Rosetta-sama, You're Overdoing It! - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Rosetta’s Morning Training

Now, after finishing the meal, it’s time for the morning exercise.

Since we’re going out in the afternoon today, let’s deal with magic now.

But if it’s visible magic, Lionetta will make a fuss again, so I’ll sit in meditation and circulate the magical power within my body.

A moment of silence. I was trying to concentrate when Lionetta sneezed.

Hey, I got startled, you know. Don’t interrupt, Lionetta.

After completing the circulation within the body, the next thing to do is to envelop the body with magical power.

Adjusting the amount of magic is also difficult, so let’s start with a very thin layer.

Hmm, like this?

I covered my whole body, but I don’t feel like I’ve enveloped it at all.

It was the moment I took a step forward.

The ground was gouged and flew away.

It happened in an instant, with a bang.

Seems like it couldn’t withstand the step.

Terrifying! Body enhancement is dangerous.

I immediately stored the magic within my body.

If I had left it as it was, I might have dug endlessly without my feet touching the ground.

Why did such a thin film cause this!? Did I overdo it? No, I haven’t done anything yet! This was just the preliminary stage before trying something else!

“Oh, milady, right now…”

“Ohohohoho, I just put a little force into my step. Ohohohoho.”

“N-no, it’s not just a little force, for something like that…”

Yeah. It seems like it’s better to seal off magic until I can control it better, just like Master suggested. I can’t seem to grasp the right amount of power.

For now, let’s just stick to the usual internal circulation.

I can do internal circulation anytime, and I’ll gradually get used to it, making sure that magic circulates within my body at all times. It’s like blood.

“Now, shall we move on to swordsmanship practice?”

“Huh… By the way, when did you learn those strange sword techniques and movements?”

“Hehehe. It’s a forbidden topic.”

I press my index finger against my lips and say it cutely.

Eek, what’s with that face?

Why are you looking at me with eyes as if you’re seeing something filthy!? Doesn’t it suit me? No way, I don’t suit that cuteness?

Well, in that case.

“You shouldn’t delve into the abyss.”

I smirk meaningfully.

Then, Lionetta recoils with a squeak and plops down on the ground.

Seems like she lost her strength from that terrifying smile. Jeez, don’t joke like that. I’m still a kid, why is that smile so scary? Rude.

After sword practice, it’s time for Tai Chi practice.

Well, it’s just the health one that old folks do.

When I was around 30, I started caring about my health and learned Tai Chi through correspondence education.

That’s when I got into martial arts, Tai Chi, Baguazhang, Praying Mantis Fist, and so on. I started mastering martial arts and before I knew it, I was in my 40s. I’ve mastered quite a bit. The crumbling fist is the weakest yet the strongest!

This time, I’ll take it slow, partly to reminisce. From tomorrow, I’ll gradually increase the time for this too.

After Tai Chi, it’s dance practice.

It’s not the kind of dance where a man and a woman waltz like they do in this world, but rather intense dancing. This helps to create a body that moves quickly. And it’s also a way to shape up.

Dancing while playing music in my mind… Whoops, that was close. Almost broke into breakdancing.

If I did it here, my clothes would end up covered in mud.

And my hair would get all dirty too, then Lionetta would scold me. Let’s change to a song that’s just stepping.

“Milady, are you really okay? You’ve been acting quite strange since you hit your head back then.”

Lionetta says worriedly.

“I’m fine. But hey, Lionetta, why don’t you dance too? It’s supposed to be good for dieting, you know?”

“I’m good, thanks. And what do you mean by dieting?”

“It’s about burning off excess fat to get a beautiful body. Is your stomach sticking out?”

“Ugh. Well, I’ve been feeling like my stomach’s been protruding a bit from snacking too much lately, but uh, no thanks.”

Too bad.

But why are you eating so many snacks?

You’ll gain weight, you know? I’ve been stopping myself from overeating and trying to be healthy… Oh, you’re eating those snacks for me.

That’s why you’re gaining weight. You’re getting chubby. It’s maternity weight.

No, Lionetta, there’s a reason why I stopped eating them.

Sweets and exercise go hand in hand. You have to move if you want to eat properly. For girls, dieting is like a war!!

After doing various activities, it was already lunchtime.

I was quite hungry from all the exercise.

Lunch was the usual lavish meal.

But lately, I’ve been craving Japanese food a bit. Is there no rice? No miso soup? We have bread and soup, though. The flavors are bland, and the variety is limited.

Don’t you get tired of the same thing every day? You must be desensitized from eating the same thing too much. I don’t want that. I’ll revive Japanese food before it happens.
