Lunch was delicious probably because I moved around.
There were shrimps and grapefruit salad, baked fish with mushrooms and garlic toast with carrot soup.
Wonderful, what a rich cuisine!
“I wish I could create such dishes”
When I muttered this to myself, Claire started to speak to me without looking at me.
“Shall I teach you? It’s a more feminine hobby than swordsmanship.”
“I would like to do that when I’m free.”
I responded
“The sesame buns Claire makes are unrivalled after all.”
“Haa……”
She stopped eating and held her head.
“What on earth happened for it to turn out like this?”
When Elizabeth appeared in the dining room our conversation came to a halt. She immediately came towards us with a bright smile plastered on her face and began to speak to me.
“The reading permission for the magic books has been granted. Shall we go to the library in the afternoon?”
“Ah, yes”
I immediately nodded and headed to the kitchen counter with my empty plate.
“I’ll do it!”
Though she didn’t finish her meal yet, Claire quickly stood up while being still being upset. I laughed while shaking my head.
“I can do this much. Quickly eat and then let’s go to the library together.”
“Young lady……”
Claire muttered in utter amazement.
“That was somewhat masculine……”
Rude! That’s only the appearance, the appearance!
But I’m thankful that there is something we are able to do. If the only thing I could do was to wait for the administration of justice to arrest Gray I would end up getting depressed.
Though I was defeated by my sleepiness while I read the magic guide book chosen by Elizabeth in the library this afternoon.
The magic language is quite difficult. And the magic formations are for some reason constructed with a combination of that, so I have no other choice but to read and seriously learn it.
It would be a little more fun if I could learn it while using it. I have to be patient until the permission to use magic is granted – -.
And then the sandman came.
From tomorrow on let’s read in the morning and practice swordsmanship in the afternoon. Even if it was a fake sword I swung for a bit, I was tired……
Swordsmanship is interesting after all!
From the next day on, I entered the dome in the afternoon on a daily basis.
At first I would just practice the sword with my doppelganger, but soon I looked forward to observing the people coming and going on the practice grounds.
Is that person really good with the sword? Is that a person who is good in handling bow and arrow?
An especially tall blond man caught my eye.
While I peeked at him I thought that he had some amazing muscles and he seemed to be skilled in martial arts. As soon as I finished that thought he and a man I believed to be his friend started a sword fighting match.
What’s more, outside of the dome, with real swords.
The one that I believed to be his friend had lower physical strength than that person. It felt like this was supposed to be training for said friend. Observing that swordplay and light dodging I tried to memorise their movements.
Soon those two people finished their practice, the friend left the practice grounds and Mr. Muscles entered the dome.
“Young lady?”
Claire who just set quietly in the corner of the practice field called out to me, but I put a finger up to my mouth to stop this conversation from continuing.
I just wanted to approach the dome to continue observing him quietly.
He held a great sword in his hand. He lightly swung it around though it seemed like he did it earnestly.
The doppelganger appeared holding a sword which was one size bigger than the great sword he had.
When the sword fighting match began I was surprised by the lightness of Mr. Muscles’ movements.
Even though his body weight should be heavy. Thinking about such rude things, I motionlessly stare at him for a short while. At that moment Mr. Muscles lowered his sword and turned his line of sight towards me.
“Ah, don’t mind me”
I waved my hand in a hurry to press him to continue his training. However, it was natural to be discovered, it’s unpleasant to be observed while practising, I should leave the dome.
“Gray Sterling”
Mr. Muscles looked down on me while laughing slightly.
“It’s Ariel Augustine”
I furrowed my eyebrows. I didn’t know how much he knew about me.
I would be content as long as he knew I was just a harmless person. I’d like to continue observing him as a model if possible.
“Incidentally, I heard some stories about what kind of person you are.”
“That’s……”
Should I tell him that it’s a relief?
While I was looking for words, he smiled wryly.
“Do you need a training partner?”
“No, I’m still training with the doppelganger as good as I can.”
“Let’s do it together”
I hastily shook my head.
“I heard everyone was busy. Besides, investigator Edgar told me to ask him if I didn’t understand something.”
I felt sorry for disturbing Mr. Muscles’ training, that’s what I thought.
Magical Law Enforcement Investigators were without a doubt really busy. I saw Matilda and Edgar both only at night.
Elizabeth didn’t seem to have to work outside a lot, so she keeps me company in my reading but as soon as someone would call her she would disappear.
“No, I’m free for a while”
Mr. Muscles scratched his head energetically and laughed brightly.
“I just finished my covert investigation. I have to stay inside the Judiciary Station until the people concerned forget my looks”
“Covert investigation……”
Though I don’t really understand this, but does he have something like vacations now?
When I was at a loss and fell silent, he held out a hand.
“I’m Alex Gilroy.”
“Nice to meet you.”
I shook his hand.
Because I’m not experienced with this kind of interchange I don’t really know how to react to it.
Alex looked a bit tough. If he kept quiet he would emit a powerful force. However, he surprisingly looked very friendly when he laughed.
“My sword skills are better than Edgar’s”
While he whispered this in a low voice he urged me to enter the dome
“Thought as much”
I enter the dome while answering with a wry smile. Then he entered the neighbouring dome and recited some kind of incantation.
Mr. Muscles’ – – Alex’s figure immediately appeared in front of me. It appeared inside the dome I had entered.
Huh?
As I was surprised and looked inside the neighbouring dome I saw Alex and my doppelganger standing there.
If I look carefully Alex’s body in my dome seemed slightly transparent.
When I was surprised about or doppelganger changing places Alex began to speak.
“Because I don’t want to injure you, let’s do it like this for the time being.”
“Thank you”
I gave him a smile and imagined the sword I always use for practice.
It is a slightly shorter sword. It’s light and easy to swing.
Before I held it I lowered my head towards his doppelganger. Then after the doppelganger lowered its head I held my sword.
The result was obvious, the difference in skill was like the difference in strength between an adult and an infant.
“Well, not bad”
While having some breaks in between I made him practice with me.
Then while I was resting on the floor he called out to me.
Even if it was just flattery, I didn’t mind. Rather I’m too thankful.
“Though I’m a little curious”
Suddenly, I felt like his words sounded a little more serious when I looked up.
He looked at my body puzzled.
“You unexpectedly have some physical strength. Ooh, I see”
And it seems as if he understood something. I saw him nodding several times before I asked him.
“Is it that surprising that this body has some physical strength?”
“Judging from the looks.”
He smiled wryly.
“Well, how would one be able to kidnap women if you can’t use magic to strengthen the body?”
“Ah, yeah, now that you say it.”
It was a very unpleasant conclusion.
I sighed.
“Well, you’re suitable for swordsmanship. Go for it”
“Thanks for that”
I accepted those words and let words of thanks leave my mouth.
“Well then, want to go at it one more time?”
As Alex said this while entering the dome again I stood up.
First of all, Alex is certainly a good swordsmanship teacher. For now, I should only focus my consciousness on moving my body.
Lunch was delicious probably because I moved around.
There were shrimps and grapefruit salad, baked fish with mushrooms and garlic toast with carrot soup.
