TEASER CHAPTER 6 - PAST 2
Many
years have passed since Nozomu and Ken decided to support Lisa's dream that
night. Nozomu and Ken were now fourteen years old, and their appearance had
changed considerably from the days when they were children. Both Nozomu and Ken
grew taller and their bodies became more and more like those of grown men. Ken,
who had looked like a girl when he was a child, was gradually becoming a
handsome man with a good face and a boyish body. However, it was also true that
the chores he had to do at home increased as he got bigger.
Nozomu
was now about to start maintaining the farming tools that he used to plow the
fields. No matter how soft the soil was, it was not uncommon to find hard
stones mixed in with it. Every time this happened, the hoe blade got damaged,
and the more he used it, the worse it got.
Moreover,
some of the hoes he used were made of wood. Certainly, the metal ones were
easier to use and plow better, but they were a bit more expensive.
"If
we don't hurry, we'll run out of time..."
Nozomu
wanted to finish his work and get to the top of the hill quickly.
But
it wasn't for playing. After deciding to support Lisa's dream, Nozomu and Ken
had been training on that hill.
However,
it was not like they could do much. They just beat each other with wooden
sticks.
They
had to do chores at home, and because it was a small village with few people.
There was a lot of work to be done.
Nozomu
told his parents about his training on the hill and his desire to become an
adventurer, but his father was angry and told him to just help out at home. His
mother didn't take it well either, even though she said it was fine.
Even
so, they kept training. If they could help Lisa even a little by doing so. It
was a thought that filled their hearts.
"Um
... I have to take care of this hoe for
the time being"
As
Nozomu picked up the hoe with the rattling blade and was about to start his
work, he was suddenly called from behind.
"Nozomu,
yahhoo~!"
"L-Lisa,
did you come?"
Nozomu
was about to start maintaining his farming tools when he was startled by her
sudden appearance.
Lisa
stuck her tongue out with a mischievous smile on her face.
Her
body was covered in mud and she looked like a mischievous little boy, but she
had gradually started to grow out her short hair and now had fine crimson hair
flowing down her back.
Her
appearance had also changed from the time when she was indistinguishable from a
bad boy, and her white silky skin and strong-willed eyes shone.
Her
body is still a little young, but she is gradually showing signs of a feminine
figure. Lisa is blossoming as a woman, but her mischievous smile remains
unchanged.
When
he looked at Lisa's face, Nozomu's heart was beating louder than ever. His face
heated up and his head began to get hot.
"W-What's
wrong? Coming to a place like this."
"Um.
I was just delivering milk to Aunt Ashima, but when I was about to go home, I
saw Nozomu doing something."
