"I'm sorry for letting you hear an unpleasant thing" The handsome polar bear said as he walk towards me. "Well then let's go to the Knight's office."
The scene right now is completely horrendous, as the knights are all left lying there while we left the training ground.
"This is Isarai-sama. I have brought her here, thinking that she might want to take a walk around the palace."
"A,a"
"Isara-sama, this person here is mostly the Captain guard of the palace."
"Nice to meet you"
"A, a"
"Please tell properly to the knight guards of the palace about Isarai-sama. Never mistreat her and treat her with respect."
"I get it."
The guard captain's seems like he's around 60 years old and after that we were roughly introduced with each other.
But somehow, his voice seems to be shaking.
... ...Well it couldn't be help. Next to me, the handsome polar bear is looking at him as if the other party is a scum.
Deep within his eyes, he's someone kind... ... or so I thought. Right now not even a spec of kindness remains. Instead, it's the north pole. It's quite the north pole.
And after doing some greeting with the knights, we returned back to my room.
It seems like I just witness an amazing scene and met with all sorts of people. I'm tired.
'Fu uuu'
I took a deep breath. As I sat down the sofa.
While the handsome polar bear is in front of me, with one knee bending.
"I apologise for the rudeness done by the knights' ", he said. With his one hand on top of his heart.
A...this appearance. I just saw this awhile ago. That's why I immediately shake my head.
"No. There's nothing for you to apologise for. Though it's true I was quite annoyed by the words just then but you did defeat them to the ground like that so right now I'm feeling quite refreshed."
That's right. The black feelings that appeared in my heart is now gone.
I'm sure it was because of the handsome polar bear, with a sword skill so fast to the naked eye, he made all of them eat dirt.
"You were really strong. Too strong. It was to the point that it was unbelievable to me"
Un. That's because everyone fainted right there and then and with just a wooden sword, a real sword was broken.
It's nothing but a mystery.
"That's right. That was something I wanted to check so I wanted to go to where the knights are. The moment when I ate Isarai-sama's dish, a sudden burst of strength came over me and at the center of my body I could feel some heat rising" (T/n: sounds (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖) )
He said as he raised his face and looked at me with his blue eyes. Those blue eyes that looked different than the one he had back at the knight's office. Now, it's not scary.
"Until now there wasn't much opportunity for Isarai-sama to go out of your room. But this time, I'm sure you have places you want to see, that's why it is important that the knights know your face. It would also be easier for you to move around and the knight will also be able to properly do their jobs...is what I thought but..."
The handsome polar bear's expression turned grimmed.
I see. The handsome polar bear was thinking of checking the changes that happened in his body that's why he wanted to spar and for the palace guard knights to know me, that's why we went there. Thinking that it would be for my sake...
"I didn't expect that even Isarai-sama would be spoken bad off... ... . As a knight like them, it is nothing but embarrassing"
And that's why he's deeply regretting it right now. That's why he brought me there...even though he could just go there by himself and tell me.
... ... He really is kind.
With his eyebrows a bit lower than usual.
That's why I looked back at his blue eyes, and smiled at him saying that "It's okay"
"No. No. I'm actually glad that I came with you besides I was to able see you looking very cool."
"... ...I see"
"There were a lot of people but who'd have thought, that with just one swing from you they were all defeated. It was something I normally wouldn't even be able to see."
"I also found that a bit mysterious. In the center of my body, I could feel a heat rising inside me and when I tried to release a little, who'd have thought that something like that occured"
When I told him it was amazing, The eyes of the handsome polar bear looked away at mine for a bit, as if he's at a loss for something but then as if he nodded, as if realising something.
"E? Could it be that, that scene happened for the first time?"
"Yes. Normally, I'd need to at least strike them twice"
Well...normally huh.
"And, I can really do break a sword with a wooden sword but this time, instead of breaking it, it feels like I cut through it."
"A, I knew it...that one was cut, huh"
'Amazing' is what I irresponsibly said but as expected of the handsome polar bear.
But while I was thinking about things like that, with a low voice the handsome polar bear smiled and said, "It seems like the dish cooked by Isarai-sama has some mysterious power"
"A mysterious power"
"If someone eats it, they become strong."
"If someone eat is, they become strong." (T/n: Isarai has been repeating his words)
Is that something like the one where you eat 'that' (t/n: spinach) canned food and powers up? or that sparkling twinkling one...I want it!
"Yes. I'm not sure the extent of the effect or how effective it was but it is obvious that it increases one's physical state, like it replenishes one's ki (aura?) or your energy.
"...Err...So...Normally, a normal dish (here) would not have this sort of effect?"
"Yes. There shouldn't be any skill that will give 'power' to someone. In Isarai-sama's case, your cooking increases a person's strength/power. Or so I think..."
The handsome polar bear paused for a bit and then... ....
"Isarai-sama"
With his sharp yet kind blue eyes, he looked at me.
... ...Ye...Yes!
Somehow, I feel like I just experienced something similar.
