Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 153: About How Cats Are Very Whimsical Creatures (2)

So, after letting him drink the potion, he was completely healed.

Hey, hey, hes completely healed.

Isnt this an advanced potion?

Girl, are you sure it was okay to use this? Wasnt it meant as a backup for emergencies?

No, no, its fine, really.

Is that so Well, then its fine. But uhh, what a waste

He mumbled something and walked away.

Hmm, what should I do next?

Kuro, are you going to continue?

Nuh-uh, Im done today.

I see Well, shall we go watch Arisa then?

Yes.

Lets go and find Arisa.

First, over there Ah, there she is. Wow, theyre really going at it.

Arisa was skillfully using the gauntlet on her left arm to block and deflect her opponents attacks. Shes not just using it as a shield; shes also using it to strike back. Looking at it this way, her fighting style was quite rough and intense.

Oh? Come to think of it, the sword shes using isnt Feather but the other one shes been using for a while. Why is that? Huh? Looking closely, her opponent was Rad.

I see, Arisa mentioned him before, but he does seem quite strong. From what I can tell, he relied more on skill than brute strength. Occasionally, he used his elbows or feet when in close combat, and he even threw in headbutts.

Hmm, I cant help but feel that his fighting style is somewhat similar to Arisas.

Even though Im focused on watching, there are times when I lose track of Arisas movements

Hmm, judging by the reactions of the surrounding adventurers, it seems that some can see her clearly while others, like me, cant. People of a certain age seem to have a better grasp of it, and among the younger ones, only a few, maybe? I see.

Oh, it seems Arisa is starting to be pushed back.

Shes narrowly avoiding attacks and deflecting them with her sword and gauntlet, but it looks like she might be pushed to her limits Oh no!

Crash! Thud!

Huh? Oh? Ohhh? Arisa had her sword at Rads neck as he kneeled did she win?

Uh, lets see, I think Arisas sword was deflected along with her right arm, and her sword flew out of her hand then, Rad swung his sword to the left, probably planning to follow through with a diagonal cut but Arisa used the momentum from her deflected sword to step in with her left foot and, like, compactly twisted her body, delivering a short uppercut to Rads chin, or at least thats how it seemed

And then, she pointed Feather that was on her waist at Rad, who had fallen to his knees. Well, I say pointed, but she didnt actually draw it. Its wrapped in cloth for safety.

Phew So I lost.

That was really close.

I never expected such a powerful strike at such close range Ive been defeated Ugh.

You better not try to stand up yet.

Despite the intense battle just moments ago, these two were having a pretty casual conversation.

After picking up her deflected sword, Arisa offered a hand to Rad, lent him her shoulder, and then walked over to where I was.

Hmm, Rad, could it be that were from the same martial school?

Huh? I did think our fighting styles were similar Same martial school?

Yeah, my family is the Hamilton.

I see Well, in that case, we could say were from the same martial school, but strictly speaking, were not.

What do you mean?

My sword technique was taught to me by an acquaintance from a long time ago. That person was probably a disciple from your school. I vaguely remember the name of the school being Ham-something.

Who was that person?

Hes called Gabras. He claimed to be the fourth son of a minor noble.

Hmm, I dont quite remember them

Is that so?

Yeah. Well, besides my family, there are others who can use our sword techniques, so its possible they learned it from someone else. I cant say for sure.

I see My knees are acting up again. He never taught me that technique you used.

Well, its sort of like a little secret technique. Plus, its not that big of a deal, and if you really wanted to, you could imitate it, so its not that impressive.

Can you teach it to me then?

Nah, no way! Practice it yourself!

Well, thats a shame. Oh well, Ill have to try various things.

You do that.

Well, there are quite a few things I could comment on, but, yeah, lets not go there. I dont want to stir up any unnecessary trouble.This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Oh, Ren, is Kuro done yet?

Yes, were already finished.

Is Kuro going to do more?

Not today.

I see, then lets head back.

And so, thats how it went. During the day, Kuro had scout training, and after returning to town, Arisa and her engaged in mock combat in the arena, making it a fulfilling day for the two of them.

Kuros scout skills and reporting abilities had also improved quite a bit over the nearly one week of training. This makes it a good time to consider moving on to the next town, perhaps?

As for me and Lily, well, we havent really improved in anything specific.

However, because Arisa and Kuro have been busy with their mock battles, Lily and I have taken on the responsibility of preparing dinner. It would have been nice if this helped improve Lilys cooking skill, but she already had Cooking at Level 4! In all honesty, shes already at a professional level! Me? Ive already maxed it out.

What if it becomes a strange tradition that mages in this clan have to be good at cooking? That could be a problem

Though I say that, Ive actually been conducting various experiments on my own. No, its not part of my daily routine; its more of a serious endeavor.

Thanks to all the Goblin nests weve been clearing out, weve gathered a large number of Goblin corpses and magic stones, so Ive been thinking about ways to put them to good use in various ways.

Oh, Ill provide more details on that later.

Right, even though Kuro used to stick to me like glue, it seems like shes suddenly become more independent and now sleeps alone in her room. In fact, even during our normal daytime activities, she doesnt cling to me as much anymore.

She used to be like a pet cat that becomes overly clingy once its owner returns home.

Well, its a bit lonely, but if I look at it from the perspective of Kuros growth, its probably a good thing, I guess.

And having some alone time is quite appreciated! Unrestricted free time! Wonderful!

Huh? What am I going to do with my free time? Hahaha, dont ask, its embarrassing.
