Chapter 850
We packed up and departed
“I think that in simple skill with the sword, you are already above Phillip. I’m sure the experience fighting monsters and being in danger had something to do with it. Though, if you both went all out, I think that Phillip would still win.”
“Surely you exaggerate… I am still not able to move like him at all.”
“There is no need to be able to move in the same way. You just need to do what suits you best. Though, Phillip is dexterous and can use other kinds of weapons as well. So, who knows where you will both be in the future…”
Though I felt like he was going too far, it did feel like he was acknowledging that I had improved. And so I had to try not to smile too broadly as I entered the tent.
Phillip had rolled out of his sleeping bag and was laying in the middle with his arms spread out. And so I had to roll him over to the corner so I could get in my own sleeping bag…
The next morning, I woke up quietly, so as not to wake up Nicholas, and slipped out of the tent.
“Good morning, Mr. Takumi.”
“Good morning, Phillip.”
He greeted me as he sat in front of the fire.
