Chapter 6: 6
◇
It's already evening huh .
Just how many old men's and old women's waists have I massaged . Everyone was grateful so it was worth doing, but I had hoped that they would hold back a bit .
"Looks like the field hospital is over eh . Here, here, come here . "
Arisa and Nana have just come back from sightseeing work of arts and treasures . The two lead me by hands to the Yamato exhibition . There are only a few people around, maybe because it's evening .
"Gozaru~"
"Gozaru nano desu!"
Pochi and Tama who are wearing haori that look like Shinsengumi outfits are taking poses with wooden swords modeled after Japanese katana on their hands .
"Fu fuhn, they look the part right . I've bought them from the cosplay corner, or rather, souvenir corner . "
"Arisa, I cannot commend on your wasteful spending . "
Liza scolds her, but Arisa's pocket money comes from the salary she's got from Nina-san . I can't get used with, "What belongs to the slaves also belongs to the master . ", kind of common sense at all .
There are also a corner exhibiting Japanese katana, but they're treated as [Ancient Swords] . It seem like it didn't get spread .
The dummy of Yamato-san's side arm, the holy sword Claiomh Solais, is being displayed at the center of the katana exhibition corner .
It's a big sword nearly two meters long . From what I remember, Claiomh Solais should have been a one-handed sword in the previous world, but since it's a knowledge from games, it's not a reliable one .
If Yamato-san can use this sword, that person might unexpectedly have large body build .
A huge three meters wide picture is being displayed behind the dummy sword .
It's a picture of Yamato-san fighting against a demon lord with golden body standing on top of a castle . Yamato-san is depicted riding on a dragon's back while wielding the holy sword . Yamato-san looks slightly small, but since the dragon and the demon lord are big, I guess it can't be helped .
Numerous floating swords are pictured there, it's probably the artist's interpretation . It's a scene that seems likely to appear in an anime .
"There is no such thing as human riding on a dragon . "
"Eeh~, don't something like dragon knight fire you up . "
Liza looks a bit displeased when she sees the picture of Yamato-san riding a dragon . The scalekin might be people who deify dragons .
I somehow understand why Arisa used [Fired up], instead of [Burned] . Mia is nodding besides Arisa, I'm not going to pursue the reason for that .
Arisa, be more modest in being a culture hazard .
Before we could get to the clothes exhibition, a museum official notifies us that the building is closing, so the tour ends . Let's come again if we have time .
According to Arisa who has toured it earlier, there are various cosplay costumes inside, but I think that they're not cosplay but what the people in that era are wearing .
◇
When we get back to the earl's mansion, lady Karina who's got left behind tries to pick a quarrel with me, but she quickly forgives me after Pochi and Tama present her with the matching shinsegumi's haori, and the headband as souvenirs . She's quite calculating .
Lady Karina's maids group raise cheer of joy when I tell them that I'm in charge of the cooking tonight, but since I don't think I could make anything extravagance, it's troubling when they're this happy .
For the sake of fixing Pochi's hate with fish, I'm making a fish dish today .
"How about it, Arisa helped dressed me, do you think it suits me?"
"It suits you really well . "
I answer half-heartedly to lady Karina who purposely comes to the kitchen to show me the haori she's wearing . Is she really that happy for the matching outfit with Pochi and the others?
I make the fish into minced meat .
It hits upon me when I see the dumplings for the ration yesterday; the fish meat hamburg steak . I slightly mix in goat fat to add some subtle flavors, since the taste would be too plain with just fish meat . I'm unsure with the amount of eggs I have in stock for this . Since Karina maids group looks to be free, let's ask them to buy some eggs .
"Master, the oil is boiling . "
I ask Lulu to fry the potatoes . Potato is a must for hamburg steak .
Next, I quickly make the carrot glace . The potatoes are piling up, I'll make mashed potatoes from it . I put the asparagus look-a-like as the garnish .
The Worcester-like sauce that I've got from the head chef in Gururian city is going to be the sauce . I can make it myself since I've been taught the recipe too, but it's not usable for now since it needs fermentation . Therefore, I decide to use the ones from the parting gift just like that .
"Pochi!""Tama!"
