Outside the town of Polka, the trails close to the woods are the daily special training grounds of Angelos and Boyd.

There is a difference close to twice the back length, and to the thickness of the arm, the physique difference is so much that I think I already have about one arm of Boyd for the full weight of Angelos.

But that doesn't mean a difference in power.

"Boyd, if you don't hold on tight, you're gonna break the corner again....... ahhh!!

"Hino!!

Quick enough to say, Angelos, who stepped three steps away with enough ground to make a sharp jump kick in Boyd's face.

Boyd guards with his arms aggressively. But the anzero-skick takes a few steps back.

Angelos, back on the ground, is just a turning step. Run the ground like a snake, spin and kick the still fluttering Boyd's kakato to prune.

"Slightly."

By letting the center of gravity escape its legs in reverse, Boyd can do just the damage of jumping one foot up.

And swing your bouncing legs to rebuild your open body and backstep, landing forward.

To an even more impending Angelos, on the contrary, he punches back like a cannon.

"Nice!!

But Angelos sidesteps, flashing and dodging the orbit for three minutes in an instant.

This explosive step is a craftsmanship that cannot be done without prefabricating stride while running. Boyd's counter-attack timing and counter-attack tactics were read from the beginning.

And Boyd, who returns slowly in his arms for a certain amount of mass, can't handle Angelos' blow from it.

"Ha!!

Dogo, and an Angelos sobat is slapped into the dovetail.

Boyd blowing up with Kuno letters.

"Wow, wow, wow...!!

"Speed is good there. I think a weak demon opponent can inflict fatal injuries with the current blow. But you punch him. Kick him, he's too weak to go back compared to the power to slap him. Then I can't move to the guard after I hit it. The fact that the guard is sweet means you lose if you are shaken. It doesn't work for fast opponents."

Angelos is crawling to the ground. Comment on Boyd.

"Look, again. Be aware of your return. Hit your opponent while letting him escape at a difficult angle to attack. And don't be foolish. Just put up with it for a second, and the flow would have changed."

"Ugh... su, sorry, good luck"

Boyd gets up even though he's half crying.

Bare hands and then enough, thirty minutes with a wooden sword.

A tightly squished void is lying in the snow.

"It's snow..."

"There's a dry spot, so rest there..."

"Angelos, where the Ten Chiefs hit me, I'm going to jingle... there was a cold snow."

Boyd stopped moving to sleep as he did.

No, he's not dead. I'm not dead. I'm just enjoying the snow.

"But there's an overwhelming difference between swords and bare hands."

With that said, Angelos shrugged his shoulders as he untied the hair he was ponytailing.

"Of course not. How many years do you think I've been waving my sword?

"No, but your wooden sword and Boyd's wooden sword..."

The wooden sword for Boyd is nearly two meters long. And thick. Maybe I won't lift it.

And the Angelos sword is 60 to 70 cm.

There's a triple difference between swords just in length, and that's not half the difference in reach between arms in half elves and orgs.

This would mean that bare hands still look easier on each other terms.

But when Angelos gently waves the wooden sword he stands on, he lets it stand in front of him in the Ace Knight liturgical style.

"Dozens of centimeters to you, though the reach may just look extended. The swordsman holds the sword and completes it. Boyd is not a swordsman, 'Auga with a Sword'. I am the Swordsman. That's overwhelmingly different."

"Ha... I don't know"

"You also know that 'just an uncle with a tonkachi' and 'a blacksmith' are completely different from what you can do"

"... oh here comes the pin"

Certainly not. Not at all.

"... hurry up... you don't have to go as far as' Swordsman ', you're about a warrior with a sword..."

Boyd whines while buried in the snow.

Certainly quite different in Auga and Warriors. I don't feel more insulted about warriors.

"That's why I'm working out. Come on, come in the Spirit Springs when you're ready. I'll do it this afternoon."

"Huh..."

Boyd gets up with his sleigh and heads towards the hot spring fluttering with snow creeping all over his body.

"So, Angelos, what about Boyd? At least enough to get a good soldier in the infantry?

When I asked Boyd after he was blind, Angelos laughed niggardly as he rocked his ears piccolorly.

"That's about it, yeah. That guy, he can hit about a shock wave once in a while, right?

"Oh, seriously?

Even Ace Knight has few users, and a shockwave attack that the Sword Saints can't hit 40% either.

Even Aurora couldn't handle it until she learned from Sir Bonaparte and Angelos a year ago.

"That's pretty awesome..."

"Of course, I'm not at a stage where I can say I can still use it because I can't incorporate it into my tactics unless I'm stable when I want to use it. Boyd is too unfavourable to a large number of opponents because of his sweet protection. I'm teaching you because if you use the shock wave well, you can alleviate it a little bit. When you can put it out steadily, you can recommend it for the Ace Knight exam."

