Countess Cianella’s Male Slave

9. Rehabilitation (1)

Yes, from now on, let’s think of Sione’s actions like that as a kid scolding her.

I have to take good care of him as a mature adult.

“Shione-nim, haven’t you started holding the bow? It was difficult to draw the string even with a weak bow like today, but strong stamina and strength are essential to draw a stronger bow.”

“…Can’t we use mana to pull it?”

He asked for help saying that he would shoot directly without mana.

I looked at her and shook her head.

It’s a serious mana consumption to draw a bowstring only with mana.

Just being able to pour the mana from her arm into the power of an arrow makes a huge difference.

If it is not a special bow, pulling the string while circulating mana through the arm like today is a habit that must be abandoned.

“Is it the same as shooting with the power of mana or not?”

“That’s not…”

“Which one did you feel more clearly?”

“I definitely didn’t use mana…”

Ah, from this point on, I felt like I was missing something.

A reaction that fits this word perfectly.

“Since you already know it, I won’t go into detail.”

“Still, with a body like this, exercise… Is more of a laughing stock than an effort, and it’s just talked about every day. How ridiculous it must be to see pigs running around outside.”

“I’ve definitely seen a piece of hidden talent in Shione’s bow. You should build a better body to use a better bow and keep working hard.”

I even put her words of hidden talent for Shione in her mouth, so I put the excuse she was trying to make and bit her mouth shut.

This works better than I thought.

Actually, it seems that the effect is better because it is quite sincere.

It’s a small hope that I’ve seen at best, but I think I have to keep this steady.

“But do you think you’ll rot without being able to fully display your talents because it’s too cumbersome to move?”

In addition to these words, I added several words that vaguely stimulated her nervousness and motivation.

Then, in the end, Shione declared her surrender as if she was tired of it.

“Haa…. If you think you can do it. So please stop whining.”

However, there is no way that Sione, who is very conscious of other people’s eyes, will easily pass over.

She made a deliberately stern expression.

But maybe it was because she got close to her, there was no heavy atmosphere like the first time I saw her.

“However, there are conditions.”

She crossed her arms and began to state her condition.

“Exercise should be done only in my room. If outdoor exercise is necessary, I will only allow it during times when no one will see me, such as when shooting an archery.”

“As long as you don’t want it as you say, no one will know that Shione-nim’s efforts are in vain.”

“I’m glad I got it right-“

“If you do, let’s start from now.”

“…Huh? Right now?”

“Isn’t there a saying to take out the horns too? Please get off the bed.”

Shione showed a puzzled expression.

You wouldn’t have imagined that you would even pull my master out of bed.

But what about that?

If you are in bed, you can pull it down, and if you are sitting in a chair, you can force it up.

As I approached her bedside and stared at her, Shione woke up with an expression of disgust at her.

As expected, Shione is secretly shy, as I thought.

I have to make sure that I can use it usefully in the future.

“Yes, can’t we do it? But-“

Shione’s gaze, which quickly scans my room, then moved to me.

“Looking at it now, this room doesn’t look like it’s suitable for exercising. It’s not wide enough for running, and it’s not suitable for strenuous activities. I think it’s better to do it early in the morning every day instead of right now.”

… I’m trying to sneak out somehow.

But, to her discredit, she also has plenty of aerobic exercises that she can simply enjoy indoors.

Shione’s room, which is almost abandoned by her family in case it’s not already a fairly well-to-do county house, is also quite spacious.

It’s about a space for a simple exercise.

“Don’t worry, we know a lot of effective exercises that you can do in your room. You’ll also have plenty of space so you can do it without any discomfort.”

“Ah…”

Shione looked at me in vain with a face that had lost her country.

“Have you ever heard of the burpee test?”

“The burpee test? I’ve never heard of it.”

“If you do, I’ll demonstrate first.”

After warming up with moderate stretching, I slowly unfolded the burpee test movements.

Shione was surprised when I squatted down and pulled her leg back. She

Despaired of collecting.

She seemed to scream silently as she ran to the finish jump.

