NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17: Sword Training
Yajia: "Nope. I don't think that it is a good idea to share it with someone for now."
Gintoki: "Nope. No one is going to believe me. They'll think that I'm crazy if I really do that."
Kuroneko: "Me too. I think I will keep it by myself."
Tsunade: "....."
Tsunade: "I've told my apprentice."
"....."
No one expected it that it would be Tsunade who had told the existence of "group chat" to someone first.
Haru was interested and asked, "How was her reaction? Did something happen?"
Haru also wanted to tell about the existence of "group chat" to Sora, but he didn't whether it would cause them a danger or not. He knew that there would be a quest on the "group chat" in the future and he needed to go to that quest. He was sure that Sora would ask him a question when he decided to go out for a few days.
Tsunade: "Well, she was a bit surprised, but that was it. After that, it was quite normal and she can see my chat on the "group chat".
Tsunade: "She wants to join but it seems that there is no option to invite someone on the "group chat" right now."
Yajima: "That's interesting. Maybe, I should invite Makarov next year when he has escaped from Tenrou Island."
Kuroneko: "@Haru. Do you want to tell someone about this "group chat"?"
Haruka: "Yeah, I want to invite someone if possible."
Gintoki: "Really? Who is it?"
Haruka: "My little sister."
Yajima: "...."
Tsunade: "....."
Gintoki: "...."
Kuroneko: "Sis-Con!"
Haruka: "There are only two of us in this world. I don't want her to be alone."
"...."
The four of them who read his reply nodded since Haru had lost his parents early and he had only his little sister in his world now.
Yajima: "@Haru. I will send you my recipe from my restaurant, maybe you can learn it right away."
Haru: "@Yajima, thank you very much."
Haru was very happy that he got such a nice elder in this "chat group". He told everyone that he had something to do since he needed to check the house which he would buy for his cafe. He browsed various real estate websites, but suddenly he stopped when he saw a very cheap house, but with very large land.
Haru frowned and felt doubtful, but he was a bit curious. He read the description of this house and understood why the price of this house was very cheap.
Haunted.
The reason why this house was very cheap was that it was haunted.
Haru found out that there was a robbery happening at the house and three children were killed inside the house. After he could use magic, he believed in the existence of ghosts. He was wondering whether Yajima had magic which was able to help him to purify a ghost or something.
The temptation of the house was very delicious for him. Even though it was haunted, he didn't care much since it was only 10 million yen and it wasn't that far from his apartment.
"Ghost, huh?"
Haru looked at the ceiling while thinking about what kind of ghost would appear in that house. He thought about his magic and created a ball of light on his palm while wondering whether it was possible to use a "light magic" to purify the ghost on that house.
The light on his hand brightened caused Sora, who was in the living room, to notice.
Looking at the ball of light, Haru felt a bit curious and touched it but he felt nothing since it couldn't be touched.
*Knock!* *Knock!*
"Haru, what are you doing? I can see your room is quite bright from the gap in your door."
Haru startled and clenched his hand to stop his magic.
"Nothing."
"Really? Can I enter?"
"Sura."
Sora entered his room and looked around curiously, but she found nothing. She saw him sitting on the chair and seemed to look at the computer. She remembered the maid cafe and couldn't help but feel a bit embossed.
"I, I have searched for information about a maid cafe earlier."
"What do you think?" Haru asked.
Sora looked at Haru and wondered whether this guy had a maid fetish. She was wondering whether she could tempt him with a maid uniform later.
"It's okay. The uniform is really cute," Sora said.
"That's true...."
Haru nodded and looked at Sora. He imagined Sora serving him tea or coffee with a maid uniform and thought that it was a good idea. But suddenly he slapped his cheek hard to be able to think such a thing.
*Slap!*
"Hey! Why are you slapping yourself?" Sora asked in surprise.
"No, nothing. You don't need to worry."
Haru shook his head and there was no way that he could tell her that he wanted to see her in maid uniform.
Sora felt a bit suspicious but she didn't press him. She looked at him and asked, "Can we sleep together again tonight?"
"Why?" Haru asked.
"Nothing. I just want to sleep with you," Sora said.
"Sure, why not?"
Haru nodded, and said, "I will do my work out for hours. You should study or play a game outside ."
"Can I watch you?" Sora asked.
"This isn't interesting,"
Haru didn't think that it was interesting to watch someone work out. He also thought to train his workmanship which he had gotten from Gintoki before.
"It's okay. I'm going to bring manga here."
After saying that, Sora went out to bring her manga to his room.
"......."
Haru shook his head and took the wooden sword which he had bought before. He also took his smartphone to open the "sword instruction" which Gintoki had shared. He read it for a while until Sora entered his room again.
Looking at Haru who was reading something on his smartphone, Sora was curious and asked, "What are you reading?"
"It's swordsmanship training," Haru said.
"Swordsmanship?"
Sora looked at the wooden sword in his hand and wondered whether it was for his job since she thought that Haru wanted to pretend to be a samurai or something to create his novel. Though, she didn't care much and laid on Haru's bed lazily while reading manga.
Reading Gintoki's instruction, Haru nodded and thought that Gintoki was trying to scam him. He felt that this training method was useless. He sighed and put down his smartphone. The only thing which he could learn was to swing his sword for 1000 swings every day. He didn't think that it was hard and tried to do it for a few days since he felt that it was better to do a magic practice rather than sword.
