Recently I wake up or sleep alone since I entered the school, I was made to remember loneliness because I was always with Kuna and Anne before. I want to quickly explore the underground labyrinth. If I do, I can legitimately sleep together in a narrow tent to enjoy their warmth and scent. I was thinking about such things while quickly getting out of bed.

As I went outside the dormitory, Kuna who has changed her clothes to a work-out clothes provided by the school, cried out.

Kuna cutely puffs her cheeks. I instinctively want to embrace her.

Anne who was preparing her work-out clothes a little while ago also came over. We three had a customs to train ourselves from everyday, so we do some light training before breakfast.

No matter how much you absorb a magic stone, while your rank will rise and become stronger, but your physical ability will only be amplified with the benefits of the divine protection, so if you don’t train you can’t become stronger.

While saying that, I posed with a crouching start using my full power.

Kuna took a unique position, trusting her center of gravity while sinking down her body deeply.

Anne said with an amazed voice. Me and Kuna executes all our power in running that was called jogging. The outskirts of the school is paved, is easy to run on, and the distance is just 12 km so it is perfect for doing a race.

We ran at full power with Anne’s signal.

◇　◇　◇

「Haa, haa, haa it’s my win desu…… V!」

「Kuna, shall we go to the shade for a little bit?」

「Eh?」

「No, it’s nothing. Even so, Kuna looks like a mess」

「Fufufu, don’t make light of us Golden Firefox!」

「Actually, I think that it’s a great thing」

「But next time, I won’t lose」

「I’ll turn the tables on you masu yo」

While doing so, Anne who was running at her own pace arrived.

With a calm breath, Anne lowered her head towards me.

◇　◇　◇

Anne started to call me shishou from the day after the entrance ceremony. I remember our exchange on that day.

At that moment, my feeling got betrayed. Because Anne had a serious face.

I didn’t really mind teaching her. However, I wanted to hear her resolution.

On the contrary, I’m afraid. It is my special favorite to make fun of bashful girls, but it makes me want to run away when they say it is fine.

I didn’t say it, but because of that I decided to train Anne seriously.

◇　◇　◇

「【Magic Silver Refining: Second Mode・Decapitation Sword】」

「Anne, We’ll start the sword training. Nonetheless, there is not much to be taught to Anne」

「I will now teach you how to increase the accuracy of each slash. Anne told my 【Divine Spear】 was beautiful. It was beautiful because it had reached the point of having rid of all wasteful movements. I will polish Anne’s swordsmanship thoroughly one by one and bring it closer to the beauty of 【Divine Spear】 」

「That is delightful. I’m going to know the way how to use the sword. I want to raise the quality of my swordsmanship itself.」

「Yoshi, Let’s go with that. Basically, there are only 9 types of slash attack. If you probe in mastering the sword, it means that to master the nine types of slashes」

「I have the same opinion. If you can master the nine types of slashes, you’ll be unrivaled…… But I have some doubts, you should have used the spear. Can you teach me swordsmanship? Certainly not the sword techniques, but I was thinking that you would teach the general part」

「I can use a sword you know. The reason I use a spear often because in many cases it’s much more useful. As I’m able to control the distance well personally. Against a demon, you can concentrate the kinetic energy in one place on a hard part of the opponent and pierce through it」

「Even if you tell me that you can use a sword, I have some doubt your ability. I want to see your slashes to judge your competence. First is 【Touchiku】」

「Next 【Kesa】」

「After that is 【Gyaku Kesa】」

「【Migi Nagi】」

「【Hidari Nagi】」

「【Hidari Kiriage】, 【Migi Kiriage】」

「【Gyakufuu】」

「And now, 【Tsutsuki】」

「How’s that Anne. Is my ability worthy to teach you swordsmanship?」

「Such a clear sword muscle. Each of your sword muscle was beautiful. Souji, if you please. I want to make this swordsmanship as my own」

「I’m glad that you like it. Today is the first day so I will specially show you my special sword」

「What I’ll show from now is a polar slashing that mixed the connection technique of the nine kinds of slashing, 【Divine Sword】. Don’t move, even if just a step. If you do, you’ll die」

「This is what is Anne aiming for. No, this is a domain that you have to overcome」

「Nee, Souji」

「What is it Anne?」

「Embrace me. Mou, I already want to be embraced by this sword」

「Aa-Anne, you can’t desu. That’s shameful desu」

「It’s particularly good. This excitement, why can not Kuna understand it?」

「Being deep in emotion and being a pervert is different desu! Come back to your senses Anne」

「I am completely sane. Souji, you’re the best!」

「This sword idiot! Uuu, Souji-kun is a magic idiot…… In this party only I have some common sense」

「No, I think Kuna is the one who has no common sense the most」

「It is hard to catch Kuna who is pa.s.s beyond common sense to be even called abnormal」

「Do you notice that the remark in itself is not a thing a person with common sense anymore?”」

「Anyway, please get away Anne」

「Kuna, why are you so desperate? By any chance that you hate Souji being stolen?」

「That’s wrong! Because a couple and me alone are unable to stay on a three man party, I don’t like that.。 I can not bear sleeping on a tent in the underground labyrinth with such a combination. When I was a child, I caught my parents who was sleeping beside me, that gave me a trauma as I have good ears so I woke up」

「Kuna, it’s so simple. Kuna should join too. Look, I have two arms. It’s alright for two people」

「No way desu. I am seriously hate it from the bottom of heart. I’ll make Chichi-you see, I decided to marry a person who only loves me」

「I’m just kidding. Anne will get away soon. It’s time for you to head back to the dormitory」

「Unexpectedly, Souji-kun is a good-for-nothing desu」

「That’s right. He always say erotic things on a regular basis, but escapes in the end. It was disappointing」

「 Say what you want. Someday, I’ll let you know that I’m a wild beast」

「Souji-kun, did you know?」

「The fox is a predator for carnivorous beasts desu. This Kuna-chan don’t think you can suit yourself.」

But Kuna does not know. To say, the fox in the natural world is a predator and also a prey, especially a naive kit is a good feed for a hawk in particular.

For a moment, mental state became of a hawk that aimed at a child.

Then three of us went side by side towards the dining room.
