A super traveler in a peaceful world

As a matter of course, An Luo judged how he should perform based on the changes in Luo Qixi's expression, allowing Luo Qixi to confirm that he was a genius who was not inferior to him, or even better than him, and was worth cultivating. .

Because in fact, in this world, it is really not easy to fully use primary magic at the beginning. Generally speaking, you can't get anything out the first time, or creating a puddle of water is the limit.

noon.

In this not too hot early summer, after the basic test, the two finalized the employment relationship. The monthly salary was still the advertised five silver coins with food and accommodation included.

And it was during the detailed discussion that An Luo learned through testing that Luo Qixi was actually satisfied with the salary.

Because although she is a Water Saint level magician, she has no actual achievements and because this job is risk-free, the relative salary is much lower.

By the way, if they are famous, a small group of top-notch warriors ranked among the best in the world, king-level experts who work as teachers and guards, they can earn a monthly salary of two gold coins.

The actual salary is only about 200,000 yen, and it has to be a premium version of special treatment. In Japan, it is roughly equivalent to the salary level of an ordinary company employee who has just graduated from university.

Relatively speaking, the income of the nobles, these two gold coins are just a drizzle in the drizzle, and the high-level adventurers are just a single commission.

..... Sure enough, in this world of combat power, even if you stand at the top of the pyramid, your salary is horribly low? On the contrary, the salary of being a noble and an adventurer will be much higher. In addition to joining the upper class, in this world, the more stable it is, the harder it is to make money? But no matter what, this is too low, right?

With this question in mind, An Luo rented a wooden house in the suburbs with an unsecured, no-term, and no-interest loan he obtained from a wealthy passerby... What should he do next?

In the evening, An Luo glanced at Luo Qixi who was reading during the break. Luo Qixi also raised her head from the book and looked up at him wordlessly.

Twilight filled the window outside the window, and the two people faced each other in the faint candlelight. They were silent in each other's ways, and everything was left unsaid... It was strange.

The meal was ordered, but An Luo still didn't start cooking. There were no restaurants in the nearby wheat fields, which made Luo Qixi couldn't help but worry about what his dinner would be like, so he tried: "Mr. An Luo, it's time to eat now." Is it time?"

"Well, it's time to eat."

"Aren't you going to cook? Or are you used to having dinner later?"

"...We just met and there is no deep hatred. How could I put you to death?"

"Um...I'm just talking about dinner?" Cold sweat fell on Luo Qixi's forehead.

"I know."

"Well, it's almost time to eat now, and...this job includes meals, right?"

"...Hmm..." An Luo thought for a moment and pointed to the vegetables he bought from the farmer: "Please."

"I said... are you looking down on me?"

"how come."

"Do you think I am a special creature that can eat wheat flour raw?"

"Try hard?"

In Luo Qixi's eyes, An Luo, whose tone was quite cold, must be speaking very seriously, and was not deliberately teasing herself.

But pointing at the wheat flour and asking her to eat it made her feel that this guy was either a stranger to the world, or that he was treating her as a fool, or was just playing a trick on her?

No, it should be otherworldly, right? Although I think so...

"——No matter how hard you try, it's impossible!! Are you kidding me?!"

.......

Chapter 2: Once a teacher, always a mother·The benefits of being a bad guy

She couldn't figure out what was going on with An Luo, but Luo Qixi, who had an unstoppable urge to complain, broke out on the spot with the depression pouring out of her heart. She stood up suddenly and almost yelled at him. I threw the precious books I couldn't buy for a year on the floor.

But even though she was already violent, An Luo calmly stretched out his hand to apply pressure, shook his head and said:

"Calm down. There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved through communication. Let's do this... From now on, if you cook, I will give you a silver coin increase."

"The cheapest nanny costs two silver coins a month, right? What do you mean by giving her one silver coin?"

Even though she was in an employment relationship, the price made Luo Qixi finally couldn't help but slap the book on the table and glared at him angrily.

"But you're not a nanny, and you don't take care of my daily life. You just get a few silver coins for cooking in your free time. Should it be considered a valuable reward?"

"But I am a teacher, and I have the dignity of being a teacher, not someone who cooks for you!"

"Once a teacher, always a mother, have you ever heard this sentence?"

"what do you mean?"

The sudden change of topic and the meaning of the topic made Luo Qixi stunned for a moment.

