While being stuck in the room for a few days, the work of the preys that I had left behind through the butler was almost finished. Some of the tanned fur was left to a designer specialized in men’s clothing. To make a gift for the Eckliss.

However, it takes quite a long time to make clothes. I had no choice but to give something relatively quick in production.

Having received the luxury case from the butler, I went straight to get ready to go out.

‘It was 67 percent, I guess.’

I was in a hurry to check the favorability of Eckliss, which would have risen sharply without seeing it. But after finishing all the preparations and about to leave the room, the weather was not very good.

“Do you really have to go out for a walk in this weather, miss?”

Emily looked out the window and handed over the umbrella with a worried look. Even though it was early in the morning, the sky full of dark clouds looked as dark as evening.

Hwingggg— The sound of the wind leaking through the window frames was dreary.

‘Should I just go next time.’

I followed Emily out of the window, and there was a slight hesitation.

But even after returning from the hunting competition, I haven’t seen Eckliss for nearly two weeks on the pretext that no gifts have been made.

In the meantime, if he’d been bullied and bullied again and I’d lost his favor….

‘No! Let’s give him a quick message before it rains!’

I was rushed out of the room with an umbrella handed over.

“I’ll be right back.”

But as soon as I entered the forest road to the training field, the rain began to pour. I opened my umbrella in a hurry and looked up at the dilapidated sky with an anxious face.

“Ha…… it’s a sign of bad luck.”

But since I came out, I didn’t even have to go back. I walked faster instead. The butler had been informed of the intermission of the training. It was a one-time morning break, so I better to hurry.

However, when I arrived, the training field was empty.

“What… …where’s everybody gone?”

I moved my steps, looking around the open space. Come to think of it, the training was over early when I happened to meet Eckliss while taking a walk on a rainy day the other day.

‘has the training finished early because of the rain?’

I walked slowly along the grass on the edge of the training field. It was to avoid running into any remaining articles. I bet I had walked about half a turn like that.

Stroke, whick!

There was a sudden sound of sword breaking the wind. In the corner of the training field, in the fog, someone was hitting the scarecrow in succession.

‘… …Eckliss?’

My eyes widened when I recognized who it was. Last time he stayed alone and trained on a rainy day, it was no different this time.

Stroke, whick-!

Every time he hit the wooden sword he was holding hard, the straw splashed wildly, ‘Puck, parsu-!’ A blunt bundle of straw was torn and rolled on the floor.

‘He’s still like that.’

I now know that his figure wasn’t a good swing at all.

To move on to the next level of training, he had to cut the scarecrow neatly with a sword in his throat. Not cutting the straw off by force.
