Ch 141: Philia Vs. The Dummy

Bal’s family of three returned home, and Philia, upon entering, immediately threw herself onto the sofa.

“Darling, what’s wrong? Why are you lying on the sofa as soon as you got home?”

Nia sat next to Philia and held her in her arms.

“I went to school today, it was so interesting!”

“Is that so? Then what did you do on your first day of school?”

Nia pinched Philia’s little face, a doting expression on her face.

“Philia fought with Father!”

“Pfft…”

Bal, who had just sat on the sofa and taken a sip of water, couldn’t help but spray water out when he heard Philia’s words. After wiping his mouth, he approached Philia.

“Philia, that wasn’t fighting, it was practice.”

“Philia practiced fighting with Father!”

Nia was amused by Philia’s childlike innocence. She stroked Philia’s little head, then lifted Philia up and gave her a big kiss on her face.

“Did your father not bully you?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not the kind of person who would bully children.”

“Really? I remember you seemed to have bullied me quite a bit when you first met me.”

Bal wanted to argue, but Phia sat beside Nia, putting on a pitiful look and complaining to Nia.

“This Dumb Dog, when he first saw me, he thought I was a child, and he bullied me all along the way. I had a hard time, Nia, you have to help me get justice!”

“If your crying and tone of voice were more genuine, I would believe you.”

Bal looked at Phia’s fake crying and overacting, and ruthlessly criticized her poor acting skills.

“Ehey～”

“Speaking of which, this should be Philia’s first time touching a weapon, how come you’re so skilled?”

Bal ignored Phia’s cuteness. He looked at Philia, recalling Philia’s fierce attacks that afternoon, which were inconsistent with her appearance. Every move was aimed at vital points, and she even knew how to strike joints. This wasn’t something a five-year-old could do.

“Because I often watch Father practice in the backyard, and I learned by watching and touching the weapons.”

Upon hearing this, Nia became interested. She hugged Philia and looked at Bal.

“Older Brother, I want to see how Philia uses weapons.”

“Ask Philia, if she agrees, I agree.”

“Darling, is that okay?”

Nia looked down at Philia, who was playing with her tail. After hearing this, Philia nodded to indicate that it was okay. So Nia carried Philia to the backyard, and Phia, fearing her daughter might get hurt, also went out.

In the backyard, Nia placed Philia in front of the dummy Bal usually used. She handed Philia one of Bal’s usual wooden swords, but she saw Philia shaking her head.

“Philia wants to use a greatsword. This sword looks unusable.”

Nia and Phia were both stunned when they heard this. A child not using a short sword or a one-handed sword, but actually using a greatsword, isn’t that a bit too fierce?

But how could the two child-loving women refuse Philia’s request? Phia went back into the house, regardless of whether Bal agreed or not, she pinned Bal down and took the short sword from his waist. Bal lay on the sofa, weeping silently.

“If you want a short sword, just say so. It’s not like I wouldn’t give it to you. You hurt me, woo woo woo.”

“This is revenge.”

After saying that, Phia hopped back to the backyard with the short sword. She asked Nia to get a thick wooden plank from the warehouse, she planned to make a weapon specifically for Philia.

After a period of busy work, a wooden greatsword suitable for Philia was completed. Bal heard some noises and came to the backyard. He sat with Philia on a chair in the gazebo. After Phia imbued the weapon with magic, a delicate and sturdy children’s greatsword was completed. Seeing the greatsword in Phia’s hand, Philia’s eyes sparkled, and she ran to Phia’s side.

“Mama, is this for me?”

“Yes, do you like it?”

“I like it! Thank you, Mama, mua～”

Philia kissed Phia. At this time, a certain pink-haired fox who had been ignored by Philia began to look forward to it.

“Philia, you should also thank Nia.”

Phia and Nia understood each other. She held Philia’s shoulders and turned her towards Nia. Philia naturally wouldn’t be stingy with her kisses. She kissed Nia on the face, which made Nia very satisfied.

“Sister Nia, thank you～”

“Ah～What a cute little thing! Hey, Older Brother, why don’t you give this child to me?”

“Get married first!”

Bal sat in the gazebo and started to sneer, anyway, there was no door here, so he wasn’t afraid of Nia making another dash for the door.

After hearing Bal’s words, Nia was about to become angry, but was interrupted by Phia. Nia’s mischievous radar started beeping. She knew Phia had a bad idea to play on Bal.

Phia casually threw Bal’s short sword. The blade of the short sword flew past Bal’s cheek and pierced straight into the gazebo pillar behind Bal. At this moment, Bal was sweating on his forehead and back, but he heard Phia’s emotionless exclamation.

“Oops, the short sword slipped from my hand, what should I do, Husband, are you okay?”

Bal knew immediately that Phia was up to something. He shouted towards Phia.

“What do you mean I’m okay? Your husband almost got a headshot!”

“Mama, is Father okay?”

Philia looked at Phia with the greatsword in her hand. She was a little worried about Bal.

“It’s okay, Father is fine.”

Then Phia turned her head, her eyes full of fierce light as she looked at Bal.

“You said so, Fa～ther～”

“Y-Yes…Yes!”

After threatening Bal, Phia and Nia tidied up the area for Philia. Philia stood in front of the dummy with the greatsword, waiting for Nia’s orders.

“Philia, you can start now.”

Hearing Nia’s words, Philia stood calmly with her eyes closed. She recalled the moves Bal had taught her, then she immediately raised the greatsword and slashed diagonally at the dummy. Philia rotated her body with the inertia of the swinging greatsword, using one foot as a pivot, and quickly kicked the dummy with the other foot. After the kick, Phia also kicked the dummy to create distance, then Philia slashed the dummy’s shoulder again. She used her wrist strength, jumped up with both feet, using the greatsword as a fulcrum, and landed with a fierce five-strike combo on the dummy’s back.

Nia saw that Philia, at such a young age, could use the greatsword so skillfully. After Philia put the greatsword back on the weapon rack, she picked Philia up and walked to Bal.

“Older Brother, let me teach Philia how to use the greatsword?”

Bal thought for a moment. Although Nia was definitely not as good as him in terms of overall strength, in terms of greatsword use alone, Nia was still better than him. So Bal nodded in agreement.

Seeing Bal’s agreement, Nia happily carried Philia back into the house. Bal watched Nia and Philia happily, and he smiled as well.

“What are you smiling foolishly about, Dumb Dog.”

Phia walked to Bal’s side, and Bal embraced Phia when he saw her.

“A little cat was very naughty just now, what happened?”

Phia was held by Bal but didn’t struggle. She looked at Bal charmingly.

“Don’t you like it?”

“I love it.”

Bal kissed Phia’s lips, and the two embraced, feeling each other’s breath. Just as Bal was getting excited and ready to go further, Phia stopped him.

“Not outside.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to my wife’s arrangement.”

Bal carried Phia back to the room. Just as they were about to go upstairs to their room, Xiaoyue and Selena stopped them.

“It’s time to eat, what are you doing?”

Bal glanced at Phia, then at Philia, who was already waiting for them at the dinner table, and he could only carry Phia to the dinner table to eat first.

After dinner, Bal asked Nia to watch Philia, and he carried Phia into the bathroom. The two took a bath for more than an hour before coming out. When they came out, Phia was still being carried in a princess carry by Bal. Nia and Grey looked at this pair of foolish couple, and they only hoped that Philia would not be influenced by these parents.

That night, in their bedroom, there was singing and dancing and the fragrance of flowers and birds. It seemed that the two had a wonderful night.
