I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1060: Trip with Fate ③

Deciding to release the huge fish we had caught, as it wasn’t suitable for eating, I then moved with Fate-san to sit under a large tree near the lake.

We had a fierce battle with the fish, which conflicted with our original goal of taking it easy, so we decided to take a break.

Well, I already caught that big fish, so I’m already happy enough as it is.

Sitting on the cushion together with Fate-san, which she had enlarged to accommodate the both of us and was still floating in the air, we ate sweets and chatted like earlier.

The cushion seemed to be a little firmer than before, making it feel like a sofa.

[Hnnn~~ The shade here is great. I feel like taking a nap.]

[Indeed, the temperature is nice too. Well, sleeping under this shade also feels like a waste though.]

[I know what you mean. This sure is a nice place. How did you find this place, Kai-chan?]

[Ahh~~ Errr, I found an article about this place in a magazine.]

Taking the magazine that featured high-end tourist spots from my magic box, a table different from the one with our snacks appeared.

Realizing that she probably wanted me to spread it out on the table, I opened the relevant page and placed it on the table.

[Heehhh~~ I see. This magazine sure has some beautiful pictures in it. I haven’t read them in a while, but magazines these days really have become brilliant~~]

[Do you not read books often, Fate-san?]

[Hmmm, I don’t read much. It’s been a long time since I’ve last read a magazine. Seeing it after a long while, it looked interesting~~]

[There are quite a lot of tourist spots in the magazine, but I thought Fate-san would find the other tourist spots too troublesome to hang out in.]

[Unnn. As expected of Kai-chan. Crowded places really are troublesome, aren’t they~~]

Fate-san, who was looking at the magazine while laying down on the cushion was, how should I say this…… It felt like she was completely in her relaxation mode.

The two of us are looking at a magazine together, so our bodies are pretty close to each other, and if anything, Fate-san’s long hair is touching my hands, so my heart is beating really fast.

[Unnn?]

[Ahh, no, I was just wondering what we should do afterward.]

Fate-san suddenly looked towards me with a curious look on her face, so I hurriedly said something in response.

[Ahh~~ Let’s see. It doesn’t seem like you wanna go fishing anymore, so why don’t we move indoors? Don’t they have something like a terrace over there? Hanging out over there feels like it’d be nice.]

[That certainly sounds nice. However, I think it’s about time, so why don’t we have lunch?]

[Ehh? Ahh, I see…… Well, I don’t usually eat, so I haven’t thought of that.]

It was almost lunchtime, so I thought we should start preparing lunch, but Fate-san, who basically never eats, didn’t seem to have the lunchtime in mind, and for a moment, she looked at me in puzzlement.

[Well, though I say that, I’ve bought a lot of food, so they should be prepared before long.]

[Fumu fumu…… It’s that, isn’t it? If I remember correctly, the cottage is equipped with all the ingredients, right?]

[Yes, the best ingredients are stored in a large magic box that is provided, and we can freely eat what’s in it.]

The concept of the cottage is that it’s a quiet place where one can relax, so even though it may not be fancy, this is still a very high-class tourist destination, and a lot of attention to detail has been implemented.

They have a wine cellar where you can drink freely, and it’s cleaned and replenished after use, so there’s no need for the guests to clean up after themselves.

The ingredients they had prepared and the different furnishings set up were of the highest quality. The cottage is even equipped with a number of high-grade magic tools.

When Fate-san heard my words, she became silent for a moment, looking as if she was thinking about something. As I waited, wondering if she had any requests in mind, Fate-san spoke a few moments later.

[……Hey, Kai-chan. Since we’re at it, how about I make our lunch?]

[Eh? What’s the matter, Fate-san…… You’re suddenly saying something that’s unlike you.]

[Well~~ Even when I myself said that, I also felt like there was something out of place with what I said.]

With all due respect, for Fate-san, who doesn’t need to eat and often finds things troublesome, the word “cooking” doesn’t match her.

I mean, probably self-aware that what she’s saying doesn’t suit her, she seemed to have a complicated expression on her face.

[No, you see, Kai-chan was the one who planned everything for this trip, and you even prepared our snacks. That’s why, I wanted to do something for you~~ is what I thought.]

[Fate-san……]

[Well, even though I wanted to relax, I also want to do something like a lover would. That’s why, I’ll make lunch for you. It’ll be something simple though.]

When I saw Fate-san smiling as she said that, I felt very blessed. The very fact that she’s trying to do something for my sake makes me very happy.

[……By the way, Fate-san, do you have any cooking experience?]

[Returning that question back to you, do you think I would have any cooking experience?]

[I knew it.]

[Well, I should be able to handle it…… I think.]

Unnn, more than anything, I’m just happy for Fate-san’s thoughts. With this in mind, I promise myself. No matter what kind of food she serves, I will finish it.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [!? T- This is…… the presence of sugar…… I- I need to leave early……]

Doctor M : [Rest assured!!! It will be alright, for I am here!]

Serious-senpai : [Whaaaaaaat!? I- Impossible…… F- For you to already be “here”…… I- It’s too early……]
