Chapter 66: Request From Lise Before He Left
Translated by AmaLynne
Edited by AmaLynne
The morning of the day Sam was leaving for the mansion of Ur mentor, Delight Sinatra.
As he was getting ready, Lise knocked and then came into the room.
「Good morning, Sam.」
「Good morning, Lise-sama. Is something wrong?」p
Lise smiled at Sam and reached over and adjusted his collar.
Then, looking a little uncomfortable, she searched for the right words.
「Um, I’ve come to ask a favor of Sam.」
「Please tell me anything. I’ll do anything for Lise-sama.」
「My. No, Sam. If you say that to a woman, you can’t take it back… I want to say that, but today I need a serious favor. It’s about Delight-sama.」
「I’m coming to see him today. Is something wrong?」
Sam waits for Lise to speak.
Lise was lost for words for a while, but then, perhaps deciding what she wanted to say, she began to speak.
「I told you that his daughter Francesca was taking care of Delight-sama, didn’t I?」
「I remember.」
「Francesca…… Fran is a friend of mine.」
「……Is that so?」
「She wants Delight-sama to be able to return as a wizard again. So I want you to help him, even if it’s a small thing.」
「I wish there was something I could do to help.」
The current situation with Ur’s master drinking was something Sam could not overlook.
He did not know all of Delight Sinatra’s circumstances or feelings, but it was not a problem that could be left unattended.
On the other hand, he also wonders what he can do, since he has not even reached adulthood in this world.
Lise denies Sam’s concern.
「I’m sure that Delight-sama will be concerned about Sam, who is Sister Ur’s successor. I’ve heard that he has been drinking more and more since she left, and I’m sure he can’t ignore Sam.」
「Is that so?」
「We can’t do anything for you. I’m sorry to leave it up to you, but please, Sam.」
「I understand. As Ur’s disciple, I will do my best to help.」
「―――Thank you.」
Lise spoke words of gratitude and gently hugged Sam’s still small body.
「Wait, Lise-sama!」
Her body warmth and sweet scent are transmitted to Sam, and his heart jumps.
Sam’s body stiffens with nervousness, and he becomes flustered.
He was worried that Lise would hear his noisy beating heart.
「Fufu, thank you. Sam would do anything for us, and he was so cute.」
「…I’m not happy when people say I’m cute.」
「I know, you’re not a girl. But that’s what’s so cute about you.」
Sam was a child in age, but he wasn’t happy to be treated like a child.
Naturally, Sam puffed out his cheeks.
Lise, who did not miss such a small gesture of Sam’s, poked his cheek with her finger with a twinkle in her eye.
「P-Please don’t!」
「I don’t know if it’s because you are my first discipline, or because I consider Sam like a little brother. I can’t help but think of Sam as cute and cuddly.」
「……honored.」
「Geez, don’t get mad at me. I’m sorry, I just wanted to tease you because Sam was kind of cute. I won’t do it again… maybe.」
「Promise me that here, now.」
Sam and Lise were having such an exchange.
「―――Ahahaha.」
「Fufufu.」
Both sides burst out laughing.
Sam found that his nervousness at the prospect of meeting Ur’s master had unwittingly dissipated.
He decided to accept Lise’s feelings for her friend and try to help.
The two of them laughed for a moment.
Sam smiles at Lise.
「I’ll do my best to take care of Delight-sama and Francesca-sama.」
「Thank you, Sam. Please do.」
「Yes. Well, I’m off then.」
「Bye.」
Lise saw him off and he climbed into the carriage waiting outside the mansion.
She waves to Sam, and Sam waves back.
(It’s strange, I’m only leaving the mansion for a little while, but I’m a little sad.)
Sam felt uncomfortable being alone in the carriage.
