Summary
Felice suddenly said she was going to take Lida out to play. However, the place she took Lida was… Extremely unsuitable...
This video does not containe caption, but you can watch it to folow along
It was a clear, mild Sunday morning. The winter sunshine casts a pleasant warmth over one's body.
Lida was doing her homework by the window when she heard familiar footsteps and the sound of the door opening...
Felice It's Sunday, so why is Lida the only one here?
Lida Big Sister Felice is here! Hmm, Big Brother said he had something to take care of outside, so he left me here all by myself.
Felice saw on the table in front of Lida a pencil, old documents used as scratch paper, and a “Kolmogorov Problem Book”.
Felice Are you doing homework?
Lida Yes, sister Felice.
Felice You are such a good girl, but studying this hard all the time isn't good for you. The weather is so lovely today, not even a hint of a cold breeze outside. So how about letting Big Sister Felice take you out to play?
Lida Huh? Sister Felice is usually busy. How come you suddenly have time to hang out with me? Do you actually need something from me?
Felice Lida, you are truly brilliant, nothing gets past you. I’m heading out to investigate a case, and I need to pose as a mother with a school-age child to make it easier to gather information.
Lida Investigate a case? Good! Good! I want to catch bad guys with big sister Felice!
Felice Why are you so happy? Haven't you and your brother already accomplished a lot of great things together?
Lida Big brother has always been against me getting involved in dangerous situations... but the truth is, I can take care of myself a little, and even help a bit.
Felice
Felice Lida is certainly being modest for a secret weapon in a decisive battle.
Felice It seems you realize, too, that Prapor certainly wouldn't approve if he were here, so...
Lida I know, this is a little secret between Sister Felice and me... just like last time, and the time before that!
Felice What a sensible girl! But getting back to the mission itself, this time, you will have to pose as my daughter. You don’t mind that, do you?
Lida Of course I don't mind! It's just a necessary sacrifice to complete the mission.
Lida Oh, well then, I suppose I can't call you "Big Sister" anymore. I'll have to switch to calling you "Mama Felice". You don't mind that, do you?
Felice ...Of course I mind! It’s like suddenly turning into an old woman!
Felice ...Oh well, this is a necessary sacrifice to complete the mission.
Lida had expected to follow Felice to infiltrate a gang's hideout or a den where kidnapped children were held. But to her surprise, Felice took her to the riverside park instead.
A number of parents with their children had gathered in a small square. Huge banners were strung between two trees beside the square:
“Beyond Hope International Anglo-Education Group”
An "admissions director" was holding forth to parents about the importance of mastering Anglish in the new century, insisting that children must not lose out at the starting line.
Admissions Director ...It is simply impossible to master Anglish relying on the school's classes. The textbooks are outdated and full of archaic and obsolete expressions, what modern Vespuccian actually says "Hao Du You Tu (How do you do)”?!
Admissions Director If you learn Anglish like a dead language, how are you supposed to communicate with Vespuccians later on? That’s exactly what it was like when Mariana first arrived, so many people wanted to seek employment with her, yet they couldn't even strike up a conversation.
Parent A Contains Chapter 3 Spoiler(hover over text to make it clear) But isn’t Mariana…
Admissions Director Mariana is dead, yet Vespuccia remains the most powerful nation in the world. In the future, when our children want to live and work in the world's most prosperous and developed country, how could they possibly get by speaking broken Anglish?
Parent That’s certainly true. I heard Mariana only came here to pull her scams because she couldn't make it in Vespuccia. After all, a place as advanced as Vespuccia couldn't possibly run on fraud and trickery!
Parent B Oh, Ivanushka... could you try really hard to get a green card when you grow up, and bring me over there to live a good life?
Ivanushka was a chubby little boy who, just moments ago, had been rosy-cheeked. But now, with his lips bitten tight and his face deathly pale, he dared not utter a single word.
Admissions Director With the latest teaching materials and educational methods we have introduced from Vespuccia, we guarantee that the children will learn to speak Anglish fluently! And now, let us invite some of our outstanding students to introduce themselves in Anglish!
A child about the same age as Lida immediately stepped forward, bowed to everyone, and then began introducing herself in Anglish.
To be honest, although she spoke loud and clear, she rattled off her words rapidly like a machine gun. No one could make out what she was saying, let alone gauge her level of Anglish proficiency.
Nevertheless, many parents and children still wore expressions of envy and longing. Ever since Mariana’s arrival, they had noticed that successful people in Vespuccia were indeed like this, confidently holding forth regardless of whether anyone else understood them.
Admissions Director (Excellent. It seems none of these country bumpkins who showed up today hail from an Anglophone background, fooling them will be a piece of cake.)
