[JD] Today's Dior also feels that there is something wrong with the world

Dior's natural luck helped her at the last moment—almost as soon as Jonathan had tied her corset and rolled under the bed when Mrs. Smith knocked on Dior's door.

However, the strength of the waistband this day was stronger than that of the first day, because when Mrs. Smith saw that the knots were messy, Dio lied and said that he couldn't sleep last night and tried many methods to untie it. It will be like this.Although Mrs. Smith doubted it, she really couldn't think of anyone who would help Dio undo his waist.

Not noticing that there was a person hiding under the bed, she increased the strength of tying the rope while expressing that it was a punishment to prevent Dio from having the idea of ​​"untying his own waist".

Under the bed, Jonathan hugged his pillow and the alarm clock and huddled together. Hearing the horrific movement above, he didn't even dare to breathe out. While expressing his apologies to Dio in his heart, he also felt that he had to pay attention to the way the rope was tied so that he wouldn't lose his breath. Let Dior accept this devil's punishment.

In short, no matter how much Jonathan cheered himself up from the bottom of his heart and successfully recalled the correct way to tie the knot thousands of times, Dior's punishment today would not be able to escape.

After relaxing all night and putting on this thing again, Dio felt that the feeling of suffocation that lasted all day yesterday had returned, and compared to yesterday, she felt that today she would have the desire to vomit at any time.

And it's still a school day.When the tutor, Mr. Wenster, finished explaining the principles and examples, and assigned the same type of questions for the two to practice, Dior felt dizzy for a while. She couldn't even read the numbers in the notebook, let alone use her brain to solve the questions. up.

Mr. Winster quickly noticed that something was wrong with Dio, and he also noticed Jonathan's pathetic and suggestive eyes.

So he glanced at Mrs. Smith who was sitting nearby and came to "supervise the work", coughed, walked over and told her tactfully that he didn't like being watched by adults when he was teaching.

Jonathan almost stretched his neck to watch Mrs. Smith go away. When the door of the study was closed, he immediately put down his pen, picked up a piece of paper, and moved to Dio to fan her, "How are you, Dio!"

Dio couldn't speak at all, and could only gasp for breath, while Jonathan looked at her pale, ghost-like face, and subconsciously said, "Quickly loosen the waistband and take a breath!" , He stretched out his hand as he spoke, as if I will help you untie your waist.

Mr. Winster had just watched Mrs. Smith go. Before he turned around and said a word, he saw Jonathan stretching out his claws to the untouchable place.

"JOJO!" He quickly grabbed Jonathan's hand, and taught her with a shocked face, "Are you going to lift a lady's skirt? Even if she is your sister, you can't do such a thing!"

"I'm not! Oh, no, I just want to help Dio loosen his waistband!" The tutor's words were subtly associated with Dio's scolding him as a hooligan last night, and Jonathan blushed again. Arguing to myself, "Dior is in pain wearing this! I just want to help her!"

"Calm down JOJO first." Mr. Winster still didn't let go, he glanced at Dior's weak expression and nodded, "So Miss Dior became like this because she started to tie her waist. But JOJO, if you Wanting to help Miss Dior undo her corset and begging me to dismiss Mrs Smith with those eyes, I think I might have to call her back."

"Why?" Jonathan was puzzled, "Does Mr. Winster know about the waistband? I think it's not a good thing for Dior to suffer so much, so why didn't he let Dior loosen it? And why only Dior needs the waistband?" What about the waist? The sisters of my friends in the town don’t need it, I asked yesterday.”

"Girting is something that noble girls must do. I think it is probably part of the lady's curriculum. The sisters of your friends are not noble girls, so they don't need it." Mr. Winster told Jonathan patiently. Explain, "I heard it in the past, and this is the first time I have seen someone around me use it. It will make women have a slender waist, and make women look more elegant and perfect, so noble ladies need it."

"But it makes girls miserable, doesn't it? Why do you have to trade pain for beauty? If I hadn't uncorked Dior last night, she wouldn't have been able to sleep."

Dio quickly endured the discomfort and kicked him under the table.

But it was too late, and Mr. Winster listened to every word, "JOJO, you..." He gasped, "Did you do something like this last night?"

Jonathan also realized that he seemed to have said something that shouldn't be said, but since Mr. Winster was a humorous person and treated him very well, after a second of silence, he nodded frankly and begged, "You Can you not tell Dad? I just want to help Dio, she is really in pain!"

