Leon's heart stirred slightly. He leaned toward his daughter's ear and lowered his voice, "But if someone bullies you first, you fight back. As long as they're not dead, beat them like you're trying to kill them. If he dares to call his parents, your Daddy's got your back."
Noah held back her laughter and nodded, "Yes, Daddy."
Rosweisse listened from the side to that father and daughter's "loud whispering," helplessly sighed, and shook her head.
Once the couple finished their instructions, it was the two little sisters' turn.
Luna scooted next to Noah, gently pinching her sleeve, lowering her little head, the ahoge on top drooping down as well, softly saying, "Sister, Luna will miss you…"
Noah smiled, raised her hand and rubbed her sister's hair, "I'll be home on the weekend, it's not that long, Luna has to be good, okay?"
"Then will sister miss me too?"
Your sis-con little sister blocked your reassurance, staring at you with her big watery eyes.
Noah's little heart nearly melted. She lifted Luna's chubby cheeks.
"I will, sister will miss you, sister will even dream about missing you."
"Yay~"
After getting Noah's promise, Luna's low mood finally improved a little.
Next was Little Light.
The little pink-haired girl also clung to Noah for a while, calling her "sister" over and over.
In the end, Noah reminded, "At home don't always hit Daddy with an uppercut, his body's getting weak on and off."
"Mm, I know, big sis."
After saying their goodbyes, Noah waved her hand and ran off toward the classroom.
Luna still looked reluctantly at Noah's back, now that sister was gone, they wouldn't see each other for five days.
In a child's world, time passes so~ very~ slowly.
Especially after the holidays, suddenly not being able to see Noah, little Luna really couldn't adjust right away.
For a sis-con, these five days were truly a torturous wait.
"Second sis, let's go," Little Light took Luna's hand and said softly.
Luna snapped out of it and looked at the pink-haired girl beside her.
After a moment, a smile appeared on the face that still showed a bit of grievance and disappointment.
Thankfully, she still had a little sister.
This kind of joy, don't even mention only children, kids from two-child families wouldn't understand either.
Because in the Melkvei family, what they had the most was kids.
"Mm! Let's go!"
Two little dragon girls holding hands, followed Leon and Rosweisse toward the exit.
But after just a few steps, Luna looked back again.
By then Noah had already reached her classroom door, where a girl slightly taller than her warmly came up and linked arms with Noah.
Then the two girls laughed and chatted as they walked into the classroom.
And this scene, Luna saw it all clearly.
———
The couple carried the kids out of the school building.
Leon let out a relieved breath.
Rosweisse looked at him and asked, "Why do you look so happy?"
"Is it that obvious?", Leon countered.
"It is," Rosweisse said, "You might as well write 'thank goodness something didn't happen' on your face."
Leon scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing really, just that sending Noah back this time, we didn't run into that old guy, the vice principal."
Upon hearing this, the dragon queen's pupils tightened.
Indeed.
Every time they came to the academy, they always bumped into that old fossil Wilson.
Not that just meeting him was a problem.
But that old B-dragon was totally "old dragon, young heart," always on the frontlines of gossiping and shipping couples.
Rosweisse believed, if the academy allowed it, the vice principal might've even built a statue of her and Leon in the courtyard.
To commemorate their timeless romance.
"Mm… not running into him is indeed a good thing."
Rosweisse agreed, "Otherwise we might've been stuck again—"
["Is the Melkvei family here? Has the Melkvei family arrived?"], Before the couple could finish celebrating, they saw the academy's sound-transmission stone on a lamppost calling their name.
The couple looked at each other, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.
["If the Melkvei family hears this, please proceed to the administrative building. Vice Principal Wilson is waiting for you there."]
Leon: "..."
Rosweisse: "..."
"I freakin' knew it! Every time we try to pop champagne, something bad happens!"
General Leon gritted his teeth.
In this world, there were basically no dragons who could render him speechless, until he met Vice Principal Wilson of Saint Heath Academy.
This guy played the complete opposite role in Leon's life from his beloved donkey.
