"Eh! Eh!"

With the voice of temper, Tifa pushes the palm that accompanies the curly straw.

Such desperation is also unbearable, and the curly straw is not to be slightly moved.

A little over a year after Yu and Tifa met.

The winter is over and the chills are loosening in March.

The usual park on that day, when all third-grade classes were finished and he withheld his advance to fourth grade a few weeks later.

Yu and Tifa continued their usual training in front of several galleries.

"... hey Yu"

"What?"

"The lady's doing it. What kind of training is that?

Bashram, who watched Tifa continue even to underdevelop in an attempt to use some moves, hits a simple question against his master Yu.

Karen, who likewise couldn't understand what Tifa was doing, is waiting for Yu's answer in some strangely exciting way.

Next to it, Bertilde glances at Tifa, who is failing, with the kind of eyes she sees even in her adorable things.

"That's training for a technique called shooting. There are many ways in which moves work and are used, but in Tifa's case, we teach them as moves to fly the opponent close to the distance and open the distance."

"It doesn't look like such a big move..."

'Cause you're underdeveloped.'

"No, well, that's right..."

All I can say is that if you look at it, you accidentally go into Yu's dialogue, Bashram.

What Bashram is trying to say is that even if the force subtracts what Tifa, who is all powerless, is practicing and underdeveloped, the behavior of the move itself does not look such an amazing thing in the first place.

"Can you really do that in that way?

"Oh, if you don't grasp the feeling that you can't explain with your mouth, it's something you can't use after years of training."

"... don't try to plant such moves for too limited a purpose..."

That's just the bashrum where Tifa gets pitied and puts that kind of penetration in.

There are many moves Yu makes to Tifa that you can't wear unless you grasp the senses.

In the first place, the fundamental story, usually at the point of being stepped in close range, is done before you deal with it, no matter what, whether you're a magician or not.

Only cases where it is certain that the defense will not be punched through in the first place, such as cases where it may not have to be done, such as cases where the defensive magic has thoroughly solidified the defense beforehand, or where the stepped side has challenged the full plate opponent with a knife.

Normally, it is more effective to make people remember to stand around so that they don't step in close range.

Instead of going further behind in terms of effectiveness and in the orderly sense of teaching, Yu's deviation is alive and well around teaching things that he doesn't seem to need to be forced to teach in the first place in a laborious and inefficient way if he does too.

"Hey, Mr. Yu. Are you sure you can do such an amazing thing with that?

"I doubt that, too. Finally, assuming you can blow your opponent up, if you're just going to blow him up, there's going to be plenty of other ways to do it, right? Whatever it is, isn't it too inefficient?

In response to Karen and Bashram's question, Hmm, Yu leaks a word and thinks.

Even in the meantime, Tifa continues to underdevelop.

"Right. First of all, Mr. Bashram's question is that he just doesn't seem to have any other use when it comes to Tifa, which doesn't mean he's just a move to blow it up"

"... I don't understand why you keep waking me up even in Mahi after I blow it up?

"Not that I can do, but that's a less mainstream use. Well, let me try. Tifa should take a look."

That said, I get permission from the park keeper to take out the winding straw, which is always in a discreet position, and poke it relatively shallow to the ground.

"Stabbing too deep to stand is a hassle at the end of the day, so I'll leave the depth at about this for now"

"Ooh."

"So, here's what I'm trying to get Tifa to do first"

With that said, I put my hands on the lightly curled straw, and dare to make a little build-up so that the timing is easy to understand, and then tap into the starting shots.

At the next moment, the curly straw is blown out loud at the same time as the flashy sound.

The sight will round the eyes of everyone except Yu and Tifa.

"... seriously, I blew it up..."

"... a rolled straw flies so far away..."

"... the magic wasn't working at all right now..."

Bashrums who say what they think about Yu doing lightly.

Next to it, Tifa indulges in what she just saw with some serious look on her face.

"... All right!

He seemed to come up with something as it was, nodding one and resuming his training.

Put your hand on the curly straw just like you did earlier, and at first glance shove your palm in just like you did earlier.

The curly straw swayed faintly, along with a small sound called mistletoe.

"... ah!

"You seem to have grasped the feeling. All we have to do is practice."

"Yes!"

Tifa replies happily to Yu's words.

