"Hey! ha! drink! Euler!"

The hot sun shone on the ground on a huge rock on the hillside southeast of Lulite Village.

After a period of practice, the breeze blew from the river below, bringing with it a hint of coolness. I put down the wooden knife in my hand and sat on the side. On the small stone pier,

"Uh-huh~~ha~" I picked up the kettle and took a sip of water

"Sure enough, sword skills are not so easy to master. If there is a slight difference in the movements, you will not be able to use them. Alas~" I sighed while thinking about the results of these few months of training. Looking back now, no matter what I did at the beginning, I couldn't use any sword skills, and the wooden sword in my hand couldn't even see the flash of a sword skill. At that time, I even doubted whether I had really used any sword skills? Later, I heard my father say:

"Hahaha, that's of course. Sword skills are not that easy to learn. Regardless of someone teaching them, there are very few people who can master them independently. Moreover, there are still more than fifty people in our village who can use sword skills. It happened years ago"

"Fortunately, I didn't give up at that time."I sighed. At that time, I would open the hidden side of Stacia Window every night, and then recall every detail of the sword skills in my mind, and come here to practice the next day, and it was at that time that I would Alice, who saw everything about me, called me a sword madman......

Speaking of Alice, I picked up the wooden knife again and stood on the edge of the boulder to look down. From here I could see the entire Rulid Village at a glance.

Under the boulder is a river called the Lulu River. Looking upstream, you can see two branches. One is the main stream, and the other does flow to the village and surrounds it. The village's water basically relies on This river is a river. Further up the main stream is a huge windmill. On my side of the river bank is a huge apple forest. Further up the main stream is the Twin Lakes. Two huge lakes, many of which are dilapidated. of ruins.

Looking back, there is a huge ranch in the northwest corner outside the village. The rancher, Mr. Zekiel, often gives us milk and cheese.

My eyes passed by the two huge windmills erected at the south gate, and looked towards the woods to the south, where the giant tree growing at the highest point of the hillside - Gigas Cedar

"Eugeo is now forced to exercise every day by his father. I heard that it will be until he can use the dragon bone axe.....That thing is quite heavy. Even with my current body, it will probably take quite a while before I can use it."I silently expressed sympathy for Eugeo's experience in my heart.

Looking back, I looked at the entrance of the village. I remembered that when I first came, the wheat fields were still green. Now, driven by the autumn wind, the wheat fields have turned into green. became golden waves

"The golden waves are so beautiful, just like Alice’s hair...."

"Um? Did you call me?"

"Woohoo! ?"

The sound from behind startled me, and I almost threw the wooden knife in my hand into the river below.

I turned around and saw Alice walking up from the next road. Today she was wearing a blue skirt and a hooded jacket. White overskirt, long blond hair tied into a ponytail, and a white headband on her head

"Um? Sorry, did I scare you? I seemed to have heard my name just now, so I spoke out. Aren't you calling me?"Alice walked over with her little head tilted in confusion.

"No.. No, no, you heard it wrong."I swayed my hands in front of my chest and looked away from Alice's eyes as I replied.

"Really~~?"Alice didn't seem to believe it, her eyes were half-closed, she lightly covered her mouth with her fingertips and asked in a strange tone.

"really!"

"By the way, why did you come to me?"After giving a perfunctory answer, I quickly changed the subject.

"What's going on? It’s already noon! I'm here to deliver lunch."That's when I saw Alice's other hand hidden behind her back was holding a lunch box.

"Ah, is it already this time? You came here so quickly today. Did the course on sacred arts end early?"

"Alas~ It’s not early at all, it’s still the usual time."Alice sighed slightly and was speechless.

After that, we found a clean grassy area with shade under the stone and spread a picnic cloth. I sat cross-legged with my back against the tree, and Alice knelt next to me, preparing to have lunch.

"Oh!! Alice! Swain!"Eugeo's voice came from the distance.

"Um? Sister, why is Eugeo here too?"

"ha? Did you forget it? Didn’t Eugeo say that? He doesn't need to exercise this afternoon and can rest. Then I suggest that everyone take a break and go shopping somewhere in the afternoon?! I even asked you! And you agreed!! Mmmmm."Alice is angry again with her trademark bulging face.

"Oh oh oh, I remembered! I remember now! Sister, don't be angry!"Through Alice's words, I gradually remembered it, and at the same time tried my best to comfort Alice.

"Sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time?"Eugeo also came to us and said hello.

"No, I just came and prepared the tablecloths."

