Chapter 31

The Earth and Spirits
Early morning on a holiday, Seiryuu woke up at the same time as on a weekday and went through his morning workout.
First, he walked 10 laps around the training hall, then did 200 sit-ups and 200 back stands each. Then, he did 100 push-ups with only one arm each and then started swinging. The feeling of the imitation sword cutting through the air was pleasant, and his nerves became sharp.
Perhaps it was because his senses were heightened that he picked up sounds other than the rustling of leaves in the trees. The footsteps were approaching, though still distant.
He lowered his sword and stared into the shadows of the school building. What suddenly appeared was rose-colored hair more vivid than the morning sun.
“Oh, it’s Seiryuu. Good morning.”
Sheila with her wide eyes rushed over to him. Seiryuu put his imitation sword aside and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.
“Good morning, Sheila. You’re looking a little formal, aren’t you?”
He wondered what happened to her so early in the morning, but the first thing that caught his attention was her outfit.
Sheila was clad in a breastplate, glove and simple armor. On a leather belt at her waist was a knife, a sword, and several pockets. She had a quiver on her back and a bow in her left hand. On her head was a folded towel with colorful feathers tucked into it, which made her appearance somewhat strange. Should he ask what was going on?
