“…… ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine…… hundred! It’s over!”
“Fuh ……”
Early in the morning, two days after making hamburgers, Makina and I sat down in the garden after finishing our push-ups. It’s not really a routine, but I felt like I hadn’t done any training since I left, and I wanted to work up a sweat.
To be honest, I need to put more pressure on my skills so that they don’t become dull.
“What, you’re training when I said you could take the day off?”
“‘It’s training with Lars to keep him accompany today. How are you going to spend your time today, Master?”
“I’ll spend the day as I see fit. The cabin has just been built, so it might be a good idea to clean the stables.”
“We’ll take care of the stables and you can relax.”
I said no, that I couldn’t let Makina’s master do that, but Fath-san laughed and put her hand on my shoulder as I sat down.
“Ho-ho, you’re being very kind. Don’t worry about it. I’ll do what I can as a resident of this house. Now, while you’re out, may I borrow your horse?”
“? That’s fine, but what are you going to do?”
“Well, you’ll have to wait and see.”
She grinned and went to the stables, leaving me and Makina behind.
We got ready to go out and walked into town, knowing that Fath-san would not sell or kill the horses without permission.
“Let’s have breakfast outside.”
“Oh, and what about Basleigh-sensei?”
“She knows we’re going out, so I think it should be fine? I’ve left a note in the living room.”
“Oh, I see. I’m sure she has the money and the castle will probably have it. Oh, by the way, you’re taking Hamburger to the butcher, right?”
“That’s right, if we go there after we’ve had a good breakfast, I’m sure they’ll be open.”
So we went to look for a restaurant in the shopping district.
◆ ◇ ◆
“Good morning! The Hamburger I ate last time, it was so delicious. Well, what’s for breakfast today! …… Hmm? No one’s home? Now that I think about it, they said that the two of them will be going out. It can’t be helped, I’ll just take the food that’s been prepared–“
Basleigh turns to head for the kitchen, but there she notices a note on the table and picks it up.
“I think I told you yesterday that I’m going to the theater to see Helena. I don’t have time to make breakfast, so just eat whatever you want.”
“N-No way …… To turn yesterday’s heaven and knock me down to hell.”
She collapsed to her knees, hands on the floor, clutching the note.
“It’s okay, I guess. I’ll buy the ingredients and have them make the Hamburger again. It seems to go well with cheese and alcohol. Well, I guess I’ll go to work again today. And I must brag about it to everyone!”
◆ ◇ ◆
“Good morning. I’ve brought you what you promised.”
“Good morning!”
“Hmm? Oh, you’re the brother from last time! I wasn’t expecting you to bring it in the morning.”
“I made it the night before last, so I wanted to be early. Here’s the dish I made, a hamburger. Let it warm up a little before you eat it.”
“Oh, thank you. Wait a minute.”
He took the package from me and retreated to the back, returning five minutes later with a steamy hamburger.
“Well, I’ll have a bite then …… Wafu …… Hooo~ …… I thought it was just a chunk of meat that had been cooked, but it’s not, the two kinds of meat are mixed well to make it tender. Rather than that, it’s pretty good! Isn’t it even better freshly made!?”
“Yes, I had it the night before that and it was absolutely delicious!”
Makina made a fist and said excitedly.
“This is a good dish. I’d like to ask you how to make it, but you can sell your first cooking recipe. You even open a restaurant.”
“Haha, a restaurant is an exaggeration. I’m glad you said that. I’d like to make some more dishes with meat, so can you help me at that time?”
“You have other dishes in mind? Heh, I’m looking forward to it.”
Makina giggled and Craig laughed.
“Is that sister your girlfriend? This guy is going to be a big deal. Don’t let him go, okay? And as I promised, next time I’ll give you a little extra. If you let me have something good to eat again and I’ll get you some good meat.”
“Ok, I’ll stop by again on my way home.”
“I’ll be waiting!”
We left the butcher shop and headed for the theater.
“He seems nice.”
“Yeah, but I didn’t think the hamburger would make such a good impression.”
“Fufu, you said you could open a restaurant! But I think it will sell well.”
“It’s not going to sell that much in the end because more people will try to copy it. Besides, we’re adventurers, we can’t afford to run a store.”
When I told her that, Makina said “You’re right” and laughed and took my hand. As we walked down the street, chatting about nothing, I noticed that the vigilantes and adventurers I had seen at the party were wandering around, looking strangely flustered.
“‘So many people for a morning, huh? Are they looking for something ……?”
“It seems unusual to see adventurers, let alone vigilantes, wandering around town.”
Is what I thought, but we have no way of knowing what they’re doing. I’m curious, but it would be annoying to poke my head into it out of curiosity, so I walked along with the vigilantes and adventurers at my heels.
Aside from that, we know where we’re going, and we’ll arrive at our destination soon. Why in the early morning? Because the theater doesn’t open until afternoon, so I figured I could meet her while I still could.
“I remembered the private entrance at the back.”
“Do you have the certificate Helena gave you?”
“Yes, of course.”
At Makina’s words, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a certificate showing that I knew Helena and smiled.
I soon found the back door and approached the reception area of the castle.
“Excuse me, may I?”
“Yes? Excuse me, this is for the performers only– Hawawawa!?”
“Hmm? I’m here with a girl named Helena–“
When I call out to the woman with glasses, I hear a clerical remark. However, she immediately gets excited when she sees me and Makina.
“A handsome guy and a beautiful girl! I see. You’re a prospective performer, aren’t you? This material will sell ……!”
“No, we’re here to see a girl named Helena. If you can look at this.”
Then the excited woman stopped and looked at us in turn.
“Helena-san, you say? …… Oh, so you’re a friend of her, I’m sorry. Nevertheless, with the way you two look …… Are you interested in theater or idols ……! It will definitely sell!”
“Ahaha, we’re adventurers, so that’s a bit ……”
“A-Adventurers!? No, no, no, that long black hair and a sleek, toned body! What a waste! Before you get hurt, why don’t you open a new door?”
“N-No, can you please call Helena for me for now ……”
Makina said with a troubled look on her face.
“That won’t be necessary♪. It’s been a long time, you two.”
” “Helena!” “
Helena called out to us from behind.
So, what happens now?
Thank you for reading!

“A classmate after a long time!”
Helena’s a good girl.
“Well, there are some things that bother me, but ……”
Hm?
“So it’s still a harem ……”
It’s not, okay!?
“Fuh ……”
