"Hmm......"

Tio, dressed in moveable private school athletic clothing, punches Shirley holding a hard, light wooden sword with both hands and holding the same wooden sword.

Take a flash from the upper level with a one-handed wooden sword that gives you the momentum to jump in. A wooden sword that makes a light noise and bumps into each other that Kang!, but the cutting edge of the wooden sword held by Tio shifted heavily to the side.

"Wow..."

"Ever... Dangerous"

Shirley took a one-letter vertical blow to the side. Tio was about to fall to the ground without being able to kill that speed, being flung through a momentum attack, but on the brink of it Shirley turns her arm around her thin hips and stands on the ground again without any injury.

The moment I'm taken by a wooden sword, I feel completely dominated by my movements. Shirley turns her cutting edge gently to Tio, who blinks her pussy and eyes.

"It's good to have momentum. Besides, I have no hesitation in punching in. Even in the eyes of their parents, Tio is equipped with the necessary elements as an avant-garde position."

"... sounds like it was easily prevented"

So dissatisfied, Tio grabs the wooden sword again and punches in. The aim is Shirley's knee... It's easy to aim at because of the height difference. If you hit it, it reduces the opponent's mobility. It's not fatal in action, but it's an effective blow in anticipation of a long battle...

"... that?

"But you're a little honest. If you put the whole picture in your sight, you'll be dealt with no matter how quickly you move."

I thought the sound of the wooden swords hitting each other again, Tio was pillowing Shirley's wearing boots without pain and rolling on his back.

"Now... what have they done?

"What do you think you did?

"Mmmm... tell me"

"No, you can't. Thinking about it is one of the workouts."

Tio jumps to bounce and distance himself from Shirley. Tio rushes out toward Shirley again as he is ten years old and only slightly impressed with his inner agility as if he were a rabbit.

Shirley lays her sword gently without panicking against it, but Tio puts the power of the Spirit into his right leg he put forward on his way to pack the distance, accelerating sharply in the first step and approaching Shirley.

"I showed you at an athletic meeting, my shrink... I didn't know you would embody it in that little body based on the reason I taught you before... you're a great talent as a child"

Listening to such praise...... Tio had lost the wooden sword he should have gripped hard, if he had noticed.

……

"But not yet"

I looked around in a hurry wondering where the wooden sword had disappeared, and what a wooden sword I had earlier in Shirley's hand. To that fact, Tio accidentally stares at Shirley half-eyed.

"Maybe... did you use magic or something?

"No, I used a technique called karate knife."

Shirley replies with a bitter smile to Tio, who says he cheated.

It is a bare-handed technique to take away the opponent's weapon, also known as serious blade removal in Eastern island countries and merchant countries. Shirley pinched Tio's wooden sword with three fingers without rubbing, and with a twist of his arm took the wooden sword from Tio's hand.

"Isn't that magic? Can you use it on me, too?

"... I'll tell you, I won't tell you, will I? Training is a dangerous move for a major injury premise."

"Mmm."

"Well... you can't have anything that doesn't even look like that"

Tio, returned with his stripped wooden sword, glances up at Shirley with a groan, but such a daughter's gaze did not reach her mother, who turns away desperately.

"Ha... I thought you'd hit that earlier"

"Heh heh... if a kid just started waving his sword hit me, I don't have a standing up either on the boulder"

Well... what the hell are you two doing? It is swordsmanship training as you can see.

Shirley also changed her mind a little this past year after being involved in various incidents. Until now, I thought I should protect myself no matter what, and the idea is fundamental to her now.

But wearing the art of self-defense is a good thing, and the skill acquired will never be wasted, and in this noisy world it will lead to the benefit of both of us.

(Best of all...)

My daughters said they wanted to imitate my mother and be an adventurer. I'm not convinced that my daughters choose dangerous paths in my heart, but it's still the daughters themselves who decide their path at the end, and it's never up to their mothers to decide.

That's why Shirley also moves into action in anticipation of Sophie and Tio's unchanged intentions. I have seen many adventurers sign up for the guild with adults and die without being able to do anything about it, without any particular training before. In the case of a woman, there may be even more tragic endings.

To avoid such an end, Shirley decided to tell her everything she could... if her daughters made a genuine decision, she would spare no effort as a mother.

In the end, the only thing that parents can do to their children is to trust them and watch them.

"Mom, can I have a minute?

"Yeah, I'm going now. … So Tio, I'm leaving here for a little while, so stay within the moment"

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

With that said, Shirley unwittingly laughs at Tio, who grabs the wooden sword and slaps the straw prepared for practice in putting up the blade properly. He is a very muscular apprentice in a slow motion that confirms the sword muscle, based on his enthusiasm and the fact that he is taking a break, while preventing his strength from draining.

