Volu 1, Chapter 3: First class of the bride training study
“......So what? What the hell happened?" Efrika
“Aah? Did you see sothing?" Craft
I sat on a chair In the Bride Training Study classroom, poking a desk with a stick.
“Do you see what you're saying with a bite mark on your face?” Efrika
“Huuh......idiots” Leona
Lunch break was over. Four people were in the classroom - Leona, Kaitos, Efrika and I. That's right, it's the sa as this morning.
"Absolutely. It was too much to scratch Nii-san′s face, Kaitos” Efrika
Efrika had entered the classroom and upon seeing my face, changed her expression and jumped at . It would beco serious if a scar remains, so she healed with a recovery spell.
"Kaitos-chan! Did you know?” Leona
“You're wrong Leona. It is Craft fault for hurting my pure heart" Kaitos
“What! When did I hurt you!" Craft
“Don't get excited, Nii-san. Here, I will heal you" Efrika
The mont the light emitted from Efrika's palm lted into my wound, the pain on my face disappeared. It is as good as ever. If only her character would only be good, like this......hey.
“Now, Nii-san. The injury has been healed, so do you have an explanation? " Efrika
Efrika, who finished treating , was angry and has her hands on her waist. It is nice to see her breasts shaking as she change her posture……but I don't care what she said.
“Enhanced running in the corridor, fighting in the dining hall, half dragonization of your contracted legendary beast...you made too much noise on the first day" Efrika
“Hah! You two left alone with Kaitos! Your fault!” Craft
“That's not the problem!" Efrika
Efrika scoffs with a smack. Well, did I press a botherso switch?
“......Why? Why doesn't Nii-san think about my feelings?" Efrika
“Feelings......? What feelings?" Craft
I really have no idea. I'll try to fool her again, playfully. I was trying to raise my face when saw tear stains on Efrika′s face.
“I......I'm betting on this opportunity, so, uuu......even if it's not a big deal for Nii-san, it's all for ……” Efrika
“Uu, guu......Efrika......” Craft
A drops of tear fall on the floor. I…...I hated this for a long ti. I don't know why, but my heart is aching and my whole body is trembling from frustration and irritation.
“Hurry up, please…...don't deprive of my last possibility…...uuu…...hiiku” Efrika
“U, Understand! Hey, I understand you endless weeper! Wipe away your tears! Damn it! " Craft
I was upset, but I hold my handkerchief against Efrika′s face. Whether such behavior was funny, Leona is leaking a laugh.
“Don't laugh, Leona! I just don't want to see a crying face that is similar to my face! Hey, hey! Don't laugh at , Efrika! I'll kill you!” Craft
“N…...huhuhuu, forgive , Nii-san. I'm so happy." Efrika
Efrika receives my handkerchief and wipes away her tears. And when she put my handkerchief secretly into her dress, she winks and smiles.
“Well, I will think about it for a while now. Is that okay?" Efrika
“Yes. It seems like you knew it and got the most from it" Craft
“You are a good brother, Craft-niisama! And Efrika-aneesama? Won't you return the handkerchief now...?” Leona
“Huhuhuu, what are you saying Leona?” Efrika
With a fearless smile, Efrika avoided Leona′s words.
“Oh dear. You're trouble with Efrika, Craft” Kaitos
“Leave it alone. The other candidates will co soon, so please keep quiet" Craft
If you listen carefully, you could hear faint footsteps from behind the door. The number of people are…...one, two, three. It seems that everyone had arrived together. Almost on ti, they're serious.
“Excuse " Musashi
*Gigii* the door opens with a old sound. Musashi in armor, ca in first, followed by a yawning rry. Venu ca in a few seconds after them.
“Maa? Everyone already getting along!" Craft
“Unlike the abroad students, we are all locals students. So we don't have to prepare for the dormitory" Venu
Because I heard many strange things today, the brightness of Venu is strangely scratchy. Moreover, the three people scattered without sitting near each other. It seems that there is still a lot of openings.
