And so, I made a goal for it on my Ko-Fis page; Id really appreciate every penny you donate for it.
I hope it wont annoy anyone, and thats all for it.
Thank you very much, and heres my Ko-Fis /nyxtranslation
NB: I didnt include different world cheat as its the latest volume published for now.
Heres the chapter, enjoy~
Part 2
Its not often that I invite someone to Sage-sans house, so it was somewhat refreshing to see Iris-san in Sage-sans house. Until recently, Lexia-san used to come over for whatever reason, but lately, her visits had been decreasing. Well, its strange for a princess to visit such a dangerous place so often, isnt it?
But Master Usagi, who I trained with every day, had actually never entered Sage-sans house. Hes always just training with me in the garden.
By the way, once there was a time when Lexia-san tried to cook in Sage-sans kitchen No, that cant be considered cooking? The only thing I remembered was that it was very dangerous
I was shuddering as I remembered that moment, and Iris-san was looking around the kitchen.
Ara its so well maintained. As Yuti-chan said, you are usually the one who does the cooking, arent you?
Yes, well
Woof?
Fugo?
Hey, its time to eat. Hurry up.
As I explained the cooking utensils places to Iris-san, Night, Akatsuki, and Ouma-san also came to the kitchen.
When Iris-san saw Night and the others, she widened her eyes.
C-come to think of it Ive been wondering about this since we met at the Regal Kingdom
Oh, I havent introduced them to you, by the way. This is my family, Night, Akatsuki, and Ouma-san.
Woof.
Fugo.
Hmph.
Night sat up neatly and let out a single bark, while Akatsuki responded at his own pace as his usual self, raising his right paw in a carefree manner. And Ouma-san, needless to say, showed no interest in Iris-san and laid down comfortably on the floor.
As I smiled at the three of them, Iris-san froze.
Hmm, whats wrong, Iris-san?
B-Black Fenrir?
Ah, Night, is it? Apparently, hes from such a race. I heard theyre rare and very strong
A Black Fenrir is not something that can be described in such simple terms as rare and very strong, you know!
Eh?
Affirmative. Yuuya, your perception is a little odd.
T-thats
Ive been told the same thing by Yuti, but did I say something so strange? Ouma-san said that if its only about strength, its a race that is comparable to himself, but I dont really feel that way about it either.
More importantly, when I see Night in his daily life, he doesnt seem to be as unpredictable as Ouma-san, and hes very smart, so I dont really understand such a statement.
Well, whatever it is, Night is Night, right?
When I stroked Night with this in mind, he narrowed his eyes and rubbed his body against my hand. Mmm, as I thought, hes cute.
Then, perhaps envying Night, Akatsuki slipped under my other free hand and pressed his head against it.
Buhi. Fugo~.
Yes, yes, Ill stroke you too.
By the way, whats that red pig?
Akatsuki? I heard that Akatsukis race is called [Mouju], but I dont know much about them. Master Usagi said that they are one of this planets self-purification mechanisms, and they play a similar role to those of the Holy such as Iris-san and Master Usagi
..Then, what about the little dragon?
Ouma-san is an existence from the legend called the [Genesis Dragon]. I dont know much about the details, but I heard that he is incredibly strong
Well, Ive never seen him fight. Considering how intimidating he was when I first met him, there was no way he was weak. In fact, its hard to believe that an existence that has been alive since the time this planet was created would be considered weak.
More than that, when I introduced Night and the others again like this, it made me realize that I still dont know much about these three at all. However, they are still an important part of my family.
When I finished introducing everyone, I looked at Iris-san again, and she had a dumbfounded expression on her face.
U-um Iris-san?
Sigh! I am really surprised at how crazy it is wait, no, no, no! Its just strange!
Eh?
How can you be so calm? Its Black Fenrir, you know? Its a race that all of us Holy, and even our enemy, the Evil, would be no match for even if we all joined together. In addition, there is also a holy beast that is born with a special power to fight against Evil. And to top it all off, the Genesis Dragon, you say its really unbelievable!
Affirmative. Your reaction is just right.
In response to Iris-sans exclamation, Yuti nodded quietly. W-well, Ouma-san is surely an extraordinary existence, but are Night and Akatsuki really that much of a cause for concern? Theyre just cute and dependable family members of mine.
