The stuff I need to know I already learned before I came here. I never needed school before.

I'm here cuz the Professor's helping look for the guy who kidnapped Baron and the kids. I don't get why I hafta go to school while I'm waiting. Once I get Baron back I'm leaving.

Yes, that's exactly how things are for me as well.

...

Except what you said about professors and barons. [She clearly didn't pay much attention to what Apollo had said there]

Baron's my friend. We looked after the kids together. Some guy showed up a while ago and took them all somewhere. The Professor said he'd help me find them, so I came here.

I see.

[She doesn't really care because she's terribly selfish like that]

[But as long as they were sharing stories-]

If I recall correctly, my father said something about me needing a normal lifestyle and education.

But there isn't anything wrong that required sending me here.

Everyone's too worried about "normal" and "education". I can feed myself and find safe places to sleep. That's good enough.

[A pause.]

What's it like having parents?

Parents? [She stresses the s at the end, a little confused by the question. She was supposed to have more than one parent? Her father's father was probably the closest thing to another parent, but she didn't really consider him secondary father or whatever. Isao had been kind of a jerk, anyway.]

I only have one parent. It was... nice. He gives me everything that I want, and all he used to want from me was to train and defeat his enemies.

Up until he sent me here, anyway.

I thought parents just made sure you had food and shelter and scolded you if you did something wrong. Never heard of a parent wanting their kid to go after people.

[As poor of a grasp as Apollo has on what a "normal" life is like, even he thinks that there's something not right here.]

[black_lily]

My parent is clearly superior to those other parents.

[She thought so, anyway. Nothing beat getting a nice new dress just for thrashing somebody, in her opinion.]

[He shrugs.]

I wouldn't know.

Clearly not.
