The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

This is inside the Goldieva.

The old man Achilles was training for the wind spear flow, which is routine.

On the stone fold, rotate the toe to the axis while twisting the black spear holding it in your right hand and stretching it straight out.

From the basics of poking, carry out the "branch collapse", an applied technique of wind spear flow that repeats the poking and flushing movements while switching between the right hand, the left hand and the black spear.

The spear technique has definitely been raised even after he broke up with Shuya.

I don't think I'm an old man. I don't look the same.

Lefa, the girl who is hiding and watching that training.

It's the same daily sight of Goldiba as usual.

But, unlike usual, Refa nods and then approaches under Achilles, an old man wielding a black spear.

"- Grandpa, I want to learn how to behave properly!

"Give me my spear. I don't mind if I deal with the underlying mould."

"Yeah, I want to learn martial arts that I was heavily training with Brother Shuya"

Achilles looks a little troubled when he hears what Refa has to say.

"Do you have a mock fight?

"Yeah! I stole my grandfather's and brother Shuya's moves by spearing, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi, poking, Yi, Yi!

"Ha-ha-ha."

Achilles laughs happily.

"I mean it already, don't laugh!

Achilles laughs because he knows his grandchildren are hiding, using sticks and training spontaneously.

I know that, but for my grandson's sake, I had increased the movement of the foundation shape during the training I would do every morning.

"It's subtle to be able to say I stole it, but I know Refa is looking hard at it. But... it's not too early for a mock fight."

Achilles returned to a harsh look.

"Yep..."

"You can't have anything that doesn't even look like that on your face. Training in training paths comes first. Plus I still don't have enough physique. Now keep training the bow, only the spear is molded."

……

"You get it?

"Yeah."

"Low voice"

"Yeah! Okay, I got it."

Achilles scolds harshly, but his eyes on his grandson are a gentle expression.

From there, I'll stop training myself for the refa and watch the spear mould my grandson moves for you.

"The foot moves at different strides, look closely"

Achilles immediately repeated the basal steps, the mould of Nebu using a single-cut blade.

"Grandpa, you're moving so fast, I don't know"

"Sorry, for now, let's start again from the beginning"

"Yeah."

Refa performs a single-cut blade imitating Achilles.

Shaking her brown hair, the girl repeated steps that brought her toes to life as she danced.

"The movement is brilliant now. That's just watching me move."

"- Really?"

"Yeah, but don't get on with it, show the next move -"

Training with Achilles and Refa continues.

That's it for today.

"Yeah, Mother, I think I'm already starting to cook"

"I may be a little late."

"Ah, new popobum pills?

"That's right. Because a full winter begins. Apply good mesh grass and potion to the inner abdomen and head."

"I'll tell your mother it's gonna be late."

"Uhm."

Achilles nodded to Lefa, putting his spear on the platform and then walking to where there was a ladder leading down the cliff.

"Grandpa, you wish you had Brother Shuya now, didn't you?

……

Achilles showed upset at his grandson's sharp point.

Shake your shoulders a little, then look back.

"And the refa?

"Yeah, and about Master Lolo..."

The words were overflowing with drizzle.

Alexis smiles gently when he sees his tearful grandson's face.

And he approached the refa and turned his hand around his still small back and held him tight.

"Grandpa..."

"Shuya and the Divine Beast are out there... it's almost a year"

My grandson's back is definitely getting bigger.

And, realistically, Achilles thinks of Shuya and the divine beast Rolodine.

I could see tears accumulating in those eyes, just like my grandson.

"... became an adventurer, kept God Beast's promise, and had a lot of fun"

Lefa looked up at that Achilles face.

Nature and a drop of tears fall on my cheeks.

"Tears don't suit Refa."

Achilles stretched out his fingers with prominent wrinkles and wiped away tears flowing down his cheeks for him.

"... yeah"

"At least I think I'm becoming an adventurer..."

"Adventurer......"

"But will my spear help?"

"It doesn't sound like Grandpa! It was your grandfather who used Brother Shuya as a spear!

Refa stares adorably at Achilles in tears.

Achilles, who saw the face of his grandson sharpening his eyes,

"... hahahaha, it was"

I laugh, remembering Shuya and the figure of the divine beast Rolodine.

Refa was also caught and had her smile back.

"I'm sure he's still training spears."

Achilles shakes his head vertically several times to his grandson's opinion.

Nodding, away from the refa,

"... right, you're right. Even in his laughing and crying life, Shuya will continue to fight, train and freely strive to do what he wants... Come on, I work too. Tell the rabbi about the livestock."

"Yeah -"

Refa speaks cheerfully like a teenager, nodding.

He drove his brown hair straight to the landlord.

Achilles stares at the condition satisfactorily, nodding, then turning back on his heels and stepping down on the ladder at the edge of the cliff.

The look on Achilles' face as he descends is somewhere lonely.

And I have more gray hair and more wrinkles on my face than Shuya knew.
