41. Martial Arts Preliminary. (One)

It’s about a month until the preliminaries of the Mutou Festival.

And today, that month has come in just a few days.

one month.

If it’s long, you can say it’s long.

It didn’t take too long to train Rin and Dagnes beyond a certain level.

It’s been a month that I don’t know if I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

Isn’t it my disgrace if I don’t get clear results after receiving my teaching?

So during that time I

In addition to my training, I literally rolled Dagnes and Rin to the point of death.

For example, like this.

As I looked around the backyard of the inn, a knight rolling on the floor caught my eye.

“… … Cale. I’m going to die, I’m really going to die.”

It is a sample of an honest article.

Even in the numerous trainings of the White Lion Knights, he had never once collapsed in the middle, even though he showed a tough look.

A sword that will not fall even at the end of its life for its master.

Dagnes.

He was rolling on the floor with a pitiful look at the title of such a poison species.

If someone from the duchy saw it, that would be Dagnes.

… … No, it was a tattered figure covered in dust to the extent that one might question whether it was a knight or not.

That figure is more than a noble knight… … .

Because it was more like a neighborhood beggar.

“The sword of defeat is not a sword that can be wielded with simple will. If you think of it as a universal solution that solves everything and neglect training, you will only be eaten by your arrogance.”

“I will be eaten by the training… … .”

A few weeks ago, if I said this, I would have woken up screaming.

Dagnes speaks back in a tone that would have shocked him if he had seen it about a month ago.

I could have just said something like that.

Even before my full-fledged guidance, he was Dagnes, who said he would follow anything I ordered.

Even if I had to add a little bit of exaggeration and throw myself into the fire, I would have followed the order.

But in just one month, this happened.

… … Is this growth right?

Of course honestly.

It was a little, a little bit of hard training.

But I’m not doing useless torture. That much I could say with certainty.

However, Rin and Dagnes are prosecutors.

This was a necessary process in order to break through the sword master’s wall in the future.

Among the highest level of experts, a level that surpasses the wall of a sword master.

Usually, when you reach that level, the eyes themselves will be different from before.

‘In martial arts, they say it’s called mind body. It’s roughly the same.’

Even if you attain enlightenment at the level of a sword master, you cannot become a sword master right away.

In order to reach the realm, it was necessary to fix the imbalanced body and physical condition.

And if you go there and try to fix it, you will literally go through a lot of trouble.

If you make a body for him early on, you won’t have to rebuild it from scratch later.

He personally reduces the process, but he doesn’t even know the grace.

Seeing Dagnes lying on the floor, I pointed at Rin, who was standing firm, and said.

“kyung. Isn’t Mr. Lin still standing while doing the same training as a police officer? I can’t see that mentality.”

“… … .”

Rin’s level is an advanced level that goes beyond the highest level of expert than Dagnes.

And because of that, Rin endured even more arduous training than Dagnes.

A body that has been built up to the mature state of the advanced expert.

Because I needed to completely tear it apart and grow it.

But isn’t Rin standing there without making a single sound of pain, let alone falling down?

The iron-blooded Empress of the North, who doubts whether a single drop of blood will come out when stabbed.

It could be called tenacity worthy of the name.

Let’s say it.

Dagnes, who was lying on the floor, looked at Rin and said.

“that. Didn’t you pass out standing up… … ?”

“What——.”

nonsense. I tried to say that.

fluff.

At the same time, Rin’s precarious body fell forward.

“Uh, Mr. Lin? are you okay?”

chin.

I barely managed to catch it before it fell over.

Rin’s body was slumped as if I was being held in my arms.

As if, as Dagnes had said, he had lost consciousness while standing upright.

“… … .”

Seeing that, I was silent for a while.

I must have really fainted.

hmm.

Should I call this a great obsession in a different sense?

Because it was a story about enduring with evil until right before fainting.

“… … The training ends here. A few days later is the preliminaries. You’d better do this and rest.”

“yes… … .”

At those words, Dagnes barely nodded and collapsed.

It seemed that he was barely tying the string of consciousness.

… … Today I’m going to have to put them both away, this one.

It wasn’t uncommon for both of them to pass out.

I thought that there were only a few days left, so it seemed that I had put more energy into it without realizing it.

I walked to the inn with Rin in my arms and carrying Dagnes on my back.

“… … Tsk. With that said, if you go to a martial arts festival and don’t get a proper result, you should be prepared. both.”

At least it won’t be as bad as it is now.

When I muttered that, I wondered if I had even listened to it unconsciously.

Dagnes, who must have fainted, shuddered subtly.

evening of the day.

“Ciella. What’s on the menu for dinner tonight?”

“Oh, I was going to try cooking chicken! What Master Cale said the other day… … chicken? After hearing about the dish, I wanted to try it!”

chicken.

Cale’s eyes lit up when he heard Ciel say that.

“Oh, I look forward to it. Can I expect a little bit?”

“Well, don’t expect too much. It’s my first time… … .”

Is ‘chicken’ the name of the dish?

Rin, who had been listening to Ciela and Cale’s conversation for a while, unconsciously swallowed what her mouth was trying to salivate.

Often, Kale would tell Ciela strange food, and after hearing the explanation, Ciela would cook the dish.

And usually because the food is quite tasty.

