World Teacher – Other World Style Education & Agent

Sorry, I’m late, I was sick, I had some studying to do and I was sick and I had exams and I didn’t chose the right time to start translating this series, but, well, I hope you’ll enjoy this anyway ????

By the way, tell me it you’d like me to use more japanese expressions, like, “tdaiama” “Okaerinasai” “Hai” etc…

I changed the name of the old-man from Raioru to Lior, maybe you guys won’t like it but that’s how it translated apparently (Here my (bad?) sources: which can be made with seaweed)

Though I immediately try to head to the kitchen to cook it, Elena stops me midway and starts preparing tea.

【”Sirius-sama, shouldn’t you take a rest since you just came back?”】

【”hmm, is that so?”】

【”You guys should also go take a rest. Sirius-sama, I want to ask you for the reason behind your clothes getting torn.”】

She’s smiling but she’s giving off a very intense presence. I want her to stop making that face because, frankly speaking, It’s scary.

Thus, I easily explain that I met Lior.

【”Ehhh! You met THAT Goutsurugi?!”】

【”Is it that surprising?”】

His strength was terrific but, he only looked like a retired old man visually.

【”No no, I never met him but I can say for sure that’s he’s amazing. To the extent that he even appeared as the hero in books.”】 (Elena)

【”He’s also called a living legend.”】(Dee)

【”I heard that, too. He’d charge at any enemy camp by himself and make them surrender in only a day. He seems to have innumerable heroic episodes.”】(Elena)

【”Could it be that you challenged— as if~, there is no way that’s true, right~?”】(Noel)

【”I understand all this well. That person was really strong. Honestly, it was a very close victory.”】(Sirius)

【”Ha… Ahaha. Though it sounds like a joke, I can believe this if it’s you.”】(Noel)

Seriously, if they get surprised by each of my actions, there will be no end to this. Though that applies for Noel, Elena only nods with a consenting expression.

【”So your clothes got torn because you fought against that Goutsurugi. However, Sirius-sama, please don’t overdo it.”】(Elena)

【”But I won’t get stronger without overdoing it.”】(Sirius)

【”Still, though I can overlook it to some degree, I’ll say this again and again. Please don’t ever overdo it.”】(Elena)

【”I understand…”】(Sirius)

Though her words are kinda annoying, they come from pure worry about me. I guess she won’t back away even if I whine about it so the best thing to do is to do nod obediently. However, having her overlook my behavior is better but I can’t let Elena worry every time. I have to find a way to inform her of my safety, I’ll think about something.

【”Nevertheless, it’s an amazing story to meet someone like the legendary Goutsurugi and a rare elf in such a short span of time.”】(Noel)

【”Even if you say so, I just met them by accident.”】(Sirius)

【”I want to meet them too. I don’t know about Goutsurugi-san but I heard that elves are beautiful. Sirius-sama, that person was a pretty woman, right? Could it be that you fell in love?”】(Noel)

【”That’s no good. Even is she’s a beauty and an elf, I have to meet her properly, I won’t permit this if I think that she’s not suited.”】(Elena)

It’s hopeless, Elena’s eyes are just like those of a mother-in-law. Well, I can’t imagine her scolding or blaming Fia for omitting a step while cleaning. The other party is the one who fell in love…… I can’t say that. Though the kiss was just a form of gratitude, Elena would surely snap if she were to know about it.

【”He said that they can’t meet for at least a decade, right? Then forget about the elf, today’s event is more important.”】(Noel)

【”Yes, then please be really careful.”】(Elena)

【”Got it. Well then, I guess it’s about time to go cooking. Dee, get me two pieces of tofu out of the warehouse. I’ll use it to cook.”】(Sirius)

【”I understand.”】(Dee)

Now then, I’ll try to make some Yosenabe. (TLN: A variety of Nabe, it appears a lot in manga)

This world doesn’t have much seasonings nor does it have any good soup stock matching vegetables and meat. When I found the sea, I remembered the existence of kelp/kombu. I found something that had the same shape and atmosphere, I checked it for poison but there was none and so I’m cooking it as an experiment. (TLN: He says Dashi again)

