Mary was a genius.

In the daily life of the Neighbors' Ministry, there are many aspects of Mary that are out of the ordinary.

For example, when competing with Qianhe for fried meat, you can point out the amount that everyone has eaten, and then in the eyes of everyone, it is natural to classify the fried meat as a trophy into the scope of your own power.

In addition, Maria's academic ability is also higher than that of ordinary high school students, and the math problems that both Hoshina and I have a headache are, but Maria, who is only ten years old, can get the correct answer by mental calculation within seconds of hearing the question.

It's not the kind of high-IQ child who appears in the entertainment program after being packaged as a topic hype.,This is idle in the neighborhood all day.,Deceived by the night sky.,Sister Lori, who looks a little silly.,It's an out-and-out genius.,But for Maria,Superior talent has completely become a burden to her.,As a nun,She doesn't need any advanced degrees or certificates to decorate the façade.,More importantly, learn to communicate with others., But the outstanding IQ makes her have a sense of superiority, and at the same time, that arrogant attitude also makes her rejected by her peers, and because she feels that she has a better relationship than others, she can't listen to others at all, which is also because of why the goth will be keen to use body language to advise his uneducated sister.

"Because, preaching is useless for that guy at all!"

When the goth is in a hurry, the appearance of dancing is quite a sister's trick, should it be said that she is really worthy of being a sister? Personally, I think that the goth, who is as rough as an uncle, should be at least half of the blame for Maria's becoming the way she is.

"Indeed, at the age of ten, no matter how talented he is, he is still just a child in essence." After listening to Goth's words, I nodded: "But I think, Miss Takayama ......"

"It's okay to call it goth~"

“…… I think the way of communication between Miss Takayama and her sister is very inappropriate. ”

"Ruizi, you're often told that you're not cute at all, right?"

You have to take care of it!

I don't want to be complained about by a nun who can put her hand in her skirt and scratch her ass while talking!

And I'm a man!

"If you really value the other person, you must make the other person feel this too, otherwise it will be just a waste of effort for self-satisfaction."

It doesn't matter if the two sides can understand each other, but the problem between the Takayama sisters now is that the sister of a genius child and the sister of the rough leaves, the relationship between the two is almost zero, Goth treats Maria as a bad imp, and Maria also sees Goth as a fool like a demon.

"Forcing a child like Maria to do something she doesn't want to do is counterproductive."

Although I think that with the patience of the Goths, there is still a long way to go to gain the trust of Maria, who is indeed a stinky little ghost, at least at this stage, the feasibility is very low.

I took a sip of the juice in front of me, and when I looked up, I didn't know what the goth was looking at me thoughtfully.

“…… Ruizi, did I mention that my sister's name is Maria? ”

…… Worst!

"Of course you did! Haven't you been saying that all the time? ”

Calm down, I want to be calm.

"Is there one?"

Goth rubbed his chin in confusion.

"Of course, otherwise how could I know the name of Sister Gao Mountain."

Although there is an alternate reason of "Ji Tang Ruitai's relative", it is better not to say it until the misunderstanding is resolved.

"What kind of books did the Goths want to buy at the bookstore?"

“…… It is a cookery book. ”

Goth scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and his bright smile soaked in a hint of shyness, and then frowned as if to hide his shyness.

"Because that guy Maria doesn't eat at all in the morning now, and is always waiting to eat the bento prepared by [Ji Tang Ruitai]!"

That eaglet has a share, too!

Why am I the only one who is the bad guy?

"That little ghost is very picky about eating, and I usually turn a blind eye to snacks, but this time I will be punished by God for secretly taking food and throwing it away!"

If God wants to punish anyone, he should punish you first, right......

Perhaps, Goth was jealous of Mary's closeness to others.

Looking at Goth's puffing face, this thought popped into my head.

Why did the Alpine sisters become nuns in the church of Santa Cronia? There may be quite a deep reason for this, as an outsider, I can't understand the inside story, and my sister, who has always been hard to get along, suddenly gets close to another strange man, no wonder Goth feels repulsed.

“…… Wait a minute. ”

Listening to Goth's words, I suddenly remembered something else.

"Didn't Mary eat today?"

"Of course."

As if he thought my words were strange, Goth looked over with a frown.

"If it weren't for that [Ji Tang Ruita] who was suspended from school because of running naked, why would I come here to buy a cooking book?"

It turns out that you are cramming when you come!

The little emotion in my heart collapsed because I learned the truth.

———— Dividing Line————

Santa Cronian Lyceum.

To be honest, I really don't want to visit here the way I am.

"Don't you need to buy ingredients for cooking?"

"No need, I've already said hello to the housekeeping teacher and the people from the club, this place can be used by us."

When I went to the faculty room to get the key, the other party affectionately called the Goth nun "Little Goth", and the Discipline Committee officer patrolling the corridor did not come to interrogate me who was following the Goth in civilian clothes.

It's not just because of the nun's authority, it's because of the Gothic swagger that seems to have won praise from both the classroom and the students.

[Was I too serious in the past? 】

Seeing the Goth, who is obviously a Honkai nun but super popular, I can't help but reflect on my own behavior in my heart.

But now my wind review seems to be getting farther and farther away from the serious, and it is getting farther and farther away from the road of current charge, and I have begun to move towards the type of [many children can't hold it at all......

"The basics are OK."

The tools in the housekeeping room are cleaned quite cleanly, the air valves and exhaust facilities are also in good working order, and all kinds of facilities are more complete than Kiryu's kitchen.

"But the salt doesn't seem to be enough, can you go to the storeroom and get some?"

The sauce box is on the knife side shelf, but probably because the girls are not tall, the location is a little low for me now, and the luxurious grill and exquisite box stove are simply works of art in the modern kitchen!

…… Ahem, that's not right.

Today should only be to teach the Gothic the basics of cooking.

"No problem~"

Goth walked out of the city in good spirits.

Although he was very energetic and motivated, Goth had never used the cooking room before today.

It's naïve to think that you can cook with a few cookbooks!

And after asking Goth a few basic questions, in order to prevent her from inadvertently committing the crime of poisoning, I also followed to the Santa Cronian Academy.

As long as you pay attention, you shouldn't touch the really cold.

"I've brought it~"

Goth's movements were even faster than I expected.

Compared to Maria, who spent all day lazily in her neighbor's department, she was over-energetic.

But—

“…… What is this? ”

Taking the white bottle from Goth's hand, I wordlessly looked at the handwritten [NaCl] label on it.

"Of course it's salt~ yes?"

"I know this."

It is true that 99% of table salt is sodium chloride, but there is absolutely no salt produced in this world that is packaged in glass bottles labeled with chemical ingredients.

"I'm asking, where did you get this from?"

"The laboratory over there~"

Goth triumphantly pointed to the door.

"The researcher seems to have just gone out, so I brought the salt from the table, and by the way, I also helped others sort out the messy bottles and cans~"

Goth puffed up his chest as if proud of what he had done.

“…… You idiot! ”

I held the salt bottle and hit her on the head.

"It hurts!"

"How can things in the lab be moved?!"

Hoping that the researcher who had somehow left hadn't returned, I ran towards the door of the cooking room.

However......

"This time, it's too bad."

A suspicious white smoke emanated from the window above the lab door.