“Osshaa! Craft-sensei! We're all here, so let's start the class quickly!” ri
“Oh, you're really motivated ri. Then, shall we start?" Craft
ri was seated in the front row side by side with Leona and Efrika. Such a honest and cheerful person is really comfortable looking at.
“I'll say it once again, I′m Craft. You can call sensei, or with any honorifics, I don't really mind it., I'll call everyone by their na as well” Craft
“Please wait! Why are you calling by my nickna?" Venu
“Very good question Venu. Because it’easy to call, and it's cute" Craft
However, when I call her Venu it feels slightly different from a nickna, so I said such a thing. The mouth of Venu is rising gladly as an evidence.
“Cu, Cute......? But, I am beautiful rather than cute" Venu
“Yes. If there are no objection, please prepare your notebooks, everyone"
If I stop for this trivial matter, I can't do what I want to do. I write letters with a small cane made of gunnigan on the black board made of mana gear tree. It's a very different from writing a letter per brushstroke. I wrote the characters for “Craftology” in big lettering. It was the lesson I would teach about, from now on.
“Spelling of na, Age, Birthday. Height and weight......I don't care, but this is the base. " Craft
When I shake the small cane, its projects on the blackboard in a blink of an eye. The small cane of Gunnigan can project the thought in one's head seems to be popular among teachers.
“Naa! What is this? Character briefly......! " Venu
“Oh, is this the first ti you've seen this? Magic tools are really rare in Baretoria" Craft
While feeling a little fun with Venu’s initial reaction of, I continue writing on the board.
“Just like that. Please look at the other profile lightly. It's not that important" Craft
“Emm......having a contracted mythical beast and using it mainly......what is a contracted mythical beast?” Venu
“OiOi. You know what Venu, you guys don't have much knowledge about other countries.” Craft
Since there is almost no exchange between the countries other than Dibair, I was starting to understand that there will be so differences in knowledge and perception......which is terrible.
“......Alright, this a good opportunity. I will explain the culture of each country at the end of the lesson." Craft
“What is the culture of each country?" Leona
“Okay Leona. It's a bit troubleso but for one month from now I will explain the terms everyti there is a need of explanation ” Craft
Also, acquaintance of each other's culture may deepen the relationship between these girls. Even though it would be troubleso, for to enjoy teaching after this, I would need to eliminate these obstacles.
“That's right! Then I will study too!” Leona
“I don't mind. In this class, there will be no jury needed......" Craft
For Leona, who was confined in the castle, it's a priceless opportunity to know about other countries. Even with my poor explanation, I'm sure it will be useful for the future.
“Craft-sensei, I don't want to know about the cultures of the other countries" Venu
“Listen, Venu. It is necessary to have the experience of the other country widely if you want to beco the Dibair’s Queen. I traveled to each country enduringly for the whole past year" Craft
I didn't really think about such a difficult thing, but... I'll keep it that way.
“......I understand. There seems to be a proper circumstance, if you say so" Venu
“Okay, I will continue if there are no other complaints. Lets start with Kurinos" Craft
Swing the small cane I draw a map of Rusanas on the board. Drawing a line by hand, I write Kurinos on it. It is faster to actually use your hand than to think about the characters.
“Kurinos is a terrain surrounded by snowy mountains. There are various mythical beasts living in those mountains. The people of Kurinos have contracted with those mythical beasts and enriched their lives by living together. They can call the mythical beast that they signed a contract with" Craft
“I've heard sothing like that. There is a pure beast and that beast can't coexist!” Venu
“That's right. Most of the people from Kurinos are beasts who have the strength of a mythical beast and they are born with so characteristics of animals. The horns that are growing on Kaitos′s head are exactly that" Craft
Because Kaitos transforms with his own abilities, it is different from real Kurinos people but let's use him for explanation. It will be easier to chat about the true nature of Kaitos.
