Reiko and the others had left the house to go buy so weapons at a nearby weaponry shop, so that Haji and Rico could be prepared and ready for their training.
Reiko left Haji and Rico for a mont to pick out so weapons for them to use during the training, but Rico was angry at Haji because Haji had insulted her when they were on their way to buy the weapons. Rico told Haji not to talk to her again, but Haji did not care about that and continued attempting to talk to her.
"Hey, so do you know what kind of weapons your sister is going to pick for us?"
Haji asked while looking at Rico with a smile, but Rico did not respond to the question, but looked away from Haji.
"Co on, are you still angry about what I said before?"
"You know, I was just joking with you." He said again while dropping his smile and continuing to look at Rico. Still, Rico didn’t answer.
’This got to Haji’s nerves that he decided to force Rico to talk no matter it’ll take."
"You know you’re the one who started it. So why are you who’s angry at ? aren’t I the one who’s supposed to be angry at you?"
Haji said as he grabbed Rico’s shoulder, and added
"You are older than I."
"Why are you acting like you are so little kids?"
’Obviously, they are both a little the sa age; the only difference is that Rico is three months older than Haji. But Haji was just saying that to make Rico start talking, but Rico still did not respond to him."
Haji looked down while letting go of Rico’s shoulder and turning around towards the road. Rico smiled as she looked at Haji, but still did nothing.
"Co on, let’s go play in that old building over there!" A kid who was with his friends said to the others while running with wooden swords in hand, and it looked like they were having a good ti.
Haji looked at them with a grim expression and thought to himself. "I hope Reiko is also going to buy wooden swords for us."
’What he didn’t know was that Reiko was going to buy them real weapons for them both."
He looked at the road again and so a man carrying a spear coming out of the place where Reiko had gone to buy their tools. Haji smiled and looked at Rica, who was playing with a dry branch from a tree.
"Where did she get that branch?" He thought to himself while looking at Rica with a complicated face.
"Hey Rica. Isn’t that your teacher over there?" Haji said while he looked at the man with the spear.
"Where?" Rica asked while turning her head to look at the man with the spear.
"You are right, it’s him."
"Wait, how did you know about him?" She asked with a curious face while she turned and looked at Haji.
’Haji didn’t know who Rica’s teacher was; he just pointed out the guy randomly to make Rica talk.’
"Now you’ve decided to talk," Haji said with a smile. Rica was caught by surprise by Haji’s reaction and said furiously. "What are you talking about?"
"I’m still not talking to ya?" She added, while looking away from Haji.
"Then why are you talking to right now?" He asked with a goofy smile.
"...No, I’m not talking to ya,"
"...I was just asking ya, how ya knew my teacher." She said nervously while looking away from Haji.
"Ya?" Haji wondered while looking at Rica with a confused face.
"You know what?"
"Just forget I said anything," Rica said, her face flashed.
"It looks like you two are having fun." From nowhere, both Haji and Rica heard Reiko’s voice coming from behind them.
They both turned around imdiately and found Reiko standing there with two daggers and an enchanted mage staff.
"When did you get here?" They both asked at the sa ti, curiously.
"It doesn’t matter how I got here," Reiko replied with a smile, and was covered in so kind of gold dust.
"Here." She said while handing out the two daggers to Haji and the enchanted mage stuff to Rika.
"Be careful when holding those."
"I don’t want any of you getting hurt before we even start." She said while looking at Haji. Then she added as she turned to look at Rica. "You are, too. Rica."
"Hurt. What does she an by that?" Haji wondered with curiosity while looking at the two daggers in his hands.
"Co on," Reiko said while she started walking in the direction where another goddess statue in the Kingdom of lcelut. No one outside the village of Dol knew about the statue, because the statue just appeared in this village recently, after Nanako had just given birth.
The statue had the sa appearance as the one in l.
"Huh?!" Both Haji and Rica responded.
"Let’s get going," Reiko said with a smile while she turned her head to look at the two behind her.
