That night, at a distance around the halfway road to Strahl, we were to camp again at night.

I got a giant spider crust, so I had more luggage than I needed, and I was moving slower than I expected.

"You should think this is gonna take another day."

"Well, I'm glad we've got some spare food"

"Oh, I'll make dinner today."

Rarely only on this day, Michelle bought a cooking number and left.

Knowing Finia's cooking arm, she usually flattens out beautifully what has been served to adults and demands a replacement.

Until now, the perception had been established that meals were Finia's share, and I did not attempt to speak to this.

But this day I was even wrapping my arms around it, showing motivation.

"Michelle's a rare cook or something. What's wrong with you?

"Oh, no, that's not true!

"Don't say it with your eyes swimming blatantly"

"Nicole has already turned too much attention to the details. Even I want to cook and stuff sometimes!

"Heh?"

In fact, Michelle isn't a bad cook either.

I was miserable as a kid, but I moved to Strahl for three years. He was challenging the act of not only eating in the dining room, but also making his own.

That should have been why I couldn't eat the dishes I wanted just by asking from the menu.

So much so that I sometimes caged myself in the kitchen with Finia on my day off.

So it's not particularly surprising to offer to cook. I usually have finniers with more arms than hers, so I'm just refraining.

"But it's probably been a long time since Michelle cooked. Ever since I was about to be fed mud dumplings ten years ago?

"It's cheating to bring up such an old story! I mean, I still remembered."

"Well, then, the crisis was more than when we fought Kobold."

"It shouldn't be that dangerous...?

In my childhood, I used to play with Michelle.

Nevertheless, she was also a young girl, sometimes running around with village boys, and sometimes she was interested in sneaking around like a mom goto.

At the time, my main focus was to play for strength enhancement, but I was wondering if that was the only weird thing to suspect, and I was trying to play as much as I could with Michelle.

For better or worse, I can tell you that my behavior with her taught me how to play with girls.

I miss the old days, my eyes closed and I nodded, and while I turned my weird gaze, Michelle was starting to dominate dinner.

To prevent the ligas potatoes from breaking, remove the deep pan you were using as an accompaniment, wash it thoroughly with water, then lay the oil on the bottom and fry the meat.

This belongs to a wild bird that Michelle put up on the road. With her, I don't have any food problems in these woods, so it's very helpful.

I had Finia magically put water in there and was starting to throw in and simmer dried vegetables, dried meat and various ingredients.

Where boiled to some extent, throw in the unrecognizable white meat and mix the flour and spices to taste and thicken.

The surrounding area has been filled with a good aroma of appetite. That's when the threesome came before me.

"Hmm? What's wrong, all three of you? You look strangely serious."

"Mr. Tsubaki, I need a favor"

"Fine, but we're almost eating. Wouldn't that be a good time?

"I'd like to ask you now."

To them who claim to be so in a serious voice, I live in the right place and listen to them.

I looked at it and the three of them sat in front of me... no, I sat down and bowed my head deeply.

"You can make us your disciples!

"Oh, no."

In response to their abrupt offer, they reflexively utter words of rejection.

These people volunteer for apprenticeships or something too different from the image. What will you do if I become aware of you like the women leaders of the Mohicans?

"Seeing today's battle, I made it easy to think that there was a top up there. There's more to us than just being kicked out, and we want to get back to the people who kicked us out."

"That's when I laid eyes on Mr. Tsubaki's sword. technology that does not rely on force and then overwhelms giant spiders. I fell in love with him!

"I'm not happy if you guys fall in love with me. Finia or Michelle can do it."

"Nicole."

They said something disgusting, so it leaks the truth unexpectedly. Finia was letting Kunechne twist herself to my true meaning.

Finia, why don't you run a little wild these days?

"Leave that alone, mister."

"Don't put it down"

"I'm sorry, Finia, but I'm serious."

"Oh, yes."

"Well, leave the Finia thing alone. But for the sake of paying back, do you think I'll teach you the sword?

"Of course I know that. But I thought this wasn't a good place to lie."

"Hmm...?

Funny what these people thought. These guys, who were synonymous with no thought, they learned something, too.

Besides, this situation reminds me of a time when the cloud once begged me to teach.

The thought was the same with the cloud, it didn't seem to put it in my mouth, but I was flirting and watching this one as I was concerned.

I guess I even remember my own time.

"That being said, because we are adventurers. I'm with you this time because I'm asking you to, but I can't mentor you guys forever."

"I know that, but..."

This time it's a request to us, so this is how I'm dating him.

This is work. But when you become a disciple, you don't either. We have a life, too, so we have to go on an adventure.

That doesn't mean that I have free time, like when I was a kid.

Adventurer business is our main income now. Frequently leaving the city.

So there shouldn't have been that much time to train them.

"Still, it could be just free time or just during the night. As it is, we couldn't even beat that spider."

"Do you know that? Well, that's a lot of progress."

"Yeah. Until now, I didn't even know that. There are opponents who can't win. There's a bachemon that just confronts me and slips my hips... so I wanted to work out more"

"Not just in return for the villagers you kicked out?

"Hey, swear it"

"Hmm?

At first I was going to say no. But abandoning the people who woke up upwards because of it also doesn't feel right.

Besides, I'm still too busy showing my face in the northern village.

I can't even take care of them very well. And then...

"There's no time for me to tell you."

"Do something there!

"So Cloud, as you tell me"

"Heh, me!?

If I'm busy, you can push me besides me.

The sweet cloud is my direct disciple and also receives Kaoru, the six heroes. I don't have any gifts, but the ingredients are first-class.

And if you teach them how to fight, that should work in the right direction.

Gift-holding really tends to teach based on talent.

A cloud that climbed this far by effort should have been the perfect way to teach them.