“Existing mythical beasts are rare among races and seem to be sacred to the people of Kurinos" Craft
Ironically, because of their rarity, they can see the evil in soone. Now most of the mythical beasts are hunted by smugglers and the remaining tribes are few.
“Mythical beast──there is no real evidence, but rumors are heard" Musashi
Finally, Musashi who had been silent since the start of the class, opened her mouth. She was sothing to worry about, because her eyes are directed towards Kaitos.
“Then, what type of mythical beast did Kaitos-dono contracted with?" Musashi
“e? My mythical beast......?” Kaitos
“It is unlikely that Kaitos-dono is an ordinary person. I see that you were quite a expert" Musashi
I'm sorry, but she is my mythical beast......but I can not say that. Naturally, does Kaitos have no contracted mythical beast and it's bad if it's investigated.
“Ah, Musashi. That's......” Craft
I think about how to explain it, but Musashi opens her mouth again.
“According to the story I heard......you certainly will be from the tribe called King of mythical beasts, right? If there is a chance, I would like to have a fight with you by all ans" Musashi
“Musashi, I'm sorry, but that's not true. I'm an Admol dragon......" Kaitos
Kaitos squeezes his voice quietly and looking down with his eyes. It is unreasonable. Anyway, Admol dragons.....
“Due to extinction, it’s been a long ti since we were referred to as the King of Mythical Beasts." Kaitos
“What? Is that true?” Musashi
A mythical beast that don’t exist in this world anymore - Admol dragons, but was only true for the public. The only surviving admol dragon──is the princess of mythical beasts who lives with .
“......Yeah, no doubt" Kaitos
“Are you the only one left? Kaitos-dono, if possible talk more about it......." Musashi
“Hey, Musashi. She doesn't want to talk about this. And will be no opportunity to fight anyway" Efrika
Continuing with this story is painful for Kaitos. It's a topic devoted to Efrika, who cared about him.
“Muu, but the legendary rumored mythical beast──the secret of its strength......” Musashi
“Don't forget that you're in class now, Musashi. We will end this talk now and I will continue!" Craft
When I strike my hand on the desk, everyone looks up at . I'm afraid I will manage to ss up this. Thank you, Efrika.
“After talking about the North Country we will continue with the South Country. So it will be Bunna′s turn” Craft
“Good! I was waiting! Hehee, I'm looking forward to it!" ri
Seeing the smiling figure of ri, I enclose Bunna drawn on the board, in a circle.
“Bunna is a country made up of nurous tribes. It is considered to be the smallest of the five countries, and the degree of civilization is also low, but it actually has the highest level of culture" Craft
“I don't want to hear that. Even if civilization is high, then Baretoria is developing a better science!" Venu
“Simply a big-headed Baretorian will think that so." Efrika
“Naa! Take this back! I can't forgive you for insulting Baretoria!" Venu
Her confidence in her country leaves Venu wanting to scream...loudly. Patriotism is valued but she will have a difficult ti as a royal if she couldn’t withstand this much...
“Don't interfere Efrika. And Venu, I don't want to say that Bunna is higher than Baretoria particularly. However, Bunna has more aspects than Baretoria" Craft
“If Craft-sama says so, I'll just listen" Efrika
“Nihihii, thank you! Even Bunna has good places!" ri
ri, the mood maker, is reliable indeed.
“Bunna is a natural rampart, because most of the country is surrounded by large forests. There are no steam engine and no mythical beasts......but there is wisdom to supplent them and magic crystals" Craft
Magic that is now popular, as it is commonly found throughout Rusanas. Immigrants spread the knowledge about magic to other countries. Originally only technology was found only in Bunna In other words, Bunna created the foundation of magic…...in other word, it is the source.
“You can use magic technology, like this small Ganigan cane, but science doesn't catch up. The difference won't be such a degree when you beco a magician in Bunna. Is that right, rry?" Craft
“Yes! You can fly the sky with a broom and you can also make a golem from clay!" ri
“A country that has developed only with magic and without destroying the vast nature. That's Bunna” Craft
Although I have only been visited several tis, the depth of their power seed bottomless to .
