Lesson

"I will submit the report later!"

Nico Olvia clung to the Holy Sword and wouldn't let go.

This is only natural.

He is an outstanding scholar among the younger generation of Ohara, and also a junior whom Dr. Clover highly values.

Nico Olvia naturally possesses all the qualities of a scholar.

For example, being meticulous and conscientious.

For example... a boundless curiosity!

Let's set aside the question of whether it will kill the cat.

Who could withstand Holy Sword holy sword capable of destroying the seemingly indestructible Poneglyphs?

No scholar could possibly refuse such a research opportunity, right?

Therefore, Nico Olvia acted without hesitation.

What?

Respect elders?

What is that thing? Is it edible?

"..."

Dr. Clover was dumbfounded.

Good heavens!

Wow!

So you're just not installing it at all?

At least I could come up with some excuse and maintain a facade of propriety, but you just went straight to violence, huh?

Could you please help me research this?

Human language?

There's nothing more to say then, draw your sword!

Dr. Clover slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Bullshit! This old man is in excellent health! And how could a scholar fear mere danger?!"

Dr. Clover roared at Nico Olvia, his beard bristling and eyes wide.

His gaze, naturally, never left the Holy Sword in the other's hand.

Such miracles are a fatal temptation for these scholars!

To be honest, if it weren't for my pride as a senior scholar and my fear of damaging such a precious treasure...

It's likely that Dr. Clover has already rolled up his sleeves and gone to solo with Nico Olvia.

"..."

Nico Olvia did not respond to this.

But judging from how tightly she held the Holy Sword and the wary look in her eyes as she glanced at Dr. Clover...

It's impossible for me to hand it over.

I'll never give it up in this lifetime!

Seeing the two staring at each other, Lin Yan on the other side could only feel helpless.

It seems I underestimated scholars' thirst for the unknown.

While I do admire their relentless pursuit of knowledge, ultimately it was precisely this will that led to Ohara's downfall.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"How about this, Olvia, you study it for three days, then hand it over to Dr. Clover, and return it to me in a week, okay?"

"Oh..."

Nico Olvia pouted upon hearing this, thinking that three days wouldn't be enough. However, she then remembered that Lin Yan was living with her anyway, so she obediently nodded in agreement.

Dr. Clover also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Lin Yan was brought by Nico Olvia before, and he was also a little unsure about the relationship between the two. Now that he had gained an extra day, it wasn't a big problem.

And so the matter was settled amicably.

After a while, the three exchanged pleasantries, and then Dr. Clover rushed back to do his research, seemingly to make thorough preparations before studying the Holy Sword.

Lin Yan and Nico Olvia also headed back home.

It seems he's genuinely very interested in the Holy Sword.

As soon as she got home, Nico Olvia gave a brief greeting and rushed straight back to her room.

Lin Yan's eyes twitched as she watched.

Respecting scholars who work diligently is one thing.

But whoever marries this woman...

Tsk tsk.

Lin Yan hesitated to answer.

It's worth mentioning that Little Robin had been waiting at home, and when he saw Lin Yan and Nico Olvia return, he immediately rushed over happily.

He opened his arms, waiting for Nico Olvia to give him a hug.

However, Nico Olvia, who only had eyes for the Holy Sword, completely failed to notice Robin's movements and rushed back to her room like a gust of wind.

Little Robin was equally bewildered.

Then, without realizing it, a wronged expression appeared on her face.

"..."

What a tragedy!

Seeing Robin's pitiful appearance, Lin Yan was both annoyed and amused. She scratched her head, walked over, and reached out to pat Robin's head.

Little Robin looked at Lin Yan with a pitiful expression.

"Big brother, does Mommy not want me anymore?"

"..."

Lin Yan's face darkened instantly, but she still gave Little Robin a hearty smile.

"How could that be! Your mother is just having a relapse; she needs treatment! I'll go talk to her right now!"

As he spoke.

Lin Yan stood up with a dark expression.

Under Robin's somewhat strange gaze, he walked straight to Nico Olvia's room, opened the door without a word, and locked it with a snap.

"Huh? You?! What are you going to do?!"

"Help! --!"

Then, very quickly, Nico Olvia's pitiful cries for help came from inside the room.

"..."

Little Robin stood hesitantly in front of the door, wondering whether he should go in.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't knock on the door.

I've seen something like this in a picture book, if I remember correctly... uh, it was called domestic violence? And it seemed to say that children shouldn't interfere?

Little Robin tilted his head and thought to himself.

In the end, I decided to follow the picture book's advice and pretend I didn't see it.

So, there's not much to say about what happened after that.

Two full hours later.

Lin Yan then led Nico Olvia out, completely satisfied.

Overall, it feels good... cough, I mean, after a serious and stern exchange, Nico Olvia has deeply realized her mistakes and is reflecting on them.

"Mother!"

Seeing Nico Olvia come out with Lin Yan, Robin, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately brightened up.

Although she was very unhappy that Nico Olvia ignored her.

However, as everyone knows, children don't hold grudges overnight.

"Robin ..."

Nico Olvia looked at Robin apologetically and quickly went over to pick up her daughter.

"Um, Robin, Mom just..."

"Cough cough!"

However, before Nico Olvia could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Yan coughing. Seeing the meaningful expression on Lin Yan's face, Nico Olvia couldn't help but grit her teeth.

That despicable man...

But even so, she absolutely did not want to be treated like that again.

Therefore, Nico Olvia had no choice but to compromise.

In Lin Yan's words, explaining at this point would be making excuses; the only option was to admit their mistake.

Thinking about it, Nico Olvia affectionately patted little Robin's head.

"I'm sorry... Robin."
