Episode 4. Growing the warriors (10)

Tina swung her sword.

With a shimmering sound, Urca’s sleeve touched the tip of the sword and cut off a little.

“You…… !”

What happened?

Clearly, Urka pulled away faster than Tina could swing her sword.

Still, the tip of the sword touched her clothes.

It was an illusion as if the blade of the sword had been lengthened.

Couldn’t you have already mastered the illusion swordsmanship perfectly?

As Urca distanced herself, Tina carelessly swung her sword a few times.

“It’s a little messy.”

Hearing Tina’s murmur, luckily it didn’t seem like that.

Still, I couldn’t help but be surprised at this level of progress.

Is this kid really the kid who was beaten up by Dink or something just a month ago?

“But I think I know what to do.”

Her face is serious again.

“As expected, it’s different when it comes to swords, isn’t it… ….”

Her characteristic is ‘Sword Saint’.

As far as her sword was concerned, no one would come after her. Swordsmanship was the same.

That’s why I didn’t give Tina advice on swordsmanship.

Apart from having a sword master already at his side, I had nothing to advise on handling the sword.

Tina can learn anything sensory as long as it has something to do with swords.

She was a kind of so-called ‘genius’.

In the game, I had to take care of everything, so I had to do all the cock-banging, but because this place was real, it grew on its own, so I didn’t have much to do.

“I’m not saying I’m the strongest for nothing. I need to be a little more sincere.”

Urca digs in and wields her dagger.

Kang! Kang!

Quickly cuts down daggers flying from both directions. Not enough of that, I even tried to counterattack.

The trajectory of the sword, which was headed for the neck, changed to the shoulder.

Watching it straight ahead, Urca twisted her body to avoid it, then extended her dagger towards Tina’s neck.

Tina flexibly dodged her back and thrust her foot into Urca’s abdomen.

Puck!

Perfect counter attack.

But she wasn’t the kind of person who would just accept that. Tina’s kick was blocked by Urca’s hand.

Tina retrieves her foot with her snap.

At that moment, Tina’s calf area began to turn red.

Looking closely, I saw that the calf area of her pants had been cut off.

Blood dripping from the inside of his pants ran down his shoes and onto the grass.

“Does it hurt?”

I thought it was a light sparring, so it seems like it was only scratched, but if I dealt with it seriously, the lower part of her calf would have been blown off.

“If it hurts, can I tell you that it hurts?”

Urca brushed off the blood on her dagger and spoke provocatively. Tina shook her head.

“It’s okay. Because I can still move.”

After jumping a few times in her place, Tina grabs her sword again without a frown on her face.

Should I call it an attitude?

It felt like the atmosphere had changed.

Come to think of it, since she awakened, whenever she held her sword, her mood was different from usual.

When you wake up, what kind of change of mind will come, unlike in the game?

If this place were really real, it was a plausible assumption.

But apart from that, I didn’t think it was an expression a 10-year-old would make.

“Let’s continue.”

“Looks like you’ve already won?”

“It’s not over.”

“Yes, I will admit your grit. But let’s finish it slowly. I haven’t seen anything good yet.”

Urca’s gaze turns to me. I had a feeling it would be annoying.

Tak!

Tina kicked the ground with her unscathed foot.

“Certainly, the part where the trajectory of the sword changes is similar to Prause, but it is still ‘honest’. It’s not difficult to avoid.”

Boom!

As if it had been destroyed by now, Urca leisurely dodged it and aimed her foot at Tina’s face.

“!”

Push!

Blood floated in the air.

“The response is good. You didn’t know that her feet had blades, did you?”

It’s a pity that she twisted her head, otherwise Tina’s face could have been bruised.

It is said that even scars can be healed with recovery magic unless it is an attack mixed with magic, but it was not a good experience for a child who would be very sensitive.

But Tina didn’t care one bit about the scars on her own face.

She didn’t care and swung her sword to deliver a blow to Urca.

But Urca, who moved faster than that, blocked it by holding Tina’s hand tightly. Then she put the tip of the dagger on Tina’s throat.

“This is it.”

Tina watched her unmoving hand and then shut her eyes tightly.

And when she opened her eyes again, she was back with her usual bright eyes.

“Whoah… …. After all, S-class is different.”

“No, you guys are great. Even if I took care of it, the level isn’t bad. If I improved my skills just a little bit, I could have joined the Imperial Knights right away.”

She gave a positive review.

To be honest, since she is a hero, I wished she would win, but it was realistically impossible.

No matter how awakened a warrior is, he is still a blank slate who has not learned anything.

Her tempered her for a long time couldn’t beat her.

Even though she did it with some sincerity, she proved that the power of a hero is not weak, so she decided to be content with that this time.

“A bit cocky, but fun.”

By the time Urca nodded her head in satisfaction and put the dagger into her clothes, applause rang out.

Duke Tori, Grand Duchess Ella, and the knights escorting them were clapping their hands as they watched the match.

“It was a good sparring.”

“I heard you fought well against S-rank. You look for talented people like this, and Prause-sama seems to have a wide range of knowledge, right?”

What is Insight? It’s just a game that’s all day and night.

“Prause!”

Urca came to me after proudly finishing her sparring.

“Prause, if you raise these kids well, it will be really reassuring. Or would you like to raise it with me?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“It’s too cold anyway.”

Leaving Urca shrugging her shoulders, she walked over to Tina.

She held her sword in, pouting her lips.

“Tina.”

