Chapter 29
Chapter 29
TL: Yuki
Certainly, Finia had some battle knowledge.
It was the least she could have in order to protect an important person like me.
But when it comes to fighting seriously, she didnt have a way to do so.
I have mainly been studying housekeeping in order to serve Lyell-sama. Also it because Ive thought that if I will be serving them, then I wouldnt need to be too strong in order to be useful. Even if I did have some odd skills, it would still pale in comparison to the two of them
That is true. Fighting battles on the level of me or Lyell would be like comparing normal people against strong people capable of saving the world.
It would be too absurd if they did ask her to be at least be on the same level as they are.
But if I dont want to be a burden and be Nicole-samas support, I would like to at least be able to fight alongside her!
That, are you implying that I am that weak?
N, No, thats not it, its just
Well, right now, I am indeed not in a very good state.
Even if I did learn swordsmanship seriously and have a lot of past experience backing me, I can only fight for a short amount of time before completely exhausting myself.
I guess, its not really that bad if you want to get stronger, considering what the future may hold
Thats right!
In Raum, theres no Lyell of Maria. There is Maxwell and Cortina In exchange though.
If theres really a problem about, it would be that they are both Rear Guards.
Cortina is a Beastman which makes her possess higher physical ability than most people, but that would still pale in comparison to professional vanguard classes.
As for the old elf Maxwell, It wont even be strange if an average person would be able to defeat him.
Wait, if I think about in elf years, maybe it would be bad to consider his age as old?
Then I will consult Leon-san about it! Im sorry, its because I dont really have any knowledge in regards to teaching swordsmanship, I wont be able to teach you
Eh
Ellen inflated her cheeks a little when I show her a disappointed look in my reaction.
I understand that he doesnt have talent for Swordsmanship, but he has been working hard despite the lack of talent. You do know that the experience he accumulated would still be able to help, right?
Well, I guess so
Now that I think about it, my and Lyells experience when it comes to fighting is just too abnormal, and it would certainly be useless if it was taught to Finia who is an ordinary person.
Another thing is that, most masters of their fields have grown too much when it comes to their specialty and that most of them are really bad at teaching.
I have been learning concealment from Cortina before, but I was not able to properly teach it to someone else.
Well, can I also join Finia in learning the basics?
Nicole-chan already knows how to fight, right?
Well, Ly I mean I was trained by Daddy after all
DaddyAh, Lyell-sama! Im envious. I would have also liked to be trained by the Hero
Well, it would certainly become an advantage
Although unwilling, Lyell was actually good at teaching people despite holding a gift for combat.
Well, its probably because he was basically calm and patient which is a good attitude for a teacher to have.
As for me, Im not that patient enough.
Thats why instead of patiently following the path of the sword, I abandoned it and moved into the use of steel threads which I was more proficient with.
Well then, Ill be resting now
With my right hand in this condition, it is unlikely that I would be able to swing a sword anytime soon.
I will probably have to lay low for a while.
Also, I cant really force myself to do things that I cant do. Just like what I have experienced in my previous life, I know that I wont like the results if I force myself.
If I need to rest, then I have to rest. Its one the tips in order to improve myself.
Oh, thats right. Lets see well, your right wrist is certainly in a bad state compared to your left. It will recover by just letting it rest for a while since there are no other damages or fractures
My findings were also the same
Then we could rest assured. And since there are no heavy wounds or damages in your left hand, it will definitely recover in a short amount of time. The same goes for your worn out right hand
Then lets do a bit of a fix for now
Finia applied a compress on my right wrist and then Ellen fixes it with a splint wood.
After placing the support and positioning it in place, I could feel the pain slowly fading away.
Fuuuu~
The cool feel of the compress penetrating my skin made me unconsciously sigh in relief.
Hearing me reacting like that, Finia couldnt help but giggle a bit.
Kuku Nicole-sama, when you sigh like that feeling and was feeling good, you somehow look like a spoiled cat
Fue?
It has been a long time since somebody said that my emotions are showing on my face, since it does show that often when it was in my previous life.
When I go on missions, I usually leave a cold expression, as if all my emotions are paralyzed
Hai, Nicole-sama. Please cover yourself with this blanket and take a proper rest
Ha~i
I lay myself on a pseudo bed that Finia prepared.
Then, Ellen and Finia went out since there are still things to clean-up like the dismantling the Vultures.
For Vultures, their feathers could be sold along with their meat , and it also takes time to completely strip it all off.
Then, from supper of that day, my trials started.
It takes a lot of time for me to finish meal since my right hand is currently firmly fixed and could not move.
Seeing my state, Finia and Michelle-chan came to me and started doing the Ahhhn to me. I wanted for them to stop.
Adding to that, it was extremely awkward since Ellen was also joining us to check on my condition.
Okay, now please open your mouth. Nicole-sama
Say ahhhn, Nicole-chan
Ah, wait, let me join too! Nicole-chan, over here, please say ahhh
Mugumugu!Mugu!?
I was assaulted by soup, dried vegetables and other foodstuff being forced into my mouth without a break.
Whats worse was the soup that Nicole-chan is feeding was not cooled down, it was almost turning into torture for me if not to the fact that they are doing this out of concern.
He, hey, Im already full
Eh, but you havent eaten that much yet!
Thats not it Michelle-chan. Nicole-sama has a very light appetite I think the amount she has eaten today could already be said to be too much?
Michelle and Ellen were quite shocked to the fact that Finia informed them.
Is, is that so?
Even though she is indeed a child, is that really too much for her already?
No, thats just how she is. Even when she was a baby, she doesnt drink Marias Milk that much, and even I was really worried at that time
Isnt that a little bit too dangerous!
Ellen was really shocked about what Finia told her. It is certainly a really bad situation if a baby refuses to drink her mothers milk.
Maria felt as if the world had ended that time until it was time for her to substitute with cows milk. Lyell was also included as a bonus.
Well, in that time, I cant really do anything about that. I was too concerned about how I should react at that time.
We cant but feed her that time with only cows milk, but it certainly put us at ease when she finally started to drink milk
Thats probably why her body didnt develop that much
But Nicole-chan is cute, so that doesnt matter!
From the side listening to the two, Michelle-chan inserted herself to the conversation and hugged me.
I dont dislike her honest expression of love, but its really hurting my right hand that was caught in between.
Michelle-chan, right hand, thats going to hurt, you know?
Ah, Im sorry!
After Finia pointed it out, Michelle-chan immediately released me.
After realizing her mistake and showing an apologetic face, she apologized to me for the sudden impulse.
Although it was somewhat inconvenient, I didnt really have much of a hard time because of the people supporting me.
Well, when it comes to other private matters, it was really a pain, but other than that, Michelle-chan and Finia always helped.
And then, when the pain in my right hand finally started to fade, and along with my left hand finally recovering. We have arrived at the forest of elves and the elven country Raum.