The donkey was Leon's childhood sweetheart;
The old fossil, was the very definition of a cow-headed beast.
After not seeing him for over half a year, Leon could only hope this old fossil had learned what "enough is enough" meant.
"Ah, let's go," Rosweisse sighed.
The couple accepted their fate and brought the kids to the admin building.
———
At the vice principal's office door, Rosweisse raised her hand and knocked.
"Come in."
The two of them pushed the door open.
"Vice Principal," Rosweisse greeted.
At the sound, Wilson immediately looked up. Seeing it was the couple he'd been waiting for, he sprang from behind the desk.
"Long time no see, really long time no see, you two!"
The old B-dragon came right up and shook Leon's hand, "I thought you weren't on campus."
Leon forced a smile, thinking, 'If you'd been five minutes later, my wife and I would've successfully run away.'
Wilson was about to continue talking, but suddenly his attention was drawn to the little pink-haired girl in Leon's arms.
He adjusted his single-lens glasses, surprised, "Th-this is your youngest daughter?"
"...Yes, Vice Principal," Rosweisse replied.
"Didn't expect you two to have three daughters in just a few years of marriage."
Wilson looked like he'd found treasure, glancing at Little Light, then Luna, "Then please be sure to let the little princesses enroll in our academy in the future. Noah's performance is extraordinarily gifted, I'm sure her sisters won't be far off."
Rosweisse gave a bitter smile, "That… let's talk about it later, Vice Principal. They're not at school age yet."
As soon as she said that, the dragon queen quickly changed the subject to prevent Wilson from wedging his way in, "Come on, Luna, say hi to Grandpa Wilson."
"Hello Grandpa Wilson~", Luna said in a soft, milky voice.
"Good, good, hello little princess."
Beside them, Leon blinked, the mischief in his gut starting to bubble.
'You old fossil, always messing with us, today it's your turn to suffer a bit!'
He looked down at the little girl in his arms, "Little Light, do you want to greet Grandpa Wilson too?"
Little Light looked up, her pink eyes gazing at her Daddy, "Okay."
Leon smiled slightly and lifted Little Light, handing the little one to Wilson.
"Vice Principal, you can hold her too."
"Really, Mr. Leon? That's wonderful, thank you so much!"
Wilson stretched out his hands, slowly moving toward Little Light.
The little pink-haired girl looked harmlessly at the old man in front of her.
Just as he was about to hold her—
Uppercut!
Rosweisse gasped and quickly covered Luna's eyes.
Vice Principal Wilson's single-lens glasses drew a graceful arc in the air before landing on the floor.
"Are you okay, Vice Principal?", Leon asked with concern.
"N-no problem…"
"Kids don't know any better, just playing around, please don't mind, Vice Principal," Leon explained.
"Not at all, not at all," The vice principal picked up his glasses, blew off the dust, and put them back on, "From the strength of that punch, the little princess is a great prospect for martial arts. She'll surely become a peerless martial arts master in the future."
'And you, old fossil, will become the ultimate punching bag,' Leon thought.
Rosweisse looked at the dog man, she knew he'd done it on purpose.
But Little Light's uppercut counted as avenging the couple's many "social deaths" over time.
After the small interlude, Wilson got down to business, "Actually, it wasn't me who asked to see you."
Rosweisse raised an eyebrow, "Then who?"
"The headmistress."
"Principal Angelina Oullette is back?"
Rosweisse was a bit surprised.
Principal Oullette hadn't been seen at the academy for quite a long time.
So long that Rosweisse had started to suspect the academy was about to fall under the vice principal's rule.
"Yes. The principal just returned yesterday and might attend this year's entrance ceremony."
Wilson said, "But that's not what we're here to talk about. Please, follow me, I'll take you to meet Principal Oullette."
"Okay."
Wilson walked ahead.
The couple followed behind him.
Leon didn't know much about Angelina Oullette.
He'd only heard Wilson mention her once long ago, and also seen her name in the book A Brief History of Dragonkind.
