After that, Sam and the others had a good conversation with Kurando and Mizuki.

Only Haren was not able to engage in much conversation due to her limited vocabulary, and she seemed sleepy.

I noticed that they had been talking for about 30 minutes already.

Most of the conversation was about Liese's memories of her time at the dojo, but it was a pleasant time for Sam to learn about a side of his fiancée that he had never known.

"--Lise, it is a pleasure to talk with you like this, but you have come all the way to the dojo. Would you like to have a hand-to-hand combat with me after a long time?"

Liese rolled her eyes at the unexpected proposal of the swordsmith, and the word "hand-to-hand" made her sleepiness disappear.

"Of course, you are welcome to join us, Hualien-dono. You've been wanting to fight me for a while now, and I'm sorry if I'm boring you too much.

"......Mr. Hualian."

"Sorry. But - if you've been invited, there's no reason to refuse."

Hualien stands up triumphantly, fist to fist, and smirks.

He still loves to fight," Sam sighs, and then Kensei calls out to him.

"What about you, Samuel?"

"No, I'm a magician, so I don't think I can fight in the dojo.

"Liese has been teaching you the art of bodybuilding, hasn't she? I hear that you are quite good at close combat using body enhancement magic."

"...... hahahaha."

Sam laughed deceptively.

He likes learning magic, but he does not have the battle junkie desire to fight anyone strong like Hualien does.

I will fight if I have to, and if I do, I will show no mercy or restraint, but I am not so battle-hungry that I want to fight unnecessarily.

(- and if you fight this person, you will not win even if you fight with all your might, or you may even want to fight beyond your might)

One of the reasons for his reluctance was that he was not confident that he would be able to finish the meeting as a hand-to-hand contest.

Perhaps sensing Sam's feelings, or perhaps he had other reasons, Kurando did not invite him any further.

"Ah, Samuel. Well then, will you meet Kotomi?"

It was Mizuki who made the suggestion on behalf of her father.

She shook her braids and smiled at me.

"Now, tell me and my sister about the Land of the Rising Sun," she said.

"...... Kotomi will be pleased. Samuel, if you don't mind, may I?"

"I would be happy to talk to you."

There is no reason to refuse.

Besides, Sam, as a wizard, was also concerned about the girl with too much magic power.

"Thank you. Mizuki, please show Samuel around. Please don't be rude.

"All right, all right. Come on, let's go."

Yes, sir. Well, Lise-sama, Karen-sama, I'm going to see Kotomi-sama."

Say hello to Kotomi-sama for me.

See you later."

He nodded to both of them, stood up, bowed to Mizuki and left for the dojo.

They walked down the hallway of the mansion and up the stairs.

The mansion is spacious, as one would expect from a man who holds the title of "Kensei" (sword saint).

The maids that we passed on the way to the dojo, who seemed to be trained in some kind of martial arts, wore the air of fighters.

"I'm sure my sister will be very happy to see you. Actually, she is a fan of yours.

"Why are you such a fan?"

Sam was puzzled when Mizuki said such a thing while walking.

He did not remember doing anything that would make him a fan.

Mizuki laughed and continued.

"You appeared out of nowhere in King's Landing, claiming to be Ulrike Scheidt-Walker's apprentice, took the title from the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye, and single-handedly fought the dragon that tried to attack King's Landing. Sounds like the hero of a story, doesn't it?"

"I don't know if it's like that. There have been so many things that have happened in such a short time.

A lot has happened in the two months since I arrived in King's Landing.

I came to King's Landing in the depths of disappointment, but now I think it may have been my late master's guidance.

Thanks to him, I met my loved ones, my family, and my friends.

I envy you a little bit.

"Mizuki-sama?"

"I know that I will be teaching swordsmanship in this dojo in the future. Even if the successor is someone other than me, what I have to do will not change. That also means that I had no other choice.

"Do you have doubts about your future?"

At Sam's question, Mizuki shook her head in denial.

"Oh, I'm sorry I gave you the wrong idea. I like swordsmanship and I'm proud of my position as a master. After all, I like teaching swordsmanship to others. But - since I've only had a sword since I was a child, I sometimes think about a different future.

(Perhaps you have some thoughts about not being the heir to the Sword Saint?)

I couldn't say it out loud, but that's what I thought.

According to Liese, Mizuki is the best of the disciples of the swordsmith.

If so, I don't know why she was excluded from the candidates for the successor.

Probably, Mizuki herself may have this question.

The good relationship between father and daughter may be the reason for her doubts.

"I envy you, Mizuki-sama."

"Me?"

I have no talent for swordsmanship.

"I hear so. From what I've heard, you can't even hold a stance?

"I can hold it, but then it falls apart.

Sam shrugged his shoulders and said so, and Mizuki laughed amusedly.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha. I'd like to see that. I think you're talented in a way, aren't you?"

"Unfortunately, it looks like it's only for laughs."

Sam was relieved to see Mizuki, who had looked a little gloomy earlier, laughing out loud.

It's not easy to get involved in the affairs of a family, and I'm not sure if I should step into such a delicate subject.

Sam moved around the house with Mizuki, talking about other things as if to change the topic of conversation.