"It means that for students, teachers are as noble as parents, and the relationship between students and teachers is as good as parents and children."

In order to get a convenient and useful teacher, An Luo, while tampering with famous quotes, planned to induce the teacher and find ways to get her to do more things for him.

And when Luo Qixi was said to be so great, although she didn't say anything, her face turned slightly red, the corners of her mouth were raised in disdain, and she twitched her little nose slightly with pride, as if she was praised. He seemed very happy.

So... After understanding that Luo Qixi should be considered very easy to deal with and snickering in his heart, An Luo immediately asked: "This is a famous aphorism from my hometown. Teacher, what do you think?"

"Hmm~ Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's not unreasonable. Your hometown should be a good place that attaches great importance to culture. I would like to visit it if I have the chance."

Although Luo Qixi raised her head slightly uncontrollably, she spoke in a cold tone, trying hard to act like she was unfazed by flattery and a role model for others.

"By the way, we are master and apprentice now, right? Teacher."

"Of course~ Don't look at me like this. In fact, at my age, I have no problem being your mother, right?"

"That's it." An Luo nodded quietly, and then asked: "...Teacher, do you think the idle elders should let the busy juniors work?"

"Of course it's not good, that's really bad."

"In that case, teacher, can you help me cook?"

"ha.....?"

Luo Qixi's eyes widened at the sudden retort. The originally good lecturer was deeply affectionate, but this strange twist and turn meant...it seemed that he just wanted her to work?

In fact, An Luo, who was also doing nothing, completely ignored his own problem and said again: "Is there anything wrong with a mother helping her children cook?"

"But I'm not your biological mother!"

"But once you are a teacher, you are always a mother. Teacher, you agree, right?"

"No, I, I agree, but you are telling two different things! I just..."

"A real teacher should not just teach about learning, but should reshape a person's life and play a role in enlightening and guiding life. Teacher, do you think what I said is wrong?"

An Luo narrated slowly and calmly, and what he said made Luo Qixi feel that there was nothing wrong with the logic, so he nodded instinctively: "That's true, but... "

"But wait a minute, how about we talk about the impact of three meals on a person?"

"The impact of three meals on a person?"

"The quality of three meals affects a person's mood, and a person's mood also affects the quality of teaching received. Water is the source of life, and the concept of three meals naturally includes water. Because of this... ....”

...Although he is playing the role of a cold person, even if he deceives the girl with a cold tone, it is not a problem for An Luo at all, because he is so skilled at this that he is surprised.

An Luo, who has rich experience in sophistry and fraud, related three meals to teaching, and then related teaching to teachers' responsibilities. He also described teachers as great and compared them to selfless mothers.

This series of direct battles was easy to deal with. Luo Qixi, who seemed to have been an adventurer and was still an A-level but still didn't have much scheming, let him persuade him in this confused way, while thanking him. Out of respect and humanitarianism, he received an additional monthly salary of one silver coin, while working diligently to handle the food.

only.......

"...I always feel like something is not quite right...?"

While Luo Qixi was chopping vegetables with a new kitchen knife that An Luo just bought in the afternoon, she tilted her head slightly, thinking about where this strange feeling of dissonance came from.

She kept chopping vegetables and thinking carefully about the problem, but she could not think of any doubts. After a while, she noticed that An Luo was staring at the wild flowers picked from nowhere with a serious expression on her face. Only when he saw a hole in it did he realize the source of something wrong, as if he had woken up from a dream.

She thought about it carefully and found that what she was doing now was quite wrong, so she was so angry that she raised the kitchen knife and pointed it at him: "——Mr. An Luo! You lied to me!"

"What?" An Luo, who was sitting on a chair boredly waiting for dinner, asked immediately without raising his head: "What's the matter? You can speak slowly. Don't use such hurtful words to others as soon as you open your mouth." , you know? It’s not good for you to do this.”

"I'm not good? It's you who are bad! By the way, don't use a preaching tone to the teacher! I am the teacher!"

"Preaching? No, I just corrected your mistakes. If you are stubborn and want to think that I am wrong, then please tell me what is wrong with me?"

"I am a teacher, not a maid, and I have no obligation to cook for you!"

"But I paid. Once I paid, it's not an obligation, it's a transaction. We have an employment relationship."

An Luo spread his hands openly.

This look of clear conscience directly made Luo Qixi angry. She couldn't help but put aside her reserve as a teacher and shouted: "If you hadn't lied to me! How could I have agreed?! This is fraud! This is fraud!"

