To A Relaxing Tomorrow

「Despite being able to a sword at that level, Alfried-kun is also good at using magic. I wonder if it is because Elnsama has been teaching you from a young age after all?」

Maybe she heard about my conversation with Eric, Natashsan asked us that.

Honestly, it was mostly self-taught and I hadn’t learned from Elnkaasan that much, but it is true that I saw Elnkaasan uses magic, brought up and learned magic from her, and though occasionally, she gave me advice just like with the water ball before ever since I was little.

And besides, I feel that it will be terrible if I don’t say it’s due to Elnkaasan’s care if I consider the current flow of conversation.

「Yes, it’s all thanks to my mother’s guidance since I was little」

「Oh! I knew it!」

When I said that, Natashsan happily claps her hands. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

However, Elnkaasan - who was listening next to me - has a complicated smile on her face as she say,

「Y, yes, but this child likes magic and I feel like he has gotten better at it」

「That’s not true. The reason Alfried-kun is this good at magic was that Elnsama taught him so carefully!」

「I, I wonder about that」

Elnkaasan also has an ambiguous expression on her face, maybe it’s difficult for her to assert that it’s due to her?

Hm? Is the flow of this conversation to ask for her for magic training?

「Well if you don’t mind, could you please also teach our children magic? Try as our might, both Egar and I are not very good at magic so we can not teach our children very well」

Ooh, so it seems like my prediction proved to be right.

Apparently, Natashsan wants to ask Elnkaasan to teach her children a magic lesson.

「There is no way someone like me can really teach others magic」

Elnkaasan tries to politely decline it while smiling gracefully.

But inside, it’s not something like a modest mentality or something, probably because she simply feels it’s a hassle for her to teach magic.

If she were to teach other people’s children, rather than me, Eleonorneesan, and Sylvio-niisan, then she have to properly watch over everyone.

And if that’s the case, it’s obvious that she has to be outside under the blazing hot sun to supervise everyone constantly. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I can clearly understand the reason why Elnkaasan doesn’t want to do it just by thinking like her.

「That’s not true at all! What is the magician-sama who even repel a dragon saying now!」

「But being a magician who can use their magic well and being able to teach others well is different, you know?」

「No no, did Elnsama not give advice about magic to Alfried-kun in an easy-to-understand manner before? Just by hearing that, I was convinced that Elnsama was really good at teaching others magic」

It’s impossible to reject her simply because she showed the advice to me before and her personal history that was too grand.

Elnkaasan sinks into silence, unable to respond.

Fuuh, so Elnkaasan also makes this kind of mistake, huh.

「Hmmー but, it’s a swordsmanship joint training this time.....」

「What’s wrong?」

As Elnkaasan is troubled, - I don’t know whether it’s a good timing or bad timing - Nord-tousan arrived at our side.

「Ah it’s just the right time! Umm, actually I’m asking Elnsama to teach the children magic, but is it possible to include magic training during the joint training? 」

「I see, magic lesson. As a matter of fact, Egar-san and I were also thinking about that. Since it is easier for everyone to get tired in the sandy area under such hot weather, why don’t we include a magic lesson instead of having sword training for the whole day」

I see, that will be wonderful. Rather than having sword training for an entire day, it will basically be easier to have a magic lesson without moving your body around. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Nice, that idea. Let’s also include a magic training tomorrow」

The moment I said that, Elnkaasan’s expression slightly warped but I don’t mind her.

If tomorrow’s sword training can be shorter, I’m going to make it happen even if it means sacrificing my mother. 

「Don’t you also think that it will also be more productive if we include magic training in the middle rather than a whole day of sword training, Sylvio-niisan?」

「It will sound like I’m complaining, but it might be difficult to continue this packed training schedule for an entire day. Ahaha」

Un un, we already have no stamina left, and it is unreasonable for us to join Eleonorneesan and Lunsan and spar continuously.

Now then, after Sylvio-niisan gave his positive opinion, next is Eric.

「Are you also fine with that, Eric? It’s seldom you got the chance to be taught magic by a first-rate magician like Elnkaasan, you know」

「I certainly felt like I failed to improve in my magic. So as long as Elnsama doesn’t mind, I definitely would like to ask Elnsama to teach me」

Eric politely lowered his head.

Nice. As expected, she should be unable to ignore the kids’ request in front of Nord-tousan and Natashsan. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「……I understand. If you don’t mind me teaching you, I will give you magic training」

「「Thank you very much!」」

Natashsan and Eric raise their voice in joy.

And at the same time, I also let out cheers inside my heart.

「Well then, I will discuss this with Egar」

It should be because he received approval from the majority and Elnkaasan herself. Nord-tousan walks away to discuss it with Egar-san.

Fufufufufu, with this, tomorrow should be a magic training for half a day or so.

