A priest who examined Mew’s birth and condition came to visit.
To Mew and her parents, who were sitting on the bed with a lively appearance that could not have been imagined before, he gave a short message without hiding his awe for the high sky.
“… … This is a miracle. How could this happen… … 』
The body, which was running towards death like a dried and twisted plant that could no longer be revived even if watered, was miraculously improved, and it seemed as if it had become a new body altogether.
I couldn’t go out very well, so my pale skin and white skin were still there,
Mew’s bright purple eyes were full of hope, joy, and vitality that could not be compared to before.
“Please bless me.”
The priest smiled softly at the sight of Mew, and just knelt down and prayed for the living miracle that happened before my eyes.
On that day, an early morning feast was held.
The cake that Mew liked, the book she wanted to read, the clouds and the twinkling night sky above the wonderful garden she had only seen through picture books, and the horse she had never ridden before because of her weakness… …
Mew achieved what she wanted to do if her chronic illness got better that day.
The soles of my feet really sting on the blade of grass I was walking on my feet, but it made me laugh out of joy.
It was at a level that was very embarrassing to even look at as pain. It was only a slight tickle.
Breathe in deep into your lungs and breathe fresh air. Mu smiled brightly. Clearly, it was just air with no shape or smell, but to Mew, it felt more delicious than a birthday cake. I put a lot of air in my cheeks and swallowed it through my throat several times. It was sweet. happy.
His weak stamina, which was quickly exhausted from walking inside the house, became a level where there would be no problem at all even if Mew ran up the ridge all day.
Because of this, Mu’s parents could not handle their daughter’s overflowing stamina, so they had time to take a break by bending their backs on a wooden pole in the middle.
The day when the scarlet sunset colored the sky beautifully.

Dressed in a pure white dress, Mew walked barefoot on the grass and spun around on the spot.
Her hair, which seemed to contain the splendor of the Milky Way, was split into strands and fluttered, and her smile was full of the natural nature of a child of her age.
The outside world was so much fun.
If he had left this life without even having such a pleasant experience, he would have regretted it, shedding tears of blood even to death… …
The deep night is coming
Her father carefully picked up Mew, who had been looking up at the constellation that appeared in the night sky a while ago, sleeping quietly amid the crowing of grasshoppers, and took her home.
From then on, Mu did what he wanted to do.
Making friends of the same age was unexpectedly an afterthought. I started doing things that interest me more than that.
Mew’s parents also completely followed their daughter’s wishes. When a cute and pretty daughter who won’t hurt even if she puts it in her eyes earnestly asked her with bright eyes, she had no choice but to listen.
In a year, I really did a lot.
Listing each one would be endless.
I also went on a long trip with my parents. There, Mew gained enthusiastic popularity with many people for her mysterious appearance like a fairy in a fairy tale.
It was only then that Mew realized, at least in a small way, that he looked unusual. It was never a bad feeling, so I thought it was okay.
For Mew, everything in the world was strange and interesting.
There were a lot of things I couldn’t understand until I saw it with my own two eyes. As the things that I had only read in books unfolded before my eyes, I realized what it was like to be alive each time.
Every moment was exhilarating, it was always new, and I never got tired of playing without worrying about getting sick.
When she was freed from the environment that had been oppressed for 10 years, and she had more stamina than the ordinary girl she had longed for, Mew turned into a running magic train.
Although it was a very radical expression to use for a poor girl, it wasn’t wrong.
If there was something impossible due to family circumstances, I gave up neatly, but other than that, if I was interested, I would definitely do it.
Also, surprisingly.
Mew was very talented in every way.
After making attempts that had never been done before due to a weak body, most of them achieved extraordinary achievements in a short time, Mew’s parents began to ponder deeply about their daughter’s future career at some point.
Mu was a child who would thrive no matter what.
Except for the fact that he has become more active, it is safe to say that there is nothing impossible for Mu, who inherited the superior genes of his mother and father, who had once made a name in the village, and possessed both a high intellectual level and an overflowing stamina improved through reading. .
If there was only one problem, it was the fact that Mew’s status was a commoner, but unlike a century ago, a world has arrived in which even commoners can easily be recognized if they have the skills.
Of course, discrimination against commoners is still prevalent in many parts of the continent, but the most famous and powerful Imperial Academy in the Empire——the top class of the Frontier also had a number of commoners.
One day, the worries that were not like that continued.
“… … boring.”
Mew, who filled out the list of things I wanted to do for the day, was still bored, so I put something elongated around the house into my sight.
An old sword that Mew’s father used when he was young.
As the years passed, the leather of the sword part had worn out and became rough, and it was a rusty sword that might injure the palm of your hand if you hold it and swing it.
It was a dangerous object for a young girl to handle.
Mew held the heavy sword with both hands without difficulty, and while his parents were away for a while, he went out to the yard and drew the sword. The rustling sound of iron from the stiff scabbard resounded shallowly.
I had seen the sword in a book before.
I also knew the story of a great warrior who ran like a demon on a burning battlefield with only one sword in his hand.
What was the description then?
Of course, there must have been exaggerated expressions as it was a novel, but it was said that the surrounding air waves were greatly vibrated just by swinging the sword lightly.
「Hey.」
Mew swung the sword back and forth as described.
But there was only a swish, swish, swish, and I didn’t feel the air trembling or the leaves around me dancing.
Was it weak?
Then a little bit harder.
Wheeik—
“… … 』
This time too, it wasn’t good.
what’s wrong
Of course, as it was the first sword I was holding, I knew that it wouldn’t be as portrayed, but somehow I felt a sense of unease.
