Lida's Resolve
"You're originally a swordsman, aren't you? Swordsmanship is all about basic posture. Sword Art emphasizes the technique of receiving, but there is no technique of receiving in Sword Art."
"But the old man was taking my attacks."
"That's because I had no choice but to accept it. Your surprise attack worked so well."
I returned to McQueen-san's usual lodging with the old man, but the old man and I were still talking.
The old man is so serious when talking about swordsmanship, as if he were a different person. He listens very seriously and gives answers.
I have been looking back on yesterday's battle for a while now, but he answers properly. However, since his favorite phrase is [If you train, you can do anything], which sounds like a gutsy argument.
Sometimes he adds his own theory, so it is surprisingly interesting to listen to him.
The conversation with the old man continued for a while.
"Um, Light-san? It's almost time for dinner. Is that alright?"
After McQueen-san said that, I noticed that the outside was starting to turn red.
"Hey. Light. Whenever it's convenient for you, but are you willing to train with me?"
The old man suddenly says something like that.
"Eh? Is it alright?"
"I don't mind. I like you. I don't mind teaching you a little bit. In exchange, I'll ask you to make me a high-quality sword. And give me a discount."
"I would have looked at you differently if you hadn't said that last part....... Got it."
"Heh! I'm just saying."
After that exchange, I returned home.
When I got home and looked in the living room, I saw Maria, Rain, and Lida chatting...
Lida's behavior is strange......
Her face is bright red. Is there steam coming out of her head? That's what I think.
"I'm home. What's wrong? Lida?"
When Lida heard my voice, she freaked out and turned around, looking at my face and getting flustered. What's wrong?
When I turned to Maria and Rain, they were smiling, but they didn't tell me about the current situation.
"Then I'll go prepare dinner."
"Then I'll go serve Ginko-chan some food."
Maria and Rain quickly left the living room. I had no choice but to sit next to Lida, but Lida kept a little distance from me.
Eh? No way? Why?
I couldn't help but look at Lida in shock. Lida wouldn't make eye contact with me, but perhaps she was curious, so she glanced up at me.
At that moment, her face turned red again. I hadn't had a conversation with Lida since I came home, and it was somewhat awkward.
After that, Maria put dinner on the table, and all four of us ate together, but there was no conversation with Lida.
After dinner, we took a bath.
I took a bath first. Don't women hate it when men take the first bath? There was a time when I wondered if women don't mind me taking the first bath, but it seems that when I take a bath, my mana leaks out and the water is of a high quality containing light magic. Am I some kind of kelp or something?
After taking a bath, I just went back to my room and went to sleep. That's what I thought.
However, when I thought back to Lida's attitude today, I couldn't sleep.
I heard three people saying goodnight outside the room.
Apparently, the three of them were taking a bath together.
Also, after I had been in a daze for a while, I heard a knock on the door of my room. She slowly and quietly entered the room...
It was Lida.
"Light-kun... are you awake?"
"I'm awake. What's wrong?"
When I got up because I was called out to, Lida was standing there in a gown looking embarrassed.
"I have something to talk about... is that okay?"
She asked me that, so I nodded in response.
Then Lida sat on the edge of my bed instead of the chair.
"I'm sorry about today... um... I was acting weird...... wasn't I?"
"Well... that's right. It was different than usual, so I guess I was a little surprised too."
"Actually... um... I asked Maria-san and Rain-chan... um... they said that both of them..."
I'm a little perturbed.
"W-what is?"
Lida blushed and looked at me with a slightly annoyed expression.
"You're having s*x with the two of them, right? Don't make me say it again..."
With those words, everything made sense to me. Understandably, Lida's attitude is strange... that parent and child... what are they doing...
Time stood still for a moment.
"Yesterday, I acted like an older sister and said something like that... But Light-kun is already an adult... It's embarrassing..."
"Ah... no... um..."
"If... if you don't mind Light-kun... um... could you please take my first...?"
I looked at Lida. Lida is looking straight at me.
She's probably nervous about being rejected or being held... she's trembling slightly.
"Is it okay...? I'm happy, but... um... I'm still a child, right?"
"Not anymore. Stop teasing me. Forget about yesterday!"
After saying that, we both smiled.
"I need to punish the bad boy who teases his older sister like that."
After saying that, Lida pushed me down.
Lida, who was covering me, smiled a little bewitchingly and kissed me.
Thanks for the chapter
