“Wh- why did you call me?”, Hannah asked Gangster 1 as she entered the alley, while attempting to look as harmless as possible.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“Hey! You idiot!”
At that time, Gangster 2 entered the alley and hit the back of the head of Gangster 1.
“Are you stupid!? There’s nothing to rob, she’s the nursery teacher! Didn’t you see the kids over there?”
‘What’s wrong with them?’
Hannah was embarrassed and felt ridiculous when looking at them.
Gangster 2 seemed to know her.
He was pointing at the children and scolding Gangster 1.
“Oh! That’s not it! I was just trying to ask her where she got that honey bread! It looked so delicious when they were eating it!”
“Then don’t call her over in that tone! “
“…”
Is this Dumb & Dumber? A comedy duo? What are those gangsters 1 and 2 doing now?
Hannah, who was caught between the two, was quite uncomfortable with this situation.
“…Uhm, I bought this at the stall at the entrance to the market—”
Hannah carefully took the bread out of her arms.
“Do you want some?”
Hannah took out the bread, and the gangsters became quiet for a while.

“But isn’t Teacher in danger?”
Masha said to Ian.
“Are you worried?”
“Uhm, I actually thought Teacher would say ‘Let’s run’, but she went with a determined expression. I wonder if she has any hidden martial arts skills.”
“Shall we go to the butcher’s?”
Masha scratched his head as Hannah had been talking to the Gangster for quite a long time.
Jeremy, who was listening next to him, put some leftover bread in one bite. chewed, gulped it down and opened his mouth.
“There’s no need to call him! I’ll go there!”
He put his hands on his waist and shouted proudly.
“It’s my specialty to save people from a bad guy!”
“Hey, Jeremy—”
Ian tried to tell Jeremy to stay still, but Jeremy was already jumping into the alley.
“…”
“That fast?”
Masha stumbled and turned to the butcher’s shop.
As long as Jeremy went, something was definitely going to happen.
“Teacher!”
Jeremy jumped in vigorously and called Hannah.
“Oh, huh?
At that moment, Hannah looked back, and the Gangsters 1 and 2 also followed Hannah and moved their eyes to Jeremy.
“…What are you doing?”
Jeremy expected Hannah to be being ripped off, but Hannah was giving out honey bread in peace.
“Ah…”
Hannah scratched her back awkwardly.
“Wow. Your sword is awesome, Mister!”
No, Jeremy, is this the time to appreciate that? And what the hell is cool?
Hannah was sweating at Jeremy’s sudden behavior.
Jeremy’s eyes were shining as if he were excited.
Hannah thought it would not work because it was like this, so she slowly moved her feet.
“….Then we’ll be on our way.”
“Take the money.”
“No, it’s fine.”
The Gangster 1 tried to give money to Hannah, but she refused and quickly stepped back.
On the way back, she snatched Jeremy, and put it on her side.
Jeremy couldn’t take his eyes off the sword while he was walking out to Hannah.
“The sword! Mhm hmhm—”
When Jeremy tried to praise his weapon again, Hannah gently covered Jeremy’s mouth with her hands.
Come on, get the hang of it!
Although they’re like a gag duo, they’re bad people!
“Well then, good luck.”
What do you want me to do? In the end, Hannah left the place at a speed comparable to when she entered.
“Jeremy! Why did you follow me!”
As soon as she left the alley, Hannah blamed Jeremy for chasing her in dangerously.
“But why did you give them honey bread, Teacher?”
“Honey bread?”
Ian looked up at Jeremy’s words.
“Teacher giving the bad guys some honey bread.”
You don’t understand but it’s better to give them honey bread than money!
Hannah opened her mouth by rationalizing her actions.
“They’re poor people, so Teacher helped them a little.”
“Those misters?”
“Yeah. They looked hungry. When you see poor people, make sure to help them.”
Ian and Jeremy looked distrustful at Hannah’s brazen words.
“But what about Masha?”
“He went to the butcher’s.”
She looked at the butcher’s shop after Ian’s words and saw the butcher running out with Masha and a big knife.
“Ah! Masha!”
Hannah was surprised to see an uncle chasing her with a knife as big as a bear and ran to them.
“I’m fine! Everything’s fine! Don’t come!”
She shook her hand hard and informed him of the safety.
“U-ugh… Masha you’re so fast.”
“Isn’t Teacher in danger?”
“Nursery Teacher, are you okay?”
The butcher and her became close to each other whenever she bought meat, and he had a strong sense of justice.
“It’s alright. It’s really alright!”
Hannah rolled around and showed her condition, and quickly hugged Masha.
Masha opened his mouth with his eyes round looking at Hannah.
“Teacher, did you defeat the bad guys?”
“No, they weren’t bad people. They were just good people with a lot of questions.”
“Good people?”
Hannah couldn’t answer any more.
Yeah, they don’t look like good people.
“Thank you for coming out to help me.”
“How can I stay still!”
Next time, don’t bring such a bloody knife with you—. It’s so scary.
But she couldn’t say it out loud.
“Be careful on your way! This neighborhood has a lot of junk these days, too!”
“Yes, I’ll be careful. Your beard looks nice today.”
“Hmm.”
Hannah’s compliment made the uncle go back to the butcher’s shop, fiddling with his beard.
“Phew, let’s go buy some dolls.”
Anyway, it’s good because she kept the money to go to the children’s market, so that’s enough.
“Ian, Jeremy! Come here. Let’s go!”
The children walked up to Hannah.
Masha was still hanging his legs in Hannah’s arms.
Hannah asked Masha.
“What kind of doll are you going to buy today?”
“Well, I don’t know. I need to make a teddy bear mate, but I want a princess, too.”
“Think carefully and choose one.”
Masha is in serious trouble.
“Is there anything else Ian wants besides gloves?”
“No.”
“Hey, come on, think of it carefully.”
As an adult, she had a lot of things she wanted to buy when she came to the market, but how can a child doesn’t want anything?
“Teacher!Teacher! Buy me that sword from before!”
Jeremy has a lot of things he wants to eat and have.
Jeremy said, pulling Hannah’s skirt.
“No, it’s dangerous.”
“Ah! A warrior should have such a sword!”
—You’re not a warrior. So it’s no use having a sword like that.
“No way, Ian, is there any book you want to read? There’s a bookstore next to the doll store over there.”
Hannah looked at the sign at the bookstore and told Ian, but Ian’s eyes shifted to see if he was interested in the book.
“…Then I’ll just buy one.”
Hannah’s lips went up with his shy answer.
“Dolls first!”
“Okay, but Masha, don’t you want to walk anymore?”
Hannah told Masha as he felt heavier and heavier, hugged like a cicada on her side.
“Hng, but this is comfortable.”
Then can you at least not hang your legs?
Eventually, Masha clung to her side and arrived at the doll store.
“Wow!”
Masha ran excitedly to the store and stopped.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Stop in front of the doll store! Masha! That can’t be true.
Masha’s eyes were on the next store.