“This is a story that everyone knows, but magic has attributes which beco the origin of power. The natural attributes are fire, water, earth, wind, and thunder which use no mana and no own magic power. Not every attribute can will be used by everyone. Those born with an attribute can use the attributes power. " Craft
“Well-inford Craft-sensei! That's exactly right!" ri
“do you know your own attributes?” Craft
It is supposed to be checked, with the aptitude test dicine, as soon as a child is born. There used to be a thod of classification used by blood organizations, such as ABO Type, in the past, but it’s completely abolished now. Magic attributes are more important than your blood type.
“By the way, my magic attribute is thunder. Please tell your attributes, too.” Craft
“If you say so. I have healing magic, so I obviously have the water attribute──So! It is a natural providence to be weak against Craft-niisan′s lightning attribute! Hey, is that right?" Efrika
Is that right? Not really. It is weak against the thunder attribute except .
“Craft-niisama already knows, but I have the earth attribute and I'm good at modeling magic" Leona
“Wow, that's amazing, Leona! Earth attribute is stronger than thunder!" Craft
“Huh, you idiot. Don't get carried away so easily” Kaitos
Oh, my God. The air in the classroom is cold sohow, as Kaitos says.
“Ah, bad Kaitos. I know for a while, but I also ask that you share with everyone ,as well." Craft
“......I have wind attribute. However, there aren’t many opportunities to use it." Kaitos
“Subsequently, I have the fire attribute and I mainly use it according with my sword skills, " Musashi
Regardless of Kaitos, Musashi is as expected......which is reasonable.
“Next is Venu's, will you tell us?" Craft
“I, I......that” Venu
Venu shyly hides her face in her hood.And then, after a montary silence,......she finally opens her mouth.
“Sa, Sa as you......it is the thunder attribute” Venu
“Thunder? Oh, really? I am glad that we have the sa thunder attribute" Craft
“I'm also happy, but......well, it's nothing, nhuhuu” Venu
Her mouth peep through the loose deeply-covering hood. I would like to take that hood off and expose her happy-looking face to the other candidates......
“What do you say, you have the sa thunder attribute as Nii-san? I have the water attribute, water attributeee!" Efrika
I'll stop because Efrika′s face is jealous, unexpectedly.
“O, Osshaa! Well then the last one is ri. Because you have a bright personality, is it fire?" Craft
When I thought about it my mind, I called out to ri,my favorite student.
“ChiiChiiChii. Don't look so sweet!! I'm the granddaughter of a great old man!!“ ri
“I would never look sweet? You..." Craft
“So! I can use all five attributes! It's aweso!" ri
……Uh, incredible.
“Are you serious? I have heard that it is rare to have even just two attributes, but five attributes?" Craft
“I don't lie. I'll show you proof if you doubt !!" ri
ri spreads her palms out and thrust them into the air. All of us leaned over and stared at ri′s hand. I concentrated my consciousness......and right after that.
“Haaa! Filmina-El-Torre!” ri
A fire lights up from her thumb. And we remarkably see a flow of water on her index finger and a mass of earth on her middle finger. In addition, a whirlwind blows on her ring finger, while the little finger batters with thunder and lightning.
“It is a controlling issue to simultaneously using five attributes" ri
“......Surprisingly you say it at such a ti" Efrika
Efrika is unusually fascinated. There is no impossibility, I have the sa impression.
“Heeheeh! Are you surprised? Hey, are you surprised?” ri
“Be relieved because everyone here is surprised. It's really aweso"
If you are satisfied with my words, ri solved the magic with a smile. She can freely use all 5 attributes and also use such a huge Trident which seems very powerful......interesting.
