Al-sama continued to laugh for a while until he started coughing and choking.

""Was funny~?""

"… Cough. Sorry. I was too surprised by the words I had not expected."

""Uniyu?""

"I was expecting that you would reply to Tak.u.mi's 'You did well bringing it over' with 'It's done~' or 'We brought it' like usual, so I did not think you would say 'Somehow' there."

""I see~""

Allen and Elena found the laughter strange, but it seems that they understood(?) with Al-sama's explanation.

""Onii~chan.""

"N? What's up?"

"We want to."

"Eat that~"

"That? This thing!?"

""That~""

After Allen and Elena understood, they changed their mind to "Don't care about the laughter anymore" and started saying that they want to eat the Water Horse meat they got for me.

""As is~""

"A, as is!?"

""Yup!""

By as is, do they want me to whole roast the meat of this size?

I have no confidence that it will get cooked properly in the middle, you know!?

"Th, that would be a bit impossible, I think~"

""Ehhh~~~""

"Even if I only use salt and pepper, it would take a long time for the fire to cook the insides, and it's likely that the outside will get burnt in the meanwhile. It might be possible to cook the inside nicely with fire magic, but I have basically not used fire magic before~"

""Do it~""

I have been granted 'Fire Magic' by the Fire G.o.d Salamanteel-sama, but I have used it only a couple of times. I wouldn't have a problem using it to thoroughly burn monsters to defeat them, but that's totally different from a minute adjustment of the heat level. Vector is surely much more capable in that aspect than me. Well, Vector is still undergoing special training, though!

But, it does not seem that Allen and Elena will give up. Now then, this is troubling.

N~… what do I do~ —Ah!

"Najack-sama!"

"Yes, what is it?"

Najack-sama is a person of the Ignis Household. The Ignis Household is famous for producing knights specializing in fire magic one after another!

"You specialize in fire magic, right?"

"Yes, but I am still considered a greenhorn."

"What are you saying——Tak.u.mi, Najack is quite the master of fire magic."

Najack-sama was humble, but Al-sama promptly objected.

If Al-sama says so, then he must be considerably skilled. Then, let's have him roast this meat!

"Won't you cook this meat inside out as it is, please?"

""Roast~""

"… Eh?"

Allen and Elena looked up at Najack-sama and pleaded.

"These children want to eat this meat as it is no matter what, it seems. As I said before, it won't cook properly on the open fire, and I am not that skilled with fire magic myself, so I would like to ask you to do it, Najack-sama."

"No, however… I have never used fire magic for cooking myself before, so…"

I thought so. Few people would use fire magic to cook their meat. Most likely, the son of a n.o.ble would never even cook himself.

"We won't say a word of complaint if you fail!"

""Won't say~!""

Allen and Elena are saying that they won't complain if he fails. They probably won't sulk even if the meat gets wasted.

"Ahh, cooking it in hand might be difficult, no? I will prepare it right away."

I placed a tray-like thingy made from iron on the ground, placed the meat on top of it, and carried it before Najack-sama who had a hard time rejecting.

"Preparations."

"Complete~"

Allen and Elena stared at Najack-sama as if saying "Go ahead!".

"Eeeh!?"

"Kukuku."

Al-sama started laughing at the baffled Najack-sama.

"Your Highness, please stop laughing and help me out here!"

"Y, you just have to do it, no? Fufu, they are saying that even a failure is acceptable anyway."

"Your Highness!?"

"The magic used should be the elementary level 'Heat', all that's left is to adjust the temperature with magical power, yes? Certainly, a degree of skill would be necessary to cook it whole equally."
