Kaito’s Training
I’m doing my best! Clap, clap.
I’m enduring it! Clap, clap.
I want to become strong.
Ooh-ho, ooh-ho, ohohoho~♪
Alright! I ran for thirty minutes again today. I did great! Captain Cheer Squad~ praise me, praise me!
At first, you know, it was really tough. But little by little I got used to it, and now I’ve got a bit of breathing room.
I even end up singing while running.
One more lap!
I’m enduring it!
I’m doing my best!
Huh? That was backwards.
Ah well, one more time from the start!
I’m doing my best! Clap, clap.
I’m enduring it! Clap, clap.
I want to become strong.
Ooh-ho, ooh-ho, ohohoho~♪
De-mon Captain Luke
Is the cheer squad captain~ rah, rah!
Oh! Somehow this is getting fun!
“You seem to be singing quite a cheerful song, Young Master Kaito. Singing while running… it appears you still have plenty of stamina. In that case, let’s add another ten minutes.”
“Ehhh?! No way!” That’s ridiculous!
“Ah, Captain Luke, my Mother is calling for me, so that’s it for today!”
“Oh, is that so? If Milady has summoned you, then we’ll stop here for today. Starting tomorrow, we’ll add ten more minutes.”
“Ehh? What? I can’t hear you~”
“Young Master, you want to become strong quickly, don’t you? It’s only ten extra minutes. If you don’t work hard, you won’t become strong!”
… Wait, Sebas! When did you get here?!
Alright, alright, I’ll do my best.
I will become… an adventurer!
I always wanted to say that!
No, wait… wrong. I will become strong!
“That’s right. If you want to become strong, you have to work hard. After all, your father still hasn’t given you permission to go outside yet.”
That is correct, Young Master Kaito.
You must grow strong. And you have a dream, do you not? Meeting the elder of the elves, was it?
One day you will go there… to that day, that time, that place. How exciting.
“Indeed, that is correct. Well then, I shall head to Milady’s side ahead of you.”
Swish.
Ah~ Sebas is fast as ever.
“Captain Luke, thank you very much for today. I look forward to training with you again tomorrow.”
“Yes, Young Master. Good work today. I look forward to tomorrow as well.”
“Okay!”
Young Master Kaito is still only four years old.
The day after Master ordered me to train him, I wanted to see how much stamina the boy had, so I started by making him run.
He’s a small child with little strength. I figured he’d probably give up pretty quickly.
But then! Five minutes passed… then ten… and before I knew it, he ran for thirty minutes straight. That’s not just “having stamina.” Well, he was pretty exhausted, sure. But the real surprise came after that.
Still, that was impressive. It’s only been two weeks since he started running, and now he even has the spare energy to sing while doing it. Is his stamina monstrous?
No… well, he is Master’s son… no, the heir of Margrave Marsh.
Lord Downey once cut down an entire enemy unit alone on the battlefield. A monster. The lone Great Demon of War.
Young Master Kaito must take after Lord Downey.
The future will be interesting.
I must make sure to train him properly.