Then Ouma-san, who seemed to have been listening to Iris-sans words, opened one eye from his prone position and turned his sharp gaze on Iris-san.
Ho? Little girl. You dont believe that Im the Genesis Dragon, do you?
Huh?
It does not affect me, but I could tell that Ouma-san was intimidating Iris-san because her complexion instantly turned white, and she began to sweat profusely.
Seeing this, I hurriedly warned Ouma-san.
Hey, Ouma-san! Dont be so quick to threaten people like that!
W-what is it? Yuuya, you say that, but
It would be nice if someone can just accept that Ouma-san is the Genesis Dragon. But, it is a problem if you had to react every time like this happened.
M-mm Youre right, but
And todays meal will be made by Iris-san. If Ouma-san intimidates her, she wont be able to cook.
What? I-it would be bad! Im hungry already! The food must be prepared as soon as possible!
Ouma-san seemed to have stopped intimidating Iris-san when he replied in a panic to my words, and Iris-san was gasping for air over and over again.
Hah! Hah! Hah!
Iris-san! Are you okay?
Hah Hah Y-yeah T-thank you
No problem! Im sorry, too
Its okay. I also made a rude remark Ouma-sama right? Please forgive my rudeness.
Iris-san said and bowed to Ouma-san. Then, Ouma-san snorted.
Hmph. Just remember that. And there is no need to address me as such. Its annoying.
Yes. I understand. Thank you very much.
The one who can speak strongly against Ouma-san is only Yuuya.
Looks like it
Eeeh?
I dont think thats the case but I do believe that Ouma-san would understand if I explained it properly.
When I thought about that, Iris-san turned her gaze to me once again.
As expected, your familys fighting force is crazy. It feels strange for us to be worrying about Evil
W-well, isnt that okay? However, Ouma-san said that he wouldnt participate in the battle against Evil
Is that so? When it comes to the Genesis Dragon, he probably wont be interested in our fight But will the Black Fenrir Night be participating?
Yes. Night will fight with us. Hes still a kid, though, so hes still growing up, just like me.
No, even though hes still growing up, its very reassuring to have the legendary Black Fenrir as a companion. Night-chan, please take care of me, okay?
Woof!
Iris-san bends down and gently pets Night. In response to Iris-san, Night barked cheerfully. Its as if he was saying, Leave it to me!
Buhi, buhi, buhi~!
Oh, youre going to help too, right, Akatsuki-chan?
Buhi
When Akatsuki, annoyed by the fact that Iris-san petted only Night, squealed as if to assert himself, Iris-san stroked Akatsuki as well. Then Iris-san, who had petted both of them for a while, stood up and said with a cheerful expression.
Now, lets make some food to eat. Can I use the ingredients from this house?
Yes, please.
Ive got many ingredients, from the outrageous vegetables from Sage-sans garden to the monster materials Ive acquired from training with Master Usagi and from my personal explorations of the Great Devils Nest.
When Iris-san got the ingredients, she started cooking, and I decided to watch Iris-san cook for a while.
No, its not that I dont trust her, but there are precedents, like Lexia-san. A knife flew into the air at that time, after all
When I thought about that, Iris-san picked up one of the ingredients I had prepared, the [Godspeed Potato], and threw it lightly into the air.
And then.
Kiiiiiiin.
Whoa!
The potatoes that were thrown into the air were instantly chopped up and fell slowly onto the cutting board. No way, did she use the Sword Saint technique for cooking? Is that okay? That technique is a power to defeat Evil, right?
[Thousand Swords]!
Not shredded!
After that, Iris-san took out a cabbage, which, similarly to the potato, she threw into the air and sliced it into strips in an instant. I dont know if its a good idea to use the Holy technique for mere slicing!
[Spiral Rotation Slash]! [Unparalleled War Dance]! [Twilight Slash]!
Peeling, chopping, and slicing thinly such casual knife work were all done with the Sword Saint techniques. And at the same time, with the effect of my [Evil Dens Eye], I also mastered each of those techniques.
However, I couldnt exactly be happy about it. After all, it was not something that I acquired through training; it was something acquired just by watching a part of the cooking process!