"Teacher, please don't yell. It's so rude of you."

An Luo, who maintained his cold personality, calmly raised his head and looked at the girl who was pointing at him with a kitchen knife. He gently shook his head and sighed helplessly like an unreasonable child: "I just said it, If I lied to you and you pointed it out, I would never deny it, and I would also like to sincerely apologize to you. After all, I also said it, right? What I hate most is lies."

"This is what you said! Don't forget it! You... that... you, I... uh huh uh..."

Luo Qixi felt that she should have a lot to say, but she could not find any trace of being deceived. She just pondered for a long time but could not think of the place where she was deceived.

She thought in her heart that she had been deceived, so she had every reason to get angry and scold her, but what An Luo said before seemed to make sense.

From a theoretical and logical perspective, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. What he said obviously makes sense. Didn't he deceive himself?

Deception...it seems like it really didn't happen?

No, no, it’s really weird...

The girl's heart fell into chaos. She tried to find out where she was deceived, but she couldn't find out where she was deceived.

"Forget it, how about that?" An Luo put down the wild flowers in his hand, temporarily put aside his research on flowers from other worlds, looked at Luo Qixi and said in a tone as if he was at a disadvantage: "Don't get entangled in strange things. Take a step back, I'll take some losses and give you another silver coin, how about you help me with the housework by the way?"

"....Hey! Do you really think of me as a servant?"

"How could it be? Although we just met today, in my eyes you are already my respectable teacher. The traditional education in my hometown also taught me this... Once a teacher, always a mother. The meaning of this sentence also includes and expresses the relationship between teacher and disciple, which should not be limited to the length of their acquaintance.”

"...Where is your hometown?" Luo Qixi, who didn't know whether to be angry or not, sighed and said depressedly: "Compared to this strange tradition in your hometown, this is the first time I have heard of someone Let Master do the housework."

"In my eyes, teachers are just like family members. Is there anything wrong with helping with housework as a family member?"

"But that's you! I am me. You can accept your tradition, but I still can't! Don't treat me like your mother! I won't treat you like..."

"——That's enough, teacher. It seems that you are not the teacher I am looking for. You are a teacher who loves students and is willing to share hardships with students. After all, you are just a person who cares about personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace, and you are not even among adventurers. People with a sense of collective honor.”

An Luo stood up and opened the door of the cabin, pointing to the darkness outside, which was completely dark, and even the road could not be seen clearly: "I am very disappointed in you... Miss Luo Qixi, you are fired. , I will give you a big copper coin as a parting gift and as compensation for wasting your time. This should be enough kindness and justice, right? Then... please go."

"Wait, wait! It's dark now? You want me, a magician, to walk at night in this dark environment?"

"You can use magic to light the way."

"Even if there shouldn't be any dangerous monsters around here, if I walk around with a light in the middle of the night, it won't 100% attract monsters... What if there are no monsters but wild beasts attack??"

"That's your business."

"Didn't you just say that once a teacher is always a mother? Are you going to murder your own mother now?"

Luo Qixi was shocked by this sudden turn of events. She definitely didn't want to wander around in the wild at this time, and her face was full of unacceptable anger.

She didn't have the means to cast magic instantly. She understood that in the unlikely event that she, a magician, encountered a wild leopard in complete darkness and surrounded by wheat fields that could hide monsters, she might not be able to react and be killed in an instant. It will kill the wild leopard instantly.

As a magician, she does not have the legendary intuition to predict danger in advance, so the danger for her walking at night is extremely high.

Even if she doesn't necessarily encounter monsters if she goes out, it's not surprising to encounter some wild beasts, and the probability of being killed is also quite high, so she really doesn't want to go out unless necessary.

However... An Luo shook his head as if turning a blind eye to this, and said coldly: "Miss Luo Qixi, there is a big problem with your statement. Just now you personally denied the concept of my hometown, so you are not me family."

"How, how come..."

Thinking of what she had just said, Luo Qixi was struck as if struck by lightning. She clenched her fists and endured, wanting to fight and refuse, but...

"What I just said...just pretend I didn't say it." Luo Qixi put down the kitchen knife in her hand and lowered her head dejectedly.

"meaning is?"

"I'm really sorry...please let me be a teacher and cook."

"And don't forget to do housework."

"Yes, I understand......"

"Very good, then leave everything to you, teacher."
