How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 22



Chapter 22. Princess' swordsmanship training (2) If I send Kania alone, she might get hurt while running wild.

He's also the type who secretly doesn't listen to his subordinates, so it seems that he meant to send me along and act as a break for Kania noona.

Did he decide that if he sent me, who had no talent for swordsmanship, with me, he would act with such caution?

Was it a suggestion that I had thought about, that if I had a weak younger brother, I would come to my senses and act to some extent, no matter how many times I got into trouble.

....understood... well... but...

“Don't you want to go...?”

Kania noona asked sadly.

That's why it's difficult to act like someone who got dumped while asking you out on a date.

“Wait.”

Let's ponder for a moment.

Monster hunting... I really don't like it.

Having dealt with a lot of monsters in my previous life, I got tired of them.

But what my sister is suggesting now is that we go together forever.

I'm not asking you to catch monsters.

in other words. You mean watching?

....Does it matter if I go?

“You wouldn’t tell me to swing a sword, would you?”

When I asked to confirm just in case, Kanianuna burst out laughing as if it was absurd.

“don't worry. Even if a monster attacks, I will protect you.”

You are trustworthy.

I would really like it.

It's unsettling that he's so overconfident, but it seems like he's accompanied by a full body of escorts.

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

....and. I don't even want to send my sister alone.

For some reason, the king's feelings are understandable.

“Okay, I’ll go too!”

“huh! If it was Arell, I thought you would go with me.”

When I agree, my sister suddenly hugs me tightly.

Can you think of going out to play?

Come to think of it, I have never been out of the palace.

Sometimes you have to go for a walk.

....That walk is the way to watch my sister slicing up monsters.

Well, let's assume that's the case.

What would you like to pack for a packed lunch?

* * *

The destination for Kania's sister's training was a mountain located an hour or so away from the royal capital.

It is said that this place is a place where many people are looking for knights to perform.

The mountain is not too steep to get lost in. It is said that the lord of this place is also managing it so that the appropriate number of monsters inhabit it on purpose.

Is it literally a hunting ground?

We are currently riding horses toward the hunting ground.

“Hey!”

I pull the reins and give a signal, and the horse with me gallops through the field.

Every time I run, the wind that wraps around my body is moderately refreshing.

It's been a long time since I've been riding a horse, so I feel a little fresh.

Originally, it was suggested that it would be better to ride the same horse behind Sister Kania, but somehow, seeing a horse after a long time makes my blood boil.

As soon as I got on the horse, for some reason I wanted to gallop.

I confidently said that I could ride a horse by myself, and showed off my horseback riding in front of everyone's uneasy eyes.

“Arel is not good at moving his body, but is he good at horseback riding?”

Kania noona admires as she skillfully rides right next to me.

“It’s because the words are clever. Is that older sister riding well?”

Rather, what I want to praise is me.

I've already driven horses many times in my previous life, so I'm good at handling skills.

Kania-nee who runs side by side with me like that is not an ordinary talent.

After such a long time, we exercised our galloping instinct and rode to our heart's content, gathering at the foot of the mountain, our destination.

Here, we plan to prepare our camp first and then enter the mountain in earnest from tomorrow.

A total of five hundred troops.

At least twenty of them are knights who have awakened their Aurors.

By the way, only goblins, orcs, and beast-type monsters lived in those mountains.

Excess power that will destroy the ecosystem here at least three times.

I wondered if I was being overprotective, but now that I think about it, we are royalty no matter how we look.

Well, this should be enough to be safe.

Early the next morning we went into the mountains.

As for the method of training, first for safety, the troops who took the lead first lure the monsters here, and then Kania-sister directly deals with the monsters that drove them there.

Of course, experienced knights are waiting with swords in hand, just in case, while Kania is dealing with monsters.

And I'm watching from the rear.

Then let's take a look

First, wizards cast spells.

It is magic to attract monsters.

Purple light spreads in front like a haze, and after a while, I feel a number of signs approaching this way.

“Twenty orcs.”

First, the knight who was contacted by the preceding soldiers reports.

Are you an orc from the start?

hmm? Aren't goblins appropriate?

“Are you okay?”

When the knight asked Sister Kania, she nodded without hesitation.

He has already drawn his sword and is full of enthusiasm.

After a while, a group of orcs appeared this way.

He was holding a blunt weapon made of moderately carved wood, and had dark green skin, a body that could have stood as high as 3 meters, and a face like a pig.

To be honest, I can't say I'm a likable type at all.

The orcs here are also very ugly.

“...Are you really okay?”

“huh. No problem.”

Kania's sister looked a bit nervous, but she never seemed frightened.

On the contrary, it seemed as if it wanted to run at it right away, as if moths were aching.

