Chapter 312

Episode 312 The old man brewing (1)

Morning sparring with Lacia has become a daily routine.

Grabbing the handle of the wooden sword, she rushes like Biho.

The sword that crossed three directions in an instant had even a sword spirit.

Ray took it easy.

When I flicked the blade with my index finger, Lacia’s sword, which seemed to have no gaps, trembled greatly.

The tip of the sword lost its direction and lost its destination.

He grabs her wrist as she urgently tries to retrieve the wooden sword and turns around.

Since the center of her body was focused on the sword, Lacia hit her butt in place.

Fluff—

It’s been a week since I started sparring.

Seven defeats today.

Lacia stood up from her seat as if she was angry.

“Brother! You really don’t use mana, right?”

His eyes are full of doubt.

Ray looked at her and smiled.

“You were the one who said let’s fight without mana.”

“That’s true, but...! Brother, you are actually using mana!”

I heard that the guy who farted gets angry.

“If you used mana, wouldn’t it feel weak? With your mana rod, that would be possible.”

“Of course, but the opponent is my older brother. And I don’t know what kind of move I didn’t know.”

It was only natural for Lacia to think this way, since she was always on her stomach every morning.

Originally, it is an established theory that the gap between mana users and ordinary people cannot be overcome with physical abilities alone.

However, no matter how much mana he raised, he couldn’t do anything because the difference was widening from the speed.

If the gap is this far, there is only one answer.

that he is using mana.

Rey, who noticed her sister’s thoughts, said while stroking her wrist.

“Then let me activate mana for a moment.”

“...”

As she silently pointed the wooden sword, mana gathered in front of her eyes.

By the time I felt a gentle breeze through the wide yard.

Ray was approaching the nervous Lacia’s side before she knew it.

I had no idea that anything was moving.

He just arrived as naturally as he had been there.

He hit her on the forehead without even reacting.

“Ah!”

Lacia, defeated and beaten to the forehead, took a few steps back.

However, the surprise was greater than the pain.

‘...This activates mana.’

It was different from other Auror users.

There was no movement, not even a sense of alienation.

Even when I saw him standing next to me, I thought nothing of it for a moment.

If this was a real battle, he would already be dead.

Lacia put down her wooden sword.

“Whew... Another defeat on my part. After all, I was stupid.”

It was definitely stupid.

It was so foolish to apply for sparring with a monster that there was no way to deal with.

“When you wield a sword, it’s better to use your strength moderately rather than blindly pouring your strength into it. You need to take a long-term view of the situation instead of continuing the battle with a single breath of swordsmanship.”

Even as Ray mercilessly threw himself on the ground, he clearly corrected the wrong part.

Nod your head and answer.

“I will always keep it in my heart.”

“okay.”

The two wrapped up their sparring by taking care of their clothes.

After the sparring, Lacia said with a relaxed face.

“As expected, my brother is strong. It’s to the point where my mother’s words about how she beat her father since she was a child are no longer a joke.”

It was a childhood when he insisted on fairness to his father and pulled out his sword skills.

Ale eventually surrendered after seeing a sword that was bigger than a single tree.

she spoke in a subtle tone.

“As expected, a special person is bound to be known somehow.”

There was even a mischievous smile on his lips.

At that, Ray also grinned.

Some people still visit the old man and beg him, but his will is firm.

“Even if you try to make something you can’t make, in the end there is no change in what you can’t make.”

He muttered incomprehensible words and closed his eyes.

It’s like saying, “If you’re going to kill me, kill me.”

No matter how much you want alcohol, it’s not enough to get it by killing an old man.

The majority lick their lips and withdraw.

However, a few people even beat the old man down in a fit of anger.

It’s been ten years since I owed sentimental stocks.

This has been a continuation of this life for the past ten years.

New wounds form before the old ones heal.

The old man brushed off his wretched body and stood up.

Even though I only moved for a short time, my body staggered greatly.

Due to an empty stomach, a growling sound vibrated in the stomach.

Although the throat is vineyard, the only thing I have learned in my life so far is brewing, and the only thing I can do with my old body is brewing alcohol.

Besides, even if it meant dying right away, he had no desire to give up brewing.

He had made up his mind to dedicate his life to alcohol from an early age.

I was crouching down in a corner of an alleyway trying to control my hunger as much as possible when a young man wearing a robe approached me from one side of the street.

In his hand, he sees an intact piece of bread.

“Eat this, old man.”

The old man raised his head slightly.

Looking at the faded sleeves and rust-colored, dirty look, it looks like a child hungry like himself.

To use food that would not be enough for oneself to feed others.

At that kind heart, the old man forced a bright smile.

“Heh heh heh. It’s okay. I’m just taking a break You young man will eat the bread.”

In fact, I want to shove the bread into my mouth right now.

However, he did not want to use the young man’s kindness to satisfy his hunger.

Rob’s young man muttered in trouble.

“Umm... I bought this for my old man...”

Even at first glance, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything that can be called money.

The robe was so old that I wondered if it had been abandoned somewhere, so it was natural to think that way.

Could it be that he bought bread with money he didn’t have?

What kind of heart is this?

The old man struggled to get himself up.

My legs are trembling, but I squeeze out the power that I don’t have and give it a firm strength.

“I am really fine. I’ve rested enough to rest, so I’ll have to go soon.”

The moment I was about to turn around.

The old man loses his strength and collapses.

Rob’s young man hurriedly flew a new model.

In an instant, they took the distance and accepted the old man.

Thanks to that, the newly bought bread ate a lot of dust.

For an instant, the irresistible sweet scent tickled the old man’s nose.

I haven’t eaten anything decent for almost a month.

It was hard to stay sane when the pieces of bread shimmered in front of me.

Suffering from severe hunger, he unknowingly snatches the bread and chews it vigorously.

The food I hadn’t felt before in my mouth gave me a taste of pleasure.

The moment I took another bite.

The old man suddenly came to his senses.

The startled old man quickly escaped from his arms.

The old man’s expression changed every moment due to shame and contempt for himself who took advantage of the young man’s goodwill.

“This is...”

The moment he tried to make an excuse.

The young man smiles kindly,

“It’s okay.”

The young man who had been deprived of bread seemed to be pretending to be indifferent.

He reassures the old man again.

“It’s really fine.”

For some reason, the tip of my nose frowned at the sight.

The old man finally burst into tears.

“Kuheuheuk... I’m sorry... I’m sorry...”

He said he was sorry over and over again, but his mouth was still chewing and swallowing the bread.

The young man simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see him.
