Chapter 216: Hand-to-Hand

　The afternoon training session was over, and as usual, it was time to chat in the common room. All in all, I loved this time. I was a little sad to think that this time would disappear when I returned to the capital.

“How many more days do you think it will take to finish the icehouse?”

　Axel’s manner of picking up tea cakes as he said this was quite presentable. He must have been trained at home. I wonder if his mother teaches him.　Maybe she comes from an aristocratic family. She was like a mother with a lot of ‘balls’, though.

“Hmm, maybe two days at the earliest, three days at the latest.”

“Can you do it that quickly!?”

　Ijidol’s eyes are popping out of his head. He looks like he’s about to roll over.

“Yeah. Is that really that surprising?”

“Of course it’s surprising!　My uncle is a magic tool maker, and it took him almost half a month to make one Magic tool.”

“I see. But didn’t he make some amazing Magic tool?”

“Huh?　I thought it was a lamp magic tool. ……”

　He is tilting his head repeatedly, as if he is trying to remember what happened at that time. That’s not good. Come to think of it, I hadn’t seen many other people making magical tools. I never thought about the production time. Most of them are made in a few days.

“The only reason I was able to make it so quickly was because you guys and everyone else helped me. Otherwise, it would have taken me a month or so.”

“Really?　That means we’re of some use as well.”

　Axel smiled happily. Ijidol was still twisting his head. I wonder if he will ask around later. Please don’t make a fuss.

　When I left them and returned to the townhouse, I found that brother Cain and sister-in-law Meeka were preparing to return to the school.

“Welcome back, Julius.”

“I’m back. You’re going back to the academy now, aren’t you? I’m going to miss you.”

“I will miss you too, Julius-chan.”

　Saying this, sister-in-law Meeka hugged me tightly. I didn’t ask her to hug me. So don’t look at me like that, Brother Cain. And don’t smile, Brother Alex.

“Julius is quite good at drawing people close.”

“Please don’t say anything misleading.”

“I think so too.　Daniela-sama also seems to like him very much. I will tell her about this time as well.”

“What do you mean this time?”

　I have a bad feeling about this. Don’t tell me you’re  going to say that I looked pervy, sandwiched between  sister-in-law Meeka’s breasts, are you?　Please don’t.

“What I mean is that you were getting along very well with Miss Meeka, who would be your sister-in-law.”

“Why would you say something like that that would provoke Daniela-sama?”

“That’s because I want you and Daniela to get along well with each other.”

“We get along well.”

“Hmm?”

　Those are the eyes that don’t believe me. Those eyes could see right through my reservations about Daniela-sama. But you know what, brother?  I don’t think it’s possible to treat a lady and a princess the same way.

　 Older brother may not understand his younger brother’s feelings.

“That’s right, Julius. Before we leave, let’s have a show of hands!”

“eh?”

　Why does my sister-in-law Meeka want to spar with me so badly? Is she a battle junkie?　Before I could even respond, the townhouse yard was gotten ready. I was surprised at how quickly they got it done. It seemed that brother Alex wanted to see what I was capable of, too. This is not good. This is not good.

“Oh, are you really going to do this?　I’m a ten-year-old kid?”

“Age doesn’t matter when it comes to practicing swordsmanship. When I was your age, Julius-chan, I was already practicing using a serious sword.”

  She is just one step away from becoming a battle junkie. What in the world does Viscount Raniemi have his precious daughter doing?

“Viscount Raniemi is very passionate about swordsmanship, you know. He participates in the swordsmanship competitions held in the capital every year and has won prizes.”

“I see.”

　I guess my suspicions were showing on my face, because Brother Alex gave me some not-so-pleasant information. It seems that he is doing a thorough research on the family lineage of the person who will be brother Cain’s  fiancée.

“Well then, let’s go~!”

　Before I had time to reply,  sister-in-law Meeka  rushed in. Wow, that’s fast!　I couldn’t imagine how fast she was going. And her breasts were shaking so much, it was bad for me too!

　With a clang, wooden swords clashed with each other. As you can imagine, it doesn’t seem to have much power. I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat when I thought of what would have happened if it had been a gorilla lady.

“I got it, right?”

　Oh, yeah?　Was it bad that I accepted? Sister-in-law Meeka’s eyes are getting serious (for real). Where’s that kind look she had just now go!　 not good!　I shouldn’t have taken that.

　Meeka’s onslaught began. I easily parry it away. There is no power. There was no need to change the trajectory.

　Should I counter?　But hey, if the movement is this intense, I might hit something strange. In that case, I guess I have no choice but to knock down the sword?

“Not a hit, not a hit at all.”

　It seemed like she was running out of breath. This is my chance. I showed a pretense to counterattack. Perhaps she had lost her concentration, sister-in-law  Meeka was beautifully caught by my feint. I changed the trajectory of my wooden sword and struck her from a different direction.

　The wooden sword was supposed to leave her hand and fly in the air, but my wooden sword had severed sister-in-law-meeka-sama’s wooden sword. It’s different than I expected. I met the eyes of -sister-in-law, whose eyes were wide.

　The severed wooden sword spun around and fell to the ground with a dry thud. Silence filled the garden, like an early morning in the middle of winter

“Well, I’ve lost.”

“Oh, um,  sister-in-law Meeka. ……”

“Oh, my gosh, Julius-chan, that’s great!　That’s my brother-in-law!”

　 Sister-in-law Meeka, who had thrown away the hilt of the remaining wooden sword, hugged me with tremendous force.

　Tits, her tits are crushing me!　No, I’m being chocked to death by her boobs!　Help me.
