After the family finished eating their spaghetti napolitan, they returned to the west wing to hold a family meeting.
The meeting agenda was âWhat should we do for nowâŚâ
The daughter-doting father, Leonard, thought they couldnât afford to just wait until any serious accident really happened, so feeling worried, he told his children to take a leave from the academy.
âMeooowâŞâ
âIf Emma really takes a leave of absence from school, we can be together all day.â Koumei meowed happily.
âRight. Weâll want to avoid running into the âMinato lookalikeâ young lady when we are still in the dark about the true situation.â
Melsa, who was strict about her childrenâs education, unusually agreed to what Leonard suggested.
It wasnât wise to make a move when they hadnât fully grasped the situation.
âB-But Mother, are Onii-samaâs studies going to be alright?â
The worrisome factor in missing school was Georgeâs academic performance.
âI didnât want my exaggerated fear of the situation to hinder my older brotherâs academic performance.â Emma expressed her concern while sinking her body into Koumeiâs fluffy belly again.
âNo need to worry. I will teach George earnestly, one-to-one lessons, starting from today.â
Melsa, who had once been extolled as the academyâs talented woman, declared with a bright glint in her eyes.
âS-Starting today?!â
But I have already studied till I collapse todayâŚÂ George lamented.
âYou learn as much as you have studied. Every second counts.â
Letâs cancel all plans to attend the upcoming tea parties so I can supervise Georgeâs studiesâŚÂ Melsa was all fired up.
âEepâŚâ
George held his head in frustration after knowing that hellish days were waiting for him, even on the rare break from school.
Even the once-a-week Ancient Imperial Language class had already put him in such a miserable state. The spartan education from his mother with constant supervision could only give him despair.
âSo apart from having Nii-sama study hard, we should think about what we should do from now on⌠right?â
William brought the family, who had gone off-topic, back on track. âJust who on earth is Lady Joanna, why does she look exactly like my older sister in our previous life?â
âEven if the other party takes action against us or we make a move to counter them, we want more information first. After all, we currently know nothing.â
They at least wanted something they could use as a basis to make decisions.
âWell then, our first priority is to look into Lady Joanna. But I guess Mr. Goo*le⌠I mean, Joshua is already working on it at the speed of light, so we just have to waitâŚâ
â âRight.â â
â âUh-huh.â â
The family basically just leaves everything troublesome to Joshua.
Still, no matter how much they trusted Joshua, they couldnât tell him that everyone in the family has past life memories. Which was given because of how crazy it sounded. So there was only one topic left for them to discuss.
âAnd then, the one piece of info that even the resourceful Joshua canât find is the matter of Lady Joanna looking exactly like Mina-nee⌠But I personally have something Iâm doubtful about⌠or more like something I canât make sense ofâŚâ
âThis has been on my mind for some time,â William looked at George and Emma.
âYeah.â
âEh? What?â
George nodded to William while Emma tilted her head.
âNee-sama⌠âWhat,â you said⌠She looks just like Mina-nee as she is, you know? None of the academyâs students said how it was strange or anything⌠Thatâs weird, right? After all, Mina-nee is around forty, you know? A person nearing forty is wearing a uniform at the academy, you see?â
Thatâs right. Joanna didnât take the appearance of Minato in her youth or younger.
Quite a few students were still enrolled in the academy even when they were over 30 years old because they failed Monster Science, but they were all limited to noble sons who were the successors of their households.
The age of young ladies who attended the academy only ranged from 10-23 years old.
