The party's over and we're going back to our room.
　I'm full, full, full.
　We were very satisfied with the tropical fruits that we could eat.

"That was delicious. Ranga-sama.

　Amira's stomach had also swelled up.
　She lay down on the bed and rubbed her growing belly with satisfaction.
　You've eaten too much, no matter what.

"They're letting us use their bathrooms!　Come on, let's go!
Yes, sir.
It's going to be a really big bath, so look forward to it!

　My father is very proud of me.

"Come on, Ranga, let's go in together!
I'm in!

　I'm going in!" He dropped a handkerchief on Amira's head as she hugged him, and we headed for the bath.

"Wow, it's really big.

　We were led to the most luxurious baths I'd ever seen.
　It was lined with marble statues and several large bathtubs that could hold many people.
　The baths were filled with floating roses and herbs, bath salts, bubbles, and all sorts of other goodies.

"Hey, Ranga!　There's an open-air bath over there!
"Dad, you're getting too excited.

　My father's tension was at its peak.
　I understand, but let's at least hide the front.

It's a nice ...... bath, though.

　I let out a breath as I watched my father jump into the large bath.
　After all, a large bath is the best.
　By the time I got out of the bath, I was in a great mood, a feeling I couldn't experience in the small baths at home.

"......?

　While I was changing, I suddenly felt a presence in the courtyard.
　I looked and saw the shadow of a man running in the dark.
　The thick silhouette looked like Hannibal.

"Hannibal ......?　Why at this hour ......?

　He seemed to be in a hurry to get to ...... someplace, but that's none of my business.

"Hey, why don't you get dressed? Ranga.
Hi.

　My father called me and I quickly changed.
　As I waited at the exit, Amira came out in her bathing suit.
　Her long hair was still a little wet, and her neck was moist and sweaty.
　Her cheeks were flushed and she looked like she was dreaming.

"Hmm, that was a very nice bath. It's a pity I couldn't join you, Ranga-sama.
"Don't be silly, let's go home.

　We've waited too long, we're getting cold.
　Why do women take such long baths?

　We returned to our room.

　We went back to our room and changed into our nightgowns.
　But my father had changed into his work clothes.

I've got a meeting to prepare for tomorrow. Miguel has summoned me. You guys can go to sleep first.
"Yeah, good luck. Dad.
Good night, Mr. Daryl.
Good night.

　Dad said and left the room.
　I wonder if he was here on business. Good luck, Dad.

Well, I'm off to bed. ...... Amira?
"Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

　Suddenly, Amira's shoulders begin to shake.



　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.

Good night.

　But I immediately replied, and lay down.
　I'm sorry, but I don't have time for your jokes.

"I'm not joking!　I'm serious!
I'm serious!" "That's even worse.

　I'm not joking! I'm serious!

"Yank!

　I'm not sure if it was a good hit or not.
　She's completely dizzy from the hit.

You'll sleep until morning.
"Kyuuu ......

　I pulled the covers over Amira and crawled under my own covers.
　Oh, man, he's a noisy one.


　Well, I think I'll go to bed, too.
　That's when I lay down on my side. Then I heard the sound of a bell ringing: .......

"...... so late at night?

　I remembered that it had rung in the afternoon too.
　But I don't think it was this small.
　And I don't understand why it rings so late at night.
　Maybe the wind blew or a bird or something hit it. ...... Oh well, I'm off to bed.
　I put my doubts aside and went to sleep.

I put my doubts aside and went to sleep. "Gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh ......

　The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my father snoring.
　The next morning, I woke up to my father's snoring. I thought I was used to it, but it was enough to wake me up.
　Amira was also dozing off in a fit of giggles.
　The sun is just rising now. It's early morning.
　The clock on her bedside table read five o'clock.

"Ahhhh... ......

　I stretched and got up.
　Now I'm going to get dressed and do my daily training.
　I find time every day to do a little combat training.
　Strength is essential to the peaceful life I want.
　As a child, it's hard for me to find free time to train.
　So I have to do it in the early morning or late at night, when I'm not seen.
　I don't mind if I don't do it at least when I'm in a mansion, but I feel uncomfortable if I don't do it because it's part of my routine.
　Well, at this time of day, it's probably only the maids who see me, so I don't think I'll be bothered that much.

　I walked outside unnoticed and went out to the garden.
　I breathed in and out the morning air.
　After a few deep breaths, I slowly let the magic fill my body.

He took a few deep breaths and then slowly let the magic flow through his body. "It's a man's yard, so let's keep a low profile today in case anyone sees us.

　At a very slow pace, he readies his fist and thrusts.
　Then he readies his fist again and kicks it slowly into the air.
　This repetition, as if in a performance, is what is called "kata" training.
　Kata is one of the most important aspects of martial arts, and the power of a technique varies greatly depending on how well it is practiced.
　It is the training of this "kata" that allows for the efficient application of force, lean body movements, the smoothness and speed of the flow of magic power, and the ideal blow that comes out of it ...... in a precise procedure.
　In practice, of course, the kata is performed at high speed, but in doing so, the kata tends to break down.
　By daring to do it slowly, you can reconfirm the movement, and by deepening your understanding, you can improve your skill.
　It is a simple but highly effective training.
　Incidentally, Amira is not very good at this, so she is not good at physical combat.
　She has a lot of magic power, but she has no sense of movement, so she's not good at moving her body in tandem.

"Hmm.

　After a while, he began to sweat.
　This training is unassuming, but surprisingly hard.
　Let's take a break.
　As I look around, I suddenly realize that this place looks familiar.

By the way, Hannibal was in this area the other day.

　I think this is where I saw him from the bathhouse.
　I looked for his footprints and found them.
　Since it's a good opportunity, I'll take a walk and follow them.

"Is this the ...... annex?

　After following the footprints for a while, I arrived at the house where the beastmen were staying.
　I wondered what they were doing there in the middle of the night.
　The footprints led to the back gate.

...... Is something there?

　As I approached the back gate, I stopped at the sign of someone.
　I looked behind the gate and saw someone standing in the courtyard.

Who's there?

　Suddenly, the person calls out to you.
　I've been out of sight, but I didn't realize it. ...... No, of course not.
　The person is the former Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Army, the Beast King LeAnn.
　I let out a sigh and walked out of the room.
