Growing pains
In the 68th year of the new calendar, the first Middlecherda.
State University of Meander.
The bell rings
In the wide auditorium, the small figure vigorously put the handouts on the podium in order, and then said in this soft and slightly warped tone.
"Then, this semester's class is over, and the exam will be in two weeks, so please pay attention to the review. If you don't understand anything, you can go to the library to find materials, and the teacher here will give you a special discount~~ If you encounter any problems in the paper, you can send me an email to ask. ”
Her long pale blue hair was tied back with a white ribbon tied into a bow, and a small sharp tiger tooth was slightly exposed when she spoke.
"You are no longer high school students, and the teacher will not supervise your studies, but if you fail the exam, you will have to retake it! As a teacher, I naturally don't want to see everyone get this result. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the students who were sitting in the front row, who were quite strong in age and appearance, stood up abruptly and shouted loudly to the students in the hall.
"You've all heard what Kamiyu-sensei said, right? Anyone who dares to fail the final exam is an insult to Mr. Kamiyu and a personal challenge to me!! ”
"I don't think it's an insult" Just when the boy vomited, the audience erupted in echo.
"That's right!! For the sake of our beloved Kamiyu Sensei!! ”
"I'll be in the library from today!!"
"Oooh oh !!!!!!"
"Hey! Learn for yourself! It's a pity that the child's voice was drowned out in the enthusiasm of the students.
"Forget it, let it be!"
Kamiyu, who had given up, reluctantly jumped off the wooden bench on his feet.
However, when he looked back at the podium, he was suddenly stunned. Gradually, the boy's eyes began to flicker with excitement.
"Am I getting taller?"
Obviously, no one paid attention to the desperate shouts just now, but now just whispering to himself, the classroom fell silent for a moment, and hundreds of eyes focused on the young man in an instant.
"I've grown taller!!!!"
With a cheer, Kamiyu rushed out of the classroom, leaving only the shocked students among the teachers.
The news quickly spread across the campus in a viral fashion.
"Kamiyu-sensei!"
"It's rude!"
Just as Kamiyu was strolling around the campus, a group of people jumped out of the bushes next to him.
"Do what?"
One of them grabbed Kamiyu by the shoulders from behind, while the other two each held a scanner-like object and swept Kamiyu from head to toe.
"How?" After doing all this, the man let go of Kamiyu and hurriedly asked his companion.
"Compared with the previous data, it really increases!"
"It's not scientific!"
The cafeteria, which is usually full of laughter, is now shrouded in seriousness.
"Did you hear that?" The classmate who sat down with a set meal asked in a deep voice.
"What?" The man who was silently eating ramen behind him asked rhetorically, the corners of his mouth moving slightly.
"Teacher Kamiyu has grown taller."
"Ahem, cough, ahem," the student who had just sucked half of the noodles was choked.
After coughing for a long time, he suddenly turned around.
"It's not scientific!"
And this kind of thing happens everywhere on campus.
'Boom~' A small explosion rang out in the lab.
"It's not scientific!"
On the test firing field, there was a violent explosion
"It's not scientific!"
in class
"It's not scientific!!"
It's not scientific.
In short, it is emotionally unacceptable
'Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong~'
There was a rush of footsteps on the floor, and Lindy in the kitchen looked up in confusion.
The people in the family tend to be steady, except for the occasional time when Naha comes to the house to play, such a hurry is almost never seen in the Harrowing's house.
Could it be that Naye is here?
"Mother! Mother! ”
By the time Lindy turned around, Camillo had already jumped into Lindy's arms from behind.
"Kamiyu~~~" Lindy, who caught Kamiyu, directly used Camillo in her arms, and then rubbed Camillo's face hard.
"I took the initiative to come to my mother, my mother is so happy~"
The strong feeling of suffocation caused Kamiyu to suddenly have the illusion of suicide.
It was a long time before Lindy, who was finally satisfied, let go of Kamiyu.
"Is anything good happening?" Lindy asked, rubbing Kamiyu's head.
Even a fool can see that something good must have happened to Kamiyu when he came to him so happily.
"Hmph~~~" Kamiyu held his head high and let out a rather smug laugh.
"I've grown taller!"
"Huh?" Lindy's smile froze, and the hand rubbing Kamiyu's head stopped.
"At the end of today's class, I noticed that the height difference between me and the podium was shortened by 1 centimeter! I'm finally in the middle of my long time coming."
