The Origin Of The Athletic Ability
「This two-part is ski, while this long and oval-shaped board is a snowboard」
Taking the ski and snowboard from my room, I showed them Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan.
「……you already asked Elman to make it」
「I made them with Earth magic at the start but attaching and detaching them is a hassle」
「This kid, his ability to take action at such a time is unnecessarily high」
Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan are shocked to see the finished items already made by a pro carpenter.
I would have been satisfied with the Earth magic-based ski and snowboard if Eleonora-neesan and Torr and the others didn’t get hooked into them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「So you put both of your feet on these boards and slide?」
「The boards are slightly bent are they not? Does it make it easier to slide on the snow?」
「What, what happened? Could it be that tousan and kaasan want to ski too?」
Eleonora-neesan entered the living room just at that moment, but then looked at the two being impressed with the ski and snowboard and threw a straight ball at them.
「I have to check what kind of product Al made as the lord」
「Hmmー, wouldn’t it be faster if you tried it in practice?」
「That’s true. Let’s try it outside for a bit」
Elna-kaasan says, taking advantage of what Eleonora-neesan was saying.
Eleonora-neesan isn’t particularly good at reading the air, but it seems like there are times when she could strangely get on well with Elna-kaasan. Is this the bond between a mother and her daughter?
So I grabbed the boards and went outside since they immediately decided to try it outside.
「Can I also try it?」
「Un, sure」
Although he wasn’t included in the conversation, he’s also probably interested in what kind of game this ‘sliding’ is
There’s no reason to leave out only Sylvio-niisan when we go outside so we put on our winter clothes and go outside together.
There was still snow piled up on the ground in the courtyard and the cold wind was blowing outside.
「As expected, it’s cold outside」
「But Elna-kaasan and everyone are still fine」
Different from me and Sylvio-niisan who hunched our shoulders due to the cold, Elna-kaasan, Nord-tousan, and Eleonora-neesan were still lively.
「There are few entertainments for winter so they are looking forward to the game Al came up with」
「There are all sorts of games to be played indoors, but I guess they also want a game where I can move my body」
There are various games like reversi, jenga, kendama, or game of life, but it seems like people are weak to new things. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「You put your feet here and fix them in place with the belt to secure them」
「Ara? My feet can not fit in」
Eleonora-neesan was teaching them how to fit their feet onto the ski board, but it was impossible to equip them using kid-sized ski boards.
It would be nice if we could adjust the width of the bindings like the ones in my previous life, but we still haven’t reached such advanced boards.
「That’s because these are made for me and Eleonora-neesan. But, Sylvio-niisan may fit with Eleonora-neesan’s boards since their feet sizes are the same size」
「Me?」
I called Sylvio-niisan to try them on and it was a perfect fit.
「I don’t use ski that much so you can have them」
「U, un, thank you」
I guess he was not planning on trying it. Sylvio-niisan nods despite being baffled.
「Maybe it will be better if I use Earth magic to make some for Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan to try. Ski or snowboard, which would you like to try?」
「Skiing is easier and simple」
「……I’m nervous about riding on a board so I will follow Eleonora's suggestion and use a ski」
「I will also use ski like Elna」
I made skis with Earth magic since the two of them wanted to use skis. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Place your feet slightly to the back of the boards. I will secure them there」
Adjusting them while looking at Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan’s feet, I secure their feet with Earth magic by wrapping them like a belt. Then, I also make the ski poles and give them to them.
「You’re so skillful as always」
「It feels like my feet and the board are integrated」
The two of them lift their legs and stamp the ground on the spot.
It’s cute like looking at baby penguins.
「I’ll create a slope for sliding」
I use Ice magic as usual and create a small slope in the courtyard.
「I do not feel like retorting anything if you do something like this just for playing」
「I agree」
I feel like Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan are somewhat taken aback.
But, magic is used to make life easier. I might be considered exaggerated by doing this just for playing, but you’ve got to use whatever possible without hesitation. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「We are going to slide down that slope, but first I will teach you how to brake. It’s dangerous if you don’t stop after all」
So I teach Elna-kaasan, Nord-tousan, and Sylvio-niisan how to brake.
I have gotten used to explaining it since I thoroughly taught how to do it to the children.
I feel like I could become a ski or snowboard instructor right now.
After I taught them how to do it, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan showed great athletic ability as they slid down the slope while braking.
It makes me wonder about the hardship I’ve felt teaching the children today. Oh well, the two of them were active adventurers so I guess it’s natural since they understand swordsmanship and taijutsu.
「It is easier than I thought」
「Is it okay to slide so easily? I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have Nord-tousan to support you, though?」
When I whispered that to Elna-kaasan - who was sliding down and looking confident -, her expression suddenly changed.
「Nord. I’m a little scared, can you stay by my side?」
「Okay. I will slide behind you so let us slide down slowly」
Nord-tousan, is he used to doing that kind of thing? Is he actually an instructor?
I’m a little worried, but Nord-tousan skillfully glides backward with ease while braking.
「Elna, come」
「Yes」
Elna-kaasan also starts gliding down and they slide down as if facing each other.
There would be a great disaster if they made one wrong move, but there’s no way for the two of them - with their great athletic ability - to fall into such a situation.
They are just enjoying the situation with each other. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And then, the two of them glided down closely and lightly hugged each other at the end.
I was the one who encouraged it, but it made me embarrassed to see both of my parents flirting in front of my eyes like this.
I averted my eyes since I felt like I was going to have heartburn, and I saw Sylvio-niisan and Eleonora-neesan sliding.
「Uwaaa! It’s faster than I think!」
「Sylvio, you need to put some strength into your legs like *guu* over there!」
「*guu* you say, where should I put them!?」
Not understanding Eleonora-neesan’s instruction, Sylvio-niisan ends up accelerating and tumbling to the snow. I’ve taught him how to fall safely and he also learned it in our sword practice so it won’t be a problem, but it is still dangerous.
In the opposite direction, Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan - who were physically drawn to each other, -, began to glide leisurely while turning.
Even though I haven’t taught them how to turn, it looks like they have found a way to turn by themselves.
I guess there’s no need to be here anymore.
I feel like I’ve witnessed the origin of Eleonora-neesan’s monster-like sense.
「This skiing game, it’s quite fun」
「This is going to make moving around convenient even when snow piled up on the ground and it is also good for winter exercise」
「Say, shall we also ask for Elman to make our boards?」
「That’s right. I also feel sorry to have Al make it every time with his magic」
They also took a liking to skiing.
I thought it was going to be like this ever since I revealed and showed it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
