A boy who was disowned because he was second in everything, is unknowingly unmatched

Volume 3

Chapter 3-Cleo as seen from Erio.

(TL: By Rafael)

One day.

　

　Erio was working out with Cleo.

　

　A rocky place a little far from the royal capital. There, they were training intending to improve their basic physical strength.

　

　Strength training such as push-ups and sit-ups, and training to improve cardio-pulmonary functions such as running. According to Cleo, Erio's skill in swordsmanship was excellent.

　

　However, there is an inevitable gap in terms of physical ability.

"Phew*, huh, ......!"(Erio)

(*out of breath )

　

　Because she was a woman - Erio understood this and was determined to overcome it.

　

　Then, she begged Cleo to teach her how to do the jujutsu*

(Training exercises)

"Hmm ...! With this, the quota for the day has been achieved."(Erio)

　

　She said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

　

　Two thousand push-ups and one thousand sit-ups. And I've done a lot of running, short and long-distance. The workouts I've done up to this point have not been lukewarm, but the ones Cleo instructed me to do were out of the ordinary.

　

　Push-ups and sit-ups, both of which were done with unbelievable weights.

"But  with these now I can be a little closer to Cleo."(Erio)

　

　Erio thought to herself and moved on.

　

　Next to the rocky beach was a body of water where she could sweat it out. It felt good to bathe in the cool water at the end of the workout.

　

　It was the only thing that soothed her during this workout.

　

　It was a moment to clear her mind.

"............ hmm?"(Erio)

　

　However, Erio suddenly stopped in his tracks.

　

　Somehow, she heard the sound of the earth from the rocky area on the other side. There must be Cleo there, and she's worried that something unexpected happened. Therefore, deciding to do the bathing later she went to him for a short run.

　

　And there he was.

"Where's ..................?"

　

　The figure of Cleo, carrying a rock that was more than her height, doing squats.

　

　Her whole body was sweating like a waterfall, and she was repeating it breathlessly. However, her axis did not waver, and she smoothly repeated the number of times.

　

　When Erio had arrived, he had counted five thousand.

"Here we go."(Cleo)

　

　--Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

　

　He set the boulder down as casually as if he were unloading his luggage.

　

　Again, the earth rumbled and the air vibrated. Erio saw it, and sweat ran down his cheeks, different from that of his earlier training.

　

　Cleo lightly wiped the sweat off his cheeks and looked at her.

"Oh, good work. Did Erio-san finish too?"(Cleo)

".................."(Erio)

　

　--Cleo wiped off the sweat and looked at her.

　

　――How exciting would it be to take a bath together? When Erio saw his smile, she instinctively put in a slap to her wild thoughts.

Cleo's expression was so radiant that she thought so.

　

　But maybe she was just being skinny and was just worrying needlessly.

　

　She wanted to believe that. That's why Erio asked Cleo.

"Cleo, ....... Are you okay?" 

　

　It was a question to check if he had hurt herself in any way.

　

　It was a question of confirmation.

　

　But how did the boy take it?

"Aah!"(Cleo)

　

　With a big smile on his face, he replied.

"I have to work hard so that I can catch up with Gown-san soon!　　I was confident in my basic physical strength, but in terms of muscle strength, I was losing to him. I need to do this much better! (Cleo)

　

　He added that there was still room for improvement, though.

　

　The moment she heard that Erio's consciousness faded away.

◇◇

"He's crazy, that guy ......."(Erio)

　

　Erio sweats like a waterfall again as she remembered.

　

　Keane and Maki chuckled at the sight of her.

Still, he was  saying that he is second ..."(Erio)

"... How about you to try to endure, Erio"(Keane)

　Keane controls Erio, who shakes her fist tied and shakes.

　What was in her heart may have been awe as well as regret. No, or maybe it was horror.

"Well, then! Then it's my turn at the end!"(Keane)

　

　Anyway, in order to dispel such an atmosphere.

　

　The young elf declared and cleared his throat. Then, in a slow tone of voice, he began to tell the last Cleo legend of the day.

TL Note-  I saw the reviews of Evil Avalon and the comments that poured in and I was honestly touched as I was thinking of dropping the Evil Avalon and Slow life with Craft skills project due to the NU situation but your comments changed my minds and I am not dropping it till readers continue to read it. Thank you for the reviews and comments.
