"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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right. I'm hungry after all that exercise. By the way, Sam.

What is it?

Can you cook?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can do that. I've been traveling around with Ur, so I can at least learn to cook for myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I'm sure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey!　What do you mean, "I'm sure"?　Don't make it sound like I can't do it!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But you can't, can you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't usually swing a knife around."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"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."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mmm-hmm. Good."

　With all due respect, I did not originally expect Lise to be able to cook.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, they don't have to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just so you know, I can do housework other than cooking."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Well, if that's what Lise-sama says, let's say so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Sam!　You don't believe me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha, no way. There's no way I would ever suspect Liese-sama of ...... anything, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I doubt it!"

　Joking around with each other, Sam deftly dismantles the edible monsters with his knife.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is funny to see him unable to use a knife at all or even throw a projectile properly when it comes to combat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well then, let's cook some meat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm looking forward to it."

　He takes a net and salt and pepper from the item box and starts a fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Place the lightly seasoned meat on the net and you are ready to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fire sears the meat and oil drips onto it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The savory smell of the meat stimulates your nostrils and your stomach starts to move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a little late for that, Lise-sama..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I have a knife and fork, and a plate, would you like to use it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sweet. This kind of meat tastes best when you bite into it with all your might."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's true, but I'm not so sure about letting the ...... countess bite into meat roasted over an open fire."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am still worried that the Master and Mistress will be angry with me later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. You're Liese, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--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?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, the meat is ready. Please enjoy the delicious part.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you - but don't play games with me, Sam!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam and Lise laughed at each other as if they were brother and sister.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam, who had been depressed by the loss of his beloved teacher, thanked Liese for giving him a time that he could truly enjoy.