Mr. Winster was silent for a while, "I have indeed heard about girls dying because of corsets, but your approach is not advisable. I think...JOJO, if you really want to help Miss Dior, you should try Talk to your dad or Mrs. Smith, express Miss Dior's feelings to them and ask if they can change the content of the lady's course, instead of secretly helping Miss Dior untie it at night..."

"If Dad or Mrs. Smith don't agree, then they will definitely find out that I help Dio later! If I don't discuss it, I can help Dio secretly. That's what we did yesterday. I slept in Dio's room and woke up in the morning. Help her tie the rope, and then hide under her bed, and I will go back to my room after the others leave, and no one will find out about it."

"..." Mr. Winster stopped talking. For the first time, he felt that the young master of the Joestar family who could do such a thing was a bit difficult to deal with.

"But you can't do this all the time. Sooner or later you will be exposed." Mr. Winster said tactfully, "The punishment you face may exceed your imagination."

This made Jonathan a little shaken, he thought for a while, and then asked Dio for his opinion, "What do you think?"

"...That's it." Dio has been listening to the two people talking back and forth, only to feel that the noise around her ears gave her a headache, and now she finally calmed down, she calmed down, and glanced at Jonathan , "I can bear it during the day, so be it."

"Okay. Since Miss Dior has said so." The tutor spread her hands, "but I still suggest you talk to Duke Joestar, because I think your method...can't last three months."

<<

As expected of teachers with life experience, Jonathan and Dior's way of living through the day was exposed at the end of April.

The reason was that according to Mrs. Smith's plan, Dior would be able to wear a smaller waist after spring, but in fact, the length of the new waist was shorter than Dior's waist.

What this meant, Mrs. Smith knew all too well.

She deliberately went to bed three hours late, and then blocked Jonathan who was sneaking into Dior's room.

At [-]:[-] that night, Duke George, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up by the housekeeper and went to the study.Mrs. Smith told the story and then stood aside, leaving the Duke to take care of the matter.

"I admit that I was wrong with Dad. Don't blame Dior, I proposed it." Jonathan stopped Dior and was the first to speak. At this moment, he remembered what his tutor said, so he began to speak honestly in his heart Thoughts like, "But Dad, it's really painful for Dior to wear this, and Mr. Winster said girls wear corsets out of beauty, so if Dior doesn't want to, I don't think she has to at all. wear this."

Jonathan ignored Dior who kept pulling his sleeves to tell him to shut up, and continued, "Mr. Wenster also said that girls died because of corsets, which is terrible Dad! So even if it is a lady course, can you Change the content too? Choose something that won't make her uncomfortable?"

Duke Joestar pinched the center of his brows with some headaches. He looked at his son's flushed face, and then at Dio, who had been bowing his head, and sighed, "...What is Dio thinking? Is it painful?"

Dio hesitated for a moment, and after quickly thinking about her current status in the hearts of everyone in the Joestar family, she replied in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Joestar... I, I think I can still bear it." ..."

Jonathan, who had been waiting for her answer, let out a disappointment, "But Dior, aren't you-!"

"I see." Duke Joestar sighed again. He stopped his son's words with a wave of his hand, turned to look at Mrs. Smith, and asked, "If I suggest that Dior stop wearing waistbands, what does Mrs. Smith think?"

"I respect your opinion." Mrs. Smith nodded, "But a corset will make the future Miss Dior more beautiful and moving. Maybe it is very painful now, but once you get used to it, you will find that it is not unbearable. It is all I'm investing in my future life. And Miss Dior is nine years old now, which happens to be the best time to wear a waist."

"But JOJO also said that Dio was in pain. I want Dio to enjoy freedom in this home, not the bondage that aristocratic life brings to her." Duke Joestar laughed, "My wife has never used a girdle before, In my eyes, she is still beautiful and moving. My thinking is, since the child is unwilling, then forget it." He looked at Dio, "Do you think this is okay? Dio."

"..." Dio didn't speak, but the twinkle in her eyes showed that she really respected the suggestion and wanted it to be carried out immediately.

"You see, this is Dio's wish." Duke Joestar gestured with his hands, and he smiled at Dio, "We must respect a lady's decision."

Mrs. Smith froze for a moment, but nodded quickly, "Okay. Then I will remove the corset from the plan, but Mr. Duke, when you make this decision, you are responsible for Miss Dior's possible future. A corset is very good for a beautiful lady to keep in shape and help her find a good marriage."

This time, before Duke Joestar could speak, Jonathan said, "Dior has been exercising in the morning before, and she doesn't eat much, so she won't gain weight in the future!"

Dio quickly grabbed his pajamas from behind and pulled them hard.

