She held on to the broom just like Kazuma told her to, she didn't know how Kazuma knew how to do so many things only that he knew how to do them and this was just one more thing that he knew how to do.

She stopped sweeping the floor for a moment and picked up a small rock that she found and held it for a moment before she threw it and ran towards where the rock landed

One day she would copy Kazuma's skill and show him that she could do it too.

They had been working since they left the hotel and in that time she had seen Kazuma do all sorts of things, he created balls of light when they had to go into places that were too dark and scared her.

She had seen him make fire and water come out of his hands without doing anything with his hands like every other ninja did.

Then she remembered that Kazuma said that he was an Adventurer so maybe that was why he didn't do anything with his hands.

"Okay it's all clean now." she hears Kazuma say to the woman that hired them, she was about to say something but then she noticed a mouse watching them from behind a restaurant sign.

She looked at the mouse and it looked at her, but before she could do or say anything it vanished in a puff of smoke.

"So apparently we just have to go back to the ark and we get paid and after that, we get you one of those forehead protectors, and you're officially an adventurer," Kazuma says to her and they both hear the woman let out a gasp.

The two of them turn to look at the woman who covers her mouth as if she heard something that she shouldn't have.

"Young man don't even joke about that, how can you give such a thing to that child?" the woman says to Kazua.

"Because to be an adventurer you just need to find work do it and get paid, that's it." Kazuma answers the woman who immediately frowns and starts to walk towards him, they both could hear the sounds of her feet as she stomps towards them.

"Come with me young man." the woman angrily says to Kazuma before she turns to look at her.

"Please come with us, this is for you too." the woman says to her but with a friendly voice.

The two of them follow the woman to a dojo that has a Samurai painted outside of it.

The woman opened the door to the dojo and she immediately hears three girls say "Mom!" in cheerful voices.

"Not now." the woman answers the girls before she turns and looks at Kazuma with cold eyes. "Pick a weapon and come back out, show me how strong you are." she orders him.

'What?" Kazuma says to her.

"Don't make me repeat myself, this entire area is for my students to train so no one will get hurt." the woman says to Kazuma, and Kazuma doesn't bother going inside he just takes a short sword that's on the table in front of him.

"Bring me a practice spear." the woman orders someone inside and she is soon holding what looks like a stick but one side of it is carved so that it looks like a knife is at the end of it.

"So why are we doing this?" Kazuma asks the woman.

"If you were older then you would understand." the woman says to him as they both walk away from the building.

The two of them begin to walk away from each other, until they both feel as if they walked far enough.

She can feel her hair beginning to warm up again and the seal on her forehead is starting to hurt again but she knows what this is, this is a duel, the guards use to tell her about them.

"Go Kazuma!" she yells as loud as she can.

'Go Mom!" a girl screams and when she turns to see who it was, she realizes that it's the three girls that were crying when Kazuma beat them.

She watches as the woman takes a deep breath and before she can even blink the woman has her spear where Kazuma was standing just a second earlier.

She can feel her heart nearly stop and her chest fills with fear, she wants to cry, but she doesn't see Kazuma anywhere and she is about to yell for him when she notices that Kazuma is standing next to the woman.

He quickly spins and tries to hit her with the sword [It's just a big knife ] but the woman blocks it and tries to grab Kazuma who jumps away before she can touch him.

'Interesting, no hand signs, no seals."

"An Uchiha, no they're all dead, maybe a Senju or perhaps something in between." the woman says to herself as she stares into Kazumas eyes.

Lilli can only widen her eyes when the woman vanished again and appeared directly in front of Kazuma but her spear or giant stick was somehow on fire.

She lets out a breath of shock when she sees a wall of ie grow in front of Kazuma, who somehow uses the cold air of the is to throw himself back, but the woman uses the tip of her spear to somehow spin herself towards him.

Lilli can't believe what she was seeing, the woman tried to hit Kazuma but he managed to bend his body and avoid her attack while he was still in the air.

"So that's your weakness." the woman says to Kazuma when she stops moving and watches him land in front of her.

'You can dodge and counterattack, but you can't directly attack, or maybe you know just how weak you are so you don't even try." she says as Lilli finds herself surrounded and the girls from earlier are now holding her.

She can feel the seal starting to hurt and her hair is starting to get warm again, but she's too afraid to stop it from getting hotter.

'Play along, mom is trying to teach him something.' one of the girls says to her, before she hands her a piece of chocolate.

Lilli hesitantly takes it and put it in her mouth she can't help but smile when the flavor spreads all over her tongue.

"I surrender you win." Kazuma says as he throws the sword onto the ground.

"Bad move kid." a man says and Lilli suddenly notices that a crowd of people had gathered.

"What now? you are unarmed and your sister, or whatever she is with you has been captured." the woman says to Kazuma who closes his eyes and smirks.

Lilli feels someone land on top of her and she feels that whoever fell on top of her managed to save her before she got hurt.

She can hear everyone laugh and then she feels someone pull everyone off her.

"I win." she hears the woman say as one of the girls helps her to her feet.

"Today was free but if you want that girl to survive, you are going to have to train her and with your level of skill, I'm afraid that it's only a miracle that you aren't dead." the woman says to Kazuma before she hands him the short sword.

"It's yours, maybe you can use it for something." she says to him before she walks into the dojo along with the three girls.
