Love Letter From The Future

1. The First Letter (65)

A silver flash split the moment and drove. The hatchet in my hand drew a ruthlessly simple and ignorant trajectory. It was to make the most of the advantage of surprise.

Senior Olmar looked a bit perplexed. Still, his response was quick.

A flying hatchet was clutched in his hand. And the thrilling downward slash, although it took less force because the altitude was not secured enough, but it was as fast as it was.

It was the best way to block my already fired blow. Grabbing the weapon closest to my hatchet.

Bang, there was an explosion. It was a terrifying collision. Senior Elsie, who was standing next to me, couldn’t keep her mouth shut in embarrassment.

Her blue sapphire eyes stared blankly at me. Her gaze was asking me.

Are you crazy?

However, when it came to competing with hatchet skills, this was the only answer. To be honest, juggling with hatchets is such a show of skill.

Senior Olmar boasted a strong body that deserved those strong muscles. No matter how much it was, it was a blow that was fired as if it were being fired, but there was not much movement. This meant that the damage was not great.

As expected, the amount of mana was inferior to me. Then there was only one answer. Aiming for surprise in the short term somehow.

Coincidentally, Olmar was in a situation where he couldn’t come to his senses. I unleashed a series of blows as if I was being blown away.

Kang, Kang, Kang! The sound of metal clashing, the splashing of sparks, it all sharpened my senses. Several rounds of fighting soon ended. It was because Olmar’s second ax was in his hand.

The second ax that seemed to join as it was natural, I dodged it with a sneaky step backwards.

“Huh,” a sharp piercing sound dug into my ear. The aftermath alone made the conversation go cold. If I allowed the blow properly, I would be the one rolling on the ground.

Senior Olmar took the initiative again. Another ax when you take a step, and another ax when you dodge or parry it.

A very short time had passed, but the composition had already changed. If I take a backward step, Olmar-senpai will step forward. The chains of the ax hit me like pouring rain.

I wasn’t the one who was going through this. I used the back foot as a stepping foot and twisted my ankle to create momentum.

and shoot

It wasn’t the hatchet, but my body, searching for the gap where Olmar senior’s attack continued, the very subtle loophole. Before I knew it, my new model was right up close to my senior.

It was a body that boasted a height of over 2m. Of course, his arms were long, and he was at a disadvantage if he dug in. Don’t you have any means to hit me right now?

However, senior Olmar was indeed a skilled mercenary. He hastily retrieved the hatchet he was about to wield and took a step back.

Then I took another step through that gap, and Olmar took another step. Every time my hatchet was swung, Older Olmar’s hatchet narrowly blocked me. With every step he took, the steel clattered and the axe’s hilt hummed.

It was like dancing. It would have been nice if the opponent wasn’t a muscular man with a shaved head.

But I couldn’t help it. Because life was a path that had to be walked while enduring the five desires. Even so, if the shame was to share a dance-like workshop with the man, I wanted to decline.

Step by step, my body, which had been digging into Olmar’s space, suddenly stepped back. Unsurprisingly, Olmar, thinking that I was approaching, took a step backwards, and so the relationship between me and him increased.

I take a step and throw a hatchet at Olmar, who tries to get closer to me.

It was terrifying speed. Even if it’s not that, it’s close range, but because there is a ready posture for throwing, senior Olmar had enough time to respond. My hand searched for the sword as he hammered the hatchet.

That was it. In terms of range, the sword was superior to the hatchet. Older Olmar paused, stepping back, then paused once more as he slashed my hatchet.

I couldn’t accelerate, and even if I didn’t, there was no room for me to narrow the distance even more.

The blade came to a standstill. It was in front of Olmar’s tight forearm muscles.

I couldn’t bear to aim for the heart or the uvula. If that was the case, it would have been a complete victory, but senior Olmar never gave up on that core. It meant that my skills were not yet at the level of digging into it.

In just a few minutes, in that short time, countless workshops came and went. Silence fell around me before I knew it, and I could feel the eyes staring at me and Olmar in a daze.

It didn’t matter. After all, the only thing that mattered was the opponent in front of me.

I looked at Olmar without saying a word, and a moment of conflict flashed in his eyes as he cut off my hatchet and planned a counterattack.

He seemed to be contemplating whether or not to wield the hatchet with such strength. However, in the yard with so many eyes, even before the hunting festival, he did not want to waste more energy.

Soon, a heavy sigh escaped Olmar’s mouth.

“… … Your skill at measuring the distance is not normal.”

“I am confident in my foot skills.”

“It’s not just foot talent, the ability to read space is very good. Have you studied anything related to it?”

Studying, if that’s the case, I’ve been listening to topology lately.

I wanted to throw a nonsensical joke like that, but it was too uninteresting, so I put it on hold. Among the warriors, ‘study’ was synonymous with training. Have you ever practiced reading space?

There was no way he could have taught himself such advanced skills without a teacher. However, there was no need to give the enemy a lot of information, so I remained silent.