I'm willing to stick with the defense technology itself, but I say, that means Angelos is seriously trying to make Boyd ace night.

It takes a talented martial arts talent that is said to be one in dozens. It is normal to reach from childhood polished to talent, like Angelos and Isaac.

It shouldn't even be something you can turn to when you grow up.

"Is Boyd actually talented?

"Originally, an auga is a lot stronger than a human being, there are parts of it. Especially Boyd's strong will and good eyes like a crossbow soldier are the positive ingredients. Auga soldiers tend to fight cluttered battles left to their destructive instincts, but Boyd doesn't run that rambling because he's so willy, he can practice a clean standing around."

"... it just sounds like some plain talent"

"No, it's a rarity as an ogre. All you need to break through the Ace Knight test's Rock God Labyrinth is more endurance and efficient combat technology than simple attack power to keep fighting without disrupting the pace. Offensively enough, they say the auga is exhausted at the beginning, and retiring is a classic course."

I see......

"Besides, Ace Knight is realistically the fastest way for Boyd to be a ten-man. Unless it's like that, if you're going to be a ten-man in a normal course, it doesn't matter how hard you try, you're going to be strong for another five years."

"... Boyd, you said you could get married when you were ten long"

"Yeah. Well, when it comes to other HR, it's other HR, but it's pathetic to keep your fiancée waiting for five years, isn't it?

…………

Speaking of which, how many years will I have to wait for my daughter (who has completely proposed for Jeanne) who is willing to marry, including Mr. Deane and Selene?

I can't get married until I at least have a Med who can maintain my family.

"Marriage..."

Angelos will look at me with a serious face, and I will.

"Yes, no, you're temperamental, or whatever you want, I guess. We're not in a hurry because we have a long life span anyway... but Luna and all that... no, Luna's still young, so it's okay to keep her waiting for a while."

"It would be easier if you stick with me there faster, Angelos..."

I've been getting a lot of things lately that I don't think are worth it.

Let's weigh ourselves in.

And let's do our best.

When Angelos and I went back to the city, there was an unfamiliar carriage on the square.

"It's not a station carriage...... huh?

There are two or three kinds of station carriages that always come, so you can't go wrong. There's no way that the station carriage vendor has a new body.

Strange new and luxurious. Your identity is good enough to be seen clearly in the distance.

"What is it? Lord of the South, I guess."

Almost all of us from the Snake Mountains are baron territory, so at least it means we're from across the mountain.

"No, wait a minute, Andy"

Angelos looks strange and moves all the way to the side of the carriage.

Found something marked on the body of the vehicle, Angelos took a step back with his eyes open.

"Why......!?

"What's up?

"... it's the seal of the Sylphide Chamber of Commerce"

Sylphide...... is that definitely Angelos' home?

"Didn't you start to wholesale it over here? Sure, you're dealing with Celesta and Renfangas, too. About polka......"

"No, such a good carriage is not for the merchant at the end"

The carriage moves out.

Angelos flutters and walks out. I'm going after him somehow, too.

"That means I'm on that one..."

"... yeah"

When Angelos nods, suddenly the pitch carriage stops.

And the carriage door opens.

"Angus!!

Someone appeared as expected.

...... Linda Neumann.

As Angelos' mother, she is the president of one of Trott's leading major chambers of commerce.

"Welcome, Lord Linda of the prestigious Silfed. Far away."

"This is polite. Baron to a merchant."

Mr. Linda stopped at the city's best inn. While a line was checking in, he flew in as soon as he ran to the baron's mansion and spoke to the baron.

... No, maybe I didn't have to let you know, but when the big guy showed up all of a sudden, I thought I should let the baron know.

Should I go speak to Mr. Deane, too, or worried, but for now, I decide to watch the two of you say hello?

"I've heard rumors for a long time that Polka Spirit Springs is a miracle fountain for all diseases. Well, it didn't matter until now because it was all about sturdiness that didn't take one of the illnesses, but I don't have any hips or shoulders these days."

Linda grins when she looks at me and Angelos as she explains in gesture with her hands on her hips.

... maybe you grabbed us based here on some kind of information network, that one.

"Then enjoy the full, proud Spirit Springs of Polka. It is considered good to be exposed to trauma and good to drink for illness, etc. There are people all over the city called the Fountain Guardian..."

Angelos whispers to me in a small voice as he sees Mr. Linda lovingly listening to the Baron explain.

"... if you think about it, it might be natural for your mother to come out on this occasion"

"There's something about me, and I'm pretty sure I'm not old enough to get rattled on my body. But most importantly, to the trot these days... the elves are walking around fine, right?

