My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 4. Growing warriors (1)

“Thelma, you worked hard.”

“Hey, talk to me again when needed. Of course you will get the money.”

That’s the standard of a tsundere.

But you’re not too happy to hear from the old man?

I looked up at the house while watching the carriage leave.

Since I was away from home for almost a month, I missed it quite a bit, but now that I realize it, I wonder if life in the duchy was more comfortable.

I miss the duke’s bed!

“Is this the Prause house?”

“Yes.”

I confidently answered Tina’s words. Then, the three warriors looked at each other, and their expressions became somewhat unsatisfactory.

“More than I thought… ….”

“It’s old.”

“Yes.”

It was the naked impression of the three warriors.

[Oh, what a nice house. Not bad.]

Phasma seemed to like it. Does it have any meaning if you like someone who only has a soul?

“But Prause.”

“What is it?”

“Why is your house far from the village?”

I don’t know that either.

Even when I tried to trace Prause’s memories, I couldn’t tell because the house was built before he was born.

“I don’t know. It’s the house my parents built.”

I said as I unlocked the door.

By the way, I emptied it for a month, so it wasn’t stolen, right? It’s a house with nothing to steal, but someone must have entered it.

Kikkik.

The decrepit door opens with a strange sound.

It feels like I’ve been through a year’s worth of events in a month.

Now, after raising my children to become independent, I will prepare for my old age by selling some artifacts.

Let’s enjoy life playing every day.

At the same time, life in the village is inconvenient, so it would be nice to go to Pretium and buy a house.

Just as I was thinking about that, the children and Ariel entered the house.

“Whoa, dust! I think it’s worse than living with Dink!”

Keep those sentiments aside.

“Prause seems frugal.”

No. If a commoner has a lot of money, how much is it?

Isn’t this a pretty nice house? Was I the only one who thought so?

“It’s a bit crude, but it doesn’t sound bad… ….”

Maria said, looking around cautiously.

“Prause, would you like to clean the house?”

“If you’re thinking of getting everything in one place and compressing it to get rid of it, don’t do it.”

“Don’t you know me too well? Phasma will be jealous.”

[No way…… ! Dear friend! Were you aiming for Eri?!]

Damn asshole couple, please don’t get me involved.

I shook my head.

“Still, I think the room is a bit small for a woman and children to live together.”

Ariel, who entered the house on her own, looked into this room and that room, fluttering her wing clothes that her fairies would wear.

“You sound like a woman. Ariel, you can easily go back and forth between the human world and the spirit world. Do not think well in our house.”

“Doesn’t that include me too?”

“No. Your business ends with receiving the aura.”

“Was Prause a man who took advantage of women and threw them away?”

‘Because it’s not.’

“If you say that again, I will kill you.”

I don’t know how to interpret it.

“No, you haven’t signed a contract yet! It might be helpful!”

When I answered firmly, he raised his voice, perhaps because he was offended.

“You’re not going to sign a contract with me, are you?”

“Um… ….”

What is it? Why are you worrying so much

Since there are four main attributes, there are also four Spirit Kings.

Basically, when a spirit contracts, it can only be done to one creature, but on the contrary, the creature receiving the contract can make overlapping contracts.

That’s why it was much better to choose one of the three heroes than a weak person like me.

It wasn’t even something to worry about.

“What are you thinking about? There is no need to worry, is there?”

“That’s it…… Because I know Prause is strong.”

Me? Why am i strong

To the subject that was teased for being weak just a few days ago.

Looking at Ariel, puzzled by the unknown sound, he remembered the phantom storm he had taught him to defeat Urca.

It was definitely powerful enough to wipe out a mountain, so it had an impact, but it was borrowed from the power of the artifact.

As much as it was a relic from the second half, it was able to generate more power.

It was never my strength. I was still weak.

“Don’t think about it, choose one of those children. Because only those children will be able to kill the Demon King.”

I looked around the master bedroom relentlessly and said, looking at the children exploring all over the house. Ariel let out her strange snort, and she spat out a nonsensical sound.