As if he knew that, Olmar nodded heavily. Then, slowly, he put down the hatchet. His tightly swollen muscles lost their volume.

I let out a sigh of relief and drew the knife. My head was bowed down. It was a well-deserved courtesy towards seniors.

“Thank you for teaching me a few things.”

“I didn’t mean to, but you’re a very reckless friend…” … .”

Older Olmar’s reaction was unnerving. It seemed that he hadn’t really thought about competing with an axe.

I didn’t understand. So, did you really mean to do a trick or something?

I felt a bit puzzled, but before I could say the question out of my mouth, someone gave Olmar a hard slap on the back.

Pak, and a sound resounded like sandbags being hit. I could tell just by hearing the sound. It wouldn’t hurt at all.

As expected, senior Olmar only creaked and turned his head as if a stone statue were moving. Behind him, a woman with sky-blue hair was giggling. A woman with a lollipop in her mouth.

She was a lively looking woman. She has a slim body and a pretty appearance. It seemed to be popular wherever it went. She was probably one of Delphine’s members.

“Olmar, what if I get beaten up! Because of you, the initiative failed.”

“No, I just wanted to talk about the possibilities of the hatchet… … .”

Senior Olmar looked very unfair, but the woman didn’t even pretend to listen. She continued to pat and giggle on Olmar’s hard body.

Beside him, a skinny man stood. It wasn’t obvious, but the muscles were quite developed. Just looking at the scabbard around her waist, the swordsman was right. But for some reason, he was a man with a peculiar face.

“Isia, Olmar. It is time to go.”

“I get it, I get it. Mr Fermin. Can we go right now? ah!”

The woman called ‘Aisia’ approached me with a gun. As I looked at her with a curious look, she suddenly pulled a lollipop out of her mouth.

And hey, he breathed into me. A sweet scent spread, but more than that, the wind was cold. Embarrassed, I stepped back and shook my head.

The chill in my breath penetrated my body at once. It was to the point where I thought it was freezing cold. Is it plural? Right before my hand goes to my waist again.

Aisia-senpai winked in one eye.

“This is the prize for beating Olmar. how is it? When your body gets cold, your fatigue is relieved, right?”

When I heard that, I saw it. Suddenly, my body felt lighter. I looked at Aisia-senpai with bewildered eyes, but she just laughed and giggled.

“The detailed principle is a secret. Then, see you later.”

“… … Goodbye.”

Aishia-senpai and the skinny man called ‘Fermin’ left like that. Olmar was silent for a moment, then shook his head as if he couldn’t help it.

He looked at me with strong eyes and said.

“… … Next, don’t look at it.”

That was probably Olmar’s last pride. After the three of them left, Celine came belatedly to my side.

But, surprisingly, she didn’t seem to care about me. I thought that she would hear another voice, of course, if she had beaten me up every time she caused a collision.

However, Celine just hit me on the back with a tired expression.

It hurt. Evil, a short scream escaped from my mouth.

“Ian oppa, you really are a ‘crazy dog’… … .”

“What am I?”

I turned my gaze to Seria as if it was unfair, but Seria avoided my gaze without saying anything. It meant that she had nothing to say.

How could this be, how did you treat a public servant who succeeded in overpowering Delphine’s teammates for the first time?

Is there really no one who can understand this strategic value? My eyes turned to Elsie-senpai, the last one left. And that senior Elsie,

“Huh, huh… sa, please save me Everything, I won’t mess around again… Heck, heh, I’ll pee Elsie… … .”

Perhaps because of the shock of seeing the hatchet, he was squatting like that and trembling. I don’t know if I’m going to sit down in front of the magic beast like this.

A sigh escaped from my mouth with a heavy heart. In the end, senior Elsie was able to calm down only after I stroked her hair for a while.

Even after that, Elsie-senpai glanced at me for a while. It was quite scary for me.

According to her, the sight of him pulling out and wielding the hatchet without hesitation made her feel particularly frightened.

I couldn’t understand it, but I decided to try to appease her. The beginning was an insignificant story.

“Come to think of it, senior Elsie.”

“Yes, yes! Oh no… Yes?”

Perhaps because she was still very nervous, Elsie gave a loyal answer as if to prove her loyalty, but immediately withdrew it. Neither I, Celine, or Seria deliberately pointed this out.

It was to protect Elsie-senpai’s little remaining pride. Celine and Seria pretended not to see me and Elsie-senpai and devoted themselves to personal maintenance.

“Olmar said he wanted to talk about the ‘potential of the hatchet’. Do you know anything?”

“Ahhh! That, that’s it!”

I felt my anticipation rise when Elsie seemed to know something unexpectedly. Senior Olmar was a master with a hatchet longer than I had, and of course he would have invested the time and effort he deserved.

What if you could handle the hatchet in more ways than you can now? Even though it is a secondary weapon, the hatchet is now one of my favorite soldiers. Of course, I couldn’t help but be interested.

