I finished inspecting the "Manaita" and "Yin-Yang Sword - Yin" that I used in training to the point where I could call them my beloved swords, and I made sure that my shoes were comfortable.
I've been doing dynamic stretching as a close-up, and when I was doing more flexibility, Aina gave me a hand.

'You're finally showing off. 'My lord,'
Yeah. Will I get through...?
'Well, I don't know. But my lord has trained well enough to give me a shot, so I'll just have to trust myself to do it.

Yes. In special training, he was able to strike a blow at Aina.
However, Aina fights by taking the attack head-on firmly, waiting for her opponent to stop breathing with her basic, ironclad defense, and then pushing with power like a fierce fire at the right moment to cause an opening or shortness of breath, utilizing her defense and offensive power.

It was only because Aina was able to take advantage of her speed with accelerated directionality (Vector Axel) and the use of Invisible Prison (Invisible Jail) and Aina received it from the front that she was able to land a blow.

In contrast, Sorte and Renge are a different type of player than Aina, using their speed and distance to evade and break their opponents with a series of attacks, pushing with their hands and speed.
If you don't have a solid recovery after being avoided, you'll probably be stuck on the counter.

''Soooo.............''
Are you nervous?
Well I'm tempted to ask for the results of my hard work. It's probably a pittance compared to the time you've all been training for, though.

The results won't come because it was hard and you worked hard, but I hope it's still something.
.........Or rather, you don't want to be disappointed because Aina and the others are busy with their adventuring business, but you've been asked to accompany them in training.

''Huh. That's true, but my lord is steadily getting stronger.
Really?　Aina has a soft spot for me....
Hmm. I don't think so, huh?　I'm sure I was very strict during the training so that my lord wouldn't be so smug that he'd get his foot out of his mouth.
"Yeah..... When the sword accidentally hit my waist and knocked me off, you flew right back to me and worried about me?
'That ... that was just ... it hit me harder than I thought it would, and I guess I was just worried that my lord was not going to be important ...'
'And for that matter, I've had my recovery potion and I'm telling you I'm fine, but I'm done for the day!　I'm going to take a hot spring and get some rest!　And you were worried about it in the hot springs, stroking it and lowering your eyebrows and getting depressed, weren't you?
"Umm........I was worried that my lord would not leave any scars on his body....... Besides, since you worked so hard every day, I thought it was okay to take a break from time to time...

Aina settled perfectly beside me and stroked her bruised and reddened area with concern.
My armpit gets freaked out when someone else touches it, and it was cute and nice to see that she thought it was painful, but she was desperately worried about it.

'What are you flirting with?'

I wanted to flirt a bit more, but unfortunately, Sorte appeared behind me with a spear.

'Hmm?　Do you envy him?
'Ha, ha!　I just thought you could afford it before your mock fight with me!
'I can't afford it, so I've been flirting with Aina to try and calm her down. Hey, Aina.
"...I see. My lord must have been playing a joke on me.

Oh, I teased her.
Even so, it's typical for Aina to be kind enough to help you with your flexibility.

Today, the two of you can see what you've been training to do after all that sneaking around, right?
Yeah, that's the plan.
I've taken care to avoid looking at them, so you'll have to show me the results of that.

Oh, really?
I'm sorry I made you guys uncomfortable.
All the more reason.

I won't let you down.

Okay, I think my hips are okay.
Let's go over your legs and hips carefully.

"Goshujin!

Just when I thought Aina had let go of my hand from her back, it hit me in the back!
Bend over!　I'm gonna go over my limit!

'Flexible?　I'll help you!
'No, wait, my back is done!　Don't push it, don't push it!

Renge pushes me gingerly, and I struggle to stop her.
Renge pushes me to the very edge of my true limit, and I start to sweat fat.

'Is that so?　So we're going to have a leg spread then.

With that, Renge walks forward and spreads his legs gingerly.

''Moderate?　Just go easy on him, okay?
I know, I know!　Yay!

I'm not talking about "I'm softened up"!

Aren't you excited?
Of course, seeing the results of your husband's secret training makes me excited!

I have a hard body to begin with, so my knee floats, but Sorte holds it down tightly....
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, my leg is cramped!

Huh ... huh ...
Is your husband breathing hard?　And you're sweating a lot, but will you be okay with the mock battle now?
Whose fault is it...?

I managed to regain my composure and finish my flexibility, and after a light swing, I confronted the Sorte in front of me.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, exhaled slowly and took a focused stance.

'Then both sides. You're ready.
Yeah." "Yeah.

While listening to Aina's voice, I open my eyes and wait for the signal to start.

''Mock battle........begin!
Phew!

The moment you hear the signal to start the mock battle, you step forward.
If you're dealing with Sorte, it's important to know how much you can bite on your own spacing.
Because the spacing of the spear is long, so there's no way to do it if you're out of range.

However, Sorte didn't move from the spot, but first took a passive stance.
Apparently, this time he's going to take it head-on to see the results of his special training.

''Haha!''

Even though the attack from the upper level was handled with ease by the spear, he managed to repeat a series of attacks.

"It's a lot sharper than before. But the rhythm is monotonous.

He was timed and bounced away.
However, I clenched my upper body so that it wouldn't float up and managed to launch my next attack.

''I can't think that far yet!
Yeah. But you're growing up.