I picked up a sandwich and took a few bites. Then I looked at Eugeo, with a lot of sweat beads on my forehead, and joked:

"Eugeo, it seems that you have been training very hard recently~ Now you can wield the Dragon Bone Ax freely, right?~"

"Hahaha, how is that possible! Now I can just lift up and hold an axe," Eugeo said with a slight wry smile.

"Although they exercise every day, it turns out that children's bodies can't grow much even if they exercise. Excessive exercise can cause harm to the body, alas.~"

"By the way, Sven, how is your swordsmanship now?"Eugeo asked me after picking up a piece of bread.

"I?"I glanced at the wooden knife placed aside.

"Okay, compared to last month, I was able to use more sword skills during practice this month, but I can still only reach the fourth strike. It seems that it is still a bit difficult to use the whole set."

"It's not very stable whether I can use the sword skills, let alone the next few moves after using them, ugh~" I tilted my head and sighed slightly, feeling a little frustrated.

After the two of them saw it ,

"It's okay, Sven, it's already amazing that you can use sword skills at your age! Don't worry too much, you will definitely be a very powerful swordsman when you grow up!!"Eugeo said excitedly.

"Yes, don't be too anxious. My father also said that you don't have to be too anxious when practicing sword skills. The most important thing is to take it step by step."Alice is also cheering me on.

"Said...That’s right, forget it, take your time and eat first anyway. Uh-huh," he said in response to them and took a bite of the sandwich.

Afterwards, the three of them finished their lunch talking and laughing on the grass.

————

"Ah~~I feel so satisfied after eating." After eating, I leaned against the tree with satisfaction. Alice was packing the things aside. Eugeo sat cross-legged in front of me and leaned back, touching his belly with one hand and looking at He was very satisfied when he got up.

A cool breeze blew by, bringing a hint of sweetness. I opened my slightly closed eyes and looked in the direction of the wind.

"Oh, that apple orchard has matured, and you can smell the fruity aroma here~" After finishing the cleaning, Alice sat aside and looked at where I looked.

"Ah, the orchards of Miss Narela and Mr. Malos look like they will have a bumper harvest this year too. correct! Let's go get some apples. How about I make you apple cheese pie tonight?"

"Alas, can I eat the pie made by Alice? Very good!"Before I had any reaction, Eugeo said happily.

"Alas~the apple pie made by Alice...."

"Speaking of which, Swain hasn't eaten the apple pie I made yet? How about it, do you want to try it?"Alice looked full of energy, and when I looked at her, she smiled.

"Well, let me look forward to it"

"Great, let's go, you two, get your things!"Alice clapped her hands happily, stood up, patted her skirt and walked towards the orchard.

I put the wooden knife in my waist, picked up the bamboo basket and walked up. Eugeo walked behind me.

I walked up along the river. Far away under the big windmill we saw Miss Narela

"Um? Why are there so many people?"Alice said doubtfully

"That should be someone from the Village Guard." I took a quick look and recognized a few people I had seen at the training ground.

"Why are the village guards here?"Eugeo, who came up behind, said in confusion.

"Who knows, let’s go and have a look." After saying that, I walked up.

"..........It's up to you"

"No problem, leave it to us!"

"This is our job to begin with...."

After saying that, a group of people walked towards the mountain........

Then we approached the windmill and Miss Narela spotted us

"Ah, what do you three have come to my place for today?"

"Actually, we always wanted a few apples. Let’s not talk about that. What happened?" I explained forward

"Apples, no problem. I'll ask Malos to pick some for you later. In fact, I found an ant nest nearby in the past few days. It belongs to honey ants."

"Alas, I heard my father say that although this kind of ant is not very aggressive, it is relatively large. If it builds a nest nearby, the orchard will be destroyed......"Alice remembered what Cuthvert said and looked at Miss Narela worriedly.

"Yes, so I asked everyone in the guard to help. Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. You want apples, right? I’ll get them right away."Miss Narela smiled and said not to worry and asked us to wait here.

"But now this situation takes away the fruit from you.....this."Alice looked a little confused.

"Children don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Don't worry."

"In that case, how about we help in the crusade?"I saw what else Alice wanted to say, and I said it first.

"Why?"Miss Narela was stunned for a moment.

"I have also learned a little bit about this kind of monster. Although there are a lot of them, the threat is very small as long as you avoid the big scissors on its mouth. In that case, let us help!"I stepped forward and said very sincerely. Alice next to me nodded in agreement after hearing this. Eugeo next to me also had his eyes shining. I saw Miss Narela was a little shaken and said:

"We won't rush forward, we will only stay on the edge, and with everyone in the guard here, safety is no problem!"

"Then, okay, I don't care about you, just find a way to convince everyone in the guard."

"Thank you so much!"X3 thanked everyone and then caught up with everyone in the guard and explained our intentions.