Fortunately, Duke Joestar probably associated this morning exercise with walking the dog. He didn't notice this problem, but laughed again and helped them speak, "JOJO said that."

"Okay." Mrs. Smith looked a little helpless, probably she didn't expect the parents of Joestar's family to spoil their children so much.She glanced at Dio, and then looked at Jonathan standing in front of Dio. After thinking for a while, she nodded with understanding, "Since this is your idea, then I have no objection."

Jonathan cheered immediately, and Dio was also very happy.

Very good.She thought, save her going to London to buy medicine.

>>>

Dior, who had completely shaken off the shadow of her corset, slept five minutes longer the next day, but when she finished her breakfast and was about to go upstairs to study the chessboard left over from yesterday, she saw Mrs. Smith coming to her with needles, thread and cloth.

"The corset can be removed, but there are some learning tasks that cannot be deleted. Even if Mr. Duke loves children again, I hope Miss Dior can have her own concerns in her heart. You will definitely enter the circle of celebrities in the upper class in the future. I don't think Miss Dior herself will be unhappy." Mrs. Smith still said annoying words with a straight face, "And your future... Anyway, I discussed the course with Mr. Duke first. Some necessary changes have been made to the content, and now it can no longer be called a lady's course, it is just some content that noble ladies must understand."

She put the cloth in front of Dior, "In addition to the necessary etiquette courses, first of all, as a woman, you need to know some needlework and embroidery, so that you can do something for your husband in the future to improve your status in his heart .”

Dior:  …

"Then there is accounting and settlement. When you get married in the future, you will get a piece of property that belongs to you. If you don't sign an agreement to make it your husband's property, you need to take care of this property yourself. But I see you I'm learning arithmetic with a tutor, so I don't think I need to dwell on that."

Dio: ...uh...

"I know you like to read books, and knowledgeable women are not annoying, but do you have other hobbies? Just like the Duchess of Argyll, the former Princess Louise loved sculpture and painting, and her unique talent will make her a noble lady If you have a hobby like this, Mr. Duke said that he will find a teacher for you."

Dio: ...oh...

"There are many other precautions, and I will teach you slowly in the future. I will stay in Joestar Manor for five years, and I hope that Miss Dior will already be an outstanding lady when I leave."

Dior:  …

"So, let's start with simple embroidery today!"

Dior: ...w, wry...?

When Dior was forced to learn embroidery, Joestar and his son also had a conversation.

"Did you go to Dio's room every night before?" Duke Joestar looked at his son's expression while holding a pipe, "JOJO, don't you think your relationship with Dio is too good now?"

Jonathan replied vaguely, he felt that he must never say that he slept with Dio before.Wow - come to think of it, lucky to be caught at night, if in the morning...

The Duke of Joestar has nothing to do with such a son. He feels that it is heartbreaking to take care of the child alone, "JOJO, it is a very good thing that you can get along well with your sisters, but everything needs There is a limit, and once it is exceeded, it becomes troublesome."

"Well..." Jonathan scratched his hair, "but I just want to play with Dio."

"I told you JOJO a long time ago, Dio is not your brother, men and women are different, you can't always play together. And Dio also has his own things and tasks to do, you can't always bother her " Duke Joestar thought for a while and said, "So you have to keep a distance in some things now, for example, you can no longer go to her room in the middle of the night, you are still young now, but when you grow up, this It's an outrageous thing, I hope you know what an outrageous thing is, JOJO."

Jonathan was a little lost, he said, "I know the meaning of this word..."

"Well." Duke Joestar nodded with satisfaction, "I thought about it, JOJO, didn't you mention to me that you want to exercise before? So tell me now, what do you want to learn? Horsemanship? Swordsmanship ? Or something else, how about I find a teacher for you? It just happens to pass the day when you have nothing to do."

"Is it possible!" The child's face changed as soon as he said it, and Jonathan's eyes lit up, "I want to learn, is it okay? I want to become a powerful gentleman! By the way, I can learn equestrianism with Dior Daddy? She hasn't ridden her pony yet!"

Duke Joestar choked, and he bit his pipe, "...that's fine..."

"That's great Daddy! I love you so much!"

So Jonathan's happy study life began.

He also invited Dior to enjoy this happiness with him, but he was cruelly rejected without exception.

Because when Jonathan was happily learning how to control the horse gracefully on horseback, or following the fencing instructor to draw with Western swords, Dior was learning embroidery with Mrs. Smith holding his head, which was extremely painful.

<<

At first, the embroidery was always crooked and out of shape, but when winter came, Dior was able to embroider beautiful birds and flowers in a decent way.

