"Oh, right, it's time for lunch."
Sakihara Yishin let go of A-chai, allowing it to run to Uesugi Sakura, then turned to Uesugi Shio who was still practicing and said, "Shio, it's time for lunch."
"You guys go ahead, I still have fifty more swings to complete."
Wearing a ponytail, short sleeves, and shorts, Uesugi Shio swung the wooden sword cleanly and efficiently, her forehead glistening with beads of sweat.
"Eating is also a part of sword practice, and it's the most important part!" Uncle Sakihara continued.
"Sigh~ Okay." The steaming Uesugi Shio exhaled, setting down the wooden sword in her hand.
"I get the feeling you're working really hard, Shio. Is there a goal you're eager to achieve?"
"Yes, I have one."
Sakihara Yishin didn't press further about her goal, because he always felt there were things this girl held tightly in her heart.
