Chapter 504
Liza was highly motivated
“Hmph! Hmph!”
Liza was swinging her knife around enthusiastically.
This was the first time I actually saw her using it, and it didn’t seem like she was in any danger of hurting herself.
Perhaps Mr. Reyndorf had taught her a little, or she learned it while living in the slums.
Still, as Liza had short arms, she did not look too capable either.
“Wuff. Wuff?”
“I’m fine, mama! I’m going to do my best!
“Wuff…”
“Kyu?”
As I was thinking about it, Leo pushed her nose towards Liza and barked with concern.
But Liza just laughed confidently and replied.
She hadn’t looked completely sure earlier, but it seemed like holding the knife had helped her.
As for Sherry…she did not seem to understand why people were worried.
After all, she was both younger and smaller than Liza.
Not only that, but while Sherry had quickly become exhausted while running in the garden, Liza had always been fine.
“Father! Why don’t you stop her!? To allow someone so young to fight!”
“Ca-calm down, Claire… I have thought this through, understand? Not only can I hold back, but I can make her give up without her getting injured…”
I could hear Ms. Claire’s angry voice… This was probably going to take awhile.
Ms. Claire saw Liza as being like a little sister now, and so she was mad at her father.
But while he seemed overwhelmed, he tried to explain.
Still, I also felt worried about the idea of letting Liza fight with a knife…
Regardless, I was able to listen to their conversation from where I stood. As was Leo, as she had good ears.
And this is what Mr. Ekenhart said.
First, in order to determine whether or not she had enough skill, she would have to fight Mr. Ekehnhart.
Of course, he was only going to dodge her attacks and defend himself.
Like this, he could see how Liza moved and make a decision.
And since Liza had not been trained to use a weapon, there was no way that she would be able to do anything. His expectation was that she would just swing in the air and never hit him.
And so Liza would realize that she was not ready yet, and we would decide that it was too early for her to be fighting orcs.
We were all already very worried, and so we would be very strict when judging her.
This way, we could prevent her from fighting without hurting Liza’s feelings.
…Well, Liza was likely to be sad if she realized she couldn’t do it, but… As Mr. Ekenhart said, it was better for her future to do it this way, then reject her completely from the beginning.
“Lady Claire, perhaps that is enough…”
“Hah…very well. I understand your intention now, father. But if Liza is hurt even a little…”
“…Yes?”
“Neither I nor Tilura will speak to you for some time!”
“Tsk. That hurts… I was never going to allow it in the first place, but I will be extra careful now. I promise.”
“Yes, do that. …Well, I won’t even have to do anything, because I’m sure that good Leo will scold you first…”
“Wuff!”
“…I will definitely not hurt her! Yes!”
Sebastian finally went in and stopped Ms. Claier.
But before stepping away, Ms. Claire spoke to him in a low, threatening voice.
It did not seem like much of a threat, but I suppose it was a big deal for him as their father.
I would probably take it badly if Liza refused to speak to me for a few days… Of course, she wouldn’t do that.
As Tilura was also nodding, Mr. Ekenhart promised to be extra careful.
Ms. Claire really was merciless when it came to her father…well, Ms. Anne as well… But she was nice to almost everyone else.
Leo was also glaring at Mr. Ekenhart.
At this point, I was starting to feel sorry for him.
After all, it was Liza who had insisted on it.
…That being said, if Liza did get hurt, even I wouldn’t be able to stop Leo.
