After a few days of training with Marie-san, it was time for Count Albert and his entourage to leave the mansion.

While I had the knowledge through the <Book of Isis>, without the experiences that Marie-san have as an alchemist, her pointers in regards with magic inscription have proven to be quite helpful for me. 

After all, who would've expected that one's handwriting is a factor that determines the effectiveness of the magic circle inscribed to the magic tool? I didn't know, and this is something that should help me on the long run.

But now, it has been a few days since they left and I've already regretted asking my two mothers for help...

——————————————

"Come on now, Emi-chan! You're still halfway there and 3 hours have already passed!"

"*pant* *pant* I know... that... already!! *pant*"

"Emi-chan, you've requested this one yourself. If you want to become one this quickly, then you'll have to endure this little thing!

"But... *pant* This... body... *pant* it's so small..."

...

Flashback...

"You're in no shape or form to become an adventurer right away, Emi-chan." Mama Diana said sternly. 

"Diana-sama's right. And it's not even something like your knowledge that's the limiting factor. 

It's your physique as well. While you have the mana and mana control to do magic, if the material vessel of a user aren't well-suited for magic, then you're not gonna survive out there when you run out of mana." Auntie Clara added. It appears that she's more knowledgeable in this, considering that she was a former S-Ranker Adventurer after all. 

"And besides, you're not even 6 years old yet! So your body's not well-suited to hold a heavy sword. for your job class." Mama Diana added with a worried tone. 

"I could use a lighter weapon, you know...? Plus, I think it's better if I'll just show this to everyone." I said nonchalantly. 

"What do you mean by sho—?!?!" Auntie Clara was about to ask a question when I activated my  Skill which released the pent-up mana that I've been keeping to myself to continuously train on containing my mana that was leaking out.

If I'm right, I'm also giving myself some leeway to what I think would be optimal for me which is to try and utilize <Optical Concealment Magic> and <Magic Power Operation> to control my mana to morph myself into an individual that I can imagine on...

Alright... With this, I can imagine someone now... but I wonder who...

Oh yeah, I know~!

"Emi-chan!?"

As they were seeing my body glowing, I took the form of a familiar figure that I usually see within the household. As I smiled at the two of them after turning to that individual, the two of them were quite inappropriately shocked.

"Eh?!" Mama Diana exclaimed. 

"Diana-sama?! and... a little Diana-sama?!" Auntie Clara followed suit with the surprise.

"Hello, Mother. Did I do well?" I said as I approached the table and held a quill in my hand as I have turned into Mama Diana who was in her younger teenage years which I usually see with her portraits inside Papa Edmund's repository room.

While it's quite concerning that Papa has something like that there, I think that something like this would work.

It's quite a different hairstyle from her current one of straight blonde hair wearing a ponytail. And also wore her outfit from her adventuring days of a nice Sirius Sect Priestess outfit bearing a white robe over her light blue garb, and gold-laced outlines on the white robe. 

She's also handling a Priestess' staff on the painting although I can't replicate something like that right now.

And to be honest, I only tried to sound like Mama Diana a little bit, but I didn't think that the two of them were caught with that too.

"Ah..." Mama Diana said while staring into my appearance blankly, as if a fuse is starting to blow. 

"Ah?" I asked in curiosity with my voice still imitating Mama Diana's voice and tilting my head a little bit to the right. 

"Awawawa!!!" Mama Diana exclaimed ti the point of almost going unconscious. 

"Diana-sama?!" "Mama?!?!" I broke my <Optical Concealment Magic> as both Auntie Clara and I approached Mama Diana. 

... 

"How did you know that appearance, Emi-chan?" Auntie Clara asked with a scary smile on her face and an oni appearing behind her head as always. 

"H-Hyihhh?!?! I-It's F-Father's fault! H-He has a p-portrait of you o-on his repository r-room..." I snitched. 