“Now, do you want me to do this…? Do you really think it’s possible for a pig’s back leg to fall back and then jump back?”

“It’s a pig’s back leg. It looks like a general’s strong legs, and it just looks full of strength. I have no doubt that Sione-sama can easily do it.”

“No, since you usually follow me, don’t you know my stamina well? It’s hard to breathe even walking fast for a while. Do you want me to do something like that?”

“Is there anything that can’t be done? Even if there is none, I will make it possible for you.”

“He is truly a devil…”

“Now, let’s start with stretching so that we don’t get hurt during exercise.”

“…Contrary to what you see, you have a really terrible personality.”

I responded with a smile at her words.

Shione finished her stretches under my direction, and finally started the burpee test.

With each move, a thump thud echoed from the ground. She seemed to weigh more than expected.

“Wow.”

You’d have to work really hard to get all of that out.

I have to keep my promise to my exclusive servant to exercise, and the exercise is so tight that I want to quit.

Shione gnashed her teeth and continued her movements, sweating as if it were raining.

I can’t help it. Shione’s day should be rolled even more harshly for a faster diet success.

Shione sighed as she completed a burpee test at the same time as her jump.

“Stop it… Is this enough…! hehehehe…”

“Your legs are still supporting your body properly. You seem to have quite a bit of strength left…”

“…….”

“Let’s do just three more. Just three more.”

“You are the devil…”

“Shione-nim, I believe you know that you shouldn’t use mana.”

“It’s a terrible devil.”

Shione seemed to have a sore throat, and in the end, she did more burpees until her legs relaxed, just as I had hoped, and stretched out.

As if I had no strength left to speak, I just looked up at the sky and panted.

After a while, Shione caught his breath.

She raised her body with her nod and met her gaze with mine.

“Whoa…Is it done now?”

“Thank you for your hard work. Cool water here.”

“…Thank you very much.”

“Oh, but you’d better not drink too much.”

“Huh?”

“Because drinking too much water before your next workout can make you feel sick.”

“What, what? There’s a next workout?”

Shione’s complexion turned pale.

The pitiful quivering of the two pupils caused a lot of sympathy, but it didn’t work for me.

How a lion drops his cubs off a cliff to make them stronger.

Although I’m not a lion, as much as I intend to drop her weight as an exclusive servant of the proud Sione Cianella.

She cultivated an immovable mind that was not easily shaken even in the face of her miserable appearance, like a small animal in the rain.

Well, in the Dangun myth, there is a bear that became human after eating only mugwort and garlic for 100 days in a cave.

Shione is only reborn in this cozy room with diet food and exercise for 100 days.

I smiled imagining the 180 degree change of Shione in the future.

“Of course. But Sione-sama is a different person at the level of a sword user. She should be able to do everything.”

“…Are you going to kill me?”

“No way. My lower body is weak, so I’m going to exercise my upper body until I regain my energy. If I lose weight evenly, I won’t die if I don’t lose weight.”

“…Okay, now do as you like. As you please.”

As expected, the level of a sword user is not a decoration, and even though I kept screaming in pain, Shione somehow followed my words.

I pushed her until I thought she had enough exercise for today.

Thanks to her, she is now covered in sweat.

“Thank you for your hard work. The clothes you are wearing are wet with sweat, so I will bring you a change of clothes.”

“Haa… I’ll be lying on the bed, so come back.”

“Ah, I’d appreciate it if you refrain from getting into bed, at least until you dry yourself with a towel and change your clothes.”

“…Now that I think about it, the cold floor is better for cooling off. Bring a bottle of cool water when you return.”

“I will do that.”

Before I went to look for her clothes, I stopped her for a moment.

“Ah.”

As soon as I spoke, Shione’s attention, which had been distracted, focused on me again.

I smiled at her.

“…It’s ominous, so don’t laugh too much and just say it quickly.”

“I will even adjust my diet from now on so that Shione-nim can change more quickly.”

“……Ki.”

Hmm? What did Shione say?

“Yes? What did you say?”

“…It’s fine, so please don’t skip the meat.”

More than ever, I could see the earnestness deeply engraved on Shione’s face.
