The Tiger's Three Forbidden Acts

 As I was walking down the hallway of the mansion, Eleonora-neesan came out from the study room.

 Her face looked so listless and she seemed somewhat irritated. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Ever since the Gravity event was discovered, Eleonora-neesan was forced to study magic almost every day.

 She never used her head that much until now and now that she does, she probably accumulates fatigue and stress.

 The sisters in my previous life who were being overwhelmed studying for a test also gave the same feeling as this.

 And it’s been said since ancient times that if you get close to women who are in a bad mood you will have a bad experience.

 I was thinking of getting some fruit juice from the kitchen but my own safety is more important.

 The moment I thought of turning back, my eyes met with Eleonora-neesan’s.

 At that moment, I abruptly turned around and dashed away.

 Immediately after, Eleonora-neesan also comes dashing toward me.

 Eleonora-neesan’s physical abilities are outrageous as even though there was a distance between us, I was knocked down in the blink of an eye.

 Eleonora-neesan sits down on my back.

「Waa! Wha, what !?」

「Nothing really, but Al ran away so I just kinda chased you」

「Are you a tiger.....」

 Don’t look at its eyes. Since it will think you are threatening.

 Don’t show your back. Since it has a habit of attacking people who show their backs.

 Don’t run. Cause they will get excited and chase after you.

 

Now that I think about it, I think I’ve done all three main acts forbidden to do when you face a tiger.

 It makes sense that the fierce beast - Eleonora-neesan - pounced on me.

「Can you move away for now? It’s heav――fugh!?」

「What?」

「……it’s nothing」

 I was gonna say ‘move away, you’re heavy’ but her knee ground against my back.

 It’s so unreasonable, even though I was just stating a reasonable opinion.

「You two, what are you doing in a place like that?」

 It’s probably because there were loud noises in the hallway. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Elna-kaasan came out from the study room with teaching materials in her hand.

「I didn’t do anything but Eleonora-neesan knocked me down like this. She’s venting on me」

「I chased after Al since I saw him running away after seeing me」

「Are you a bear?」

 Hearing Eleonora-neesan’s excuse, Elna-kaasan also unconsciously blurted out such a comment. 

「……Eleonora, do you hate magic class?」

 Seeing Eleonora-neesan’s looking sullen, Elna-kaasan asks her.

 Elna-kaasan probably wants Eleonora-neesan to be more enthusiastic about studying magic.

「It’s not that I hate it, it’s just difficult. You have to think of a lot of things, unlike swordsmanship」

 Err, I think using a sword also needs you to use your head, but that seems to be the case for me and Sylvio-niisan.

 From an intuitive person like Eleonora-neesan’s perspective, she can do it almost without thinking.

 The so-called talent is terrifying.

「But, if don’t know about magic you will fall behind in battle, you know?」

「I will deal with that when the time comes 」

「Hmーm, it’s a problem since you have the ability to do that」

 Maybe it’s because she has been excelling in swordsmanship ever since she was little that she has the confidence to overpower her opponent.

 In fact, Eleonora-neesan will certainly be able to knock down most magicians before they are able to use their magic.

 So it may be difficult for such a girl to understand the frightening aspect of magic.

「……Al, can I ask you to have a magic spar with Eleonora?」

「Eeehhh!? Isn’t this supposed to be the time when Elna-kaasan gives me a hand !?」

 I sensed that kind of atmosphere somehow, but I never thought she would ask me.

「I can also do it, but then Eleonora may not be convinced, right?」

「Well, that’s true but......」

 Certainly, rather than losing to a former A-rank adventurer like Elna-kaasan, it might be better to stimulate her with a hard battle with me or lose to me, which is from the same generation.

 Nevertheless, I don’t want to have such a serious spar with Eleonora-neesan.

「A magic spar with Al……!」

 Perhaps she listens to our conversation as Eleonora-neesan stands up and gets excited.

 Making a sudden transformation from her previous sullen expression, she actually seems to be in a good mood.

 That may be fine since Eleonora-neesan is a battle maniac, but not me.

 Why do I have to do such a troublesome thing?

 Just when I thought like that, Elna-kaasan whispered something into my ear.

「……if Al can defeat Eleonora, then she should be quiet for a while」

「Ehー? Is that so?」

「Yes, I guarantee it. Because I’m sure she will study really hard during winter」

 I don’t understand it, but it seems like Elna-kaasan has such a vision.

 Could it be that losing to me will frustrate her that much? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 It’s a hassle to face her in a magic spar, but it might not be a bad thing if she can be quiet just from a single spar.

 The time when she will force me to go along with her self-practice will decrease and I can’t stand being knocked down again due to the stress of studying.

「Then if it’s just once……」

「It’s decided then」

「I will prepare myself!」

 When Elna-kaasan clapped her hands as it was decided, Eleonora-neesan went up to the second floor in delight.

 It’s like she’s very happy to be able to spar.

「Al, if possible……」

「I know. I just need to fight in a way that will make her realize how troublesome magic can be, right?」

「I’m glad you were able to understand quickly. Well then, please take care of her」

●

 As I left the mansion and headed to the courtyard wearing winter clothes, it obviously felt cold.