"Oya...? Pfft!" Auntie Clara was surprised that she almost chuckled before holding it in herself. 

"Awawawawa!!!" Mama Diana's bout of embarrassment continued further than that for a while... 

I'm sorry Papa, but I think that you'll need to endure it for me...

"Coming back to that... That's an impressive magic control there, Emi-chan... Your body seems to be well-adapted from the heavy magic use at such a young age..." Auntie Clara said to me as she checks my body once again. 

"*sniff* Indeed... " Mama Diana said as she added. "*sniff* T-To have this i-innate level of c-controlling magic power... *sniff* It's impressive... *sniff*" She said as she stopped crying from her embarrassment earlier. 

"S-So... Can I become an adventurer?"

As I asked the two of them, they looked at each other at first before nodding to each other in unison as if they'd reached an agreement that I didn't have an opinion on.

"We have three conditions for that, Emi-chan... 

First, if Clara would see that you have what it takes to become a C-Rank adventurer based on your sword and magic training with her, then you can become an adventurer. Can you do that?" Mama Diana said to me in a stern tone. 

"Y-Yes... I can do that, Mama." I answered confidently. 

"Second. You're only allowed to accept requests for around 2 weeks per month. Your other two weeks should be reserved for your training and education after you become an adventurer." Auntie Clara's the one who laid down the second condition. 

"I-I guess... I can work with that." I said nonchalantly. 

"And finally... You MUST escape if the situation you're in is highly dangerous and you're certain that you won't survive the encounter. 

I'll have your adventurer's rank revoked if I ever got to see you amputated or have a serious injury." As Mama Diana said that last condition with a solemn face, I can feel the worry that the two of them were having. 

The fact that adventuring itself is literally like fighting for your life every time, it's not something that's usually illustrated or described on isekai or fantasy light novels.

Just killing a single life in itself is already a thing that's really hard for any normal Earthling to experience, even for me too. But for the plans that came up in my mind... I need to become an adventurer...

"I'm willing to become an adventurer, Mother. I agree to these three conditions."

End of flashback...

...

After jogging for more than 8 kilometers, which is around 5 laps around the estate, it was already around past the 5-hour mark and is already afternoon when I finished that rigorous jogging. 

I was called on by everyone who was on the porch while having lunch.

"Good work out there, Emi-chan... Have some water. You can also have lunch with everyone too after wiping your sweat." Mama Diana approached me while carrying a towel and a wooden jug filled with water. 

"T-Thank you, Mama..." I said as she gave me both a towel and a wooden cup to drink cold water on. Afterward, I join the four of them and ate lunch with them.

After that, I was then urged with changing to a newer attire so I believe that I would need to dress up like an adventurer for this next thing. 

That's why I used my Optical Concealment Magic to turn myself into my adult self with all of the specifications that I chose. Although my current stats won't change from that, the control of this body is exactly as precise as I would have from my own body using my <Magic Power Operation> and its telekinetic powers as the basis for it.

My adventuring outfit consisted of a dark-red one-piece long-sleeved blouse and a brown flexible pants that conform to my legs as with the appropriate underwear inside, as well as flexible leather boots that have a good grip on the ground, and I chose a brighter red and gold chest plate and shoulder plate as my pants were held by a hip belt and a gold-laced red cape under my right shoulder plate. 

I think that something like this would have already been good enough as an outfit be good for training. 

So when I got back to the training area, everyone around me from the knights, and mages started whispering to one another. 

"Who was that beauty...?" 

"Hooooh... She looked like an adventurer. Is she a high-ranking one...?"

"What a powerful yet intricate control of mana..."

"She does look like Clara-sama... Could she be?"

At the same time, I approached Papa Edmund and others. 

"Emi-chan... Is that you...? You've definitely used your <Optical Concealment Magic> to its utmost potential. " Papa Edmund asked with a baffled expression on his face before smiling at me as he said that. 

