Chapter 34: I Was Invited to Hunt

Translated by AmaLynne

「Hey, Sam! Let’s go hunting!」

「Hmm? Hunting, huh?」

As Sam was getting ready after breakfast, Lise came into his rented room without knocking.

「I’m sure you’re bored if you’re just cooped up in the garden training. Then it’s time for a real battle, a real battle!」

After a few days of training with Lise, Sam found out that this young lady was quite a tomboy.

She has a dignified demeanor due to the fact that she learned to use a sword, but she can’t sit still or has a childish attitude.

Sam liked Lise like that.

It was easier and more fun to hang out with someone like Lise who was full of energy than someone who was stuffy.

Therefore, there was no reason to refuse her invitation.

「It’s fine. Do you know of any good hunting grounds?」

「I recommend the forest west of the royal capital. It doesn’t produce very strong monsters, but it’s an excellent hunting ground.」

「Really?」

「I used to go to that forest a lot when I was attending Sword Saint dojo. I miss it. I survived with only a sword… We had to procure food and shelter locally, right?」

「You’re a tough one, Liese.」

「This is nothing if you’re learning to use a sword under a sword saint. But those with no guts quit as soon as they could.」

It is said that becoming a disciple of a sword saint is status among the nobility.

There are many people like Liese who simply want to learn swordsmanship, and there are also those who want to become a disciple to gain prestige.

It is said that the Sword Saint does not sift through applicants, but accepts them.

However, there were too many people who could not keep up with the rigorous and harsh training, especially the aristocrats who came to be disciples for status.

(Well, I don’t think a nobleman could survive in the woods with only a sword. In fact, I’m amazed that Lise is able to do the opposite without a hitch. I don’t like it either.)

It’s not impossible, but he doesn’t want to go on a survival mission.

In the first place, what does survival with a single sword have to do with swordsmanship?

「So, let’s get going!」

「Eh? Right now? Are you ready!?」

「What are you talking about? Sam and I don’t need to get ready, do we? We can get water and food locally.」

「Ehh! Let’s at least bring our own lunch!」

「We don’t want to waste time waiting for someone to make us lunch! With Sam and I on our feet, if we leave now, we can be there and back by dinner!」

「That’s true, but…」

Sam, who can use body-enhancing magic, as well as Lise, who has insane physical strength and leg strength without magic, can move faster by running on their own than by riding in a carriage.

Aside from Sam, Liese is really out of the ordinary.

Sam couldn’t help but wonder if this is what happens to everyone who attends Sword Saint dojo.

「So we’ll get our food locally. Now, let’s go!」

「Hey, at least let me make the minimum preparations! We’re hunting, what if something goes wrong?」

「We’ll be fine.」

「That’s not appropriate.」

「Oh, it’s not anything bad. We’ve seen what we’re capable of, and we’ve decided that a forest of that size is not a problem. It’s a forest that I can live in for a few days on my own, and with Sam here, there’s no chance of anything happening. So, come on, let’s go!」

Sam was cautious and wanted to make the minimum preparations, but Lise dismissed her.

She seemed to be itching to hunt already.

To tell the truth, there was always a minimum of water, food, and a tent stored in the Item Box.

Liese knows that too.

(…… Maybe Lise thinks I’m a handy toolbox? Hey.)

Despite some resistance, Sam was dragged by Lise from Count Walker’s house to the western forest.

Although he was surprised by the suddenness, Sam was also excited to be able to move his body as much as he could for the first time in a long time.
