I Trained To Fix My Bad Habits
“While the experience of real fighting is not a waste, it’s not good that you’ve developed this habit…”
“Wuff!”
“No, good Leo… I could not have predicted that this would happen!”
“Wuff?”
“Leo, Mr. Ekenhart didn’t expect this to happen. Well, I think it’s just that I’m overthinking it.”
“Wuff.”
Leo barked as if to say that it was Mr. Ekenhart’s fault, because he was the one who made me fight.
Mr. Ekenhart was weak when it came to being blamed, and he cowered a little towards Leo.
While Mr. Ekenhart was the one who set it up, there was no way he could have known that it would result in this.
You never knew how a person would grow.
After explaining this, Leo finally nodded with satisfaction.
…It was all in the past now, and so we shouldn’t put any more blame on him, Leo.
“…There is still some time before dinner. So I’m going to go extra hard so we can beat that habit out of you.”
“Please do!”
“Me too!”
“…But you don’t have any bad habits, Tilura.”
After that, I went through Mr. Ekenhart’s grueling training until it was dinner time.
Until I could barely stand… No, I wouldn’t go that far, but it was still pretty close to it.
How many times did Mr. Ekenhard whack me with his wooden sword…
Tilura and I took some recovery herbs so that we could walk properly after we finished.
“The habit hasn’t left you completely… There is still room for improvement.”
“It’s thanks to you, Mr. Ekenhart. I am grateful.”
“Bah. I just don’t want you to be too restrained.”
While it was little by little, I was improving somewhat. So I suppose I will get a passing grade for now?
Had the bad habits been any worse, then it might have taken even more severe training to correct it. So it was a good thing that it was pointed out early.
Even though the training had been harsh.
It was quite impressive that Tilura had been able to keep up with it.
She really was motivated.
Was it her youth… Well, I was still young too…
“Ah, I see that Anneliese has finally left her room.”
“I could not stay there forever.”
After our training was finished, we all went to the dining hall for dinner. Ms. Anneliese and Ms. Claire were already sitting at the table.
Apparently, she finally felt like coming out of her room.
I was glad…because I didn’t want to have been the cause of a lady locking herself up in her room…
“Father. It seems that she was persuaded by Mr. Takumi.”
“Mr. Takumi? You talked to Anne?”
“Uh, yes. Before I started training…”
“He visited me in my room.”
So, Ms. Anne had wasted no time in telling Ms. Claire that I had visited her room.
Ms. Claire’s seemed to be glaring…or maybe it was just me.
“Mr. Takumi. What did you say? I did not expect Anneliese to leave her room so willingly… Or did you threaten her with Leo?”
“…I wouldn’t do such a thing. I just advised her to talk to others, instead of thinking about everything by herself.”
“I see, I see. Indeed, that is actually something that I should be doing… But it looks like you beat me to it, Mr. Takumi.”
“Mr. Takumi is too kind. He will even try to comfort people that he has rejected… That is all there is to it. Indeed, indeed…”
“What is it, Claire? You seem a little angry?”
“Wuff?”
“Kyau?”
“…It’s nothing.”
Mr. Ekenhart was quite happy that I had talked to Anneliese and made her come out of her room.
But since he was the one who had been put in charge of her re-education, perhaps I didn’t need to do anything in the first place…
In any case, Ms. Claire was not too pleased by the fact that I had paid Ms. Anne a private visit…
She had been muttering quietly to herself, and Mr. Ekenhart, Leo and Sherry looked puzzled. But Ms. Claire just shook her head and said that it was nothing.
Well, if that’s what she says, then it must be the case…
Hmm… It was hard to understand women…
“That’s right, Mr. Takumi. You said something about discussing wine with Helena?”
“Yes. There was much to discuss. Sebastian was with us as well.”
“Hmm… Would you like to explain it to me, Sebastian?”
“Certainly…”
As we ate dinner, Sebastian explained to him what we had discussed with Ms. Helena.
Mr. Ekenhart clearly understood how much Sebastian enjoyed explaining things to people.
And so everyone listened to Sebastian’s enthusiastic ramblings.
“Hmm… So the wine and Ramogi will be combined tomorrow…”
“Yes. First, Leo will inspect it, and if it is fine, then we will be able to taste it.”
“I see… As that grape juice was rather good, I look forward to drinking it as a wine.”
“Ah, that’s right. Leo?”
“Wuff?”
“Sorry, but could you sniff the wine that Ms. Helena makes tomorrow? We want to know if it is still infected or not.”
“Wuff!”
“What, Mr. Takumi. You didn’t tell Leo about it yet?”
“Hahaha… I was a little preoccupied, I suppose…”
Mr. Ekenhart and Sebastian’s conversation reminded me of it, and so I asked Leo on the spot.
Mr. Ekenhart seemed to find it amusing that I hadn’t asked her earlier, but I had been busy talking with Ms. Anne, and then Milina after that.
But Leo answered with a nod, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Still… She can tell what has been affected by that sphere… I thought it would be impossible without the right tools…”
“Yes. Leo’s nose is special.”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“Silver Fenrirs…are impressive…”
“Wuff? Wuff!”
“Eee!”
“Anne, are you still scared of good Leo? Don’t worry, she won’t attack anyone without reason.”
“Still, I cannot help it!”
