Ligh

Well, since he is so eager to explore the surrounding area and I have some time, why not take a stroll with him?

Occasionally, we would see some people working in the garden. There is no surprise that such a place needs a lot of maintenance as I can smell a nice sweety fragrance from flowers nearby.

Because of the high sun in the sky, we took a break and sat on a bench under the shade of a tree to protect ourselves from the scorching sunlight.

How are those employees able to work under this horrible condition?

Ariel and I won't even dare to go out without suncream for fear of sun damage on our faces. I doubt those people can afford such an item with their income.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A little girl with long blond hair stood in front of me. Unmatching her beautiful face, her frown, and tone of voice displayed a fierce and powerful aura I've never seen before. Wolfy only glanced at her for a second before continuing his nap.

Despite her rudeness, I conserved a neutral expression like always. "My name is Levi and I am here to meet someone."

Taking out a wooden sword, she said, "Good timing, I was also looking for someone. Be glad that you can be my fighting partner!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have time for this—"

"I never take no for an answer!"

Only a spoiled kid would say such a thing, not that I am any different so I can't judge her for that...

Her powerful strike almost crushed my wooden sword in half.

Does she want to annihilate me...?

They say not to judge a book by its cover but the harsh aura around her perfectly matches her demeanor.

By regularly practicing with my sister, I could at least defend myself at the cost of giving everything I have. Losing to someone else around my age other than Ariel would shame me as I cannot stand being inferior to others.

Although her skill is excellent, she cannot compete with my talented older sister. As long as she is not the same age as Ariel...

When you're having fun, time seems to flies away as if it doesn't want you to enjoy the moment. Without ourselves knowing, it was already time for lunch.

At the end of the battle, both of us were drenched with sweat from head to toe.

"Aaaah...I can't do it anymore," I let out while putting my hands on my knees.

Fortunately, she didn't use magic on me as I would have lost long ago, but it wouldn't have been a fair duel.

Fynn came walking towards us with a woman at his side that looked similar to the girl in front of me.

"Ligh, you have done it again..." Fynn sighed. "I hope she hasn't scared you away, Levi. My daughter can be quite violent sometimes but you will find that she is a kind person. Also, the woman here is my wife, Eloria, she has the same authority as me so you can talk to her when I am not available."

"It's nice to see you, Levi. The rumor about you is indeed true. The Xanthos family is blessed to have such a handsome boy," Eloria commented.

"I appreciate your compliment." As always when someone praises my family, there is a happy smile on my face.

Before eating lunch with everyone, Ligh and I had to take a bath.

At first, I had some hesitation for fear that she will attack me again but since the end of our fight, she seemed to have calmed down her chaotic demeanor...

"Can I ask you a question?" Seeing that she is now staring at me, I continued, "I was wondering why you like fighting so much..."

Just by observing her behavior, she doesn't seem to have many friends or even anyone. Her intimidating aura must have scared most kids away.

While continuing to wash herself, Ligh answered, "It allows me to move my body and spend all my energy. If I don't do it, I will get uncomfortable."

A need for constant movement, aggressive behavior, and an anxious feeling...

According to the memory of my past life, these are the symptoms of hyperactivity. Although I wasn't a doctor, I studied medicine a little.

No wonder she enjoys it so much...

Now that the cause of her strange behavior isn't a mystery anymore, she seems like quite a nice person...
