Dean Danton wore a belt and scabbard for a matching sword, and he always carried a wooden sword for three months.

The village of Lisburn, where the orphanage is located, is in a snowy season, with fewer people coming and going, and it's a quiet new year.

In the orphanage where such a new year had begun, I went with Finn with the sword that had become my daily routine.

"200! Phew, my body is finally warming up"

”Hahaha, Alfine, I'm breathing a little-”

"I'm sorry, Finn. I may have flown too far."

When I saw that Finn was out of breath and putting his hand on his lap, I knew that his gesture was fast-paced.

I enjoyed swinging my sword, and I didn't notice it because I was obsessed with it.

I always thought I had to be careful, but after all, I became obsessed.

"It's okay! Now that we have a break, let's practice our meeting!" I'll attack you again today. I'll definitely take one of them. "

Finn, who was able to breathe a little, stood up with his wooden sword.

There were no more graduates of adventurers who touched the sword, and the older children of the orphanage were no match at all, so they naturally started practicing swords with Fine.

Only the basic stance was taught, but I feel that it is enough.

As far as I'm concerned, it's more fun to wield my sword with one heart than to be good at swordsmanship.

I heard that Finn wanted to learn about various stance shapes and how to swing his sword.

The adventurers who touched the sword said that they would come again at a time when the winter snow was melting, so they were discussing how to get guidance at that time.

Seeing that Finn's breathing had calmed down, I stood my sword.

You can do it from anywhere.

Yeah, let's go then!

I sharpened my senses and loaded into my imagination the kenshin that Finn would roll out.

In the course of his previous practice meetings, he remembered all the sword muscles he had unleashed, so nearly a hundred came to his mind.

With the addition of nearly a hundred sword muscles and other possible sword muscles, we select the most likely hand to play out after considering today's physical condition and environment.

I'm exhausted at first today, and I'm sure you'll jump in to settle it right away.

Do I dodge, parry, or--?

Feeling a sign of movement, Finn immediately made a decision on his response and reacted to his body.

"Oh, Alfine!?"

"I knew you'd jump in, so I won't let you."

In order not to jump in, we blocked the distance ahead of Finn's move.

Fine's wooden swords crossed, and the force from the press began to compare.

With the sword in my hand and three months of training, my body was getting more and more powerful.

"I'm strong! But if this is it!"

Seeing that Finn couldn't do anything with his strength, he pulled his own strength and tried to break his posture.

"Then I won't take one from you, Finn."

Because of Fine's assumed movement, I weakened my pushing force and slashed towards Fine's hand as I tried to leave.

Ugh, the slashing is fast, but-

Finn gave me a desperate slashing look, but at this stage, there was no winner left.

When I pulled the pinched sword tip forcefully, I closed the gap and struck a thrust into the groove of Fein, whose defenses were neglected.

"You're lying. It's too early to see."

"Oh, sorry, Finn."

"It's okay. I always say I'm strong." It'll be all right. "

Holding down the trap, Finn, who had poked his knee, said that he was not worried, and tried to hide his painfully distorted face, and smiled.

When you look at that face, you feel as if you've done something wrong.

However, the people who could take my sword in the village, including adults, were all gone except for Phine, and I've been spoiled for the rest of my life.

"Let's do this today." It's almost breakfast. If you're late because you're practicing, Felia-sensei will be mad at you. "

"Oh, yeah. That's right. Let's do that. Let's practice again after dinner! At that time, I'll take one properly!"

Standing up, Finn scabbarded his wooden sword and paid off the dirt on his lap.

"Yeah, Finn, thanks for joining me for practice."

"Why do you say that?" I also want to be strong in swordsmanship, and since I'm actually getting stronger, I'm also saving my life. "

Do you really think so?

Oh, I need to get one from Alfine so I can protect it with my sword.

Being closest to me gives me a sense of security.

That's Finn.

When I started practicing my sword together, my thoughts didn't change.

"Finn, Alfine, everyone is waiting for breakfast, so put your sword away and come quickly!"

Dr. Feria, who was paralyzed by us not coming to the cafeteria, called us out of the window to come earlier.

Alfine, if we don't get to the cafeteria soon, we'll need more help.

"Y-yeah, that's right. Let's go!"

I pulled Finn's hand and hurried to the cafeteria.
