Chapter 35 Harsh Training
"Don't worry Yumie, you will have a break after this HAHAHA!"
[You have already said that to me in the past but you lied to me Big Sister! sob...] Yumie was now crying, she looks pitiful right now her pink and shiny scales are now full of bruises and dried blood.
Yumie was now training nonstop the sun has even started to rise when she started to complain again. Yumie trained until she was on the verge of collapsing or dying but every time she fell to the ground Yuki will shove a healing pot at her.
Yumie even thinks that she will not die from her enemies but from the training that she got from Yuki. All the training she got is from fighting a tiger that was 5x bigger than her, fighting an army of bears, running up and down from a mountain, and some more that was harder than before.
Sadly for her, Yuki didn't care for now at least, but still, Yumie was lucky that Yuki's gaze soften when she heard Yumie's sobs so she then said to make her calm down "Ok then promise this is the last Hit me with all of your power, no holding back ok?"
[Yes Big Sister I will trust you again] Yumie just accepted her fate.
"Good!"
After Yumie finished her last task of killing a single Savage Beast she was now done and was lying on the ground panting. But Yuki still did not let her go and gave her the last task of the night.
"Ok, now time to strike me with all you Yumie," Yuki said to Yumie.
[But... I don't think I can hit you Big Sis Yuki.]
Said Yumie because she did not have the heart to hit her Big Sister since she is the only family that she has even though they are not blood-related.
"Don't worry you can do it, I believe in you. Remember you need to have a strong heart and mind since you don't know that somewhere in the future you might get betrayed." Yuki said since she understood where Yumie was coming from.
[But... Do I have to do this Big Sis Yuki? I mean I know that you can just make a dummy for me to hit so that I will try not to hold back.] Yumie tries to defend herself since she doesn't want to do it.
"No more BUT Yumie! I know that I can just make a dummy, but by doing that I will not be able to measure how much growth you have made in your physical body." Yumie said in a stern voice and not letting Yumie off.
[Ok... I'll try Big Sis Yuki. But don't blame me if my hit is still not strong ok?]
"Don't worry I will not judge you since this is just your first day of training. Ok then let's go, and try not to worry about me hitting you since I'll plan to take the hit directly to test how much you have grown in just one day." Yuki said assuring Yumie that they will not fight
[Ok here I go Big Sis Yuki take this!]
Yumie then rushed toward Yuki at such a fast speed that even Yuki was surprised when she saw this. Not only did she improve her physical body because at first she was slow and didn't have much stamina but looking at her now Yuki can see how much she has grown in just one night.
Even Yuki was surprised at this so she suddenly thought 'Is this because of her race that she is improving quickly?' Yuki asked herself but only shook her head since Yumie was now getting closer.
Once Yumie was now in range she then used her tail to try to stab Yuki but sadly it did not even make a scratch after Yuki took the hit. Yumie was now confused since Yuki's fur and body seem very soft like cotton once you look at it but once you try to damage it, it is hard as steel.
After noticing that her attack failed she took a step back before attacking once again, this time she changed it a bit since one of her currently strongest attacks didn't work she will try to attack Yuki with quick attacks not letting Yuki take a break.
Yuki who saw this cannot feel proud that her little sister was growing way too quickly even though she is not bleeding from the attack she can somehow feel a sting of pain like an ant that bit you. That was what she was feeling when Yumie attacked her nonstop.
"Very good! Now stop for now let's continue this tomorrow. I will give you an even harder task since I did not expect that you will grow this quickly." Yuki's voice suddenly rang into Yumie's mind which stopped her movements in an instant.
When Yumie heard Yuki she suddenly got emotional since her hard work was paying off quickly but she quickly wiped her tears before Yuki saw it. But it was too late Yuki had already seen it, Yuki was confused at first but since Yumie was her contracted beast she knew what is running into her mind so she also makes a promise 'You don't have to worry I'll make you strong so you can stand at your own Yumie.'
Yumie then quickly thanked Yuki but she suddenly turned to make a smug face [Thank you big sis Yuki but aren't you going to reward me since I trained hard today?.] Yumie said, which caused Yuki to be dumbfounded.
Yuki shot a glare at Yumie which caused her body to shrink at Yuki's gaze but Yuki suddenly thought that Yumie was right since even she did not think of these results so she decided to reward her. "Ok then so what does my little sister want?"
Yumie was delighted at this so she requested Yuki [Big Sis can you make me a delicious meal? and have a good rest before training again?]
"Not much but ok I'll do it." Said Yuki nonchalantly.
Yumie was about to hug Yuki since she was delighted but was suddenly cut off by Yuki. "But... You only have 3hrs of sleep before we start training again."
[No! That's too cruel, big sis Yuki! Can't you make it to 5hrs since my body is aching from pain?] Yumie tried to bargain with Yuki. But what she only got was a devilish smile from Yuki.
"Then do you want me to lessen your rest?" Yuki suddenly said, which made Yumie panic.
[No of course not I was only joking big sis Yuki I didn't mean it that way.] Yumie was now shivering after receiving that smile.
"Good! ok here's your delicious meat." Yuki then threw a large piece of meat which caused Yumie to drool but suddenly stopped when she saw what it was.
[Big sis isn't this a Demonic Beast are you sure I can have this reward?] Yumie said while looking at Yuki.
"Then do you want me to take this away?" Yuki suddenly asked, which caused Yumie to panic again.
[No mind me, big sis! I'll eat it.]
