There were some more items, but I decided to ignore them for now, as I stated a question towards the system.
'What kind of coins does it require for me to purchase in the shop?'
[The host can obtain coins by completing a task given by me.]
[Task:
Learn Basic Swordsmanship
Difficulty: Beginner
Reward: 100 coins]
'So I complete tasks assigned by the system and receive coins based on the difficulty of the task?'
[Correct.]
'Sounds simple enough.'
"What's wrong, why did you stop eating? Is something bothering you?"
My stepmother inquired, a worried expression on her face, as I was lost in thought.
"No, I just spaced out for a bit."
I excused myself and continued eating. Thus the rest of the meal passed peacefully. After the meal, I went to my room and changed into clothes more suitable for exercise.
When I arrived at the training ground, I encountered an unexpected situation. Estonia and Lilliana could be seen facing each other. They were holding wooden spears in each of their hands and were seemingly preparing to spar.
'But, how did they change so quickly? I thought it takes women longer to get changed.'
When I was thinking about trivial things, Estonia raised a war cry and rushed towards Lilliana. Her movements are slow and clumsy, but you can tell she puts a lot of effort into her spear training. Her movements had patterns as if they were following a script, she's not ready for real fighting yet but she's still 9 so it's understandable.
In the face of Estonia's attack, Liliana stood still. After Estonia was within Liliana's reach, she swung her spear, but Liliana easily parried the spear and put her spear to Estonia's neck.
"You are following the spear techniques too strictly, you need to be more flexible and use appropriate techniques based on the situation you are in. You should also learn to switch from one technique to another quickly, but I see you are training hard. Excellent work!"
After the fight, Lilliana gave Estonia advice on what she should work on while also complimenting her hard work with a motherly smile.
'She is a good mother.'
I was surprised at her motherly nature, as most nobles thought of their children as tools.
Estonia bowed respectfully in response to Lilliana's words, a satisfied smile on her face.
I approached them because I thought it was a good time, and they seemed to notice me as well, turning their heads towards me. Lilliana's eyes widened with surprise when she saw me on the training grounds. The previous Flynn was never seen near the training grounds because he was mostly locked up in his room.
Lilliana smiled kindly, although she was surprised. She felt it would be impolite to express surprise in this situation.
"Flynn, are you here to train?"
"That is correct."
I respectfully replied, but I was surprised by her next words.
"How about we train together? Because you and Estonia are nearly the same age, can I instruct both of you?"
Joint training does not appear to be a bad idea, but rather an excellent opportunity to gain some affection. I can also seize Estonia's parliament, as she is poised to become a true powerhouse in the near future.
"Please take care of me."
As such, I gratefully accepted.
