Liza had potential

---

Aside from fighting two orcs, Mr. Ekenhart was also thinking about making me fight as a pair.
With someone else… I had never done that before, so I didn’t know how it would go.
Well, at least it would be with Phillip. I was relieved, as I knew that he was capable.
At the very least, it should be better than fighting on my own… I just needed to make sure that I wasn’t getting in his way.

“Next is Tilura and Sherry… Tilura needs more time to get used to fighting alone. She was a little nervous today, and made some mistakes. If possible, it would be best if she had some tricks in order to buy time when against multiple enemies, but… Right now, I want to focus on more surer things.”
“Indeed. There may be situations where there are no guards around. So it would be best for her to have something that would allow her to get away… But there is no rush.”
“Yes. Due to our position, we cannot be sure that someone wouldn’t target Tilura or me. Perhaps I should be able to do something as well, regardless, I do want Tilura to be able to defend herself.”
“Claire… Well, it can’t be helped.”
“…Father, you do not need to remember it.”
“Ye-yes.”
“…?”

Tilura needed more experience fighting one against one.
Still, Ms. Claire seemed to be quietly applying pressure to Mr. Ekenhart.

Was there something I didn’t know…?
It seemed like there was a suggestion that she was not suited to fighting.
Perhaps she was just not very athletic?

“…Nevermind Claire. Tilura can go slowly and take her time. She has just started, after all.”
“Yes, there is no rush.”
“Indeed. She is still growing. And eventually, she will need a new sword, which will match Mr. Takumi’s.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”

Perhaps she might even wield a greatsword… A sword that even adults would have trouble holding… The idea of Tilura swinging such a blade… I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see it or not…
In any case, they did not need to teach her everything at once, and they could take their time.

“So…as for Sherry. That is up to Leo, so it’s fine. Besides, with magic, she should be able to face multiple orcs without any issue.”
“If what Leo says is true, then there is almost no chance that Sherry will be injured by orcs… And I feel like it was confirmed during today’s battle.”
“Mmm. I am not worried about Sherry. The real problem is…”
“…Liza.”

Liza, who had been the last one to fight today.
I could feel everyone turn to me, but I didn’t know what to do.

“She certainly knows how to handle a weapon… It was impressive, since she had no real training. Well, I suppose her grandfather might have taught her something…”
“He probably taught her how to hold a knife. After all, they were living in the slums. But I don’t know if he taught her to hunt orcs…”
“Indeed. As Mr. Takumi says, it’s unlikely that she was taught that extensively… So I suppose it is a natural talent?”
“I’m sure that is the case. Even ignoring that she is a beastkin, to do that much at her age… If all beastkin were as capable, then they would have done much better in the war.”

As long as you lived in the slums, you would surely need some survival skills… Well, it was just my imagination.
However, since they moved around a lot, it would surely be necessary to have some knowledge like that.
Besides, Ms. Isabelle had said that Mr. Reyndorf used to be a wanderer. So he would have quite a lot of knowledge about such things.
But since she was still a child, he probably didn’t teach her that much, as it was unlikely that she would have to fight.
