CHAPTER 17: SKILL 'KENMA' (MEANS TO POLISH/GRIND)

The barber polar bear...not I mean the handsome hair stylist's will be teaching his 'asymmetric cut'. In order to have that sort of fresh style, you need a tool, and that is a wooden stick. It has a very sharp tip, giving you a novel feeling. 

Losing the other side of his hair, from a blonde kappa (bobbed cut) he turned into a blonde asymmetric (ashimeni), with a low voice, Hurst-san told him the process of the procedure. 

"Would you be returning to your job?"

"hi, hi yaaai!"

The pale, frozen blonde ashimeni, screamed upon hearing those words and while in a flustered state left the premise.

Un. It's a convenient way to respond, right? 'hi fu e ho' and it seemed like you are exclusively using the word 'hiii'

"Isarai-sama"

While I was looking at his retreating back, Hurst-san, who was looking at me, called my name and slowly came towards me.

The blizzard now was gone, as if to match me, who was looking down, he bent one knee and said "I'm truly sorry for letting you experience something bad"

"No, no. I'm not really bothered about it."

That's right, maybe it's because even he calls me names like country bumpkin of a fallen noble lady or something it doesn't really hit me, so I don't really get annoyed by it and about those delayed reactions, I'm like sure-fire it away, or so I think,

Being yelled at, sticking around was indeed annoying though but since Hurst-san has properly given him a haircut, I don't really mind him much. A, do your best at work.

"... ... Did you perhaps meet the Saint?"

"A, that one huh."

Seeing a little change on Hurst-san's expression as his eyebrows seem to have fallen for a bit, I know that he is worried about me. 

It seems like, someone has already told Hurst-san of what happened at the back garden 

... ...Well, speaking of which, Wasn't Hurst-san supposed to be on a break?

"Umm...could it be that because of me, you were not able to have a break?"

If that's the case then I'm really sorry. I should be the one apologizing and when I looked over at Hurst-san, he shook his head.

"No, the truth is today, I am assigned in the palace."

"e"

"Of course, I plan to follow through the discussion I had with Isarai-sama, since I know if I'm always around you won't be able to take a breather."

It's just that... ...Hurst-san didn't look at me.

"And if something happens I make that I'll soon be there," 

Un, he was indeed fast. 

Since it was just right after when the thing happened with the Saint.

"... ...So this means, that you haven't taken a rest?"

"... ...That's right"

In front of the herb garden, while kneeling with one knee, Hurst-san looked like he was in pain, thinking that he's about to be punished. 

Someone who can stab a wooden stick right into a stone, some this strong... ...

"You should properly rest"

"... ...yes"

"It wasn't like I didn't want to be with Hurst-san. It's just that I want Hurst-san to have a break"

With those blue eyes of him peeking over here, I couldn't help but smile.

"I just want you to be healthy"

It seems like, thinking that I didn't like being with Hurst-san, so using the excuse of taking a rest, he seems to have been protecting me from afar.

That's why on days where I don't have an escort, he wasn't really resting.

"Being with you is fun and besides Hurst-san is too strong"

Looking over the wooden stick stabbed right into the rock, is just unbelievable to the point that I find it funny.

"So that's how it is"

"You're amazing! It's not like you ate the dish I cooked meaning this time I was able to see Hurst-san real strength." 

And due to my words, somehow Hurst-san's eyes started to move around (swim around)

Seeing him that gallant, to be able to thrust a wooden stick into a wall of rock and not because of the dish I made. 

We tried all sorts of things and it seems like if you eat my dish, you'll get a power-up for half-a-day and it's not like the more you eat, the more stronger you'll be.

And the amount of power-up is the same no matter how much you eat it and it's been half a day since he last ate my dish. Since today is the day where I don't have an escort, we didn't have breakfast together. 

That's why the last time he ate my dish was last night. In short, this is all because of Hurst-san's ability and not because of my dish.

"This wooden stick sure is sharp, so this sort of weapon is used here."

"No, that is actually my skill."

"Hurst-san's skill?"

The Hurst-san who got flustered because of my words has once again looked at me properly and then a piece of rock seems to have fallen on top of the ground and he took it and placed it over his hand, for me to see it. 

And then that rock started to shine a bit ――

"Oh~"

The once roughed rock, in a blink of an eye, became a sharp and when the light was gone, On top of Hurst-san's palm is an arrowhead made of stone.

"This is my skill, 'Grinding/Polishing' "

"Amazing... ... "Polishing", which means you can make sharp things and the like?"

"Yes. The base for the materials doesn't change much. Not only, can I make all sorts of sharp things but I can also alter its shape. And that is my skill"

While saying that, he took another piece of stone and then it lit up and this time it turned into a round ball.

"Wow! It seems like you can apply that skill in different ways"

"At first, I thought it wasn't a good skill, but because of this, it is very convenient" With Hurst-san's words, I nodded in agreement. 

That's right, Hurst-san who came from the north and was from a group of knights who faces the demon beasts and might have done of polishing of weapons back then.

I'm sure a lot of people were helped because of it.

"Since human beasts have a lot more of grease compared to humans, the blade gets damaged and it'd be hard to cut them that why with skill, even if many of their attacks or the blade gets damaged but for me to just be able to cut the enemy in front of me"

... ...un?

"In cases where a sword breaks, as long as I have wood of stick or bones, I can make a lot of weapons. So if I can't remove a weapon I had stabbed into the beast, I can change my weapons, using corpse also works and it's really handy"

... ... What is that? Scary!

What I thought was wrong. The very application is different.

"The truth is I wanted a skill related to the body, so I really couldn't help it"

"e... e..."

Hurst-san said is so easily, that I couldn't believe it.

... ...No... well, I know you do have it. Somehow, I feel like he used that skill in the middle of a bout. I'm sure he has it! I just know it.

"Umm...about the sensing presence thing? Superhuman strength, blizzard or the ability to free someone, you have it don't you!"

"No?"

"... ...Um, even if you have raised the wooden stick to the maximum,  I don't think it's normal to be able to stab it right through rock or something."

It's just scientifically impossible and an enemy against the laws of the world.

"Yes, that's right. I think it was all because of the training that I've done"

"trai--ning?"

I see. I didn't know that as long as you train you can stab a wooden sword right through a rock. I see. Un...I didn't know"

"And it seems like if I eat Isarai-sama's dish, my skill seems to have a mysterious effect, Just like the day when I cut the knights guard, I didn't use my skill but I was able to cut it properly."

"I see"

Cutting blonde ashime's heirloom sword with a wooden sword was because of my dish but it turns out it's not like that and that there's a relation to his skill. It's not like they activated their skill just like that but it's not like the object became sharp. .. ... ...I wonder if it's that, that ki/aura thing.

"I understand", I replied to Hurst-san, though I have some things I don't understand. 

Are the people of this country strong? Hurst-san is just way too strong? 

After watching the expression of the blonde ashime, Hurst-san is definitely strong and after hearing about Hurst-san's power I thought of something... ...

"Um...if this wouldn't be troublesome... ..."

His blue eyes kept on staring at me.

"Have you tried making a knife?"

Somehow I feel like something amazing will be made
