Chapter 36: I Learned About Lise’s Past ①

Translated by AmaLynne

Edited by AmaLynne

「Hm~mm! It’s been a while since I’ve properly moved my body.」

When Sam and Lise arrived at the forest, they hunted monsters and magical beasts at random.

Strangely enough, the inhabitants of the forest were ready to fight and attacked Sam.

However, Sam’s turn to fight was few and far between, as Lise sliced through all the monsters with swords.

「I didn’t get a chance to play, did I?」

「My, Sam has an important role to play. Yes, you can sell this monster for a lot of money, so put it in storage.」

「Just because I have an item box doesn’t mean you have to treat people like useful tools.」

「I’ve asked my sister a few times, but she wouldn’t go hunting with me.」

「I think Ur would say it’s too much trouble.」

「It’s worse than that. She said she will burn down the whole forest, and she actually tried it once.」

「You’re such an extremist, Ur.」

Sam, who was not really needed in battle, was very active after that, thanks to the Item Box he received from his master.

(Well, no matter how many high-priced monsters you hunt, there’s a limit to how much you can carry around. In that sense, Item Boxe is unbeatable.)

At the moment, it’s unclear how much stuff it can hold.

Sam tried to find out, but there was too little on hand for him to check.

However, since it could hold the bodies of the monsters we had defeated so far, it seemed to have a lot of storage space.

「Now that we’ve stored the monsters, let’s have lunch.」

「Right. I’m so hungry after all that exercise. By the way, Sam.」

「What is it?」

「Do you know how to cook?」

「Yes, I can. I’ve moved around a lot with Ur, so I can at least learn to cook for myself.」

Ur could cook at least a little, but she was a rough cook, so Sam prepared her meals for her.

Half of the trip was spent eating at inns and restaurants, but there were also many times when they camped out.

Sam’s adventures with Ur were no problem, as he had lived alone in a previous life and could handle the housework.

In fact, he has fond memories of being forced into cooking duty by Ur.

「I’m glad to hear it. I’m not proud of it, but I can’t cook.」

「……I bet.」

「Hey! What do you mean,「I bet」? Don’t make it sound like I can’t cook!」

「But you can’t cook, can you?」

「No, I can’t. But don’t get me wrong. It’s not as if I can’t do it. It’s just that if I have to wield a knife, it’s easier to wield a sword.」

「You don’t usually wield a knife.」

「It’s a figure of speech! That’s not what I meant! Anyway, it’s not that I can’t cook, but my mother and the head chef have asked me not to. So let’s give Sam the honor of preparing lunch.」

「Right~」

「Fufu, good.」

Pardon, but Sam hadn’t originally expected Lise to be able to cook.

Not because of her skills, but he just didn’t expect a young lady from a county family surrounded by servants to cook for herself.

There are many noblewomen who can’t do housework.

Or rather, they don’t need to.

「Just so you know, I can do all the housework except cooking.」

「…Well, if that’s what Lise-sama says, then that’s what it is.」

「Hey, Sam! You don’t believe me!」

「No way. I would never suspect you… of anything?」

「That’s suspicious!」

While joking with each other, Sam skillfully dismantled the edible monster with his knife.

Although Sam is not a talented swordsman, he has learned over the past four years that he can use a knife just fine.

But when it comes to combat, he can’t use a knife at all, and can’t even throw properly, which makes me laugh.

「Let’s cook some meat.」

「I’m looking forward to it.」

Sam took out a net and salt and pepper from the Item Box and started a fire.

After seasoning the meat lightly, place it on the net and you’re ready to go.

The fire sears the meat and the oil drips down.

The fragrant smell tickled my nostrils and my stomach began to move.

「It’s a little late but, Lise-sama.」

「What is it?」

「I have a knife and fork and a plate. Do you want to use them?」

「You don’t understand. This kind of meat tastes better when you take a big bite out of it.」

「That’s true, but… I don’t think it’s good to let a Lady chew on the meat grilled over a direct fire.」

Sam was still worried that her husband and wife would be angry with him later.

But Lise just smiled happily.

「You see, I told you that I had a nighttime camp as part of my training. I’m not a boxed-in young lady, so I’m not afraid of that.」

「That’s right. You’re Lise-sama, right?」

「My. I’m curious about the way you said that. What do you mean? Are you trying to call me a tomboy?」

「……Oh, the meat is cooked. Here is the delicious part.」

「Thank you―――but not, stop fooling around and speak up, Sam!」

Sam and Lise laughed at each other as if they were real siblings.

Sam, who had been depressed by the loss of his beloved teacher, was grateful to Lise for allowing him to spend time with her in a way that he truly enjoyed.
