*'' | *'''Ara''': ''(It's fine…. That was for the best….)'' | ||
*''Sparring match with Second Brother from before kept coming up in my mind every time I swung my spear.'' | |||
*'''Ara''': ''(That's right…. Mother will be troubled…. If I had attacked Second Brother and somehow hurt him.)'' | |||
*''Even though I thought it was for the best in the corner of my mind, there was always me who was regretting stopping my hand at that moment whenever I came to my senses. I struggled to hide this feeling but only a very frustrated emotion remained in the end. How I couldn't live openly with my head held high was frustrating and my mother being pained because of the other siblings was frustrating as well. But most of all, how I couldn't beat the other siblings in something I was most confident at was most frustrating.'' | |||
*'''Ara''': ''(It's not fine…. It's frustrating….)'' | |||
*''Tears that I tried to hold back burst open. It has been so long since I cried out loud. And after sitting down on the spot and wiping my eyes for a bit, now I even felt angry.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''Are you alright?'' | |||
*''Stream of tears that didn't show any signs of stopping instantly stopped when a familiar voice came from beside me.'' | |||
*'''Ara''': ''O, of course…. I, I'm fine!'' | |||
*''I stood up hastily while wiping my tears to see Elder Brother Aren with a worried expression. Elder Brother Aren handed me a handkerchief and stood beside me without saying a word until I calmed down.'' | |||
*'''Ara''': ''I'm sorry….. I showed you myself being so unsightly.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''No, I fully understand. Everyone has particularly difficult times…..'' | |||
*''Elder Brother Aren who was picking up my spear from the ground below his feet made a quite serious expression. I took the spear and thanked him as I took couple steps in order to leave quickly. But I couldn't go far because I had no choice but to stop from Elder Brother Aren's words.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''Would you like to have a proper sparring match with me?'' | |||
*''As I pondered for a while thinking about what I should say in order to refuse without being disrespectful, Elder Brother Aren challenged me to a sparring match one more time.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''This isn't a request. This is an order as the eldest son.'' | |||
*''There was no way I could refuse. Elder Brother Aren approached me who was turning around unconfidently then fixed the sword he was holding. He spoke as he lightly hit my spear with the sword.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''Try attacking me all you want. Don't think about anything else.'' | |||
*''Elder Brother Aren swung his sword strongly as he pressured me without showing even a slight hint of openings. I had to focus all my strength on blocking Elder Brother's attacks.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''This shouldn't be all there is to your skills! Try more seriously!'' | |||
*''I was gradually pushed back and fell into a position where I couldn't escape anymore because I had my back to a giant tree. I was looking for a chance to try and escape to a more open area when Elder Brother's sword approached me again. I couldn't dodge it. I had to face it instead. I saw an opening in Elder Brother's attack for just a very slight instant. I quickly blocked the sword with my spear then attacked Elder Brother's side with the back of my spear. Then I turned around as I raised the spear. My spear had approached the tip of Elder Brother's chin.'' | |||
*'''Ara''': ''H…. how…. can this…?'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''Amazing… I lost. It's my defeat.'' | |||
*''Elder Brother Aren smiled joyfully as he dropped his sword. My movements just now were exactly the same as the movements I had always drawn in my mind.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''I know that you're always timid from being wary about other brothers and sisters.'' | |||
*''I looked up at Elder Brother's face as I withdrew my spear.'' | |||
*'''Aren''': ''But if you continue to steadily devote yourself to your training, there will certainly come a day when you can openly express yourself.'' | |||
*''Elder Brother was staring far off into an unknown distance. His face looked slightly tired.'' | |||
