Chapter 512

We held a meeting to decide tomorrow’s schedule

“Amazing! Delicious!”

“Haha, really? Is it because you defeated the orc?”

“Wuff! Wuff!”

We ate Liza’s orc for dinner.

Everyone sat around the fire, and Ms. Lyra cooked the meat.

Of course, Liza, I and the others helped as well.

While dinner was being made, Mr. Ekenhart alone went into the river. And with the water up to his waist, he started swinging his swords in the air.

He was holding a katana and regular sword together, for weight... I had heard him muttering something about not falling behind a kid... So perhaps seeing Liza and Tilura had inspired him.

However, he was the duke. Was it really necessary for him to become any stronger...

He could already protect himself just fine... Well, I suppose it was good to want to improve.

In any case, I watched him as we finished preparing the food, and then it was time to eat.

Liza was very happy to eat the orc that she had killed.

Tilura had been like that as well. I suppose it was different when you did it yourself.

Was it similar to how vegetables tasted better when you grew and harvested them yourself?

Well, it probably had more to do with being released from the pressure, and also being hungry after moving.

“Mr. Takumi. Do you have a moment?”

“Yes? What is it?”

After all, I had also not wanted to hurt Liza’s feelings, and so I had said nothing...

But Ms. Claire saw Liza like a little sister, so she was very worried.

“Ms. Claire, I was not able to stop it either. There was no other way. Besides, the result was that we learned she could fight quite well...”

“...If that’s what you say, Mr. Takumi...I will accept it...”

I intervened partly because if this went any further, she would start blaming me as well.

In any case, she was satisfied and backed down.

Mr. Ekenhart sighed in relief, and then his face became serious again.

“Mr. Takumi has experienced battles a number of times. So, perhaps you would like to try fighting multiple enemies at once now?”

“Multiple enemies?”

“Yes. Two or more orcs. And when you get used to it, you can team up with Phillip, and experience two against two battles.”

“I am ready at any time.”

“Two...I see... Yes, I did something similar in Range village, so I think I should be able to manage.”

“In that case, Mr. Takumi will fight two orcs tomorrow. And if things go well, you can team up with Phillip or someone else later. This will be training for when you have to cooperate with others while fighting. While you could go with the other guards...Phillip would be best, as he has his own subordinates.”

As I had some experience with battle, I was to face multiple orcs tomorrow.

I had already fought more than two in Range village.

At that time, I had been desperate to buy some time. And tried to keep it one on one as much as possible.

And since the villagers had also helped me, I was never completely surrounded by orcs. But it was still a similar situation.