Eleonorneesan is going to complain somewhat, but it will be fine if we use the magic word of ‘It’s Natashsan’s request’ for that kind of situation.

So it was decided that tomorrow, we will not be as tired as today.

Haaー, if the future is bright even the scenery will look clear.

My heart feels so light and the sky and the sea look more beautiful.

「……Al, I’m going to be strict tomorrow, all right?」

「Ahaha, please go easy on me」

Elnkaasan was smiling gently at me, just that her eyes weren’t smiling.

「Yosh, that’s it for today’s training」

Eric, Sylvio-niisan, Elnkaasan, and Natashsan are having a friendly chat for some time.

I heard Egar-san say that.

Fuuh, so today’s training is finally over. It was truly long.

Let’s quickly go back to the mansion, take a bath, then eat a delicious dinner.

So I stand up and stretch myself while thinking like that. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Then, in the meanwhile Sylvio-niisan and Eric were putting on their shoes and ran to the beach.

Eehh? Even though we’re just going home, do we still need to gather there?

「Hey, don’t get absent-minded now Al should also go there」

Since Elnkaasan said that, I got no choice but to head toward the gathering place.

「Fuuh, it’s been a while since I moved around」

「……I’m exhausted already. I want to quickly return back home and take a bath. And I want to sleep」

There were the brightly smiling Eleonorneesan and Lunsan - who was covered in sand and looked worn out.

Eleonorneesan is looking extremely satisfied, guess it’s because she can train her swordsmanship from morning to evening due to having a friend with the same high level of skill to accompany her. Although having said that, she works up quite a sweat herself though not as sweaty with beads of sweat all over her body, and doesn’t look as exhausted as Lunsan.

「Ara? It’s rare for Luna to say something like that」

「……this is what happens when you keep on losing」

In the end, only Eleonorneesan and Lunsan are left on the field, and they had been sparring the whole time.

So if you keep on losing again and again and again, it’s probably unavoidable it will considerably wear out your stamina and willpower.

Knowing that kind of suffering, Sylvio-niisan and I send Lunsan looks of sympathy.

「……but, I will take beat you tomorrow」

「That’s the spirit」

However, Lunsan and Eleonorneesan are the same swordsmanship enthusiast so she doesn’t seem to look discouraged at all, maybe because she doesn’t like to lose. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Yeah. Lunsan is a friend of Eleonorneesan and gets along well with her. But you won’t be qualified to be her friend if you are not the same sword enthusiast as herー. 1

As I’m thinking about that kind of thing, Egar-san coughs 「kohon」.

With that as the signal, we straightened up our bodies and got into a posture to properly listen.

It’s a little strange that we can guess that the other person is going to say something just by hearing someone clearing their throat.

「Now then, today’s joint training is over. I think that everyone from the Slowlett house was having difficulties with the unfamiliar sandy ground and has built up more fatigue than usual, so you should all take a good rest today」

「「Yes!」」

I properly answer here since I’m in complete agreement with taking a good rest.

「Also, we decided to include magic training in the afternoon tomorrow so please keep that in mind」

「Ehー? It’s not sword training?」

Hearing Nord-tousan’s last words, Eleonorneesan - who is bad at magic - complained about it, just as I thought.

Sure enough, it looks like she’s extremely unhappy that we will also have magic training.

「Doing sword training for the whole day with such a packed training course like today is difficult after all. Setting Eleonora and miss Luna aside, Al, Sylvio, and Eric-kun can not keep up you know」

「I’m sorry. Natasha and I would like to have magic training and we had also asked Elnsama. I would appreciate it if you can spare a little time for everyone to have magic training」

「……understood」

As expected, guess she’s weak when Egar-san told her about the reason right in front of her like that, Eleonorneesan accepts it.

However, the look on her face seems to be a tiny bit dissatisfied.

I think it would be great if she shows a good, prideful outward appearance and have a polite smile even here, but it seems like such an attitude can’t be taken by her when swordsmanship is concerned.

I think it’s unskillful of her, but I thought it was a bit more like Eleonorneesan like that.

「……sorry, Eleonora. I also feel the same way with sword training, but it is rare to able to have the opportunity to be taught magic by a magician like Elnsama, so I want to learn magic」

「Okay. I won’t complain」

Guess she decided she won’t complain about it since her friend ask for it. Eleonorneesan withdraws her unhappy-looking expression from her face. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Hmm, it’s not like we are going to reduce our training time anyway. Besides I was also thinking that it was time to teach Eleonora about magic battles 」

「For real! You are going to teach me magic battle!? Hooray! 」

Hearing that she can do a magic battle, Eleonorneesan’s expression immediately becomes all smiles.

Truly, this sister is so lively after all. Good grief. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Then, dismissed」

「「Thank you very much!」」
