I came to the Knights base with Faraes.

I'm here to train Celia.

Faraes, who came with me, went to the captain's office for work, so I'm looking for Celia.

If you think about it, you didn't decide where to meet. But perhaps, you should be in the training ground.

That's why I'm going to the training ground.

For a while, you walk to the training ground.

"Whoa..."

Then I could confirm Celia's appearance.

At the corner of the training ground, he seems to be waving his sword.

As I approach, Celia notices this one, too.

"Master!"

Celia, you kept me waiting.

"No, I didn't decide where or when to meet in the first place..."

"... oh, I'm sorry about that too"

After all, it seemed a failure not to determine the specifics of the meeting.

"No, the master is not bad. Thus, we gathered at the training ground..."

"Well, so is that..."

But Celia and I, we got together at the training ground, so let's just say this is a good place.

"Well, shall we start training?"

"Yes, thank you, Master!

Celia answers my words well.

This is how Celia and I started our training.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was watching Celia train.

Now, I'm interrupting my training and taking a break on the bench.

"Hmmm......"

In the meantime, Celia was twitching for some reason.

During my training, it wasn't particularly like that, but what the hell happened?

"Master!"

"Huh? Oh, what?

Celia raised her voice when I was thinking about it.

The expression is slightly different from the previous one.

Lost emotions are gone.

"Can I stop by for a moment?

"Yeah? Oh, I don't mind..."

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

Released from Celia was the question of whether I could stop by.

You don't have to ask me that, I wish you'd stop by, what's wrong?

"Master..."

"Celia......?

Celia leaned on me.

I'm a little surprised by the behavior.

I kind of feel like things are different than usual.

Celia doesn't get sweet often, but it shouldn't have gotten lost or tense like this.

It makes me feel a little uncomfortable around it.

"What's wrong...?

"Huh?"

"I don't know, I don't feel right..."

"... may be so"

That's what Celia answered my question.

Apparently, he was conscious, too.

"What the hell is wrong with you?

"The... maybe it's a little strange because I haven't had a master put up with me lately"

"What...?

I'm surprised at Celia's words.

I didn't know Celia was responsible for this.

But if you think about it, I feel you can understand that, too.

I haven't had a lot of trouble with Celia lately because of everything.

That may not force Celia to be depressed either.

"I'm sorry about that. Sure, you haven't been able to talk to Celia much lately..."

"Oh, no, the master is not bad. There was something I should have prioritized before me, of course."

"That may be..."

"So I just missed this"

"Celia......"

After all, Celia is a disciple who was able to.

He understood my situation and told me so. Nothing to be thankful for.

But for whatever reason, it's true that I couldn't make it up to you.

So for the rest of the day, let's try to use it for Celia.

"Then you can be sweet enough today."

"Oh, really? Well, thank you."

Celia smiles at my words.

I don't want to make you feel as lonely as possible to protect this smile.

"Whatever, you can keep your body a little longer. You're a little shy, aren't you?

"Oh, no, that's..."

"Yeah? What's up?

It was a word I let go of trying to get Celia to sweeten me, but I didn't get a very good response.

Did I make a wrong choice about something?

"Well, I have one question for my master... don't you smell me...?

When I was wondering, Celia mentioned that.

So, I understand what Celia cared about.

In earlier training, Celia was pretty sweaty.

That's why I care about my smell.

Even before, Celia should have cared about that.

"Nothing, I'm fine. I don't care about that."

But I didn't care about that.

If you're sweating, I was there, too, and it doesn't seem like there's that much of a problem.

"No, I knew I'd be away a little bit. It's embarrassing."

"Oh well..."

But Celia's gone away a little bit.

Celia herself seems to care more than I care.

However, I just opened it for about one arm, so I don't feel like that much change.

"Oh, yeah!

So Celia raised her voice.

Something came to mind.

"What's going on?

"Um... can I sleep next to my master today?

"Huh?"

It seems Celia came up with a story about the order in which she sleeps.

Not really, it's like talking here, but there's no people around, so I decided not to worry about that.

"Nothing, why would you do that?

"It's been a while since my master held me to sleep."

"Oh really..."

"Yes, Captain Faraes' pillow is fine, but I want to sweeten you to my master today"

Apparently, he wants to sleep in my arms.

Sure, me and Celia weren't in that situation because they just made me a pillow for Faraes.

In the first place, the only time I slept holding Celia was the day before I fought Celik, and I don't feel like I've done that since.

"Okay. Then let's do it."

"Yes! Please, Master!

Whatever it is, today, there will probably be no problem because Sona is supposed to be the pillow.

Most importantly, I want you to do Celia a favor today.

"Well, is it time to go back to training?

"Ah, yes. Okay."

It's been quite a while since we talked about that.

That's why Celia and I are resuming our training.

For some time afterwards, the training continued.

◇ ◇ ◇

Celia's training progressed and quite some time went by.

Me and Celia are getting very tired. Sometimes it's been a while, and it seemed a little overpaced.

"Celia, it's time to cut it up today"

"Huh? But we still have time, don't we?

"No, you should stop doing this any more. It's not a good idea to pack too many roots."

That's why I decided to cut my training.

Celia's right, it's always faster than time to go home, but it's rather not good to train any more.

"That's what it is...... then I get it"

Celia, you understand what I'm saying, and we're going to cut the training.

"So, what do we do now?

"... a little too much sweat and go home"

Celia asked me, and I answered that.

I thought I should sweat because I'm going to catch a cold if I keep doing this.

"For once, let's also tell Faraes. When I get home on my own, I don't know."

"Oh, right"

Celia snorts at my suggestion.

I want to tell Faraes that I'm going home because there are so many problems when I leave without saying anything.

So me and Celia headed to the captain's office.