“, ri-dono! With ! Don't you feel like fighting with !" Musashi
"Musashi and I fight? Why?" ri
"If there is a strong opponent in front of a samurai, they cannot help challenging them! ri-dono, I'm begging you!" Musashi
"A fight with a samurai seems to be interesting......but I've been told by my grandfather that I shouldn't fight with other countries" ri
"Guu, if there is such circumstances...... I don't have any choice" Musashi
Listen to ri′s circumstances, Musashi withdraws with a shaful face. It seems that she is a master of martial arts, so she probably likes fighting.
“Howa! Amazing! My hands are crackling! And it exploded with a Kaboom!" Leona
"Leona, your sanity may have returned but it took too much ti" Craft
Sotis I think, if there were only Leona's in the world, there would be no disputes.
“Okay. ri and Bunna are great enough, but let's gi to Baretoria" Craft
"I have been waiting for that! Baretoria is the best country in the world and I'm proud of it!" Venu
In one sweep Baretoria is drawn on the blackboard by a line. It is the country with the highest civilization among the five countries and it developed with chanical technology.
“Anyway, everything is in Baretoria. From steam locomotive to flying boats...... " Craft
"Well, but that's not all, the gun technology is also superior than those machines!" Venu
As Ragwardo rchants said before, when you talk about guns you talk about Baretoria. The more the image gets settled, the more Baretoria and guns are tied together in Rusanas.
“May I ask you a question, Craft-dono?" Musashi
"What's the matter, Musashi? Is it sothing about guns?" Craft
"Yes. There is sothing which can be called a gun in my country too......I want to know the difference between that “gun” and a Baretoria gun" Musashi
Musashi is concerned about the performance as a weapon. There are no direct exchange between east and west.
“Umm. I'm sorry to say it, but Isamura′s gun are an old-fashioned; one with blazing power and low accuracy. There's almost nothing better than Baretoria′s gun" Venu
"What! It's better than Inshi Island!" Musashi
“That's normal! The root of guns lays in Baretoria! Oh, the sll of smoke and the cold feel of iron──after all the guns are the best!" Venu
Venu pulls out a black pistol from sowhere and her beautiful face distorts.
“I don't agree with the fragrance, but guns are really useful. My recomndation is this one” Craft
I pull out Dantes from my waist holster and show it. The blue shining barrel is engraved with the blessing rune of Eurelagan Cathedral, which is the key to controlling the magic of the entire gun.
“The power and accuracy are up to the owner's level, and as long as one has magic power, there is no need that bullets will run out......" Craft
"Well, it's a demon gun! No way! You are using the devil gun?" Venu
“Yes. The automatic control is now obsolete, but magic control guns are more common, right?" Craft
"!! Shut up! So is life! I don't want to see it!" Venu
Venu reveals a ragged look by striking and changing what she doesn't like. She stares at my Dantes, and shakes her shoulders, while grinding her back teeth.
“That......you use a devil gun......I" Venu
"What's the matter? Didn't you like guns?" Kaitos
"Is a devil gun a gun? Kaitos-san, please don't joke saying such a thing!" Venu
The bride candidates are embarrassed of Venu's indignation that isn't extraordinary. She should leave this place.
“Really. Even though I hate that......bad Venu. I will keep this in mind" Craft
"Ah......that......hu, huuh! I'm not saying thank you!" Venu
I didn't an this, but I'm sorry Dantes. When I took away Dantes, the trembling Venu also regained her calmness and dropped her shoulders. Is the devil gun traumatic for Venu? What the heck is with Venu′s public views......
“......Ah, well then let's go back to our topic......next and last turn is Isamura" Craft
"Don't worry, Isamura is a really good country" Musashi
"Oh, it's the only country in Rusanas that has all four seasons. Other than that, Isamura has the best landscape that I have seen." Craft
I draw a little landscape on the blackboard. Because the scenery in my head was projected as it is, it was inferior compared to the real thing.
“Th, that's Fushi mountain. This is the most famous scenery in Isamura! In the past......" Musashi
“Well? too? What happened to you suddenly, Musashi-san?" Craft
“Ah, no! Now that you are only excited about it, you have to be!” Musashi
“It's a bad......oh well, I will continue. Isamura is a country rich in culture. Warriors called Samurai protect the country and the people and have a unique culture" Craft
Is it hard to say or it is too formal? Feeling the sense of nature and pride?
