Tsuda and Tsuporo short story

Tsuda Echizen No Kami Sukehiro and Tsuporo Sukehiro


In Osaka Shinsaibashi, also know as "Minami", exist a private school where sword priestess can teach.

Sword priestess possess high physical abilities and boast of an abundant knowledge from they're long life.
I wonder if them teaching peoples will become popular in the whole world...
It is our role to observe and judge it.

In a street surrounded by wooden building, a young girl is running with light bags hanging from both hands.

[Mom, I'm Home!]

the girl entered the building considered as a private school.

[Beef cost too much, so tonight we eat cow with the hotpot.]
[Welcome home Tsu-chan, Ara ara, what a treat... Wait, you are covered in dirt.]

When looking into the building, a woman of mature age is heading to the desk in the back.
According to a specialty book, that woman is Tsuporo Sukehiro, the girl that call her mother is certainly... yes, Tsuda Echizen No Kami Sukehiro.
They are both sword priestess that received life from Meishou Sukehiro.

[Yup! The apples from the neighborhood arrived, but i endured it, since i am sword priestess!]
[Ara ara, Tsu-chan is such a clever girl, you properly listened to what i told you.]
[Yup! Sword priestess exist for the sake of the world and of others, that's why we must only use our power for good things.]
[Yes, correct answer, but I'm still worried you came home covered in mud...]
[I'm sorry Mom! I will do my best so don't worry!]
[It's a promise, then shall we study until the rice is ready?]

In this story I'm writing about the two of them, that teacher is only teaching this one student.
Tsuporo is teaching history to Tsuda.

[Hey Mom, my ears are red like octopus with always learning about sword priestess. I want to learn normal things about us!]
[Don't call me Mom, right now call me Soboro sensei.]
[But i rather call you Mom... And we are alone anyway, everyone left for school already.]

As we entered the Shoji era, the diffusion of schools progressed, and many Terakoya (Temple school) and private schools where closed in exchange.
If you have a title, it's now natural to have the children go to a normal school instead of a private one or a Terakoya.
Because Soboro school is a private one, her only student is now Tsuda.

[I really like to study with Mom, but i want to study with everyone else too... i want to go to a school as well.]
[I understand Tsu-chan, but i'm sorry sword priestess can't---]
[Uwawawa! Don't cry Mom! I will study hard and become smarter, so don't cry!]

My concern was fear.
Tsuda learning on her own won't be conclusive.
Although sword priestess live in security, they aren't particularity concerned with it, that trend is quite persistent right now.
However at least, some places exist to teach sword priestess.

[Tsu-chan, i will also do my best so let's study hard together!]
[Of course! By studying together i will become much smarter!]
