"Yet again, only one blow ..."
A practice game that has become a daily routine.
Liza-neesan, who had beaten me up as usual, sighed in dismay.
"Noah. How many years has it been since you've started training in swordsmanship?"
"... It's been three years."
"Why are you so weak, despite training under me during that period of time?
At this point, not having a talent is in itself a talent."
"Uhh ...! I'm putting in a lot of effort..."
"Don't make excuses!"
--Gan!
A merciless kick burst into my flank.
As I held my painful belly, Liza-neesan shouted at me at an increasingly louder voice.
"You only have a glib tongue. You're weak because you lack guts!"
"Guts, guts, Liza-neesan is always like that! No matter what I ask,
it would be "somehow do it with your guts"! Then, I won't know what to do!"
"You, as a disciple of me, a sword Saint, are you dissatisfied with my guidance!"
--Gan, gan!!
Liza-neesan kicks me again.
At this point, I couldn’t think of any other reason for kicking me except for Liza-neesan being frustrated.
"It's enough, you are right, it's impossible to teach you swordsmanship, who has no talent. It's about time to give up."
"Neesan! I ...!"
"Persistent! I, who am very busy, took the time to do this, think about appreciating that much!"
When I let go of her hand, Liza-neesan walked away.
I, who was left behind, was stunned and stood perfectly still.
It wasn't so bad before, but ...
At least, she didn't kick me before.
Is Liza-neesan finally getting frustrated with me, who didn't improve after all this time?
Even if it's like that, I hope she can refrain from using violence.
"Did you piss off Liza-neesan again?"
"Ciel-neesan"
Before I knew it, Ciel-neesan was standing behind me.
She leans against her favorite cane and says while smiling.
"What if you gave up swordsmanship and learned magic?"
"Before, didn't Ciel-neesan yourself say that I have no talent for magic?"
"Oh, yeah. I've forgotten, sorry!"
… Clearly on purpose!
Although she apologized with her mouth, her eyes were laughing.
"But, no matter what you try to do, you can't do it. In reverse, is there anything you can even do?"
"That is…………"
"Isn't there any answer? Really, there should be a limit to your incompetence, right?”
She exhaled a deep breath and Ciel-neesan said 'yare yare' and lifted her hands.
When looking at my face again, I feel like being looked down on.
"Okay? By the way, in reality, you aren't the kind of person that can be in this house. Originally, my dad just picked you up, as you didn't have anyone to take care of you. You are able to stay here till now, is because of us 5 sisters' wiiiiiiiide heart. So, make sure to keep that in mind!"
"…………understood."
"Hmm, today aren’t you acting unusually meek.
If you understand, do your best with a skill that can helps us--"
"I will leave this house."
When that much is said, I can't stay silent anymore.
It's the kind where my patience has reached its limits.
Besides, I'm already fifteen years old.
It is a good time to stand alone as an adult.
I can't always be taken care of by my sisters forever, it's just right at this time.
"Wait a minute. Are you serious about that?"
"Ah. I'll pack up my luggage by tomorrow."
"Is it a lie? Even if it's a joke, it's not something that can be laughed about!"
Ciel-neesan's face changed, probably because she realized I was serious.
It seems that it was a completely unexpected development, and I understand that it's a panicking situation.
Her tone, which was always frivolous, was terribly flat.
"Tell Liza-neesan also. If I say it directly, she will stop me."
"It's natural to stop you! And how do you plan to live after going out of this house? Do you think it's that easy to find a job?"
"I want to be an adventurer. Guilds are always looking for more people."
The moment the word "adventurer" came out, Ciel-neesan's eyes went wide open.
When she gets closer to me, she shakes her head with all her might.
"No, don't do that! When you speak of adventurers, it's all about exterminating monsters, escorts and those kinds of dangerous tasks! A clumsy person like you can't survive!"
"It's okay! I will do the work that properly fits me. I will not overdo it."
"But hey ...!"
Ciel-neesan's words are blocked.
Adventurers are an essential occupation in this world.
It is an entity that people are grateful to, that covers the parts that are out of reach of the nation's knights and the army.
Therefore, it seems that Ciel-neesan can't find a way to deny me from becoming an adventurer.
"Anyway, I'm leaving this house. It's already decided."
"Hey, ju- just calm down! Let's talk at least once with all the siblings! We'll all be together at the end of the month. Wait until then, alright?"
"I refuse. Because, if Aelia-neesan is there, it'll be difficult for me to say it."
Aelia-neesan runs one of the largest businesses in the continent.
Among all siblings, Aelia-neesan is the most skilled at negotiations and if I wait till she returns from the trip, I am most likely going to be defeated.
I'm a good speaker, but I can't beat Aelia-neesan.
"Mugugu ...! Why do you want to leave this house so much ...! No way, could it be that you are hiding a woman somewhere!?"
"Why do you think that! Whenever I go out, don't I always go out together with my sisters!"
Whenever I try to go somewhere alone, at least one of my sisters will always follow me.
Thanks to that, I don't remember going out by myself, for the past five years.
I couldn't meet a woman in this situation.
However, Ciel-neesan is still showing a face that looks unconvinced.
"But, secretly ..."
"Ah, enough! Anyway, I'll leave this house! If I stay here like this, I feel like I'm a useless guy who can't do anything!"
"Wait, wait !!!! Noah !!"
Ciel-neesan desperately tried to stop me.
I shook her hand away and packed my luggage and left the house.
A practice game that has become a daily routine.
Liza-neesan, who had beaten me up as usual, sighed in dismay.
"Noah. How many years has it been since you've started training in swordsmanship?"
