I picked up the morning before I left. I don't think I've had a blur since then. Maybe you just haven't noticed, but if that happens, don't hide it. I stabbed your father in the nail so many times, he'll be really fine.
Today is about the same schedule as yesterday. Wake up in the morning, your father picks you up in your room, takes Aska to breakfast, then pinches a break and trains. Your father's training is also tough again, so you're pretty tired. Aska was almost as rough as her breath along the way, but she didn't just throw up weak noises. It's Eli!
But this is a lot easier than Brother Juma... because Brother Juma doesn't know the word reluctant or careless. I need you to tell me that I can't do this anymore. I regret to say I can't do this one over here, so I'm going to do it until I fall in the end.
"Okay, so that's it for training. You didn't root up either of us well for two days!
"Oh, thank you - thank you, thank you..."
"Huh, looks tired"
Continuing yesterday, we sat on the spot sweating, having been trained until we were hello. I was listening to your father's advice in that state.
"Aska is growing, so you should still weirdly not muscle tread or anything. More than that, you train to keep moving like today to improve your basic health. Power comes at will as it grows. Race pattern Sometimes it's better to work out from an early age, but in the case of elves, it can be rather counterproductive and physically disruptive along the way."
"Oh, my God..."
"Now practicing even the handling of witchcraft and building strength. Take the next step for the first time when your body is ready. With all the training we've been through, we're going to stretch."
"Wow, I get it, I get it!
The body of an elf isn't much different from a human being, is it? It would be tough if you couldn't work out and lose height or distorted bones or hurt your muscles. Looks like your father's advice worked well for Aska, who was training somewhere grumpy. Good.
"Meg... you know you don't have to tell me, right?
"Ugh... build strength no..."
"Ooh, that's all I got. Because I'm a lot less physically fit than a normal child... magic is like an asshole."
Ugh, that's annoying! Something this extra magic won't do to your health. Different quality? That's right. It means you shouldn't try to have fun. Dull, good luck.
It is time for lunch, where I also breathed and dressed to refresh my sweaty body with life magic. Hamburg meals are set for lunch today! Demigrass sauce is delicious again! Asuka seems to have fallen for rice after coming here. I'm eating my eyes sparkling. This is the one who will miss rice when he returns home...! Or you eat really well. Envy.
"Rice suits any kind of freak, doesn't it? You can have as many glasses as you want."
"Aska must be growing up - I guess. Don't fuck it up."
Your father smiles and looks at Aska. I wasn't that much of a eater when I was a ring, so I guess it feels good to watch my kids eat a lot that looks delicious. Wow, I feel like eating, too. I just can't catch up with my stomach......!
"Father, what's your job this afternoon? Another clerical job?
I'll ask your father when I'm done eating everything. They say we have to stay close to your father while we're here. Whatever, when there's going to be a magical outburst, so we can deal with it right away. I'm kind of sorry.
Still, I have to do my job, so I'm going around about your father. Yesterday was administrative work in the office since this afternoon, so I thought I'd check to see if it was the same today...
"No, I have to go outside a little bit today. It's not that far away, so follow Meg."
"It's okay to follow you, but where are you going?
When I asked, it was apparently not really that far away. The place is Zubali, the beast car station!
Participants will assemble locally during the competition. Because some people would be asking for it at that time, and because we all got together and traveled a lot, we decided it would be pretty tough. Unlike trains and planes, there are no vehicles that can carry a lot of people. Up to fifteen people may be the limit or something.
When that happens, when the tournament is near, you won't be able to rent a beast car, what can happen? There are other beast car users, and that makes it annoying for people who always use it or want to use it on other errands. He said he was going to talk about getting rid of it.
Incidentally, the directive "go in a way that doesn't bother people" has been issued by your father that the participating members of Ortus head to the local side at an early stage, or that the sub-people who can fly can go on their own. I know it's Ortus around where that can be done lightly, but I'm also proud to think I can name a superior because of all the consideration given to the people in the city.