I'm so happy for you!
But not yet!
I managed to unleash a series of blows with my left and right swords, but Sorte still has a look of composure on her face.
I'm breathing hard and want to look up at any moment, though.

"A breathlessness is a swordlessness. It's so sweet.
Shit.....

I managed to insert my sword in time to defend myself just before I was about to receive a blow to my side, but I couldn't put any effort into it and was unable to keep my distance.

'Hmm. Shouldn't you stop using two swords after all?　You're going to look rough.
It's painful and I have an idea.

I'm sorry to say that you've left some distance between us, but I'm going to use it right away.
I changed the way I held the Yin-Yang sword and held it in my reverse hand.
And the moment I stepped in, I activated the 'Accelerating Directionality'.

I'm not going to be able to get to the point where I can't get to the point where I can't get to the point where I can't get to the point where I can't get to the point where I can't get to the point where I need to.

''Ha!
"Ha!

Although Solte looked surprised for a moment, she is still a competent person, and in no time she was able to calmly prepare herself to deal with the situation.
However, this one doesn't have the time to change the way it deals with such things.

The manaiter is set up so that the body opens up after swinging away, and then swinging sideways to aim at the legs with the momentum.
But Solte calmly avoids it on the spot... and that's fine.

Their backs are turned to each other, but expecting to be avoided, he slams on the brakes and somehow restrains his body from being taken away, and pokes at it with his sword tip, just to pierce it with the yin-yang sword in his reverse hand.
Ankles, calves, thighs, hips and arms scream, but this blow is the battle.

''It was so close........''
There you go.

With Sorte in the air, there is no option to avoid it.
If that's the case, you can activate an invisible prison on the track of the spear that you would use in defense to inhibit it and delay the defense.
And the Yin-Yang sword in the opposite hand is far faster than wielding it if you just thrust it out as it is.

''........I'll do it. But.
Wha...

He aimed with his yin-yang sword as Sorte fell, but Sorte's body didn't fall and the tip of the blade didn't hit him, and Sorte's body moved away from him.
And as soon as the tip of the blade was fully extended, Sorte's body also stopped and landed on the ground.
Oh no. It was quicker for Solte to hold the spear upside down before I thought I had to bring it back quickly.

''....Yeah. Lord, you're getting stronger. Well then, clench your teeth so you don't bite your tongue.

When I heard his voice, I felt a shock in my stomach.
And as soon as I realize I've been poked in the gut with a stone poke, I'm knocked out and sent rolling around the yard.

'There's a match!'

I don't need to hear Aina's declaration, I can't move.......
I manage to turn my body upward, spread my hands and lower my weapon.

''Geho........ghoho.......haha.......''

Oh shit.
This is........depressing.......
Perhaps he used the invisible prison as a fulcrum to knock down the spear, and then went down lower than the original landing point as it was.
Furthermore, the length of the spear was probably a bit shortened due to the fact that it was held in the opposite hand.
Even though it was his first time seeing it, he was too responsive....
Is this what is called the difference in actual battle experience?

''Are you okay Lord?''
'Goo-ho........oh......'

Solte reaches out to me and raises my body.
There's not that much damage to my body, but the damage to my mind.......
Honestly, I thought that if I threw away most of my defenses, I could at least get a blow.......

''You did a good job of using the invisibility prison to block movement, not defense.
"I tried not to use it until halfway through to make you aware of it, but.... I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Disappointed?　Why?
'Well, it didn't quite live up to my expectations after all...'

Training in secret!　I was eager to show you the results, but in the end, I couldn't even get a shot in.

I'm not sure what to expect........you got your shot in, so that's enough, right?　Lord. I'm getting stronger, properly, little by little.
"Huh?
'Yah!　Your husband worked hard!
'Aye. It's a sword point, but a blow is probably a blow.
Here, here. I feel a little numb, but I feel a little numb.

Sorte pointed to the abdomen I was aiming for.
Seriously?　Really?　Did you get it right?

'Whoa, whoa, whoa!　Seriously!　Yay!
'Oh, I'm telling you, it's really just a little bit, okay?　Don't get cocky, okay?
Oh, well...

Ahhhhh.... here it is. You hit here.........
He strokes his stomach, which is as thin as Solte's chest.
Ah, there's no wound left, right?　It's a yin-yang sword, and it's just going to get stuck for a bit, right?

Oh no but thank goodness....
I've never been faint and I've never been paper-thinly close.



No, because I just love it.
You look like the husband you had when you had a baby.


........well, I've never experienced it.

Gosh.

Hmm?
Wha-what are you...?　Here, here........you're having a baby!


Perhaps she brought a drink for us, but it seems that she has already been drunk by the garden first.
And maybe, or maybe I'm definitely mistaken.

''What do you mean ... your husband is compassionate about Sorte's belly!
"Sprouts!　Why are you doing this, that's too much!
Oh no........... Congratulations...............

Wendy collapses from her knees.
Still, you congratulate me properly, don't you?
Oh, no, I'm not having kids.

"Thank you, Wendy. When we have the baby, I'll have Wendy name it after me.
"Don't you get in, Solte!

After this, I had a hard time clearing up Wendy's misunderstandings, and I was exhausted, and I was beaten to a pulp in a mock battle with Renge.
I didn't know if the reason was because I hadn't seen the 'acceleration direction' for the first time or if it was simply my lack of concentration....
