Aaron guided us to his house. Since it was supposedly a Holy Knight’s house, I thought that it would be a grand mansion or something along those lines, but I was sorely mistaken. It was just a plain cottage made of bricks.
At Aaron’s question, Myne simply replied by shaking her head.
After we entered Aaron’s house, I realized that it was nothing more than a room. Aaron said while laughing.
[This house was built by the villagers. Originally, there was no village at all here. After seeing me slayed monsters again and again, people who had lost their home due to monster attacks, gathered together around me, and build a village. Then, it became my, the village chief, responsibility to protect the village tirelessly]
Aaron couldn’t do anything about it, and he had given up on trying to persuade them..
The boy in the picture resembled me somewhat. Perhaps, Aaron was subtituting me for his son? I may have think too far……Was he trying to atone his sins and remorse by doing so?
When I looked at Aaron’s gloomy expression, I guessed that it was very likely.
=====
Guhaa…… I got hit three times in my gut, I’m done for.
This familiar feeling, my right eye must’ve been already dyed in red. I have to cover it up…. No, I can’t afford to do that when I’m up against Aaron. One eye alone won’t be enough to keep up with his assault. It can’t be helped….
This… it feels like I’m seeing Aaron’s movement in advance. The semi-starving state seems to make me be even more perceptive than ever. Did it somehow synergize with the effect of the training?
The important thing in a fight against human is observing their footwork. I can predict their next move by looking at the movement of lower body. This is something that Aaron had taught me. If the step is deep, then it’s an actual blow. On the contrary, if the step is shallow, then it’s just a feint. My eyes were accustomed to only see the arms that are coming to attack before. But turns out that footwork is also something important to take note.
I saw that, here!
[Ooo……you got me there]
While I was amazed at Aaron’s stats, he threw another advice at me.
I’ll be thankful to have such a technique since my stats differ exponentially if compared to normal people. I also don’t want to have my informations be known during battle.
[Try it, use the appraisal skill on me]
