(373) A leopard can't change its spots
update icon Updated at 2025/12/26 5:00:02

373,

Without any reason, without any purpose, Cyclone walked into the small store in front of him.

He saw things he had never come into contact with before, but this time, Cyclone decided to buy them and bring them home.

However, when he returned home, Cyclone was surprised to see the anxious expressions on the faces of his three wives.

Looking at them, Cyclone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"What's, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! Do you know that you suddenly disappeared?!"

As soon as he arrived home, Little Dragon scolded him angrily.

It seemed that not being able to find Cyclone when they woke up and fearing that something had happened made everyone worried.

"Didn't I give you the Magicite Crystal for communication? Why didn't you bring it with you?!"

Eileen waved her hands frantically and then clung tightly to Cyclone.

Little Dragon was okay, just a bit red-eyed, but Eileen was really crying.

"I just went out for a while..."

Cyclone stopped halfway when he saw Yuna, and immediately shut his mouth.

There was no smile, no sadness, Yuna just looked at him, her eyes slightly red.

Unable to speak, it seemed that his three wives were really worried about him.

"At least leave a note!"

Eileen shouted loudly.

"But this person can't write at all...Eileen, sister..."

A perfect response, Little Dragon denied Eileen's suggestion.

However, at this moment, Cyclone pushed the two of them aside.

"Tch!"

On the surface, Cyclone was venting his dissatisfaction and being underestimated by his two wives.

But in reality, Cyclone was laughing.

From childhood to adulthood, Cyclone never learned to read or write, never went to school, so it was normal.

Cyclone didn't feel inferior because of this, because there was nothing to feel inferior about, not being able to read or write wouldn't kill him.

However, this time, there was a slight difference.

Cyclone threw the newly bought things out, onto the sofa.

"Guess what this is?"

Cyclone waved his hands amusingly.

Little Dragon opened the bag and took a look.

"...This?!"

After finishing reading, Little Dragon immediately walked beside Cyclone and placed her warm right hand on his forehead.

"..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Little Dragon's reaction exceeded Cyclone's expectations.

First, she used her right hand to check Cyclone's brain temperature, then compared it with her own by placing her left hand on her forehead.

After a few seconds of analysis, Little Dragon came to a conclusion.

"Have you caught some kind of strange illness?"

After a few seconds of delay, Cyclone shouted.

"Damn it! No!"

Cyclone let go of Little Dragon's hand and pointed at his wives.

"See! That's right! It's books!! Starting from today, I'm going to learn to read and write!!"

"What?!" x3

The three of them exclaimed in unison.

"Hehehe~ What's wrong? Isn't this idea great?"

"Who is this person?"

"Is this the fourth Shiva?"

"Are you out of your mind?!"

"Hey, hey, hey! I can hear you!"

With one hour to go until noon, Cyclone explained to his wives and finally made the three of them understand.

"Well, since there's nothing else to do now, why not learn something?" Cyclone said.

"Yes! If my husband wants to learn, Eileen will do her best to help!"

"Oh~"

"Well, it's not a bad thing. Even though I can't teach you, I'll prepare lots of snacks for you when you're hungry," said Eileen.

"Oh~"

Seeing that Eileen and Little Dragon understood, Cyclone felt relieved.

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's start now!" Cyclone signaled and casually threw a book to Eileen.

"Eileen, you read it out loud while teaching us the characters. Little Dragon, Yuna, and I will simulate the story to strengthen our memory," Cyclone explained.

"That's a good idea," Eileen agreed.

Opening the received book, Eileen's face turned red instantly.

"Hmm... I have a bad feeling about this," she said.

Little Dragon squinted his eyes and said what was on his mind.

On the other side, although Yuna wasn't good with characters, she could guess the situation by seeing Eileen's expression and Cyclone's mischievous smile.

To this, Yuna could only say one thing.

"A leopard can't change its spots, huh?"
