The girl came out.
He went downstairs to wash his face, rinse his mouth, and brush his teeth. When he reached the dining hall, he found that Arbeit wasn't there.
That was really strange. Claude wondered if he hadn't returned since he went out last night.
However, he couldn't be bothered to ask. He greeted his parents with a nod before stroking his little sister's head and pinching the boy's cheeks. After teasing him a little, he started eating.
After waiting for a while, he met up with his three friends and headed to school.
As he was thinking about the diary, he forgot to ask Eriksson and the others about their harvest yesterday.
Borkal, Welikro, and Eriksson didn't mention anything about hunting wild cats either. Instead, they rambled on and on until they reached school.
After tossing his bag into his desk, Claude wanted to take a good nap. However, Borkal nudged him and asked, "What's wrong? You're dozing off so early in the morning?"
Claude nodded. "Yeah, I went home to sleep last night and couldn't sleep at night. I didn't sleep well this morning."
Suddenly, he recalled something. "By the way, didn't you guys go hunting wild cats yesterday? How did it go?"
"Uhh …" Borkal blushed. "We did hunt two, but we didn't know if they were wild cats or house cats. We were chased for half a day.
When we got home, we got scolded by our father because he paid a thale for the cats. "
Claude couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously?
You can't even tell wild cats from house cats?
Where are you going to find wild cats?
Also, why did your father pay for them? "
"Wero brought us to the forest outside the town, but there weren't any wild cats there. We didn't even get a single one after shooting at birds for half a day.
So, we went to the town and found four cats playing in a yard. The cats were too fat and Eyke said that they were wild cats because no one would keep four cats at home.
"So, we started shooting.
Two of the cats were shot and struggled on the ground. The other two screamed and ran to the roof.
"Wero jumped into the yard and killed the cats before throwing the carcass out. We picked up the cats and were about to leave when someone saw us. They chased after us while shouting," Cat thief! "
I ran slowly and was carrying the ballista on my back, so they recognized me.
After that, they brought the bodies of the two cats we left behind to my family's shop to look for my father. They actually had to pay five riyases for each cat … "
Borkal gloomily recounted what happened yesterday afternoon. It was no wonder the three of them didn't mention anything about hunting stray cats on the way to school.
Claude didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Who told you that a fat cat has to be a stray cat? A fat cat can only be a house cat.
Also, why couldn't a family have four cats? There were even a litter of seven or eight cats.
Some people just like to be cat slaves. What kind of brains do you have … "
"It's all those two's fault. Their eyesight isn't good, yet they ran so fast. They're so disloyal and left me behind," grumbled Borkal.
Claude poked his belly with his hand. "You have to blame yourself for eating too much. You're so fat that people can recognize you right away. How can you blame them?"
Borkal was unconvinced. "I'm not fat! I'm muscular!"
At that moment, the teacher of the grammar class, Wickham, walked into the classroom.
Claude couldn't help but lament that he forgot the first period was grammar. Wickham took good care of him and often called him up to answer questions.
He didn't care if Claude needed it or not.
Alright, get your spirits up. Don't even think about dozing off at the back of the class.
As he expected, Wickham called out Claude's name twice in class. One of them was when he went to the blackboard in front of him to spell words and translate Gemirian phrases.
It wasn't easy for Claude to make it to the end of class. He was more alert and didn't want to doze off anymore.
Borkal and Welikro rushed to the toilet after class while Claude and Eriksson stood in the corridor outside the classroom, chatting idly.
"Hey, Claude, look over there. The girls are all coming out. I wonder if we'll get to see the girl of your dreams …" Eriksson suddenly looked at the female classroom across the square with a surprised expression.
"What did you say? Since when did I get the girl of my dreams?" Claude was rather confused.
"Oh, did you forget?
Didn't we talk about the girls at the end of last year? Wero said that Bokina was the prettiest and I said that Bilia was the prettiest?
Borkal said that the petite, big-eyed, long-haired Betty was the smartest and cutest girl, but you said that we were all blind and that Kefnie was the most feminine … "
Darn … I didn't even transmigrate to this world at the end of last year. Claude hurriedly rummaged through Claude's memories and found that it was indeed true.
Bokina was the tallest girl in her year. She had a big butt, a big chest, and a big figure. She looked as buff as a man and had a heroic air about her.
Oh, right. She seemed to have signed up for the swordsmanship class too.
Old people always said that only girls with big butts and big bodies who could give birth were good girls. It was no wonder Wero liked her. That was the kind of person Blockhead liked.
As for the girl called Bilia, Eriksson wasn't wrong. She was indeed the prettiest girl in the class. It was just that she sounded a little coquettish when she spoke, as if she was acting coquettishly.
For an experienced transmigrator like him, girls like her seemed easy to pick up, but they were actually the hardest to get. Even if he did manage to hook up with one, he would have to be prepared to bleed a lot.
But for a hot-blooded youth like Eriksson, girls like Bilia were the most attractive. She had a natural foxy charm.
As for the girl Borkal liked, Betty, she was the one with the best grades in the class. She was small, but her eyes were big and spirited. If she were to wear a pair of black-rimmed glasses, she'd look like a bespectacled girl from a manga.
Looks like Borkal has better taste. He likes little lolis.
As for Kefnie, the most feminine girl Claude mentioned, Claude couldn't tell how feminine she was at all.
It was just that this girl was very delicate and pretty, and her figure was not bad. Although the school uniform was also divided into boys and girls, the school uniform worn by the boys looked a little sloppy, while the girls wore it with a unique charm. It was especially fitting, and he didn't know if he had modified it at home.