"Oh, oh."

That's what I know.

"... my mother gave birth to me in love with an elf in such an impossible time. Naturally, I want to know the truth about what's going on. As a merchant, as an old trot."

"... I don't know"

Opportunities and confirmation of the changes in the times in which you were involved.

Besides, if my illness overlaps with my daughter's condition, the journey of a few weeks each way will be suitable...

"Nevertheless."

Finally, Mr. Linda turns her body to us.

"Neither Angus nor his son-in-law (Muko). Doesn't she look well? Looks as good as ever."

"Oh, uh..."

"Son-in-law..."

Angelos and I grinned face to face.

This is the arrow tip where we talked about getting married yet...

Mr. Linda has a strange face.

"I don't know, a face like that included. If you've already broken up and become a 'good friend', don't tell me you're making all that noise."

"Oh, that's not true. Yo!

"Wow, when we break up, it's crazy."

Angelos and I both desperately denied it.

"Then I'd like you to show me about your grandson's face early. Private Humans, I'm fine now, but I don't know when or what will cause me to colonize after fifty years."

Hmm, and Linda, who really sighs the right age.

"Uh... speaking of being there..."

"Oh, hey, Angelos"

"... Nani?

Make your eyes shine, Mr. Linda, on the words Angelos said with a bit of a loving laugh.

And.

In one of the baron's mansions, Angelos tries to hold Peter up happily.

"Eh heh... this guy, he's Andy's kid and he's Peter"

"Arnju......!?

"Hey, what, mother?

"I'm saying 'grandson'!? I don't care what she thinks, she's not elf-born!

The claim is very correct. Mr. Linda, you're right.

"So, but Andy's kid is like my son, and I'm going to have him call me Mom in the future..."

"You know, my son-in-law. My daughter, aren't you a little dumb and struggling?

"That reaction hurts, Mother!?

Leave Angelos alone looking stunned while holding Peter.

"I'm not going to be a son-in-law in Angelos, so could you spare my son-in-law?"

"That's it. I wonder what that means."

A little flattering, Mr. Linda. Beyond that, female slaves like Jeanne, Selene and Apple are clearly seen.

"I've told you before. Angelos is my woman. I'll take it."

"Heh. Don't tell me. You know what I mean when I say son-in-law of the Neumann family?"

Linda smiles a little scared.

"Isn't that why I belong to Angelos?"

"Oh yeah. Is that bad? And here's that stupid girl's, and she's still the parent of everything. Your husband, a female slave, what's wrong with wanting to make you a legitimate marriage, even if it's bait flickering, rather than purposefully defending your absurd relationship?"

"Mother!"

Mr. Linda blew it.

... and painfully poked at my relationship with Angelos and hence my lack of merit.

but.

... I laugh and hold Angelos for every Peter.

Make me laugh vigorously as I comb that hair with my fingers.

"I'm certainly a blacksmith child of this polka, nothing rich or nothing, and I'm actually a poor bastard who doesn't have a lot of money right now, and I can't even buy a house,"

I have a lot of women who still say they like me.

I'm going to like all those women.

"Angelos is... Angelina is mine. I already got it. I'm not gonna give it back to you again."

"Andy... ♪"

I don't think that's the right time to look very happy there, Angelos.

"... ha. For once, we can afford a mansion in the first class of Wangdu that can't even beat a castle."

Mr. Linda sighs.

"He's a stupid man."

Squeeze your shoulders.

It was Angelos trying to say something mucky, but Mr. Linda looked up and smiled before the words came out of his mouth.

"But it's our stupid daughter's opponent. Maybe so.... Really, look happy when Angus. You can't say anything about this."

"And naturally... I am, even though I am happy!

Angelos is a little cute being "me". I guess that's vegan for the mother counterpart.

... and either Angelos held him too hard or Peter cried out.

"Oh, ah..."

"Uh, uh, lend it to me, Angus. Totally... if you think you're a kid, you take care of it like that.... ho ho ho ho ho, it's my grandma, roll over"

Peter gets in a better mood as soon as Mr. Linda gives up.

"Oh, you look funny."

"Peter, I can't believe you stopped crying so easily... you didn't make me suck your tits"

To the stunned female slaves. Mr. Linda puts her hands on his hips, for Christ's sake.

"What, did you just milk her? If you don't, the kid's gonna get fat."

... I think it means something slightly different.

"Look, kids, they change their moods pretty quickly. You can make a little noise with a toy, you can't be shy."

but Linda, who teaches Peter how to yawn as a totally "grandmother," realized she was a very nostalgic and warm person.
