NOVEL NEXT In the futur 4
Pov General,
May snapped her fingers before turning to the Kotegawa family, and more fondly to Yui.
May: "We will start by assessing your fitness and stamina. Once the equipment is ready, you will jog around the field at a slow pace until you have to push yourself to run."
Rain appeared, holding a t-shirt in one hand and a tablet in the other. His expressionless face and maid-like demeanor intimidated the Kotegawa family.
Rain: "Here’s what you asked for, May-sama."
Yui’s father: "Wait, but she didn’t say anything."
Rain: "As a maid, it is natural to understand the desires of one's master or mistress. I was ordered to bring these items when she snapped her fingers."
Yui’s father: "Maids shouldn’t be able to do that."
Rain: "Only certified maids, who have reached 1000 maid power, can do that."
He began to feel afraid of the maids.
Yui put on the t-shirt that Rain had brought before starting her run.
May: "Inglis-chan, accompany her during her laps."
Inglis nodded and caught up with Yui, running at the same pace as her.
May showed Yui’s parents the contents of the tablet.
May: "This tablet tracks heart rate, average speed, current speed, distance traveled, and will give a final score that helps me assess her capabilities. It will also alert me when Yui starts to push herself too hard."
Yui’s mother: "The technology is amazing."
May: "That’s one of the perks of being rich."
Yui’s mother: "Yui is in excellent physical condition. Are you sure your daughter can keep up?"
May: "She knows her limits, and in any case, I’m confident she will cover the same distance as Yui."
The person who had been sparring with Inglis earlier joined the conversation.
Coach: "Inglis-sama is very strong. I only trained him because his master went to protect the young princess of Kyoto, who had fallen ill. I had great confidence in my ability, but after fighting Inglis, I know she will surpass me in a decade or so."
Yui’s mother: "How can she protect the princess of Kyoto? She doesn’t exist."
May: "For normal people, yes, but that's the nickname we give to the daughter of the chief of Kyoto. Our family is very close to them, and as soon as we heard she was ill, I asked Inglis’ master to go there to protect her."
Yui’s parents didn’t say much more because they realized the conversation was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
They watched the girls run around the field until Yui started to lose speed.
May: "Stop, both of you did well."
Yui: "How do you manage not to sweat after running all that distance, Inglis?"
Inglis: "I’m used to intense exercise, so a little run is nothing at all."
May looked at her daughter with a gloomy expression.
May: "Rain, can you run with her?"
Rain bowed before giving Inglis a sly look.
Rain: "I’ll give you 10 seconds, Inglis-sama."
Inglis didn’t waste time and sprinted at full speed, knowing she’d be in trouble if Rain caught her.
While running, Inglis discussed her plans for the training and presented a contract, countersigned by Misery, to prove her commitment to Yui’s training.
Once the contract was signed, she asked Diablo to renew it.
Ten minutes later, as Inglis continued running, Rimuru teleported close to May.
Rimuru: "Dia-sama, I bring news of the young princess."
Without hesitation, May took the paper from Rimuru, who returned to their true form, Dia Eucus.
Dia: "Rimuru-chan, I’m leaving Inglis-chan’s training in your hands while I go to see Kounou-chan. Anytime, my lovely maid."
She gently caressed Rimuru’s cheek before teleporting to Kyoto.
