It's been 3 months since i was transported to this world and I have learned much about my race and about this world... I've given up in the log out button since it only kept saying error... Then the logout button vanished without a trace... The heck?
I trained my body according to father's training regimen... I ran around town during dawn and did 100 squats, 100 sit ups, 100 pushups... Will my hair start to fall out once I've finished the one year training?
Of course, my magic training didn't fall behind as I did it while doing father's regimen... I clad my body in mana and it looked as if I'm covered in bluish color as I ran... This helps me level up both [Mana Manipulation] and [Mana Perception]. I didn't want to have the body of a masculine woman so I kept my training to a bare minimum so that I could keep the proportions of my body...
Honestly, I'm thinking like a woman almost completely with the influence of Emily, Mother, she always talked about cute dresses and gowns... She keeps on ranting about how a woman should take care of her body and her hair... So even if I hid it I handled it with utmost care. I also started to influence Shim a bit... She made her hair longer and I kept it in check.
"Thanks for doing this, Ryomi."
"No biggie... I'm quite fond doing this since mother thought me..."
"You speak of things that I couldn't understand, what's "No Biggie" mean?"
"Ah! That means it's no big of task for me, so you don't have to thank me for doing it."
"I see! Then it's no biggie!"
"Yup!"
I checked her hair for lice but it seems she's been taking care of it. I hold her hair up and made a bow with a piece of cloth, making it look like a pony tail...
"Ah! It feels much cooler now..."
"Well, it's much better to hold it up like that when running or doing cleaning and all kinds of work since it doesn't feel that hot... Specially indoors..."
"Ryomi! Shim! You two are here again?"
"Ah! Mother!"
"Good Morning, Auntie..."
We stood up and walked towards mother, Shim showed her respect as she bowed to mother. Emily seeing this held her hand up gesturing that "You needn't do that" and continued with "What are you doing here?"
"We're just here to rest for a bit... and the tree is quite cozy specially in this heat the shade is appreciated..."
"Yes, as Ryomi had said..."
"I'm here to get you, your father is looking for you. I'm sorry Shim but could you let her off today?"
"Of course, I'll be here for a while longer so you could go back to town first"
"I'm sorry, Shim!"
"It's okay! It's okay! Your father is a very busy man and he's only here during weekends."
"I'm really sorry! I promise I'll make up for it one of this days..."
"I'll take you up on that!"
I accompanied mother back to the house and left Shim all alone atop the hill not far from the village. As we got back to the house, father had a really scary expression... I wonder what I did wrong? It must be last Tuesday's water ball fight that trashed one of the stalls at the marketplace, or last Thursday's fight with the boys when they picked on Shim... I got angry and pummeled 4 boys but no one died so it's okay... I guess there were a few broken bones but it can be healed by magic so it's okay...
"So? You got anything to tell me today?"
"Ugh... Erm... I..."
"Ryomi... Just tell your father slowly..."
"Yeah! Tell me!"
"... L, last Tuesday we were just playing around the marketplace we didn't mean to trash one of the stalls there... This Thursday those boys picked on Shim so I got angry and started to fight them, but I didn't do anything that could be harmful to the other party!"
"Is breaking bones not harmful to the other party?"
"Urk... I, I'm sorry I was just controlled by my anger and forgot to discipline myself... I'm sorry..."
I anticipated Toni's slap, punch and other kinds of rough treatment but he caressed the top of my head and said...
"Haa... I just can't bring myself to discipline you roughly if you make that face... But this is the last time okay? I won't be making exceptions next time, keep your emotions in check since clinging to your emotions too much will become your undoing."
"Y, yes..." Then he chops my head lightly and said "This'll be your punishment for today... Seriously, me and your mother can't leave you alone in this town for a week without you doing anything reckless..."
"Uuu..."
"Let her off for today, okay? Shim's waiting at the hill after all..."
"Okay, you can go!'
"Y,yes! Thank you, Father!"
The two waved at me goodbye as I ran outside... I said my hellos to the guards as I ran towards the hill outside the village, there Shim was still lying down and seems to be thinking about something...
"Boo!"
"Wah!"
As I surprised Shim, she exclaimed as she sat upright and our foreheads crashed into each other...
"Uuu.."
"Ow!"
It hurts... My head... I knelt down while holding my head with both my hands... and Shim seemed to sit while also holding her head with both hands... She glared at me for a few seconds and in return I glared at her as well... Coming into an understanding we found our situation laughable and quite stupid.
"Pfft... Ahahahah!"
"Ahahahaha!"
We laughed so much that we almost teared up while laughing... It's not that funny now that you think about it, it actually mostly hurt than it being funny but we thought otherwise, we couldn't get angry to each other's pranks and just laughed about it.
"Seriously, you should stop doing that! It really hurts..."
"You seemed to be thinking deeply about something I just couldn't help it..."
"Normally, people would call out to the person, who's thinking quite deeply not scare them!"
