Epilogue
“It’s been a long time since we’ve been back here,” I said as we entered my room. It hadn’t changed at all since the time I had left. I wasn’t really sleepy, yet a part of me felt tired, and so I threw my body onto my bed. Actually, when I tried to close my eyes a bit, I could feel myself being tempted by sleep, so perhaps I was a bit tired.
“Would you like some tea?” Lynokis offered.
“Yes, please.”
Lynokis began preparing the tea with trained hands. It was almost time for lunch, so I took no snacks with it. I was getting quite sleepy, but I couldn’t take a nap right after returning home, so I sluggishly pushed myself off the bed and sat myself down at the table.
“Is it really okay for you to stay here and not return home?” I asked. The servants who accompanied children to the academy were required to almost constantly be by their charge. They had not a single moment to return home during the semester. Therefore, it was the norm for them to use the time during longer holiday periods like the summer and winter breaks to take their own vacation and return home. I had asked Lynokis about it when I first heard that was the case, but I thought I would ask again to be sure.

“Oh, it’s fine. We exchange letters all the time anyway.” The response was exactly the same as when I had asked her the first time. “Plus, I’m worried about you. So worried I don’t feel as if I can take my eyes off of you for even a second.” That was also what she had followed her response up with the first time.
Lynokis had become even more overprotective ever since our trip to the Umbral Arena. I only had myself to blame for that one though.

“Also, I still haven’t had the chance to sleep in the same bed as you.”
“I’ve told you over and over, we already have. You just weren’t awake.”
“And I’ve thought about it over and over—that just makes no sense to me. How could you have slept beside me without me waking up? It’s unthinkable.”
“Because of the blood loss, no? You did just have your arm cut off.” And I had maybe possibly punched her hard enough that she had fallen even deeper into unconsciousness.

“Something is definitely strange here...”
Over a month had passed since that incident already—Lynokis really was stubborn. Honestly, if she kept being so obsessed with the idea of co-sleeping with me, I’d only end up even more scared of her... But at least she was the same old suspicious attendant that I knew and loved.
After having lunch in the mansion, I wandered into the garden and watched Neal and Lynette train, occasionally giving advice here and there. Since they were using wooden swords, there wasn’t a whole lot I could add though. In fact, given it was a style of a completely different school, I shouldn’t have been saying anything at all. Lynette was skilled herself, so I was just getting in the way, really. Unnecessary comments would make her job harder.
Lynokis used to wield a sword, but ever since she started training under me, she had gone almost entirely weaponless—the one exception was a small dagger she carried for self-defense. I personally didn’t care all that much whether or not I was armed at any given time. I...had a feeling the style I’d trained in in my past life wasn’t so strict with form. It was a flexible style that let me adjust depending on my opponent and my circumstances.

There were times I used weapons when I deemed it necessary; that was why I knew how to cut a branch in half with a wooden sword. Though it was definitely easier to do with a knifehand than it was with a weapon.
Anyway, I definitely felt as if Neal and Lynette had both gotten stronger since the last time I had observed their training sessions.

“You’re doing well, brother. I can see your improvement,” I complimented.
“You really love acting like you’re older than me, don’t you?”
I couldn’t help it! I technically was older if you included my past life, and I was more skilled at martial arts.
The sight of our home’s garden in the summer hadn’t changed much from when I was still using a wheelchair to get around. It was almost nostalgic. But there was one thing that had most certainly changed.
“Young Mistress Nia, may I request a training session with you?”
Lynette had begun requesting that I train her.

“Wait, Lynette, me first.”
As had Neal.
I really did not expect them to ask me directly to guide them.
“Lynokis, spar with them, would you?” I told her. It was the student’s job to take the first challenge, after all. While she did so, it gave me the opportunity to point out where they needed to improve.
“Try narrowing the length of your step when you go to strike. If your opponent is unarmed, make use of the reach of your weapon. Aiming for just the tip of the sword to strike can be enough.”
Just how much stronger would Neal and Lynette become? A secret new reason for me to look forward to my summer vacation had revealed itself.