(Well, I can't deny it's been a sweet way to teach while I'm at it)

Shirley remembered when she was training Kyle, Cood and Leia. I have a sense that I'm doing it pretty hard without being an active adventurer over there. Injuries are normal, if you show a gap even for a moment, you will beat them with the momentum to kill them and make them understand what to do with experience.

That's how much I have to teach the battle. Whether they are close opponents or not, they should want their hearts ghosted and uncompromising to keep their disciples from dying.

(but...... that's also a hard thing to do when you're dealing with your daughter)

Let's be clear, even if he took a 10-year-old other than his daughter as a sword apprentice, Shirley is confident that he can be tough enough for his apprentice to escape at night in one day. But when the daughters it loves become opponents, there is great emotional resistance.

I understand I have to be tougher than I teach, but I can't beat my daughters up like the Kyles, at least for Shirley right now. At the very least, we need to go through stages over the years.

(Right... one year... no, two years... three years... five years... when we mature together physically and mentally after about ten years, in the form of a real fight...)

Speaking of my own children, I cannot be ruthless towards my disciples... it is Shirley's immediate challenge.

"Thank you for waiting, Sophie. So, what's going on?

"Yeah, it's this magic formation..."

Written on prepared paper is a modification of a typical elementary magic technique that Sophie invented herself without taking anyone's teachings (...) in action.

In contrast to Tio, who already shows a single scale of talent as an avant-garde position, Sophie shows a single scale of talent as a magician with the diligence and speed of comprehension she has before her.

There are also intricate arrays of symbols and tattoos, such as the original sorcery ceremony, which is a substitute that would be too difficult for a teenager if he were not a patterned child on that path to want to renounce understanding itself, but Sophie has developed herself on the axis of witchcraft previously taught by Grania and is using it on a daily basis.

"What do you think? Are you doing good?

"... yeah, right. I was wondering if there was a problem. You've done really well."

"Eh heh... I did it"

Sophie was happy to be stroked in the head, but the expression clouded unexpectedly. I followed the end of my gaze wondering what the hell was going on, and there was a figure of Tio waving a wooden sword there.

"What's wrong with Tio?

"Hey, it's nothing! Never mind, Mom."

"It didn't look that way."

"... ugh"

Though he hastily tried to fix it, Sophie begins to expose her potpouts and mood, thinking it was already too late.

"... just for a moment, I envy Tio... I'm anxious"

"Envious and anxious, is it?

"I still don't know how to fight, but I do somehow understand that Tio has talent like his mom. I feel like I can be right strong for that, but I don't have that... extra because my majesty as a sister has been shaking lately... huh?

That's the normal emotion everyone can have. It is only natural for a person to be driven by anxiety and haste that when someone around him or herself has grown up, he or she will be able to do the same. If that were my sister, I would still be here.

"Right...... I've figured it out since I started training for a while here, but Tio looks like me in that respect. It's also true that there's something that makes you feel like you're going to accomplish it. … but"

Shirley tells Sophie with firm confidence as she looks at the sorcery ritual she wrote.

"You have such a talent for witchcraft that I, Tio... I feel that way."

"... Mom, haven't you said something appropriate to comfort me?

"I hate it, but I don't flatter this hand."

Fact is, Shirley hasn't said a word of flattery he doesn't even have in mind. Because...

(I only understand less than half of the adventurers, a child who understands the activation ceremony without chanting has no talent... I can't even tell you that my mouth is torn)

Magic in action is practiced in one theory and in two. If you don't understand the contents of the procedure correctly before you stand around, you can't even activate it, and it's critical that you have the mental ability to accurately recall the procedure even in extreme conditions. So whether or not it can actually be done is different, but in the first place, the unchanging technique is even more complicated than the technique with chanting, so I specialised in the rear guard, starting with the magician... of which I understand very little except the skilled one.

One of the depths of witchcraft that adds dozens of special procedures in addition to the basic ones. Though elementary witchcraft commonplace that, I never imagined I would fully understand even the unchanging technique.

"Truth be told, I learned magic by taking a canary master, but it took me about February to fully understand the unchanging technique, even though I received detailed commentary from so many magicians"

"Huh? Really? I kind of understood..."

Sophie of how much talent she is showing and how she doesn't really understand it.

"When I tell you to be confident, you won't be convinced if you don't have a sense of reality. But Sophie and Tio have just begun to learn magic and swords... it's too soon to be anxious or confident. You can be anxious about the future after you've built up drills for a while now and compared yourself to your surroundings. It's not too late to decide what to do afterwards"

"Hmm... if my mom says so much"

As a rule of thumb, it's too early to worry about how talented you are that you're still only in the amateur domain. It was Shirley smiling to give reassurance when she heard it and saw Sophie smiling a little troubled sunny.
