“So, you’re starting work on the kitchen today?” Lorea-chan asked.

“Yeah. Assuming the iron plates I need are ready, that is,” I replied.

“I’m so looking forward to it!” she went on dreamily. “A magic oven... I wonder what I should make first...”

Iris-san and Kate-san stared at Lorea-chan in wonder. They were taking the day off—or rather, I had made them take the day off—so the pair was around the house today.

They had been delving into the great forest day after day, trying to make good on their debt as soon as possible, but if they ruined their health, or got themselves injured in the process, it would defeat the entire purpose. Knowing this, I had invoked my power as their creditor, and given them firm instructions to take days off when needed.

On the other hand, if they were the type to default on what they owed, I would be pushing them to pay me back quickly. But, luckily, I had no fear of that with them.

“You know how to cook dishes that require an oven?” Iris-san asked. “Hold on, have you ever used an oven before?”

“She has a point.” Kate-san nodded to show that she was equally dubious. “I wouldn’t be able to make much in an oven besides bread.”

“Urgh... To be honest, it’s just something I’ve always wanted to do, so not really... Sorry.” Lorea-chan stuck her tongue out a little. Having told me she’d cook, it was probably a bit awkward for her to admit this.

“Well, I’m no good with one either, so that’s fine,” I reassured her. “Oh, come to think of it, when I mentioned I’d be making an oven, Master sent me something. Here it is...”

I walked over to the shelf and picked up a book that she’d sent me the other day using the transporter.

That was Master for you, just casually sending expensive things like books. It hadn’t come with a letter or anything, but I could only assume she was telling me to put it to good use.

It was titled Dishes to Make in an Oven, after all.

“Would you like to give it a read, Lorea-chan?”

“Huh?! Can I?”

“Sure, if you’ll make good use of the knowledge.”

“Of course! I’ll make something delicious for you!”

“I’ll be looking forward to it.” Lorea-chan’s eyes sparkled as she accepted the book, hugging it tightly.

I want to focus on alchemy for now, so I’ll be grateful if Lorea-chan can use it to make us something nice.

“But why don’t we go out for lunch today?” she suggested.

“Sounds like a plan,” I answered.

“Yeah,” Iris-san and Kate-san agreed.

Perhaps because she had an income now, making her somewhat financially self-sufficient, lately Lorea-chan tended to eat with me instead of going home. Sometimes those meals were just whatever homemade lunch she had brought with her, but she hadn’t made anything today, so it made sense that we’d all go to Delal-san’s place together. But before that...

“Do you mind if we swing by Jizdo-san’s place? The iron plates might be ready.”

We took a short detour to visit the blacksmith, but when we got there.
