The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me

29 – Gal!! Stamina is national strength (2)

“One… two… three….”

Even if Berman leaves, even if Berman doesn’t come, training continues. It was only my own will, not someone’s recommendation or coercion.

“Ninety… eight… ninety nine….”

Berman’s training method was simple. Set a number and exercise your bare body. There was no exercise equipment, but it was safe to say that it was actually a gym.

In that sense, Berman was a very good trainer.

A trainer who knows how to push himself to the limit. Accurately identify the limits of members and push them to the line that is not too much to maximize the efficiency of training.

Of course, there was no hell for the victim.

I forcibly moved his trembling arms and exhaled, exhaling as I straightened my posture and sat down.

“…… Can I gradually increase the number?”

I don’t know if this body is outstanding or if it’s like this in the first place, but the strength the body can withstand is increasing day by day.

I don’t know because I’ve never worked out before, but I thought this body was outstanding.

Because there’s no way everyone can become strong that easily.

In a sense, it was a blessing, and the expectations that followed were growing to a certain extent.

Because I was looking forward to how strong I would become as much as I put in the effort.

“Wow.”

She stood up, stuck out her tongue and licked her lower lip.

Then he started moving his body again.

#

Several months have passed.

Training and training are still hard. It was said that he was not talking about people who are crazy about health for no reason as if they were demeaning by the word hellchang.

Of course I don’t think so.

In my previous life, I thought such people were amazing, but now I have become even more determined.

… How the hell do you do this every day?

Being able to see my body getting healthier and getting better day by day is rewarding and proud for me, but the problem is that other people don’t.

I took a deep breath while secretly admiring and praising everyone who was exercising.

Today’s physical training ends here.

Before I had time to wipe off the sweat dripping like rain, I got up. It wasn’t like I could rest just because the training was over.

From now on, it was my turn to train my sword.

Berman’s motto was to be faithful from the basics. His explanation was that without the basics, things that were piled up would easily collapse.

I didn’t really have any complaints about that.

Taking out the wooden sword given to me, I slowly lowered the sword from top to bottom.

Very slowly, paying attention to the trajectory of the sword, he lowered the sword with concentration. If it was normal, it would have taken only one or two seconds to do it once, but mine took about 10 seconds.

However, I wrinkled my face, feeling that the trajectory was twisted more than it took a long time.

Then he raised his sword again and drew it down.

Speed does not change. He did not speed up even if his arms were trembling because he had just gone through hard training.

Even if the arm muscles scream, it doesn’t change.

I was only concerned with the trajectory of the sword rather than the speed of the blow. As the sword was slowly lowered, its trajectory was clearly visible.

Thanks to that, the sweat dripping from my forehead caught on the edge of my eyelashes, but I didn’t close my eyes until the sword was all the way down.

“Whoa….”

Take a deep breath in when raising the sword once, and then exhale deeply when the sword is lowered to the end.

Repeats dozens, hundreds, hours, days, and days of ordinary movements.

Whether it rains or winds, the seasons change, no matter who comes.

He did not let go of his sword. Even though it was a boring training session, he did not stop in the middle.

Yes, it may be boring and yawning training to others, but it was visible to me.

The trail of the sword is getting cleaner and clearer.

The sword is getting lighter and lighter.

And finally, that blow is slowly becoming mine.

Speaking honestly.

It is extremely difficult. The strength of the whole body is drained, and after the training is over, it is difficult to even lift a finger.

I felt like I was going to die, and if I lay down on the bed, I just felt like I would pass out.

Nevertheless, he grieved at this.

I couldn’t get on my goal that I lag behind others. He knew that fact better than anyone.

Because the place I want is higher than I imagined.

Even though I started late, I had no desire to fall behind. That’s why I push myself even harder and push myself to the limit.

When I want to give up, when I want to collapse, I think of one person’s face.

What I want to protect.

The person I want to stand by.

“…… Cain!!”

“Uh… Sia.”

Lost in thought for a moment, I stopped and turned my head.

Putting down her sword, which she had become accustomed to by now, she looked at her.

How much time has passed?

It must have been several hours, so these days it has become a habit to lose my mind sometimes, so I didn’t even know how time passed in the middle without my knowledge.

Illensia was looking at me dripping with sweat.

“You work hard today too.”

“… You have to work hard.”

It seemed that he was deeply dissatisfied with his mouth sticking out and the air in his cheek, so I replied with an awkward smile.

I guess it’s only natural that these days, I couldn’t even play properly because I was focusing on training.

It is also cute to see him carrying a towel and cold water in one hand even in the midst of such dissatisfaction.

“Come on.”

“Thank you.”

Illencia wipes her sweat with the towel she handed her and quenches her thirst with the water she brought.

Whoa, he exhaled, and white breath gushed out.

It was already winter.

Illencia was covering her body with warm fur. She looked at me, drenched in sweat, and she opened her mouth in a disgruntled voice.

“I’m going to catch a cold.”

“This is fine. Are you a northerner?”

It’s not like you don’t catch a cold just because you’re a northerner.

Acting like a ripped-off wife made me laugh.

Dududuk.

I smiled as I relaxed her stiff body and moved along with Ilensia.

I wrapped up the thick coat I had thrown nearby.

It was a bit cold, but I felt like I was used to it after living in this climate for over ten years.

Me and Elencia moved on without saying a word.

As she got older, Illensia usually showed a calmer side. It was natural, but she strangely reminded me of the freshness of a young girl, and there was a sense of regret.

…… It’s like she wasn’t fresh.

Realizing that she was fresh and young right after we met, I sighed and smiled.

After that, it was a nine-tailed nine-tailed fox.

The girl who longed for her affection became a nine-tailed fox who sucked her own spirit. And that nine-tailed fox is still growing and sucking away my spirit.

“What do you think?”

“Just… It’s not a big idea.”

I could never tell Illencia what I was thinking.

Besides, just looking at it now, the nine tails rustling behind her seem to be looking for an opportunity.

Don’t get caught… An alarm bell was ringing in her head.

“Huh….”

Illencia was looking at me with her delicate eyes.

She only needs to give me a chance to hit her.

That thought was proof that I was underestimating Illencia too much.

Prison.

Then Illencia, who casually wrapped my arms around me, smirked and smiled.

“I smell sweat….”

When I let out a sigh and said that I had reached the point of not panicking even though I was careless, Illensia shook her head and said.

“Not at all.”

“… It can’t be. I was sweating profusely until just now.”

“It doesn’t happen to me?”

Illencia, who clings naturally, faced a drastic change once again after her birthday party.

If until then, I was really like an opportunistic beast, Illencia after that time, how to say, she is a brave warrior who dares to attack with physical bullets.

Gulp.

I swallow dry saliva and try to look away at the fragrant scent that pierces her nose.

Perhaps it was my fault that she changed like this.

As it hit her body, she didn’t know what to do and couldn’t push it away. And Illensia knew that, so she clung to her even more.

Did I raise her child the wrong way?

They say that if you grow up, your quirks will disappear, but it’s not that your quirks are gone, your chastity is gone.

I don’t know how this is causal, but since the results are like this, it was ambiguous to blame anyone.

In the end, I couldn’t push her away, as usual, and I just walked away without her saying anything.

“Whoops.”

Beyond Illencia, who smiled in satisfaction, for some reason, I had the illusion that her nine tails were wagging and wagging from earlier.

Now that it’s at this level, even I’m enjoying it… It was to the point of misunderstanding.

Comforting your mind and body exhausted from hard training and training to Illencia? Her receiving days flew by.

Time passed again and seven years passed.
