"C-Can you repeat what you just said? What do you wish for?"

"I want to be an adventurer."

My father's eyes widened in surprise and had a complicated expression written all over his face. He was silent for a while until he asked again.

"At what age are we talking about?"

"13."

He became silent again. He thought about something deeply for a while before speaking again.

"T-That would be hard to approve... you know, with the whole thing with your mother and stuff..."

I nodded. I already knew that this would happen. The sole reason why I can't become an adventurer is because of my mother. I mean, she would eventually say yes when I'm old enough but I wanted to become an adventurer when I turn 13, which would be pretty hard.

"First of all, why 13?"

"Ah, it's because I wanted to experience being an adventurer before I officially go to school and 2 years amount of experience is relatively short but should be enough. I also planned on finishing everything in the palace at 11 years old or lower so that I have at least 2 years' worth of preparing to become one..."

"That... is actually quite smart. Having at least 2 years' worth of preparing to become an adventurer is pretty nice, I myself only prepared for a couple of months so 2 years would give you an advantage. Plus, having 2 years of experience as an adventurer would give you a bit of an advantage on your school. Wait, which school are you planning to go to?"

"Aurora Maxine University."

"The same one as your sister? Then being an adventurer before being a student there would be great. Most students there would at least have some experience in battle so you would at least be able to be equal to their level. Though, when you said you wanted to finish everything in the palace by 11, do you mean you want to finish every single lesson that is going to be taught in the palace in only 3 years?"

"Yes."

He seemed surprised by my statement. Believe me, I would too if I were in his shoes. To be honest, despite my having otherworldly knowledge from my previous world and a unique skill that can get all the knowledge in the world, I doubt I would be able to surpass my sister in pure talent in terms of intelligence.

This means I wouldn't be able to finish everything in just a year like my sister, but I could probably do it in 3 years or lower without any help from my skills and that's what I want to do. And I also needed 2 years' worth of preparation because I want to do a lot of things in that time period that takes a long time to do each so 2 years is just about the right amount of time.

"But... how are we supposed to tell your mother about this? Your mother would definitely not approve of this."

"And that's why I made that wish. Because you will be helping me!"

"W-What?!"

My father looked scared for a moment there. He looked genuinely terrified as to what was about to happen. But he has no choice either way because I for one knows that he always keeps his promises, so he wouldn't be able to refuse.

I smirked before hopping off and telling my father in a cheeky voice: "We better hurry up~"

He was absolutely terrified. I mean, I am too but looking at his expressions just made me feel better a bit. After he set his life together, we started heading out. I asked him where is she since she wasn't in his office and he explained that she was taking a break somewhere in the garden.

We went there and sure enough, our mother was there while drinking tea and... wait, is that alcohol?!

"Ooka-san! What is that bottle?!"