After all, I seem happy to be able to do what I couldn't.

"... In the end, I don't know what happened, but is it okay that the lady can now base herself...?

"Well, you know what?"

"Oh, Tiffa. I could do it as soon as I saw the sample, how could you?

"Eh, I checked Yu's muscle movements and tried my best to imitate them"

To Karen's doubt, Tifa smiles and says something quite unusual.

In the first place, checking muscle movements from above your clothes is not easy for even top adventurers.

Moreover, Tifa is an anomaly in the dual sense, because normally there is no way that it can be imitated just by confirming it.

Apparently, the foundation has been thoroughly planted over the course of the year, and too many results have been achieved with enhanced sensing abilities in general as we practice further sensing of the mind.

"... I'm a demon killer, naturally, but Tifa keeps walking away from me..."

"Magically, it was strange whether or not it would fall into the human category from the beginning, so this is about it now."

Stab Todome by telling him the fact that Yu has no body or lid against Karen, who laments Tifa's current state of affairs as she moves away from him.

Bertilde, who watched with a bitter smile at it, undoes the subject.

"So, back to Bashram's question just now, what kind of use other than blowing it up is it? You said you could make him mahi, but it's not common, right?

"Hmm, right. It's a waste to break a rolled straw, so something else...... Oh, is this size stone easy to understand?"

In response to Bertilde's question, Yu picks up stones of extra size in one hand while saying noisy things.

While I have a bad feeling about that behavior, I'm going to keep an eye on what I'm going to do.

Apparently Tifa has noticed something about her grasping the feel of the move, and her face is obviously catching on.

"Ha!"

Getting attention from everyone on the spot, Yu gently throws the stone up and slaps a clap in from the side at the right time to fall.

Normally, the stones that were supposed to be bounced aside, regardless of the degree, made a dull noise and were crushed.

"In this way, another basic use is to concentrate the shock inside and tap it in without leaking any destructive force outside"

"This... goes to the monster, too, does it?

"Naturally. Biological or not, but if it's in shape, it's powerful, regardless."

"... the basic thing is, do you also have an application?

"Oh. Simply because it's just a move to control where and when shocks come in, and how they come in. Where it's relatively simple, you can tap it into your belly and do only damage to your back, or just penetrate the shock into two specific guts, around it? Even more difficult moves can resonate and amplify shocks inside, completely crushing only the guts and muscles without causing any outside damage."

"... don't teach the lady such moves..."

Bashrum hits complaints with his face on a move that is too noisy and gross.

"I'm just saying I can use it that way, too. It would take years for Tifa to have the opportunity to use it for that purpose, and to be able to imitate it like that in the first place."

"That's not the problem..."

To Yu's reply, no. Bashram throwing a spoon.

It's not a matter of not using it, but rather of wasting time teaching noisy moves to kids like Tifa if they do it for mastery, but no matter what the problem is, it won't pass on to Yu.

As expected by that bashrum, Yu, who obviously doesn't feel like he understands, also purposefully tells Tifa to remember his departure.

"I don't know what Mr. Bashram sees as a problem, but I only taught him the moves that would be best as a means of responding aggressively to an emergency?

"I thought that would be the place anyway, but it's too noisy for the best, huh?

"It depends on Tifa how you use it, but in the end, it's the moves you practice so repetitively that you can remember them with your body"

"I'm not willing to deny that opinion altogether, but you didn't have more moves..."

"It works instantly because it can be used even if you don't have as much muscle strength, and the motion is small and you don't need to build up strength. The difference is even greater if compared to the magic that requires chanting. At least I don't know the moves I can make right away with a smaller move than this without engaging in Qigong."

To Yu's explanation, Bashram still thinks it's useless to just say it.

There is no point in explaining the common sense and feeling of the public to Yu who are only educating themselves faithfully in the common sense, know-how, and rationality of the Iron Wall Knights everywhere.

Bashram and the other ordinary veteran adventurers are not convincing enough just because the way they educate is so much more than this in the Knights of the Iron Wall.

There are circumstances like that, and whatever else, it's not the first time Yu accepts the opinions of others regarding Tifa's training content.

"Give it up, Bashram. With common sense sidelined, Yu is probably a better mentor than anyone else in the Trion right now. However, the word" warrior's "comes before the leader."

