196 Extra 4. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a relatively recent institution at the academy. It was considered the last weekend of the month — when parents of students were free to come to the academy to visit them. This tradition was first introduced this year.

In particular, it was Rachel's special order. The woman had to go to such lengths — to keep her wife from sighing sadly under the window. Leriana genuinely felt that her three «sunshine boys» could not do without her… Rachel, in turn, was tired of reminding them: that their children were almost eighteen and would soon have families of their own.

She was more cold-blooded about raising heirs and could not understand these worries. However, the wife's word was still law.

That Sunday, classes were canceled and the whole academy was filled with noise. Leriana and Rachel sat on a bench in the garden — and watched as Yoko and Razor's adopted son planted flowers. Silver also entered his freshman year this year.
