Chapter 174: I Don\'t Understand About The World of Swordsmanship

After I finished my breakfast, I return to my room and am now preparing to meet Torr and Asmo.

They are probably expecting some souvenirs again this time.

I have already decided on the souvenirs for Torr and Asmo. It’s a wooden sword I bought in a Kagura shop.

I feel like a student who bought joke toys when on a field trip, but I can’t help doing it when I thought about Torr and Asmo’s expression as they got it, since the joke clicked with me.

I mean, it’s those two delinquents. They will definitely look like them when they put the wooden swords on their shoulders.

But, they won’t look down on it when they hear about katana.

Because Kagura is a country where the people use katana, their wooden swords are also genuine. Using meticulously shaved and fine wood to shape it like a katana, it doesn’t have the same cheap-looking feel from the souvenirs shops in my previous life. It was actually quite expensive, it might be made for children’s sword training.

I bought it even when I don’t normally use wooden swords due to its high degree of perfection, that my chuunibyou’s side was triggered.

I took out the wooden sword from the subspace because I wanted to hold the wooden sword that I had bought in my hand.

Then I swing around the wooden sword inside my room to check on the tactile sensation of the wooden sword in my hand.

Un, it has a nice weight and there’s the pattern of the wood. And it’s also easy for me to hold it.

Still, they’re going to be angry if I only brought them wooden swords. Should I bring food ingredients as usual?

Guess soy sauce and miso are the safe choices, huh? With just those, the family’s meal option will also become wider, and even if they can’t make use of them they can just use them in their cooking to make it tastier.

This time would probably be much more peaceful than the previous time, with just bringing back the limited quantity of Dragon Muffins.

Having decided that, I checked the soy sauce and miso jars with Space magic.

If it’s just for me alone, then the amount in my subspace can last me for around six months. It won’t hurt to take out a little.

Besides, I have properly burned Kagura’s landscape in my memory. So if I’m running low on them I can just buy more using Teleport.

Now that I have prepared the souvenirs, I left my room and went down to the first floor.

Then, I saw Nord-tousan leave the dining room, perhaps he had finished his tea time.

When Nord-tousan notice me going down the stairs, his eyes widened and he looks happy.

「Oya? It’s unusual for Al to practice voluntarily」

「Eh? But I won’t?」

There’s no way I’m going to practice voluntarily unless I’m forced to do it.

「Eh? But you’re holding a wooden sword in your right hand――ah? When I look closely at it, it’s not a wooden sword?」

「This is a souvenir I bought at Kagura, a bokken. I’m taking it with me since it’s a souvenir for Torr and the others」

「Let me have a look at it」

Since Nord-tousan looks very interested, I obediently hand it to him.

「This is a fine piece of work. I would like for wooden swords from them if they also make it」

「There are no swords over there so I don’t think they will be able to make it」

A craftsman who could cut a piece of wood and raise it to such a level. If you told him about the weight and the shape of a wooden sword then he might be able to make it, but it would be difficult to hope for the same degree of perfection as the bokuto.

And it will also take time to make, so they would naturally refuse to go to the trouble of making it.

Though I can ask them to make it for me if I go there with Teleport, it looks like I will be experiencing even more intense practice when it’s done so I want you to pardon me from that.

「Can I swing it around a bit?」

「Sure」

People would get curious after observing it for some time.

I move away from Nord-tousan who looks somewhat excited.

Nord-tousan walks to the wide entrance and then he holds the bokuto in front of him.

It’s a beautiful, unwavering stance as usual. Even though it’s beautiful, Nord-tousan skill in swordsmanship is unlike Eric and Bram who came from a knight’s family.

It was a skill that had been honed from his practical experience of fighting against actual monsters and people.

That’s why you can’t find any weak spot in his stance even if you look at him. That was a stance perfected by Nord-tousan. That was also why I thought it was beautiful.

Even if I try to hit him, I can only see the scene of me getting countered in an instant.

It seems that Eleonora-neesan and Nord-tousan know where the opponent’s weak point is and where they must attack in practice, but that was impossible for me and Sylvio-niisan.

We were always warned not to attack obvious places. I don’t really understand the world of swordsmanship.

As I stared at Nord-tousan while thinking about that kind of thing, Nord-tousan slowly swung the bokuto.