The two people call each other's name and hug when they see the hamburg steak . Are you really that happy? That remind me, they're also overjoyed when I make it with ordinary meat back then . There's no sauce at that time, so I make a faux sauce with the soy sauce as the base .
I tell everyone beforehand that there is no additional serving for the hamburg steak, so they eat it while savoring the taste .
"Delishya~"
"Though it's different from before, it's delicious nodesu . "
"Delicious~♪"
Looks like it's quite popular .
"It's the first time I've eaten this dish . "
"I'm eating such luxurious dish that even Karina-sama hasn't eaten!"
"Erina, stop being vulgar during the meal . "
The mouths that need to feed have increased with lady Karina's and her maid group' . I'm the one who invited them at first, but the maid group are eating together before I know it .
"Pochi, is it delicious?"
"Yes, nano desu!"
"Really?"
"Real, ly, nano desu!"
Pochi bends her body with the "Real", and stretch out her whole being with the "Ly" to express the deliciousness . It's cute, but I have to tell her the truth here .
"Pochi-kun . "
"Yes, captain . "
Captain is it .
"I have a serious thing to report . "
"Aye . "
Why are you saluting .
"That hamburg steak is made with fish . "
"Fissh meat nano desu?"
Pochi leans her head to one side . Why are you using strange intonation .
"Like I said, it's not meat, it's fish . "
"L, lie nano desu! Master is a bully nano desu . "
"Pochi-chan, it's not a lie . I was beside master so I saw it too . It was certainly made with minced fish . "
"Gaa~n, nano desu . "
Pochi falls to the ground while supported by both her hands . Why are you shocked to that extent .
Tama pats the shoulder of Pochi who's fallen down .
"Pochi . "
"Tamaa . "
Tama strongly puts her thumbs up and continues her words .
"Delicious is~ Justice!"
"!"
Pochi is astonished with Tama's words .
It somehow stinks of a small theatric play, so I glance at Arisa who averts her eyes . So you really are the one behind this .
"Tama speaks the truth nodesu . Delicious thing is supreme nano desu!"
Pochi raises her face, and gazes at the sky with an expression as if enlightened . Since we're indoor, the only thing that could be seen there is the chandelier, but no one is retorting .
For the time being, Pochi has become better with fish . When we're eating fish dish, she asks me or Lulu to take out the bones, but she doesn't dislike it anymore .

"Arisa, do you want to read this book?"
"Nn~? The book you've bought with Toruma ossan? Is there a book for intermediate level light magic?"
Arisa invited me to the bathroom when we were relaxing on the sofa after meal, so I changed the subject to avert her attention . The bathroom here is for single-person use only with a bath tub, so I can't relax if I get intruded during the bath .
"T, these are!"
I show Arisa the magic book for intermediate level light magic, explosion magic, and destruction magic manual .
"Kuh, if I dye my hair to pink, I'd exactly become the heroine . "
Yeah yeah .
Next, I take out the space magic book that only has the spells written in it .
"What's this one? The book looks to be very badly managed . . . "
Arisa's expression changes after she sees the spell .
"Hey, don't tell me this is space magic?"
"It is . "
"Don't, say, it, so easily~~~ . "
I slightly pull away from Arisa who's loaded her words with excessive force while saying, "Uga" .
"It surely is unusual, but people who can use space magic aren't that rare right?"
From what I see in all the cities I've been so far, shadow magic is the rarest . I've never seen any user beside Zen .
The runner-ups are explosion, destruction, and mind magic, beside lady Ringrande and Arisa, the only other users of those magic are demons and the demon lord .
Following it are ghost, summoning, and space magic, their users are few, but in a big city, there are several people who can use them .
"What are you saying! It's space magic you know, space magic! It's not a standard cheat!"
"It'd be convenient if there's a teleport magic, but you don't have enough skill points to learn space magic right?"
Arisa's degree of excitement has decreased somewhat .
I'm sorry to spoil the fun, but even if there is a teleport magic, it'd be an advanced level .
"Fuhahaha, since when did you misunderstand that skill points are fixed?"
Arisa looks down from the sofa while looking proud .
That's a surprise .