As the orc group approached to a reasonable distance, the knights rushed towards the orc group in unison.

And Kania's sister confronted an orc that the knights left behind on purpose.

it's the first practice

Although the Orc was put into a state of hypnosis by the wizards, his overall ability was reduced. Still, don't be alarmed.

While I and the escorting knights watched without taking their eyes off, Kania noona swung her sword.

“Haaaaaaaa!”

Along with a sound of uninhibited spirit, the blade of the sword shimmered and drew a silver trajectory.

Chow ah!

The sound of tough skin and flesh being cut was heard.

In a single blow, the orc's gigantic body collapsed, suffocating.

It's the first opponent anyway, so it's more meaningful to test whether you can really wield a sword against a living monster than a breathtaking real battle.

In that respect, Kania noona had no hesitation.

also innate

Sighing slightly, Kanianuna raised her sword high.

The practice continued for several days.

Not only Orcs, but also various monsters and wild beasts, Kania continued to wield her sword.

Skillfully move and dodge the monster's attack, aim for an opening and suffocate it with a sword.

It is faithful to the basics and full of power.

“ha. Ha...

He breathes heavily with the blood gushing out of him, but he doesn't frown.

“next!”

It's amazing.....

I admired it from the bottom of my heart.

Of course, wiping out monsters is simple enough for me, but what surprised me was Kania noona's guts.

I've never been discouraged so far.

Usually, no matter how much training you do, you will be hesitant when you first experience combat.

When I first reincarnated, just holding a sword made me shudder.

No matter how much you practice, with that weight. And when he was conscious of what to do with his sword, even the most courageous man would be hesitant at first.

But Kania noona had no hesitation.

It seemed like nothing was wrong at all, but he quickly shook it off and swung his sword neatly.

In that short moment, did he finish organizing his mind and prepare to slash and kill the monster?

After all, is guts the greatest talent?

While I was in admiration, this time, Kania-sister cut a wolf of similar size with her sword.

Is this the fourth one today?

* * *

After today's training was over, we returned to the campsite and had dinner while sitting side by side in the camp.

“Im not tired?”

When I asked worriedly, Kania noona smiled brightly.

I can't believe it's the same person as the girl who was swinging the sword with terrifying momentum just before.

“are you okay? Rather, I wanted to see more fights.”

“It’s good not to push yourself too hard.”

It is common for fledglings who see blood for the first time to get drunk on their skills and make mistakes.

It's okay if you make a little mistake, but usually beginners who make mistakes like this are bound to have a big accident.

When I advised him out of concern, Kania noona stroked my head and said not to worry.

Normally, she would talk lively or laugh a little, but today's noona has a strange atmosphere.

Normally, I wasn't more iron than my age. Today, smile befitting a 16-year-old.

Is it because you killed monsters?

Or is there another reason?

....As expected, I'm concerned.

“....excuse me. Why does Noona want to be so strong?”

Now that this opportunity has come, I wondered if I could ask.

From before, I thought that my sister's obsession with swords was not something to be passed over.

“Hmm? Why?”

My sister crossed her arms and thought.

“Seeing Arell made me feel that way.”

“yes?”

why does my name appear

“Arel earns a lot of money by doing what he's good at... and gets recognized for that.”

“...That's right.”

Should I say admit it?

Although usually only for my desires.

“I want to too.”

“I am a princess. Even if you hold a sword and swing it. Not everyone is genuinely happy... I know you think you'll probably fall for the sword only once and then give up.”

Kania-sister continued speaking in a bitter tone.

“And… someday I will marry someone I don’t even know.”

arranged marriage.

This is normal in an aristocratic society.

Moreover, if you are a princess, you will have to be engaged to someone, even for political reasons.

That won't be a thing in the distant future.

“I hate that.”

In Kania's sister's eyes, there was a firm will to refuse.

It is undoubtedly an attitude that denies the life that has already been arbitrarily arranged.

“I will do what I want to do. I don’t like to follow a set schedule.”

....Is that how it happened?

“I will decide my fate.”

I understand.

I can't help but sympathize with that feeling.

They struggle against their fate and their environment. There's no way I can understand that feeling.

“are you okay. You can change it.”

i guarantee

On what basis do you speak?

I can assure you because I've been through a lot of life in the meantime.

In the meantime, I have changed many things while repeating my previous life countless times.

sometimes country. Sometimes, the fate of the star itself is greatly scaled. Sometimes I even changed someone's future.

That's why I can be confident that I know the trick to some extent.

Destiny is bound to deviate as much as it struggles.

It's based on nothing but my experience.

“thank you. Arell.”

Perhaps thinking that I was comforting her, Kania noona stroked my hair again.

Ummm.....

Kania noona's sword training... I have to sincerely support her.