"Aha, that's so nice~~" Lindy's smile was still stiff, but the hand that was rubbing Kamiyu's head again was a little heavier.
"Mother, are you kneading too hard?"
"Isn't Kamiyu going to tell Fett the good news?"
She had already said it when she met Lu just now, and she was so happy that she froze. I'm going to tell Crono! ”
"Go, go"
Outside the 97th century, the management of the world
"This is Emerald House Cafe, excuse me"
"My son, Kamiyu, Kamiyu" Momoko had just picked up the phone, and before she could finish her words, she heard hurried and anxious words from inside.
"Lindy?" Listening to the voice seems to be Lindy's.
"Don't rush, speak slowly. What happened to Kamiyu? ”
Lindy, who was on the other side of the microphone, took a deep breath and sorted out her mood before speaking.
"Kamiyuta has grown taller!"
"What!?" Momoko's face suddenly became grim.
"It can't be true, can it?"
"Kamiyu's own visual inspection can't be wrong." As ridiculous as it sounds, many people in Mead know that Kamiyu is absolutely sensitive to data measurements.
"It's an event"
And in the General Directorate of the Space-Time Authority
"Kronor, why do you look melancholy?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Kamiyu sent a communication just now, saying that he has grown taller." Kronaud said with emotion.
"Aha, this should be a good thing!"
"A good thing indeed."
As a younger brother, Kamiyu is impeccable in appearance, personality and achievements. It's just that the only thing that makes Krono unacceptable is that the 17-year-old Kronaud has become quite mature under the packaging of the uniform of the General Administration of Management, and is recognized by the General Administration as a young and promising representative.
But as a younger brother, Kamiyu has not shown any signs of growth in recent years, obviously the age difference between the two is only less than 3 years, but now the age between the two seems to be getting farther and farther.
No one can understand Crono's embarrassment.
"Still, I always think someone won't be happy."
"Won't it?"
The affairs of the Halovinian family are even more difficult for others to understand
A table lamp illuminates the gloomy hut while also reflecting Momoko's serious expression.
"It's an incident!"
With her hands crossed in front of her face and Momoko propped up in front of her nose, she said in a deep voice.
"It's a big deal!" Lindy added, patting the table.
"I press him down from the head every day, and I stop him from doing sports like high jump! And when I sit with him in my arms, I will deliberately lie behind him, and then the weight of my body will press him down! ”
"Well, I'm working on that too." Signo, who was sitting next to Lindy, also chimed in.
"Huh?" Signor's answer immediately drew a skeptical look.
"I mean the front, the back doesn't count." The resolute knight blushed slightly and coughed.
"Every time my brother hesitated about milk, I helped him finish the milk."
With Fett's words, everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on her, Fett's chest to be precise.
Even though he is only 12 years old, his chest has already shown a bulge that exceeds that of his peers. At this moment, in some eyes mixed with envy and jealousy, everyone's eyes revealed [Ah, I see. Relief.
As a result, Fit suddenly blushed and retreated in defeat in the eyes of everyone.
"I pray to the night sky every day that Kamiyu will never grow taller! And it's been said three times!! ”
"Mom!" Momoko's speech made Naha couldn't help but pull the corner of her clothes.
"That's right! I slapped him on the head with a paper fan whenever I had the chance, but that didn't work? After saying that, the wind still muttered quietly, "Cut!" Only Kamiyu's height is about the same as mine, how can he be surpassed so easily! ”
The girl who has been in a wheelchair for several years and is lagging behind in growth looks very resentful!
"Speaking of which, doesn't Kamiyu often put Raphael on his head?" Naha asked suspiciously.
"Raphael!"
A group of people rushed out of the room and found the fat cat rolling on the living room carpet.
"Meow?"
"That's a lot of weight!" Naye picked Raphael up, and after a while his arms felt heavy.
"Indeed!" Fett, who had taken Raphael from Naye, nodded affirmatively.
"How much can you eat to be so fat!?" When Fit handed Raphael over to Tempest, Tempest immediately complained to Raphael.
The wind passes to Signor, who in turn passes it to Lindy, who in turn passes it to Peach.
"Meow~~" Finally, the fat cat, who had been inexplicably tossed for a while, couldn't stand it and jumped out of Peaches' arms, raised its tail high, and ran upstairs.
Looking at the direction in which Raphael disappeared, everyone clearly realized a problem.
"It's tenacious!"
Can you still grow taller in this way, can you not be tenacious?
"It looks like we're still too gentle."
"Hmm!" Peach's summary won a neat nod from the slices.
