Father is already eating when we arrive.

He looks at me, and I look at him.

"Good morning, Kyouko. Did you have a good sleep?" Akechi asks.

"Good morning, father. Yes. I slept well. How are you doing?"

"I'm good, Kyouko. How's your training going?"

"I think I'm making good progress, father. I feel like I'm getting stronger. It's not as painful as before."

"I'm glad. You're getting stronger and stronger every day. It's impressive. Keep it up."

"Yes, father. I will."

I sit down to eat with them.

Father looks at my mother.

"Can you teach her Enhancement Magic next? It will be useful for her." Akechi says, looking at mother.

"Enhancement Magic?" I ask.

"It's a type of magic that can enhance your body. It can enhance your strength, speed, durability, and a wide array of other physical attributes. It's mostly for physical improvement." Kitsuna says, turning towards me.

"And why do you think I need it, father?" I ask him.

"There's a special type of sword training I want you to do. It requires you to use a special type of sword. It will help you to be a more well rounded fighter. But there's no way you can use a sword without the proper physical capabilities. This magic will make up for it." Akechi says.

"Oh... I see..."

I eat my breakfast in silence. I think about what my father just told me.

I finish my meal.

"...Father?" I ask.

"Hmm?" Akechi replies, looking at me.

"What kind of training will I need to do?" I ask.

"I'll teach you. It's a special type of training, only for you. I want you to develop your own unique fighting style. I think it'll suit you well. And it will give you a good base to improve your sword skills. I think you'll really like it."

"Okay, I'll do my best, father. I'll train as much as I can." I say, happily.
