章節 69: Ch. 69 Staying
( Yuto Pov)
Ector:" I am Ector, you'll be learning under me from now on. "
" I am Yuto, I'm a foreigner, I'll be I'm your care."
Kay:" We really going to let him live with us, father?"
Ector:" Yes. Until he officially becomes a knight, he is able to make his income, but for now, he'll be staying with us."
Kay:" Sigh, I guess so."
Ector:" Let's see, I heard you were talented in a sword. Why the spear?"
" To learn its fundamentals and its weakness in battle."
Ector:" Understanable, many others do the same as well, even if they don't have talent in that weapon. Alright, I'll teach you the basics for handling a spear as I myself have some experience in it."
" Yes, sir."
Artoria and I were with sir kay and sir Ector, They both lived in a cottage from the town. It looked over it as well as the coast.
During my time acting as a squire for Sir Ector, I mostly had to clean his weapons that were hanging on the wall, feed and clean his horse, clean his armor, help carry his luggage when he goes into town.
In my free time, I would spar with Artoria once she's also ginished with attending Kay.
* Swoosh * * Clink *
" Are you getting better? Or is that just me not getting used to the spear yet?"
Dodging the sword once again, I used the butt of the spear to dig into Artorias' stomach.
Artruis:" Cough!"
" Sorry about that, here, let me help you."
Offering a hand, Artoria took it.
" Come on, let's stop here for now."
Artruis" No. I'm fine. Let's continue."
" Really? I was going to make some dinner."
Artorias ahoge started to sway. With a stoic face, she replied.
Artruis:" Alright, let's stop here."
Although it's been a while since I cooked by myself because I always cooked with Yuriko.
And with my cooking skills at a high level it's no doubt that my cooking is the most delicious thing someone could ever eat.
* In the kitchen *
Putting firewood into the bottom of the stove, I started to make soup.
And as I started to chop up the vegetables and fruits. Artoria was watching me from the table.
with gracefully dexterity, I chopped up the ingredients and washed them before putting them into the pot.
I also made bread and put it into the stove.
As I finished putting them into the pot, all that was needed was to wait. And as we're waiting for the food, I made some tea and gave Artoria a cup.
We both sat there for a while as the pot was boiling in the background.
Artruis:" Why did you...."
* Sssssssllllllllluuuuuuurrrrrrrpppppp*
Artoria gave me an annoyed look. Innocently gesturing my hand to let her continue.
Artruis:" Like I was saying Yuto why..."
* Slurp *
With a quick but loud Slurp, I interrupted Artoria once more.
" Alright, alright, I'll stop." Making a gesture of surrender, Artoria continued.
Artruis:" Why did you want to become a knight?"
" Me? Well, it's too find a purpose in life. To go on an adventure, and why not become a knight along the way."
Artoria:" I see. I wish I could do the same as well."
Artoria looked down at her cup.
" Than, why not? We both could become mercenary traveling around the world, seeing out new adventures and new places. "
Artoria had a smile on her face.
Artruis:" That's sounds lovely, Yuto."
We both looked at each other and smiled.
I gently grasped her hands.
" It isn't too late, Artruis. "
Artruis:" Artoria, my real name is Artoria. Please call me when we're alone, Yuto."
" Of course, Artoria. "
Looking into her eyes, I wished I could try to change her fate or at least take some of the burdens she'll carry.
' I've decided, Iris, pause time on the other worlds, I think I'll be staying here for a couple of years.'
< What of your age growth? I'm sure it'll be a problem when you go back>
'I'll figure something out with time manipulation to reverse my aging, and I also got gacha as well'
< Understood, sir.>
Artoria:" Yuto, I think it's about time I tell about myself, and I want you to tell me about yourself as well."
Squeezing her hand, I smiled at her.
" Of course, Artoria."
Artoria responded by gently squeezing my hand as well.
We both talked about ourselves. How Artoria had given herself the burden to become a worthy king. She explained that she wanted to shoulder the kingdoms burdens herself.
I also told about myself as well, though I didn't explain the system or anything related, I just told her I was from another world that managed to 'accidently' cross over.
Artoria's wyes shined when I told her about this. And before we knew it, Artoria lost herself as I told her my stories, and I was lost in her sparkling eyes.
As I was about to tell her about my parents, I was notified by Iris about the pot.
< Sir, the pot.>
" Oh, shit! The pot!!"
Getting up, I grabbed a hand towel and picked uonthe pot onto a wooden cutting board. Before putting on to the table.
Artoria, who was surprised that I got up so quickly, got excited as I finished cooking. As I put the pot on the table, I took out the bread and put it on the table as well.
Artoria helped by setting up the table with bowls. And just as we finished setting it up. Ector and Kay arrived back home.
Ector:" Hmm? Oh, you made dinner, Yuto!? Your food is the best!"
Kay:" What the big deal I could cook as well!"
Ector:" You almost cooked us alive the last time you tried to cook." He replied as he sat on the table without taking off his armor.
Kay:" Cooking is cooking, so I do know how to cook even if I almost cooked you alive." He spoke as he was stuffing his face into the bowl.
Me and Artoria looked at eacher than chuckled at the Father and Son duo.
I started to eat as well, elegantly picking up the spoon I started to eat. I think learning a graceful aura changed my habits by a huge margin.
Ector:" By the way, Yuto, we're you by chance a nobleman?"
" Hmm? No, I wasn't, why do you ask?"
Extor:" Well, the way you carry yourself, it's like...."
Kay:" Like, you're a pretty boy!"
Ector:" Sigh. A nobleman, which all that grace."
" Oh, well no, I learned it in my times of travel. I picked it up from an old man I was traveling with before his passing. I also got my clothes from him as a gift."
[ Deception Successful ]
Ector:" Aah, I see, sorry if it looked like I doubted you, Yuto."
" It's alright. Many others made that conclusion as well."
And like that, we all ate as we all ignored Kay's words about being ignored.