"Ehehe..."
"So... What happened?"
"I got scolded..."
"Common occurrence!"
"Don't say it like that! You were part of it too... Or should've been... Even though I got angry because of you being picked on you left me to be scolded by the elders! On the marketplace too! You were with me playing [Water Ball] when you increased your output and destroyed one of the stalls!"

"Teehee!"
"Don't "Teehee" me! Come here you!"
"Kyaa! Ryomi's touching me!~~"
"Don't make it sound like I'm doing something lewd!"
×××
After a while we went down the hill and walked through the town since it's already been three months since I've lived here I have met and got acquainted to a number of people like flower shop lady, Elena, The Grumpy old man, Bromo and a few others... I've became friends with the town guards since I've been going out a lot, and because I've been seeing them a lot when I get in trouble.
"Ryomi! We're friends, right?"
"Yeah? What's with that all of a sudden?"
"Well, friends don't keep secrets to each other right?"
"If you're going to ask about the hat, then keep it to yourself I'm not taking it off..."
"Ohh! But!"
"No buts... I've already told you that I won't separators from this hat, you understand that don't you and mother also warned you as well..."
"Ooh! Okay..."
She seemed disappointed but I won't falter... I made a promise to mother and I won't break it...
Then sounds of trumpets came from the central road of the town... I wonder what it is? Ah!
"Father!"
"There you are you two!"
"Where's mother?"
"In the house! Come on!"
"But we want to see what's going on in the central road..."
"It's just some nobles, let them be..."
"I see... Nobles, huh? Let's go Shim!"
"Yeah!"
I road on Toni's back and took Shim as well... Father is quite strong, he can lift both of us, though I wonder if it was my old body... He would've already slammed the ground already because of my weight.
"Ah! I could see the carriages!"
"Eh? Ah! I see it too!"
There were three elegantly decorated Carriages colored in Blue, Purple and Violet their orders respectively. Someone was inside the carriage and it was looking at this direction. I wonder what he was doing?
"Ah! The carriage stopped!"
"Ah! It did!"
As Shim heard me saying she stretched her neck and look towards where I was looking and agreed to my statement. Then the people suddenly gave way as the carriage door opened and a seemingly young man came out of it and started to walk this way.
"Why are the people moving apart?"
"Ah! That's not just any noble! It's the crowned Prince!"
"Eeeh..."
I said in a monotonous tone as Shim gives additional information towards the incoming target.
"Then why is he moving towards our direction?"
"Dunno?"
"Father, why aren't you moving?"
"It's kind of disrespectful since I'm serving his majesty so I won't move. Hurry you two get down from my shoulders and show respect..."
"Eh? Seriously?"
"Y, yes!"
My and Shim's answer were quite different... I didn't want to see the prince and wanted to move away while Shim seemed rather happy and even stuttered as she voiced her answer.
"Knight Captain, what are you doing here?"
"Ah! Kieffer, I live here what brings his majesty to this town?"
"Ah, that... Well, he wanted to see the status of the surrounding area, as he will someday be king he wanted to create projects for his subjects as early as possible... It's quite a grand quest, but in reality he just wanted to get away from royalty lessons... I'm sorry, I know that it's your off day and I'm interrupting you and your daughters alone time but will you help me with the security?"
"I see... Ah, I haven't introduced you this is my daughter Ryomi and this is her friend Shim..."
"Nice to meet you girls!"
"Nice to meet you too! Sir Knight!"
"I, I'm honored!"
"Who are this two, Kieffer?"
"Ah, Prince, this two are..."
"The name's Ryomi!"
With my hands crossed together I stood unmoving and with a smug on my face... I always wanted to do this... It's unladylike but let me unwind sometime...
"Ryomi!!! Show some respect! I'm really sorry you're majesty, it's her first time seeing a royalty!"
My head was held down by father and Shim, and apologized to the prince with both their heads bowed down...
"I like you girl! Come with me!"
"Eh?"
Both Shim and Father were dumbfounded when they heard the prince...
"Is she going to get executed?"
"Tortured?"
"No! No! Nothing of the sort! I only wanted her to accompany me... She's your daughter am I right Knight Captain?"
"Yes, but..."
"Then it's settled let your friend come with us if you want... Your father is to be my personal guard together with Kieffer."
After that he went back to the carriage and waited for us... Kieffer had an apologetic face and said "I'm sorry I dragged you along..." then went back to the carriage as well...
"Father?"
"Haa... You know that it's already hard to keep your secret in town, you just had to be like that to the prince too... I'm going to scold you so much once we get home!"
"E, eh?"
"It's your fault this time, Ryomi! I have nothing to do with it! But I'll accompany you still because the prince permitted it..."
"You too, Shim?"
Father went back to the house and took his armor and weapons... Mother was furious and said she wanted to come along to keep the two of us safe...
So started the busy afternoon of the whole party...