"... well, if even the lady doesn't step off the road, is it barren to pinch her mouth to someone else's educational policy..."

Bashram is told by Bertilde to embrace reality by shaking his head left or right as he gave up.

Next door, Karen looks like she wants to know if it's okay.

"That's right, Karen. Very much more so now, can I ask you one thing?

"Uh, what is it?

"It's not a big deal. Usually it should have been time to do some scheduling to go to school, but don't you have to go today?

"No, it's really now, isn't it..."

Karen sighs in dismay at Yu's very now more questionable.

Normally, you should get confirmation sooner, but there's so much less interest in your surroundings that it's only too late to finally care.

"I'm sorry. I didn't care because it was usual for Tifa not to go through this time, but on second thought, Karen should have gone to school normally," he recalled by now.

"Well, if you're Mr. Yu, you are..."

"Keep it to yourself, but I tend to forget that Tifa's situation is special..."

"It's common for even us ladies not to go, so I don't even know Yu will..."

Bashram unexpectedly agrees with Yu's confessed words.

That tiffa and what you have to learn anew in college if you're in a new school year, so it's not like it's ever been, but I'm not even aware of that as anyone else.

After all, a habit that took about a year to settle is a strong one.

"In the meantime, to answer Yu's question, every school has been on spring break since yesterday, so you're off for about three weeks"

"Hmm. Tifa's, too?

"Yes, it's just that in my case, it's not much different than usual, so I'm not really here to take a break."

"Was it? Then I was even more curious, doesn't Tifa have to go home?

"" "Ah..." "

The three of Karen, Bashram and Bertilde align their voices with Yu's simple question, which I heard was rest, if you ask me.

Conversely, the questioned Tifa has a troubled smile about how she explained Yu's most questionable.

"A very decent and common sense point flew in from Yu..."

"Besides, it's amazing that we didn't notice..."

"I knew it was spring break, why didn't you think about it at all..."

The blatant Bashrums for putting themselves in the exact opposite position of normal.

Separately, not all of Yu's common sense deviates from public common sense, but it usually has a huge impact only in vain.

"Hmm. You mean there's something wrong and I can't go back inside? I'm guessing you're not confused with your family, are you?

"Yes."

"So it's a foot problem traveling to gold or home town?

"Yes. Uh, well, even to our village, there are few bus flights, and it's very expensive. or a little far to walk home..."

"Hmm."

Yu shows Tifa's words how she thinks a little bit.

I don't know anything about that, so I'm just gonna ask you a few questions for confirmation.

"I say it's far away, how far is it?

"Uh, if you travel along a maintained road, it's about half an hour by bus"

Yu leaks a word when he hears Tifa's explanation and says Hmm.

Thirty minutes by bus is a distance that at first glance seems impossible to walk, but given that it is a child's leg and the presence of monsters, I am certain to tread on both legs.

Tifa now is a healthy leg that cannot be described as a child's leg, etc. That distance would probably allow you to arrive in around four hours, just like an adult.

Monsters like those that come out along the road in combat capability can deal with it adequately.

But based on that, it can be subtle to do a yu that feels off around it and tell Tifa to walk.

At least, I'm just sure I don't feel like letting one nine-year-old go by himself if I make a mistake.

"Neighboring village, that's a long way to go."

"It's not so if it's a straight distance, but he said that the woods that are sandwiched between Alto and our village are a little problematic places to cut open and pass the bus, and that we'll have to go through the detour. I've been told many times not to go into the woods."

"I see. Even around Alto, there are places where troublesome monsters emerge for pedestrians and vehicles by the way, so I guess that's what the woods are like"

"Looks like it. And when I try to bypass the woods, I seem to catch a little hill, and even more, I feel like I'm bypassing it, and the road's getting longer and longer."

"Hills can sometimes spring powerful monsters. I guess we can just walk down the street."

Having understood the circumstances in Tifa's description, Yu identifies in his head the general location where the village of Tifa would be present, against the map of the surrounding area.

"... Hmm. When it comes to matching conditions, it's roughly there."

"... just talk about it now, you know?

"I can't get to the exact location, but the general position is. I didn't get my feet on it all, but once the terrain around Alto is tapping into my head"

"Mr. Yu is amazing after all"

"No, if you're an adventurer or a knight, I think it's fundamental to know geography..."

