"We didn't find any grimoires, did we?

Sam, who had just finished eating his icy snack, grumbled in disappointment.

He went to several bookstores and came across some grimoires, but the contents were boring.

According to the owner of the bookstore, it was impossible for a hard-core writer of grimoires to write anything interesting.

In fact, most of the grimoires were only about magic and boasting.

The former is aside, we do not need the latter.

"I wonder if there are many wizards who buy and read grimoires? I thought there would be more."

Lise's question was answered by Karen, who had finished her second bowl of ice cream.

"I had so many grimoires at home that I didn't need to buy any."

"So that's how it is. But we have a lot of grimoires too. Maybe because your father was a magician and your grandfather was a magician.

"Oh. Lise-sama's grandfather was also a magician, wasn't he?"

Yes. He was a very good man. He was very friendly with me, but very strict with my father."

I had never heard of the previous head of the Earl Walker family.

But I could tell that the family had been producing wizards for generations.

Ulle, Jonathan, and Erika are all excellent wizards, and Erika is a promising wizard.

"Nobles often have parents teach their children or hire wizards to learn basic magic."

"I knew it."

"It is the commoners who study on their own."

"I see."

"You can learn it in school. Children who can use magic are sometimes exempted from tuition fees, so many children learn magic that way."

Haren's words remind me of a magic school.

As I recall, Erika also attended a school with a magic department.

Sam has never been to school.

He was trained in a practical way by an excellent teacher named Ur, so he did not need to go to school.

It may sound bad to say, but the experience gained through actual combat was more important to Sam than classroom learning.

However, this was not the case with Kotomi.

"School or ......, Kotomi can't leave the house in the first place. I've learned all the rudimentary magic too, but I don't know how to teach it to her."

"Why don't you ask your grandmother?"

It was Hualian who offered help to Sam in his distress.

"What?"

"Hmm... Grandma has a lot of grimoires. Many of them I've never even read. Maybe there's a grimoire just right for you.

"Are you sure?"

When Sam asked, Hualien gave him a thumbs-up.

"For a promising wizard, you're more than welcome."

"I look forward to working with you."

"Hmm. I'll leave it to you."

"Thanks to Hualien, the grimoire problem may be solved. Thank you, Karen."

"Don't worry about it. I want to do things for her, too.

A grateful Sam and Lise.

It seemed that Haren was also concerned about Kotomi, and she was glad to hear that.

Feeling at ease, the three sit down to continue shopping.

"Earlier, I saw a store with a nice sword on display. I'd like to go there next time.

"Well, can't you at least wear shoes or clothes there?"

"Oh, my, it's a really nice sword. Sam will like it when he sees it.

No, no, no, I mean...

It's like Lise, a swordsman, to be interested in swords instead of clothes, but it's just not the same.

(Well, if it's OK with Lise-sama, it's OK with me.)

In the end, Hualien was also interested in weapons, and the three of them headed for a nearby store.

At the arms shop, Liese spent a long time staring at a long sword.

It seems that she wants to buy a sword, but the price is too expensive.

However, it is a very good sword, and I don't know when I will be able to find it again.

Liese is conflicted, so Sam buys her a sword as a souvenir of their date.

"Thank you, Sam!"

Lise hugs me and kisses me on the cheek.

Sam tilted his head, wondering if it was a good idea to give her a long sword as her first present, but he decided it was okay as long as his cute fiancée was happy with it.

In a way, it was just like Liese.

(It was nice to see Lise-sama's happy face.)

By the way, the price was quite expensive.

"Sam, me too."

Haren starts to beg Lise to buy a new one if she can get one.

She greedily points her finger at a knuckle guard displayed in the new items section.

It is also quite expensive, and is the same price as the long sword I gave Lise.

It seems to have been made by a well-known craftsman and is a one-of-a-kind item.

"As a thank you for giving me a date."

I'll send it to you, won't I? I'll send you a ...... grimoire to help you with that, yes, I understand."

In the end, I decided to send a gift to Hualien as well.

"Wow!"

She didn't change her expression, but I don't think it was my imagination that her lips seemed to be more relaxed than usual.

I pay the shopkeeper, who seems pleased to have sold two expensive weapons, and put them away in the item box so that they won't interfere with our date.

After leaving the store, the three of them continue to enjoy shopping around the stalls and window-shopping.

On the way, Sam sees a handkerchief for sale at a clothing store.

The white handkerchief with blue roses on it reminded them of Stella, so they bought one.

He decides to send it with his letter tomorrow.

Sam and his friends go out before noon, but it is already dusk.

"Shall we go back to the house now?

"Yes. --It was fun, Sam. Let's come back."

"Of course."

Sam was very happy to see Lise smile so much.

I'd go on a date like this again and again.

"Thanks for the present."

"No problem. I'm indebted to you, Ms. Karen."

"Hmm."

Regardless of what Haren thinks of herself, it's nice to know that she gets to meet with her every day.

Thanks to both of them, Lise with her sword and Karen with her empty hands, Sam's skill has improved again.

It is a small way for me to give something back to them.

"Okay, let's go home."

Lise shook Sam's hand.

That's when it happened.

"Oh, it's Lise, isn't it?"

An unfamiliar man's voice echoed through the bustle of the castle town.
