Chapter 9: Train me
-Timeskip in the morning-
As the first light of dawn gradually breaks over the horizon, illuminating my bedroom with its soft, warm glow, I slowly peel myself away from the comforting embrace of my blankets. Stretching my limbs to shake off the remnants of sleep, I embark on my carefully crafted morning routine, a set of rituals that help me prepare for the day ahead. First, I shuffle into my bathroom, where I splash cool water on my face to awaken my senses, followed by a thorough brushing of my teeth. Then, I take a moment to groom my hair, ensuring it falls neatly into place.
Afterward, I head to the kitchen, where the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, a delightful promise of the energy I'll need. I pour myself a steaming mug, enjoying those first few sips as I mentally outline my plans for the day. With my caffeine fix completed, I whip up a simple yet nourishing breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast, the familiar routine bringing comfort as the day begins to unfold.
With breakfast finished and the dishes tidied up, I finally make my way out of the room, the hallway stretching out before me. It's then that I encounter Katsume, my younger sister, who is standing there with a thoughtful expression on her face, her eyes brightening when she sees me.
"Oh, good morning!" she exclaims cheerfully, her voice tinged with a hint of excitement.
I yawn in response, still shaking off the last vestiges of sleep. "Morning! What brings you here so early?"
In a surprisingly earnest tone, Katsume asks, "Can you train me, big bro?"
Her request catches me completely off guard. The thought of my little sister wanting me to be her trainer has never crossed my mind, but now that she brings it up, I find myself intrigued.
"Huh?" I reply, my brow furrowing in confusion. "You really want me to train you?"
Katsume, with determination in her eyes, remarked with a hint of admiration in her voice, "You heard me correctly. After witnessing your impressive battle against that villain, I felt a surge of inspiration and a strong desire to learn those skills for myself as well." She continued, her eyes reflecting determination, "It was incredible to see how you handled the situation with such courage and precision. The way you moved, the techniques you employed—it all sparked something within me. I've always wanted to be able to stand up for myself and help others, and your bravery in that moment made me realize that I can pursue those goals too."
Calming myself, I try to understand her motivation. "What for?" I inquire, genuinely curious about her reasoning.
Katsume pauses for a moment, pondering her response with a serious expression before answering, "I guess it's because your martial arts looks really cool, big bro! Plus, it could be fun, so why not?" With a hint of curiosity in her voice, Katsume eagerly inquired, "So, would you be willing to teach me those impressive moves I've seen you perform?"
I let out a resigned sigh, realizing that her interest was genuine but also a bit overwhelming. "Well," I began, "those techniques are known as martial arts, a discipline steeped in tradition and practice." Pausing for a moment to gather my thoughts, I continued, "But sure, if you're really interested, I suppose I can show you a few of the basics. Just keep in mind that it takes a lot of time and dedication to master them."
Her face lights up with genuine happiness, and she beams at me. "Yay! So, when do we begin?"
"I suppose we can start at 7 o'clock," I suggest calmly, wanting to ensure we have enough time to get into a groove without rushing.
"That works perfectly for me!" she replies, her excitement palpable. "I'll see you soon, big bro!"
As she skips away, I can't help but smile at her enthusiasm, eager to see how this new chapter in our sibling relationship unfolds.
