Episode Summary

The family's happy news about a second baby is swiftly followed by awkward news about a third, and a family meeting threatens to send the loyal maid away for good. The boy talks his mother round with a very convenient version of events, then hits a wall with his own training, asks his parents to pay for a friend's schooling, and gets something quite different: a crash course in leaving home before he has agreed to go.

これは 上級レベル版。第4話は、家族会議での説得、剣の稽古と進路の相談、そして師匠からの手紙が英語の見どころです。It wouldn't be fair for her to get in so much trouble for something she didn't do. / It would be irresponsible of us to send you away at your age. / I'm starting to worry that I won't improve much more on my own. といった実際に作中で使われている表現に、unaccompanied / stamina / conflicted / faithful / childrearing のような語彙を合わせました。もう一方のレベルは〈中級〉版でどうぞ。