Yu feels subtly uncomfortable against Tifa, who sparkles her eyes with respect.

In fact, if you are an adventurer above middle-class, you generally know about the general geography of the city where you are based and its surroundings.

Unless you're a full-time scout or ranger, or even a veteran like Bashram or Bertilde, it's not enough to locate you in about Tifa's description, but still, it's not like a separate Yu proprietary patent on this matter.

Only this time, at best, there can be no element that can be called awesome, only as much as knowing geography like a veteran in a year.

"Mr. Bashram, do you know about this?

"Sort of. Anyway, if you run out, if you have a career like this or me, you'll soon know there's only one region that matches that criteria."

"Really?

"Yes, rather, some grasp of geography is imperative as an adventurer, and if you do it long enough, you'll learn more about it than that."

A supplementary explanation will be given to Karen while Bertilde affirms the veracity of Yu and Bashram's words.

"But if it's me or Yu's assumption, then your village is the village of Tortilla, isn't it?

"Yes."

"Then I guess I wouldn't recommend walking."

Bashram concludes so while thinking of terrain and monster distribution.

Especially this season, monsters emerge with slow legs but high fighting ability, around hilly areas that bypass along the way.

If I encounter that, if I let them go on foot, I will have to show Tifa and the streets, both sides.

"I don't have anything to do around there and I haven't stepped foot in it once, but what kind of monster does it get out? Exactly too far from my enemy range to know the details."

"Ahhh, well, from your arm, it's not a big deal. It's just that those woods are supposed to be populated by Crombard."

"If the chrome bird I know and the ecology are the same, it won't come out of the woods, so there's no problem with having a village nearby. Most of all, on the day you walked into the territory, you'd be hit if you didn't have that much defense and speed."

"That's the thing. That's why I can't tear the woods apart and make the shortest route."

To Yu's explanation, Bashram concludes that it would be the same.

Also known as the 'pioneer killer', Crombard is a bird that strikes relentlessly in herds against the remnants of their own territory, the forest.

He is caught up even as he runs on the ground at speeds exceeding two hundred kilometres an hour, and about normal metal protective equipment and armoured plates are troublesome monsters with mouths and hook claws that penetrate lightly and even use attack magic at the end of the sentence, but he has the habit of never coming out of the territory unless he can sometimes fly too high, or even be attacked by a demon god.

With this habit, it is safe to create villages and other nearby areas if we do not even go into the woods and continue logging outside the territory to prevent forests from spreading too far.

"Because when was the last time you left?

"Actually... I haven't been home since I got here because I didn't have any money or time..."

"Once, you mean you haven't been home in three years!? Tifa! Exactly. That's not good!

"If it's a financial problem, we'll do something about it, so you better go home."

"Well, it's not good that you're so small and haven't been home in three years."

"Er... I don't want to go that far..."

It gets wrapped up in subtle air, and when Tifa utters the word to excuse it......,

"Hmm... right. Tifa, you're off duty, so you want to come home with me?

"" "" What?

Suddenly Yu's proposal overlaps everyone's surprise voice.

"You look surprised, but if you can't get through or take a long vacation, it's not the distance you can't go home, is it? And yet, isn't it stranger not to even go show your parents your face?

"That's not where I'm surprised. I know Tifa's leaving, but why is Mr. Yu with you?

"I've been coaching exclusively for a year, so I should probably keep one of my greetings, right? And even though it was force majeure, I was twice involved in a battle with the demon gods. I'd also like to apologize for that."

Yu answers Karen's question now for a reason like this with an attitude that just doesn't say what's normal.

What are you unintentionally saying to that answer, Karen?

"I don't know, like half the men who go to get permission to marry."

"Is it this thoughtful and abrupt move to go get permission to marry?

"Are you aware that you're moving thoughtfully..."

Yuu hits the vertillde word for trying to tease Yuu with a big serious simple question.

Bashram really puts the right penetration into that Yu word.

Tifa is listening to such exchanges between Yu and the others in a somewhat less than full way.