A sharp sound of something cutting through air resounded at the entrance.

The sword swing was incomparable with Sylvio-niisan’s and mine.

But, it appears that Nord-tousan is having a sense of discomfort when he swung it, he tilted his head to the side and then swing it again for the second, and third time.

Then the door of the living room opened and Elna-kaasan and Sara come out, perhaps they were surprised by the sound coming from the entrance.

Still, Nord-tousan didn’t care about them and continued to swing the bokuto from every angle several times.

After watching the bokuto attentively for some time, the sound of something cutting through the air at the entrance vanish.

I thought that he stopped because he had enough but it looks like I was wrong. Nord-tousan was still doing his practice swinging.

Putting his left shoulder to the front and his right shoulder to the back then holds the bokuto in a Joudan kamae. Then he put his right foot forward and swung his sword down while moving his right shoulder to the front.

While his movement is natural, his downward swing is still swift.

However, I don’t understand why did the bokuto didn’t raise any sound even though his downward swing was so fast.

Nord-tousan also has the same kind of result using a wooden sword, I wonder what kind of technique is that?

「As expected, it’s a different kind of sword. I can’t use it since I’m already familiar with a sword」

Nord-tousan approaches me and returns the bokuto as he laughed in satisfaction, then he walked to his office.

So he was moving around like that even using his all, but it’s still not good, huh?

As for me, I have no talent in swordsmanship. But magic is easier to understand, magic is the best.

◆

After telling Elna-kaasan that I’m going out, I leave the mansion and head for Koryatt village.

I can use Teleportation and arrive at the village in an instant using it, but I think I’m going to walk leisurely to the village while enjoying the scenery because it’s been a while since I’ve been to Koryatt village.

I walk briskly on the straight path that extends from the mansion to the village.

Looking up, the blue sky is clear with pure white clouds floating slowly in the air.

It’s hot today, guess it’s because it’s summer now.

It’s as if the scorching sun is baking me.

It shouldn’t have been a hundred meters from the mansion, yet my back had already been soaked in sweat.

But, there is only the vast grassland on the left and right side of the straight path, and a pleasant wind is blowing from there.

It’s like a natural electric fan that cools down my body when it gets hot. Every time the wind blows, the surrounding grasses are swaying while also making wave-like sounds.

Feeling the wind on my skin, enjoying the refreshing feeling while listening to the sound of rustling leaves. I guess this is the true charm unique to being in the countryside, huh?

While feeling like that, I continue to walk down the straight path.

……still, it’s so hot today. It’s probably thoughtless of me to go out without wearing a hat since it’s currently in the height of summer.

「……and there’s a limit to how the cool breeze can help. Sure enough, human should spend their time in a moderate temperature」

I told myself and cast Ice magic to spray cold air around me.

There is white cold air drifting around in the middle of this sweltering heat.

「……aah, so cool」

It’s like the suffocating heat from before was nothing but a lie.

The cool air is like when you’re being inside a large freezer.

The cold air wraps around my entire body, and as I breathe the cold air, it enters my body and makes me feel cool from the inside.

Speaking of its momentary coolness, it feels more comfortable than a cooler. With this, I’m not afraid whether it’s summer or even if I’m in a desert.

Aah, it is for this kind of situation that I practiced magic. I’m glad I keep on practicing Ice magic.

I knew it, magic is something that enriches your life.

As I fully realize the magnificence of magic, the swirling cold air around me vanished.

Accompanied by the disappearance of the cold air, the surrounding temperature increases rapidly and the heat attacks me again.

This is, that, right. If cold air were just released normally then it will quickly be swept away. And I’m also walking forward instead of stopping in place. I guess it’s also natural for the cold air to disappear, what’s with this hot weather.

So I have to continue walking down the path while controlling the cold air and keep on releasing as much cold air as I can using Ice magic.

Humans tend to get sick easier with the turn of the season.

That’s because a human’s body can’t keep up with the sudden change in temperature. And the most common disease in midsummer would probably be air-conditioning sickness.

It’s terrible to get sick because of that. So I need to control the temperature of the cold air to the end, but despite doing that it’s best to keep the temperature at a comfortable level.

And so I walk to the village of Koryatt while continuing to release cold air using Ice magic and maintain a suitable and comfortable temperature.
