"Oh..."
Careful not to spill the plate of stew in his hand, he walks through the camp lined with tents and arrives at his destination.
Yes, home.
There was no way that there were any artifacts in this forest, which was originally a monster's sphere of existence, and there was no house like this when we came to this place.
As you can imagine, this house was built by a Ojou-sama just to sleep in this camp.
Some earth-attribute magic involves building forts and walls, and this seems to be an application of this.
Although it is a house smaller than a fort, it is essentially a large-scale magic that is activated by multiple magicians working together.
For the students who were only apprentices, such great magic was only a burden, and as soon as they built this house, they were exhausted by the fatigue they had been up to.
This house is the crystallization of the blood, sweat, and tears of such students, but according to the Ojou-sama, it is "a terrible work that does not feel a shred of taste."
Because they happen to have the magic power of the earth attribute, they are literally used to the limit, and they are even criticized, so I think they can cry.
"Ojou, I brought you a meal."
"Ugh..., leave it there..."
When I entered the house, I found a Ojou-sama lying on the bed with her clothes on.
He probably jumped into bed as soon as he entered the house.
I don't even care that her skirt is pulled up and I can see her blue underwear.
I couldn't help but sigh.
The room was simple but equipped with the bare necessities of furniture such as beds and tables.
Most of the large furniture was made by magic on the spot, but the sheets, mattresses, and other items were carried by the students in charge of chores.
In fact, about half of the luggage carried by the students in charge of chores in this training was the personal belongings of these young ladies.
Look, I've brought you some food, so get up."
"No, I can't feed livestock like that."
He puts the food on the table and shakes his shoulder to wake him up, but when he glances at him, he buries his face in the pillow again.
Feeding livestock is a terrible term, but in fact, for the Ojou-sama, this training meal would be unbearable.
In this training, the students also need to make their own meals.
However, for nobles like the young ladies, it is the servant's job to cook the meals.
Most of them have never held a kitchen knife properly.
Will they cook their own meals?
The answer, of course, is no.
Then, who cooks their meals is the children of the lower aristocrats such as the baronial family who participate in this group as choreographers.
They are also nobles, but they are completely different from the senior aristocrats like the young ladies.
Many of their families have very little land, so their income is really tough, and they are basically poor.
However, they are able to survive as nobles thanks to the protection of the higher nobility like the Variers.
Naturally, they have to work for the senior nobility, and in situations like this, they are mainly forced to do chores.
Now, because they are poor, they have no money to hire extra servants, and most of them live in a way that is no different from that of commoners.
Because they are such people, many of them can cook for themselves to some extent.
Therefore, in this training, they are mainly supposed to cook.
The problem here is the difference in the level of diet between the two.
Specifically, there is a level of difference where a single dish of food like the young ladies eat can cover their food expenses for a month.
Of course, the food they usually made was just a deservance, and there was no way that the young ladies would be satisfied with such a dish.
You're going to be walking for a long time tomorrow, so you need to get good nutrition."
"Okay, I don't mind if I don't eat a little."
The Ojou-sama buries her face in the pillow and looks at me slightly.
Certainly, with the physical ability of a magical person, he would be able to move without any problem even if he skipped a meal at least one meal.
However, we have an obligation to take care of the health of our daughter.
I can't let her do that.
"Don't lie like that kid forever.
"Mugu!?"
I picked up the food I had left on the table and forcibly plunged the spoon with the stew into the slightly open mouth of the Ojou-sama.
"Mmm Hmm...? It's not bad..."
The Ojou-sama's expression, which had been surprised by the suddenness, changed to anger, but gradually changed to surprise while tasting what was in her mouth.
"Well, it seems to suit your mouth, so please take another sip when you're satisfied."
"Hey! Wait, mm
The Ojou-sama got out of bed to see if she was interested in the food, but I screwed the spoon into her little mouth again.
She was momentarily stunned by the act, but the well-bred Ojou-sama decided to try to chew the food in her mouth.
As I observed the Ojou-sama moving her mouth like a small animal, my mouth loosened involuntarily.
I know it's disrespectful, but somehow it's becoming fun to feed the Ojou-sama like this.
"There's still a lot left, so please eat well.
"Well, you don't have to do that to eat for yourself! Lend! You just have to eat it!?"
After making sure that the Ojou-sama had finished eating, I tried to feed her stew again, but unfortunately this time she forcibly snatched the spoon from the plate.
He must have been embarrassed to be treated like a baby, and his face was slightly red.
"Thank you for your understanding."
It is very unfortunate that we could no longer feed the Ojou-sama, but in the end we achieved our original purpose.
I sat down next to her and smiled as I watched her eat the stew rather wildly.
Haven't you been treating me badly lately?"
"It's because of my mind, Ojou-sama."
"I guess it's true..."
