I changed into the butler's uniform I had brought back with me, set my hair and headed to the kitchen.

　He told everyone to wait in his room until he was ready.


'Come on, let's do it,'

　Sasha might be coming over, so I need to apologize to everyone as soon as possible.


　I've been making fried rice a lot since I was in my former world.

　Ever since my sister told me she liked my fried rice, I got into a good mood and made it all over again.

　In this world, I made it for Tina and the others a few times after I entered the Magic Academy.

　They were quite popular.

　When I was at home, the maids, including Tina, wouldn't let me into the kitchen, so I couldn't cook at all.

　When I said that I wanted to practice for when I lived alone one day, Tina said, 'I'm with Hurt-sama, so there's no need for that,' she said.

　Also, I heard that fried rice is not a major part of the world over here.

　There is a recipe handed down by the relocated heroes, and there are restaurants that sell fried rice based on it, but it's kind of sticky and not very popular.

　I was curious to try it, but it wasn't very good.


　After enrolling in the magic academy, I suddenly had a craving for fried rice from the original world.

　The will to eat is a tremendous driving force.

　First, I looked for rice to go with my fried rice.
　On days when I didn't have classes, Tina used her flying magic to take me to various countries.

　Finally, on an island nation in the Far East, I found something close to Japanese rice.

　This seems to be Yohko's hometown.

　I felt nostalgic for the Japanese culture, but the purpose of the trip was to make fried rice, so I just bought some rice and went home.

　I've marked the transference, so I can come back anytime I want.

　I regularly use transfer magic to go to that island nation to buy rice and give it to Tina to make rice for me.

　At first, Tina and her friends wondered about the pure white rice, but now they've turned to the island nation's rice as their staple food.

　Rice is the best!

　By the way, except for the rice, the ingredients for making fried rice, you can find ingredients similar to those from the original world at the Magic Academy's market.


　When Tina wasn't at the mansion, I made fried rice in the kitchen.

　When Tina came back, she was surprised to see that I had cooked, and then she was surprised twice when she ate my fried rice.

　From then on, every once in a while Tina would ask me to make her fried rice, so I made it for her.

　Even after Yoko, Mai, Mei, and Rifa came to our house, I'd make it for them sometimes.

　I guess the one who makes me the most happy is Merdi.


　I quickly made fried rice.

　Now, here's the main thing.


　The main thing is...

Tina, are you there?

　I come to Tina's private room and knock on the door.
　I'm not in butler mode yet.

　The door opens.

'Halt-sama, please--'

　Tina freezes when she sees me.

　I deploy my mind-reading technique to be the perfect butler.
　I turn on butler mode.

'Here you are, young lady. Your meal is now ready, and I have summoned you.

Master Hurt, you look like a...
(Or, it's too cool!!!)

　Hmm, I'm still embarrassed.

　But I'm Tina's steward now, so I have to maintain my normalcy.

Apologies for the bracelet and as a reward for the young lady who supported the management of the shop from behind the scenes today. Is there anything you would like me to do for you?

Kiss me!
(Oh no!　I can't beg Master Hurt for a favor.)

What?
'What?　Oh, no, no, I'm not.

　I was surprised. I didn't expect that.
　He usually begged me to kiss him.

　But I had no choice if she asked me to, right?

"Excuse me, miss.

　Her cheeks are dyed and she looks down, her fingers cooing up Tina's chin, making her turn toward me.


　I kiss Tina.

'............'
(.............)

　Tina froze.
　Her thoughts also stopped.

　With a huff, the strength from Tina's body is released.

　She hurriedly supported her body, which was about to fall down.

Tina, are you okay?

I'm sorry.
(I was too happy to lose my strength. Master Hurt, it's not fair.)

Can you stand?

Yes. Something.
(If possible, you can't just carry a princess in your arms to bed like this... right?)

　Whoa, I got it!

"What, ha, Master Hurt!?

　I pick up Tina and carry her to the bed.
　I'm working out properly, so there's plenty of room for Tina.

　He gently set Tina down on the bed.

　Then he kissed her again.

'Miss, that's all for today. Would you be so kind as to come over for dinner?

Yes, sir.

　I turn off my mind-reading technique as it seems there is no end to reading any more thoughts.


'Then I'll go and call the others. Please wait in the cafeteria.

　With that, he left Tina's room.


　Five more to go.
　I think it's tough being a butler.

　Next, we head to Rifa's private room.



"Rifa, can I come in?

Yes, I'll open it now.

　The door opened and Rifa came out.
　And then he froze, just like Tina.

　Now, I'm in butler mode.
　I turn on my mind-reading technique, of course.

'Your meal is ready. Would you please come to the dining room?

What?　Oh, yes?
(Why are you wearing a butler's uniform, Hurt-san?)

''By the way, this outfit is meant to be an apology for the bracelet and a reward for the young lady who worked hard to serve customers in the shop today, how about it?

'Lovely!　It's cool!
(That's not really an apology...)

Uh ... oh, thank you.

　What is it, my wife, when she's in a temper tantrum, what she's thinking and what comes out of her mouth are reversed?

　I'm a little embarrassed, as expected, when my lovely wife gives me a straight up compliment.

　Okay, let's switch it up!

Is there anything you want me to do for you?

'Well...'
(I'd like you to kiss me. If possible, I'd like to be a bit forceful... but there's no way I can say that!)

Yes, sir.
What?

　He grabs Rifa's shoulder and pushes her lightly against the nearby wall.

'Oh, um, Mr. Hurt?'

　Rifa was surprised, but she didn't try to resist.

　He put his hand on the wall, eliminating Rifa's escape route.

　So-called "wall bang".
　I never thought the day would come when I would do this.

　I kissed Rifa a little too aggressively.


'Excuse me. You're so cute.

　Let's set it up that way.

How did you know that I wanted you to kiss me?

I'm your daughter's steward.

Mr. Hurt....
(That's so unfair!)

　After that, they flirted a bit, as Rifa wanted, and left Rifa's room.


　And four more.........

　I think the fried rice is getting cold, don't you think?

　Thinking about this, I stepped into Yohko's private room.