As I rolled my eyes at the unexpected cooking method, Kuro, who was inside me, woke up with a yawn.
Fuwahhhh. Did you finish your training? Ah? Why is the Sword Saint cooking in this house?
N-no, um after the training was over, Yuti told me it was time to eat. Then, in order to deepen the friendship, Iris-san decided to cook for us
Heh? That Sword Saint is going to cook for you
Kuro seemed to be somewhat impressed, and he turned his attention to Iris-sans cooking as well as mine.
Hey, Yuuya. Did my eyes go crazy? That Sword Saint is using Holy technique for cooking?
Its not a mistake; shes really using it.
The technique of the strongest of the Holy, the Sword Saint, is used for cooking and from the perspective of the Evil, this is a complicated feeling
I guess so
Kuro was now a part of my life, but originally he was a part of the Evils power. The fact that the techniques of the Sword Saint were used in cooking must be an indescribable feeling.
While Kuro and I were talking about this, Iris-sans cooking proceeded, throwing ingredients one after another and chopping them up in an instant. But she wasnt just cutting them up randomly. Each of the ingredients was cut to a specific size.
This is the way it is prepared and all the ingredients have a certain extraordinary vibe, and the seasonings are only of the highest quality. How can this be?
Iris-san was astonished when she saw the seasonings in the kitchen. W-well, as for the seasonings, theyre all from Earth. Ive moved them to glass jars from this world so that people wont know theyre from Earth though.
After the ingredients were prepared, she started cooking using the frying pan in the kitchen, and the food was finally ready.
Iris-sans cooking skills were nothing to worry about. Although I was surprised that she used the Sword Saint technique at first, I could tell that she was used to cooking regularly.
I-its done.
Hmm. Lets see how good it is.
Affirmative. Lets see what she can do.
I couldnt understand why Ouma-san and Yuti were acting so high
While amazed at their behavior, I helped Iris-san carry the food to the table.
Let me help you.
T-thank you eh, t-t-this feels just like a newlywed couple!
Eh?
I-its nothing! Come on, lets eat quickly!
While tilting my head against the suddenly excited Iris-san, each of us took a seat.
Well then Itadakimasu
I immediately took a bite of Iris-sans food and was surprised by its taste.
Hmm! Its so delicious!
R-really? Its the first time Ive served it to someone but Im glad it turned out well.
It seemed that we were the first ones to try Iris-sans home cooking.
As Iris-sans cheeks reddened slightly at my words, Ouma-san, who had looked up to me just now, gobbled up the food.
Ouma-san also seems to find Iris-sans cooking suitable for his taste.
Ugh W-w-well, its not bad!
Why couldnt he just honestly say its delicious there? No matter how I looked at it, it looked as if he enjoyed Iris-sans cooking. Then Yuti, who was also acting high and mighty, distorted her face in frustration and took a bite of the food.
Defeat. The Sword Saints food is delicious
No, what were you competing in?
I couldnt help but smile bitterly at Ouma-san and Yutis words and actions. By the way, Night and Akatsuki did not particularly complain from the beginning, and they ate Iris-sans food with relish. These two were so cute and honest.
Iris-san, who was looking at us with some happiness, suddenly opened her mouth.
Thats right. As one of your masters, Im going to continue to teach you many things And whenever you train with me, Ill cook for you.
Eh?
If you want, I can do your cleaning and laundry too.
No, no, no! I cant ask you to do that! Im your apprentice, after all
Thats why. If I do the housework for you, you can use that time to train yourself, right?
N-no, that may be true, but!
Its okay. You can leave it to Onee-san! Yuuya-kun should train without worry!
What should I do? Iris-san is spoiling me so much!
Ive been training with Iris-san for a while now, and Ive found that shes been more lenient with me than I expected. Of course, the training was tough, but she didnt push me as hard as Master Usagi; she suggested many breaks and tried to take care of me.
Thats very helpful, but if she spoils me too much, Ill become a good-for-nothing
When I was confused by Iris-sans words, she was somewhat taken aback by the euphoria.
Oh my efforts are paying off! If it keeps going like this were going to get married!
As I looked at Iris-san, who occasionally departed to some distant world, I pondered how I should persuade her.
