"Hmmm! It's been a while since I've had a proper workout."
Once in the forest, Sam and Lise hunted monsters and magical beasts at random.
Strangely enough, the inhabitants of the forest were ready to fight and attacked Sam and his friends.
However, Sam was rarely in action, and Liese cut down all the monsters in one fell swoop with her serious sword.
"I didn't get a chance to fight, did I?
"Oh, Sam has an important role to play. Yes, this monster can be sold for a lot of money, so put it in storage.
"Just because you have an item box doesn't mean you have to treat people like useful tools."
"I've asked your sister a few times, but she wouldn't go with me on a hunt."
"I think Ur would say it's too much trouble."
"It's worse than that. He said we should burn the whole forest down, and once he really tried to do it.
"You're an extremist in every way, Ur."
Sam, who had been a child who was not needed in battle, was very active after that, thanks to the item box given to him by his master.
（Well, no matter how many high priced monsters you hunt, there is a limit to how much you can carry. In that sense, the item box is invincible.)
At the moment, it is unclear how much stuff can be stored.
I tried to find out, but there was no way to check with what I had on hand.
However, since it can hold the remains of monsters that have been killed so far, it seems to have a considerable amount of space for storage.
"Well, now that we have stored the monsters, it's time to have lunch."
"Right. I'm hungry after all that exercise. By the way, Sam.
What is it?
Can you cook?
I can do that. I've been traveling around with Ur, so I can at least learn to cook for myself.
Ur could cook at least a little, but he was a rough cook, so Sam prepared the meals for him.
Half of the trip was spent eating at inns and diners, but there were also many times when they were camped out.
Sam had no problem with this, not only because of his adventures with Ur, but also because he had lived alone in a previous life and could do household chores.
In fact, it is a good memory that Ur was so fortunate as to put him in charge of cooking duty.
I'm glad you're okay with that. I'm not proud of it, but I can't cook.
"...... I'm sure."
"Hey! What do you mean, "I'm sure"? Don't make it sound like I can't do it!"
"But you can't, can you?"
"So, I can't, but... But don't get me wrong. It's not as if I can't. It's just that wielding a sword is easier than wielding a knife.
"I don't usually swing a knife around."
"It's a figure of speech! That's not what I meant! Anyway, it's not that I can't cook, but your mother and the head chef are begging me not to. So let's give Sam the honor of preparing lunch."
"Thank you for your happiness."
"Mmm-hmm. Good."
With all due respect, I did not originally expect Lise to be able to cook.
Not because of her skill, but because I didn't expect a countess surrounded by servants to cook for herself.
Many noblewomen cannot do housework.
Or rather, they don't have to.
"Just so you know, I can do housework other than cooking."
"......Well, if that's what Lise-sama says, let's say so."
"Hey, Sam! You don't believe me!"
"Ha-ha-ha, no way. There's no way I would ever suspect Liese-sama of ...... anything, right?"
"I doubt it!"
Joking around with each other, Sam deftly dismantles the edible monsters with his knife.
Although Sam has no talent with a sword, he has learned over the past four years that he can at least use a knife in a normal way.
It is funny to see him unable to use a knife at all or even throw a projectile properly when it comes to combat.
"Well then, let's cook some meat.
"I'm looking forward to it."
He takes a net and salt and pepper from the item box and starts a fire.
Place the lightly seasoned meat on the net and you are ready to go.
The fire sears the meat and oil drips onto it.
The savory smell of the meat stimulates your nostrils and your stomach starts to move.
"It's a little late for that, Lise-sama..."
"Yes?"
"I have a knife and fork, and a plate, would you like to use it?"
"Sweet. This kind of meat tastes best when you bite into it with all your might."
"That's true, but I'm not so sure about letting the ...... countess bite into meat roasted over an open fire."
I am still worried that the Master and Mistress will be angry with me later.
But Lise only smiles happily.
"You know, I told you that I had a night camp as part of Kensei-sama's training. You're not a boxed girl, you can handle it."
"Of course. You're Liese, aren't you?"
"--Oh, my. I'm curious about the way you just said that. What do you mean? Are you trying to call me a naughty girl?"
"...... Oh, the meat is ready. Please enjoy the delicious part.
"Thank you - but don't play games with me, Sam!"
Sam and Lise laughed at each other as if they were brother and sister.
Sam, who had been depressed by the loss of his beloved teacher, thanked Liese for giving him a time that he could truly enjoy.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
