61 Sarahs Training (1/2)

When big bro and Tsukiyomi-nee-san left, mom and dad started crying and screaming. They kept on saying why did their cute son grow up so fast. So they were holding it in the whole time. I guess they were trying to be something like dignified parents.

†

So today I once again practiced my swordsmanship and magic. I remembered big bro's movements that he used to win the spar with me, without even moving from his spot.

The only thing big bro did was observe, react, and attack. On the other hand, While fighting big bro what did I do?... I used my flashiest moves... No that's not what I did.

First I tried to deny him the sense of sight, then I tried to deny him movement. After that I came charging with my strongest attack. Big bro completely read me and countered. How then should I proceed... No, it was not like that, it might have been because of the differences in our basic abilities?... Hm, no use thinking about it, better just keep on practicing.

A few days later news arrived from the capital. A messenger was sent to the three warrior families, Hardy, Rogue, and Regius. The heads of each of the families were to come to the capital. This must be about the true humanity.

†

Dad left for the capital, about three days have passed. It was around that time when mom was summoned next. She didn't want to go and leave me behind but I told her I'll be alright with the servants. So now I'm alone with the servants inside this mansion. I wanted them to treat me like family but they wouldn't do so. They would always put a distance between me and them.

†

So with that I kept on training and training. Mom and dad couldn't return because they were given a lot of missions from the kingdom. Being a part of the three warrior families, it was our obligation to devote our sword for the kingdom.

†

A month has passed and I received a letter that mom and dad might not come back this year. Big bro was also out and no one was here to play with me. I felt lonely truly lonely... No I can't think like that! I must continue my training. As long as I can get stronger I'm sure I won't be left behind.