For Tifa, Yu is a respected master and benefactor who picked himself up. That's why those thoughts are developing into romantic feelings, not so. To be more precise, Tifa is not physically or mentally mature enough to have enough emotions to be clearly called romantic emotions.

but as for Tifa, who is deepening her dependence on Yu every day, I don't have a problem with any relationship if she doesn't seem to have to leave Yu, so being applied for marriage can be a wish or something in a way.

It would be closer to how Tifa feels right now if we made the one, commonly known as' I'll be the teacher's daughter-in-law when I grow up 'a little more serious.

(Maybe Bertilde was a snake against Tifa...)

Karen, who was watching Tifa, thinks about that in her heart as she drips a cold sweat.

Unfortunately, the elders, Yu and the others, have not noticed how Tifa is doing, and they continue to interact even strangely.

"In the first place, Yu. It's too late for both reasons, so I figured you wouldn't be the reason to hang out with your little girl on her way home, would you?

"Well, that's like an excuse for an escort. No matter how smart you are, Tifa's got a lot of anxiety about getting you home alone."

"Say that first..."

Bashram penetrates like tired against Yu making a statement based on general common sense by the way.

Tifa, who heard that, asks a rather important question personally.

"Um, Mr. Yu. From Alto to our village, there are only buses leaving early morning and evening after very high fares..."

"It's not a big deal about that. The route through the woods wouldn't be that far away, so just hold the Tifa and fly. This would solve the problem that Tifa cares about, because it doesn't require transportation or bus waiting time, right?

"What!? Mr. Yu can fly!?"

"Exactly, there's not enough sailing distance to cross continents, but if you're from here to 'fallen ruins' or so, you can afford to fly while holding one Tifa and eliminating monsters, right?

"I knew I could fly, but can I fly that long..."

Yuu answers so lightly to Karen, who has asked the question out loud in surprise. After hearing Yu's answer, Bashram crushes as he pushes forward the feeling that killing demons is awesome.

Neither Bashram nor Bertilde are surprised enough to fly to the neighbouring village in charge of Tifa because they see Yu flying in the sky, albeit for short distances, during the first demon god.

but it just seemed unexpected that you could afford to fly to the fallen ruins, where you honestly show surprise.

For this reason, from Alto to the fallen ruins, it is roughly a little over a hundred and fifty kilometres at a straight distance. It would be subtle to see it as surprisingly close or quite a distance.

Around four hours by bus is mainly due to the fact that the road is not directly connected and the inability to maintain speeds of more than sixty kilometres per hour due to road surface problems.

You can arrive in about two days on foot because something like a dedicated sidewalk is in place, and along the way there is a transfer gate directly to the fallen ruins.

"If Tifa is afraid to fly, we'll also consider taking a bus, but what do we do?

"Um, Mr. Yu... if I work out, will I be able to fly any day?

"Oh. If you continue to train like this, you will inevitably gain the ability to fly, because there is usually flying magic even if you don't rely on qigong."

"Then I'd like to fly away with a preliminary exercise, okay?

"Okay. Then why don't we go as soon as possible?

"Yes!"

Soon after the surrounding humans pinch their mouths, Yu and Tifa decide to return home lightly.

As usual, Karen pinches her mouth in a great panic against the fact that the story goes on too suddenly.

"Hey, wait a minute! I don't know how much anything is too hasty or at least I shouldn't have contacted you about going home beforehand!?"

"Letters take time, letters and correspondence cost money. So you have no idea what you're saving on transportation for?

Karen gets stuck in words without knowing how to explain it to Yu's objections while he wants to say it's not that kind of a problem.

In the end, he decides that he cannot persuade Yu himself and turns his gaze to Bashram and Bertilde with a glimmer of hope.

"If you're going, be careful. Don't go in the wrong direction."

"A souvenir would be nice if you had specialties."

"Oh, okay"

"My village is a popular dish with honey sticks, so you bring back a lot of them"

Bashram and Bertilde say words like knowing or not how Karen feels and sending the yus out to relax like that.

"Huh? Is that all right with you guys?!? No, it's not!"

"Hey, it's Karen's lady. I'm not in the upper echelons, and I don't usually bother to contact you in advance when I get home."

"Yes, yes. In some cases, it's not uncommon for a letter to arrive later."

Karen is now completely silent on the opinion of Bashram and Bertilde.

Thus, Tifa's return was decided abruptly.
