27 Kagura Mikazuchi 2 Part II (1/2)
The next morning after meeting Kagura, I work up to the sound of a loud thunder. It seems the rain never stopped and it doesn't seem like it will anytime soon. I sat up and stretched myself and while I turned my body towards Kagura's direction while stretching my waist, I saw her looking at me with a very high concentration.
”What?”
”Ah! No, nothing…. It's just that I have only seen you from a bit far away so, uh, I was curious?”
”You've seen me before? When? I never noticed I had a cute girl like you watching me.”
It's true I never noticed and it's also true that she is cut but she is even cuter when she blushes. I mean just the sight of her currently blushing while fiddling with her finger with a happy smile is cuteness overloaded.
It seems that she used to follow Erza into the forest when she came to meet me. Damn, I never even noticed. Should I be proud of the dedication I showed to Erza or should I be cursing myself for letting my guard down and let someone approach me without my knowledge. Wait, she really is giving me the stalker creeps. I need to be careful in not turning her into a yandere, I seriously don't want that.
We freshened up a bit and I once again went to buy some food which we then ate after some cooking, got to keep up the appearance after all. But it was only after eating that I realized, won't she know when we teleport to the future? Well, I guess I'll just have to make it like we went back by an accident and start training her now.
When she is not giving me the creeps with her stalker-like syndrome, she is a very strong girl. I mean, who else can survive their sanity from being tested when you lost your only family in the world and those who were close to you and if that wasn't enough, you were sent to an unknown time and place. She really is a strong girl.
I told her we will begin her training right now and brought her outside into the rain. After a night's rest near a fire which warmed her up and food to finally eat, she was much healthier and so can survive the rain. It will also temper her body so that it could adjust to cold faster.
It was the same as everyone else really. I had her run around the forest without a drop in speed while dodging trees and rocks to build up her stamina and warm up. After that I had to carry her back into the cave where she sat to rest a bit. After gaining back a bit more strength, we once again continued with our training but inside the cave this time.
I had her stretch to ease muscle cramps which I enjoyed looking at her blush when I helped her by touching her. After that she had to do basic exercises like push-ups, pull-ups and weight lifting. As I was in charge of her training, I was also in charge of giving her encouragement to continue and correct what she was doing wrong which could have led to her having injuries.
We ended the day when I was satisfied and I let her rest while I went and once again bought something from a town. Unlike last two times, this time I bought a complete boar which only had very little wounds showing that it was killed by a skilled hunter. We had a very sumptuous meal with the boar meet and after eating, soon both of us drifted off to sleep.
Days went by and almost a week after that the rain finally stopped. It was time I teleported Kagura and I to the future and continue her training and then after around two years, send her to Mermaid Heel so that she will be back into the canon timeline.
