“Hey, you should come with me.”

One day, two weeks had passed since Sam started to stay at Count Walker’s house.

It was unusual for Erica, the youngest of the four sisters, to call out to him, looking unhappy.

With her eyebrows raised and her arms crossed, her attitude was not flattering.

Lise, who was drinking tea with him, frowned.

「You’re not behaving well, Erica.」

「I’m doing the best I can with my attitude. Hey, you. You seem to be practicing with sister Lise, what does that have to do with magic?」

「Well, I’m not very good at anything but magic.」

「I don’t get it. If you’re a magician, you should train in magic. I mean, you’re too cocky to take lessons from sister Lise, the disciple of the Sword Saint.」

「Come on, Erica. I’m having fun practicing with Sam, and most importantly, it’s a wish your sister left for me.」

「―――Hmph!」

Lise’s attempts to restrain Erica’s attitude toward Sam were not very effective.

Erica was the only girl Sam hadn’t been able to get to know in the past two weeks.

Even Alicia, the third daughter, who is not good with men, was able to strike up a conversation and smile at the tea party where he talked about his adventures with Ur.

(She hates me, doesn’t she?)

It’s not that Sam doesn’t know how she feels.

Erica admired Ur and was trying to grow as a wizard.

However, Ur was not by Erika’s side, and she had been taking care of Sam, a stranger, for four years.

In the end, she passed away, leaving all her magic and skills to Sam.

Erica, who adored Ur, couldn’t be happy.

「By the way, I heard you are going to become a court wizard.」

「Yes.」

「…I don’t think you have what it takes, but okay. It’s a good opportunity for me to test your skills.」

Sam tilted his head at Erica, who smiled wryly.

「You want to compete?」

「It’s tempting, but father forbids it, so no.」

「Well, what do you want to do then?」

「We’re going to the dungeon!」

「A dungeon?」

「If you want credit, you’ll have to go to the dungeon.」

「Hey, Erika, if you’re going to the dungeon, I’m going too.」

「Not you, sister Lise!」

「Ehh―, why not―」

Erica dismisses Lise’s wish to follow her to the dungeon.

Liese puffs out her cheeks as if to say she is not happy.

「You went hunting with this guy the other day, didn’t you, sister Lise? So this time, it’s my turn.」

「Boo.」

「…Don’t act like a child at your age.」

「Don’t say I’m old!」

When Sam sees the two sisters interacting, he thinks they are very much alike.

When Lise asked him to go hunting, and now Erica, it was too sudden.

He smiled bitterly, saying,「I could have prepared it if you had at least told me the day before.」

「Don’t you dare laugh at me!」

「Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.」

「Hey, Sam? Do you think I’m old?」

「No! No, I wasn’t laughing at that, I was just thinking how friendly you two are.」

「……Then it’s fine.」

「That’s none of your business!」

After that, Lise continued to complain about wanting to follow to the dungeon.

After confiding in Sam about her past, she started to wield a sword again, apart from training with Sam.

Her family seemed to be pleased about that.

Lise seems to want to get her dulled body moving and regain her full strength, so she is very enthusiastic about her training with Sam and her independent training.

Thanks to her, Sam is out of shape every time.

Jonathan, who couldn’t stand the sight of him, told him that he needed to take a break once in a while, so he took the day off, but if he was going to the dungeon with Erica, he couldn’t relax.

In the end, Lise had to wait quietly at the mansion.

Lise was insistent to the end, but Erica wouldn’t give in.

「……You seem to have gotten the better of sister, but I’m not so lucky.」

「I didn’t mean it.」

「That’s all right. Now, follow me. Let’s go.」

Then she grabs Sam’s collar and pulls him back.

「Have a good day. I’ll be waiting for your souvenirs.」

As he waved back at Lise, Sam was put into the Count Walker’s carriage, which had already been prepared.

「The dungeon is less than half a day’s ride from Royal Capital. If we start now, we’ll be there by mid-afternoon. Let’s go!」
