Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

I don't usually stockpile ingredients, so it's really easy for me to make them.

That's the level of stir-fried meat and vegetables, but Anna stands next to me and nods with interest.

"Hmm, nice knife. That's why I'm so familiar with swordsmanship."

"I don't think cooking has much to do with swordsmanship."

"That's not true. Even the ingredients thrown into the air can be cut clean with good swordsmanship."

"Ahahah, you can definitely do it, but... I won't.

I don't go out of my way to do what I think I'm doing in the street.

Cut the vegetables on a chopping board and stir-fry the meat to the proper size. I always decide the seasoning with my eyes.

I had to be honest about the opportunity to cook for others.

I often acted alone at work, and if there were a large number of people, someone else would be in charge of cooking. --In my previous life, I could say that I had little opportunity to cook with others.

"Do you like the darker taste?

"I'll take care of it. Let me enjoy your cooking."

Well then, let me make it as usual.

Mix the seasonings and stir-fry over a little heat.

Since stir-fried meat and vegetables were easy to cook, they were mostly cooked and eaten.

Of course, I can cook other dishes, but if I can fill my stomach with some nutrition... that's my idea.

Whether she knows or not, Anna tells her to be impressed.

Nice work. That's the man I expected. "

"I think anyone can do that."

"No... I've seen my men cooking, but I was cutting more vegetables. To be honest, I wish I could eat it, but I can count on your food."

It seems that Anna's idea is of the same type as mine.

Beyond being a soldier, she might have had a chance to go to war.

I used to participate in the War.

In a situation where you don't know when the enemy will attack, you don't have time to eat slowly.

But you'll need food to keep fighting. That's why you'll be able to cook naturally, quickly and easily.

No, it's too bad for cooking... that's the level where we just process the prey we caught and bake it all.

Perhaps that's what Aena's men cook.

Wild, to put it mildly - well, at the point where I can imagine it, I'm almost the same as them.

I wonder if I could afford to be a knight.

When I put meat and vegetables on a plate, I carry them to the table. [M]

"Here you go, Aena."

Ah, let's get this over with.

With a smile on her face, Anna arrives at her seat.

I sit face to face with her.

Anna was staring at me like that.

"What's wrong?"

"... no, I was wondering one thing."

"What is it? Maybe something happened earlier..."

"We'll talk about it again. I'm worried about something else... but what? Does Iris come to this room often?

"Eh, Mr. Iris?

Ana's question was something I didn't expect at all.

I don't know why the subject of England comes up, but I answer honestly. [M]

"Mr. Iris has never been to this room. She's a student-ah, she might have come here once to practice."

"Practice - you're following England? Is that what you do every day?

"Sometimes on holidays. I do a good job after school. Recently, there have been some impressive developments in Mr. Iris. I think it's growing even more than when I fought Aena before."

As I answer, I chew on the food. [M]

Yeah, as usual.

I see. I admit the strength of England. If I were serious, I'd win. "

"I wonder. I think Aena's abilities are real."

"Mm, you're telling me I'm going to take a step back? You and England make a lot of friends, don't you? You think I'm inferior to you?

Her eyes became a little sharp.

I'm not going to do anything. [M] If Aena is stronger, I will answer that clearly.

But the strength of England and Aena is... quite close from my point of view. If it's a serious match, I don't know which one wins.

"It's not that you're inferior, you can say your strength is reversing. They're both capable."

"Fuha, I see. Then I will prove myself better. But even though the strength of the battle is reversed, I'm still in the lead, right?

"What is the current situation?

"Here's the story. Now, before the food gets cold - nnh, it's delicious. It's simple, but that's why I know the taste of the ingredients well."

"I am honored to receive your compliments. If you're happy with this, I'll always make it."

…… Ohh. "

Anna suddenly coughed upset and swallowed the glass of drink at once.

While I was stunned, I asked Anna.

"Are you okay?

"Ah, ah, nothing. Nothing, but watch your mouth."

With tears in her eyes, Anna shouted.

... did I say something wrong? Looking back, I can't think of anything particularly strange.

In the subtle air - me and Anna continued to eat.
