Sweet Curse
Rehearses

"Grandfather?!" Juna was in disbelief when he heard that a better teacher than his aunt was his own grandfather.

"Not wrong. Back when your grandfather was a young man, he was the strongest god in nature. You're so lucky to be trained by him directly."

How could Juna believe it? Maybe in his old days grandfather could have been the most powerful god, but now he is very old. All his hair was bleached and even for walking, grandfather had to be helped with a cane. How could Juna possibly let an aged person train him to fight?

"But wouldn't it be too tiring for grandfather if he had to train me at his current age?"

"Don't worry. You just meet Grandpa tomorrow on the front court and you judge for yourself how well your grandfather fights."

Even so Juna still felt bad to have his grandfather teach him to practice at his current age.

"Can't we wait until Aunt Lilith recovers?"

Lilith shook her head slowly. The smile on his face also disappeared. "There is a lunar eclipse soon. When that happens the strength of the demons will increase many times than usual. That would be the right time for your father to attack us. We have no choice but to train you faster."

"good. I-i understand. Then I'll train as best I can with grandfather."

Here's Juna. Standing in front of the grandfather in the middle of the training arena. I don't know what makes Grandpa happy, but from then on, Grandpa kept smiling. Making Juna's guilt disappear turned into confusion.

"Are we able to begin the exercise, Cake?" Juna asked at last because it seemed like the grandfather just kept smiling happily with his own world.

"Oh right, forgive Grandpa. Grandpa was so happy that he forgot our original purpose."

"Is that how fun it is to practice?"

"So long ago grandfather wanted to train boys, but who would have thought that grandfather had two daughters."

"Grandfather who trains mothers and aunts?"

"of course. Who else would train them if not your grandfather."

"What's the difference between training men and women, Cake?"

"Of course it's different. Women have certain limits that their bodies can accept. Because basically the body of a woman is not for fighting. Different from men. The male body is endowed with the creator to take care of the people they care about. Because of that men can accept all the moves as long as they can still learn them."

"Grandpa's happy about it?"

"of course. Because Grandpa doesn't have to hold it anymore. Also eventually Grandpa could find the right person to lower all of Grandpa's abilities."

"That sounds fun." Juna started to get excited.

"Of course it's fun. Grandpa will teach you everything Grandpa can."

Grandpa threw out a stick and started stretching on his already bent body. Juna smiled happily at the great looking grandfather's horses.

Juna laughed at himself. It seems like yesterday Juna was worried about unnecessary things. Stupid jerk.

"You still here?" Lilith asked Lisa who was still looking after her.

"of course. There's nothing I can do here but look after Auntie."

"You don't want to train with Juna?"

Lisa shook her head slowly while smiling faintly. "I don't want to disturb him from practicing."

Smilingly. Lilith began to stretch her body slightly, causing Lisa to panic as Lilith suddenly stood up from her bed.

"What did Auntie do? Aunt still has to rest."

"Didn't you hear the word physician? The wound healed quickly."

"Right, but that doesn't mean Aunt has made a full recovery. Aunt still has to rest."

"What difference? After all, constantly lying in bed will not speed up the healing of the wound. What's going on is just gonna make my muscles stiffer."

"Well if Bibi forces, but where is Aunt going? I'll go with Auntie."

"What's? Aunty don't joke."

But this is where Lisa stands now. In a room full of weapons that Lisa has never seen her form so far.

"This?"

"This is our arsenal. We keep weapons of war and also some heirlooms inside here."

Lisa was still staring in amazement at this room full of weapons. No wonder getting in here requires a magic spell. It could be bad if this place reached the enemy.

"Pick the weapon you want."

Lisa surprised. Staring at Lilith in disbelief. "Is it okay? Isn't this a weapon for soldiers?"

"Of course it's okay. You are also part of us now. Don't hesitate to choose the right weapon for you."

There was a large sword that had many branches. The rope with the tip has a small knife. Spear with three knives. Only familiar arrows in his eyes.

"I chose this." Lisa took the bow with her arrow.

"Good choice." Lilith smiled happily.

The weapon Lisa chose was her sister's weapon while she was still here. Who would have thought their resemblance was not just in attitude. They are also similar to this.

"good. We're gonna start practicing now."

"Wait first. Is Aunt's injury really gonna be okay?"

"Don't worry. I'm completely healed. If you are still worried. I won't move much for today."

Lisa nodded in agreement and that was how the archery practice and also learning their spells began.

#

"Where have you been? Did you go with Auntie? I was looking for you in the nursery." Juna asked when he saw Lisa had just returned to his room so late.

"Ehm, I went with Aunt Lilith. What about your training?"

"Funny. Who would have thought beating Grandpa was not an easy matter. He's a tough opponent. I'm judging too quickly."

"Then it's good."

"What about Aunt Lilith's wound?"

"Tabib said his wound was almost recovered, sooner than expected."

Juna nodded with a smile. "That's great. Then get some rest. You must be tired."

"You too."

After that, the two closed the door to each other. It's not without reason that Lisa didn't talk about her training with Lilith. All this was not separated from Lilith's request. He didn't want her to worry about her condition.

Lilith insisted that she was healed. Even ready to fight whenever the enemy comes.

#

The days of Juna and Lisa are filled with constant practice. Not only Leos, Lilith also trained Lisa all the spells she mastered.

Maybe because of Lisa's greater energy power. Not only is it fast when learning it, even Lisa can make the spell work twice as well as Lilith taught.

Lilith was very happy to teach Lisa to practice. It felt like he was training with his brother like he used to be.

It's been a long time. It would be a lie if Lilith didn't miss those days. Moreover, her brother had to leave in a painful manner.

Lilith promised herself and her brother that she would take back her body. That way he will not be ashamed to meet his brother in the afterlife.
