　After we finished having lunch, we parted with Irvin-san and others.

　I'm still worried about Alicia's training plan. I think there's no need to experience actual combat in a hurry.

　She is still 5 years old. She is almost 6 years old I guess? Anyway, she is still too young.

　I'm the one who will slash and strike, and that is enough. It's not too late even after I made her learn self-defense technique and let her body remember.

“Let's practice sword when we return to the inn”

“Okay, I'll use the new sword!”

“Don't overdo it okay?”

“Yes”

　Alicia walked while swinging her body like dancing, with a sword on her waist.

　She looks like she's having fun.

　She is looking forward to practicing using her new sword.

　After returning to the inn, we changed clothes that feel easy to move and went to the backyard.

　I already have permission from the auntie. In the backyard, there were several adventurers training.

“Ah, h.e.l.lo”

“h.e.l.lo -“

“Oh, good day girls – tte, eee! Violent Wind princess!? “

“Haa?”

　What is that Violent Wind Princess?

“What is that?”

“Aa, aah, everyone keeps talking about yesterday's match. It's too fast, the sword was like a violent wind”

“It's very embarra.s.sing so please stop it.”

“Yu-nee, it's cool!”

“I'm embarra.s.sed, so Alicia please don't call me that, ok?”

“Eee -“

　It seems that it developed into something strange. Let's keep silent from now on so that they won't give me more embarra.s.sing nicknames.

　Anyway, let's focus on Alicia's training.

“Well then, Alicia, let's swing lightly and warm our body”

“Yes!”

　I also wanted to check the new Claymore, so I'll swing with her.

　Alicia happily pulled out her new short sword.

　I let Alicia swing for 20 times and have a break. Because she is still young, there's no reason to make Alicia swing as much as me.

　Since the sword doesn't have a blade, it should be quite painful with this amount of time.

“O-ne, T-wo, Th-ree…”

“Ei, Hya, Tou!”

　Alicia swings the sword following my voice.

　I guess she doesn't have much muscle yet, so her body is shaking a lot. No, I wonder if it's because of the weight of the sword.

　Because Alicia doesn't have much strength like me, there are times that she got pulled by the weight of the sword.

　Anyway, her footwork from the training last time has been resolved today.

　Although her upper body is still swaying, it's still acceptable and since the center gravity is firm, it seems that there's some power on the sword.

　She is showing her growth here.

“Alicia, you're doing really well …….”

“Really!?”

“Yeah, it's a little better than before.”

　Footwork, it's not something that can be fixed immediately after being pointed out. It usually takes a lot of time because you will repeat your moving habit.

　It's impossible to be done in a few days.

“Is it because of her high level?”

“It's not, it's my own ability!”

“Yes yes, well then why don't we exchange blows a little?”

“I'll do it!”

　She said so. I wrapped the sword with a cus.h.i.+on.

　Of course, I don't have the intention to counter, it's just for precaution. Also, I won't lose to Alicia.

　Getting used to the sword's weight can also be said as an important part of training …… maybe.

　I've never learned a sword before, so I can't say for sure.

　Alicia rushed towards me while holding the sword after I finished wrapping the cus.h.i.+on on my sword.

　With a serious expression, I saw the figure coming at me.

　I resisted my urge to hug her, I kept my position as it is. Even so, I only kneeled on my knees and didn't hold the sword.

“Yu-nee, is it okay?”

“It's okay, come at me anytime.”

“Yeah, then, I'll do it!”

　As soon she ended her words, Alicia came at me with tremendous momentum.

“Yaa!”

　A fairly fast attack with a cute shout, I dodged it by s.h.i.+fting half of my body.

　I dodged her attack and broke her body flow and flicked her head with my hand.

“Look, your stance is broken. Remember the sensation at the time you swing your sword.”

“Muu, I understand”

　This time she held the sword above her head and swung it down while stepping forward. [TN: It's kendo posture I guess?]

　Of course, with Alicia's height, it doesn't reach my head, so in kendo, it's a small attack aiming at the wrist.

　Avoiding her attack, Alicia then changed her attack into a thrust without breaking her stance.

“Tou!”

“Oh? You thought of it properly”

　Making a half step forward and changed her position.

　With that, I repeated the offense and defense 10 times and decided to finish today's practice.

　Because swinging a real sword with a child's a body had more burden than expected.

　Meanwhile, I continued avoiding her attack without letting her hit once. It seems that Alicia was dissatisfied.

“Mou …… next time, absolutely … I'll hit!”

“Eee, I don't want to, it hurts.”

“Yu-nee, that's why …… haa haa, it will be fine!”

“I don't want to trust that”

　Practicing for 2 minutes, Alicia was already breathing heavily.

　The official match for karate should have been 2 minutes. If I think of it carefully, I might have overdone it.

　Because Alicia's movement was good, I made a mistake in measuring the appropriate time.

　Thinking such things while wiping away the sweat on Alicia, I noticed the commotion on the surroundings.