"Oh, so I can see Mimina?
"Mina? Oh, that's that camel kid"
And speaking of the Beast Car Station, it's Mina. You even saw Dr. Rudd when he went to the grave, didn't you? She was so cute helping the store even though she didn't tongue!
"Then don't get bored."
"Yeah! Now I think I can talk to you slowly. Let's also check out the play tools."
While your father and the store owner's general are talking, it looks like the other employees will be doing the store number, and maybe Mina and I can play. That's what I think. I'll check the toys in the storage bracelet. Contains balls, stuffed animals, building blocks and a set of decoys. By the way, it's all a gift from people in charge of forging and decorating. Glad you took care of it! Maybe I can give it up to Mina because I would hardly use it anymore except for my favorite one.
"Nice. Sounds fun..."
Yes, I was. Aska didn't have any plans for the afternoon, did she? I just can't get away from your father......! Then your father tells you there's no such thing.
"Hmm? So Aska's coming too?
"What, okay?
"Nothing good. It won't be fun to follow, so you were supposed to leave a message, but I don't mind if you want to go. But don't go anywhere on your own.
"Sure! I'll be right with Meg! Yay!
It makes me kind of happy this way to Aska, who is happy with both hands up. When I look at these places, I think I'm just a child. Innocent and cute!
"I want to be with Meg for a little while longer"
However, when I say a line that sounds like dictation like this, the flushes are a lot grown-up and I have a bit of trouble reacting! I'm gonna be thrilled for a good face. Is it because my thoughts are your children that I'm still a child?
"Shit, if that's what you decide, I'll just go! Meg, why don't you tell Saura we're going to Aska, too?
"Ha!
I lower the dishes and reply with my hands up because that's what your father told me on the way to the hall. Dishes? I can lower them myself. Yikes! Your father gave me a ride because I'm still a little short on where to put it. That's fine because Asuka was the same. I am one of them. But I think it's a lot more dangerous to carry. Probably.
"Oh, I'm coming too -!
Aska hastily followed me as I tried to make my way one foot while your father put the dishes away. Same destination. That's why your father's following you from behind! Aska took my hand subtly, so the two of us hold hands and walk forward. Because when you run, you hit people! Walk early!
"Hey, Meg."
"Hmm? What?
I was playing with a light bumble-connected hand, and Asuka, who lurked her voice just a little bit, called out.
"I don't really know what's going on with Meg... Meg, it's okay, right?
Aska asked anxiously, looking very worried. I guess I'm kind of guessing. Because all of a sudden I'm going to go to High Elf's hometown for medical treatment. I don't know what condition I was in yesterday, but I guess it looked weird, and I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry, take it easy. But I'm sure it's okay!
"Really?"
Asuka still seems anxious, even though she smiles and answers while making and showing her strength with the hands of those who are available. Kobu, you don't... oh, you don't?
I know. I know, I'm not kidding. But I don't even know if it's okay. I saw it a long time ago, laughing happily ever after. Only my predictive dream of growing up is sure to be the one element that I can tell you will be fine. However, that has also shaken my suspicion that my special physique is not a predictive dream.
I wonder if that future is what my aspirations have shown me.
"... I believe you"
"... you believe that?
So I temporarily stopped relying on such uncertainty. I snorted and showed Asuka laughing back.
"Get everyone in Ortus. Everybody's trying to help me. You're doing all kinds of things for me. That's the member, right? Don't you think it's amazing?
It's too dishonest not to believe that. Most importantly, I can honestly believe it. Unconditionally believable. Because it's family.
"So it's okay. Aska, believe me, I'd be glad to wait."
"... yeah. Really? Yeah, okay. Believe!"
We smile at each other. I think there's something about Aska that's still hard to believe in in the real sense. 'Cause it's still a little while since you came to Ortus, and you're not incredibly involved with everyone.
So one day, Aska and I will be like real family, I wish we could be one of Ortus. I smiled with Aska and put my thoughts on a lovely future that might come one day.
