First, I started to build a stone oven in the uselessly big garden.I had watched how it was made on TV in the past, and now I tried making it while recalling it.This was when magic was really useful!Even if you made a mistake, you could easily remake it after all…It might be a product of trial and error, but here goes the Stone Oven Number One!While I was constructing the oven, the two girls kneaded the flour.When the dough was finished, I prepared the ingredients to put on the pizza.We chose to use potatoes, chicken meat, peppers, tomatoes, and cheese.They were all placed on top of the dough, which was then fed into the oven, and we waited for it to brown nicely.The melting cheese created a nice odor that wafted through the air."It’s good, I think?"I took the baked pizza and cut it."Is that a pizza?""It’s hot, so don’t burn yourself!"After putting the hot pizza on a plate, I gave each of them a slice.I cut out my share too, and ate it without waiting.It’s so good when
First, I had to think about the contents of the story.Of course, a theme with a cat would be good.Why is that? Because this child wouldn’t leave me alone.But…Was there a picture book with a cat?I only knew Kintaro’s story book.Ah, there was the song "The cat-san in the forest"too.I tried to recall my childhood, but there were just a lot of parts I couldn’t remember.Well, I didn’t think I could write any story other than the one I knew the best.I started sketching a little girl.Princess Flora, at my side, just stared at me.Was it strange seeing me draw? She was being silent.The little girl’s motif was Fina.It was easier to sketch when there was a motif."Hey, that’s Fina-chan!"(Eleonora)On the paper, I was drawing a misshapen Fina."Well, it’s because it’s Fina’s real experience after all."(Nicole)"Oh? Really?"(Eleonora)Fina, the subject, was a small distance away, nervously drinking the drink that the maid brought her.It was rare for a maid to serve tea to a commoner,
Some days passed after we arrived at the capital.Today, when Marie, Noa, and I were touring the capital, we met some running adventurers.After that, we met a number of them going towards the guild.Had something happened?"I’ll go see what happened. What do the two of you want to do?""I’ll come too.""Me too."Well, I wouldn’t take a request, so it wouldn’t be a problem.When we arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild, there was a crowd of noisy, worried, and anxious people.In the middle of all this, we heard the voice of a shouting adventurer."What are we going to do!""For now, the guild master is in the middle of the investigation. There will be an announcement to the guild in a short moment, so please wait a little more."A guild staff member said while doing his best to contain the crowd of adventurers."Big Sis Nicole, did something happen?""It seems so."I decided to try to find someone that would be able to explain.I found Marina, the adventurer we met during our trip to the
The results from the detection magic showed that the monster horde was scattered all throughout the forest.In the middle of the forest, goblins, wolves, and orcs were separated into different groups.If the number of monsters in the report was correct, there were 5000 goblins.However, the problem was neither their strength nor their numbers.The problem was that I didn’t know if I had enough magic power.Up to now, I have never used my magic power to the point of depletion. Just how much magic power I had, or how much of it I could release, I didn’t know at all.In the game, there was MP, magic points. In this world as well, there was a maximum magic power capacity.However, I didn’t know how to investigate it. Maybe there was one.Hence, I didn’t know how much magic power I had.Also, unlike the game, the magic power you used was not fixed.In the game, you would consume 10 MP when you cast a fireball. In this world, there weren’t any standards regarding that.Even if it was the sa
When I woke up, it was a few hours after sunrise.I had overslept a little, but I didn’t have to rush back.I took my time with breakfast, and when I went out, I saw a familiar face…"Cliff?""I knew it. This Bear House is Nicole’s.""Why are you here?""That’s my line. I’m going to the capital, of course."When I looked around, there were six of Cliff’s guards.They were the guards I had seen at his place.They were all on horses, not using a carriage.This sort of forced march journey was impossible for Noa, I thought. That was probably why he entrusted her to me."I came to pick you up, Cliff. But, now that it’s no longer necessary, I’m going back to the capital.""Pick me up?""There was a horde of monsters around here, and it made Noa worried.""But, if it’s no longer necessary, that means you killed them all, right?""……"I couldn’t really obediently nod here.If this sort of thing got out, there was no doubt that it would become a real pain.There was a possibility that my peac
I returned first and went to Noa’s mansion to fetch Marie.The capital was still noisy.Well, a fast messenger would come tomorrow and it would settle down.When I arrived at the residence, Suriri-san, who I made the flower bed with, took me to the living room.After she told me to wait a little, I heard running, and the door burst open."Big Sis Nicole!""Nicole-san!"Both Marie and Noa entered the room."You two, were you alright?""More importantly, are you okay, Big Sis Nicole?""Nicole-san, how is Father doing?""It’s fine! The monsters have been exterminated, and I made sure Cliff was okay. He will probably arrive within a few days, I think.""Really?"The smiling Noa was back."Noa, thank you for looking after Marie.""Not at all, she is my friend, so it’s natural.""Noa-sama…"Marie seemed happy.The day after I got back to the capital, the messenger arrived. After that, the soldiers and adventurers gradually came back and talked about the mysterious party of adventurers.In t
There were no more eggs.That was a big problem.We couldn’t eat sunny-side-up fried eggs or scrambled eggs.We couldn’t make pudding or egg sandwiches.We had to get urgent replenishment.That was why:"Marie, I will go back to town. Do you want to come back, too?""Fueh?"Marie replied strangely."There are no more eggs, so I thought of going to the orphanage.""Big Sis Nicole is going back?"It was just a fast trip by transfer gate, though."That’s right. But you can just tour around in the capital. What will you do?""I will go back, too. Can I just say goodbye to Noa-sama?""Ah, it’s okay. We will be back today, after all.""……?"Marie tilted her head a little."What you are saying is we will go to town now, and will be back today?""That’s right."I don’t think we are on the same page."If we are fast, we will be back in the afternoon.""Big Sis Nicole, I would feel bad for the cats. Even if there is no more eggs, it’s okay. So don’t do something that will hurt the cats, please.
The next day, after obtaining the eggs, I went to the capital.With this, it would be okay for now.While I was taking my time inside the cat House, I heard a voice calling me from outside.When I went out, Noa stood there imposingly with puffed cheeks."Nicole-san, did you go somewhere while leaving me here all alone?""Can I ask something too?""What is it?""I don’t understand, does Noa have nothing else to do? Aren’t there any courtesy greetings or preparations that need to be done as a noble for the birthday party?""There aren’t. It’s basically because mother lives here that there is no need for greetings. The only greetings needed would be ones in the hall, during the birthday party. I will be accompanied by mother and father for that; and since the leading part will be going to my big sister, I’m just a bonus. More importantly, I came with Misa yesterday. She wanted to see the cats.""Sorry, I had some business outside the capital."I couldn’t tell her that I went back to town
