The Borrowed: Aerium's Breeze

The Next day
Spawnhall city

The result of the duel are spread out in the city, most of area around the guild already know the fact. It's even reached to the southern part where the Flamerose Inn lies.

"Morning ma'am."
"Oh, Yuki! I thought you won't visit us again."

"I told you before right? We'll still eat here for a while."

"Haha what a wasted farewell before."
"Told you, ma'am."
"So, what's your order this morning, Mr. Winner? Hm~"

"What do yo-"
"Haha! Here's our pride!"
"Yo, have a plate this early?"

"Of course, he's diligent! Not a bit like us!"
"Hahahaha!!"

"See? Everyone already know about your duel, you know."

"Haah...guess so."

"So what's your tips, youngun?"
"Buzz off, oldman! Don't bother my son with your booze-smelly mouth!"

"Wow, look at that! Now Madam clearly says that! Haha!"

"Dear me..She really said that?"
"Is she going senile already?"
"No, it can't be..don't tell me she's drunk this early?"

"What's so bad about that?"
"Gaah!! Everyone crouch down! Madam's going berserk sooner!!"

"Shutup, y'all!!!"
".......?!"

"What's the problem i said that when i took the responsibility to be her mother, huh?! After all he's the son of my old acquaintance."

"Uuh..you're right..."
"And you too, oldman! Back off to your own table!"

"Ugh, yes madam. How stingy~"

"Whaat?!!" Rinne gives a killer look at the oldman.

"Eeekk!!" It's the reaction of the scared oldman.

"It's okay, ma'am. If it can help them, i don't mind sharing a bit."

"Yuki.." (Rinne)
"Wahaha see? Your son is so wise."
The oldman still tries to hold his pride after hearing to Yuki's answer.

"You-!!" (Rinne)

"S-so what is it, kiddo?"
"Like you said, being diligent."

"W-what?"
"Huh?"
"That's all?"

"H-hey be more spesific! If diligent can make anyone stronger, ofcourse we all would be already A-rankers!"

"Yeess!! That's what i'm talking about!"
The spectators who side with the oldman shout at Yuki, showing their protest.

"Indeed it's true. Being diligent should make you all stronger, that's why i'm confusing here with your question, oldman."

"Pffftt..serve you right, oldman."
"M-madam!!"
"What? Something wrong with all of your brains?!"
"N-no, forgive us.."

"Here's the tips. Every morning before breakfast, i exercise in my room 100 pushups, 100 squats, 10minutes plank. Then after breakfast, Clearing some quests within 2-3 hours, then doing 'hunt training' for 30minutes, sprinting back to the guild as fast as possible. Then training my abilities on some quiet space after lunch, and lastly gaining some knowledges or training my magic before sleep."

"......"
"..... My god.."

"If that routine can be done at least in one month, anyone, even an oldman like you, can surely become stronger."

"Everyday...?"
"In a month?"
"That..at least...?"

"Hmm~ ofcourse, oldman! Nothing is free in this world. You need at least that much effort to be strong."
Said Rinne with her happy humming and smug face.
