「Morning」


  「「Good morning Al」」


  As I entered the dining room as usual, all the members of the family other than Eleonora-neesan is all there.

  And after a single morning greeting to them, I sit on my own seat while letting out a yawn.

  「……haa, I’m also tired since morning today」


  I said in a hoarse voice due to fatigue while sighing deeply.

  Then I saw Sylvio-niisan smiling wryly next to me when I fall on top of the table.

  「You were running with neesan again since the morning today, huh」


  「That’s right. And because of that, I woke up so early these days. I want to go back to sleep as much as I want again……」


  Yeah, ever since the previous practice, I’ve been urged by Eleonora-neesan like a horse almost every day――not, I’m doing a long training run under Eleonora-neesan’s valuable supervision and coaching.

  I guess it has been two weeks since the voluntary practice last time?

  I’ve been doing long training runs every morning. And apart from the practice with Nord-tousan, I did long training run again with Eleonora-neesan at noon in the name of voluntary practice.

  Anyway, I ran a lot. That was the most long-lasting running I’ve done in the reincarnated life in this world.

  「But thanks to that, your figure has become completely restored to the one before」


  「I think that your body has returned to the same shape as the one before you went to Kagura」


  「Really?」


  Hearing Sylvio-niisan and Elna-kaasan words, I involuntarily raised my head.

  「Yes, you can look at the mirror over there」


  Urged by Elna-kaasan, I move from my seat to look at the mirror.

  There was a seven years old boy with eyes that looks extremely drowsy in the mirror.

  There’s almost no chubby figure just like when I returned from Kagura. My jawline is sharp, and there’s no double chin. And even when I try to pinch my stomach, there was no useless fat to be pinched.

  「Ooh! I lose weight!」


  Could it be due to the fatigue from the long training run every day? My eyes look more dead than usual, but I’m very thin overall.

  「Al, what is Eleonora doing right now?」


  Just when I was touching my body while looking in the mirror, Nord-tousan asks.

  「She said that she hasn’t run enough yet, so she’s still running. I think she will probably return soon?」


  I mean, Eleonora-neesan said that the distance of my run was not enough for her. She’s probably running around Koryatt village again at this time, or she might even run all the way to the next village.

  「I wonder how far did she run to? It’s almost time for breakfast……」


  Though Elna-kaasan said something about being worried for Eleonora-neesan, she’s probably worried about her own hunger.

  Since there’s a rule that everyone has to eat breakfast together, we won’t be able to have our breakfast until Eleonora-neesan returns.

  I’m also hungry since I’ve been running since morning. I don’t know how far she runs to, but I hope she returns soon.

  「I’m back!」


  Then Eleonora-neesan returned, just when I’m telling about my recent dash course to Sylvio-niisan.

  Could it be because I’ve been trained by the long training run recently that just hearing that voice, I pointlessly straightened up my back?

  That Eleonora-neesan, she got angry each time I reduce my speed.

  「You’re finally back. Mina, please prepare the breakfast」


  「Understood!」


  After Elna-kaasan said that, Mina replies with a lively voice and she leave the dining room to prepare breakfast. And Eleonora-neesan enters the dining room, crossing paths with Mina.

  「Good morning everyone」


  「「Good morning」」


  Though I’ve met her this morning, everyone greets her so I’ll just follow along and greet her.

  It is now the first ten days of the eight-month. Still the height of summer.

  So it’s natural for you to sweat if you did a long training run in the morning, and now, Eleonora-neesan’s white skin is slightly wet with sweat.

  「Eleonora, you need to wipe your sweat properly with a towel. Your forehead is dripping with sweat, don’t you know?」


  「It’s fine. Even if I wipe and wipe them again I will still sweat anyway」


  Though Elna-kaasan chided her for it, Eleonora-neesan - who has low femininity - found it to be too bothersome and only hangs the towel on her neck. When it became troublesome since you keep sweating, then it would turn out to be a style where you immediately wipe your sweat with the towel on your shoulder.

  That really doesn’t seem to be something a girl will do before breakfast time. It will just like a middle-aged man who had finished his jogging in the morning.

  「No. You have to properly wipe your sweat and change your clothes before having breakfast.」


  「Ehhー, that’s so troublesome. But you already asked for the maids to prepare the breakfast right? if I change my clothes now, then breakfast will be cold when I finish changing, you know?」


  「……even so, you can’t eat your breakfast while sweating like that. Quickly change your clothes」


  Elna-kaasan’s intention as a mother seems to be wavering after hearing that the breakfast will be cold, but I guess it’s thanks to Nord-tousan being here that she seems to still behaved as a splendid, strict parent.

  「Ehhー」


  Eleonora-neesan expressed her dissatisfaction after hearing Elna-kaasan.

  Eleonora-neesan stares ahead while sulking but then, maybe she notices me who is in front of her since she suddenly smiles happily and says.

  「Al, use your Ice magic to send a wave of cold air to me. That way, I will not need to change my clothes and the sweat will immediately dry」


  「If you dry your sweat with cold air, you’ll catch a cold when your body temperature drops so suddenly――」


  Though I tried to advise her like that, I have never seen Eleonora-neesan catch a cold before.

  While I might be the one saying it, I can’t think of any situation where Eleonora-neesan could catch a cold.

  「But Eleonora-neesan is strong after all, she won’t be able to catch a cold, right」


  「I feel like you thought about something very rude just now. Come on, I will not get angry, so blow some cold air quickly」


  「Okay okay」


  I immediately use Ice magic so that I won’t be hit by my sister who has such a uselessly sharp intuition.

  So I hold up both of my arms toward Eleonora-neesan who is in front of me. Then I cast Ice magic, sending the cold air to her while adjusting it so that it won’t freeze her sweat.

  Eleonora-neesan’s bangs and ponytail flutter, as I blow the cold air to her.

  「……ahー, it’s cool and pleasant」


  Then, Eleonora-neesan untied her hair and raised her voice in ecstasy.

  Eleonora-neesan’s reddish-brown hair which was wet with sweat is swaying in a wave-like manner.

  While that was happening, I patiently keep on holding my hands in front of me as I send the cold wind in her direction. Meanwhile, Eleonora-neesan is flapping the collar of her shirt and blowing with her mouth to send the cold wind into her body, and turning her back to let the area around her nape dry, basically doing as she pleases. There’s no longer any trace of her femininity.

  Just what the heck I’m doing since morning I wonder. Not only me, but when I looked around me, Elna-kaasan, Nord-tousan, and Sylvio-niisan, they all had indescribable expressions on their faces.

  「It’s getting cold, make the wind normal nowー」


  In the midst of such a subtle atmosphere, the person in question - Eleonora-neesan - bluntly says without noticing it all.

  Since she said that she have had enough of the cold wind, I switch to using Wind magic this time.

  When I send a wind using Wind magic to her, Eleonora-neesan was holding her hair tie in her mouth and started to arrange her hair using her fingers as a comb.

  After that she brushes her hair, - and with a familiar movement - she arranged her hair at the back of her head and then she tied up the back of her head using the hair tie on her mouth.

  「Okay, it’s done! I’m not sweaty anymore, now it’s fine, right!」


  Eleonora-neesan effortlessly and quickly tied her head into a ponytail and declared confidently to Elna-kaasan.

  「…for now, yes, change your clothes later all right」


  Elna-kaasan sighed as she looked at Eleonora-neesan with a complicated expression.

  Elna-kaasan’s words don’t seem to be successfully conveyed to Eleonora-neesan, who has low femininity.
