Time in a collapsing world

"Won't you follow?"

When Yaeli looked back, she no longer had the sense of peeping behind her, and she suddenly felt bored. She originally thought of luring the other person out a little bit, and then catching him directly... What a pity.

He thought that the guy behind him must be the missing father of the Emon family, but he was able to sneak into the village and follow him without anyone noticing. He was also a very capable person.

Yaeli shook her head and stopped thinking about this. Instead, she came to the gate of the shrine, only to see Carol outside the door holding her chest and leaning against a pillar with her eyes closed to relax.

As if sensing Yaeli's arrival, Carol opened his eyes and waved to him.

Are you here to get closer again?

Yaeli reluctantly approached.

"Hey, Xiaoli!"

"Sister Carol, is something wrong?"

"Well, do you want to go outside the village?"

Carol sounded expectant.

"...I just came back from outside the village in the morning, and I didn't even eat breakfast." Yazhongli waved his hands and said silently.

"Uh...okay."

Carol paused.

"Why do you want to leave the village with me?"

"I was saved by you, Xiaoli, before. When I had nothing to do, I thought I would help you clean up the monsters outside."

Carol told the truth, "I originally thought of taking you out with me so that you could take a closer look at the fighting style of our Valkyries, but...since you are not free, Xiaoli, forget it."

"That's right...then I'll thank you on behalf of the villagers first." Yaeli nodded.

"It's not a big deal. Let's go. See you in the afternoon."

Carroll was about to leave, but he thought of something and looked up at the club door, "Your father doesn't welcome me very much, so why don't we make an appointment to meet outside?"

"Um...can you come back at six in the afternoon?"

"This is enough time, even a little too much. Unless something happens, I won't take so long." Carol was full of confidence. As a Valkyrie who has been on many battlefields, she also has the capital to be proud of. .

"Don't see anyone when the time comes. I have to go out to find you." Yaeli made a joke.

"How is it possible?"

Yae Ri said goodbye to Carol, and entered the shrine. First, he chatted with Yae Rin inside the house for a while, and then came to an open space behind the house, where Yae Sakura was training with a training knife.

Yaeli stood aside, watching his sister practicing hard in this small training ground.

Sometimes he draws his sword to chop, sometimes he moves quickly, obviously he is practicing the Luo Ying Slash move.

After watching it for a while, Yae Ri couldn't help but nod. He saw that Yae Sakura had already learned the fifth form of Falling Sakura Slash. This talent was several times more powerful than all previous shrine maidens.

I think the threshold for the sixth form will be touched in a few months, right?

"call……"

During the intermission, Yae Sakura wiped the sweat from her smooth forehead and noticed that her brother was looking at her with a smile on his face.

"elder brother?"

"Well, come to sparring?"

"Okay!"

Of course Yae Sakura couldn't ask for it. It was too boring to train alone, and having an opponent was also very helpful to her practice.

Yae Ri picked up a katana at random from the knife stand nearby and walked to the opposite side of Yae Sakura.

"you first?"

"Brother, be careful!"

Yae Sakura put on an attack stance, stepped forward quickly after giving a warning, and slashed down at her brother who was still standing casually in front of him.

Yae Sakura's movements were like a slow-motion camera in Yae Ri's eyes. The latter just raised the katana in his hand at will to block his sister's attack.

Yae Sakura knew that her brother would be difficult to deal with, so she confidently and boldly used all her strength, flipped her wrist, and then brought her katana downwards, attacking her brother's lower third.

Yae Li raised his eyebrows, took a step back, and let it hit the air. Naturally, Yae Sakura chased after him.

Chopping, slashing, picking, teasing, piercing and other movements were all used, and it was not the Sakura Falling Slash move that Yaeli was familiar with at all.

"Sakura, where's your Falling Sakura Slash? Isn't it just aiming to kill me?"

"Brother, you are very familiar with Luoyingzhan's moves. I can't beat you like that!"

While Yae Sakura continued to attack, she also responded, "And brother, didn't you say it before, don't stick to formalities? It would be nice if you could hit someone with a knife."

"Too."

Yae Sakura smiled, and then the speed of her hand suddenly increased, and she directly missed the blade that her sister was attacking again. Then she stretched out her other hand and flicked it directly on the opponent's head before Yae Sakura could react.

"it hurts!"

Yae Sakura paused while covering her forehead. It had always been like this. Every time she sparred with her brother, being shot in the head symbolized the end of training time.

"Brother, why didn't you let go so soon this time?"

Yae Sakura said aggrievedly, the previous sparring time was a full twenty minutes longer than today!

"I just think you may need some other training methods."

Yaeli explained that his current body, strengthened by the energy of those monster crystals, had become extraordinary, and sparring with his sister was like an adult bullying a child.

This is not a gap that can be made up by just practicing moves, so Yae Ri feels that Yae Sakura may need to train her body before sparring with him next time.

Now... let's find a weaker opponent for Sakura first?

Yaeli thought about it, thinking of Carol who left the village to clean up the monsters, and decided on the candidate.

Giving Valkyrie to my sister as a sparring partner should be enough.

However, training alone is not enough, actual combat is also needed.

Once the wheelchair is ready, word should come from the city.

When the time comes, he will push Rin and let Sakura be responsible for dealing with the monsters that appear on the road?

Looking at Yae Sakura's slender calves and arms, Yae Ri said: "Sakura, come back to the house with me and let me show you something good~"

"Eh?"

Yae Sakura was stunned.

inside the house.

Yae Sakura, who was originally full of inexplicable expectations, watched strangely as Yae Ri took out two strange iron products from the cabinet. The two ends were biased toward the sphere, and they were connected by a pole in the middle. Yae Ri held the pole to move the iron products. Two things were taken out.

"Brother, is this...?"

"It's for arm training. I figured it out a long time ago and asked the blacksmith to make these two."

When he was not in contact with monsters, Yaeli used these two things to train himself. Lifting and lowering them, repeating them hundreds of times a day, actually gave him a lot of strength.

I don’t know why, but my arms are still thin and tender, with no muscles at all.

As for how he came up with this thing, Yaeli didn't know. He just had the idea of ​​​​exercising at that time, and the image of this thing appeared in his mind.
