179-Episode 4 Say I'm sorry



 Of course we don't train all the time.
 Sometimes the two of us even play a childish game together.

 Right now, we are playing tag.

This time, Ark is playing tag! Catch me.

 I chase after Leila, who is running around in the forest at about fifty kilometers per hour in every direction.
 Every once in a while, Leila will release an attack magic, so I have to avoid it.

''Garruah!''
Get out of my way!
Gah!

 Naturally, since this is a forest, there are times when demons come out.

 



'Hey, hey Befi! Grow up~!

 Sometimes it's our housemate (?). She also plays with the following characters.
 Leila's favorite is Befi.

Hm.

 In the square away from the town, Befi shows her true form.
 It was a huge behemoth, a behemoth that was over three hundred meters long.

 It seems that they are not human beings, but followers of their father.
 Moreover, they are said to be mythical grade demons.

''Wow!''

 Leila climbs up the behemoth's body like a rock climber, running around at the top of a hill higher than a little hill.
 The behemoth's elastic skin makes it bounce like a trampoline, which is apparently a lot of fun.

'Libby get big too!'
I don't blame you.

 Libby is also a mythical grade demon.
 Normally Leviathan is supposed to live in the sea, but it seems to be able to live on land without any problems.

''Waaaaaahhh!

 Leila is sliding down Libby's long body at breakneck speed like a giant slide.
 She's no longer treating the mythical grade demon as a complete park plaything.......

''Wow, I am........''
Fenny's hot, so it's good!
Boom!

 Because it's a Phoenix that's always on fire all over, and if you ride it, you'll get burned. 
 Once before, Leila had tried to fly on Fenny's back instead of listening to me, even though I had told her not to, but her blessing was soon totaled and she was in a lot of trouble.



 We lived those days, and before I knew it, we were eight years old.

 We were already strong enough to take down a wyvern, and even if we were left deep in the forest for training, the two of us were able to come back on our own.
 At his age, he already has a lot of experience in survival.

''Hey, dude,''
...?

 One day.
 Me and Leila had been playing outside of town and as we were about to head home together, there was a group of people who called out to us.

 It was the boys of this town.
 However, they are probably older than I am now.

'Me?'
Yeah, it's you, man.

 The boy who seems to be the leader among them looks at me with a mocking expression.

You're always playing with women, aren't you! The effeminate one!

 I was suddenly dismissed.
 It's true that I'm with Leila all the time, even when I'm not in training.
 It's partly because we're twins and we're close, but it's also because I don't know what I'll get up to if I leave Leila alone.

 But maybe that's why I don't have any friends of the same age.
 Well, I'm a junior high school student inside, and it wouldn't be fun to play with boys my age anyway.

 Even so, I'm still feminine....
 I don't have any of those elements when I play with Leila, though.

 The playground is outside of town, so I've never seen us playing there.
 I'm sure you're just imagining things.

Do you know what they say? Did you know that their father is unemployed!
'Seriously? I didn't know that profession existed!

 Maybe it was because I wasn't moved at all, but they turned the brunt of it on our dad.
 They say it's good if you can make fun of him, whatever you want.

 If you ignore such childish - but childish - slander, you can just ignore it....

'Mmm! My dad's awesome!

 It was.
 Leila was also a child.

 Her physical abilities were already in a different dimension, but her mental age was a straightforward eight-year-old.
 Moreover, she has a fatherly temperament, so there was no way she would stay silent after being disgraced by her father.

''Of course you can't do anything with an 'unemployed'. In this world, profession is everything. Just like this!

 The leader boy draws his sword from his waist.
 Then he makes a bare swing.

''How's that! During the recent blessing ceremony, I was given the profession of the Swordsman!

 After showing me a full range of sword skills, the boy said proudly.

 I was immensely disappointed.

 ........eh? What's the big deal at all?
 Is this the Swordsman? Because it's still right after the blessing?

 But the boy seemed to take my reaction as "scared".

Ha, your father would kill you all in a heartbeat if he saw me!
I don't think that's possible, do you?
Oh, Leila!

 I noticed that Leila had shrunk to the ground and was moving in front of the boy.

"Huh?

 The boy wasn't able to react at all to Leila, who suddenly appeared in front of him.

''Oh, you, when did you........''
Hey, I don't think you can beat Leila with a sword like that.
...Oh, my God!

 The boy slashed Leila.
 But the sword easily cuts through the sky.

''This way?
Uh, back! Don't lick it!

 The boy flips his body around and releases a slash.

 Snap.

 Leila grabbed the tip of the sword with her bare hands.

''Nah, nah........''

 The boy backed away with a bright blue face.
 But Leila smiled - but her eyes weren't smiling - as she closed the distance between them, not wanting to let him get away, and said.

'Can you tell your dad you're sorry?'
Huh.
Can you tell my dad you're sorry?
'I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me!

 The boy yells frantically through tears.

'Don't you ever say that again, okay?'
I understand! I won't say anymore! Oh, you guys don't say that either!

 Bum bum, his cronies also shook their heads in a hurry.

 Then they ran away like a de-rabbit.

 .........Yeah, let's not say bad words about your father in front of Leila.
