v2c13 (2/2)
“Yes.”
“You can order whatever you like. You can drink as much juice as you want too.”
“Can I really?”
“Mm, because Sati is doing her best with training.”
“Thank you very much, Masaru-sama!”
It was a bit early for lunch at the Dragon’s Breath restaurant, so there weren’t many guests. We sit at a suitable place and I read the menu on the wall to Sati. She’s become able to read somewhat, but she still can’t read it all.
Sati is hesitating on which one should she choose with sparkling eyes.
A clerk came to take our orders.
“A daily special and this steak, please. Sati, have you decided yet?”
“Yes. This…..and this please.”
“You can order more, you know?”
“Then that one too……”
“Don’t want more?”
“……then that one too please.”
Well, it should be fine with this. They serve a substantial amount here. Even Sati will probably leave some of it.
“Also, two fruits juice for her and one for me, please.”
I watch Sati as she looks around restlessly as we are waiting for the food. I think Sati became a bit rounder than before. Must be because I let her eat plenty every day and she also exercises. She is still slender, but she doesn’t look like skin and bones like before.
The food is being brought. Taste worthy of a professional. Angela is also good at cooking, but her cooking feels more like home cooking, so it gives off a different impression. Especially this steak. All they did was fry this steak, but I wonder why it’s this delicious. Is there a difference with the method of frying or the processing, I wonder.
When I let Sati eat a slice of it, she said ‘It’s delis.h.i.+ous!’, with her face beaming.
Should I let Sati be an apprentice here in the future? Would the old man teach her, I wonder…..
Sati ate everything. However, she forced herself to finish it, so she looks to be in pain.
“You didn’t need to force yourself to eat it all.”
We speak as we walk away from the shop.
“But to leave them, even though they were that delicious…….”
“We could’ve just asked them to pack it up for us.”
“!?”
It looks like she didn’t think of that.
“Let’s go there again sometimes.”
“Yes, Masaru-sama!”
When we got home I had Sati sit beside me.
“I went to the Slave Merchant earlier today.”
“!!”
Sati was surprised and looked like she will cry. It seems this subject is still very delicate for her after all.
“No no, it wasn’t about Sati. You know, there was that big sister you got along well before, right?”
“Yes.”
Sati looks relieved. But she once again puts on an uneasy expression.
“Uhm….is there something about big sister?”
“Yeah, apparently she went on to be a maid in a wealthy person’s mansion. They said the person who bought her is a good person, so she will be well taken care of.”
“Is that true!? I was, wondering about it the whole time……. but big sister said that if I was bought then forget everything that happened there immediately……..”
Nn. Nn. Good for you.
“They couldn’t tell me exactly where she went, but she must be living happily.”
“You went out of your way to ask about it, right. Thank you very much, Masaru-sama.”
“Nn. I just dropped in on the way.”
Well then, the next is treating her eyes. First, I open the menu and raise Restoration Magic to level 4.
【Restoration Magic Level 4】
(1) Heal (small) (2) Heal , Detoxify (3) Regeneration , Cure Disease
(4) Area Heal , Extra Heal
Extra Heal. This looks useful. If this doesn’t work either, then let’s raise it to level 5.
I tear away Sati, who is hugging me tightly.
“Well then. Let’s try to cure your eyes one more time today. Can you close the windows and make the room dark?”
I make Sati close her eyes after she came back to the sofa.
【Extra Heal】 Beginning chant–
To be expected of level 4, its chant is long. It must be about the same length as the Fire Storm spell of the same level. A huge amount of mana is also being gathered, so much so that I’ve become a bit hesitant whether if it’s a good idea to pour all this mana into Sati. Maybe I shouldn’t have done this immediately, but test it in some other way before instead.
The chant is finished. I hesitated a bit, but thinking that it’s too late for that now, I activated the magic.
Pou, a glow lights up the darkness. Then the light that shone in Sati’s eyes vanished immediately.
“Good, then open your eyes slowly. Slowly, okay?”
Sati opens her eyes slowly. Right after she looked towards me for a bit she hurriedly closed her eyes shut.
“What happened!?”
s.h.i.+t, was there some kind of mistake!?
“No, I can see, but suddenly my field of vision……”
Sati is blinking continuously. Then she looks my way.
“It’s alright now. If I focus like before then I see things extremely closely. So I was surprised by that.”
I see. It’s the effect of Hawk Eyes. It seems her eyes got healed properly. I let out a sigh of relief.
“This time it should be healed for real. Try to not move around today until you get used it. You don’t need to do anything until Angela comes over in the afternoon.”
“Yes, Masaru-sama. Uhm……”
“What is it?”
“Thank you very much.”
“Mn. It’s okay. Since I’ll be having Sati work in the future, even more so than before.”
“Yes, Masaru-sama! I’ll do my best!”
I bring some pudding over and the two of us eat them in the dark living room. While we were eating, I listened to Sati telling me about her training. It seems she is being trained quite thoroughly.
The instructors there are fundamentally spartan-types. Well, adventurers are also betting their lives, so no one complains and they just do it. As I listen to Sati, I check her Skills.
Skill Points 10P
Aural Detection Level 3 , Olfactory Detection Level 2 , St.u.r.dy , Hawk Eyes
Cooking Level 1 , Housework Level 1
Swordsmans.h.i.+p Level 1 , Archery Level 1 , Evasion Level 1 , s.h.i.+eld Level 1
She got four new combat skills. Let’s raise Swordsmans.h.i.+p and Archery by one level each. Next, I will raise them to level 3 after seeing how things turn out, and then it will be time for real battles.
As a general idea, my plan is to take our distance and bring down the enemy with magic and arrows. If we can’t take them down with that then I will take the front and do something. I can use Levitation too, so I don’t think it will be hard to get away if it gets dangerous.
Skill Points 25P
Swordsmans.h.i.+p Level 4 , Body Enhancement Level 2 , Skill Reset , Rasgrad World Standard Language
Everyday Magic , Clock , Fire Magic Level 4
s.h.i.+eld Level 2 , Evasion Level 1 , Spearmans.h.i.+p Level 1 , Hand-to-hand combat Level 1 , Stamina Recovery Enhancement , Willpower
Archery Level 1 , Throwing Skills Level 2 , Covert Action Level 3 , Stealthy Steps Level 2 , Sense Presence Level 2
Mana Perception Level 1 , Common Magic , Recovery Magic Level 4 , High-speed Chanting Level 5
Cooking Level 2 , Water Magic Level 1 , Wind Magic Level 1
“Sati, how are your eyes?”
“Yes. They are amazing. I got the hang of controlling them too.”
Good, then I don’t need to raise Recovery Magic even more. Let’s raise Wind and Water.
【Water Magic Level 3】
(1) Water Ball (2) Water Whip , Water Bullet (3) Water Wall , Ice and Snow
【Wind Magic Level 3】
(1) Wind Bullet (2) Wind Blade , Wind Wall (3) Lightning , Wind Storm , Flight
There are 15 Points remaining. Even if I raise Earth to 3 it will only cost me 10 so let’s do that. I think I will take Sense Presence Level 3 and Evasion Level 2 with the remaining 5 Points. I wonder if it’s alright to use all my Points. I won’t be able to use Skills Reset for a good while either, so let’s make sure to stay away from danger during this month.

The Skill list somehow became jumbled up and hard to read. I think I will submit a request for improvement in my Journal for today.
