Chapter 31: I Have a New Master ①

Translated by AmaLynne

It had been a week since Sam had stayed with the Earl of Walker.

During that time, Ur’s funeral was held.

The funeral was a modest one, with only Sam and Ur’s family present.

As a former court magician, Ur was well known by the royal family, and words of condolence were delivered.

Other wizards who had been close to Ur before her death were also saddened to learn of her death.

「It must have been hard on you, Sam-dono. Take some time off.」

Jonathan, the head of the Walker family, took care of Sam, and for the past week, he had been quiet in the room he was borrowing.

He had been training to sense the magical power he had inherited from Ur, and repeating tasks that would confirm how well he could use her knowledge, magic, and skills.

On the way, Grace, the Countess, and Lise, the second daughter, invited him to tea and showed him the room that Ur had used before her death.

He was given the key to Ur’s room and was allowed to come and go as he pleased, so when he had time, he would go to her room and remember her.

What was interesting to see were the grimoires and magical tools that Ur had collected.

Perhaps she was a collector, but there were quite a few of them crammed on the bookshelf.

She also had a large amount of whiskey and cigarettes in her room.

She was ill when she met Sam, so she had stopped drinking and smoking, but apparently, she was quite a heavy drinker and smoker.

He was grateful to have learned about a side of Ur that he had never known.

The week had flown by.

「……Haahh.」

Sam was sighing in his room.

The reason for this was that in the past week, he had learned that he could not use half of everything he had inherited from Ur.

At the age of fourteen, Sam was still too young and in the process of growing up to be able to use everything that Ur, a talented and mature wizard, had given him.

In the first place, Sam was not yet able to use his magic to its full potential.

It was impossible for him to use the skills of a great wizard who had been in the position of a court wizard of a country.

「The only thing I can use without problems is the Item Box.」

Fortunately, he can use some of the skills that he inherited from Ur.

However, there was no reason why he couldn’t use it, since it only move things in and out of subspace.

After a lot of testing, it turns out that the items stored in the Item Box will stay preserved.

For example, if you put a hot cup of tea in a water bottle and throw it in the Item Box, you can enjoy the hot tea at any time.

This also seemed to be suitable for preserving food.

On the other hand, it is not suitable for things that need time to mature, such as wine or whiskey.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with liquor if you want to store the finished product.

「Item Box is so useful. It’s indeed a classic fantasy skill.」

With an Item Box, adventuring around the different worlds would be a breeze.

In fact, when he was traveling with Ur, all he had to do was leave his luggage with her, and it was easy.

「Ur, thank you for letting me use your Item Box.」

He thanked his beloved master and vowed to become proficient not only in his skills but also in the magic he had inherited.

He was ashamed of his inexperience, but it was good to have a goal.

The ultimate goal is to become the strongest wizard, but before that, he must learn to use Ur’s magic to the fullest.

This would be his growth, Ur’s wish, and most importantly, the best way to become the strongest.

While thinking about this, there was a knock at the door.

「Yes?」

「It’s Lise. Can I come in?」

「Sure, come in.」

Sam rushed to the door and invited Lise into the room.

She was still wearing the same pants, but she looked more relaxed than usual.

「Lise-sama?」

「You know, after the funeral, I read the letter my sister left for me, in which she said she wanted me to train Sam.」

「Lise-sama trained me?」

If Sam’s memory was correct, Lise is not a wizard.

Then, what would she train?

「I heard that Sam has no talent in swordsmanship.」

「I’m afraid so.」

To be more precise, he is catastrophically incapable of using weapons and armor in general.

「But he seems to be able to use hand-to-hand combat to some extent.」

「Yes, because Ur drilled it into me in real-life situations.」

「My sister must have been really attached to you, Sam. She wrote a lot about you. And she was worried about you, too.」

「Ur worried about me?」

Liese nodded.

「You were very good with magic, but not so good with physical skills. If we fought without magic, I would be stronger than you.」

「―――Ehh.」

He couldn’t believe his ears.

As far as Sam knew, Ur was strong even without magic.

She did not learn any special style or form of martial arts, but her strength was cultivated through the actual fighting required for combat.

Her ability is such that Sam, who uses body enhancement magic, can be easily twisted.

He couldn’t for the life of him imagine how much stronger Lise was than Ur.

「My sister has only one wish. She’s entrusted you with her magic, and she wants me to teach you how to fight without it.」

「Umm, that means?」

Sam was confused, but Lise gave him a lively smile.

「From today on, I’m your master, too. Now let’s go to the garden.」
