"Huh, huh, huh ..."
A girl running in the training area of the duke of Niles Terriers, short of breath. It was the duke's daughter, Minerva, who dressed her iris-colored hair in chinon and dressed in an easy-to-move pants style.
The first thing Aldis spoke of when teaching swordsmanship was the uselessness of clothes. It doesn't even run in the robe where the hem touches the ground. Aldis wants to be cold and change his clothes quickly.
Aldis commanded Minerva, who eventually returned to his residence to change his clothes, to run. That was it. Naturally, his followers start protesting, but Aldis doesn't listen.
"I told you first," I'll follow my practice as long as I study. "If you don't like my teaching, you can always remove me."
Certainly, he has an interest in Minerva, who has sensed the magic, but that is not what Ardis wanted and assumed. The real intention is to escape quickly if possible.
I don't intend to complain if this is really necessary for mastering sword magic. But I don't know that it is necessary to run for magic, so I hope you can understand that I'd be grateful if you could explain. ''
However, if Minerva asks about his intentions, he cannot help but answer as long as he promises to teach what he needs.
"Sword magic is an extension of swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is fundamental to swordsmanship, and is not pure magic. You can think of it as the essence of sword magic.It's just a street performance if you just control the sword with magic. It's faster to throw by hand from the beginning if you just want to fly the sword straight to the enemy. "
He says that he seems to be great, but the number of Aldis who can manipulate the sword freely is about 20 at most. Beyond that, you can reproduce only the same sword technique as a normal mercenary, and if you operate more than a hundred, it will be a simple street level performance.
"The original purpose of sword magic is to create a body with the same abilities as you. Therefore, there is no meaning unless the user himself knows swordsmanship. `` That's why they're not going to be very strong when they're added together. ''
"No way ... are you telling me to wear swordsmanship?"
Minerva opens his eyes with unexpected stories.
"Is that what you mean?-Do you want to stop?"
Even if the duke's daughter is a magician, even if she wears magic, her hearing will be bad. Especially when it comes to training in swordsmanship. If you do something bad like a daughter who swings a sword, you may be able to keep the marriage further away.
“……… No, I want you to teach me. Please teach me swordplay.”
Minerva, thinking for a while with her eyelids closed, looks straight into Aldis's eyes
"If you say run, you will run. If you say you can hold the sword, you will. I will teach you sword magic."
Aldis sees a decision that never shakes his eyes and begins teaching Minerva that day.
Then ten days and a little.
The first was from building strength. Until then, daughters who have been cherished and raised as butterflies have no physical strength to swing their swords. Run hard and get the minimum physical strength and strength needed to learn swordsmanship. That was a major premise.
Of course, it is criticized by the surrounding servants and servants.
"I will report to my husband all the time!"
An old servant, Holger, was first ordered to guide Aldis.
But, fortunately or unfortunately for Aldis, there is nothing from the duke, the owner of the house. The trifle Are you not willing to talk about Aldis's policy, are you too busy to care, or are you interested in your daughter in the first place? Aldis has no clue.
At the moment, Minerva's training is proceeding smoothly without any tea. Due to the growing season, he was strengthening every day, even though he trained once every three days.
With the hope of Minerva, Ardis brings Lona to the discipline every time. Apparently, Minerva seems to like the comfort of the first stroke, and after training, she enjoys Rona's coat as a whole.
Aldis wondered if she would hate Rona, but apparently she had spotted the attack on her daughter, Rona, in a day. The golden beast quickly descended to the daughter's gate with a cake made by the duke's chef.
"Rona. Today's sweet is chocolate brownie. Yes, um."
"Wow!"
Now Minerva himself has given herself a treat to Rona's mouth and seems to have been completely fed. A miserable buddy.
By the time he started swinging with a wooden sword after fifteen days, Minerva could have had some physical strength. At the end of his discipline, he rushed to Rona, buried his face in his golden body and began to enjoy the muzzles and fur.
Her servant Holger wrote, "I can't do it." However, her smile gave me a glimpse of the simplicity of the year, and Aldis felt much more natural than her first clear face. Although Rona looks awkward for a moment, she seems to be patient in eating sweets.
"Lona, I'm going a bit, so wait here quietly."
"Wow?"
What do you mean? Aldis was briefed and said briefly.
"The Duke wants to talk to me."
"Wafoon"
Hmm, I guess.
It's a sudden call from a duke who never used to. Aldis has a strong feeling of saying, "Now more." The daughter's situation may have been reported through a servant, and if there is a complaint, I do not know why she was non-interfering until now.
"So please wait for a while."
"Wow"
"Then I'll take care of Rona. Rona, the chef made many sweets today. Let's eat together."
Minerva pampers Rona with this good luck.
"Please don't eat too much sweets"
Despite his complaints, Aldis smiles annoyedly when he sees Minerva happily hugging Rona.
"Well, later."
After saying so, Aldis was guided by a servant and walked to the Duke's House.
At the training ground where Aldis left, Rona and Minerva were relaxing in a shady corner set up for a break. Melancholy Rona is happily cheering on the confectionery prepared by the servants, while Minerva is sitting down next to her.
Minerva sighed as she rubbed her golden hair with her fingers.
"Wow?"
Minerva replied with a embarrassed face to the screams asking what had happened.
"I thought about what my father was talking about ..."
Surrounding servants and servants are afraid of Rona and do not approach. Minerva speaks to Rona in words that the tutor lady would raise her eyebrows at a steep angle if she couldn't reach it in a whisper.
"Do you mean that you're not going to tell the story of the guide? Certainly, it's too bad to hear the daughter swinging the wooden sword, but nothing has ever been said ..."
"Waff ??"
"I don't think Aldis really wants to do such a job. Do you think children are whim and selfish?"
While rubbing Rona's back with her finger, her daughter, who doesn't even seek an answer, goes on.
"But, I want to be strong. I don't want the power to hurt anyone. I just want the strength not to get stuck. Unless I'm a helpless daughter who can't protect me ... Something that might not have left Talent or Leila dead ... "
The iris-colored eyes slightly shake. Minerva hugged Rona's neck and groaned to hide it.
"Everyone says, 'They were fine.' I played a great role as my escort, as a side servant. Even proud. If you're a Duke, you'd be honored for both. …… ”
Minerva's emotions, which seemed to endure his sadness, grew gently.
"I hate that ...!"
While buried my face in the neck of Rona, passion that daughter was not held down is falling down endlessly.
"You don't have to be good! You don't have to be proud! I didn't want them to die! There was nothing on the side, it was just good, but ...!"
Sobbing Minerva spit out of her heart.
From a distance, she will only look like she is hugging Rona. Only Rona, who was close to Minerva himself, knew his chest.
Minerva, finally calmed down how long it has passed, relaxes her arms and releases Rona.
"I don't want anyone to die for myself anymore. I want to be strong. At least I won't be able to stay in my hands. It doesn't matter if I'm told I'm not a daughter or not. I will wear it. "
Only the inverted triangular ears, wrapped in golden hair, receive Minerva's oath, who has no listeners, and reacts to Pikuri.
"Waffen"
Rona licks the tears left on Minerva's cheek. It was as if she had taken her sorrow and boosted her will.
"Fufu. Thank you. Rona seems to understand human language."
"Wow"
Mindful of Rona's reply, Minerva speaks lightly.
"Would you tell Aldis? Please do not forsake me because I'll do my best."
"Wow!"
Rona's roaring voice seemed to tell her to leave it to her.
