Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

The city Malt, the vast mansion that exists on its outskirts.

There were now three figures in the Latour family garden.

I find myself in training because both of them are moving violently and the other stands to oversee those two.

One is a servant of the Latour family, Isaac.

And the other two were Lina and Alize.

"... that's about it. You can rest."

With that word of Isaac, they exhaled and sat down on the ground.

"Ha, ha..."

"I'm tired..."

I couldn't move anymore, looking at the two people who said, Isaac rubbed his jaw,

"This is about the beginning..."

Because of what I said, Lina and Alize blued their faces.

Isaac laughed and stared at those two,

"It's a joke. Lina is working hard on her run, and Alize said she had guts that year... but I really thought we'd get there sooner, but at this rate, both of you would be good adventurers"

That's what I said, so they were relieved.

Initially, they were two people who were mainly learning from Isaac about witchcraft training, but it was only natural that it progressed towards martial arts.

There are various methods of activation of witchcraft, but what is common is witchcraft that deals with and activates the magic present in its own body, and this is also what the two of them are learning first.

Some others utilize the magic that exists in the air or stored in other containers, but the basics only use their own magic.

But because we're going to use the magic in our own bodies, if we use magic over and over again, we'll end up empty.

Magic power recovers if you put aside time, but if you still use up the magic you've accumulated, it's normal that you won't be back to normal until a few hours have passed.

Therefore, if we ran out of magic, we would be able to have hand-held time, so Lina and Alize decided to put that time into martial arts training.

That was initially as simple as repeating the moulds and training methods learned to Lent, but Isaac, who was watching this, began to give some advice.

Both Lina and Alize had quite an honest personality, and I knew repeatedly that Isaac was quite capable of witchcraft training, so I accepted that advice too.

Plus, you'd get tired of just swinging, and a variety of menus were added to it.

It's now up to the last mock fight with Isaac, and his strength is considerably higher compared to when the Lents left the city.

But neither Lina nor Alize noticed that at all.

Because in the last mock fight, it always ends in the same way, at the same time, defeating Isaac.

Of course, I had trouble losing my motivation with that, so I praised it moderately between trainings.

But it also seems to be coming to the limit.

"... I wonder if I've gotten a little stronger..."

Poop, and so on. Isaac captured Lina's mouth that way with her high-performance ears as that vampire.

As for Lina, she just said to herself at such a volume that no one could hear her, but Isaac's ears are enough to capture even the sound of a needle that fell on the property if that bothered her her.

I could afford Lina's solo talk, etc.

So, says Isaac.

"...... lina"

"Ah, yes. What is it?

"Why don't you take it by yourself every once in a while, even at your request? You'll get tired of just training."

Here recently, Lina was full of heads about Lent and the others asking her to do something about Alize, hardly taking any requests, etc.

Even if I did, it was like cleaning up all over town, avoiding having to go to the labyrinth or go away.

It wasn't that I didn't want to, but Lina herself, like her first disciple, was happy and wanted to stay strong every day.

That's why Lina says.

"But..."

The words that followed would have been: I can't leave the city because I have Alize, no, I don't want to, but Alize, the person of the day, said earlier.

"Lina, don't worry about me, sister. You can go! You said you missed your nostalgia lately, didn't you?

"What, were you listening...?

Indeed, recently, Lina's nostalgia had become somewhat lonely.

I'm far from living that day like I used to, because the range of requests I can receive has expanded considerably compared to the old days, and I don't have to go that far to be able to see things like collecting medicinal herbs.

Still, there is something unforgivable about buying a preference, and sometimes it can be bankrupt if you don't hunt demons with a firm request.

And now, that bankruptcy was close.

It's not in my memory, but I blur about it and maybe I was crushing it when I was with Alize.

Ultimately, there is no problem in Nojuku when it comes to trouble.

With this body now, the darkness of the night is rather comfortable, and if someone is going to attack you, it is possible to escape with "differentiation".

But when you do that, the Vampire Hunter can sniff out existence and come, and you can't use the skills you've acquired as a vampire all over town.

I heard and knew from Lent and Isaac that even if I were found, I wouldn't be judged a vampire, but I still don't want to risk not having to.

Therefore, when it comes to Nojuku also being inside......, it is still time for Lina to go hunting.

So I decide that this place is sweet for Alize's words.

"Mm-hmm. Okay. If Alize says so... but you have to train hard while I'm gone."

That said, Alize,

"Yeah. Sure."

and nod, followed by a

"Well, don't worry about that because if you go through here about it, I'll take care of you. So for today, is Lina going home? If you're going to get a request tomorrow, you're going to need to get ready."

"Yeah, right... Alize is..."

"I'll train a little more and then I'll go home."

"Really? Well, good luck. Regards, Mr. Isaac"

"Yes, I understand."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... now Lina will regain her confidence too"

After Lina leaves, Isaac grunts so, Alize says.

"I knew you were losing confidence, Lina?

"Right. I guess you don't feel much stronger. Mr. Alize, I'm not worried because you don't seem to be."

"I work hard in an orphanage every day… I've been feeling tired and physically fit lately."

"I see. Because that wouldn't have happened to Mr. Lina either. It was quite a bit more rigorous than Mr. Alize's training, and if he got to the inn, he would have slept well enough."

"... Mr. Isaac is a ghost sometimes."

"Ha, I'm always a ghost"

…… Really? It's kind of you to talk like this. It's cool. Aren't you getting married or something?

"I serve this house, so those things... well. Let's get back to training. They've called me a ghost, so let's be a little harsh, shall we?

"Yep... I'll do my best."
