TN: Sorry for the delay, we were hit by a big violent storm and didn't have the time to post my translation. It was done since the other day but our internet was crappy at home and had to bring my translation to my work just to post it. Luckily everyone in my family are safe, hope everyone who are affected by the storm are safe too. Anyway, Enjoy this chapter!

The chapter below is fake. It is taken from our original novel. The story can be messy since it was written as part of our game. Enjoy the story if you want, you can ignore it otherwise.

Chapter 5
“Morning Training”

The following day, I wake up early in the morning. Yesterday when I check the watch on my wrist, it is not working. I thought it was broken during our transportation from another world so I asked Henko and Jotaro’s but their watch are not working as well. We don’t know the reason why or maybe they all stop working when we were transferred. As such, I don’t know what the time is right now. While guessing if the time is around 5 or 6 in the morning, I step out of the room.

Our meeting with Hexis is scheduled for lunch so we are free to do whatever we want before the designated time. As such, I decided to head to somewhere where I can do whatever I want.

I am walking on the hallway with Jotaro and a Knight. We are heading to the Knights Training Ground which is located at the west side of the Castle. I am about to do my daily training but since I met Jotaro on the way, we go together. There was also a knight guiding Jotaro when we met but he left us with the Knight guiding me when we decided to go together. When we asked about Henko, they said that she was still sleeping. Well, we actually expected that because Henko hates morning.

After we pass the long hallway, we reach a garden. Walking further we reach another long hallway then exit out of the building. According to the Knight, we are still inside the castle. The building where we came from is called the inner castle. After a few more walking we arrived to another building. Inside is like a barracks, maybe its safe to say that the building is indeed a barracks. You can see armors, weapons and different kinds of people. At the other end of the door that you can see when you enter the building is the Knights Training Ground.

There was an old man who approach us while we are looking around in awe.

“Welcome young ones, we heard about your arrival.” [Old Man]

He introduce himself as Rolan. He’s a retired Knight and is now the one who manage the barracks. He is a very kind old man and healthy despite his appearance. After explaining the rules and few facilities, he guide us to the training ground.

The Knight’s Training Ground is wide. It can be compared to Meiji Jingu Stadium, a baseball stadium located in Tokyo. Although, I think Meiji Jingu Stadium is a little bit larger when compared to this place.

There are already a couple of people doing their own training. There are those who are doing stretching exercises and sparring at each other using a wooden sword and shield. It is a sight to behold, this is the first time I see something like this. You cannot see something like this on our dojo so I am a bit amazed by the scene.

“Well Then, should we start?” [Jotaro]

Jotaro asked me with a smile on his face, even though it is his irritating face, of course I didn’t declined. We started walking around the field in circle, the Knight was look at us with curiosity at first but lost interest when they found out that we are just walking. As we complete a lap our pace increases and after around five laps, we are running. This is a training exercise that my grandfather thought us, except we ran in our neighborhood. After 3 laps of running our pace slow down and 3 laps after that we are back to walking then stop.

The knights is looking at us with a question mark in their eyes, I wonder why. Come to think of it, no one is running. Don’t tell me… they don’t do cardiovascular exercises? Why?

After we stop, Jotaro asked me.

“What kind of training should we do right now?” [Jotaro]

“Let’s just do the usual without Ukemi” [Takeo]

Ukemi is one of the basics of Aikido. It is also known as the Falling Techniques. To tell you the truth, I don’t want to roll in here while people around are looking at us. It is still early in the morning and I have no plans of dirtying myself on this kind of ground. We go to an empty space and stand next to each other. I place my left foot forward, placed both my hands in front of me with open palm. Jotaro also did the same.

“Ok, let’s start” [Takeo]

On my signal we slide our right foot to our back doing a 180 degree turn making us face to what was once behind us. After that we kick the ground using our right foot then sliding our left foot to our back doing another 180 degree turn making us return to our previous position but with our right foot in lead instead of the left foot. We then slide our left foot to our back to do another 180 degree to face behind us then kick the ground using our left foot then sliding our right foot to our back to do another 180 degree, returning us to our original position with our left foot forward.

This movement is called Tenkan. Tenkan is a turning motion which is mostly practiced in several martial arts. It is also one of the basic movements in Aikido. We did the exercise for several minutes then proceeded in practicing Ikkyo and Nikyo. Ikkyo and Nikyo are few of the different basic techniques in Aikido as well. While practicing these techniques, the knights are watching us with more question marks on their face. Looks like they don’t understand what we are doing. Well, I don’t really care but its kinda hard to move when everyone is looking at you. Even though I experience these kind of things when my rank was about to get promoted in Aikido. I still cannot get used to it. We did more Aikido practices after that and time pass quickly while we are doing our own thing.

After our training, Aradin approach us. I didn’t realized that he was with the crowd watching us.

