When I woke up, there was a familiar ceiling.
It's a pretty old house, so there's a lot of damage here and there, but the most noticeable thing about it is the big hole.
It had been created when my sister had snuck into my bed earlier in the morning when I woke up and kicked her as hard as I could.
It was the ceiling of my parents' room.
I squinted at the sight of my old room where I had spent more than a decade.
'.........Hmm. My parents' house is so relaxing after all.
The bed is comfortable with my body and I feel like I slept well last night.
And that's when I notice a soft feeling around my waist.
I pull off the blanket and find a little girl lying in a hug, hugging .
Nii-sama........how did you leave ?
It was my little sister Mira who was talking in her adorable sleep.
She was born after I received the blessing ceremony, and she's almost five years old.
She has always stuck close to since she was a little girl, but maybe it's because we've been away from ho for a while, but since we've co ho, I think it's gotten worse.
Well, you can't bla her for sneaking into bed without permission.
If this was my sister, I would kick her off without a second thought, but I can't do that to Mira.
After all, she's my sister.
''Good.''
...hmmm....
When I patted her head, Mila's cheeks loosened up with joy.
That sister, by the way, is now away from her parents' house.
After I started my sword training in earnest, she said, "Wait for , Arel! I'll make sure your sister creates a world where Arel can live without any problems! He left the house alone, telling with a prepared look on his face, "I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
Where in the world is he going?
Oh, well.
It's nice and quiet.
It was only the day before yesterday that I returned to this small town where my parents live.
I've only been in the City of Swords for about half a year at most, but perhaps because I've rarely been out of town, I feel as if I've been away from ho for a long ti.
That's why I missed this town so much.
When I returned ho, I walked around the town, and for so reason there were many people who knew that I had left for the Sword City, and every ti I t them, they called out to .
''Arel-kun, you've done well........ Humans, everything is a challenge, so you shouldn't worry too much about it, right?''
That experience will co with you in the future. So stay strong.
"You have a family that loves you. Don't you ever forget that?
I was always given words of consolation, but apparently he thought I had co back soon after my setback.
In fact, I corrected him, saying that he hadn't done that, in fact, he had even won the Kenshin Cup, a tournant to determine the strongest swordsman in the city, but...
When I did so, he beca more and more worried and looked at like I was looking at a poor child, so I gave up on the idea that it wasn't sothing that would bother if he was mistaken.
Then yesterday.
I fought my mother for the title of the world's greatest swordsman.
I won by the skin of my teeth.
Well, I had trained for a real battle in the City of Swords and was in a state of solid completion.
Mom, on the other hand, has been away from actual combat for a long ti and is almost a housewife, although she is occasionally sent out to help the vigilante group in defeating demons.
The difference between the two would not have been small, but still, a win is a win.
''It's amazing, Arelle! I can't believe I'm this strong in just six months!''
Mom was happy to let go of the fact that she had lost.
I'd never won before.
So it wasn't a mistake to leave my parents' house and spend the last six months in Sword City.
Nevertheless, even though they should have the sa skills, Mom was still incomparably stronger than the Living Armor of the Sword God that she fought in the Sword City dungeon.
The Living Armor only follows pre-input commands and unleashes skills, so she couldn't expect human-like resourcefulness.
On the other hand, Mom is top-notch in all of them, such as the way she assembles tactics, her ability to make split-second decisions against unexpected attacks, and her skillful selection of skills according to the situation, and she never relies on her skills to fight.
Well, when you think about it like that, it's no wonder there's a difference.
However, to be honest, Mom, you are not that smart, and although you are usually quite careless, you beco a different person only when you are holding a sword, which is surprising.
Anyway, I should be able to say that I'm now the world's most powerful swordsman, both in na and reality.
.........Hmm.
What shall we do from today?
I don't know, I feel like I've suddenly lost my tension, or rather, my sense of urgency.
Of course I will continue to train my sword.
But now that I've already reached the top of the heap, it's hard to say if I'll be able to approach it with the sa drive and determination as before.
I've spent almost all of my day training so far, but I'm sure that's not possible.
Then, I'm sure I'll have so free ti.
Maybe it's okay to take so ti off to relax a bit but that's my nature and I'm not comfortable with that.
''Okay, then, let's try to master that thing next ti.
That day.
I asked my father for help.
"You have to teach magic. Now I want to master it.
My dad and my mom, who was listening to it beside , opened their mouths with a pop.
"...What?