If he was a fan of uniforms, it wouldn't be strange for him to like the girl. Could it be that the previous owner of this body was a fan of uniforms?
Did he like Kefnie because she looked good in the uniform?
"Oh, right. You also said that when you grow up, you're going to go out and make a fortune. You're going to marry Kefnie when you return," Eriksson added.
"Did I say something like that?"
Claude scratched his head. Being young and frivolous was something that all youths couldn't avoid when they were growing up, but saying it like that made it sound rather laughable.
"It's true. Boa and Wero were there too. They heard it all," Eriksson swore.
Claude's embarrassment turned into anger. Why do I have to take the blame for what happened before I transmigrated?!
"Alright, forget about it. I still think that Bilia is prettier. You're right. Maybe when I grow up and make a fortune, marrying her won't be a bad idea."
"No way, Claude. You can't do that. I saw Bilia first. I swear I'll make her my wife," Eriksson lamented as he pointed at Claude.
Is this guy an idiot? If you marry a woman like Bilia, she'll make you wear ten cuckolds at home. Claude looked at Eriksson with a pitiful gaze.
"You can't be so disloyal. Claude, I even helped Kefnie out last time because you like her. I even helped you find out about her family situation. Do you want to know?"
"Not interested," Claude thought, I'll suffocate you to death.
There are some people who put on airs the more you beg them.
But if you don't pay attention to him, he's like a bucket, pouring everything out without any way to stop it.
As expected, Eriksson began to ramble on. "Claude, did you know that Kefnie has an elder sister called Kathlyn? She's four years older than her and she's really beautiful. She's the most famous tavern queen of the western docks. Countless sailors see her as the goddess of their dreams.
Right, her sister worked as a maid in the Mermaid Tavern at the West Pier. The Black Snake Gang and Shark Gang had once fought over her sister.
"There are only two sisters in her family now. Their father was the captain of the famous sailing ship Whale. But six years ago, Whale met with a shipwreck and their father passed away. Their mother fell ill and passed away after a year. The family declined and the two sisters were the only ones left to fend for themselves.
For the sake of making ends meet, her sister worked as a maid at Mermaid Tavern. Many captains offered to take care of the two sisters, but she rejected all of them.
The Blacksnake gang in the western district fought with Shark for teasing her sister. Her sister was very shrewish and stabbed Squint-Eye Kamadi's right hand with a dagger right in front of everyone in the tavern.
"Blacksnake suffered a huge loss and had no choice but to swallow their anger. The boss of Shark, Iron Axe Hanbas, said that he was indebted to the sisters' father and that he would kill anyone who dared to touch the sisters.
"The two sisters lived in a two-storey building south of the western docks. It's as if Harald, the younger brother of Shark's boss, was her sister's lover.
"Kefnie was able to enter middle school because of her sister. She hoped that she would have a good job after graduation and wouldn't have to work as a maid at a tavern like her."
Claude was rather moved. "That means her sister is quite an amazing woman."
"That's right." Eriksson nodded, "One night last month, my father went to Mermaid Tavern for a gathering of the captains. I went with him and saw her sister. She was really, really beautiful, but she had a cold expression on her face. She didn't even smile.
The sailors and waitresses in the tavern teased her and even brought her upstairs, but none of them dared to touch her or tease her. At most, they just stared at her. "
"Then, who do you think is prettier between Kefnie's sister, Katherine and Bilia?"
Eriksson thought about it for a long while before shaking his head. "There's no way to compare them, but Katherine is definitely the sexiest and has the best figure. Apart from her looks, Bilia is lacking in everything else.
As for Kefnie, she's still too young compared to her sister. She hasn't matured yet. "
"Okay. Then, what did you do for Kefnie last time?" Claude asked curiously.
"Last time? I helped her fight a fight at the docks," Eriksson replied gleefully.
"Fight?
Who did she fight with? "
"Two new fishermen," Eriksson said after some thought, "They're brothers. They're probably new to town and I've never seen them before.
Isn't the dock next to our place a small fish market? Kefnie brought a basket there to buy some fresh longtail swordfish, but those two idiots probably didn't know her. They saw how pretty she was and teased her. They even tried to get their hands on her and said they'd bring her back to be their wife.
I happened to be at the dock and saw people crowding around, so I went over to watch the commotion. The moment I entered, I saw her crying. I got angry and ordered a few sailors to beat the two idiots up and snatch all their fish. I also warned them not to appear at the dock anymore and beat them up every time they see them. If they do, I'll sink their boat.
Then, I gave her all the longtail swordfish and she thanked me.
I generously told her that there was no need to thank me. Firstly, she was my classmate. Secondly, my good friend Claude liked her and said that he would marry her in the future. When that happened, she would be his sister-in-law and there was no need to stand on ceremony with us. So, she ran away with a red face.
"I …" Claude was so angry that he kicked the kid's butt. What the hell? How can you say something like that? You're just a brainless idiot who doesn't care about his own life!
"I've made up my mind. I'm definitely going to hit on that Bilia!" Claude roared.
"Don't! I'll call you boss, alright?"
"What are you two doing?"
Borkal and Welikro staggered back and looked at the two tangled up with each other with a strange expression.
"Nothing much, just a little argument …" It took Claude quite some effort to shove Eriksson away from him.
"Um, Boa, all the girls have left the classroom," Eriksson reminded, panting.
"Huh?
Really, let me see if my Betty has left the classroom … "Borkal immediately leaned against the railing.
