Chapter 85. Siblings of the Pernil family (7) + Presence of War (1)
“From now on, Mr. Arell, please tell me in advance when you commit something.”
Asha complained.
It was good to win overwhelmingly in a duel, and I also received an apology from that arrogant family.
“why? Thanks to that, you were very respected by your younger brother, right?”
“…is it too much?”
After Asha slashes Gadel with overwhelming force, Iret looks at her sister with more respect than ever before.
I will work hard to become a great person like my older sister.
Why is it a heartwarming sight?
However, he himself is rather shy.
It was hard to believe that the person blushing and not knowing what to do was the same person as the person who had just killed Gardell with a single blow.
After that, I sneaked away and watched to give the two siblings time to talk for real.
We couldn’t stay any longer, so we got out only after the sun went down.
“Your little brother will be fine.”
I said that to Asha as we walked.
Iret is a guy with a proper mindset just like her.
Although he may have been treated unfairly because of his family, thanks to today’s work, he probably won’t come out as a fool.
The rest is up to the boy.
I think it will be fine though.
He seems to have matured properly, and most of all, the little girl seems to be broken as well, so she’ll be fine.
It sounds like you should be worrying about something else instead, but let’s assume that’s the case.
“Aren’t you worried now?”
When I asked, Asha stayed blank for a moment and then blinked.
“…Did you know?”
“When I’m around you, you’ll know even if you don’t know.”
It was to be expected that she was worried about her younger brother and her family.
There was no need to look at Asha’s atmosphere.
Is there anyone who doesn’t worry about their own family when the atmosphere is like this in the kingdom.
If she was that cold, I wouldn’t have paid attention to her when I first selected her.
“…Actually, I should have said thank you first.”
Asha didn’t say anything for a while, then said that.
“Because I was a little worried.”
….I see.
“Don’t worry about today. I will take care so that there is no backtracking.”
I don’t think I’d dare to cheat if I knew the numbers.
Before that, who would openly speak ill of a family with a woman who blows up an academy instructor in one shot?
Instead, there is a possibility that Asha will be feared in a different sense…
Think about it, a female knight who blows a large man tens of meters away with a creepy smile.
Who would carelessly belittle it?
hmm? Maybe the mixed road will be blocked?
Oh, that’s not what I’m worried about.
“If anything happens, then I will take responsibility.”
Let me say so confidently.
“Then let Arel-nim take responsibility at that time.”
Asha laughed and took my joke the same way.
“Let’s go back soon.”
“yes.”
Prelude to war (1)
Preparation for war is not limited to supplying supplies or necessary soldiers.
Just as I prepare plans for future wars, everyone else has a lot to do.
Wizards make necessary items or train themselves in their free time, trying to reach a higher level.
The same goes for knights.
These days, our knights are also immersed in training.
“Yes, yes. Seina loosens up a little more and uhm… It’s not just the elasticity of the muscles themselves, but it moves with the feeling of adding an aura to it.”
“Okay!”
As per my instructions, the feeling of Seina moving her body was slightly modified.
However, it is difficult to improve at once, so I continue to give advice after watching it several times.
I do not miss Seina’s movements, and I engrave with my eyes all the movements of Asha, who is sparring with her, and listen with my ears.
“Asha is the opposite. Rely too much on Aura reinforcements. No matter how strong your Aura is, you can’t stand it without basic strength. Put a little more effort into it.”
“Uh… I see.”
Asha’s complexion hardened a bit as if my instructions were difficult, but she is still working hard to faithfully follow them.
Seina clings to her tenaciously, punching and kicking incessantly.
Basically, the styles of the two are at odds with each other.
Of course, each person does not neglect their practice on a daily basis.
After coming to Fahilia and taking on the additional task of overseeing the troops here, the two people, who have been busy besides escort, do not show any signs of their skills diminishing.
It’s proof that I’ve been working hard according to the theory I’ve advised before, even where I’m not looking.
Originally, if I was bored from time to time, I would just throw out a new theory and watch the two of them more leisurely to strengthen their strength.
Now, it has become a situation for the two of them to develop their skills as quickly as possible.
If a knight is the most certain way to prepare for war, what else is there besides becoming stronger?
Asha and Seina may have had the same thoughts, so this time, they are asking me first how to become stronger.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been living a relaxed daily life, but these days, I’ve been going back and forth to prepare, so I’m going to have a good time.
