Reincarnated Back To Bring Back The Balance In His World

Vol 3 - Chapter 2 [Little Sparring]

Misha is an adventurer, I've watched her and trained her. She herself asked me to make her stronger, to be able to protect her tribe, help her family, to not be a burden to her sister. If this world allowed, I would never put her in danger at all cost but, as I've experienced enough, this world is cruel, the word "mercy" is unknown to the monster. It's either hunt or be hunted.

"S-stop it guys! Don't you know that they're a gold rank party? Even that cat girl is a gold rank"

"That doesn't matter! To use a small kid on nightwatch duty, is he really that incompetent? Or he fakes his rank?"

I guess I should step in.

"Alright, that's enough. I understand what you feel but, let me make it clear on one thing! Misha, come here for a second"

"Yes, big brother?"

"Answer truthfully, do you want to do the nightwatch? Or, would you rather get some rest?"

"What is that question for!? You might have secretly threatened her beforehand so she will obey you! Beside, to ask--"

"Stop it! Don't bully big brother! He's always nice to Misha and big sister Musha!"

"Yes, Arlan never forced us into anything. As you can see, I'm her sibling, the older sister, obviously, I will never put her in danger no matter what. But, to reach this point, we've trained our hardest, we've always been under Arlan's care. So, if perhaps you're still questioning our skill, naturally, we will prove it to you!"

Misha interrupts one of the red armor's party members with her discontentment of me being bullied while Musha adds some words to further silence them.

"Okay, that's enough, Musha, Misha. Thank you for standing up for me. As you heard, I've never forced them into anything. We're in the same party, without trust, we would never be in the same party this long. I can see some of you still suspicious of me, in that case, do you want to have a spar with her? If you can win, I'm prepared to be engrave as a slave"

[Misha, are you ready?]

[Big brother? Why go that far for Misha?]

[What are you talking about? Misha is a precious little sister for me, of course I will do it this far]

[Big brother! I won't let big brother down!]

[Then, I trust you, Misha]

Then, I summon a contract magic on the ground, the content is as I stated.

"W-wait, are you serious? You don't have to go this far, you know? My party member doesn't mean it that way"

"What is your name, friend?"

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Yytron"

"Nice to meet you, sir Yytron, I'm Arlan. Well, sir Yytron can be the witness for this contract. Now, then, please step into the ring, mister Swordsman"

"Eh? W-wait, I thought you're going to cancel it"

"Why?"

"I mean, they are just being overprotective"

"Ah, don't worry, the contract only stated that if Misha lost that I would be a slave but if she wins, there won't be any penalty for you. Of course, if you're scared to fight against a gold rank little cat-kin, then you can start by apologizing to me"

Yeah, I think provoking them is too much. I can't think of another way, let's just be done with it. Beside, in this four months time, all of us have been training non-stop.
