Yeah, that’s where Jii-chan and I talked before we entered the party.

I looked up and then Jii-chan, Katsuko-nee, and Yoshiko-san are looking at us.

The three are talking friendly as they watch us.

Miko power has no effect on that distance.

We will be talking with Yoshiko-oneesama

Huh, Misuzu?

It’s okay, I’ll be joining too, Onii-sama

The two get up the stairs leading to the second-floor terrace.

Ah, me too

Torii-san tries to come with Misuzu, but.

Mariko-san, how about you participate in the exercise with everyone?

Misuzu turns back halfway from the stairway and said.

but

Torii-san looks confused.

Sure, I’ll teach her. Mariko should learn self-defense too

Edie calls Torii-san.

Haiji’s here too

Torii-san looked at Haiji.

Meanwhile, Misuzu and Ruriko are gone from the stairs.

It’s too late for her to follow them.

Although, Haiji will take the professional course. Mariko will be doing the same beginner course as Mao and Agnes Yes, desuno! Let’s do it together

Agnes pulls Torii-san’s hand.

Eh, ah, yes?

Torii-san’s my pace reputation is no match against Agnes.

Mao-chan, Koyomi-chan, this is Mariko-chan

She introduces to the two.

Luna was at the party and so she knows about Torii-san.

Eh, Agnes-chan, she’s.

Mao-chan stares at Torii-san.

She’s taught to be cautious with people who aren’t family

Hmm, well, it’s a bit complicated Complicated? In one way or another, it’s complicated

What Agnes wants to say is that it’s unknown yet whether she’ll enter the family or not.

But, the word complicated is what stuck in Mao-chan’s mind

Complicated? Yes, complicated Complicated. Okay

She looked up at Torii-san.

Oh, so it’s complicated!

Mao-chan speaks loudly.

Yes, that, it’s complicated. Hehe. She’s complicated eeh? Why am I complicated?

Torii-san’s confused.

It’s her first time to receive that kind of appraisal.

Yes. She’s complicated! Agnes certifies that

What’s with that?

But, complicated means complicated. She’s just as complicated as Koyomi-chan, who has high possibility

Agnes’ way of speaking is much more complicated.

Got it! Onee-chan is complicated! Just like Koyomi-chan O-Okay, I get it

Torii-san is feeling down as the younger girls call her complicated.

Putting that aside, Haiji-chan is our new Onee-chan! She’s become Papa’s family!

Luna knows that I had sex with Haiji last night, but.

Mao-chan is cheering together with Koyomi-chan!

Yay! Yay!

Mao-chan is making a lot of noise, but.

hello. I’m Adelheid Katori. Call me Haiji

Haiji gives her greeting.

Eh, really? Are you really-really Mao’s Onee-chan? You’re my Onee-chan too? Hey, hey, hey?

Mao-chan’s excited.

Uhm

Haiji looks at me.

Right.

Agnes, who’s 12, calls me, who’s 16, Papa only as a title but.

She thinks that Mao-chan might actually be my child as she’s still in kindergarten.

She’s wondering how to deal with her.

By that, it means does she deal with her as an elder sister or as a mother?

Mao-chan is the daughter of Nagisa, another member of our family. Therefore, she’s my daughter

I made a quick explanation.

That’s right! That’s why Papa is Mao’s Papa!

Mao-chan clings to my arms.

In other words, he’s also Agnes’ Papa! And Koyomi-chan’s Papa

I don’t get how Agnes’ reasoning makes that kind of leaps.

But, Haiji’s smart, and so she can guess the relationship.

The fact that one of my women already has a child.

Let’s get along, okay?

She deals with Mao-chan with the middle of Mother, and Elder sister, something like a female cousin.

Yes, let’s get along! I’m Mao-chan! Ehehe

Mao-chan smiles.

Koyomi. Pleased to meet you

Koyomi-chan’s docile and polite as usual

Yes, Haiji-oneechan’s cute! As expected of Papa.

hey, Mao-chan.

That’s right, that’s right! And that’s why Mariko-chan should become like Haiji-chan too!

eeh.

You can’t stay in that complicated state. It’s complicated after all. Ehehe

Yeah, you can’t win against Agnes and Mao-chan’s duo.

Hey, hey, Koyomi-chan, say something too Err, well, I’ll do my best to grow up as soon as possible

Koyomi-chan feels sorry that she hasn’t done it with me yet.

Girls, come, we’re going to start stretching

Edie calls out everyone.

Okay, Edie-chan Now, let’s go! Let’s do this

Michi and Edie’s method of teaching starts with stretching.

Making your body flexible is more important than anything.

After that, the training for young and professionals are different.

According to Edie, it’s not good to forge muscles while the body is young.

Muscles clamp your body and it’ll hinder the growth of your muscles.

Therefore, Mao-chan, Agnes, and Luna are practicing on accurately moving out as they come up with their thought, their kinetic vision, quick-wits and agility, and momentary thinking.

Also, they train to be cautious of their surroundings while keeping their concentration.

That kind of training is helpful to them.

Also.

Okay, everyone warmed up? Then we’ll start our training course. Michi, take care of them Got it

The group is split into two.

Edie trains Haiji and Yomi with classic martial arts.

Yomi should actually be in the beginner course too, but.

We want Haiji and Yomi to get along.

Edie will teach Haiji, and Haiji will convey it to Yomi, the one receiving lessons will have to teach someone else too. It’s better.

As for the young girls + Torii-san and me, we’re receiving Michi’s guidance.

Then, everyone, hold your hammers

Hammer. It’s the hammer Michi used, she calls it victory hammer.

It’s a weapon that has a rubber ball tied in chains, you swing it around and hit the enemy with it.

Everyone’s training with that.

Let’s go! Papa! Watch me!

Mao-chan swings it around.

Mao-chan’s hammer is the only one light compared to ours.

Although, Agnes and my hammer aren’t like the one Michi’s using.

Err, uhm

Michi hands over a hammer to the confused Torii-san.

The children are using soft rubber and so there’s no danger even if it hits. This is training for your focus and hitting a target accurately. Furthermore, it’s fun

Michi speaks with a serious face.

After all this time, I’m now thankful that Grandfather taught me all this

Michi used only this weapon when she was starting.

If you can master this, you can grasp the distance between yourself, the enemy, and their weapon reach in one moment. Furthermore, it has a rotating counterweight overhead and so it will be hard to hit the enemy accurately. This becomes training to hit your enemy with Qi

Michi said.

Swinging the counterweight overhead lets you knead Qi in your body and accumulate it. And that’ll hit your opponent reliably. Once you improve, you can sense the opponent’s Qi from the point below the navel and you can shoot it with your Qi

In short, the victory hammer is;

It’s linked to training Kudou arts’ Qi skills.

Everyone seems to be enjoying throwing away the hammer on a tree with an X mark from packing tape, but.

Mao-chan’s the only one who’s in a shorter distance and throwing her hammer on the pet bottle on the tree.

Someday, when I begin to train other nobility, this hammer will be the first they have to master

Michi’s promised to teach Kudou style to a bodyguard of nobility, and a young lady who loves martial arts.

However.
