「Ah, I’m so full.」
After finishing her meal, Sam took out the tea he had prepared in the Item Box, poured it into a cup, and handed it to Lise, who smiled and sipped it happily.
「I didn’t know I could drink tea. Sam is really convenient, isn’t he?」
「It’s not me, though, it’s the Item Box.」
「At least my sister never put tea in the Item Box.」
「Oh, by the way, I and Ur met when she forgot to put food in the box and collapsed from hunger.」
「That’s just like my sister. She’s pretty clumsy, isn’t she?」
Looking back, it’s a fond memory.
It could be said that they met thanks to Ur’s clumsiness.
It’s not every day someone collapses from hunger while carrying an Item Box.
「Hey, Sam.」
「Yes.」
As he was enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea, he was quietly approached by Lise.
「Let’s talk for a minute.」
「Sure.」
He wondered what was up with the sudden change in tone after all the conversations they had been having.
But when he looked at her, she had a serious expression on her face, and Sam straightened his back.
「I know a lot about your past, Sam.」
「Yes, you do.」
「I’m sorry about that.」
「No need.」
「No, I’m sure you don’t find it very interesting that I, a complete stranger, know that you had a very unfair childhood.」
「I don’t mind. It’s in the past, and aside from my family, the servants were all very nice people, so it wasn’t that serious.」
Sam still has his memories from before he was reincarnated and became the Sam he is today.
.
Even though his family treated him badly, he was not lonely because he had a maid, Daphne, who was like a sister to him, and a butler, Derrick, who was like a grandfather to him.
Now Sam doesn’t have any family-like feelings for the people of Baron Reinbach.
The only things that mattered to him were Daphne and the others, the people he connected within town, and Ur.
Of course, as Lise said, he had no qualms about people knowing about his past, he knew it was inevitable, so it didn’t matter.
However, Lise seems to feel guilty about knowing about his past without Sam’s permission.
She’s a cheerful little girl, but inside she’s gentle and sensitive.
It’s just like her, he thought with a wry smile.
Maybe this hunt was just a chance for her to have some time to talk to herself.
「I know Sam, but he doesn’t know anything about me.」
「Ahh, well…」
「I just thought it was kind of unfair.」
「I don’t think so.」
「Yes, it is. Besides, I wanted Sam to get to know me, so I asked him to come hunting with me.」
「Oh, I see.」
「My past is not very interesting, but will you listen?」
「Of course, if you’ll tell me.」
Sam already knew that she had been a disciple of the Sword Saint.
But she was talking about it in the past tense.
He thought there might be a reason for this, and secretly he was curious.
But Sam didn’t have the taste to dig into a girl’s past.
So Sam was a little bit happy to see Lise approaching him like this, because it seemed to deepen his relationship with her.
Lise opened her mouth to Sam as if she had made up her mind.
「You know, I―――was married.」
