Vol 1 Chapter 7 Snow with Vii-chan

*Slash! *

*Slash! *

I'm currently practicing Swordsmanship with Paul. I was practicing basic sword movements such as stances, sword swings, and sword thrusts.

*Pant! *

"Don't stop, continue 100 more times." Paul saw that I was already panting and even increased the amount of my training.

Paul is crazy! Can't he see that I'm tired? How could this be the way to train a 3 year old child. Every day 100 sword swings and sword thrusts each.

If it were an ordinary child, they wouldn't be able to endure this amount of training at 3 years old.

Then I continued my training again.

-1 hour later-

"Huff! Huff! I can't stand it anymore, Dad." I was tired after completing all that training. My muscles have been shaking all this time.

Paul who was satisfied to see me practicing hard said,

"Okay that's enough for today, Will looks like you have a guest." Paul pointed outside the fence. Behind the house fence, Victoria was peeking out.

"Hello William!" said Victoria enthusiastically.

I tried to stand up and walk towards the fence with my legs shaking like a newborn deer.

"Are you okay?" asked Victoria worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." With a smile and legs that are still shaking.

Paul, who was watching my interaction with Victoria, grinned then approached me and whispered,

"Hey Hey Will, you're great for getting a girl at the age of 3. But you're still too young to do that." Hearing Paul's crazy whisper, I then checked to see if Victoria heard it.

Victoria just looked at me and Paul with an innocent face. Then I whispered back,

"What did you say dad! can you go away. I can play with Victoria right?"

"Yeah, it's okay, but don't do anything to Victoria-chan, okay?"

"You think I'm like you and Rudeus!" I grumbled and chased Paul away.

"Sorry it took so long, what do you want to play?" I asked with a weak smile on my face.

"William is tired, Vii knows a good place to rest." Victoria grabbed my gloved hand and ran.

'Victoria-san, please don't run too fast. My muscles hurt more if you force me to run like this.'

Victoria then took me under a big tree. The tree blocked the hot sun and the afternoon breeze blew through this place which made this place cool. From under this tree you can also see beautiful views of rice fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Hehe, this place is cool, isn't it? Vii usually takes shelter here when Vii takes a break from helping mom." Victoria then pulled me, making me and her lie down enjoying the breeze.

'Hmm, sometimes lying down relaxed like this isn't bad either.' Seeing the blue sky under the shade of trees makes my body and my mind, which have been intense lately, relax.

"Victoria, yesterday I saw you and your mother farming everywhere. Do you have a lot of rice fields?" I asked Victoria, she looked like she was going to dream world.

"Mmm, Vii doesn't have a rice field...Vii and mom only work in other people's fields to earn money...father has a lot of debt...mom has to work and Vii comes along because she wants to help mom...mom looks tired...Vii doesn't want to see mom tired...Vii loves mom...Zzzz." Sleepy Victoria mumbled in response to my question.

"....Vii is great kid."

"Mm...Zzz."

I always feel that I am lucky, both in this world and in the previous world. Has both parents and doesn't have too many financial problems. That's why every time I see children like Victoria, I always feel that they are great. Even though their condition can be said to be unlucky, they can still smile and not give up hope, which is something I can't do.

I then stroked Victoria's head, who was already asleep, even though it felt like stroking a sewer rat. "Ughh...." I tried to ignore the sensation and kept stroking her head gently and smiling.

Every time I see a child like Victoria, it makes me want to encourage them and look after them so that they don't lose hope and keep smiling happily.

The afternoon wind blew, making me sleepy too. My eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, so I couldn't stand it and fell asleep next to Victoria.

*******

Hello everyone, today winter has come. A harsh season for a tropical creature like me. But the me now is different from before. The current me has developed magic to regulate the temperature around my body. I call it Magic [Celsius], Nice name right.

