Chapter 1

Sakuno stare eagerly at the school from a wide open window. She leans closer to the wall, hiding behind one of the door. If the teacher sees her, she would have trouble because she disturbs the class. Trouble again. That's the last thing she needs.

"Bad, Worse, Worst." the teacher talks lazily, as he move his hands on the air.

Many boys sitting on a tatami with a little table on it in that room, repeat every single word that the teacher said. They are learning English. Sakuno sees two five-year-old boys. Those young students could read and talk English very well.

Once, Sakuno borrowed a book from a boy. She was astonished. In that book, many kanji alphabets were written. Even though she couldn't read that, she learned that seriously. Unfortunately, her parents caught her reading that book. She was punished then. Everyday, she learns nothing, she's just forced to do the boring households. This is not fair! Why does women forbidden to have education?

From the wall, she could see Echizen brother's back. At that point of view, even you didn't look at their face, they're really handsome. Sakuno wished that someday, she'll be one of their wives, but, she knew that it wouldn't happen, unless there's a miracle that could pull out the curse on her.

Now, the teacher called Kidou Yuhgo to test him if he memorized some of the material that the teacher had taught an hour before.

"Good, Better..." he forgot the next verb.

"Oh, come on Kidou! It's so simple!" protested the teacher. Kidou just hanging his head low, while his friends laughed at him.

"Good, Better…"

"Best." Sakuno answered. Automatically, people in that room looked at her. At least she satisfied because she had beaten boys' brain. Well, it just gave her a little satisfied feeling, because the next is…

"Ryuzaki! What are you doing here!" the teacher shouted at her. Sakuno ran from the window where she stood before. The kids laughed. But, they didn't know that Sakuno still hiding somewhere to hear the teacher.