"Eh?! Is that Emi-oneechan?!" Clarence was surprised to see it as well. 

Aside from the knights and the mages who were speculating, I forgot that the two of them didn't know that I can do Optical Concealment Magic now. 

"Diana-sama, Mama Clara, how do I look?" I asked the two of them. 

As of now, we still haven't revealed to everyone in the estate about my real identity, so they still thought of me as someone who's closely related to Auntie Clara, opposite of how the actual truth was.

"Oya? That looks pretty good to me. That outfit seemed to be resemble the outfits used by nobles for horseback riding. Fitting for an adventurer." Mama Diana replied with a proud smile on her face. 

"Diana's right. But you're not the only one who has changed to." 

Mama Clara said as a flash of light later, her Victorian-esque maid outfit turned into an adventuring outfit that's particularly similar to an outfit I know of from fantasy gacha games...

An outfit befitting of a magic swordsman which consists of white inner clothing that covers the entirety of her upper body while morphed into something similar to a high-low skirt with similarity to a sarong skirt. 

Mama Clara also has a metal plate that covered her abdomen down to near the thighs and has a long black sock along with a complete knee-length lower-leg metal plate. She also has metal gauntlets on both hands which only covered the upper arm with a linen undergarment under the metal plate to hold it in place.

Her red hair was also changed from the usually braided hairstyle to a ponytail one like mine. 

It would be fair to know that I and Mama Clara might look like siblings and her being my elder sister.

"Are you ready for your sword training, Emi-chan? Remember that I will not be lenient on you whilst at training." 

"Yes, Mama!"

The aura around Auntie Clara became stricter like the usual aura that she releases when she's training with Papa Edmund.

"Then take a weapon of choice from those weapon racks over there." She said as she pointed he index finger towards the edge of the training area. 

"Yes, Mama!" I said as I quickly made my way towards one of the weapon racks to look for a suitable weapon. 

Although I did Kendo in middle school, I don't think that something like that would be suitable for self-defense. 

Though, since I can handle shinais, I think a straight sword would work.

"A Chokuto, huh... I guess it would be qui-- what?! It's freaking heavy!" I did not expect ironwood to be this heavy for a straight sword... 

Wait, it's not even Chokuto, to begin with, but a normal regular sword! Well... Although I can properly handle a sword as my body reaches maturity, I don't think I can go with that even with Body-Enhancement Magic.

"If not, then a single-hand sword. Uchigatana and wakizashi, but wakizashis are too small for a bla--oooooh!! Both of these weapons are lighter, I think these should work!" 

I thought as I immediately tried to find the other racks for a sword that's similar to an Uchigatana and a Wakizashi... and as I guessed, some are similar to it. 

I guess these are from the Dynasty of Musashi that I heard of that's from the Middle Eastern part of the world...

"Oya? Dual-wielding, Emi-chan?" Auntie Clara asked with curiosity in her tone and her eyes. 

"I think that it suits me the best, Mama." I replied. 

"Hoho~ is that so? Are you ready to spar now? Remember, no magic. " She said as she pulled out an ironwood training sword from her scabbard. 

I then pulled out the wakizashi and its sheath on my right side while the Uchigatana and its sheath is on the left side of my hips. 

A dual-wield style that's specialized and conceived by none other than Miyamoto Musashi from Earth, the two-sword Kenjutsu technique "Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryū-style¹loosely translated to 'two heavens as one' which correlates to the two-sword—katana and wakizashi—kenjutsu (sword technique) ".

A technique that I'm well-versed in, aside from unarmed combat, and kendo. So I quickly unsheathed both of my swords with a Wazikashi on my left hand, and an Uchigatana on my right hand and replied to her question.

"Yes, Mama. I'm ready!" I exclaimed with a smile on my face. 

"Come at me with everything you got!" Auntie Clara exclaimed.

The two of us then vanished from our last position as both of our swords clashed into one another, signifying that the training has started.
