The Great Adventure In World Of Sword And Magic.
Chapter 15 - [Flam and My Work]

...CHAPTER 15 - FLAM AND MY WORK...

...◇◇◇...

Flam Crystal. She was the young girl of a traveling merchant named Anto Lyta and the girl I liked.

But, bitter memories of his death. Makes it hard to talk to her, I'm not used to it. Really am..

"So besides herding, are you practicing swordsmanship, Ren-kun?"

"Yes, like that."

It's not that I can't train with my father, but he's always lost for work (he said) and also I don't really want to train with him.

Shepherding cattle in my family is a job that my grandfather and Uncle used to do, but because there was a surge in demand for meat and milk I was assigned to guard and herd the cattle.

I'll do it until the day I wander.

Precisely, I plan after getting Blessed maturity at the age of 16 years later.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

I kept swinging the sword, even though Flam kept looking at me.

It was similar to what Lia used to do, but this was different because Flam did it and it seemed like he had only seen me holding a sword since.

What possible?

"Flam" I called him.

"Yes, Ren-kun?"

"Want to try the Sword?"

His eyebrows slightly raised and he shook his head.

"Ah, no. I'm not an expert."

"It's okay, you might need to use it."

"Yes?"

"So try it."

Flam was a little confused, but he approached and held my iron sword. As he held it, his hands seemed to tremble.

"Flam?"

"Woah, so this feels like a sword! Kinda weird!" He stared at the sword with passion.

It seemed like he was only amazed by his iron sword.

Swabs!

"..."

"Haha!"

I think it would be dangerous for a child to hold a sword, of course I am the exception here.

"Okay, cut it out" I said pulling a sword from him.

"Eh? Wh why? Didn't you ask me?!" He was surprised when I took it.

"Ah, I'm just asking you to just hold it, not play with it."

"Law.. Alright." His face looked sullen and he looked down looking sad

Flam is a bit sad, but let it go. He held it once, so his sword talent might appear.

[Crystal Flam ]

[Job: Merchant (1) Tailor (2) Novice Swordsman (3) ]

Good thing, it looks like he can become a Swordsman. I hope that this way, he can fight his destiny later.

"So, what do you usually do Ren-kun?" He said, sitting on a big rock.

Woosh!

"meaning?"

Woosh!

"Other than you do now."

Woosh!

"Oh, about that. hmm.."

Woosh!

"Can you just stop, if you want?" His words stare at me.

"O-OK.."

So I stopped my swing and turned to look at him.

Seeing him looking at me, I looked up at the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha.I sometimes try magic and sometimes practice sword," I still looked up at the sky.

Suddenly Flam jumped down and shouted happily.

"Magic! Can you do it, Ren-kun?!"

"Oh, Ah ... Aye, right.."

Flam came straight at me without trying to get away. His face is very close!

"Try on and see! I want to know!"

"Oh, te-of course. Waita minute.."

So I tried to get away from her, even though the girl didn't try to stay away at all.

'Uaaah, I felt very groggy just by looking at her face that was too close and the sweet aroma. Uu.. I feel excited and embarrassed now..'

Then I opened my palm.

"Then.. Fire Birds' ass.."

"Wow!?"

Dozens of fireballs formed in the air, which then turned into a bird from the Flame. Seeing a firebird that blazes as if alive is indeed amazing, even though I myself made it though.

They revolved in the air and illuminated the overcast sky.

"Looky! So this is magic!"

"That's how it is, even though I can only fire magic this time."

"Stay, that's cool Ren-kun! I'm glad to see her!"

Seeing the girl smiling broadly made me happy, she was very beautiful and kind. I want to be with him always..

"Ren-kun?"

"Ah? Huh??"

I panicked a little when his face was too close once again.

"Aren't you trying to see your sheep go?"

He pointed to some sheep that had already gone to another path towards the forest.

"Eh? Uh! I almost forgot!"

I was supposed to keep the sheep from going off track and watching him, but I let my guard down for a moment.

Oh shit, looks like there's another sheep coming back into the woods!

"Flam, wait here. I'll work first."

"Well, I'll wait," he said with a gentle smile.

He waved his hand with a smile as I left and it made me even more excited.

So I hurried to where the sheep went.

"Senka, now work with Papa."

"Good, Papa!"

So the mission of keeping the sheep in place begins!

.........

Some of the sheep went into the forest and dispersed south and west.

It seems they are trying to find food in the forest.

We reached the forest and saw the sheep parting in both directions.

Senka jumped out of the shadow and approached me.

"Monday. You brought back the sheep in the south here. I'll pull three sheep in there."

"My! Okay, Papa!"

Senka swiftly disappeared into the shadow of the forest and headed towards the sheep that were going southwards.

Then I rushed to the sheep that ran away to the west.

"Telekinesis," I said, raising my hand to the sheep in front of me.

As if an invisible force was pulling him, the Sheep in front of me floated up and was unable to resist.

"Beee!?"

"One already. Then.."

Without saying the name of my skill, I raised the other two Sheep.

'Ugh. this is my limit like.'

The Telekinesis Skill is still Level 1, nor am I experienced in this Skill. Looks like I need to raise it if there's a chance.

But I must make these three sheep not try to escape first.

"Okay, then pull over here.."

I pulled the three towards me and put them in front of me.

"So, you three.. Come with me, I'll lead you to the meadow."

So I led them to the other sheep in the pasture.

It was tiring, but I saw Senka carrying 8 Sheep into her place. Even if everything looks scared.

"What are you doing?"

"Papa?"

Senka furiously walked towards me, she tilted her head. That's cute, but why not just answer.

Senka cutely holds my leg. Oh never mind..

"Good job, Senka."

"Hehe~"

I rubbed his head gently.

"Get into my shadow again, I'll give you a biscuit."

"Yay!"

Innocently, Senka dived into my shadow once again.

All right, all the sheep are regularly in the meadow. Looks like I will be able to take care of them easily now.

So I went to the place where Flam was.

I found him sitting on a big rock that I used to sit on.

"Is it done?" He asked me curiously.

"Yes. That's it."

So I sat not far from him.

"Mr.."

"What's wrong?"

"Who's the girl?"

"Hm?"

The girl who looks about the same age as Flam, has reddish Orange hair.

She looked at me cynically with her green eyes, the food basket was in her hands and she looked annoyed.

That girl, Lia glared at us.

"..?"

Wh why?