But unfortunately this can only last for 2 hours. My magic capacity is still small and my magic control is still at 20% which makes all the magic I use very wasteful. khh should I not have to extract Mana into Essence of Mana, I shortened it to [Em]. Because of this I have difficulty controlling my magic, and this also produces waste I call [Miasma], which looks dangerous and until now I don't know where the waste energy left over from the extraction process goes.

But I have a feeling that I took the right path. Yes, I trust my intuition.

In contrast to my magic, my swordsmanship has reached Beginner Rank in all Swordstyles. Paul was very enthusiastic in training me. Lately Paul has been sparring with me more often because I have reached beginner rank and need a lot of practice.

*Sip *

"Fuuhh it's Cold." I put the tea that Lilia brewed and looked at the yard.

This afternoon I have finished my daily agenda, namely studying with Roxy and practicing with Paul. Right now I'm waiting for the person who always comes at this time.

"Will-kun Let's Play!"

Behind the stone fence appeared a tiny girl with red cheeks shouting inviting me to play.

"Yeah Wait!" I shouted back in response.

"Lilia, I'll go play first. Thank you for the tea," I said to Lilia who was making dinner in the kitchen.

It's been 6 months since I first met Victoria. Since then she has always invited me to play with her every day.

"Will-kun Come on quickly!"

"Yes Vii-chan!"

Hearing Victoria's impatient scream, I ran to her side.

In contrast to 6 months ago, Victoria now has a neat appearance. Her hair, which used to be messy, is now tied into a ponytail. Yes, even though the clothes still look like used goods.

"Will-kun Let's make a snowman!" Victoria grabbed my sleeve and ran to where the snow had piled up.

"Woah, slow down Vii-chan."

"Will-kun, let's compete who can make a snowman

the best." Victoria smiled defiantly and pointed at me.

"Hee, come on, I'm sure I'll win," I said while grinning arrogantly.

Playing in the snow may be foreign to me as a tropical creature, but with my Ex talent it will definitely be easy.

-20 Minutes later-

How could this be so difficult? It was very difficult to make a ball for the snowman's body and because I wanted it to be perfectly round, it took me too long.

Now I just finished making the bottom of the snowman. Meanwhile, Victoria's is almost finished. Comparing it to my snowman, it's clear her is better.

'I'll be laughed at if I'm like this, I have to do something.' My Indonesian criminal soul awakened when I saw Victoria's snow doll. I then threw the snowball I made at Victoria's snowman.

*Crash! *

"Ahh Vii Snowman!"

Hehe good, with this I can maintain my dignity as the most talented human being.

"Will-kun why did you do that!"

"It wasn't me, Rudeus was the one who threw it." This is the function of having a younger sibling. Can be used as a scapegoat.

"But there are only the two of us here!"

"...."

"B-bird, that rights the bird did it." I said with my innocent face.

Victoria, who heard that, immediately became silent and clenched her fists while shaking.

"Uuu Will-kun, you evil person! Vii will grab you and disgust you until you vomit!" Victoria shouted angrily after me. In the past 6 months, Victoria also found out that I felt disgusted when touched by living creatures.

"Wait, Vii-chan, don't be careless."

Victoria ignored my words and lunged at me. I reflexively grabbed Victoria's arms which were covered in her long-sleeved shirt.

"Ugh, let go!"

Victoria, who continued to struggle, finally stopped, then she turned around and squatted with her back to me in a crying position.

"Uhh Vii-chan, I'm sorry, don't cry, okay?"

Suddenly he turned around and threw a snowball right at my face.

Victoria who managed to trick me while sticking out her tongue cutely said,

"Got you."

"Okay, now it's even, right?"

"Not yet," she said in a low tone.

After that Victoria touched my hands and face continuously. it's all very disgusting like washing your hands and washing your face with leeches.

"P-please forgive me, Vii-chan..." I whispered helplessly and felt weak and nauseous.

"Hmph! Next time you don't do something like that again."

Today I learned that women's revenge is scary....
