78 – Tempered (4).

“Heh, hehehe… … .”

A rough breath came out of his mouth on its own.

It’s already been an hour since I started running in the gym with Physis. I was able to realize how rigorously the knights were training.

I thought it was hard, and I tried to let go of the strength in my legs, but I still didn’t stop. If you enter the subjugation party, you will go through a lot of harsher situations than this, and there could be situations where you had to save mana.

If you tried to rely on magic for everything, you could definitely not be able to respond to unexpected situations. Originally, dragons are said to be able to handle mana infinitely, but I, a human descended from dragon blood, could not enjoy infinite mana.

It was true that it had an overwhelming amount of mana, but it was not infinite, so there must be a situation where mana runs out.

In order to prepare for such a situation, I must save mana, and eventually the time will come when I will have to vigorously move my pitiful body.

There’s a little time left before the subjugation party is formed, so until then, you have to build up your stamina as much as possible… … to do.

Eventually, the strength in my legs gave out.

“Adilon, are you okay?”

“eww… … Yeah.”

I forced myself to say I was fine, but Phishes knew at once from my expression that I wasn’t okay.

“Let’s rest a little. you’ve run long enough As long as I can run at my pace for an hour, you… … Basic physical fitness is very good. Even well-trained soldiers can’t jump like that.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. I wonder if the dragon’s blood flowing through your body has been expressed a little more… … Have you ever had such good stamina?”

“Nope. I’ve never had a violent movement before, so I didn’t know the details.”

“With this level of basic physical strength… … With a little effort, you will be able to move without getting tired while the subjugation party is moving.”

“That’s fortunate… … .”

I slumped down in my seat at Phissis’s words of encouragement. Physics followed me and slumped down next to me, and began stroking my hair as if it were a good thing.

“It’s a lot of trouble.”

“Is it only you who do this kind of training every day?”

“hahahaha. is it?”

“Honestly, I know because I ran in the gymnasium today. How hard our drivers are… … . It was very difficult.”

“Because that’s what we have to do.”

He spoke calmly, looked at me very affectionately and stroked my hair. As I surrendered to his touch, I couldn’t help but think that he and the knights were so amazing.

“Working hard at what you have to do is great in itself. To be honest, I also sometimes do other things while doing the work given to me… … You and the knights train rigorously every day, right?”

“It has no choice but to be. Because if we don’t train hard, our necks will fly.”

“ah… … .”

“Well, this is partly a joke… … Actually, I work hard because I am treated that way. Just like you wrestle with various papers every day and practice magic until late at night to become a good successor.”

“As I just said, you do quite a bit of other things in between, right?”

“As a human, you need to rest to some extent. is not it? We also have break time. Rather, I think what you do is more amazing. I heard that His Excellency is also taking care of business.”

“It is. Perhaps, when this situation is over, he may receive successor classes in earnest.”

“is it.”

“Yeah. And maybe… … As soon as the succession classes are over, my father will hand over the duchy to me. You’ve always thought that you would like to give up the duchy and go on a cruise with your mother.”

“hahahaha. My father said so too.”

“The Count and the Countess were also on good terms, right?”

“right. If you remember that ordinary nobles eat adultery like a meal… … It might be a very rare case.”

“Yes. Come to think of it, in other territories, problems due to infidelity often erupt. The issue of illegitimate children… … .”

“Let us not do that.”

“swimming. If you do, I will kill you and I will die too.”

“… … Don’t say such scary things. And I’ll never betray you In the first place, I don’t even look at other girls besides you.”

“really?”

“Have you ever seen me look at someone else while leaving you alone? I’ve always only seen you Except when I was forced to dance with Princess Lobelia during the National Foundation Day.”

“Please don’t talk about it then.”

I said to him with a slightly displeased expression. Any situation, any time… … I didn’t want to hear another woman’s name come out of his mouth.

“Sorry. I was frivolous.”

