Good morning.

Good morning, Al.

　As usual, I walked into the dining room to find all of my family members present, except for my sister Elinora.

　After we each finished our morning greetings with a few words, I took my seat while letting out a lackadaisical smile.

''....Haha, I'm tired from this morning too.''

　He exhaled loudly and let out a voice snatched by exhaustion.

　I plopped down on the table and saw brother Silvio's bitter smile next to me.

''You've been running with your sister since this morning too, haven't you?

'Yes. That's why my mornings have been so early lately. It's been a while since I've slept twice as hard in the morning as I can...

　Yes, since we practiced before, I've been running in every day like a horse driven by Elinora's sister - not like a horse driven by Elinora's sister, but under her grateful guidance and supervision.

　It's been two weeks since the last voluntary training?　

　Every morning I start running in. In addition, I practiced with Nord's father, and at noon, I practiced again with Elinora's sister.

　Anyway, I ran a lot. It was more than I've ever done in my life since I was reborn in this world.

But it's gotten you back into shape.

I think I'm back to the same shape I was in before I went to Kagura.

Really?

　I look up when I hear Brother Silvio and Mother Erna's words.

''Yes, there's a mirror over there, go look at it.''

　At Mom Erna's urging, I moved from my seat and looked in the mirror.

　There was a boy of about seven years old with terribly sleepy eyes.

　He was hardly as round as he was when he came back from Kagura. His jawline is sharp and he has no double chin. I tried to pinch his belly, but there was no flesh at all that I could pinch for nothing.

'Oh!　She's skinny!

　Is it because of the fatigue from running every day?　Your eyes look deadder than usual, but you're looking awfully thin all over.

'Al, what is Elinora doing here?'

　As I'm touching myself in the mirror, Dad Nord asks me.

'He's still running, saying he hasn't run enough. Won't he come back in due course?

　Sister Elinora said it wasn't far enough for me to run. I'm sure she's already gone to the village of Coriat once more by now, or maybe even to the next village.

'How far have we gone?　It's almost time for dinner...

　Mother Erna seems to be worried about her sister Elinora, but I think she is worried about her own hunger.

　We all have to eat breakfast together as a family, so we can't have breakfast until Elinora's sister comes home.

　I've been running since the morning, too, so I'm starving. I don't know how far I'm running, but I hope she comes back as soon as possible.

I'm home!

　As I was telling Brother Silvio about the course I've been dashing on these days, Sister Elinora came back.

　Just hearing her voice makes my spine stand up in vain, is it because I've been trained to run in these days?

　Elinora, you know, she gets angry every time I slow down.

'You're finally home. Meena, please prepare breakfast.

I understand!

　Mom Erna said, and Meena replied in a cheerful voice and walked out of the dining room. As if to replace it, sister Elinora walked into the dining room.

'Good morning everyone,'

Good morning,

　I've long since met them, but they're all new to me, so I'll get on board and say hello.

　It's early August. It's still the height of summer, you know.

　It's natural to get sweaty if you run in from the morning, and Elinora's sister's white skin and clothes were slightly wet with sweat.

The first thing to do is to wipe the sweat off with a towel a little more thoroughly, Elinora. Sweat is dripping from your forehead, okay?

'Okay. It's wiping and wiping and it's dripping.

　It's a good idea to have a towel around your neck, as Mother Erna likes to do, but Sister Elinora, who has little girl power, finds it troublesome. When the sweat starts dripping down and becomes troublesome, she will immediately wipe it off with the towel over her shoulder.

　It is hard to believe that she is a pre-breakfast girl. She has the swagger of an old man who has just finished his morning jog.

No, you can't. No, you have to wipe off your sweat and change your clothes before you eat breakfast.

Well, it's no trouble. Didn't I ask you to fix breakfast already?　If you get dressed now, your breakfast is going to get cold, okay?

But you still can't eat while you're sweating. Now go get dressed.

　Mom Erna's motherly intentions seemed to wobble at the mention of breakfast getting cold, but thanks to the presence of Nord Dad, she was able to act like a wonderfully solemn mother.

'Er.'

　Sister Elinora let out a frustrated word at Mother Erna's words.

　Sister Elinora looks unfaithfully at the front, but when I'm in front of her, she realizes something and smiles happily.

''Al, use your ice magic to send me some cold air,'' she said. That way you'll be sweating right away and you won't have to change your clothes.

When you sweat and cool off right away, your body temperature drops and you catch a cold...

　I tried to advise her that, but I never saw Sister Elinora catching a cold.

　I was going to say it myself, but I don't think it's even remotely possible for sister Elinora to catch a cold.

You're not going to catch a cold, right?

I feel like I've done something incredibly rude. Don't be mad at me, just send me some cold air, please.

Okay.

　In order to avoid being beaten by my sister, who has a keen intuition for nothing, I decide to use ice magic as quickly as possible.

　I hold my arms over Elinora's sister in front of me. Then I activate my ice magic and send cold air to her, adding and subtracting to keep her sweat from freezing.

　When I send the cold air, Elinora-sister's bangs and ponytail flutter.

''........Ah, it feels nice and cool.''

　Then Sister Elinora untied her hair that had been tied up and let out a squeal of ecstasy.

　Elinora's auburn hair, which was damp with sweat, swayed in waves.

　I held my hand still while I continued to send cold air through it. The Elinora's sister, meanwhile, pats on the collar of her shirt to send cold air through her body and turns around to dry the nape of her neck, doing whatever she wants. She doesn't have an ounce of girl power anymore.

　What in the world am I doing in the morning? Not only me, but also Erna-mother, Nord-dad and Silvio-brother, who were watching it all around me, had indescribable expressions on their faces.

'It's getting cold, so make it a normal breeze...'

　In the midst of such a delicate atmosphere, sister Elinora, the person in question, doesn't seem to be bothered by it and says.

　She says she's had enough of cold air, so she switches to wind magic this time.

　When the wind magic sent a breeze, Elinora sister put a hair elastic in her mouth and started combing her hair with her hands.

　With that, she combed her hair and tied up the back of her head with a familiar hand, and then used the hair elastic she had in her mouth to tie up the back of her head.

'Yes, we're done!　I'm not even sweating, so this should do it!

　Sister Elinora quickly swept her hand down her ponytail and said to Mother Erna proudly.

You can change your clothes later, just in case.

　Mother Erna let out a sigh as she looked at Sister Elinora with a complicated look on her face.

　Mother Erna's words still didn't seem to go over well with Sister Elinora, who had little girl power.
