Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 284

That day, the sound of dry wooden swords clashing in the open-air training area of the bookshop echoed with a lovely shout.

"Ei, yaaaah ‼."

"Heh. l, keep it up."

With a smile on my face, I catch the wooden sword wielded by l.

Then, a girl who was watching us nearby shouted out to l.

'Good luck, ldy-sama."

'Yes, Tis.'

l nods in support of Tis, Cross's daughter, and takes a deep breath with the wooden sword in her right eye.

When she regained her breath, she turned her sharp gaze on .

'...... yeah hey ‼'.

l shows a moderately sharp sword stroke as she vigorously steps towards .

But it is only a sharp sword in l's line of work.

After I catch her sword, I quickly change the flow of my power.

At the sa ti, l lets out a "wow⁉" and loses her stance, falling on her buttocks on the spot.

I took that opportunity to slowly thrust the tip of my wooden sword at her.

'l, your last sword stroke was good. But you're still .......'

She hears my words and gasps.

Soon after, she was on her bottom, her cheeks puffed out as she stared adorably at , looking up and down.

'Muu...... niisama. You could at least let do a bit of work. It's just unfair ‼."

'Haha. But overall, your swordsmanship was very good. I'm sure that if you keep practising, you'll get stronger."

When I replied to l with a smile, Tisu, who had been watching our training closely, called out to l a little excitedly.

'Master Rid is right, the way you move and your swordsmanship, rdi-sama, is unbelievable, as if you have only recently started swordsmanship. I definitely think ldy-sama has the sa talent for swordsmanship as Master Rid and Rainer-sama.'

'...... ehehe, I wonder if that's true.'

l, whose cheeks were puffed up earlier, is now smiling shyly at Tisu's words.

At that ti, Cross, Deputy Commander of the Knights of Bardia, who was watching our training from the side, ca towards us with a smile.

'Master Rid and rdi-sama also showed excellent swordsmanship. Especially, I believe that ldy-sama has a good talent, as Tis said. If you keep practising, you may eventually be as good as Master Rid."

When praised by Cross, l's face lights up and she smiles.

"I wonder if she'll be able to compete with ...... your wife then."

She stands up as she replies to the cross and glances at sideways.

I cough and tighten my expression a little.

'l, I told you earlier. Don't get too proud.'

My expression and words make her face tighten a little.

'U...... yes.'

I said this more forcefully than usual, and l seed to realise that she was getting a little too carried away.

At that mont, Cross spoke to us.

'Well then, ldy-sama. Next, let's train with .

'Yes, please.'

l replied to Cross and resud training with her wooden sword at the ready.

The daughter of Cross, Tisu, seems to be watching the two of them practising with a passionate gaze.

Incidentally, Tis is here as a 'training partner who is close to l in age'.

She cos to the house with Cross only on the days when l practices swordsmanship.

Well, it was l who wanted to be his training partner.

At that ti, Deanna, who was waiting nearby, ca up to and quickly offered a hand towel.

'Master Rid, thank you for your hard work. Please wipe your sweat here.

Thank you, Diana.

When I received the hand towel and lightly wiped the sweat from my forehead, Diana looked at Cross and l's practice and muttered in admiration.

'But I am surprised that ldy-sama is so enthusiastic about swordsmanship.

'Yes. I'm surprised too.'

I nodded in agreent to Deanna's words.

l said she wanted to practise swordsmanship right after we went to Cross's house to see the baby.

It seems that she had always been concerned about the magic and martial arts training I was doing, and she wanted to try her hand at magic and swordsmanship one day.

When she found out that Tis, a girl not much older than l, was practising swordsmanship, her desire to try it beca stronger.

The result of this was l's direct appeal to her father the other day.

Father and mother were worried that l might get hurt practising magic and swordsmanship.

However, in spite of their worries, l's talents have blossod rapidly in a short ti.

In terms of magic, Sandra was astonished, perhaps because she had been watching for so long, and said, "Following Master Rid, ldie-sama is also a talented person.

In terms of swordsmanship, Cross's words earlier were no lie.

l is also learning swordsmanship very quickly, as if to say that he is indeed his father's son.

If she continues to train like this, she might beco a swordsmith like Renalute's 'Asuna'.

If that happens, my father is going to have his head in the sand again.

By the way, there are six of us here: , l, Diana, Danae, Cross and Tis.

My squire Capella, who is not here, is in his office at the inn, organising the paperwork for .

I'm going to look over the paperwork he's put together after this training session.

As I'm thinking about how tiring the paperwork is for my eyes ......, I suddenly feel the presence of soone right behind and I'm startled.

I turned back with a start and saw Garn, the butler, standing there quietly.

When I looked at him with a surprised expression on my face, he smiled at .

'Master Rid, Master Rainer wants to see you."

'E...... um, yeah, okay. I'll be right there.'

While answering Garn, I suddenly glanced sideways at Deanna beside and saw that she, too, had a surprised expression on her face.

Apparently, Deanna had not noticed Garun's presence either.

When I pulled a face, Garun gave a fearless smile.

'Heh, I'm sorry. I ant to scare you a little, but my prank went too far. Please forgive .'

'Eh, no, that's okay, but I wonder if ...... Garn is a forr darkie or sothing. I didn't sense any sign of him at all.'

Garn pretended to think about the question, and then smiled.

'I would like to refrain from answering that question. But rather, please hurry up, because Rainer-sama is waiting for you."

'Uh-huh.'

I'm a bit confused because I feel as if I'm being led up in smoke, but I can't make my father wait.

I call out to Cross and l, who are practising, and tell them that Father has called them.

It was cute that while Cross and the others bailed out and said "Yes, I understand", l was the only one with a disgruntled look on his face, saying " eh ......".

After that, together with Diana and Garn, I hurried to the office where my father was waiting for .