“Oi, that movement just now …… that, it is not a movement of a little girl right?”

“And with that attack, the Violent Wind Princess didn't receive any”

“Is this the training power from the new Labyrinth…… will we also go?”

“Stop it, it seems like the labyrinth is not suitable if you are not at that level”

“Anyway, I want to bring her home”

　For the time being, I threw the towel I used to wipe my sweat to the fifth person.

　I hugged Alicia and declared.

“I won't give Alicia to anyone!”

“Yu-nee - this is a bit embarra.s.sing”

　It's fine because Alicia was already sold to me.

　I intimidated the suspicious men while going to the bath. If you have a free to use bath, you'll soak by all means, right? Thankfully it's free, isn't it?

　When I checked Alicia's body in the bath, as expected it's impossible after all. She is pretty hot.

　Let's train for one and a half hour tomorrow.

　When I get out of the bath and went to the dining hall with a towel on my neck, s.h.i.+nsan called me out.

“Ah, Kaze Hime ~, you have a guest” [TN: I'll use Kaze hime from here because jpish sounds good]

“Bufu! s.h.i.+nsan, from where did you hear that name …?”

“From a guest at this inn, it looks like a big success isn't it?”

“Please stop it because it's embarra.s.sing. So, who is the guest?”

“I told him to wait because you are taking a bath. That's why I'll guide you to the private room.”

　Adventurers frequently come to this inn, so a private room is also available.

　When she entered the private room, there was a middle-aged man who looked about 30 years old, sitting.

　When he saw me entering the room, he stood up –

“Are you Yumir?”

“Y, yes?”

“I'm glad … same as the image, you look like a fairy.”

“Umm, what do you want?”

　I feel like he blurted out some strange things.

　As soon the conversation started, s.h.i.+nsan went out of the room right away.

　Whether the man regained his sense, he hurriedly fixed his att.i.tude in a hurry.

“Ah, that's rude of me. I'm the master from the cafe ” Blossom “, I'm called Randell.”

“Oh, I'm Yumir. Nice to meet you.”

“- Alicia”

　When we exchanged greetings, we sat down. This room have water prepared, I let Alicia rehydrate.

　It's easy to be dehydrated after bathing. (EN: Really? Didn't know that one)

“The truth is, embarra.s.singly my shop is not going well …”

“My condolences”

“So, I decided to change the uniform of the waitress to make my shop image go up …… and I recruited by requesting from the guild”

“…… Why did you rely on the guild?”

　That is a place for adventurers to find work. A café is a place to do service business, and it can be said that the work is unsuitable for adventurers who are somewhat uneducated.

“No, there are many capable adventurers in this city and unexpectedly they will do it”

“Is it something like that …… but if it's Legur-san's policy, he might be able to ensure that kind of versatility.”

“And so I heard that a lovely girl like a fairy came to this city, so I thought up all of this.”

“I refuse”

　I a.s.serted in haste.

　Speaking of serving, it sounded good but in the end, it's a waitress. I didn't intend to decline this job, but it's doubtful if I can do a job I've never done before. [TN: I think you did right?]

　I can't undertake such work because there's a high possibility of it being a burden.

“Can you do it somehow! I'll make a cute uniform for Alicichan too!”

“Why are you preparing one for this child too!?”

　It's only been three days after we arrived at this city and the rumors spread too fast.

　Regarding clothes with my size, it's impossible to prepare in advance for Alicia.

“That's it, I'll sew it all night!”

“Turn that effort to the sales!”

　Blacksmiths like Cazalsan, is there a lot of merchant in this city work for a hobby? (EN: Sorry about this one  )

　Even so, cute clothes for Alicia … putting me aside, I want to see Alicia wearing it.

　But it will lead me to take the work…

“I was convinced when I saw her appearance. A frill ap.r.o.n is essential after all”

“Mumu”

“Don't you want to see Alicichan in a cute appearance?”

“Gnunu …”

“And with a lovely voice saying “Welcome”. Occasionally saying it while biting her tongue?”

　Being told that far, my fantasy starts at full throttle.

　Alicia moving around in an ap.r.o.n and greeting.

　Repeating those greetings with a small voice and bringing a tray on her hand while wandering around …… to be honest, I want to see it.

　But, but … to say that I will accept it, I'll have to change clothes like in a cosplay ……

“Of course Yumir-san and Alicichan both will be paid and it's the original uniform you know? It's self-designed, but I think it's quite cute.”

“T, that's … but we aren't going to stay here for a long time.”

“I didn't say to stay here for a long time. One day is fine, only tomorrow!”

“Is there any effect in attracting customers?”

“Surely there is! If you see the uniform, it should have an impact on recruitment”

　I guess it was good, the uniform.

　If you insisted to that extent, I feel wanting to dress Alicia even more.

“Muu, only tomorrow … is it fine?”

“Of course, because I'll announce a new menu tomorrow”

“Well, in that case …”

　Thus because I want to see Alicia in a uniform, I decided to work as a waitress.
