Chapter 246
The day after I crafted my reserve pestle…
「Haa… . . haa… . s-somehow I… . defeated it ssu… . 」
Nagini had finally managed to beat one of my golems .
Well more accurately, she had finally gotten a draw where both of them were knocked down .
The golem quickly got up and took on a fighting pose as if appealing that the knockdown didn’t count but…
「For now…you managed to beat it I suppose . 」
The rule for this training was to use magic well enough that you could take down one of my golems and in keeping with those rules…
「Un . With this, I think we can say, she cleared, it? The most important part, was learning to activate her magic, power fast enough to, beat the golem, in close quarters . It looks like, she can activate, her power, fast enough to achieve a tie, when fighting . 」
「Indeed it seems so . Compared to when you first started, your magic use has become much better Nagini-chan . 」
Hesty and Sakura discussed her results and decided that she had cleared this training program .
「Even I feel…like I’ve become tougher to some degree ssu… . no really it’s just to some degree ssu . 」
Nagini said with tiredness tinging her voice as she stood up .
It looks like her stamina had improved since the first time she came here . She had been fighting the golem since the morning and she was only out of breath .
「It looks like, after seeing Daichi’s crafting, your magic usage improved . Your instant, defense and counter, skills have gotten, much better . 」
「Huh, so she says Nagini . 」
「Uu, it’s really thanks to all of you ssu . Also thank you golem-san for training with me ssu… . 」
Nagini said and the golem responded by raising its fist .
‘Let’s fight again sometime’ was the pose it took . It’s nice that they got along .
「Un . Then for now I take it that the training is over?」
「Yes . Nagini, you can feel, that you’ve gotten stronger, right?」
Hesty asked and Nagini looked at her hands before clenching them .
「Yes ssu . Like this… . I think I can overcome the trial ssu! I’m truly grateful for all of you looking after me like thi……s… . ?」
She raised her voice vigorously and tried to move but she lost her strength and swayed unsteadily .
「Oioi, don’t push yourself . 」
I supported her because she seemed about to fall over and her face blushed a bit with embarrassment .
「Auu… . I’m sorry ssu Master . I thought I was fine already… . . 」
「Though it was just training you went through quite a few fights . After training you need to properly rest your body to get the full benefits . 」
「Un, I recommend that as well . It’s already, starting to get dark, so wait for tomorrow morning . 」
「That should be good . If she’s here then Nagini-chan should recover more quickly . Just a night of sleep should restore her energy . 」
At our words Nagini looked at each of us in turn with moist eyes .
「T-thank you ssu . T-then I won’t hold back and I’ll rest up ssu… . . 」
「That’s fine . Tiredness breeds mistakes . Take a proper rest . 」
Then as we were speaking with Nagini…
「Daichi-dono~」
I heard Dianeia’s voice from behind me .
I looked back and saw her carrying a large bag with magic and approaching .
「I brought some of the crops and marine goods from the harvest festival the other day but…is now not a good time?」
「No there’s no problem… . in fact this might be perfect Dianeia . We can just have supper now . Could you take care of it Sakura?」
「Of course! Leave it to me!」
I’m sure after so much exercise she must be starving .
More than anything, since Nagini would go on to take this trial she would need to eat properly to demonstrate her full abilities . Those were my thoughts as we proceeded to prepare dinner .
