'Hey, are you awake?"

 The next morning.

I was in the middle of my routine reading when there was a knock at the door and Saraswati's voice came from the corridor.

'Is something wrong?"

"Well? I didn't hear anything."

After exchanging a few words with Misha, who was training in recovery magic, we both nodded our heads.

The reason is that Saraswati has been visiting my room every morning, but that's because we go to the training ground together as a partners.

Today's visit was clearly an action with a different intention. I wondered what was going on.

 I opened the door.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

"Can I come in?"

"Yes, but are you sure you don't want to sleep"?

Saraswati looked so sleepy that I was worried about her.

It's more than an hour earlier than normal, and she should probably still be sleeping.

 No, I mean, she really looks sleepy.

When she is sleepy-eyed, combined the lack of energy, she looks like Lucy.

 Usually I can tell them apart, but when I look at them like this, they really do look like twins.

"I'm fine. I'm awake. I have a favor to ask you."

"Huh?"

Saraswati enters the room, rubbing her eyes, looks at the study desk, and suddenly takes a seat.

"Do you always study?"

"I don't really study, I read mostly."

"Yes, that's right. You read two books together, right?"

'That's right."

"Can I do that too?"

"Is that what you're going to ask for?"

'There's plenty of other stuff I ask you ."

 Saraswati, having answered the question, stood up.

 She still looked sleepy, but her eyes were serious. This sharpness had been shown yesterday when he was fighting with Lieselotte.

 Then, Saraswathi is here now with the same feeling as that time.

---A request right after  genius broke her yesterday?

I am sure she wants me to teach her the training I am doing.

We are both not gifted at fighting, but our gap in ability is still quite large at this point in time.

To make up for that, she must have come to ask me for help.

 My expectation was partly correct.

---But Saraswati's actual request was even greater in its depth.

'I want to stay here from now on."

 What did you say?

"I'm sorry. Please repeat . What did you say?"

'So I'm going to stay in this room with you from now on."

"What? What? What? Why?"

'Because it makes me the stronger!"

 Uh, uh, yeah.

 Okay. Easy, easy. What time is it? Probably not night. First of all, I'm gonna go to ------ and check my phone. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

 I mean, what does it matter what time it is?

 All right, take a deep breath. Soooo, hah, ok, now I'm calm.

With a cleared thinking process, I'll sort this situation out.

So, this is what Saraswati wants.

Let her live exactly the same life as me, by my side.

By continuing to imitate me beside me, she wants to gain the same kind of power that brought down Raymond.

 I understand what's going on, but do you have Misha and Schneizel's permission?

 I glanced sideways at Misha and got a smile back.

 That's that. I'll follow Nor's order.

Then it's Schneizel's turn.

"Let's see, Saras. What about Schneizel?"

 

' He told me to just tell that if you touch me, he will kill you. That's funny. When we train together, hands, feet, swords, anything is possible".

"Yes, but that's a different kind of move. That's a different hand, I'm sure."

"What move? You know what it is?"

"No?"

 I know what it is, but I can't get my finger on it with a seven-year-old.

" Well, I don't know what it is, but it's okay. So I'm going to make a deal with you."

 Saying this, Saraswati sat down proudly in my room.

---And so began the joint life of me, Saraswati, and Misha.

 To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about it, and I think we should only be together when we train together, but I won't say anything about that.

Saraswati, who had been so crushed by the reality of the situation yesterday, still desperately wanted to become stronger, and this was the answer she had come up with.

I couldn't bring myself to reject it.

️.

"------I'm tired, I'm exhausted. I need to rest now."

I finished reading and studying and was on my way to the training hall. Saraswati was already exhausted.

'Are you alright?'

'I'm fine. I decided to be strong. But my head hurts. How can you be fine?'

"You get used to it. It was hard for me the first , too.'

"You can't read two books together just because you're used to it! I thought it was weird before, but now that I've tried it, it's really weird!'

Well, I agree with her.

 The first few months of training to read two books at the same time was very difficult because I could not input any information at all.

 I could study twice as efficiently in the year that followed because I wasted the first few months, and the extra load on my brain helped me think better, too.

'You're going to read two books, aren't you, Saras?

"Of course I do! I'm going to do everything you do!"

"Well, the next time Almire wants to teach me magic, I'll go with you."

"Really? The head of the Order is going to teach me magic?"

"Oh, yes!"

I flinched at Saraswati who came up to me with a twinkle in her eye.

I'd forgotten about it due to a certain fox lady's strange sense of distance, but that man is a hero who is considered in the same league as Schneizel.

 Ha ha ha ha. I hope she won't be discouraged when she gets involved with the real deal.

 While we were talking, we arrived at the training ground. Lucy seems to have already started training and is quietly wielding her sword.

 Normally, I would talk to her from here and work with her, but...

 But today, she was in no mood to talk to us.

 With a devil-may-care expression on her face, Lucy repeats her sword swing over and over again with a seriousness she would never show against us.

 It was a simple and repetitive task, but it was an incredibly beautiful gesture. There must be a world, a breath, an atmosphere that only a genius can see.

 A sparkling flash of brilliance enchanted me and Saraswati.

 --- You're fighting Lieselotte, so you're putting the finishing touches on it.

'Norwin! We'll do it too!"

"Oh, ah. Yes, we will."

Don't just stand there admiring it. I have a match, too.

After that, final adjustments before the martial arts tournament, we headed out to the arena for yet another day of fighting.

----- and the first match between the four best will start.

t/n dunno if i will be able to post more today . will make it up tomorrow
