The seasons were twice, and me and Finn were twelve years old.

In the past two years, the body has grown slowly, and Fine's face, which was supposed to be looking up all the time, is in the same position as her own gaze.

Thin arms like twigs also grew to the ideal thickness to wield a sword with suppleness that held the muscles together by the training of the sword.

And I'm still practicing swordsmanship with Finn, which is my daily routine.

Finn, if you do that, you're gonna get slaughtered! You can't protect yourself with that move!

As we met, we found a gap in Finn's movements.

The accuracy of predicting the movement of the opponent increases year by year, and the movement of Phine, the only opponent in the village, is almost completely overlooked.

Those who have graduated and become adventurers are also placed in our sword skills at a glance. Each time they return to the village, they will be dealt with by sword opponents, but they will not be a decent opponent with arms below finn.

"Alfine, if this is--"

Fane jumped in and filled the gap, swinging down from the upper stage with that momentum.

But I had already missed it.

I dodged with my body and slammed my sword into the empty flank.

It's just a flow.

After seeing Finn's slash, he moved his body as he imagined, slamming a wooden sword into his body as he passed by.

"Guuu! Why!"

A wooden sword slammed into his flank, and Finn thumped his knee to the ground.

"Fern, that's not true! I can't see you! If you don't move faster, you can't escape the sword!"

If you encounter a monster or an adventurer that's stronger than me, you'll die from that blow.

If that happens, I can't stand it.

That's why I want you to be more firm. There's no point in living in a world without Finn.

She was frustrated and impatient that Fean's sword arm had never risen.

The reason for the frustration and impatience was that the words whispered in the head of the example made it stronger to be aware of the "world without Finn".

Just a little thought about "The World Without Finn," the surrounding scenery was closed to darkness, and I couldn't find the meaning of my existence, and my loneliness and fear made my trembling unstoppable.

To dispel such anxiety, I wanted myself to grow stronger, and I wanted Finn to grow stronger.

But Finn couldn't answer me.

In an attempt to relieve the frustration that had accumulated, I had been biting my nails, which had become a habit in the past two years.

"I mean, I can't get a single bottle from Alfine these days." Ah, I'm biting my nails again. I told you not to do that. "

Fine, who stood up with her hands on her flank, was paying attention to me, who was chewing on her nails.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's a habit."

"I know. When Alfine chews her nails, it's time for some anxiety or dissatisfaction." After all, you're not satisfied with my sword arm? "

Finn has been seeing me for a long time, so he seemed to understand me with a little bit of frustration.

"Even though I promised to protect Alfine, my height and sword arm are starting to make a difference, so it's pathetic." So, does that mean I'm here? "

"Why are you saying that!" I always say I can't do without Finn! "

Fine, who was troubled by something completely different from what she thought, unexpectedly became more vocal.

"Oh, that's right." I'm sorry, I've been thinking a lot lately. "

A life without Finn next to me is an unimaginable option for me.

Seeing that Finn was clouding his face, concerned about the sword's arms and height, his heart widened.

That's not true. I don't care about that at all! I just want Finn to be around all the time.

To do that, I'm sure I have a sword arm, so I'm just training Finn with me.

"You don't have to be so mean to yourself..."

I couldn't put into words the various emotions that swirl in my heart, and I bit my nails again out of frustration.

Alfine, my nails, they're chewing again.

"I-I know!" I'm done practicing today! Let's clean it up. "

Ah, yeah.

Even if I chewed my nails, my heart could not be relieved, and it was awkward to be noticed, so I decided to cut up my practice earlier than usual in order to deceive it.

"Finn, have you finished practicing your sword? When you're done, why don't you take care of the livestock with me?"

I need your help.

No good?

When I cleaned up the tools I used to practice, Finn, who was cleaning up the other tools, saw the other girls in the orphanage talking to me.

"Uh, wait a minute." I have to ask Alfine. "

Alfine seems to be busy cleaning up. Just you, Finn.

"Yes, Alfine seems to hate taking care of livestock."

Hey, let's do it together.

With the girls pulling her hand, Finn, who looked troubled, sends me a flickering gaze.

The fact that Finn's sword arm didn't come up was one of the factors that made him feel better, but more than that, the girls from the orphanage gathered near Finn.

I'm not very good at getting along in L'Oréal, but I'm isolated in an orphanage because I'm afraid.

However, Finn was popular with younger boys for his care, kindness and care, and with girls for his good looks.

Everyone is always gathered with Finn, who is always nearby, while showing them how afraid they are of me.

Men can still endure it, but when they see the same women gathering near Finn, it makes them stronger.

They're closing in on Finn again.

If you're in trouble, Finn can say no!

The three girls who were near Finn, especially the ones who were trying to get close to Finn, were constantly smoking at me and showing me how I was doing.

"Fine! I'll train you a little bit more!" You can't be an adventurer with your arm like that! Come on, get ready! "

Moyamoya became too strong and was driven by the urge to bite her nails, but she had just been noticed by Finn, so she patiently put up with it.

Thanks to you, my tone of voice got rough.

"Huh? Yeah. Okay, Alfine." I'm sorry, I can't. Invite me back next time. "

Three girls turned their gaze on me, seemingly unhappy.

Even when I received that gaze, I didn't mind and called Finn again.

"Finn, hurry up!"

Oh! I'll be right there!

I want you to say no to Finn! You're telling me that you'll always be there to protect me! I wonder why they talk to other girls!

Ahh, I'm so pissed!

Moya Moya continues to spread indescribably within me.

I feel anxious from the voice whispered in my head, and the Moya Moya spreading in my heart is getting worse year by year.

What will happen to me when I grow up like this...

Finn stays with us all the time. You're not going anywhere, are you?

While looking at Finn holding the wooden sword, I thought about myself in the future, but I couldn't find an answer.
