Episode 97: How to Spend Leisure Time
For the time being, the “Blue Comet” ignored all interference from that mercenary group and the villagers.
They set up a watch and went to sleep together…
And the next day.
As expected, no one tried to sneak into the “Blue Comet’s” tent in the middle of the night.
I’ll say it again, they should be smart enough to avoid an all-out war.
Sexual harassment and discriminatory remarks are commonplace in this world, so they probably don’t even realize they’re doing anything wrong.
It’s like… the mentality of a bully? The “I was just teasing, why are you getting so mad?” kind of attitude. The worst kind.
What’s more, some guys who have a lot of women act like, “You should be happy I’m paying attention to you, right?” Seriously, if a feminist came to this world, wouldn’t they explode with anger? That’s how it feels.
Anyway, they’re not exactly “enemies.” They just act like enemies by default, but they’re not trying to be hostile…
If that’s the case, I need to firmly say “NO!” while keeping a certain distance.
Well, it’ll work out somehow.
“Alright, alright! Breakfast is ready! Line up… I said line up! Hey! No fighting!”
For now, I have to manage the morning’s fierce battle.
The expedition has already taken a week just to get here, and everyone’s getting on edge because they haven’t had a proper rest.
The “Blue Comet” girls are unfortunately like a type of mountain ape called Strider.
If you take your eyes off them, they’ll fight or bully each other. It’s a common occurrence.
Katrina and Kaede get angry if they go too far, so there’s a minimum level of discipline…
But basically, they’re still brats. Middle school level! Well, that’s good enough in this world.
In any case, I have to do my best too.
I need to stop the fighting and bullying as much as possible, and also help them relieve some stress.
“Alright, let’s go!”
“Ooooh!!!”
Oops, Katrina’s command echoed.
Ah, it’s time to sortie.
“Hey! Lunch boxes! They’re ready, don’t forget them!”
“…Haa. Everyone, receive your lunch boxes from Andrews.”
“Woooow!!!”
It’s not very disciplined at all… Katrina sighed.
Well, sorry.
But it’s hard to see cute girls starving…
Noon.
Before the meal, the girls gathered and were doing something.
“Ora!” “Gwaa!”
Whoa, they’re fighting!
“Hey, hey! What are you doing?!”
When I intervened…
“Huh? We’re training?”
They replied.
Is this Jormungandr or something? Are there werewolves here?
I put impromptu gloves on the hands of the two girls who were fighting.
“I’m not saying you can’t do it, but be careful not to get hurt!”
“You’ll get hurt if you fight.”
“That’s true! That’s true! …Ah, then don’t use ‘Adamantine Strength,’ just use ‘Adamantine Body’!”
“That’s… well, that’s what we always do.”
“Also, don’t follow up if someone falls! Even if it doesn’t look like anything, it’s dangerous if their brain gets shaken!”
“If you fall, you lose! Got it! Alright, let’s do it!”
“Uoooooo!!!”
Whoa, they started hitting each other hard…
Striders are scary after all…
Every single one of them has a face that looks like they should be connected to love and peace, but this is what they’re doing.
It’s a waste because they’re cute…
Well, these are the women who chose the path of “killing each other.”
If a woman has nowhere to turn, there’s a quicker job called “prostitute.”
But the people who don’t want to be prostitutes, can’t study and start something from scratch, or aren’t satisfied with the current situation, choose to be Striders.
Of course, there are also cases where the second or third sons of farming villages, or damaged women, have no future if they stay where they are.
Even so, they’re the people who decided to rely on “violence”… their own strength, their arms, to live.
The “Blue Comet” is the same.
So, it may seem barbaric, but this is probably their true form.
…However, their technique is clumsy.
Why are they exchanging gani-mata telephone punches like fantasy thugs?
“Hey, hey.”
“Huh? What?”
“Your fist grip isn’t good. Grip from the little finger in order, and fold your thumb.”
“Like this?”
“When you punch, don’t swing your arm around, but tuck your elbows in and punch with the twist of your waist.”
“Oh, this is… good!”
“Keep your body joints bent as much as possible… and small, half-body. The front of your body has many weaknesses, so don’t face your opponent.”
“…Hey, why do you know martial arts secrets?”
The large woman from some tribe who was being instructed tilted her head, but…
“I don’t know everything, just what I know.”
I played the heroine and brushed it off…
Anyway, I can’t stop the barbaric activities.
If that’s the case, I have no choice but to teach them the correct form and rules to reduce the risk of injury…