I wonder if she doesn't like my attitude, and the pouting Ojou-sama glares at me.
In response, I raised my hands and pleaded not guilty, but the Ojou-sama only had a staring look in her eyes, wondering if she was not trusted.
What a relief... It's a shame that I think so much about her, but you don't understand.
"Even so, I was surprised that there was someone in our team who could cook so well, because I honestly gave up on eating during this training."
After eating about half of the contents of the plate, the pleasant Ojou-sama is in a good mood and praises the food.
It's rare for a Ojou-sama to rave so much.
I could tell that I had been so dissatisfied with the previous meal, and I couldn't help but smile wryly.
It's true that you can't bring a chef with you for training, so it can't be helped, but it was worth the effort to be so pleased.
"I'm honored to receive your compliment."
Why do you say that?"
When I bow my head, the Ojou-sama has a question mark above her head.
Do we really not know?
Senior nobles like young ladies cannot cook in the first place, and other lower nobles cannot cook dishes that satisfy young ladies.
If so, it should be clear that it was someone who made this dish by someone who was neither.
"Because I made that dish."
「... Crow, did you cook for me?"
It's not particularly hidden, so if you clear the story, the Ojou-sama will open her eyes in surprise.
But is that so surprising?
"This is an essential skill for a butler in the Duke's family, but the recipe itself is given to him by the head chef, so it's not something to be proud of."
Nobles, even dukes' servants, need skills to meet all the demands of the Lord.
Especially in my case, I am the only exclusive servant of the Ojou-sama.
He has the skills to anticipate all kinds of situations, and cooking is just one of them.
It's not as good as my main job, but I can at least do this.
"Hmm....I mean, if you can, do it from the beginning! Thanks to you, I ended up eating a bad meal until now!"
"No, this is just training for young ladies, so isn't it okay for me, an outsider, to come out?"
She had been praising me a while ago, but the Ojou-sama raised her eyebrows and accused me.
It's really unreasonable.
In the first place, everyone was exhausted this time, and it seemed that they could not cook a proper meal, so they had no choice but to dabble in it.
I have been following her in the name of escorting the Ojou-sama, but it would not be a good idea for me to lend a hand as an outsider due to the convenience of training.
I think so, but it seems that it is different for the Ojou-sama.
"Okay? You are my property, so everything you did is naturally synonymous with what I did! Do you understand?"
The spoon in my hand was thrust at the tip of my nose, and I couldn't help but step back.
What a rant!
After treating people as objects, the Ojou-sama said that she would take all my achievements as her own.
If it's against a normal human, I'll be sharp and secretly kill you later.
But I don't feel angry now.
On the contrary, all that occupied my heart was a feeling of joy.
When I feel joy when a Ojou-sama tells me that it is my property, I think it is quite distorted.
"Yes sir, Ojou-sama."
"Okay, and you'll be cooking tomorrow."
"Yes!"
With that said, I continued to look at the Ojou-sama with a smile as she resumed eating.
"I'm satisfied, just put it down."
"Yes sir."
He took the empty plate and put it back on the table, but then he noticed a slight stain of food on the Ojou-sama's mouth.
"Excuse me, Ojou-sama."
「... Huh? No, no!"
"Ugh!?"
The moment I brushed her golden hair away and touched her fingers to wipe the dirt from her mouth, I was suddenly thrust away by the Ojou-sama with both hands.
The blow, which was enhanced by uncontrolled magic, easily blew my body away, slammed me into the wall, and collapsed to the floor like a crushed frog.
"Ugh....oh, Ojou-sama..., what the hell...?"
I managed to look up while enduring the pain in my body.
I'm a little confused because I don't understand why I was shoved.
Did I do something that disturbed the Ojou-sama?
"No, I'm sweating right now, so I can't! at leastmassage・・・・・Let them bathe in front of!"
Contrary to my expectations, there was no anger in his expression.
Rather, the Ojou-sama, who seemed somewhat impatient, was scratching her body and shouting with her face red.
「... Ahh
When I heard those words, I was finally convinced.
I didn't mean to do that, but the Ojou-sama mistakenly thought it was for a massage.
However, even I am not out of color to dabble in such a situation.
You can clear up the misunderstanding, but if you do that, it will be troublesome because you think that the Ojou-sama has been disgraced.
"Besides, the Ojou-sama said that you can do it after bathing.
The Ojou-sama seems to be in the mood for it, and it would be rude to her not to receive such a set.
"I see, sir. If so, I will prepare for bathing immediately.
── Massage after that."
「... Tsu! Uh, yes, do that."
At the last word she added, the Ojou-sama made her shoulders bounce.
She manages to feign calm as she twirls her hair with her fingers, but her eyes are shaking with anticipation for the massage that will follow.
I love her very much.
