I got out of the bath and enjoyed my dinner. I was tired after dinner, so I fell asleep in my bedroom bed as fast as I could.

　The morning sun came up on the third day.

　After a light breakfast, we gathered at the beach, just as we did yesterday.

　Thanks to the approaching summer, the temperature was warm even in the early morning. It becomes hotter at noon, but my heart is lighter than yesterday because it is easy to practice magic from noon.

　However, the body was a little heavy because the fatigue of yesterday had accumulated. My arms, legs, and the whole of my muscles ache.

　These seem to be the same for Silvio and Eric, and their expressions seemed to be a bit painful during the warm-up run.

　Although the time is shorter, this seems to be a tough one.

　After the run-in is over, we run and gather as Aegal-san calls us to gather.

'We're going to concentrate on the content and do it well today because our sword practice is only in the morning,'

We'll do the same thing, but we'll try to improve on what was said yesterday. It's not something you can fix in one day, but if you are always aware of what you are doing, you can make a difference. Also, when you come up with new ideas, keep practicing them. It's only practice, so don't be afraid of making mistakes and do your best.

"Yes!

　After receiving grateful words from Mr. Aegal and Father Nord, we were called by name again today and we took our turn to practice our strikes.

'First up is Eric and Miss Elinora.

　The first person to be called by name was Eric and sister Elinora.

　Ahhhh, poor guy, what a poor guy to be with Elinora sister all of a sudden.

''........go for it.

Hm, we're not going to lose like yesterday.

　I give him a pitying look, but Eric doesn't care, and he confronts me with his wooden sword with an imposing appearance.

　Oh, is it thanks to the fact that I blew it out in the bathroom yesterday? Eric's appearance is strangely refreshing.

　It's impossible for Eric to win against sister Elinora, but maybe he'll go to a good place today--

What?

　I watched and thought, but Eric was blown away by two cups.

　Oh, you lasted one more cup than yesterday.

　........Eric, you're growing up, if only slightly.

　I nodded slightly, and Eric managed to get himself up, covered in sand, as I nodded slightly.

'Dude, how can you take it from there to swing down? It doesn't make sense. Normally you wouldn't be able to swing a sword from a position like that.

You can't shake it. You have to shake it!

　Sis Elinora says once and for all to Eric's question.

　No, sister Elinora, I think Eric wants to ask you how you got to shake it off, and I don't think he's listening to such an absurd mentality.

　But the fact that you can do it naturally with that kind of thinking is the unreasonable strength of sister Elinora.

''It's not that you can't shake it........shake it?''

Yes. How can you do it if you assume you can't do it in the first place?

　Sister Elinora, those words boomerang back at me when I'm practicing my magic, but I don't know if it's okay.

　While Eric was being struck down with unreasonable strength and words, brother Silvio and Luna-san were fighting at the edge of my vision, the dry sound of wooden swords and shields clashing with each other could be heard.

　From the situation, it was the same as yesterday, with Luna-san attacking with her flexible movements and Silvio-san using her shield and wooden sword to prevent and look for an opening.

　As I recall, Luna's challenge was to see how much she could change her movements to attack. On the other hand, Silvio-san would have to prevent Luna's anomalous attacks and counter or use his shield well to get into his pocket.

　Brother Silvio has gained some experience from fighting Luna-san many times yesterday, but Luna-san is building a new type of attack to fit the situation so that he can go beyond that.

　I've been watching him for a while now, but there's hardly any similar attack patterns. Even if there was, it's a decoy, with slightly different timing and a completely different trajectory for the wooden sword to attack.

　Pure speed and strength like Elinora sister's is terrifying, but a sword released from a similar form is also terrifying. Because if you can't anticipate what kind of sword your opponent will swing, it's hard to deal with them.

　However, Brother Silvio is desperately biting into it. His body is soft, and he's desperately trying to assess and defend against Luna-san's movements, which are different from those of an ordinary person.

　Here, she's planning to prevent and prevent all the way around without getting a fatal wound and looking for an opening for her opponent.

　Luna-san's movements are quick but quite athletic. She's probably planning to attack the opportunity that her opponent is in a hurry.

　If it were me, I'd have been beaten long ago.

　The sound of sword and sword, sword and shield clashing can be heard.

　Luna-san, who has been attacking but has not been able to attack fully, has a slightly impatient look on her face.

　It showed in the wooden sword she wielded, and the blow to Brother Silvio became a big swing.

　Brother Silvio-san didn't miss it and slid the approaching wooden sword with his shield and entered his pocket.

''.........Kukku!

　Oh, it's the approach technique using the shield that Aegal-san taught me yesterday.

''Go ahead, just go straight for the Silvio Bash!

　When I shout that, Brother Silvio thrusts out his shield as it is.

　It hits Luna-san's chest and blows off loudly - it didn't, but it missed the momentum by doing a backflip as it was.

　Maybe he was flying backwards himself before the shield hit his chest and missed the impact.

　The distance between Brother Silvio and Luna-san was wide open, and they stared at each other again.

　Maybe it's because they match each other's tasks, but these two guys are really into it. If they do it at such a high pace, they won't be able to keep it up until lunch.

'Next, Al and Elinora.

　I was just watching Brother Silvio and Luna's practice in a daze when Father Nord called me over.

　When I turned my gaze in that direction, I saw Sister Elinora looking at me with a fearless smile.

　Huh........I'm going to have to roll down the beach again.

　I let out a sigh and walk out with my wooden sword.

　I can't wait for the time to practice my magic.



　◆



It's over at last.

　The morning's sword practice ended without incident, and I rolled onto the sheet as if I were falling down, having removed the sand from my body.

　I thought it would be much easier than yesterday because it was only a short morning, but it was harder than I imagined.
It was.

　We turned the bout around at a higher pace than yesterday, and the breaks were shorter.

　Just as Aegar had said at the beginning, the density of the short time was increased.

　If the practice had gone on for another hour, or even thirty minutes, I would have knocked it down again today.

'Al, if you're going to take a break, you'll have to eat first.

　As I was enjoying the comfort of the shade on the seat, Mother Erna said as she patted me on the hip.

　To be honest, I'm not in the mood to eat much due to the heat and fatigue, but I'd better eat a good meal, and if I don't eat quickly, it won't be as fresh.

　I sluggishly get up and sit down as I did yesterday.

　Then Meena and Largo bring me an equally large basket of food.

'Another sandwich?'

　Eric said what I was thinking for a moment.

　From our point of view, we wouldn't have much of a problem with another sandwich, but from Eric's point of view, who is used to eating them, he's probably a little nervous.

　Then Meena turned around and said cheerfully, "No, we're having onigiri today.

'No, it's onigiri today!