“In my eyes, you looked more like a warrior.”

If I were a hero, I would have filmed incomparable in another world. Can’t you see I’m beating myself up because I’m weak?

“…… Avoid useless words. If those kids knew you were a hero, they would feel burdened.”

“I will. But I think I care a lot about those children. Even if it seems harsh.”

“I want those children to be happy.”

I’m going to have a hard time in the future.

It’s okay to end with a happy ending.

“You say that in a blunt voice, so I don’t think you’re sincere.”

“Go away.”

“I wish I could learn to speak a little sweeter.”

The only thing I wasn’t restricted from was my actions. Expressions and words were beyond my control.

Recently though, sometimes things come out the way I thought.

Perhaps, when the facial expression management skill was temporarily released, flexibility was gained.

It still doesn’t change that he’s talking rudely.

She patted her on the shoulder as she laughed.

“Ah, I will live in this house anyway, so know that.”

“Is this your house? Did you get the shame and sell it?”

“That Prauss way of speaking was bought and sold? Even so, I’m a spirit king who has lived for hundreds of years. Do you know what it feels like to be talked down to by Praus, who only lived with you for 19 years?”

‘I have nothing to say.’

“What’s the big deal about being old?”

“What?!”

I can say that the filtering was very good this time.

After hearing my words, Ariel jumps up and frowns at her.

But do spirits care about age? I don’t even know how to set up the game.

“You called me an old man, so I won’t leave this house anymore.”

“…… Do as you please.”

You think Ji is Tina, who is now 10 years old.

If it wasn’t for the spirit king, I would have kicked him out of the ass.

“Prause!”

“What is it?”

“Look at this! A lot of dust!”

Anyway, he wiped the dusty shelf with his palm and showed it to me. He’s a real hit kid.

“Prause, I think you should start cleaning.”

“I-I’ll help too.”

Iris and Maria said, hiding immature Tina behind them.

“Do it.”

“Four!”

That’s how the cleaning uprising began.

* * *

“Looks like a decent place to live.”

Said Ariel, who crossed her arms with her shoulders tight.

“Why do you judge that?”

“Didn’t I help you too?”

“If the house is covered in dust because of the wind magic you used, I would like you to go to the spirit realm right away.”

“It happens again.”

You think I’m kidding?

[Friend, don’t you think Eri has a particularly harsh tone?]

Oops……. I’m afraid someone isn’t my girlfriend, I see her ignorantly defending her.

“Don’t you think you’re going to do something bad? Phasma, no matter how much you are a lover, don’t just defend it like that.”

And Ariel, how annoying it is to see the occasional provocation or gentle touch. Their mental age is worse than that of 10-year-olds.

I looked at the three children standing next to Ariel, thinking that I would be annoyed if I kept talking.

The children were looking around the house with elated and proud faces.

Then he glances at me once in a while. It seemed like he was inviting me to give him a compliment.

I brushed the children’s hair as well as dusted them.

“I had a hard time.”

The children smile and accept my touch. Especially Maria, as if asking for more, she quietly attached herself to me.

“It will be embarrassing, so let me heat the water. Wait a moment.”

Maria stops me from going into the bathroom with a match.

“Ah, Mr. Prause… I will do it. I can use that fire and water magic.”

Okay, as of today you are in charge of bathroom water.

I don’t have to chop firewood anymore! Yes!

“Prause, what can I do?”

“Prause! What can I do?”

“Both of you, when Maria prepares the water, take a bath together and rest. In the meantime, I will do the cooking myself.”

I went to the kitchen to wash my hands and check the ingredients. Fortunately, the dust didn’t seem to invade here.

As well as grains and vegetables, condiments and spices were well placed in the house.

It was perfect to use the self-made dishes used in modern times.

The price range of seasonings is overwhelmingly higher than that of cereals, but I didn’t care about that.

No matter what it is, it has to be delicious so kids like it.

Today’s menu was hamburgers.

