"I'd like some tea if you don't mind."

"I hope you don't mind."

　I asked him to sit down on a chair and prepared the tea in a very efficient manner.

　Lately he had been reading the magic book left by Ur, but today he was a little tired and had not even opened the pages.

"Oh, that's a strange smell."

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

"It is a tea from the land of the east, the land of the sun."

　He pours the light green liquid into a teacup.

（What's the matter, Lise?　You seem a little nervous. ...... Well, I guess I'm nervous too. A woman of your age alone in a room, I'm not just a little nervous, I'm a lot nervous.)

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

　Sam is a man.

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

　If a beautiful woman like Lise comes to your room in an unguarded state, you will be nervous.

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

　Especially, Lise is usually so close to me that I am conscious of her as a member of the opposite s*x.

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

　However, it is not right to have ill feelings toward Liese, who is like a family member.

　As a brother and a disciple, he tries to keep his composure.

　In my previous life in Japan, I did not have much experience with tea, but now that I can drink it in this other world, I feel nostalgic.

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

　I have no desire or regrets to return to my former world, but it is quite a strange experience to be able to get something that I had in my former life in another world.

"By the way, what can I do for you?"

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

"A lot happened during the day, and I wanted to talk to you properly. Am I bothering you?"

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

No, it's not like that. I wanted to talk to Liese-sama, too.

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

"Oh, I'm so glad. Sam - once again, congratulations on your position as court wizard and on being the most powerful."

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

"Thank you."

　It tickles me when Lise, the master of close combat, praises me.

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

"But I was so worried about you."

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

"I'm sorry for your concern."

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

"I've always wondered why Sam didn't use his skills in training with me, but after seeing that, it makes sense. You didn't dare."

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

"Yes. My skills are dangerous. It wasn't so dangerous before, but when I use it together with offensive magic, it has become something evil. You can't use it easily in a normal fight.

"I know. I don't want to be cut in half like Albert. But I'm glad you won. To be honest, some people thought it was too much. But as long as Sam is safe, I don't care about Albert.

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

　I was prepared for some people to say that it was too much.

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

　He had anticipated it all, and Sam had killed Albert to break all his fears.

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

　He knew that there was no harm in keeping him alive, and he did not know what kind of foolishness the defeated man would do if he was allowed to live.

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

　Taking his life would save him from regretting later that he should have killed him.

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

"But I never thought you would fight the dragon afterwards..."

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

"It's true. And it was Albert's fault.

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

"As far as I'm concerned, he really didn't do anything wrong. But it did teach me one thing.

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

"What did you find out?　Well, what is it?

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

"That's, you know, how I feel."

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

"Are these the feelings of Liese-sama?"

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

　Unable to understand what she was saying, Sam tilted his head.

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

　Lise continued to speak to Sam.

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

"You know, I have always thought of you as my little brother.

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

"That's very kind of you."

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

"Hmmm, I was just so cute because he's my first apprentice and he's so worthwhile to teach.

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

"I thank you too, Lise. Thanks to you, I have learned how to play close combat."

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

"But--"

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

　Lise hesitated for a moment.

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

　But then, as if she had made up her mind, she spoke.

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

"I found myself thinking about Sam more than about my brother.

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

"Well, what does that mean?"

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

"I was happy that he treated me the same way he did when he found out about my past, but I had feelings for Sam that I didn't deserve."

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

"Lise-sama?"

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

　I am at a loss to understand what she is trying to say.

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

"I've been trying to hide these feelings from you. But then I realized that Sam was going to fight the dragon and that I might never see him again, so I thought I should at least tell him how I feel.

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

　I understood that the battle with the burning dragon had worried Liese greatly.

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

　Before Sam could say a word of apology, Liese continued to speak.

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

"Listen, this is just something I want to tell you on my own, so you don't have to reply or anything. I'd rather you keep this between us.

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

"Ah, if Lise-sama says so. But what?

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

"-I like you, Sam."

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

"Heh?"

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

　I didn't understand what he said.

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

"I adore you as a man."

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

　Finally, Sam understood the meaning of Liese's words.

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

　But he couldn't hide his upset.

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

（What?　Huh?　Huh?　Liese-sama said that about me?)

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

　It was hard to believe that a beautiful woman and a master swordsman would fall in love with a child whose only skill was magic.

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

It would be more convincing if she laughed at me and said, "I was only joking.

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

　But Lise's face was too serious, her cheeks were slightly red and she was looking straight at me with moist eyes.

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

　Even Sam, who has little experience in love, could clearly see that her feelings were true.

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

"Um, Lise-sama..."

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

"I know you love your sister Ur. But I still wanted to tell you."

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

　Yes. It's true that Sam still loves Ur.

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

　That will never change.

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

　I'm sure Sam will love Ur for the rest of his life.

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

　Ur never wanted that.

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

　He told me that one day he would be with someone else, have a family, and be happy.

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

　It is not an easy thing to do, even if it is the word of a loved one.

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

　So I only thought that such a time might come someday.

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

　But I never dreamed that Lise would tell me that she loved me.

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

　How could I not be happy to be liked by such a kind and charming person like Lise?

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

　Sam tries to find the words to reply.

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

　However, he was so upset and confused that he could not get the words out.

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

　Lise, perhaps sensing this, opens her mouth.

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

"You don't have to answer me. I just wanted to let you know how I feel.

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

"Lise-sama, but..."

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

"Really, it's okay. I just want you to remember. I just want you to remember that there's someone out there who loves you. Even though Ursula is gone, there are still people who care about him.

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

　Liese stood up and moved closer to Sam.

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

　Then she bent down and gently placed her own lips on Sam's.

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

"--!"

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

"I'm sorry. But please forgive me for this."

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

　Lise smiles at Sam's surprised, slightly mischievous face.

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

　Liese gently strokes Sam's hair as he stiffens under the sudden confession and kiss,

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

"Good night, Sam. Have a nice dream."

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

　With these words, he leaves the room.

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

　Sam tried to stop her, but he could not think of what to say to her and could not call her name.

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

　In the short time that followed, Lise left the room.

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

　Sam, who was left alone, put his hand to his lips,

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

"--Lise-sama."

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

　He becomes even more nervous than when he fought the dragon.

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

　What should I look like when I meet Liese tomorrow?

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

　What will I say in reply?

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

　She said she doesn't want it, but I think that's also insincere.

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

（What am I supposed to do?)

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

　The confession from the person he loved like a big sister made Sam spend sleepless nights.