“Prideful guys. They use a special sword called katana and their swordsmanship is unique. There are also a lot of schools and their movent is totally different depending on their birthplace" Craft
“Indeed! The sword is a samurai's soul. And proving of being the strongest of own′s school is a samurai's long-cherished desire!" Musashi
Musashi shouts with excitent, as her armor tinkles. I thought she was a tough guy, but she might be pretty childish and cute unexpectedly.
“Yours......Musashi how is your sword school called?”
The swordman schools I know from Isamura are the Shigen sword school and the Hokushin sword school. Both schools are single sword using, which is different from Musashi′s dual wielding sword school.
“......The na of my school? Hmm, what should I say......" Musashi
“You don't even know your own school? I'm appalled to hear the na of the samurai" Venu
Venu opinion is reasonable, but not knowing isn’t uncommon. I learnt swordsmanship by Zenan, but I don't know the na of the school and I never even thought of asking....
“That's rude. It's not that I don't know, but I haven't decided on a na yet" Musashi
“You haven't decided on a na? Is Musashi's sword self-created style?" Craft
“Thats right. My dream is that the sword style that I have created recognized as the strongest school!" Musashi
I see. Because it self-taught, it is that unusual dual sword. It is difficult to master this even if you co up with sothing like that without thinking.
“I adore that you will devise your own sword style!" Leona
“So you still don't lose? I think it's good to be proud of" Craft
“No, you two don't complint ! I'm still inexperienced" Musashi
To Leona 's generous praise, Musashi blushes and hide her face. Is this really Musashi......?
“But Craft-niisan′s sword isnt losing against you. It's so strong" Leona
“Yes! Craft-niisama is the strongest in the world! Right, Nii-sama!" Efrika
Ah, the strongest in the world. If Leona says so......surely.
“The world's best? Is that so?" Musashi
“Hey, you better believe it. I'm the best in the world......" Craft
“There is only one way! Craft-dono, I'd like you to fight with !" Musashi
“............What?” Craft
Rising from her seat, Musashi points her fist to . I feel her spirit through her fist......what a nuisance.
“A serious match where blades collide......kuuu, boiling! My blood is boiling!" Musashi
“Ah, Musashi. It seems you're excited, but I don't want to fight" Craft
“Why! Was it because my pressure wasn't enough?" Musashi
“It's not that you're not pressuring enough, I just don't have any obligation to accept it" Craft
My purpose is to train my bride,not soone who is a battle-maniac.
“No! It's your obligatory!” Musashi
“Obligatory? What do you an, Musashi?" Efrika
Efrika asks the aning of Musashi 's words. Then Musashi strangely began to speak of a mysterious theory confidently.
“When Craft-dono is King, it is reasonable to want a strong child for succession. That won't happen unless the wife is also strong. In other words, this is very important for !" Musashi
“Although a triumphant look is bad, it's the popular use of a Isamuran battle-maniac"
“ri-dono who is prohibited from fighting was give up! However, I don't say it disgustingly to Craft-dono who owes from a year ago! I won't say it! Say it!" Musashi
“Yes, don't say it three tis! Discipline!” Craft
The matter which was refused by ri seems to continue and Musashi doesn't give up. What should I say to declining once and for all......shit, what shall I do?
“Okay, Craft-sensei! I think that there was no opportunity to fight a samurai!" ri
“Craft-dono! Please fight ! Please!" Musashi
Musashi begs by bowing her forehead on the desk. Her desperation weighs heavily on my chest.
“Emm, Craft-niisama. Do it for ..., emm"
Squirming the tip of the pen and fingers, Leona looks at apologetic. At least I think it's because of .