 There is no snow lying thick on the ground, but even so the wind and cold are still going strong.

 Winter clothes alone are not enough to protect me against cold so I make some fireballs to float around my surroundings.

「……what’s this?」

 Eleonora-neesan - who is wearing practice clothes - gives me a stern look while doing a warm-up exercise.

「It’s cold so they are for warmth」

「Hmーm, oh well it’s better to be warm but you’re really skilfull」

 Eleonora-neesan continues her physical exercise without particularly being concerned.

 She seems to be so happy to be able to move her body around and in a really good mood.

 I’d also be happier if she was also that happy inside the house. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Elna-kaasan, Nord-tousan, and Sylvio-niisan also came to the courtyard, looks like they were here to spectate. If possible I would also like to be on that side, you know.

「Al is not going to warm up first?」

「No, I don’t need it」

「……is that so. Then I won’t be responsible if you get injured or can not move properly, okay?」

 Eleonora-neesan gave me such a warning but unfortunately, I had no plan to move a single step from here.

 I’m just going to stand here and use magic from this position. There’s no need for any warm-up.

「Are you all ready now?」

 Elna-kaasan calls out as Eleonora-neesan finishes her warm-up.

「I can go anytime」

「No problem with me either」

 Eleonora-neesan and I replied, taking a distance of 20 meters between us and facing each other.

 Although a distance of 10 meters is enough, the opponent is Eleonora-neesan so I’m feeling nervous.

 But, today’s spar is a magic spar.

 If it’s using magic, I didn’t think I would lose even if the opponent is Eleonora-neesan.

 Yesterday, Elna-kaasan taught me magic to counter swordsman so it would be interesting to try and use it now.

「……Eleonora, are you really fine like that?」

「Eh? Un. I’m fully prepared」

 Elna-kaasan gave her a final hint, but it seems like Eleonora-neesan doesn’t realize it.

 Seeing Eleonora-neesan doesn’t realize the advice directed to her, Elna-kaasan softly sighed.

「Fine then. Then, start!」

 On hearing the announcement to start again, I unleashed Wind magic without chanting.

「Waa!」

 Eleonora-neesan tried to charge through it with the wooden sword in hand, but she was met with the magic head on and her body was thrown off-balance.

 If I were to shoot up into the sky and shoot magic at her then it would be over with no way to deal with it, but Elna-kaasan order-ed me to teach her the troublesomeness of magic so I can’t do that.

 I need to suppress her by sending her flying from the front on purpose.

 Eleonora-neesan was blown 20 meters away, but she fixed her posture in midair and landed easily.

 Despite having been deprived of her vision, she calmly kicks out the ground and tries to move but is unable to.

「My feet!」

 I had cast magic on the soil at the point of her landing to entangle Eleonora-neesan’s feet. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 The sticky mud also included Water magic in it so it’s not going to be easy to get out of there.

 But if you can perceive the mana or resist the mana, it’s not a technique that you can easily fall into, but Eleonora-neesan - who lacks the skill and knowledge in magic - will not be able to defend against it.

「Something like this!」

 Eleonora-neesan stimulated the mana inside her body.

 She uses Body Strengthening magic to recover and probably going to break it with force.

 I put quite an amount of mana in it so she won’t be able to undo it but just in case, I will prevent her.

「『Gravity』」

 I increase the gravity on Eleonora-neesan’s body many times from the original amount.

 Immediately after that, Eleonora-neesan’s body suddenly stops moving in a half-standing posture.

「Guh, gugigigi……」

 I was planning on making her down on her hands and knees, but it looks like she resists it somehow using her Body Strengthening magic.

 However, she was unable to move even if she just resisted it.

 From the eyes of a magician, an opponent who can’t move anymore is nothing more than a target.

 I leisurely cast Water magic and mix some oil I borrowed from the kitchen.

 Then I fired the mixture of water and oil toward Eleonora-neesan and it hit.

 Eleonora-neesan’s movement didn’t falter or scream as she managed to somehow break her mud restriction and raise the wooden sword in her hand.

 However, just as she raised her sword, the wooden sword slipped out of her hand.

「Eh?」

「I mix in some oil in the water ball. So you won’t be able to hold it if you use too much force holding it」

 This is the swordsman-killing technique I learned from Elna-kaasan.

 The intention behind the technique is to mix the water ball with oil and then shoot it to the opponent, making them unable to grip their weapon.

 If I were to hit someone with this while the sword was in their sheath, the opponent would probably be unable to unsheathe it. I can also freeze it with Ice magic to make sure they can’t.

「Eleonora-neesan, it’s over」

「N, not ye, I……」

「You are not going to insist 『I haven’t lost』 when you get hit by magic one-sidedly like this, right? Besides, if those are not water balls but lethal and powerful spells, you will receive a fatal wound, you know?」

 Eleonora-neesan was about to make some excuses, but then Elna-kaasan told her that in a tone that brooked no argument.

「To begin with, it was over ever since the first move. If you were blown into the sky, then Eleonora would not be able to do anything」

「……I lost」

 And after hearing Nord-tousan’s comment, Eleonora-neesan probably calmed down and admitted her defeat. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
