Part 200: Maria's Question (Wrong Answer)

"Maria! Show some manners!"

I'd thought so hard before getting that answer, but Maria onee-chan just burst out laughing. The laughter broke off when Aunt Rosa hit her, but then she was grinning again.

"I don't get it at all. Just how hard was this one...?"
"Just about 20 picarats, I guess? Lots of the puzzles in this book are much, much harder!"

I don't know what a pica-thing is, but apparently, even this puzzle doesn't count as a hard one for Maria onee-chan... I hung my head dejectedly. Maria onee-chan kept on laughing until Aunt Rosa smacked her again.