Felice had originally planned to observe covertly and see how the situation unfolded, therefore she and Lida hid in the crowd, quietly watching the "Admissions Director's" performance. When suddenly, they noticed-
Prapor was strolling leisurely along the riverbank towards them!
Lida Mama! Mama! Look! Quick! It’s…
Prapor Lida? Aren't you supposed to be at home doing your homework? What are you doing here? And Felice, too...
Felice Oh my, Papa, so you *do* know to take an interest in Lida's studies after all!
Prapor (Papa?)
Felice You're out messing around every day and never come home, I even have to worry about after-school tutoring classes!
Prapor Lida, what is…
Lida Dad! Well, Mom says Anglish is a weak point in my studies, so she wants to take me to check out an Anglish tutoring class!
Prapor ……
Lida looks at Prapor with a face of innocence, while Felice desperately winks at Prapor.
Prapor (Right... well, is this the disguise Felice is using today? She even dragged Lida along to play as her daughter without saying a word to me, honestly...)
Prapor (At this point, I have no choice but to play along with her for now.)
Prapor Um... does Lida still need to attend tutoring classes? She’s been doing pretty well in her studies lately, hasn't she?
Felice That’s right! With Lida doing so well with her studies, you can rest easy and go spend all your time hanging out with your old classmates and that young sales rep.
Felice You know, I’m really afraid of holding back a bright child like Lida. After all, I’m counting on her to look after me in my old age!
Prapor Oh... please don't talk like that, okay? So Lida is taking a tutoring class and it costs a bit of money? I support it. After all, the reason I work away from home is to make sure Lida is a bit more comfortable financially, isn't it?
Prapor (I had originally planned to take a walk by myself after finishing my errands, since the weather was so nice. Never expected something like this to happen...)
Seeing that "Mama Felice” was completely convinced by his explanation, the "Admissions Director" began to confer in a low voice with the "Principal of the Ang-Language School," who had remained silent until then.
Principal That parent with the pink hair seems really eager, we should be able to squeeze a huge chunk of money out of her!
Admissions Director I also think there's a way, but...
Admissions Director Don't you think that child's father... looks a bit like the Prapor?
Principal Stop talking nonsense. Do you think the leadership spends every day walking around outside in the freezing cold like you do? For a guy like that Prapor, driving a car worth a million Unity rouble would actually count as being low-key!
And so, the "admissions director" immediately turned his attention to Felice.
Admissions Director Everyone, look at this child's mother! Truly farsighted and bold! While there isn't a parent in the world who doesn't love their child, not everyone has the resolve to make a substantial investment in their child's future now.
Admissions Director Our children are facing an era of globalization and competition against people from two planets. If they do not put in the hard work now, they will inevitably face deep regret when they grow up...
Principal Tell you what, since the parents here at Unity City are so determined and so committed to their children's futures, we are going to offer our VIP small-class immersive learning course to you all at a 12% discount!
Principal Originally 5,688 Unity roubles for 40 hours, now available for just 3,688 Unity roubles !
Lida But 12% off 5688 Unity roubles should be 5005 Unity roubles and 44 cents…
Felice (Lida! You don't need to be so smart right now!)
Principal On top of the 12% discount, we’ve waived fees for supervision, textbooks, course materials, and utilities... Plus, we’re throwing in an extra 10-session intensive review course and a curated workbook!
Felice (Fortunately, this guy isn't too sharp, either.)
Parent B Do you hear that, Ivanushka? You need to feel a sense of urgency right now, just think of all the children out there who are smarter and better off than you, who will be competing against you in the future!
Child Mom... does that mean that, in the future, kids who don't do well in Anglish won't be wanted by anyone?
Parent A That won't happen! But... well, sooner or later you'll have to make your own way in life; I can't support you forever, after all...
Parent B Ivanushka, let's sign up for the VIP course! It doesn't matter if I eat less or wear less, I can't let your education suffer.
Ivanushka still remained silent.
Lida Mama, Mama, Lida really wants to learn Anglish well, but 3688 Unity Rouble isn't a small amount of money, so...
Principal And there's more! Students who sign up for the VIP course will have the chance to participate in our lucky draw, with prizes including a variety of exquisite toys imported from Earth!
Lida Really? There’s a lucky draw, too? I want it! I want it! Big Bro.. Dad! Let's sign up for this VIP course!
Prapor Okay, okay…
Felice Does Lida really like lucky draws that much?
Prapor She certainly never gets tired of this kind of activity...
Principal …So, parents, please register your child's name, age, and grade here…
Lida Waku waku~ Lucky draw, lucky draw, lucky draw~
Principal Student, the lucky draw box is here.
