The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 148，Part1: The Three of Us Going Out on a Date? ③

Translated by AmaLynne

“I couldn’t find the grimoire…”

Sam, who had finished eating his icy snack, regretfully spilled the beans.

He went to several bookstores and came across a few grimoires, but the contents were boring.

According to the owner of the bookstore, it is not possible for a serious person who writes grimoires to write interesting content.

In fact, most grimoires are full of boastful stories and content about magic.

Aside from the former, he doesn’t want the latter.

“I wonder if there are many wizards out there who buy and read grimoires? I thought there would be more.”

Lise’s question was answered by Hanae, who had finished her second bowl of ice cream.

“I had plenty of grimoires at home, so I didn’t need to buy any.”

“I see what you mean. But we have a lot of grimoires. I guess because my father is a magician and my grandfather was a wizard too.” 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑛𝘦𝘵

“Oh, really? So Lise-sama’s grandfather was also a wizard.”

“Yes, he was a very good one. He was very kind and smiling to me, but very strict with my father.”

He had never heard of the previous head of the Earl Walker family.

But he does know that the family has been producing wizards for generations.

Ur and Jonathan are excellent wizards, and Erica is a promising wizard as well.

The nobility often has parents teach their children or hire wizards to help them learn basic magic.

“I guess that’s true.”

“It is the commoners who study on their own.”

“I see.”

“You can also learn at school. Children who can use magic are sometimes exempted from paying tuition fees, so many children learn magic that way.”

Hanae’s words reminded me of something called a magic school.

As he recalls, Erika also attended a school with a magic department.

Sam had never attended school.

He was trained practically by an excellent master named Ur, so there was no need for him to go to school.

It may sound bad to say, but the experience gained through actual combat was more important to Sam than classroom study.

However, this was not the case with Kotomi.

“School…to begin with, Kotomi can’t even leave the house. I’ve got a whole set of rudimentary magic memorized, too, but I don’t know how to teach it to her.”

“Should I ask Grandma?”

“You sure?”

It was Hanae who offered a helping hand to Sam, who was distressed.

“What?”

“Hmm. Grandma has many grimoires. There are many that I have never even read. Maybe there is a grimoire that is just right for Kotomi.”

When Sam asked, “Hmm,” Hanae gave a thumbs-up.

“For a promising wizard, it’s more than welcome.”

“Thank you.”

“Yes, leave it to me.”

“Thanks to Hanae, we may have a solution to our grimoire problem. Thank you, Hanae.”

“Don’t worry about it, I want to do many things for her too.”

Sam and Lise were grateful.

He was glad to see that she was also concerned about Kotomi.

Feeling more at ease, the three of them left the restaurant to continue shopping.

“I saw a store earlier that had some nice swords on display. I want to go there next time.”

“Um, can’t we at least get shoes or clothes there?”

“My it’s a nice sword. Sam will like it when he sees it.”

“No, I mean…”

It is like Lise, a swordsman, to be interested in swords instead of clothes, but he thinks it is something different.

(Well, if it’s okay with Lise-sama, that’s fine.)

In the end, it seems that Hanae was also interested in weapons, and the three of them headed for a nearby store.

At the arms shop, Lise spent a long time staring at a long sword.

Apparently, she wanted a sword, but the price made it difficult.

However, it is a very good sword, and she doesn’t know when she will be able to find it again.

Sam, unable to see Lise’s conflicting feelings, decides to buy it for her as a memento of their date.

“Thank you, Sam!”

Lise hugs him and kisses him on the cheek.

Sam was a bit skeptical that her first gift would be a long sword, but he decided that if his cute fiancée was happy with it, it was all right.

In a way, it was like Lise.

(It was nice to see Lise-sama’s happy face.)

By the way, the price was quite expensive.

“Sam, me, too.”

If Liese was able to buy one, she can get one too, and Hanae starts asking for one.

She pointed her finger greedily at a knuckle guard displayed in the new items section.

It is also quite expensive and is the same price as the long sword she gave Lise.

It seems to have been made by a famous craftsman and is a one-of-a-kind item.

“Thank you for going on a date with me.”

“Hmm. I’ll give it to you. ――I owe you a favor about the grimoire, and I understand.”

In the end, he decided to send a gift to Hanae as well.

“Yay~”

She didn’t change her expression, but he don’t think he imagined that her lips seemed to be looser than usual.

After paying the shopkeeper, who seemed happy to have sold two expensive weapons, they put them away in the item box so as not to disturb their date.

After leaving the store, the three of us continued to enjoy the stalls and window shopping.

On the way, Sam saw a handkerchief for sale in a clothing store.

The handkerchief, made of white cloth and decorated with blue roses, reminded him somewhat of Stella, so he bought it.

He decides to send it with tomorrow’s letter.

Sam and his friends go out before noon, but it is already dusk.

“Shall we go back to the house now?”

“Yes, I think so. ――It was fun, Sam. Shall we come back?”

“Of course.”

Sam was very happy to see Lise smile so much.

“I’d go on a date like this again and again,” she said.

“Thanks for the present.”

“It’s fine. I’m indebted to Hanae-sama.”

“Hmm.”

Regardless of what Hanae thinks of herself, he’s grateful that she is willing to meet every day.

Thanks to the two of them, Sam’s skills have improved again.

It was a small way to repay them.

“Let’s go home, then.”

Lise held Sam’s hand.

That’s when it happened.

“Oh, it’s Lise, isn’t it?”

A man’s voice, unfamiliar to me, echoed through the bustle of the castle town.