Although I’ve never eaten one. For some reason, I thought that the name chicken would be quite delicious.

It was strange to see a noble talking about something while watching the lady-in-waiting cook from the side.

It’s been going on for almost a month, and now it’s a familiar sight.

Let Rin stare at it in silence.

Cale, who was talking about what to do with Ciela, raised her voice and called someone.

“Sir Dagnes! I heard that the oil is running out, are you thinking of going to the market and buying some?”

“Oil? … … Oh, do you intend to cook the dish you said at the time?”

“okay. Go to the market if possible.”

Cale, who is not a knight apprentice, runs errands as if it were natural for a knight.

If other nobles had seen it, they would have been astonished at the current situation.

Unfortunately, no aristocrats here knew that it was strange.

“Lin, you don’t have to sit down already. It will probably take a while to complete.”

“… … Watching, I’m doing it.”

“ah. You really liked watching the cooking, didn’t you?”

Siela’s food is delicious.

That’s why watching her cook is fun while waiting for delicious food.

Of course, watching the food was also fun.

It was fun to watch Cale and Ciela’s conversation, so I sat down——Because the words were too long to say that.

Lynn nodded, then paused for a moment.

A subtle sense of heterogeneity.

‘Ciella. What’s on the menu for dinner tonight?’

‘Sir Dagnes! I heard that the oil is running out, are you thinking of going to the market to buy some?’

Siela and Dagnes. Unlike Cale talking flatly to the two of them.

‘Lin, you don’t have to sit down already. It’s probably because it’ll take a while to complete.’

Because I always used honorifics for Rin.

I knew that respect was an expression of consideration for the other person.

however.

Deep in my heart, in a closer relationship, I also knew that I used short words.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t he have a close relationship with Cale?

When I thought about it, I felt sick to my stomach.

suffocating.

Rarely for Rin, it felt like the rice wouldn’t pass properly.

It was a minor difference that I wouldn’t have bothered with normally.

Even until dinner, Rin’s head was full of it.

Time goes by pretty quickly… … .

Early morning on the day of the Mutu Festival qualifying round.

As usual, I woke up and met Rin’s eyes in the backyard.

“Oh, are you awake?”

nod

As if in agreement with my words, Rin nodded briefly.

I was the only one who practiced lightly from early morning.

Should I say that after Rin came, I felt like I had a comrade.

meet you from dawn From now on, it wouldn’t be bad to wake up Dagnes and pull the training schedule from dawn.

Since Mutoje is today, I won’t be able to do it for a while.

If Dagnes himself knew, let’s have thoughts in our heads that would be astonishing.

From the side, I felt a strange gaze.

Rin’s gaze flies towards me and sticks.

“… … What do you have to say?”

so ask

Rin, who was silent for a moment, opened her mouth.

“… … teacher. You don’t speak respectfully to your disciple.”

“… … ?”

what is that again

I, who couldn’t understand for a moment, understood Rin’s words after thinking about it.

For Rin, the teacher is me. And for me, the disciple is Lin.

But since I’ve been talking honorifics for over a month, it seems he’s been bothered.

It’s a way of speaking that seems straightforward, but is said in a subtle way.

It wasn’t like that at first, but it seems to be like that these days.

“… … ah. Can I speak comfortably?”

Let’s guess her words.

As if right, Rin nodded her head.

Because. I guess you’re talking half-heartedly, that’s… … ?

For some reason, the expression seems to be expecting a lot.

but.

I had a memory from the previous car, so I used honorifics for a long time for no reason.

It doesn’t matter.

For some reason, I want to play a joke on that expectation.

I said, hiding my smile.

“I’m still going to use honorifics.”

Saying that, Rin put on an expression as if the world had collapsed.

kugung.

A face like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

… … I couldn’t figure out what she was thinking. Where did the Iron-blooded Empress go?

Why are all the emotions read on the face?

I couldn’t hold back my laughter, so I laughed and said.

“… … okay. I’ll speak comfortably. You too, call me Cale.”

“… … !”

Saying that, Rin widened her eyes.

Inadvertently, I almost put my hand on my head, but I managed to stop.

It’s stroking Ciella’s hair, even if I can get over it somehow.

What would you do if you almost put your hand on your hair?

greatness.

I coughed for no reason and said.

“Come to think of it, Rin and I had different places to watch the qualifiers, right? 2 Was it the qualifier?”

“huh.”

Rin nodded as if she didn’t find it strange.

whether fortunate or unlucky

Dagnes, I, and Rin were all three different qualifiers.

I am 1 qualifier.

Was Rin the 2nd qualifier and Dagnes the 4th qualifier?

Since there are a lot of people, it is natural that there are many qualifiers.

“Well, I’ve told you several times. Do you remember the way to the qualifier?”

“… … huh.”

The answer came after a moment of silence.

It’s subtle, though.

It wouldn’t matter if I sent Ciela with me a little later.

Thinking so, I nodded.

… … And, I should have cared about this answer.

is Lin.

That he was a terrible pilgrim who had lost his way in the north and had come close to Reinhardt’s Mansion near the southern tip.

Time passed again, and the morning with only about an hour left until the start of the qualifying round.

Siela, who was looking for Rin, said in a shocked voice.

“Kale! Rin is gone!”

“… … what?”

… … in the instep.

Fire fell.