Later, after they had left the weaponry shop location. They reached the training grounds in this village, which was located near where the goddess’s statue was.
"This looks like a good spot," Reiko said while touching the grass on the training field. Both Haji and Rika watched closer while filled with curiosity.
A gust of wind started swirling around Reiko. She closed her eyes slowly and uttered "Barstolhlt" with a soft, deep voice, and the wind swelling around her started getting stronger and, in an instant, it burst without even producing a flicker of noise.
"What was that about?" Haji asked while looking at Rica with a confused face. "I don’t know," Rica replied as she kept looking at her sister.
"What were ya just doing?" Rica asked as she approached her sister, who was cutting one of her fingers to get so of her blood.
"Oh, it’s nothing. I was just setting up a magic barrier." Reiko replied as she continued to cut her finger.
"A barrier?" Confused, Rica uttered
"Yeah, as long as you’re inside this barrier, no real harm will fall against you," Reiko said while dripping her blood on the grass she had touched earlier.
"What are ya doing now?" Rica asked.
"Is that blood?" Haji altered with a mix of fear and hesitation.
’Haji was afraid blood because blood made him feel unconfutable and every ti he saw soone bleeding, he felt like he was getting sick, but his mother had a way to make him feel better whenever he saw blood, and now he can control himself a little bit even though blood stirrers up so bad mories that aren’t his own.’
"Coltess!" Reiko called out, and her blood on the grass started growing, and flas of fire started coming out of it.
The blood flashed.
A humanoid creature the size of Rica suddenly appeared out of Reiko’s blood. it had ears as long as a Wallaby Kangaroo, its face looked like a doll, and its whole body was covered in fur, and it was ard with two daggers.
"Is that a bunny girl?!" Surprised, Haji said out loud.
"A bunny what?" Confused, asked as she turned around to face Haji.
"You know, it’s like those sexy girls in clubs wearing a rabbit suit with the ears and a tail."
"Sexy, girl, rabbit." Rica wondered with a confused face while looking at the humanoid creature.
"What’s a Rabbit?" Reiko asked with a confused face.
’In this world, rabbits are called "Coltess" or "Bion," and the term Haji’s is referring is from another world, which is not this one.’
"You don’t know what a rabbit is?" Haji asked with a disappointed look.
Reiko looked at Haji and asked, "Is this your first ti seeing one of these things?" but Haji didn’t respond. Instead, he looked straight in Reiko’s eyes and showed that he knew what he was talking about, but he decided to stay quiet.
"...So, does this have a na?" He asked while looking at the Coltess.
"No, why don’t you give it one, and by the way."
"It’s she and not he or transgender," Reiko said with a smile
"Are you sure?" He asked with a mix of confusion and hesitation in his voice.
"Yes, go ahead and na her," Reiko said as the Coltess just stood there and watched, with no trace of emotion on its face.
"Hina." Haji altered while looking at the Coltess
"Sounds good to ," Reiko said as she moved away from Haji, and in that mont, the Coltess started moving.
Reiko stopped for a mont and said, "Oh, and Haji."
"You are going to be training with Hina today."
Haji looked at Hina and said to Reiko, "Can she even fight?"
"Yes, she can."
"...And you’re going to do survival training, where you try to kill each other without hesitation."
"And before you even ask, Rica is going to do the sa, but with . So don’t die quickly." Reiko said she and Rica started heading off downhill from the training ground.
Haji looked at Hina with a smile and asked, "How strong are you?" But Hina did not respond; instead, she moved closer to a huge tree that was near them and removed it from the ground with her bare hands while still holding the daggers.
She threw the tree near the woods where it fell on a sli which was sleeping near the woods.
She started coming towards Haji while Haji stood there waiting for Hina to reach him, but the mont she reached him, he charged to attack her because he knew it was over for him if she got too close to him.
He took out one of the daggers he was given and tried attacking Hina mindlessly without checking first that the point he was going for was open or not, but the mont his dagger got close to Hina, she deflected it, and she stopped.