First, I use a squeezed dry dishcloth to wipe off the dirt on the surface of it and I put it in a saucepan filled with water which I then simmer on a medium flame. Just before it starts boiling, I take out the kelp and just like this, the soup is done. Then, I cut the vegetables and the meat that Dee prepared into a moderate size, I put the difficult to boil materials in the soup and I cook them together. I regulate the taste with salt and sugar since there is no soy sauce. After letting it simmer some more, the tastes of the materials start to leak out and so the yosenabe is now complete. (TLN: Curious? Really?! )

【”Though the cooking method is easy, It looks delicious. However, I don’t know about the quantity per person.”】

【”This is a dish which isn’t actually supposed to be divided, rather, everyone has to eat from the same plate. I’ll explain when all members gather so let’s make dinner for now.”】

I prepare a small table with Dee taking notes next to me, everyone is now encircling the pot. By the way, since there is no gas stove, I put up a fire magic tool below on a weak setting. Elena and Noel tilt their necks looking at the completed Nabe. (TLN: Nabe = saucepan)

【”Is this Nabe? Errr… where did the black grass go?”】(Noel)

【”It contains the tofu from earlier too, doesn’t it? Are there any special manners to eat this?”】(Elena)

【”I did add some seaweed at the end and I sunk it in the bottom but, the taste should suit you, Noel. And there aren’t any particular manners to follow. You can do what you want as long as you use a ladle to scoop the soup in the small plates and that you eat directly from the pot to keep the flavor.”】(Sirius)

【”Directly? That’s……”】(Elena)

Elena is making a bitter face. She probably thinks that it’s rude of an attendant to eat from the same pot as the master. However, that’s not my problem.

【”Nabe is a cookery that warms both the body and the mind and it’s eaten in happy family circles. That’s a fitting dish for us, don’t you think?”】(Sirius)

I grin as I take some vegetables directly from the pot and eat them. Fumu, though its flavor is plain and unsatisfying when compared to my previous life, it’s still a delicious dish.

【”Family…… a happy family circle huh? If it’s for the family then, it can’t be helped.”】(Elena)

【”That’s right, it’s just as Sirius-sama said, this dish is for us. Thus, without any further delay…… HOT!”】(Noel)

Though I prepared a spoon just in case, after I made chopsticks and started using them some time ago, all the members started doing the same. Elena and Dee soon became accustomed to it but Noel still lacks experience and loses her grip of the materials, making them fall into the soup which makes it splash back on her.

【”You’re still not accustomed to it, I’ll scoop it in the small plate for you.”】(Dee)

【”Uuh, thank you Dee”】(Noel)

Dee follows-up without any delay. You guys just hurry up and start dating. I’ll bless you with all my power.

【”The compatibility of the soup and the tofu is very good. I’m probably going to eat a lot.”】(Elena)

【”The tofu is also good for the body and has a diet effect.”】(Sirius)

【”Is that true?! Dee, more tofu, please.”】(Noel)

【”Got it.”】(Dee)

【”Slow down, the pan won’t run away. It’s hot so eat carefully.”】(Sirius)

【”Of course. But that won’t be a problem after letting it cool that much…. Hot!”】(Noel)

That’s due to Noel having a tongue very sensitive to heat because of her being from the Cat subrace. Moreover, that doesn’t go well with tofu which is cold on the surface but hot inside. This girl never falls short to my expectations. (TLN: He’s not praising her)

After finishing the meal that satisfied me both mentally and physically, I helped Dee and Noel with their training. I call it training but I just helped Dee in making a new recipe for a dish and Noel in practicing the magic picturing that I taught her. I only give them an advice from time to time but that seems to be sufficient for them. Though it’s easier and better for me not to have to work more than necessary, it still makes me feel kinda lonely as a former teacher. Because I’m merely advising these two, I can’t say that they’re my students.

When I heard Lior’s story this morning, I thought it was sad but I also started throbbing from remembering my old self.

Aah… I want to get a disciple.

I go to sleep while harboring these hazy feelings.

Though i’m anxious, drowsiness comes easily thanks to my giving it my all against Lior.

After that, my daily work looked something like this.

Physical and magical training.

Studying of this world’s knowledge.

Searching in the next continent.

Gathering money to get into school.

And, newly added, sham fights with Lior.

Every day goes by in this way and I keep growing up nicely.

And then, one year later.

A fateful encounter approaches not far from here.
