"Hey, Sam! Let's go hunting!"

"Heh? Hunting, sir?"

As Sam was getting ready after breakfast, Lise came into his rented room without knocking and said with a lively face.

"Aren't you bored just training in the garden? Then let's get to work, practice!"

After a few days of training with Liese, I found out that this young lady was quite a tomboy.

Her behavior was dignified because she had studied swordsmanship, but she could not keep still or was childish.

Sam liked Lise.

It was easier and more enjoyable to be in a relationship with someone like Lise, who was full of energy, than with someone who was uptight.

So there was no reason to refuse her invitation.

"Okay. Do you know of any good hunting grounds?"

"I recommend the forest west of King's Landing. It doesn't have very strong monsters, but it's an excellent hunting ground.

"Heh."

"I used to go to that forest when I was a student of Kensei-sama's dojo. I miss it. I survived with just a sword. ...... We had to get food and a place to sleep locally."

"You are very strong, Lise."

"This is nothing if you learn to use a sword under the sword saint. But those who didn't have the guts quit quickly.

It is said that becoming a disciple of a sword saint is a status among the nobility.

There are many people who simply want to learn swordsmanship, like Liese, and others who become apprentices in order to gain a reputation.

It is said that Kensei do not sift through applicants, but accept them.

However, there were too many who could not keep up with the rigorous and demanding training, especially the nobles who became apprentices because of their status.

(Well, it's not likely that a noble lad can survive in the forest with only a sword, is it? (Well, it's not like a noble lad could survive in the woods with only a sword, is it? I wouldn't like it either.)

It's not impossible, but I don't want to be a willing survivor.

In the first place, I wonder what survival with a sword has to do with swordsmanship.

"Well then, let's get going!

"What? Right now? Ready to go!"

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? We can get water and food locally."

"Ew! Let's at least bring our own lunch!"

"You're wasting time waiting for someone to make you lunch! If Sam and I leave now, we can be there and back in time for dinner!"

"That's true, but..."

Sam, who can use body enhancement magic, and of course Liese, who has insane strength and legs without magic, would be able to get around faster by running on their own feet than by riding in a carriage.

Sam aside, Liese is truly out of the ordinary.

Sam wonders if this is what happens to everyone who attends a kensei's dojo.

"That's why we have to bring our own food. Let's go!

"Hey, at least let me make the minimum preparations! We are hunting, what if something happens!

We'll be fine.

That's not appropriate.

"Oh, it's not random. We've looked at our abilities and determined that a forest of that size is not a problem. I can live in this forest by myself for a few days. So let's go!

Cautious Sam wanted to be at least minimally prepared, but Liese overruled him.

She was already itching to hunt.

As a matter of fact, there is always a minimum amount of water, food, and a tent in the item box.

Lise knows this.

(...... You don't think I'm just a handy toolbox, do you, Lise-sama? (Right?)

Despite some resistance, Sam was dragged by Lise toward the woods west of Count Walker's house.

Although he was surprised at the suddenness of the trip, Sam was excited to be able to move his body for the first time in a long time.
