[A/N: Hashiyasume? It feels like it]
[T/N: It’s Japanese food. Look it up if you’re interested. Although I’m not sure about it.]
Sharuru Mana never neglected training even right now.
And it hurts her shoulders, no matter where you damage it won’t make a difference.
She were doing her daily routine this evening.
“Although it hurts…To become a swordsman like my mother, I have to endure this much”
Although she’s not inclined to overestimate herself, she is conscious that she has a certain ability. However, with her current skills, she is not that far from Lilia Mana. Sharuru never won by hand even once after her retirement. The physical strength, experience, and mental strength surpass her in all areas.
I don’t want to overdo it and spread open my wound, but I can’t stay still.
On rainy days I am inside the Flying Skyship, otherwise, I go outside in the middle of the night. And it is seasonally cool so you don’t sweat.
“One, Two, Three……”
The wound injury was somewhat big but not deep. Regardless of the size of the wound, the injury suffered by Sharuru is the responsibility of Sharuru. Living as a swordsman means putting your body at the frontlines, and everyone knows that. Therefore, it is synonymous with having exposed the danger of the rearguard to the vanguard at all times. There are no excuses. So I repeat at the same speed I always do.
The swing is the most basic menu, but it is also the most important thing at the same time. If you want to be greedy, you can have a partner practice with swords, but you can not choose the option to ask the busy Bell. At the very least, swinging doesn’t waste your time.
[T/N: I know what you are thinking. What the fishy crackers has a menu to do with swinging swords? I don’t know either.]
“…Mm?”
After 30 minutes of continuously waving the katana without concern. I saw something in my line of sight, stopped my hand and turned around.
“Bell? These times are rare, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I just happened to wake up. Don’t mind me”
“Mm”
The conversation didn’t pick up, and Bell just sat silently and watched Sharuru swing.
After a while, Bell spoke softly.
“Sharuru is strong, isn’t she. I was wondering why it might be so”
“What happened so suddenly?”
“I told you when I invited you. But I saw you training for the first time”
“I always go to sleep late”
The reason why Sharuru only trains at night is simple. It can be seen by anyone that in the daytime they spend most of their time hunting.
“Well, my shoulder hurts, so it’s in moderation”
“I know that”
After saying that, Bell went back to her futon.
“I have to train even more…”
◇
(…I’m missing something…)
Bell thought so. It seems that there is a habit of thinking from the time she went to school, there are many things in herself and the world to consult the people around.
There is no use to think about what is missing. Every element, such as practical experience, knowledge, and reading, all of it is a rude lack of comparison with the predecessors. I seem to be lacking the concentration to them recently.
While in the midst of hunting, it can be seen behind Sharuru, the Aqua Dragon–the Lord who dominates the lake–it is difficult to know what that thing is capable of, considering the class’s presence.
The result is that Sharuru protecting and getting injured in the end. Whether it is black magic or white magic, it’s job is to join the swordsmen who make efforts in the vanguard who are more vulnerable to life dangers. For this reason, concentrating power, and mental strength, are thus required more than swordsmen. In order to discern the flow of matter, a great deal of mental power is required to concentrate and to take and sublimate the power to oneself.
Take a deep breath, turn your mind to nothing, and focus your attention on the flow of air.
There’s nothing wrong with trying. It wasn’t impossible to read. And it wasn’t that I could read more.
[T/N: I have no clue anymore.]
That’s a big problem.
“Maintaining this status quo is nothing more than a hindrance to our ambition…!”
Improve your concentration as much as possible to exceed your level at school.
That’s why she didn’t notice Sharuru is watching from behind.
(Amazing concentration power…I have to learn from her)
It was the two who felt too much responsibility as usual.

“Sharuru. We’re in trouble because we don’t have people.”
“Ahh, people is it, mm”
The following morning.
At the time of breakfast, I don’t know what she is demonstrating, but Sharuru is hitting something with a hammer.
“Jeez. Are you sure you know how?”
“I don’t know!”
“I thought so. I’m talking about White Magician”
A white magician is somewhat of an attribute counterpart for black magicians. Black is for the attack, white is magic for healing and support. Even if it is marked with the same "magic”, the white attribute cannot be handled by Bell.
“If white magic can be used, if it is about that wound it will be cured in half a day”
“But I do not even have an acquaintance like that…”
They don’t have any ideas of a magician they know.
To invite or to not invite.
“I’m the same. But that’s why we are going to the next town”
“Ok, that’s right. But I have a place I want to stop first.”
“I wonder where”
“It will be…”
◇
“I see. You certainly had that promise.”
In front of the entrance of Sharuru’s family home. It is the first time she has returned home for about two weeks. They are simply here to just abide by the condition.
“Mother! I came back!”
When Sharuru knocked out on the wooden door and informed loudly, Lilia Mana welcomed them shortly.
“Welcome back, Sharuru”
“Mm, I’m home!”
◇
Just like when they were on adventures, Bell went to bed early, and she spoke with her family and Lilia with no outsiders present. Her father seems to be traveling somewhere and is absent.
“So then? How is Bell-chan?”
“Just like an adult, reliable! It was easy to move and easy to fight, and it was nice working together”
“You seem to be doing well, I’m relieved. Tomorrow, you’re leaving again… do your best”
“Mm!”
[A/N: I am waiting for comments and so on]
YunisCold’s ThoughtsI forgot to mention last time. I changed the alias from *IWSG* to *BeSwordGirl*. Because it’s depressing to know that IWSG is already taken.
