~12 June 2008~
Kojiro wakes up early like usual and then slowly gets up from the bed so as not to wake up Yasaka, Sakura, and Kunou, who decide that they want to sleep with him and Yasaka. However, before he could go to his training chamber, he heard Yasaka's voice coming from behind him.
"Where do you want to go, Kojiro-kun? It's only 3 AM right now."
"Sorry to wake you up. I want to do some training and then prepare to open up my cafe by cooking some food and brew some drink."
"Can I come with you?"
"You want to come with me?"
"Yup"
"Very well."
He sees Yasaka slowly get off from the bed and try not to wake the children from their sleep. Yasaka and Kojiro then walk inside his wardrobe and open up a secret door to his training chamber. After he opens up the secret door, Kojiro can see Yasaka's shocked face as she looks around the training chamber in awe. Yasaka snapped from her shocked state before saying.
"You never stop to amaze me, huh, Kojiro-kun?"
He chuckled a little before saying.
"I try."
Kojiro taps his foot to the floor, and suddenly, a hologram appears in front of them, and as the hologram appears, they can hear a woman with a robotic voice all around the room.
"Welcome to the Training Chamber, What can I do for you today?"
Kojiro looks at Yasaka, who has another shock and then says.
"Do you want a battle against an army or two against two?"
"We can do that?"
"Yes, While this room is called a training room, it also has a function as a simulation room where we can do some simulation yourself and fight any kind of enemy."
"Hmmm…. Then two against two, please, and maybe we can fight against an army next simulation."
Kojiro chuckles at her answer because he knows that they will not have any energy left to fight an army after fighting a robot servant.
"Two opponents, Parameter A++. Saber, Lancer, Archer, Caster and Assassin"
"Acknowledge—two opponents with Parameter of A++ with Saber, Lancer, Caster and Assassin class. The simulation will begin in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…"
When his order has been acknowledged, Kojiro and Yasaka then prepare to fight against the enemy that will appear. He looks at Yasaka getting ready to face the enemy by summoning her Fox Fire. The fire also appeared on the tip of her tail. When the countdown reaches zero, a mannequin appears in front of them—one of them holding a sword while the other holding a long spear.
Seeing the enemy, Kojiro decides to unsummon his sword and take out the new spear that he got from Fou.
Before they could react or think of any tactic, the mannequin holding a spear suddenly appeared in front of them. He successfully blocked the attack; however, before he could respond, the lancer took back its spear before summoning a massive fireball from its hand. Kojiro uses his reinforcement to leap away from the massive fireball. As he jumps away, he looks to the side and sees Yasaka fighting the swordsman mannequin with her Fox Fire and her fist.
He snapped from his thought when the mannequin in front of him released another barrage of fireballs. Kojiro can dodge all of them easily. However, as he dodges to the right, Kojiro immediately ducks down from a spear that just missed his head. Without hesitation, Kojiro charges toward the mannequin and does a quick slash at its chest. Seeing the mannequin guard break, Kojiro immediately thrust his spear at the mannequin.
The mannequin just barely blocked his attack with its spear. Kojiro then quickly takes back his spear and then does another thrust toward his enemy. However, to his surprise, the mannequin summons a sword and quickly blocks his attack.
He then immediately leap away from the mannequin and see it holding both spear and sword on its hands. As Kojiro ready to attack once more, his danger sense begins to scream at him to dodge, so he does just that. As he leaps away from his previous location, he sees another mannequin try to sneak on him. The mannequin is the same as the mannequin he fought before. He then suddenly remembers that the Assassin class inside the training chamber has a skill of cloning. Lucky for him, it can only use one clone, but unfortunately for him, it has a B+ rank in presence concealment. It also only has half of the physical ability of the original.
He charges at the mannequin once again and makes a quick thrust attack at the mannequin and then creates a fire rune above him then fires it at the mannequin. He can see his magic attack is getting blocked by the mannequin, so he activates True Longinus's ability and fires a holy blast at it. As his light cannon hit the mannequin, it then caused an explosion and threw the mannequin away.
Without wasting any time, Kojiro jumps high above the place where the mannequin gets thrown off and then activates the light projection to blast the mannequin once again. However, before the blast can hit the mannequin, a massive magic circle appears around the mannequin and faces the holy explosion head-on. He can see the barrier getting destroyed one by one by the holy explosion, and when his holy beam disappears, there is only one barrier left of twenty of them.
As Kojiro tries to finish the fight by killing the mannequin, the clone appears from behind and thrust his spear at him. Kojiro can block the attack, but the clone suddenly summons a sword and uses it to try to attack him from the side. Quickly, Kojiro uses his magecraft and creates a stone wall between him and the clone.
After creating the stone wall, Kojiro immediately charges at the real body of the clone and extends the spear at the mannequin. As the spear stabbed the mannequin, he saw it was not doing any fatal damage; however, it was enough for him as he coated the Longinus with holy aura before doing a slash attack killing the mannequin instantly.
He then sees behind him the clone also crumble into dust after he successfully kills the real mannequin.
He looks to the side and sees Yasaka still fighting the mannequin by setting it on fire, but unfortunately for her, the mannequin is sturdy.
"Do you need help?!?"
"No. Thanks!"
Hearing Yasaka was saying that Kojiro decides to sit down on the floor and take out some refreshment from his Pocket Dimension.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After half an hour, Yasaka successfully kills the mannequin without using her true form. When they finished training, Kojiro healed her with his magecraft and asked her.
"Do you still want to try the army mode?"
"... No, let's not do that. While I have the confidence to defeat the next challenge with my true form, but in this form, I don't think I can finish the challenge."
"Very well."
After healing Yasaka, Kojiro decides to take a bath before he cooks some breakfast. As he walks inside the bathroom, Yasaka decides to take a bath with him as well. While inside the bathroom, they do some foreplay making their bathtime take longer than it should be. They finished cleaning their body at 5 AM as their bathroom activity took 45 minutes to finish.
He then goes to the kitchen and begins to prepare some breakfast. While cooking the food, Yasaka says.
"Kojiro-kun, don't forget to cook some food for our travel to the other world."
"Oh, right."
Kojiro almost forgot that he promised Yasaka is to take her to the other world. He then begins to cook many kinds of food and places them inside his Pocket Dimension.
As he takes breakfast on the table, he sees Yasaka walk down from the upstairs and with her is Sakura and Kunou still half awake. After they eat their breakfast, Kojiro lets the children take a bath while he walks inside his workshop and takes out his newly replaced sword cannon that gets destroyed by Damsel of Distress not too long ago. He also takes a few hundred runestones for Yasaka, Kunou, and Sakura while he knows that this can be called overboard, but he doesn't want something to happen to the children.
When he sees Yasaka and the children already finished packing (by stuffing all their items inside the Pocket Dimension), Kojiro opens up a portal to the place where Yasaka and Kunou can learn a few techniques with their chakra.
"This will be our family vacation."
