Chen Yan had a bad premonition in his heart: "How...how did you know about the church school?"

Nuomi Guo replied in a very calm tone: "This morning, I went out after patrolling the street police station."

So that's it... Chen Yan felt relieved.

Nuomi Guo looked back and forth between Chen Yan and Ou Gami with expectant eyes - those were not eyes to "ask for consent", but to get their approval - their approval for her going to school.

For Nuomiguo, this seems to be a very important thing.

Chen Yan took a bite of the baked potato, swallowed it hard, calmed down, and said:

"It's good to go to school...but I heard that the church school of the Choir has some compulsory courses, which are courses on how to be loyal to gods. The brainwashing is very powerful, and it can even cultivate some fanatical believers."

Nuomiguo obviously understood the meaning of "brainwashing" and said seriously: "For me, that's not a problem. I just need a diploma from a church school."

Chen Yan nodded: "What does a work-study program look like? You must know that the empire does not prohibit underage child labor from participating in high-intensity labor."

Nuomiguo replied: "The specific division of labor varies, including cleaning, making communion, supporting relief stations and porridge sheds...there are many different types of work, and it depends on the schedule of the month."

Chen Yan warned: "Is there no limit on working hours? The empire has never had a tradition of treating workers as human beings, so most jobs have very strict requirements on working hours."

This really confused Nuomi Guo.

"This...I really don't know anything about it in detail."

Chen Yan calculated with his fingers:

"Just like the work at the relief station. The main job of the relief station is to distribute food to the poor. They usually have to be busy all day in the lower city. It is not until the workers on the night shift complete their shift that the people at the relief station can go back to sleep -

After all the shift workers in the factory go to work, that is around 9 p.m.

At 9 o'clock in the evening in the Empire, you have also experienced how cold it is outside.

That’s too tiring and physically damaging.”

Chen Yan looked at Nuomiguo's thin body covered by his robe, and held back the second half of his sentence - you are still young and your development is not complete. If you suffer from any disease due to work...
Chapter completed!
