Morning's End

 

 

I fully enjoy the dinner after getting out of the bath. And after I finished my meal, I immediately slept in the bedroom bed since I was so tired. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

And now it’s the third day when the morning sun rose in the sky.

After a light breakfast, we gathered at the same place as yesterday on the beach.

Maybe it’s because summer is about to come, and the temperature is warm even though it’s early morning. It will be hotter at noon, but since we will have easy magic training from noon so my heart is lighter compared to yesterday.

However, my body feels a little heavy, guess it’s due to the accumulated fatigue from yesterday. Whether my arms or legs, on the whole, I got muscle pain.

It seems to be the same with Sylvio-niisan and Eric, they looked to be a bit pained when we were warming up by doing the long training run.

Though it has become short in terms of time, this is going to be difficult.

After we finished the training run, Egar-san called on us to assemble so we run toward him and gather.

 

「For the short time we will have the morning training of swordsmanship today, I will compress the content of our training」

「We are just going to do the same thing but, let’s try to be mindful and improve the points of reflection we told you all yesterday as much as possible. You will not be able to correct them all in a day, but it will be different if you constantly fight while being mindful of that. And also you can steadily put them into practice if you thought about something new. And this is training after all so don’t be afraid of making a mistake, do your best everyone」

「「Yes!」」

 

After receiving encouraging words from Egar-san and Nord-tousan, today we also train by sparring as they call our names in turn. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 

「First will be Eric and miss Eleonora」

 

The first names to be called are Eric and Eleonora-neesan.

Aaーahhー, to be called suddenly with Eleonora-neesan, what a pitiful guy.

 

「……do your best」

「Humph, I won’t lose too soon like yesterday」

 

Even when I looked at him with a pitying gaze, Eric didn’t care about it, he confronted Eleonora-neesan with his wooden sword in an impressive manner.

Ooh, guess he had left the matter of the bathroom yesterday behind, huh? Eric’s figure seems strangely refreshed.

Though Eric won’t be able to beat Eleonora-neesan, perhaps he might be able to proceed to do his best today――

 

「Hobaaa!?」

 

And so I thought and was watching him, but he was blown away at the second exchange.

Ooh, he can keep up an exchange longer than yesterday.

……Eric, it’s not much but you’ve grown.

As I slightly nodded at his growth, Eric got up from the ground somehow while being covered in sand all over.

 

「Ho, how can you make a downward swing from that angle? That doesn’t make any sense. You normally can swing your sword from such a posture, right」

「It’s not you can not swing them. You can!」

 

Eleonora-neesan decisively and bluntly says that toward Eric’s doubt.

No, Eleonora-neesan, I think Eric wants to hear about how he got thrown off before, not that kind of nonsensical concept.

However, being able to have that sort of way of thinking and being able to do something like it’s obvious is probably Eleonora-neesan’s absurd strength. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 

「It’s not that I can’t swing them.....so I just do it?」

「Right. If you decided that you will not be able to do it from the start then you can’t do it」

 

Eleonora-neesan, I wonder if it’s okay if those words will return back at you as a boomerang when it’s time for the magic trainingー.

While Eric is overwhelmed by the unreasonable strength and remark from Eleonora-neesan, Sylvio-niisan and Luna-san are fighting in my peripheral vision, the dull sounds of wooden swords and a shield clashing resounds.

Looking at the situation, Luna-san is incessantly attacking with her flexible movements like yesterday, while Sylvio-niisan is defending himself with the shield and sword waiting for a gap.

Certainly, when it comes to Luna-san, it’s about to what extent she can change her attacks and movements. On the other hand, Sylvio-niisan is defending Luna-san’s irregular offensive, sending a counter when he notices a gap, at other times he will skillfully use his shield to get close to her.

He fought with Luna-san many times yesterday, so he had accumulated experience to some extent, but Luna-san is making up a new style of attack according to the situation to go beyond that.

I’ve kept watching them since some time ago, but there are hardly any attacks that have the same pattern. Even if there was, that was a feint, or the timing was slightly different, or the attacking sword trajectory itself was completely wrong.

The pure speed and power that looks as if they are similar to Eleonora-neesan’s are dreadful but, the sword attack sent out from the same form was also terrifying. It’ll be difficult to deal with them if you can’t predict what kind of attack the opponent will swing at you.

However, Sylvio-niisan frantically receives all those attacks. He defends himself after frantically determining Luna-san’s movement that makes full use of her supple body which is different from an ordinary person.

I guess he’s planning on waiting for the opponent to show a gap while defending himself over and over again without sustaining fatal wounds.

Luna-san’s movements are swift and they have a lot of momentum.  He’s probably going to attack the opening when the opponent got impatient.

If it were me, I would have already done so.

The sound of sword against sword, sword against shield resounds.

Luna-san - who is attacking yet can’t connect her attacks - looks a little impatient.

I don’t know if that impatience materialized in her wooden sword, but the attack toward Sylvio-niisan became a large swing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Sylvio-niisan doesn’t miss that chance, he let that attack slide along his shield and slipped into her chest.

 

「……kuhh!」

 

Ooh, it’s the technique of approaching the opponent using a shield Egar-san taught yesterday.

 

「Goー, just like that Sylvio Bash!」

 

As I raise my voice and shout like that, Sylvio-niisan thrust out his shield.

Then it hit Luna-san’s chest and she got blown far away――not, she did a backflip and evaded the momentum.

Maybe, she jumped backward herself and evaded the impact before the shield hit her.

The distance between Sylvio-niisan and Luna-san widens and they are having a face-off again.

Maybe it’s because they match each other’s strengths, the both of them are giving their all. They’re going to be unable to endure until noon if they keep doing it in such a high pace fight.

 

「Next up, Al and Eleonora」

 

Then Nord-tousan called my name as I watch absent-mindedly at Sylvio-niisan and Luna-san’s training.

When I look at that place, there was Eleonora-neesan looking at me with a fearless smile on her face.

Haa.......I’m gonna end up rolling around on the beach again, huh.

I start walking with my wooden sword while sighing.

Won’t it be time for magic training soon?

 

 

 

 

 

「It’s finished at last」

 

The sword training during the morning ended without incident, I cleaned off the sand on my body and fall down to the sheet as though collapsing on top of it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Since we will have a short training in the morning today I thought it would be much easier than yesterday, but it was more tiring than I imagined it to be.

The spar was going at a higher pace than yesterday, and the break time was also short.

And just as Egar-san said at the beginning, they were increasing the intensity of the training since time was short.

If the practice were to continue for another hour, no, even thirty minutes, I would have probably also been knocked down today.

 

「Al, you should eat lunch first if you want to take a break」

 

As I’m enjoying the comfort of the shade on the sheet, Elna-kaasan taps me on my waist *ponpon* while telling me that.

Honestly, I don’t feel like eating that much because of the heat and fatigue, but it’s better if I properly have my meal anyway and the freshness of the meal will drop if I don’t eat them quickly.

So I sluggishly got up and sit down like yesterday.

Immediately after, Mina and Largo brought a similarly large basket.

 

「Are we having sandwiches again?」

 

Eric said that the moment I thought so.

We won’t complain that much even if we are having sandwiches again, but it would be a little unsettling for Eric - who was used to eating sandwiches. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Then Mina turn around and cheerfully declared.

 

「No, we have onigiri today!」