“I don't care. It's not my intention, but it's a favor for the bride candidate" Craft
“Th, then! Are you going to fight ?" Musashi
“Yes. The ti is tomorrow morning, seven o'clock. Is the practice field next to the school building good?" Craft
I shake the small cane. A map about the practice field is drawn on the blackboard. Originally it's a place for magic lessons, so it's okay if we have a fierce batte.
“Practice field......is that a place to duel?" Musashi
Musashi stared at the map with a tearful face. Rembering the place and finish preparations for tomorrow imdiately, without showing other emotions.
“I knew it! Tomorrow's fight! I′m going to fight fair and to win!" Musashi
“I may be a little late, but…...wait for . The fight starts as soon as we arrive" Craft
“Because it is impossible without you, there is no particular objection!" Musashi
“Thanks for understanding. Then, it is good......shall we end here today?" Craft
I set a promise and ended the lesson when Musashi was satisfied. The first day ended with self-introduction and mutual friendship.
“From tomorrow, we will try various things. It's the bride training before marriage" Craft
“Yes, I hope so. Both my cooking and sewing skills! I cultivated them all for Nii-san......" Efrika
“Everyone, you can return as you want. Don't fight or cause problems in the dorm" Craft
“Huhh......! You don't even have to tell us anything!" Venu
When I urge so, Venu quickly left the classroom. It seems that she disappeared without saying goodbye.
“Whew. I wish I could be honest like you" Musashi
“Naahaahaa! Fight, Fight! I'm looking forward to the match tomorrow!" ri
“It isn't a spectacle. Well, if Musashi is good, I don't mind it" Craft
“I also dont care. ri-dono, please do whatever you like. I will show you that tomorrow I will be the best bride in the world" Musashi
Holding her two Katana bags under the arm, Musashi left the classroom with a bow. ri left next by holding her huge trident and waving her hand with a smile. Thus, the only ones left in the classroom are the Dibair group including Kaitos.
“......Huu, it's finally over. I'm glad I didn't have anything major happening"
Efrika, who stood up from the chair, took off her chest armor. Squatting and tal fittings co off and her rich chest is released at once──which is awfully hot.
“Efrika. It's only you and Musashi, you're wearing heavy equipnt to that extent" Craft
Where do you think you are? It's school, not a battlefield.
“Ah, emm, Nii-sama. Your work is already over, right?" Leona
While I was appalled by Efrika′s resilience, Leona pulled my sleeve.
“Would you like to go back to the castle with ? I want to talk to you in my room!” Leona
“Willingly. I also want to speak with Leona" Craft
“Wait Nii-san. Did you forget to fight Musashi tomorrow?" Efrika
I hold Leona’s hand and Efrika’s triumphant return disturbs .Kaitos in the back was also blocking my way.
“Afford? You think I'm going to lose?" Craft
“It is not so, but the opponent is a samurai of Isamura. And even if it is a sword fight, Nii-san..." Efrika
“I agree. My guess is that her sword skills is about the sa level as mine” Craft
“Eh? If so, is there a chance for Nii-sama to win......?” Leona
Leona looks up at my face uneasy, wondering about . I gently stroke her small head, before I whisper to make her feel secure.
“It's all right, Leona. I definitely won't lose" Craft
“Where does that confidence co from? Is it a secret plan?” Leona
“A secret plan. There are certain things, but…...well, that's the fun of tomorrow" Craft
In today's first class, their personalities and characteristics are grasped. I'll start slowly from tomorrow──
“Alright, do you want to train?"
I start to train my brides at Dora Castle at night. Most of the attendants finish their work and take a rest in their room. I was thinking about going to sleep in my room after having dinner with Leona, Kaitos and Efrika, but I rembered that Efrika stole my handkerchief.
“Hey Efrika! Let’s have a little talk!" Craft
It it was an ordinary handkerchief I wouldn’t have minded, it is a nto of my mother. I was in front of her room to get it back neatly......
“What, has she gone to bed already?" Craft
There is no reply from the other side of the door. Efrika won't pretend not to hear my call......so it seems that Efrika has already gone to bed.