“No, not to that extent… … Just thinking about it makes me feel a little better.”

“You must have been very upset at that time.”

“… … Yeah.”

“Do not worry about it. Because even then, I have never felt the opposite s*x attraction from another woman.”

“yes. I will believe you.”

“Anyway, do you want to run a little more, or do you want to go in?”

“I will run a little longer. But, can you stay like this for a little longer?”

I said that and threw myself into his arms. I buried my back in his chest, grabbed his sturdy arms and raised them to my belly.

The intense tranquility makes the whole body tired. It was comfortable. To the point where I want to stay like this all the time.

“any amount.”

“thanks. Oh. It reminds me of cheating… … When do you want to get married?”

“right now.”

“Don’t talk about unrealistic stories.”

“If not, what… … 6 months later? The end of the deadline you and I promised would be appropriate.”

“Me too. Good for you.”

“It’s a marriage… … .”

Perhaps he thought it was something new, he lifted his chin from my head and looked up at the sky.

“Can I do well?”

“There will be a lot missing from each other. Still, my mother said that making up for that is marriage.”

“As expected.”

“As long as we trust each other, as long as we don’t betray each other… … I am sure you will be able to overcome it.”

“yes. I hope you come soon.”

“Me too. What you did last time… … Should I see the end?”

I tilted my head back and smiled at him.

“hahahaha… … . Perhaps you will pass out?”

“You have to do that to know. In fact, today there is a run and a subjugation team, but… … There is also preparation for that time. In order to withstand your monstrous stamina, I must have some stamina… … .”

“Aren’t you often saying things that are too embarrassing?”

“How are you? After all, it’s just the two of us. Oh, how many children would you like to have?”

“… … The more the better.”

I laughed softly at those words and nodded my head.

“That agrees with me. Now, shall we start running again soon?”

“yes.”

“It’s okay.”

I got up from his arms, looked up at the sky for a second, then looked ahead again.

it was time to run

* * *

I watched Adylune run.

Wearing clothes that were somewhat tight to the body for training and running hard to build up physical strength, the appearance of Adilun had considerable beauty in itself.

It’s not that she’s beautiful just because of her appearance or the curvature of her body, but her attitude of working hard was great.

Those who work hard always shine.

Especially, even though it is not their field of specialization, those who work hard fearing that they will be a nuisance… … alleviate the suffering of others.

So I will have to try harder. So that no one, no one living on this earth, will grieve over the loss of a precious person. So that Adyllun would not be sad because of it.

I thought so as I slowly ran behind Adilun.

Adilun continued to run, even as he felt his breath rise. What kind of future does she hope for? And how will her happiness be satisfied in it?

I was curious about that.

If I stayed by her side and looked at the scene, what would I feel?

It was a story of the future that I don’t know yet, but I can only hope.

The future of me and her… … May we move in the ideal direction that each other thinks.

* * *

From the next day, Adilun and I continued training. What was surprising was the fact that Adilun’s physical strength was rising remarkably.

Is it because it is the blood of a dragon? Right now, even while running with me, I didn’t show any signs of being as tired as yesterday.

Both she and I felt bewildered by the fact.

Can it be like this?

I gave her a bit of guidance on even the fighting techniques I use. To be able to do at least minimal self-defense.

And… … Surprise overtook me beyond simply rapidly increasing my stamina.

Adilun’s growth was not normal.

As if this was the first person learning martial arts, Adilun followed my movements very well. It wasn’t just about following the action.

The distribution of power in the motion and the principle of how to hit the opponent more strongly were all followed.

“her.”

I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. It doesn’t matter to me, but other knights might feel that the world is unfair.

“why?”

“No, just… … I want the world to be so unfair.”

“Yeah?”

“no. Adilun. As much as possible, try not to show off your fighting skills to others.”

“Of course it should. Originally, these things have to be hidden to be effective.”

“yes… … .”

Well, maybe a good thing is a good thing.
