The maid, Eve, took a breath after finishing a tasting of what Ashtalotto, the castle's demon king, had said about a different world dish.

When you look at the cooking room window, there's no sun, no clouds, no blue sky, and fury.

"There, the pretense is late!!!"

It was the voice of instruction during Hijikata's three-year-old training.This wrath was not unusual, it was everyday since the third year became the commander of this country.After carefully washing the dishes he used, Eve sneaked towards the anger.

"80, 81... there was too much force on my shoulder!!"

"Ha, yes!!"

It seemed to be making all the soldiers pretend to be wooden swords.It was a preliminary way to raise a wooden sword of the same weight as the sword used in battle to the head and swing it down according to the earthly directives.The people who are trained there are different races from the demons, subhumans, and humans.It is the human youth who is receiving attention now.He keeps pretending desperately.

"98, 99, 100!"

The loud noises stopped.At that moment, those who breathed and sat on their shoulders continued.When he looked at the three of them, he opened his mouth.

"Aww, wow! It's a drill when you hydrate."

Those who were in trouble stood up immediately, and when they drank water with the momentum of rabbits, they were paired together, and began to strike with their wooden swords.

Kann, kann, kann.

and the creepy sound began to flow in a good rhythm.

Are you here again?

The third year old, looking at the soldier, shouted in amazement at Eve, who was in the shadow of the corridor adjacent to the training ground.

"Yes"

"I've told you many times, you don't need swordsmanship.Even martial arts. It's not for us. You can help the Devil with your head. "

"... I want to be by your husband's side.Even on the battlefield. "

"Lady, it's hard to fight while protecting a woman.Besides, think about when you couldn't protect yourself.What does your husband think? "

"That's why I want to learn.Your husband is perfect.Perfect, but something unexpected could happen.For that time.... "

…………

The third year old looks at Eve with only his eyes without changing the orientation of his body.It connects a worthy look with a straight and sincere look.

Maybe you'll let me practice, and Eve, who thought so, won't let go of his eyes until he's three.A short glance seemed to have continued for a long time, but I ended with a sigh of three years old.

"Oh, my God, you're so stubborn."

Ah! Well then!

"Even so, what does my husband think....."

"Please keep it a secret from your husband."

That's an impossible wish.

"... Tacuan"

Eve, who thought he would refuse, threw out a concealed ball.The third year old, who did not move slightly until now, moved with a twitch.

Takuan - Sawaan is the food of a different world that Ashtarotto the demon king studied in his previous life, the food of a country where Hijikata was alive.After drying the roots of the daikon radishes, it is said that they will be soaked in seasoning in barrels for more than a month.Eve didn't miss Ashtalotto saying she wanted to try it once.I began to soak Sawan based on the unique process I heard that day.

Did you say Sawan?

"Yes"

…………

Today, it's finished.

…………

Three years old chewed his lips and shot Eve with a sharp glance.But Eve didn't move at all.

…………

…………

"... do you want to eat it?"

"... eat"

Even the Shinsengumi, the man called the deputy chief of demons, was no match for the taste of home.

"Don't tell me to let go!!"

Three years old gave the trainers a glance, and Eve smiled at the victory.

"Show me the knife. Sorry, I've never used a knife before.Let me guess. "

Yes!

Eve showed her three years old when she took out the knife.

"Stab it, whether the sharpness is good or bad.If it's the length of that blade... yes, if it's in the shape of a human being, then it's Mizo, if it's a bastard, then it's the throat. "

The third year of age pointed to the area to explain it clearly to Eve.Eve put his hand on his cheeks and throat.

Pigeon tail and throat?

"If you stab me, I can't breathe.I don't care about the heart, but there are many people who don't touch the bone and make it deeper. "

"... that's Samurai."

"Do you know what it means to be a samurai?"

"Master taught me."

"Hmm? Well, that's fine. I'm sorry about the demons, but I don't know.You're more familiar with weaknesses than your daughter.A cousin with no bones and thin muscles. Stab it there for now. "

"Okay."

"Now, get used to the weight of that knife.Move it in your hand. That's all. "

"Get used to the weight....."

"I can get used to it. I have to keep training my skills, but getting used to the weight makes the orbit harder to shake."

Eve gripped the knife hard.

"If I get used to it....."

Boom!

The moment I thought I heard a strong wind cut, there was a three-year-old fist in front of Eve.Anyone who understands. The fist trajectory went straight without bending.Actually, it is difficult to stick your fist straight out when it looks simple.And even amateurs can't hold their fists tight where they want.Because there is no extra movement, ordinary people can only recognize that their fists moved in an instant.Eve couldn't see the exception, and he took a surprising step backwards.

"Put your fist straight out..."

"... I couldn't see."

"That's right, it's gonna take some time.I can't be right now.Well, if it were my husband, I'd be able to do it right away.No, it's beyond me. "

"Your husband is a genius."

They laugh at each other thinking of Ashthalt.A wonderful demon king that can be respected by Eve and the third birthday.Eve put on a knife.

"Now, when you've finished your training, please come to the canteen."

"Alright... hey, you and I didn't hit that many times.Even if you can't keep up with the speed, do the numbers right!!I don't know what to do!! "

The third year of age put the training firmly at the edge of his eyes even during his interaction with Eve. The fury flies.

Once again, three years old led the way, and Eve returned to the rest of the business.

By the end of the day's training, the third year of age appeared in the dining room with pride.Just as Ashtalotto's evening was ready, it was time for his next assignment.Three years old sat down, and Eve laid down his chopsticks, and put Sawan on a plate, and put it on the table.Senzo, take the chopsticks and put Sawaan in your mouth.I heard a crunch.

"... good!"

Praise flies, and Sawan on the plate is thrown into the mouth of three years old one after the other.Eve put Sawan on the plate every time he disappeared.Ashtalotto had decided in advance how much to eat, and I was going to serve it until it reached that amount.Eve thought it was okay because she was soaked in a barrel.

Eve's men showed up and Eve left the cafeteria just a few minutes to hear a brief report of the castle town. Just a few minutes.

When I got back, I said that my third birthday was a feast, and then I left the cafeteria just like that.Eve bowed beautifully to show her gratitude.Then I realized I was trying to move the barrel.The heavy stones fell on the floor and the lid was open.Step closer and peek into the barrel.

"That's not true....."

The sad voice echoed quietly in the cafeteria.The contents of the barrel were empty.Eve was shocked and couldn't move for a while, staring at the barrel.

Just a few minutes, just a few minutes.In that short time, all the barrels of Sawan disappeared into the stomach of a three-year-old.
