「Ah- no no, its like this.」
After breakfast, I spent my free time in the back plaza teaching San some martial arts before the class starts.
「Hmm…..like this?」
「That’s it keep going.」
「It’s hard…..」
San repeats the movements I taught her with a bitter look on her face.
The first thing I taught her was how to move her body.
Even one basic move, such as punching or kicking, is made up of a number of detailed movements of various parts of the body.
Before you can learn the principles of martial arts, you must first need to repeat them over and over again so that the optimal movements of each move become ingrained in your body.
「The basics are your lower half. Be aware of the ground.」
「Lower half…..ground…..hmmm」
While till now she has been able to rely on her natural abilities, but because she is not good memorizing, so it seems San having a lot of trouble with it.
However, I couldn’t cut corners since I needed them learn something in three months that would normally take me several years to learn.
「Take that!」
With a shout, San unleashed a beautiful spinning kick that cut through the air.
「Whoa! Now that was new!」
I say that, because even from the side, the current blow was much sharper than the previous ones.
She had a great sense of battle, and even though she seemed to be struggling, she was able to learn it quickly. If that is the case, she might just be able to formulate my technique to some extent in three months.
「Remember what you feel right now.」
「Un!」
A pleasing reply came along with a smile.
At first I wondered what would happen, but once she gets used to you she’s quite a nice girl.
It would be a lot easier if the other kids were as easy to handle, but that’s not the case.
While I was watching over San’s training and thinking about her sisters, I felt a faint presence coming from a tree in the forest behind me.
「Who’s there?」
I call out to the person hiding behind the tree.
「Eh?」
San was so absorbed in her training that she didn’t notice it, so she sounded puzzled when I spoke towards a tree.
Just to be safe, I stand between the tree and San in a protective manner.
These girls are the daughters of the Demon King.
You never know when, where, or what kind of person might attack them.
After a few seconds where only the sounds of nature could be heard, a figure slowly appeared from behind the tree.
「What the, its Fia」
「ahaha…. good morning.」
With a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, Fia the fourth daughter, appeared before us.
「What are you doing out here ? You exercise in the morning too?」
She’s not dressed in her usual girlish attire, but was wrapped in athletic wear that looked easy to move around in.
「Uhmm…..well…..actually…..」
「Actually?」
「uhmm, I actually heard San-chan and sensei talking in the hall way…」
「You wanted to join us?」
I went ahead and said that to Fia who was fumbling words.
「Etto, yes…..」
Apparently, I was right.
Fea nodded, blushing a little in the darkness.
「Eh- Fia’s going do it too-…..」
San says with her mouth open in blatant disgust.
「Hey, don’t say that about your sister.」
「It’s because Fia is way too amazing…..」
「U~u….. You’re right…… If I join in now I’ll be a nuisance to San-chan」
San’s words made Fia shy away and she turned her face down in the darkness
「Hey don’t say something like that. If your going to say stuff like that then I won’t teach you.」
「Che- It cant be helped then…..」
San agreed, though she was a bit reluctant.
I’d like to see the sisters get along with each other a little better, but since I’m new here and don’t know what kind of life they’ve been living, it’s hard for me to get too deeply involved in that kind conversation .
I guess I’ll just have to use this kind of opportunity to find out more about it little by little.
「All right, Fia come here. Let’s do this together.」
「Eh? Y-yes…..!」
When I said this, Fea hesitated for a moment and then quickly came trotting towards us.
「Well then…..first let’s see what you can do.」
I told Fia, who came to my side.
「Y-yes! I’ll do my best!」
「You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m just going to watch. It’s okay if you don’t get it right.」
「Yes! I’ll do my best!」
After saying it myself, I also started to worry.
It’s a problem to be too loose, but it’s also difficult to be too tense.
「Then let me see you do what San is doing.」
I point at San, who was still practicing her kicks next to me.
If I was wearing a normal clothes, I wouldn’t be able to do this because of all the dangers, but now that I’m dressed with clothes that are easy to move in, I think I’ll be fine.
「If San-chan can do it….y-yes….I can do it too…..no I can do it」
Fia said it with a slight beads of sweat on her forehead, while looking like a soldier prepared for his death.
「You really don’t need to be so nervous. Just relax.」
I tried to talk to her to relieve her tension, but it seems she didn’t hear my words, and her body was just tense and silent.
If I talk to her any more, it might just have the opposite effect.
For now, there is nothing I can do but to wait and see.
「He…here i go….」
Fia took a deep breath and said so, before going.
Just watching her awkward movements are enough to make me nervous.
And then――
「Eii!」
At the same time as she swung her leg up high, the other leg that was supposed to be supporting her foot on the ground――
「Kya!」
It slid nicely over the ground.
Then, she landed on her butt so hard that it seemed to shake the entire square.