However, senior Elsie’s answer was beyond my expectations in many ways.

“Actually, Olmar was a commoner, but did your father say he was a circus clown? So I heard you’re practicing tricks with a hatchet. Someday, I want to help my father’s circus, but anyway, commoners. tsk… I heard you joined the club… … .”

When I heard that answer, I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

Olmar seemed to just want to show me tricks with a hatchet and get some advice. How can I do better stunts with a hatchet?

It was a misunderstanding that occurred because there were only a handful of hand ax experts. I had no choice but to apologize to Olmar-senpai in my heart.

I’m sorry, Olmar. But my father will be happy no matter what Olmar does.

While Elsie and I were exchanging a few words, Celine suddenly asked me.

“By the way, oppa Ian, how much drinking water should I bring?”

“A lot of.”

Of course, the answer did not come from me. It was because Elsie-senpai, who had more practical experience than me, was next to me.

Her tone was very firm. Now he looks a bit like a senior.

“I don’t know what will happen. Even if your body is a little heavy, you should pack drinking water, because in case of emergency, you can just throw it away and run away. In the first place, even if you release the demon beast in this vast forest, how long will it take before you find it?”

It was as it was said. The forest to the south was vast, and among them, I took only one monster. It was clear that it would take a long time to search for it.

Of course, the team members were still unaware of the danger, but I hoped that their mindsets would change even a little since I had repeatedly warned them.

I stroked Elsie-senpai’s head. Then Elsie-senpai’s eyes immediately became hazy.

“Good job, Elsie. It’s been a while since you’ve been like a senior?”

“Hehehe… Originally, I am like this!”

It was fortunate that Elsie was included in the group. While smiling wryly, I prepared to go out.

All that was left was a decisive battle.

**

“… … So you forgot your water bottle?”

Three hours after I entered the forest with the spectacular opening announcement, Elsie stood in front of me, hesitant. Her face was red with shame.

Celine’s eyes were dumbfounded, and Seria let out a deep sigh.

“Oh, it can’t be helped! Yes, since you keep threatening me with that, cow, hatchet, I’m losing my mind!”

Elsie-senpai raised her voice as if everything was my fault, but it didn’t work.

Once we entered the forest, it was as if we had entered a real battle. There was no excuse for a lack of preparation in the actual battle, no matter how wrong it was. It was something Professor Derek also emphasized while training us.

I shook my head and said.

“Then drink your urine.”

“Because I’m not a peeer! Hey you. No matter what, I’m a senior… … .”

Elsie-senpai clenched her fists in a huff, but as soon as I removed the cloak and showed her her waist, she immediately took a deep breath.

My eyes went cold as I looked at her. I asked in a chilled voice.

“Can I help you with the hatchet?”

“Hey! Now, now, I was wrong… Come on, I won’t fuss. Please, please save me!”

I looked at Elsie-senpai with a puzzled expression for a while, but there was no way. I silently handed over a canteen I had brought with me.

Elsie-senpai, who was trembling and clutching at his conical hat, stared blankly at the canteen held out in front of him.

“sleep.”

“… … Yes. thank you.”

Meanwhile, senior Elsie blushed as if she was embarrassed about something. She glanced over and looked into my eyes. But I didn’t pay attention to Elsie-senpai anymore.

Instead, when I got up, I suddenly felt a fine line engulfing my senses.

yes, line. Can we call it good? It was as if a thread from my nerves was being pulled taut and calling me.

The next moment, a strange scent passed my nose.

Corrupt. and the smell of iron. There was only one liquid in the world that smelled like this.

“… … Senior Elsie.”

“Yes? Why, why?”

Elsie-senpai wiggled her fingers and asked me. That figure was so cute, but right now my mind was all over the place.

“Are you on your period?”

At those words, Elsie-senpai’s eyes widened. It was the same with Celine and Seria. Such a rude question, I wouldn’t have asked it if it was me.

But for now, I had no choice but to ask questions as I spit them out. Elsie-senpai’s face turned red, and she couldn’t stand it any longer and shouted.

“… … Hey, you crazy bastard!”

It must mean no, I interpreted the cry arbitrarily and turned the question around.

“Celine and Seria?”

Celine’s eyes were astounding, and Seria suddenly blushed and bowed her head.

Celine asked me, huh, with a mischievous smile.

“Ian oppa, is your hair okay?”

“Seria?”

However, despite repeated criticism, my questions were even persistent. Seria hesitated and couldn’t answer, but eventually opened her mouth with even her ears turning red.

It was more like a barely leaking sound than words. such a small sound.

“… … Oh, no, uh… no.”

That’s right, I muttered blankly.

It was only then that Celine, realizing that I was different from usual, gave me a curious look. I was thinking of answering that question anyway.

“Then prepare, because I found it.”

I fervently hoped that this smell wasn’t just the smell of human blood, and I spit it out.

The prey is in front of me. No, maybe a hunter.
