Whenever i go to sleep, she appears in my mind.
Brigadier Malorie...
How did i even manage to make that women like me?
How the hell did i manage to make her like me so much that she'd disregard her own life for mine.
It all feels so surreal!
A women like Madam Malorie, liking me.
She was a beautiful, strong, independent women who was both a sweet and an iron lady.
She may have been a women in her late 30's but... she in reality looked nothing over 30.
Even 30 was a bit of a stretch.
Even though, she had muscles and was pretty darn strong looking.
She was very feminine. Both in terms of appearence and as a person aswell.
Tho her personality was that of a tomboy.
She'd actually curse people left and right.
She's an extremely beuatiful women.
And, i wish She's living a happy and fulfilling life away from the battlefield.
Maybe born into a rich family, with infitite riches since she was from a poor family initially.
I'm sure She's doing great somewhere.
"What are you doing? CONCENTRATE!!"
Clana stated as she swung her sward at rapis speed.
I dodget the incoming strike because it was somewhat obvious but than came the vertical strike from behind which banged me in the head with the side of her sword.
That movement of hers is inhumane.
Going against the laws of physics, at that speed she was able to readjust while i couldn't even move my body to dodge it at the lowest speed.
i sat on the ground, with my 100th defeat against her.
It's been 1 month since my training started.
Clana, Milia & Amelia have been helping me with swordsmanship while Rachael, Milia are helping me with unlocking my points.
Chloe and Frey have been helping me contorl my mana and use it to the beet of my ability.
Things have been going pretty smoothly.
"So... are you gonna leave tomorrow?"
Clana asked.
"Yaa! in the morning."
"When will you be back?"
"I Don't know... Maybe around 2-5 days."
"i see... well have fun."
"Yaa!"
as she stated that, she took her sword and left.
I walked towards the dining room and started preparing dinner for everyone with kania.
"Aah... Are you done?"
"Yup, How's things going here?"
"Mhm! Almost done prepping."
"Damn... that's quick... I'd better not lag behind."
I stated as i started doing my thing.
After about 20 minutes the food was prepared and we placed it on the table.
Everyone sat down as i served the food.
They chatted alot and after which they got up finishing their meals and left to their respective rooms.
I took a plate and had started having dinner.
The dining table was empty with nobody present, but i was used to it.
I told Kania specifically not to sit with me or serve me out of guikt and I'd feel bad if she did.
Good thing she listened and didn't do anything.
For that I'm greatful.
since i like to have my food alone.
Well, It's a habit of mine i had since i was a child in my old life.
Even before i was kicked out, i did the same thing.
"Aah... all done!"
i stated after eating everything.
The utensils were already cleaned.
With Kania taking whole responsibility while i ate.
She said she wanted to do atleast this much and i was fine with it.
I'd wash my own plates and put them were they were supposed to be.
And went to bed.
...
I woke up at 5 in the morning and was ready with my luggage.
It was a 3 day trip back home.
I was gonna give her some money with some hifts i bought her here in the capital.
As i got down, i saw everyone standing at the main hall.
I wondered if something happened and walked towards them as they were watching the tv.
"Did something happen?"
I asked cautiously.
The half asleep members suddenly flinched
"Uwah!"
"Aaah!!!"
"My godddd!!!"
And some such screams were heard.
I relaised they were sleeping...
but why on the sofa?
"Huh? Vade? Aah! Are you up already? What time is it?"
Rachale asked as she looked atound.
"Ooh... i can't believe it's already past 6... Lucky us he woke us up before he left."
They stated, in a confused state i asked them.
"Huh? Is there something wrong?"
"I mean... you are leaving today right?"
"Aah... is that why? I'm just going for a week... you didn't have to get up so early to send me off."
"Well, it's a party custom to do this. It's a bit of a superstition aswell, Because if we didn't we're worried about that person ending up dead."
That's some superstition.
"Well, than... I'll take my leave, You guys should go back to sleep! Byee!!"
I satted as i waved my hand at them.
"Have a safe trip!"
Amelia stated and everyone waved at me.
With a smile on my face, i opened the door and made my exit.
...
After 2 days, i reached my destination.
And mom was waiting for me at the entrance.
"MOMM!!"
I Shouted as i went and hugged her.
"Vade, my Sonn!!"
She received my hug warmly as she cuddled me like a new born child.
Can't believe it's only been a month since i left.
The amount of things I've learnt in this 1 month was quite immence.
I finally managed to unlock all the 200 points.
Took me exactly 20 days to do it.
I've also been drilled with magic contorl and basic swordsmanship by Chloe and Milia for the last 1 month.
"Welcome back!"
"It's really good to be back!!"
I said with a genuine smile on my face.
...
"You have gotten rather bright haven't you?"
my mother asked me as i was having a meal in the dining room.
"You too... seem to be doing quite well mom... you started looking more fresh and wonderful... You no longer have the wrinckled you had before. Are you taking your meds properly?"
"Ofcourse! if i weren't i wouldn't be looking like this."
My mother stated puffing her chest with a smug look.
Aah... brings back memories.
Yes, this is how my mother was before father passed away and she caught a viral disease that costed alot of money.
A charming, outgoing women in her 40's
you would probably mistake her for a women in her 30's but that's not her actual age.
She's a woemn in her 40's.
You could probably see the men n the area stealing glances at her when you walk around.
The same people who probably wouldn't even glance at her diseased self.
It fills me with rage just thinking of some worthless asshole seducing her.
I'll pluck his hair out and feed it to his fkin kids if anyone ever tries anything with my mother.
"You appear more young, you seem to be doing well son."
"Haha... yes."
Except for working 24/7 and being beaten the shit out of me by Milia and gtting glared for no absolute reason by chloe 24/7...
i guess everything is fine.
Also, Milia is somewhat on my side, Kania and i have grown quite close, Rachael aswell and Amelia, tho she's been rather distant she's very considerate of me.
The only people i can't get along with right now... would probably be frey and Chloe.
Frey doesn't seem to like me for some reason amd Chloe definately hates me because of that confession back than.
So she's always keeping an arm's length between us.
I wonder if our relationship will ever get better...
Wait... what am i thinking... I'm only staying there for an year max...
No matter how close i get to them, I can't possibly stay in a house that's pretty much a man's harem.