What I wanted to do so far has come true as far as possible. However, since it was the first time that such a weapon technique required long-term skill, the spirit of victory that had been sleeping in Mew’s heart gradually lifted his head.
swish, swish, swish… …
Even Mu himself thought that it was a very disappointing swordsmanship. Could it be that he really couldn’t be good at everything?
Nope. Let’s try a little more though.
It’s too early to give up yet.
Books don’t lie. Although the lies of 9 were mixed, the truth of 1 was contained in it.
Mew wanted to use even one of the swordsman swords of the great warrior written in the book he had read.
Mu thought so.
Now, if anyone had seen the young Mew wielding a sword from afar, they would not be able to hide the rising astonishment and horror.
A child holding a sword for the first time may not be able to properly hold a sword as tall as I am, but Mew was not able to wield it without difficulty, so he was practicing the swordsmanship that his older brother was caught weakly. It was as if he had awakened from a previous life he had devoted his whole life to sharpening and polishing his sword.
It was the kick of a genius.
The genius who only opened his eyes now put his last breath and put the world to a standstill except for himself for a moment.
“… … !」
For a moment, Mew instinctively felt it.
A totally different swordsmanship comes out than before.
woo woo woo-
body twisted to the right. trembling body.
A strange heat, as if the blood was burning hot.
In a sense that his vision was dazzling and his eyes seemed to be blinded, Mew did not lose his way and grabbed the sword he held with both hands.
So, towards an intangible goal.
Aww—
He lowered the sword that was raised over his shoulder.
“My daughter, I bought you the bread you like… … ?』
… … widely.
Mew’s mother was startled and covered her mouth with her hand.
Mew’s father, who was sitting next to him, dropped the bread he was holding, but he had no time to worry about it, he opened his mouth wide and couldn’t hide his astonishment.
A strong wind blew.
The leaves of a tree deeply rooted in the yard were torn apart by the sharp wind and cut diagonally.
Mew was a long way from there.
Mew murmured as she pulled out her sword.
“… … Ah, done.”
In the afterimage of the half moon drawn by the sword of Mew,
There was a dark blue shadow.
Three years have passed since then.
The dean of Larsen Academy, who stopped by his hometown to visit relatives, saw a girl dancing sword dance in a corner of the yard of a house.
The worries didn’t last long.
Her age was now the right time to enter middle school, and as soon as she verified her intelligence as if she had already surpassed the elementary school graduation level a long time ago.
The dean bowed respectfully to Mew’s parents and scouted Mew to the Lawrsen Academy.
There was no objection.
Rather, it was a good opportunity. I thought that my daughter would need to be friends her age as well.
Moreover, Lorsen Academy was a prestigious and prestigious academy in the Empire. The location is also very close to the capital.
Considering the circumstances of Mu’s family, he promised full scholarship support, so there was no better opportunity than this.
But Mu didn’t seem to like it that much. Of course, swordsmanship was fun, but if I had to devote my life to it, it would become a concern again.
Rather, what
Unfortunately, I would rather lie in bed and read my favorite book.
However, as Mew, he was also interested in an educational facility called the Academy. It was a moment when I was slowly becoming interested in being friends of the same age.
Until now, many boys and girls in the village wanted to hang out with Mew, but somehow they did not match Mew’s sensibility.
Is it because I realized a lot earlier? The children, who were probably the same age as you, looked a lot younger again… …
so half a year later.
After a tearful see-off, Mew left the village.
From now on, we will leave the friendly countryside and head to the center of the empire full of surprises and new things. It was sad to part with my parents, but it was only temporary.
At the place where they arrived by carriage, Mew and the dean boarded the magic train for the first time, and for a short time Mew had a fantastic experience.
“… … Wow.”
When Mew got off the train and took a look at the magnificent scenery of the Larsen Academy, he felt his heart beating with excitement.
He had no interest in things like grades or studies.
It was an academy that I went to based solely on interest and interest.
So here too, Mew was still selfish.
The admission of the freshman Mu was widely known.
He didn’t do anything on his own, but rumors about an amazing freshman had spread throughout the academy.
Nominee for special admission to the Swordsmanship Club.
A full scholarship student who only selects four students a year.
Even from afar, she has a beautiful appearance that makes her existence shine brightly, and she is a beautiful girl who looks innocent enough to stimulate the innocence of many male students. From the early days of admission, there was a pouring of intellectual confessions towards Mew.
Of course, they all declined.
I didn’t like the fact that he was flirting with a man he didn’t know, much less he was interested in making a point of contact.
It had been a long time since I realized that I was pretty, but it wasn’t until after entering the academy that I felt that it was directly bothering me.
Still, it seemed that I was vaguely aware of the meaning of handsome, so I liked that. It was certainly possible to judge who was ugly and who was handsome when looked at objectively.
“It’s a pure lie.”
However, Mu was soon disappointed.
It is because she did not feel the excitement of a girl who was pounding while describing a man’s handsomeness in many love novels.
After all, the novel was a part of the author’s delusional lies… …
As a freshman, Mew had already decided on a career path as soon as he entered the school.
In the meantime, I was busy doing various things, but reading was like a habit, I was looking at one book a day.
It may be due to the accumulated experience, but reading has not changed, and it has consistently brought emotion and fun to Mew.
like that,
Mu started managing the library in March.
In the morning, when you have a little break, during lunch, during extracurricular activities, and after school until the evening when the library is closed.
Mew lived buried in books.
Reading a book was always fun, so there was no time for boredom, so Mu leaned or sat at the desk and read quietly.
… … It was like that for about 2 weeks.
“… … Hmm-”
Since when, Mu has been able to spot a male student who goes to the Academy Library without skipping a day.
