6-Episode 6 I Am Normal
\'I practiced,\'
You\'re kidding me! It\'s not something you can learn by practicing!
I don\'t care if you say so.
I can actually do it.
That\'s a skill that makes it possible!
\'Indeed, normally you can\'t cut two places at the same time at all. There would inevitably be a time lag between them.
Isn\'t it!
But if that\'s the case, you can\'t just go through the motions.
I don\'t know what that means!
The red hair tried to hold her head, but she must have noticed the intense pain in one arm, and frowned as hard as she could.
\'\'Huh........\'\'
What, you didn\'t bring any holy water?
There are two main ways to restore blessings.
One is natural recovery through the passage of time.
The other is to drink holy water.
Holy water can be purchased at the church.
It\'s a necessity if you\'re going out of town, but apparently the red hair broke a bottle of holy water while fighting the goblins.
He drank the holy water I gave him, so by the time the town came into view, the red hair\'s blessing had recovered a lot.
And when the blessing returns, it will take care of the wounds it received in time.
In other words, the wounds would heal on their own.
\'\'How\'s your injury?\'\'
I\'m doing much better.
Yeah. ....Hmmm, but I guess we\'d better not do that today.
What are you talking about?
\'No, I was hoping to get some revenge for the other day. But by the looks of it, we\'ll have to wait until a later date.
I was trying out against the goblins in preparation for a rematch with the red hair.
I don\'t like to lose like this, I\'m a loser, you know.
It doesn\'t feel good to end up being defeated.
\'\'Huh! ...All right! Let\'s take that gamble!
The red hair drew his sword.
\'? We can do that later, okay?
\'No problem! I\'ve already healed my injuries!
The red hair waved his sword buzzingly, as if to appeal to a full recovery.
\'I see.\'
It saved me the trouble of going to the trouble of setting a date for the game.
If I didn\'t happen to meet him in the forest in the first place, I was going to make a trip to the vigilante\'s clogging station and ask him to tell me where the red hair lived.
Unfortunately, I don\'t know where the red hair lives, even though we are in the same town.
Even if you use the Double-Blade Slayer, the winner is me! Because as a genuine swordsman, my "double-bladed slayer" can\'t be beaten by your impostor, an unemployed one!
The red hair assured him so, and he held up his sword.
I too drew my sword and confronted him.
\'Let\'s go! Double-bladed slayer.
He suddenly unleashed an attack skill.
A slash is approaching from both sides simultaneously.
Of course, this one is also countered with the same technique.
"Double-blade slash!
Ding! There is a metallic sound, and the red-haired sword flicks outward.
I didn\'t use the "double-bladed slash" for attack, but for defense.
But that\'s not the end of it.
Gun!
Wha...?
The red hair looks away.
Because my third blow had struck the red hair on the shoulder.
\'\'Hmm...? What the hell did you just do?
My \'double-bladed slash\' is not due to skill. In other words, you don\'t have to be a \'double-bladed\' slayer.
However, the third blow has not yet reached the realm of simultaneous, and it is slightly delayed from the previous two blows.
\'\'Bah, that\'s ridiculous... there\'s no way I can do that...\'\'
Hmm. Then I\'ll show you as many times as I can.
I got my revenge on the red hair and went home.
\'Oh, welcome home, Arel,\'
Mother. I need you to do one thing for me.
"? What\'s going on? From the bushes to the sticks.
I want you to show me all the skills your mother is learning.
My mom gets a puzzled look on her face at my words.
\'Why again?\'
I want to learn a skill.
He was able to replicate the skill that the Swordsman learns, the Double-Blade Slash, on his own.
If that was the case, wouldn\'t it be possible to do the same thing with other skills?
That\'s what I thought.
I thought Mom approached me, and she hugged me tightly.
\'\'I\'m sorry, Arel-chan I didn\'t know you were in so much pain...\'\'
Mom?
\'I\'m sorry I didn\'t notice.......I\'m not a good mother.......\'
So what are you talking about, Mother?
Even though she is very mature, she is still only ten years old... she can indulge her mother as much as she wants, you know?
Hmm, apparently he thinks I\'ve gone crazy because I can\'t stand the reality of being "unemployed".
\'\'Mom, I\'m normal.\'\'
\'Yeah, I know. Your mother will always be there for you, Arel.
It\'s no good.
The quickest thing to do would be to get them to see that thing.
I got out of mom\'s arms and went out into the yard.
"Mom, watch me.
Of course, Arrell-chan. I\'ll always watch over you, Mom.
I think you\'re the one who\'s going crazy with shock.
Let\'s get this over with.
"Double-bladed slayer.
Two slashes slashed through the void at the same time.
\'\'What do you think, mother?\'\'
An ordinary person\'s kinetic vision wouldn\'t be able to catch it, but even with her bare hands, Mom would have been able to clearly see that that was a proper \'double-edged slash\'.
\'\'........That\'s strange. It looked like Arel-chan just used the ........ No, that can\'t be true. If that\'s the case, then this is a dream........yes, it\'s a dream, right? But to dream like this........could it be that I have not been able to accept that Arelle-chan is 《unemployed》......? Oh, what a terrible mother she is...
Mom, I wasn\'t dreaming.
I\'ve been dimly aware of this for a while, but Mom might be a bit of a natural.
I tugged on Mom\'s cheek.
\'Hee-hee (ouch)?\'
It\'s not a dream. I recreated the Double-Bladed Slayer. It took me about a month to do it.
Then really....
Mom often looked dumbfounded, but eventually she ran into the house and
Dad! Dad! Arrell-chan is a genius after all!
Good grief.
It\'s still noisy as ever.