….Actually, preparing for the war is a bonus, and in reality, I am imagining how to develop my territory in the future while touring the city here and there.
But that’s a secret.
I can’t bear to confess my true feelings in front of the two honest eyes.
“good. Urgent things have been sorted out. For the time being, I will intensively guide you two.”
So for the past few days, I decided to watch and guide the two myself.
After all, the fastest way to improve your skills is to put two people together at once and teach them while rolling as if they were in real life.
The most certain thing is that I teach while dealing with them myself.
No matter how loyal they are to me, I have no intention of showing my true strength.
So, I will only give advice in the future.
would be a great explainer
After all, no one has any doubts that lately I teach knights and wizards only by theory.
It has become a normal thing now.
The person concerned has no power at all, but only the theory is a master.
It’s a bitter laugh because I know how absurd it is in common sense.
‘The real strong people I know would be dumbfounded if they found out.’
After thinking useless thoughts for a while and laughing alone, I said, “I need to focus on the situation in front of me.” I muttered, observing the movements of the two knights again.
The confrontation between the two soon came to an end.
The speed of Seina, who moved quickly and well while wearing thick armor, was slightly slower than before.
‘Did I run out of stamina?’
Without missing the opportunity, Asha swung the spear and chased after him.
The spear imbued with the light of the aura moves ceaselessly, and Seina also counters it with the aura dwelling on the thick iron plate attached to the armor.
“Until there.”
I have declared a stop.
The two stopped moving at the same time and spread their distance.
Eventually, the two of them exhaled as much as a sigh at the same time.
“I think Asha won this time.”
I just reviewed the previous workshop in my head and decided that it must be true.
At my level, the memory in the brain is enough to do more than read the video.
It is possible because you can raise your memory with all kinds of secrets and also have a lot of experience.
“therefore? How many wins and how many losses?”
“It’s 74 wins and losses. And the tie was number 11.”
“…Are you guys counting them all?”
As if it were natural, the two nodded.
The two knights who work in the same job have similar abilities, and they have often competed against each other even if they were not my city officials.
‘Well… All the unmanned people I’ve seen are like that.’
In particular, the guys who compete with each other to improve their skills like rivals tend to remember each win and loss one by one.
It’s the same in any world.
…. Well, I also had those times when I was a novice, and it’s not something I can’t understand.
Yes, competition is good too.
It’s important to have an opponent who compares your skills moderately and makes you anxious that you won’t fall behind if you’re even a little bit off guard.
But there is such a thing as a degree, so now I intervene in moderation and let them compete only to the extent.
“Now then, is it time to take a break and take medicine?”
Move when you’re working hard, and rest when you’re resting.
I clapped for both of them to look this way and took out two bottles from the bag I brought.
It’s not just an illness.
It is a magic tool that has been treated with magic to keep the objects inside warm and retain their warmth and taste.
To put it bluntly, it’s just a thermos bottle.
Apparently, there is no such thing as a thermos bottle here, so I ordered our wizards to make one.
“Eat this, practice for about 30 minutes, then start sparring again. What… you don’t have to explain anymore, you know?”
I threw the bottle at each of them and said, and the two of them, who deftly threw the bottle with both hands, nodded with a slightly firm expression.
I’m not complaining.
To put it bluntly, the contents in that vial are intimidating.
“I can’t help it if I can’t eat it. I’ve been looking for ingredients one by one, boiling them myself, refining them… Well, if you can’t take the elixir that I put so much effort into, I don’t force it.”
Let me say that with a playful smile.
Asha and Seina shook their heads vigorously, their complexions turned white.
“I never meant that!”
“It is! Whew? How can we say we won’t eat it?”
“okay?”
I smiled brightly.
“Then eat.”
“eat.”
said twice
Twice I told you to eat it.
“eat.”
said three times
When I urged them with a bright smile, the two of them opened the cap of the bottle and put the medicine into their mouths as if they were determined.
I can’t tell anyone the secret of Arel’s special elixir, so I’m making this myself.
Of course, the backward compatibility effect of this for my father or the oldest brother is incomparable to this.
This is what you can call a real extract.
At the same time, your shoulders twitch and your body trembles.
Even wearing armor, you can clearly see it.
Even if I don’t say anything, I can feel how it feels.
I guess so.
The elixir I made is notorious for being tasteless.
In the end, I decided that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make a delicious elixir, and since then I have only pursued efficacy.
Still, I don’t think people can eat it.
‘…Isn’t it that tasty?’
