Chapter 4: It's A Hobby!

Chapter 4 It’s A Hobby!

Well, whatever. I understand that the old geezer is trying to push this girl to me. He’s doing a very nice job, presenting a hero from another world, which can’t 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 …?」

「Don’t 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――」

I’ll decline it no matter what she chooses though. Is there a benefit for me if I accept her as my disciple? It’ll just waste my time and I’ll lose my free time. Even if she presents her body, I’m 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 that’s natural.

「Then, I want to make a smug face! And then saying ‘Haha, I’ve surpassed you!’. Ideally, I’d like it to arouses the opponent’s 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, it’s just my hobby. I’ve 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 Akira’s group who laughed the most. By all means, I want to make the best laughter! That’s 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?

「Aren’t you being told often that you’re an idiot?」

「I’m being told often that I’m being positive like an idiot!」

Okay, it seems that a lack of common sense girl has arrived. I’ll admit that she’s an interesting capable person even being unlucky. But, don’t think that alone is enough.

「Don’t stare at me with those clear eyes. It’s too dazzling for this ossan. I understand that you are really ambitious. But, I’m 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! I’m trying to clearly refuse it!」

When I grabbed Canon’s 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. It’s a neat way of raising one’s hand.

「What is it now? Even if you are going to do what this idiot is thinking, I won’t nod you know. You should cherish your body more.」

「No, that’s 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. Isn’t 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. It’s perfectly profitable for both of you. Okay, it’s decided!」

「You are not to decide…!」

「Wait, it hurts, it hurts, ouch ouch!」

I make Canon eat my iron claw on the head. Let’s ignore his tapping.

Still, helping the housework, huh? Certainly, housework is a matter of life and death for me, and lately I haven’t had a delicious meal because I earnestly stayed at home. Everything was to spare time to go out to town, but it’s 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 won’t even have the time to complaint. But, I promise you that I’ll definitely make you stronger. …… Can you follow me?」

「Of course! One or two efforts, I’ll do my best at everything even if it kills me and shatters me into pieces! Because that’s 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.

「Let’s 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 won’t look at you unpleasantly.」

「Y-yes! I will do my best!」

That’s a good reply. Her energetic got a perfect score.

「Deris-san, you nonchalantly praised her looks… please don’t cause an accident, okay?」

「Hou, you are awfully challenging today, Canon-kun. I understand now how you think about me.」

「I’m 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, I’ll have him get scolded by Leader-sama later. Anyway, I’m as a master, huh……

「Um, can I introduce myself again?」

「Hmm? Ah, that’s right. I’ll be seeing you for at least a week from now. I’ll introduce myself too. I’m Deris Fahrenheit. Call me whatever you want.」

「Then, Shishou!」

「You don’t change it, huh.」

「Yes!」

…… It’s a bit ticklish.

「My name is Katsuragi Haruna. Haru in Haruna means I’ll eternally do my best wherever and anywhere I am. Na in Haruna means I’ll put a lot and plenty of my best in it! Shishou, I’ll 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 didn’t 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 should’ve 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. Let’s do that.

「… I’m just a magician like you who’s 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….
