My fan-translation is down below:
Riddle’s Mother:
Happy 8th birthday, Riddle.
This year’s birthday cake is a low sugar cake of soy flour and nuts full of lecithin, which makes you smarter.
Riddle:
Thank you, mom. But, you know, I….
Even if just this once, I want to eat a bright red tart with lots of nuts…
Riddle’s Mother:
That’s just practically a lump of sugar! It’s not good for you, it’s like poison.
One slice will exceed your ideal daily carbohydrate intake.
Now then, today’s meal is a healthy tuna sauce with plenty of docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acid.
Oh, but the ideal calorie intake for an 8-year old is….
Do not eat any more than 100kg because each meal is within 600kcal.
Understood?
Riddle:
……. Yes, mom.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I’ve always wanted to eat a bright red tart.
Just like that jewel-like tart on the display window of a cake shop that I occasionally pass by.

Riddle’s Mother:
That’s all for today’s study on classical magic.
Prepare 50 pages on language philosophy in magic ethics that appeared in today’s study by tomorrow.
Now then, you will do one-hour self-study until the next study time of magic pharmacy.
Riddle:
Yes, mom.
Riddle’s Mother:
Your mother will be back an hour later, since I have something to do for a bit.

Every kind of study was packed in minute increments. Every study time was extended if possible.
But, this was my “normal”.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Riddle:
……. Is someone knocking on the window?
Trey:
Wah, he came!
Chenya:
Hey~, hey~. Pla~y wi~th u~s!
Riddle:
Who are you two?
Chenya:
I’m Chenya! This is Trey. Let’s play croquet together~.
Riddle:
Eh………. I can’t though. Right now it’s self-study time. I have to study.
Chenya:
Gramps told me that I could study for myself and decide whatever I wanted to study on my own.
Trey:
Isn’t it alright if you played with us for a little while?
Riddle:
Just, just for a while then……
Trey:
Can you tell me your name?
Riddle:
Ri, Riddle.
[Riddle Rosehearts].

Playing with Trey and Chenya was really fun. There were things I didn’t know or how to play.
I really earned a lot from the two of them.
From that day on, every day, I would spend the one-hour self-study to play out of the room without telling my mother.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Chenya:
Eh? Riddle, you’ve never eaten a strawberry tart before?
Riddle:
Yeah. Mom said it’s poisonous so I won’t.
Trey:
Well, overeating isn’t good but I don’t know about it being poisonous…
Hey, there’s a cake shop over there. Let’s go eat right now.
Riddle:
Eh….. but….
Trey:
If it’s only a slice, then it’s fine.
Chenya:
I wanna eat the entire hall of cake~.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A red treasure on a white plate. To me, it looked more dazzling and shiny than any gem.
–– That tart that I ate was really sweet and delicious, unlike anything that I’ve ever eaten before…
I admit I was crazy about it while eating it.
––– I’ve forgotten about it in time.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Riddle’s Mom:
Not only did you skip self-studying, but you also ate those lumps of sugar when you went out! How could this happen!
Those two tempted Riddle. I won’t allow you to play with those bad children ever again!
Riddle:
I’m sorry, mother! Forgive me, I won’t do it anymore….!
Riddle’s Mom:
Be quiet now! You absolutely cannot break the rules.
Aah, I knew that I shouldn’t have given you any free time. I need to manage and create more and more “complete” walls….
