Chapter 232: See You Tomorrow! (End)
Among my brain skills, I had one called “Brass Face”. It was a skill that let me keep a straight face no matter what bad things I did or how guilty my conscience felt.
As an additional effect, it also improved my facial skin’s defense, allowing me to maintain firm, wrinkle-free skin. But today my face was unusually itchy. When I kept fidgeting because of it, Naru, who was drawing in her sketchbook, growled.
“Dad needs to stay still…! This is Naru’s art homework to draw Dad’s face! If you keep moving the drawing will look weird!” “Art is a basic refinement for noble ladies. I, Cecily, shall draw it elegantly and we must hang it as decoration in the room.” “Hina likes drawing. Dad’s face is fun…”
The children were in a situation where they were drawing me as their model. From what I heard, it seemed to be some art class homework, and I thought this must be what people mean when they say something is “embarrassing”.
After drawing for a while, the children finally put down their brushes at the same time. Naru had artistic talent and drew my face very realistically. It would have been really nice if it didn’t have ‘Wanted’ written under it.
“Is this a criminal’s composite sketch?”
When I asked, Naru said “Naru doesn’t know!” then went Wa— raising her hands and dashing out into the hallway. While wondering where she was going so happily, I looked at Cecily’s drawing. Cecily’s drawing was very abstract. It had artistic value like a master’s abstract painting.
“Cecily, your drawing skills improve day by day.”
Pat- Pat— I patted Cecily’s head gently. Then Cecily’s face turned slightly red and she growled “You must pat more vigorously!”