“That was an unusual movement, I thought you guys were dancing at first” [Aradin]

“Well–” [Takeo]

“Haha… I heard that a lot before” [Jotaro]

I was about to answer Aradin but for some reason, Jotaro suddenly butt in. That was rude but I didn’t really care. Jotaro do this kind of things sometimes, mostly when we are out with our friends from Dojo.

“I guess I won’t understand the meaning of those movement but one thing is certain, you guys are strong” [Aradin]

Ehh? How can he measure our strength with those movements? I don’t think you can know the strength of a person by just watching him doing Tenkan and other things. I experience it first hand, when I was about to get promoted to 4th Kyu in Aikido. My opponent was a fragile looking girl, her move was not the best while doing the stage play but when we spar I was beaten. Well, part of it was because I underestimated her but she is by no means fragile. Well, I guess Aikido is a martial art that can be used by fragile people to defeat sturdy people so underestimating her just because she looks like she’s gonna die just by breathing makes me taste my own medicine.

“Thank you. One day we should spar to learn from each other’s techniques” [Jotaro]

“Yeah. I guess we can do that sometime” [Aradin]

The conversation go on without me. Well, that’s fine but I hope they don’t forget about me.

“Speaking of which, you didn’t come here just to chat with us right?” [Jotaro]

“Oh right, I am here to train as well but was also left with the task to inform you that breakfast is ready” [Aradin]

“Oh.. Is that so?” [Takeo]

“Yes. Miss Henko is already in the dining room. A maid is waiting at the entrance of the barracks to guide you there.” [Aradin]

“I see. Thank you very much!” [Takeo]

With that, we leave the Knight’s Training Ground. Jotaro look at Aradin for a few minutes before leaving, I wonder what he is thinking. The maid guide us silently until we reach a big door which looks like a boss room in RPG that I played.

“We are here. Let one of us know if you need something” [Maid]

Huh? One of us? The maid open the door and inside is a large table with lots of food. There are a total of 20 seats and Henko is sitting at the very far end. There are also 7 maids surrounding the room. It’s an amazing sight, it really feels royalty.

“Yar– late.. *gulp*…. Where did you guys go?” [Henko]

Henko was chewing a meat on his mouth when trying to talk to us but she swallow it mid way of her sentence. It was a talent that I can never imitate.

“We just did our daily training, you should have come with us. The Training Ground was huge.” [Takeo]

Henko eyes widen while looking at me then she look at Jotaro. After few seconds she looks back at me.

“Are you ok? Jotaro did not do anything weird to you did he?” [Henko]

“Huh? No. We just do training like normal” [Takeo]

What is Henko talking about? Does she think that Jotaro will beat me up? I understand that Jotaro is really strong using Nakenjutsu but we did Aikido Training earlier. Even if we did Nakenjutsu, Jotaro will not beat me up for no reason…. Probably.

“Well.. If nothing happens, then that’s fine.” [Henko]

Henko said that while putting another meat on her mouth. She eats like a man. Most of the guys were turned off because of this but I find it cute.

“What are you implying hm? Henko-chan?” [Jotaro]

“Ehh?! Ah.. you know? ahahhaha.. uhm.. nothing.” [Henko]

When Jotaro asked her, she suddenly turned blue but was not able to give out any excuse. I guess Jotaro doesn’t like it when Henko thinks that Jotaro will beat me up. Yeah, that’s right, Henko trust Jotaro more. Even though I hate his face, he will not beat me for no apparent reason… Probably. Henko should know that already.

“After we eat, they said we can do whatever we want. In our lunch later, Hexis will join us and explain everything while we eat” [Henko].

With that, Jotaro and I nod and take a sit on the table. We eat a lot even though It’s just breakfast. It was a very heavy breakfast. I’m starting to worry. In the future, I hope we don’t get fat. After eating we head to the garden and found Princess Katleya.

Princess Katleya saw us but her eyes starts sparkling when she saw Jotaro. She then asked us to join her for tea. It was just right since we just finished eating breakfast. We just had idle talk with Princess Katleya, mostly about what our world looks like and Jotaro’s hobbies. During the whole conversation, Princess Katleya is only looking at Jotaro.

With that, our time pass and lunch time arrived. A maid guide us back to the dining room. Inside, Hexis is sitting however what we look at is not Hexis but the new variety of foods in the table. Looks like we will really get fat if this goes on.

As we are about to take our seat, the door opens and a knight shows up.

“Sir Hexis, we have an emergency! An elf magistrate arrive and is seeking audience with the Heroes!” [Knight]

“What!? Elf!? Impossible!!”

Heroes? That’s us right? Oh boy, looks like there’s trouble and we are about to get caught in the middle of it. I hope it is nothing serious. While praying in my mind, Hexis stood up and says he will come back. He left us in the room without explaining anything.

“For now, let’s just eat while we wait” [Henko]

Yep.. I’m pretty sure we will get fat if this goes on.
