Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

20. Resting is also among the training

A week has passed since I started training for Illis.

From the early morning onwards, the way she encouraged archery often became visible.

A dormitory dedicated to instructors exists in this school.

I let him sleep there, but he never came to wake me up in the morning.

Just practice what I tell you. Iris has never questioned whether this audition makes sense.

Does that mean that Iris trusts me - no, he trusts my strength?

Slashing only visible objects is something that anyone with some strength can do.

But this time the opponent is beyond that level.

What Iris needs today to defend himself is the ability to become aware of the traps used by assassins, for example, as soon as possible.

If we can do that, Illis will surely be stronger.

I just had a few problems.

"Huh..."

From the home room in the morning, I can see that Illis is making a small stretch.

As a result of encouraging archaeology from the early morning, Iris seemed to be disrupting his usual pace of life.

He says he doesn't have to, but from the character of England, he'll practice even in hiding.

I never lost focus in a swordsmanship class, but a report came to me that I was napping in another class.

It is only natural that I receive such a report because I am in charge, and the problem is that I also have the cause.

"Mr. Iris, haven't you been a little impotent lately?

"! impotent, is it? Nothing like that..."

After school, cut it out that way to Illis before he starts auditioning.

Naturally, Illis would deny it.

For her, this much archery isn't impotent or anything - getting up early in the morning to do sword archery is what she said she was doing with Aria.

Lately, he hasn't done any archery with that aria either.

So I also got more chances to get Aria to play the game while I was in class.

… it is time to take note of this once and for all.

"I think friendship is important, too. Deepening interaction with classmates as well as Aria. I'm at school because of you."

"I'm not here to play."

That's what I'm saying, and I'm going to start arching soon, Illis.

After all, he seemed anxious about the lack of progress.

There is no reason for her to be in a hurry, as in bare gestures and matches, in order not to gradually see results. If that's what you mean, it's also possible that it's not the right training for Illis.

(It's only an audition that comes from my knowledge, and it doesn't necessarily mean someone else can do it, does it? It's hard for my master, too)

... Nevertheless, I'm just not going to properly teach you anything more than to put on an archery.

First of all, it's an audition to make up for what's missing for Illis.

I just have trouble getting her down in that archery or neglecting another class. Mostly me.

(Besides, it's my view...)

"Mr. Iris, let's take the day off from archery"

…… What do you mean, off?

"This is one of the archaeologies. It is also necessary to rest your body efficiently. Of course, it is necessary by the case to work out thoroughly, but this is not something like that. Condition management is also important."

"That's right..."

It was Illis trying to make an opinion of something, but the word one of the archaeologies apparently stabbed her well.

In fact, Ilis, who has trained in swords, would know. Some are in better condition to grasp.

"- So why don't you and Aria there have some tea?

"Huh...?

I get a slightly surprised look at my words. [M]

I had almost erased the signs by perfection, but I had noticed.

Aria was watching Iris and I in the vicinity.

From behind the trees, Aria reveals herself.

"Aria......!? Why are you here..."

"I've been training alone lately, so I was worried. He won't train with me in the morning..."

"Ah..."

Aria says that with a slightly obstinate look.

Quick story, I guess it means I'm lonely.

It is also for Iris to rest his archery, but at the same time for Aria.

Iris and Aria seem to be close, and it would be necessary to be friends.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Well, the teacher is going to teach me the sword..."

"Yeah, I know that. Teacher, I'm strong, so I can tell you to teach Illis."

Aria looks sleepy and glances at me. [M]

She's also a pretty high category if only she's strong enough - and she can snort what Illis makes her archaic counterpart.

If that's what you mean, maybe it's better to be with Aria than with Illis to make arrangements.

(Well, there's going to be more people to teach when Aria gets involved too...)

"So I will also arch with you next time"

"What, Aria too?

"Eh."

I was more surprised than Illis. [M]

Two gaze at me. [M] With the bewildered look of Illis, and Aria's unchanged expression...

"Nice, Dr. Alta."

I feel something like pressure.

The distance of Aria approaching softly is close.

(I spoke to Aria to give Mr. Iris a break, but I didn't know this was going to happen...)

Look at Iris.

You can't even say no to Aria from the Iris.

Then it will all be my decision. [M]

Compared to Illis, I could feel the atmosphere that Aria was going to be braking something better.

"... Phew, I get it. At Aria's level, there's nothing I can do to teach you. But don't spread the word, okay?

"I won't spread the word. Secrets Just for Me and Illis"

"I'm here too - well, leave that alone. So I'm off for the day, Mr. Iris. Have some tea with Aria."

"If that's what Dr. Schweitz says..."

Iris has the same look he was convinced of, but he also seemed dissatisfied somewhere.

"I didn't get a quick nod when I asked..." I also think I heard him say small, but let's not touch it there.

Because I thought it would help Iris grow rather than teach Aria.

"Oh, before that"

Say it like Aria remembered something.

One, when he stood in the woods where the fallen leaves were scattered, with a short knife taken out of his pocket - chopped the fallen leaves out of his sight.

…… A, can aria......!?

"Well, that's about it."

Aria looking at Iris with a freckled face.

"Heh... yes"

When it comes to Illis, his voice is also shaking with a very regrettable look.

... Please, I want it to be a brake in the direction of resting rather than stirring up Illis.

That's what I thought, but maybe it's for the irritation of Illis.

A lot of things have become more troubling for me.

(Besides, I think Mr. Iris would be better able to do better if he were both Mr. Iris and Mr. Aria...)

At least, Aria has experience in action, unlike Iris - something that made her think so.

Nor is that the kind of level that ordinary humans experience. Do I need to check it out?

"Well, it's the teacher's fault, so let's have some tea together."

"No, because the teacher is going to sleep"

It's not even sundown yet.

"The teacher is busy looking like this."

"Are you going to sleep even though you're busy...?

I'm not wrong about that question, but I have the job of looking around at night. [M]

It's not my job as an instructor, it's my job as a knight.

Another week of assassins targeting the lives of Iris - it's about time we set something up.