After Mrs. Smith praised her for her great progress, Dior simply embroidered a bird for Joestar and his son as a Christmas gift that year.

Jonathan was very happy to receive the handkerchief embroidered with birds. He even asked Dior if he could embroider his name on the lower right corner of the handkerchief, but of course Dior refused.

"Is it really not possible?" Jonathan was very disappointed, "Then can you add it after you learn how to embroider letters? For the sake of the beautiful folding fan I gave you, promise me, okay?"

His Christmas gift to Dior was a folding fan embroidered with flowers and plants, because Mrs. Smith said that an elegant lady needs a good-looking fan.

Dio didn't like this gift, let alone agree to Jonathan.

However, in the end, he couldn't stand him talking all day long, and his wish was fulfilled when spring came.

That summer, Dior, who really couldn't think of any other hobbies he could have, began to learn piano from Mrs. Smith, and Jonathan said to her cheerfully, "I will do this too. Dior, if you have any bottlenecks, you can ask me." !"

These words made Dio's teeth itch, and she began to roll up her sleeves and learn to play the piano with great enthusiasm, vowing that she would also leave JOJO far away in this skill.

In autumn, Dior, who has passed the embroidery requirements, finally has some free time. Apart from reading, she will ride her own pony for a few laps from time to time.

The first horse riding in this life was accompanied by Jonathan, and the way Dio sat sideways on the horse always made him feel that she was going to fall.At this time, Jonathan, who was already quite good at equestrian skills, followed her closely, and even stretched out a hand to stop her, "If you feel that you are going to slip, grab me quickly!"

Jonathan's wordiness made the equestrian teachers roll their eyes, and Dior found him annoying, kicking the horse's belly and running away. Jonathan was dumbfounded by that smooth movement, and he began to think that Dior was a genius again.

Then Dior gestured to him arrogantly, expressing his idea of ​​being the first no matter what.

Before Christmas, Dio and Jonathan went to the town to buy gifts together. Dio, who hadn’t been to the town for a long time, found that there were many fewer boys, but there were also many new faces. Obedient and surrender.

Jonathan said some friends have moved away with their parents, but others have moved in, so they will have new friends.Dior doesn't care about friends or not. The wicked savior who hasn't "moved his muscles" for a long time finally had a good time, and he was so high that he wanted to vomit.

Then Jonathan pushed me to say that you should treat them equally the whole way home.

Another summer, Dior's piano level was already above Jonathan's.

Satisfied Dior went to Jonathan to show off, but when she found that JOJO was reading "The Death of King Arthur" and heard him say that history is really interesting, her mood suddenly turned bad.

"Human life has a limit, and there is no future in studying history."

She angrily dropped this sentence, and then she didn't say a word to Jonathan for the rest of the summer, and she didn't walk the dog together again.

Jonathan, who didn't know why Dior was angry, was so wronged.

The two reconciled in the fall, and on the first day of resuming daily dog ​​walks, Dior was surprised to find——

Jonathan was already as tall as she was! ! !

This fact made her very unhappy again, and she took Jonathan's chocolate that day.

She hopes to grow taller by supplementing sugar.

Seeing that Jonathan was getting taller, during the snowball fight in winter, the wicked Dio stuffed rocks in the snow ball and smashed his head full of bags to show his revenge.

Jonathan, who didn't know that he was deliberately retaliated, comforted Dio, saying that he was fine and told her not to think too much.

The level of nagging made Dio call him stupid all the time in his heart.

Six months after that, Mr. Winster moved out of the town when the summer came.

Before he left, he gave the two of them an exercise to do, and Dior retaliated mentally against Jonathan with a perfect score.

Then when she went to the town to see the teacher off, she found that Jonathan was already half a head taller than her.

Dior:  …

I'm so angry!

Angry is angry, Jonathan's head is still jumping up.

By the winter when Dior was 12, Jonathan was already a head taller than her.

It shouldn’t be. During that time, Dior was always depressed. She couldn’t be malnourished so she couldn’t grow taller. The last time she lived in a slum until she was 13 years old, she came to Joestar’s house. In the end, she grew to more than 1.9 meters. ?

This time she came at the age of eight?Shouldn't it be tall?

Dior, who didn't think that this might be the difference between men and women, was very distressed. She heard from a certain younger brother that a new doctor had been moved to the town recently and seemed to be very good. When Dior fell into trouble, he pulled himself off and went to the doctor to check his height problem. , or when she was struggling to talk about it after a while, her 13th birthday came.