"But what other drastic means are there?"
"This"
"It is said that children who can sleep grow up," I don't know who said quietly.
"Huh?"
Kamiyu is indeed very sleepy, but is it really necessary to destroy such a small hobby of his? Isn't that a little too cruel.
After hesitation, the group arrived outside Kamiyu's bedroom.
[During sleep, the disturber is responsible for the consequences. 】
There was a bland sign on the door, but the cat that looked like it was dancing with its teeth and claws, but it couldn't be related to horror in any way, made everyone except Moaches and Lindy hesitate.
"Anyway, it's a bedroom too. Shouldn't there be any problems, right? Naye asked cautiously.
Considering Raphael's size, a small bedroom shouldn't be possible.
"Of course! The rules of our Harrowing's house: the room cannot be locked! Lindy pushed the door open in a grand manner.
'Whew~~~~~'
A wave of heat stiffened Lindy, who was still pushing the door, along with the smile on her face.
The room, which was supposed to be only a dozen square meters, turned into a pitch-black chaos at this moment, and the white dragon wrapped in flames was curling up into a ball and sleeping with his eyes closed, and his deep breath made bursts of heat blow up in his face.
"I don't admit it, I don't admit it! Mom will never admit it!! The Harovingian family motto, it is forbidden to modify the room without permission! ”
For the sake of the forever lovely son, at this moment, Raphael seems to have become the most stubborn bastion in front of the stupid mother.
As for the other stupid mother, although she already knows that there is magic in the Dao and other worlds in science fiction movies, she is dumbfounded that she has never really seen a fantasy creature.
"Mom, why have I never heard of this kind of rule!?" Fett blushed and whispered in protest
"Fit, rush in!"
"Huh!?"
Naye had already taken out the Heart of the Rising Sun without saying a word.
"Naha!" Fett, who still wanted to dissuade him, turned his head to find that Signo and Swift Wind were not far behind.
As a result, a Dragon Quest plot that looks like a duck on the shelves begins.
Well, in fact, although the dragon who was intruded into the territory was very unhappy, after seeing the visitor, he wisely chose to turn a blind eye.
Those who can't afford to offend are those who can't afford to offend, and it has nothing to do with strength at all.
The girl and her party quickly walked through this small space and came to the familiar bedroom.
"You just fell asleep like that?"
Kamiyu lay asleep on the table, still with a residual smile on his face.
"Really want to wake him up?"
With such a sleeping face, deliberately interrupting it is almost like a crime.
"Brother"
The moment Fett's finger touched Kamiyu, the tiny projector on the table glowed faintly due to the vibration.
Immediately after, a 3D figure pops up from the projector.
"Wow~~ I even did this." After seeing the figure above, Naye couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
"But"
Gradually, several people in the room were attracted to the video
"How?" Lindy and Peach, who had finally waited for a few people to come out, hurriedly asked.
"Actually, Camillo who grew up is not bad." Signor coughed slightly.
"Of course, it's the aesthetic of being a knight."
With that, Signo left in a hurry.
"I also think that Camillo who grew up is very good" Naye said the same thing as Signa.
"Mom" Fitt shoved a miniature projector into Lindy's hand.
"Brother Kronaud said that children are not toys for parents."
With that, Fetra ran downstairs with Naye.
Looking at the micro projector in her hand, Lindy also wanted to see what kind of magic could make Fett and the others suddenly decide on the backboard camp
"Hmm~~~~~~~" Kamiyu raised his hands to the sky, and stood on tiptoe desperately, maintaining the movement of touching the height. The flushed face and the fine sweat on his forehead showed that he was not easy at the moment.
"There is still 1 minute to finish~~ Otherwise, it will have no effect." Lindy, who was sitting on the side, held her chin in one hand, glanced at the stopwatch casually, and said with a playful smile.
Sure enough, after hearing Lindy's words, her body, which had sunk slightly, suddenly rose a little, but Kamiyu's cheeks bulged.
"How much longer!?" Kamiyu, who was already blushing to the root of his ears, asked with difficulty.
"It's 50 seconds."
"Huh~~? Only 10 seconds? ”
"If you want to grow taller, don't complain, if you want to grow like this, this effort is necessary." Lindy raised the projector in her hand, and a simulated image of Kamiyu's future popped up from it.
"Why is this thing in your hands, mother!?"
"There are 55 seconds left!"
"Didn't you just say there were 50 seconds left?"
"1 minute to go!!"
"Mommy bullies!"
