Chapter 16 Part2 (1/2)

Since Arisa summoned me to this world, it's already been a year.

I was permitted to hunt majuus without Arisa.

This is because of something that happened when I, as usual, was dead tired on the sofa in the living room.

”Hey Arisa, do you have any plans for the future? Specific ones?”

On the other side of the table, Arisa was writing down a recipe for a new dish.

By the way, the t.i.tle of her notebook is [Ed and My Cookbook of Love].

Just by hearing that name, I felt too sweet, and felt like vomiting.

Arisa stopped writing, and curiously stared at me from behind her gla.s.ses.

”Do you think I have any?”

”Do you feel like you're alive right now?”

”I feel like I'm alive right now.”

Arisa made a face that said 'How's that!?'.

”We,ll……it's different if you have something you want to do though……” (TLN: Yes, that comma was there in the raws.)

Arisa put her hands on her red cheeks, and shook her head in refusal.

I sent a gaze of protest to her, but she dismissed it as a sweet gaze.

I want to be with Arisa as much as possible.

That's because for the two of us, our happiest states.

⸺But what if something happens, and we get separated, forcing us to temporarily survive by ourselves?

Honestly I can't imagine that, but just in case a situation like that occurs so I can survive alone, I decided to hunt alone occasionally.

My first time, Arisa worried about me, just like a [mother watching over her child go on their first errand].

”Ed, will you really be okay alone?

Are you missing anything?

What about your bento? Your spare weapons? Your tent just in case of an accident? Your spare barrier?

Also that, your, uh, [You always know where they are]?

If you pull the cord on the bottom of that, I'll know where you are, so use it if you ever think it's dangerous.

Also, that and this.”

”Thanks Arisa, you saved me……”

By the way, I wasn't able to leave within that day.

And this time.

”I've made a lot of progress……”

Already, I've stepped into an area of the forest that I've never been to before.

This morning, I told Arisa that I'll be going far away and won't be back for a couple of days.
