A Misunderstood Mentor

It was the first time I stayed in a human inn.

Four days from tomorrow, the four of us will live alone with Lord Takumi in turn.

Sasha lodged me for that, but I didn't think all four of them were in the same room.

"Tomorrow is early, and I'm going to go to bed."

"What are you talking about, Alice? When a girl stays more than one night, she has to have a love story (coibana) until morning."

"Oh, really? Then we'll have no choice."

Alice is totally a Sasha toy.

Earlier, Alice's makeup, which was said to be for the royal palace and left unattended, had turned into something horrible, like being cursed by some tribe.

"Look, Chloe and Leia, come here, too. We've got plenty of booze to make it easier for us to talk."

"No, I'm still old enough to drink. Oh, dear Alice, don't drink trumpets."

Leia rushes to mix Alice to a stop.

Not good. I'm totally caught up in Sasha's pace.

This place needs to be well deluded and run...

"Coo, help me, we're soaking liquor!

"Ah, Sister Cal, when?!

Sister Cal, who should have been on her hips, is being taken by a drunk Alice and stuck in a liquor barrel.

"Look, Chloe swallows it, too, and smashes it all for real. Ugh!

"Muppoo."

I was just about to go help my sister Cal, and Sasha stuck every bottle of booze in her.

With tremendous momentum, the liquor runs down my throat.

Oh, this is the Akan one.

That's what I thought, and our consciousness gets pretty obscure.

After this, I didn't remember anything at all about what I told you when I woke up.

I woke up a little before morning.

I slept in bed like Sasha and Leia were intertwined.

Sister Cal was pinched between them for some reason.

What happened is an eternal mystery.

I was left a little drunk, so when I opened the window to hit the cold wind outside, Alice was sitting in a wooden chair on the balcony.

"Good morning, Alice"

"Mm-hmm. Almost morning. Good morning, Chloe."

Alice's face was a little blushed.

There is still alcohol left, it is not the wind, it seems to be softening somewhere and restless.

"Maybe you're nervous because I'm going to Lord Takumi's?

Bikun, and Alice's body shakes.

"Oh, no, that's not true. Takumi and I have been together since childhood. You can't be alone now, you can't be nervous."

"I think it's going to mean something different to when I was a kid,"

When she said that, Alice, she sweated and whistled like a wasp.

But I can only hear the air sound of clumsy or faint hiccups, hiccups.

"You like Lord Takumi."

"... you're not? Then turn back the paper I gave you."

Speaking of which, I was getting a mysterious piece of paper not long ago that said number six.

"I didn't say I didn't like it. It's just a little bit different from when we met."

"What do you mean?

"At first, I was attracted to its strength. But it wasn't pure affection, it seemed like he was trying to use Lord Takumi for the prosperity of the Dragon clan."

It is not impossible for us dragons to dominate this world if we welcome Lord Takumi as king of the Dragon clan. That's how I was thinking.

"Not now?

"Being together for a long time has shown us that Lord Takumi's charm is not only strong."

"Um, you know exactly what I mean. Exactly."

Yeah, yeah, Alice snorts satisfied like she was praised for staying together.

"There's one thing I've been wondering lately about Lord Takumi."

"Well, what is it, you can say it"

"... Is Lord Takumi really strong?

Ever since I heard Sister Cal's voice, I've been asking that question.

Sister Cal's response to Lord Takumi is not addressed to the strong, but rather to the weak, in such an attitude as to protect them.

More takumi classes begin, and getting involved in that class makes the question even stronger.

And I realized the fact that I had never seen Lord Takumi fight properly yet.

"I don't know what you mean." Does that mean spiritual strength or something?

"No, it means as much physically as you want. From Lord Takumi, I can't feel the aura of the mighty like I can feel from Alice or Nurbee. I hear to Leia that if Lord Takumi unleashes all the power he can possess, this world will perish, but isn't it strange that even when it comes to fighting someone, he won't unleash any power at all"

Even Sister Cal had never heard of it.

If Lord Takumi were really weak, what emotions would I have?

Maybe he didn't like it to be known to his in-laws, sister Cal.

"Hmm, nonsense. I've been aware of that since we met."

"So, after all, Lord Takumi is really weak, not the strongest, etc?

"No, Takumi is still training to be even stronger."

Alice begins to speak with confidence.

"Even if you train normally when you're as strong as a eagle or a takumi, the results you get are insignificant. But Takumi has achieved so much by keeping her power to the limit."

"Ha, ha"

I would have believed the whole thing if I had been myself before, but now I can't believe it anymore.

I have seen Lord Takumi interact with Sister Kal many times during battle and class troubles.

"Once upon a time, even when we were on an adventure together, Takumi was dying many times, and every time we got so much power. One of the most awesome is the blow of the chimera..."

Alice's story never stopped.

Continue to talk extensively about Lord Takumi, who is good at it.

Looking really fun, as I watched Alice speak so enthusiastically about Lord Takumi, I began to wonder whether Lord Takumi was strong or weak.

Yeah, that's right.

I like Lord Takumi.

I feel so happy together, including those who gather around him.

It doesn't matter if he's strong or weak.

With Alice's story unfinished, sometime the sun begins to rise and the promised time arrives.

"Ah, how dare you, at this hour!

He hastily began his discipline and spoke to Alice's back, who was leaving with a bummer.

"Good luck with that. I can't lose, either."

"Oh, I'm coming. I don't think we can beat the eagle, but Chloe should try."

I smile unexpectedly as I drop off Alice, who works so hard.

Can I stay like this for a while?

With that in mind, I sat down in the chair where Alice was.
