19 [15] Longing for strength.txt (2/2)

''...I'm not going to do that to me, so don't worry.''

The two of them look at Vilm with some fear, but they are relieved to see that he has no intention of doing so.

''...Okay, Cunaria, that's enough.''

Wyrm gave Kunalia a light smack on her forehead to signal the end.

He looked at Cunaria, who got up and stretched out with a 'hmmm', and began to talk about what was bothering him in the training he had just done.

'It was only a lightly flushed training, but I got the gist of the problem. Currently, due to the fact that Coonaria's growth was stunted, her attack range (reach) is extremely short. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to train with a weapon that has the potential to grow in the future, but it's better to train with a weapon that can compensate for that and still be used as trained even after it has grown.

'Oh, yes! If it's a long attack range (reach), wouldn't a bow be better after all?'

Miselio cheerfully suggests it, but Virum's reaction to hearing it is slow.

''Umm.... Coonaria is the cow man race, right? When you grow up, if you draw the bow the same way you do now... your breasts will be shredded?

Huh?

Coonaria lets out a small scream, as if she had imagined Vilm's words.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it. If you prefer other weapons, that's fine with me. You can pick a weapon that Coonaria wants to use.

Oh, well, that would be... I'd like to try my hand at an axe, sir.

Coonaria raises a small hand while being timid and tells her what she wants.

''Coonah is almost new to combat itself, so maybe a spear would be better. Ville's right, it's easy to handle, okay?

Meldina recommended the spear as if she was a little surprised at the weapon that Cunaria chose, perhaps because she was surprised at the weapon she chose.

''Yes, I think the spear is easier to use, as Mel-chan and Master say. But I'm new to holding a weapon, and I don't think I'll be able to fight well for a while with either one.

Cunaria looked down with a little self-mockery, but poof, she raised her head.

''Then I want to use an axe. I want to learn to be powerful, something I couldn't do before.''

There was a strong longing and determination in her eyes.

Even though it was due to her illness, Kounaria, who had been useless in the physical part of her life until now, longed for strength.

Hence the choice.

''I understand how Kounaria feels. From tomorrow, in addition to physical strengthening, I will also train in the axe technique (fujutsu).

'Ville, you're making light of this, but are you sure? I've never seen Ville use an axe before, but...?

Meldina's worries are no surprise.

This is because, as with all martial arts, you can't expect to grow unless you are taught by someone who can teach you the basics.

It is still better to hone your skills in your own way.

I can't go into more detail, but I can handle the basics with any weapon I want. It's because the spirits of the world have trained me in many aspects of martial arts and learning. As a result, I became good at martial arts and became good at fists because martial arts suited my personality.

Saying that, Virum's expression looks proud as he makes a clenched fist.

(Can I, myself, be as strong as Master...?)

Virum, noticing the anxious thoughts on his face, lightly flapped the back of Cunaria's head.

''Ah! Oh, Master...?

'I don't know what you're worried about, but I'll take care of you exactly as long as I promised. At least I won't let you get away with it until you've taken a shot at me, so be prepared for that, okay?

Yes, sir!

A declaration from Virum, who is his own teacher.

Those words, directed at himself, who didn't even have physical strength, let alone combat experience, echoed in the heart of Kunaria, who yearned for strength.

(I'm saying that my master will train me. I'm going to be strong!)

With determination, ”Mmmm! Cunnalia gets fired up.

Meldina and Miselio are cheering at such a counalia.

''At any rate, let's start with the weapon selection. So much for today's training, let's go buy weapons for Kounaria.