Lida I'm drawing! , Let's see... hmm, it's a third-prize win: "one Akitsu imported bamboo-copter"!
A line of more than a dozen parents quickly formed in front of the "Admissions Director's" registration desk, while their children, shedding their earlier gloomy expressions, eagerly lined up at the prize-draw box.
Felice Have you clarified the details regarding the registration fee? How does this VIP course ensure that our children truly master Anglish?
Principal It is already crystal clear. Now, the children’s lessons have officially begun!
Felice So soon? ... Of course! The sooner you start, the better.
Principal To ensure the child learns Anglish well, she needs an excellent, pure Anglish environment; otherwise, since everyone around speaks Ruvilian and Slavic, the authentic accent she acquires here will end up being corrupted!
Felice That’s a problem, neither the child's father nor I speak Anglish...
Principal Then simply don't speak to the child at all; if you do speak to them, you must use Anglish, even if it’s just making "mm-hmm" or "ah-ah" sounds. Whatever you do, you must not speak your native language and pollute the child's linguistic environment!
Felice Well, for my child’s Anglish, I’m willing to do that! But we still have to use her name, her name is Slavic, after all.
Principal Hmm, well then, let's give the child an English name. Let's call her, hmm...
Principal Let's call her “Peppa”!...
Lida I know this!
Lida Hmm,oink, oink, oink~~
Felice Don't be naughty and make pig noises, Lida!
Admissions Director Don't disrupt the child's language environment! You mustn't call her Lida, you have to use her Anglish name!
Admissions Director If you can't speak Anglish to your child, then, even if it means oinking like a pig, you absolutely must not speak your mother tongue!
Felice O…okay, teacher, Peppa!
Lida “Dez ehz ma mi”（This is mummy）”Oink! Oink!”
Admissions Director Language environment!
Felice “Oink! Oink! Oink!”
Prapor Pffft~~
Prapor couldn't help but chuckle, but the laughter died in his throat the very next moment as Felice shot him a fierce glare.
Lida “Dez ehz dai di” （This is daddy）
Felice Language environment, Dad!
Prapor (To look like a family... I guess I have no choice but to play along.)
Prapor “Oink! Oink! Oink!”
On the evening of that day... inside a filthy, disused warehouse...
Admissions Director Fantastic! We collected so much "idiot tax" from those fools today, even played them like a fiddle.
Principal Those idiots…no amount of money spent will ever make them smart!
Principal Alright, I think we’ve made off with just about enough for now. Next, let's head to the Republic and rip off some knight, one of those rich, gullible types ,and then come back to pick up where we left off once the heat dies down.
Admissions Director Are you still using the name of an Anglish tutoring class?
Principal Depending on the situation, we’ll just offer whatever is trending. Who knows? In a couple of years, teaching kids to play the piano might be back in vogue!
Principal Wait, something suddenly strikes me as not quite right, that family of the woman named Lida or whatever, the one from today...
Principal The child is a Circassian; the father is an Earthling, yet the mother is Ruvilian, it’s quite strange.
Felice Isn't it a bit late to be thinking about that now? Were you too busy rejoicing over that big bag of money you swindled to notice someone tailing you?
Principal Huh? What on earth is this...
They once again saw the "family of three" from earlier that day, only this time, several police officers were close behind them.
Felice
I certainly can't just let the matter of being made to oink like a pig in public slide!
Prapor (Felice seems furious about this...)
Principal You... who on earth are you...
Lida Heh heh heh, let me reintroduce us!
Lida This is my heroic dad—he fought on two planets!
(She still remembers that advertisment huh…) [Link To Reference]
Lida This is my amazing mom, an unsung hero who protects the Joint Development Region!
Felice Cherish this moment while you can, it’ll be a long time before you see a beautiful face like this again.
Lida And there's me, Lida! I have the body of a child, but I possess superpowers!
Felice Round them all up!
The two fraudsters attempt to flee but are immediately pinned down by a swarm of police officers and hauled into a police car.
Felice Thanks, Lida, for a pleasant collaboration.
Lida Ehehe…
Prapor Comrade Felice really had my head spinning today; not only did you recruit Lida to pose as your daughter, but also dragged me into the whole mess before I even knew what was going on.
Felice Is Comrade Prapor really so unwilling to play the part of a married couple with me? I'm so heartbroken, waaaah~
Prapor ...What I mean is, since the mission is already complete, the charade can come to an end now, right?
Felice Oh yes, Papa and Mama are divorcing. Who do you want to go with, Lida?
Lida Hmm, that’s a serious question. Let me give it some serious thought...
Is that even a question? ...
Felice suddenly said she was going to take Lida out to play. However, the place she took Lida was… Extremely unsuitable...