“......Co on, Efrika. I'm here to worship your stupid sleeping face" Craft
It is impossible to think that it is normal to enter a woman's room without permission, but the other person is a woman who has a stolen a man possession. Sotis she doesn't get punished even if I retaliate this much.
“Naa? What, the light is still on?” Craft
When I push the door open, light leaks from Efrika′s room. I also consider the possibility of Efrika's sneaky trap, so I take a breath before I advance my feet into the room. But I had nothing to fear as Efrika′s appearance was found soon.
“Was she sleeping after all? And on the desk......" Craft
It is the sa as my room, an elegant room with no useless things at all. Efrika was asleep on the desk, her back turned to my sight. This is surprising, but there seems to be little things about in Efrika's room.
“I thought that she was sticking voyeur photos of on the entire wall" Craft
Instead, looking at the recipe of dicine affixed, I again recognize that she is a skilled magician. Of course that's natural because she is taking care of Leona.
“Shit, I don’t see my handkerchief......but I′m not going to search her room" Craft
When it cos to this, there is no use in this room anymore......it is too wasteful to co here and go ho without seeing her sleeping face. I go towards Efrika who tried to do sothing. She was in the middle of writing sothing, holding a feather pen, while sleeping with her long hair spread on the tabletop. Efrika might have been considerably tired if she didn't notice approaching.
“Co on Efrika, go to be......dd…...?" Craft
Sothing appears in my sight just before putting my hand on Efrika′s shoulder. The identity of the writing paper covered by this sleeping saint was quite different from my imagination.
“Leona′s dical records......?” Craft
What is written in this beautiful letters without blur are Leona′s symptoms, condition, the outco of new treatnts and the type of drug to try next. Each one of them is gathered up carefully and this record is exquisite, with no hesitation, so that even I who isn't familiar with dicine knows that it is detailed. I am surprised at the contents and raise my eyes without thinking, before I look on the bookshelf next to the desk. There were docunts exactly the sa as the record that I just looked at──the record from the age of three years to the present was recorded.
“When Leona was three years old, at that ti was she ten years old.......?" Craft
I pick up a bundle of old-fashioned dical records and try to flip through the page quickly. Efrika was much younger then sothe way of putting it together is pretty clumsy. However, the content was spelled out, without ntion the disease which I didn't even know, of course. However it's not a level that it's possible for children over ten years old.
“Best healer of the continent......did she had such a talent since that ti?" Craft
No, she really is. I'm sure she had decent talent. The road of a healer isn't sweet enough to manage by effort alone. I know that. However, it is another story. The reason that Efrika began to aim being a healer......was surely because of . Because I wanted to help Leona, that I was so desperate as to die──
“......It's not funny to have a healer sleep on the desk and catch a cold" Craft
I put my hand on Efrika′s head who was sleeping soundly. Then Efrika relaxes her mouth comfortably and rubs her face like a cat with her hand.
“Indeed. When she is asleep is she really cute......aahh, that’s overemphasis" Craft
I pick up her body with extre caution so as not to wake up the sleeping saint. Well, this is a princess carrying.
“I forgot why I liked her, because she was taking care of Leona" Craft
By her usual behavior; I took a cold attitude, and in many cases I still think that it is annoying to be honest. But even Efrika, I know exactly.
"You are thinking more about than anyone in this world" Craft
I lower Efrika on the fluffy soft bed. Because her posture beca easier, Efrika 's face was really peaceful.
"Well, I'm not so sweet as to loose evaluation" Craft
After I saw Efrika who turned over, I turned off the lights in the room and headed towards the door. A word is put just before closing the door.
"However......from tomorrow I'll be a little more......just a little bit, I'll be gentle" Craft
These words does not reach the sleeping Efrika, but that's okay. Such an embarrassing thing, I can't say it face to face. I close the door quietly, like concealing it. I wonder why my head seems to be getting stuck with such words.
"Haa, Efrika. That bet......it's unexpectedly a decent match" Craft
I went into my own room and went to sleep.