Since it was in the Middle Ages, it may not be possible to make it as tasty as a hamburger sold in the market, but considering that ordinary people would eat potatoes or bread for a meal, it was a relatively luxurious meal.

Anyway, among the ingredients I bought was bread, so I just warmed it up a bit, and sliced lettuce, tomato, and cheese into thin slices.

Remembering the recipe for making ketchup and mayonnaise, I made sauces one by one.

After properly mincing the meat, seasonings and spices such as salt and pepper are added to enhance the flavor of the meat.

Afterwards, light a fire with matches and brown the meat.

[Looks like you have an amazing variety of knowledge.]

“Do you know how to cook Prause?”

“I know how to do a little. There were many times when I had to cook alone.”

“But I feel like I’ve never seen a dish like this before.”

“I see.”

I answered moderately and put the pot on the fire. It was for making soup.

While stirring the vegetables and seasonings, I flipped them over and over again to see if they were cooked.

For a while, the children who had finished bathing came out and smelled Petty.

“Wow, that smells delicious!”

“Prause, do you know how to cook?”

“Oh, that’s cool.”

The three children enter the kitchen excitedly and watch the cooking.

“Stop talking nonsense and dry your hair. Ask Ariel to use wind magic.”

“What? Are you using my magic for that?”

The response is absurd. There is no flexibility.

It’s already an uncomfortable medieval life, but wouldn’t it be easier to live while wasting magic?

“Isn’t it useless anyway?”

“I have nothing to say…… Then give me something Prause makes too.”

“There are no insectivores.”

I don’t think the spirit king was such a bother in the game.

When I said yes, Ariel snapped her fingers with a satisfied smile.

The children’s hair blows in the wind and quickly dries.

“Put the utensils down on the table. It will be over soon.”

“Okay!”

The kids answer excitedly and carry the tableware. I had high expectations for my cooking.

Well, since it’s a type of food you’ve never eaten before, you’re probably curious.

I smeared mayonnaise on the bottom of the bread and put the browned patties on top. After that, ketchup is applied, and lettuce, tomato, and cheese are piled up in layers. Finally, the burger was completed by covering the bread.

“Good.”

I glance at the hamburger that was made satisfactorily. The look wasn’t bad.

The soup that was boiled next to it was also finished. When I tasted it, the liver was just right.

Takes the prepared hamburger and soup pot to the table.

“Eat.”

“Prause! What dish is this?!”

“It is a dish called hamburger.”

“Hamburgers!”

“The way to eat is simple. Grab it like this in one go.”

A common posture of eating a hamburger.

Press the bread and bread tightly to make the contents stick together, then open your mouth wide and chew it all at once.

Even though I made it, the taste wasn’t bad.

“If you want it to be a little bigger, you can cut it with a knife and eat it. Eat whatever you feel comfortable with.”

The children who are interested in watching my eating method follow me. However, children with small mouths could not even push it in.

In the end, I cut it so it was good to eat.

“Oh, it’s delicious!”

Ariel admired as she placed her hand on her puffy cheek. The children also started to eat in a hurry, as if the engine had started.

“Delicious!”

“It tastes just like the food I ate at the duke’s house!”

“Really delicious… ….”

Listening to the admiration of the three children following Ariel, I suddenly hear the sound of smacking my lips.

[Friend, can’t I taste the taste too? Let me pretend.]

I burst into laughter at Phasma’s request.

Reluctantly, when I ate a hamburger after being possessed, he started to make a fuss with my snout, not knowing that the children were there.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever tasted something this delicious!”

“Ah, anyway, I will cook a lot in the future. All you have to do is eat deliciously.”

I quickly opened my mouth to evade.

“Me too?”

Ariel points to herself.

“Ariel, you are in charge of washing the dishes.”

“Eh… …. Too bad! Where is the person who makes the king of spirits wash the dishes?”

“Don’t think that if you do too much, you will get eaten.”

“Cheet. Got it.”

The taste of hamburger that even the king of spirits falls in love with.

I took another bite of the hamburger, thinking that I should use it often for cooking in the future.
