Chapter 4 Its A Hobby!
Well, whatever. I understand that the old geezer is trying to push this girl to me. Hes doing a very nice job, presenting a hero from another world, which cant be compared even to a village girl around her age, to me.
I understand your status. So, supposing that I accept you as my disciple, what do you want to do after that?
What I want to do ?
Dont read deeply, the meaning is as it is. Is it revenge against your friends who have forsaken you? Or do you want to join the battle line to subdue the Demon King when you admirably become stronger?
I
Ill decline it no matter what she chooses though. Is there a benefit for me if I accept her as my disciple? Itll just waste my time and Ill lose my free time. Even if she presents her body, Im not interested in this flat-chested greenhorn. She has to at least prepare an answer that will arouse my interest.
First, I want to beat everyone up.
Revenge, huh? Well, I guess thats natural.
Then, I want to make a smug face! And then saying Haha, Ive surpassed you!. Ideally, Id like it to arouses the opponents desire to have a rematch as much as possible. Making them feel damn you or something like that.
Smug face hmm?
Wait. Is that revenge?
No, its just my hobby. Ive always loved giant-killing. I participated in various competitions anonymously and created a totally unexpected result but my name alone became famous in the previous world and I was frustrated lately. But, now I came to this world, moreover with this situation this is a really ideal situation. Ah, except for Chinatsu-chan, okay? She is my best friend and she protected me to the end. My target at present is Akiras group who laughed the most. By all means, I want to make the best laughter! Thats all!
What the hell is this girl saying with the best refreshing smile? Rather, is she enjoying this situation? Even though her status is below a village girl?
Arent you being told often that youre an idiot?
Im being told often that Im being positive like an idiot!
Okay, it seems that a lack of common sense girl has arrived. Ill admit that shes an interesting capable person even being unlucky. But, dont think that alone is enough.
Dont stare at me with those clear eyes. Its too dazzling for this ossan. I understand that you are really ambitious. But, Im still lacking in profits.
Deris-san, are you trying to make her take care of you at night and doing something not goo
Hell no! Im trying to clearly refuse it!
When I grabbed Canons chest and shook him, the less-than-a-village-girl who was watching it raised her hand. It seems that she wants to say something. Its a neat way of raising ones hand.
What is it now? Even if you are going to do what this idiot is thinking, I wont nod you know. You should cherish your body more.
No, thats not it. I can do all the laundry, washing, and cleaning! Especially at cooking, I was highly praised by my brothers!
Ha?
Is she perhaps appealing herself?
Ah, I see. Isnt that good, Deris-san. Your housework is catastrophic, by having her live and work at your house, you accept her as a disciple and train her. Its perfectly profitable for both of you. Okay, its decided!
You are not to decide!
Wait, it hurts, it hurts, ouch ouch!
I make Canon eat my iron claw on the head. Lets ignore his tapping.
Still, helping the housework, huh? Certainly, housework is a matter of life and death for me, and lately I havent had a delicious meal because I earnestly stayed at home. Everything was to spare time to go out to town, but its different if she can cook at home. Frankly, I want a capable person who can do the housework. From what I see, she seems pretty confident.
I treat my disciple quite strict, you know. Moreover, you have to do housework and training simultaneously. Think that you wont even have the time to complaint. But, I promise you that Ill definitely make you stronger. Can you follow me?
Of course! One or two efforts, Ill do my best at everything even if it kills me and shatters me into pieces! Because thats my motto!
You are going to break into pieces in the end?
My reputation is high for many self-destructions.
Not good, I became anxious after all. If the fire completely burns my house when she cooks, I will surely cry.
Lets set up a trial period. I will judge your work for a week. Of course, I will treat you as a disciple during the trial period, so you can be relieved. I will also add the training to make a smug face.
R-really!?
However, I will cancel it even during the trial period depending on your motivation and housework efforts. At that time, just give up your smug face and work quietly in the town. With your looks, the people in the town wont look at you unpleasantly.
Y-yes! I will do my best!
Thats a good reply. Her energetic got a perfect score.
Deris-san, you nonchalantly praised her looks please dont cause an accident, okay?
Hou, you are awfully challenging today, Canon-kun. I understand now how you think about me.
Im the mediator even if I look like this, so I warn you just in case, ouch ouch! My head, my head is not good!
I gave him the pursuit of iron claw. Hmmm, Ill have him get scolded by Leader-sama later. Anyway, Im as a master, huh
Um, can I introduce myself again?
Hmm? Ah, thats right. Ill be seeing you for at least a week from now. Ill introduce myself too. Im Deris Fahrenheit. Call me whatever you want.
Then, Shishou!
You dont change it, huh.
Yes!
Its a bit ticklish.
My name is Katsuragi Haruna. Haru in Haruna means Ill eternally do my best wherever and anywhere I am. Na in Haruna means Ill put a lot and plenty of my best in it! Shishou, Ill be in your care!
Yeah, for the time being, best regards.
I wonder what happened to the origin of her name? Just how much her parents want her to do her best by giving that name?
Um, can I ask a question?
What?
Shishou, what kind of position are you in and what kind of work do you do? I didnt get any explanation at all.
When I slowly shifted my gaze toward Canon, he was sweating and was facing the direction of the day after tomorrow.
Oi, you shouldve given her a brief explanation before coming here. I will tell that woman about this failure when I meet her next time. Yeah, the present is increased. Lets do that.
Im just a magician like you whos a bit good in skill. What you need to worry right now is about safely surpassing the trial period.
Well, I received Haruna Katsuragi, a girl who was being summoned from the modern era, as my disciple (temporary). First of all, I have to secure a room for her.