“Ah, master, there… ….”

“Well done.”

“Ehehehe.”

She smiled innocently and took my caress.

The atmosphere is different from the fight a while ago.

Unlike the atmosphere where the blade was standing, now it just feels round and smooth.

“Teacher!”

Tina hugs me tightly.

She was contemplating whether to take it off or not, but since she had a hard time sparring, she decided to leave it alone for now.

“Teacher!”

“… What.”

“I will definitely win next time.”

She cupped her little hand cutely and proudly declared.

“It’s still too much to beat Urca.”

“But… ….”

“But one day you will definitely defeat Urca.”

It’s difficult if you can’t win.

I could never accept that a hero who would have to kill the demon king in the future would lose to an S-class.

I can’t let my old age be ruined.

“Teacher… ….”

Contrary to my inner feelings, the words seemed to be a thrill to Tina.

On the contrary, Urca had an expression of chewing sh*t.

“That… Are you speaking in front of me? Prause, are you trying to upset me?”

‘If you twist it, you can become a hero.’

“Is a 30-year-old woman jealous of a 10-year-old? I’m sorry.”

“What?!”

Urca shouted as she jumped up and down.

“I’m not yet 30, Prause bad—!”

“Yes! I will definitely win! Like Urca-sama!”

“You cheeky bastard! Who’s that?! Get away from Prause now! I will discipline you!”

“Do you want to do that to a child with a 20-year age difference?”

“That’s right! I’m not thirty!”

As I stared at her pathetically, Urca protested by poking me on the cheek.

“Ah, that’s right. I wanted to ask before sparring.”

“What is it?”

“Master, what’s for dinner tonight?”

Ah, come to think of it, I missed the timing.

It was because of the sudden visit of nobles.

“I’m thinking of making turkey fried rice.”

“Bokkeumbap!”

“Stir-fried. It’s rice.”

As the background was in the Western Middle Ages, rice was not the staple food, but it wasn’t that I didn’t eat it at all.

It’s not as common a food as bread, but I thought I’d cook it so that even children could enjoy it.

“Maria, heal Tina.”

“Oh, yes.”

“After all the treatment, come in and take a bath. I will prepare you a delicious meal.”

The three children’s expressions noticeably brighten at my words.

“Oh yeah!”

“I look forward to it!”

“Yes!”

I touched the heads of the children who answered vigorously one last time before turning around.

“Once you’ve come this far, I’ll even cook for you. Come in.”

I said to Tori, Ella, and Urca, who were standing there.

I don’t know if it will suit the tastes of the nobles, but the reviews are good.

“Bob…… ?”

“I mean to treat you to a meal.”

…… Was it too much of a Korean sensibility?

* * *

Even if five people live in the house, it seemed like it would explode when the number of people in the house increased to eight.

If the duke had brought in the knights who came as escorts, he would not have been able to move his feet.

“This is… It’s the first time I’ve tried this dish, and it’s quite delicious.”

Duke Tori raised his eyebrows and said.

“Prause! Give me more! What is this?!”

“Mrs Prause…… ! How are you so good at cooking? I want to taste what Praus-nim cooks every day!”

“Are you envious? My teacher prepares meals for me every day!”

Tina giggles and lifts the pills. Urka and Ella nodded in affirmation.

“Tina, in front of the nobles.”

Iris gives Tina a tip. Tina then bowed her head in agony.

“Ah…… Is that so? Sorry.”

“No, it’s okay. Rather, if you treat me comfortably, I can come here often, and I can meet Prause-sama—”

“If you want to pay for my food, I will kick you out right away.”

I don’t have much money, so I’m contemplating whether I should sell the artifact.

There was nothing good about the increased number of people at the table.

“Do you have enough money for food?”

Duke Tori asked.

“It’s a bit daunting, but I have no intention of accepting support.”

If you have to, ask the kids to catch wild animals.

“Ariel.”

“Ugh? Why are you calling me?”

Ariel was also eager to eat the turkey fried rice, as if she liked it.

“When you finish, wash the dishes. Lack of utensils I have to treat the knights outside as well.

I pointed her thumb at her kitchen and asked her to wash her dishes as she always did.

At my words, Tori, Ella, and Urka opened their eyes wide.

“I, make the spirit king wash the dishes?!”

“Yes. Okay.”

Ariel nodded her head obediently.

“You answer casually?!”

These were very noisy nobles.

“For generations in history, no one has treated the King of Spirits like this… ….”

“That’s right. Treating even the King of Spirits like a servant……. Prause-sama’s potential was this much.”

What are these people misunderstanding?

Anyway, Ariel couldn’t help us directly unless she had a contract.

I ordered it because I thought I would rather have it at least this rather than leave it as an insectivore.

I don’t know what kind of power you’re talking about. Are they jerks?

Anyway, after Ariel’s meal, she started washing the dishes.

As soon as the dishes were clean, I served meals to the knights resting outside.

I went home after watching him eat hard while saying thank you.

“Hey! Why are you eating that!”

“Prause treated me to eat!”

Unlike the knights, the nobles in the house were people who really didn’t know anything about being a nuisance.

I don’t know why I treated these people.

Looks like you went crazy for a second.

“Let go of this!”

“Damn Ella, do you want to search?!”

“What?! Let’s make sure who’s on top at this point!”

“Teacher, won’t you stop those nobles from fighting?”

How can I, being weak, stop the S rank? I’ll die when it dries.

“…… Done.”

I really hope they turn it off.
