A peaceful everyday

A few days passed after the ogres became onis because they were named by Tamazuki and Rimuru.

During those times, all of them trained hard under the tutelage of Hakurou.

Whether it was the Onis, Hobgoblins, or also the Tempest Wolves, all of them were trained by Hakurou without mercy.

Rimuru also joined and felt speechless by Hakurou's swordsmanship. Frankly, he also wanted to swing a sword, killing one or two with a blade. Unfortunately, his body was nothing but slime. While he could wield a weapon by using a tentacle-like hand by extending part of his body, it wasn't as natural as holding it by hand.

Naturally, not everyone was practicing as Kurobee focused on the blacksmith to craft all the weapons and armor necessary for the battle with the dwarfs, and the Shuna was helping with the logistics, such as making clothes, medicines, and many other things.

In other words, everyone was busy.

"Hakurou, can I ask you something?"

After Hakurou smashed Gobuta's head with a wooden sword, he looked at Rimuru respectfully, then asked, "Is there something wrong, Rimuru-sama?"

"It hurts! It hurts, su! My skill is cracked, su!" Gobuta exaggeratedly rolled on the ground while holding his head.

"...."

Rimuru was speechless and then asked, "Your swordsmanship and Tamazuki's? Who is stronger?" When he asked this question, the rest also perked their ears as they were curious.

Still, Shion beat Hakurou first. "Of course, it's Tamazuki-sama!"

"....." Everyone.

We didn't ask you! They thought at that moment.

That should have been the case, but Shion wasn't with them at the time.

"Hahaha..." Hakurou laughed. "You must be joking, Rimuru-sama. I am nothing but a speck of dust in front of Tamazuki-sama."

"Oi, oi, Hakurou. Even if he has named you, you don't have to worship him that much, right? I can see that you are skilled with a sword."

Frankly, Rimuru felt whether Benimaru, Souei, or even Kurobee could use the skills which they received from him even better than himself, or rather, he felt weak!

Rimuru thought that was the case with Tamazuki, so Hakurou, who received an ability from Tamazuki, should be stronger, right? But was it?

"No, no, I am not joking. Tamazuki-sama's swordsmanship is already god-like. It is something that is impossible to achieve by a mortal. It might not be wrong to say he is a god of a sword. If there is something that hinders him, then it is his weapon that can't support him."

From the aura alone, Hakurou knew that Tamazuki's swordsmanship level wasn't something that could be achieved through hard work. However, wasn't that even better? His master was someone whose mastery over the sword was enough to call him the sword god.

Everyone was at a loss, but no one thought that Hakurou was lying.

"Then, maybe, I should ask him to teach me how to use a sword?"

Rimuru also didn't doubt Tamazuki's swordsmanship, as he knew Tamazuki's unique skill.

Learning.

It might be a simple skill, but when it was used to learn an art, then... the result...

[Affirmative. Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki is stronger than you]

"....."

Rimuru thought that the [Great Sage] was so rude, but when he was about to talk with Tamazuki, Souei informed him that a group of Lizardmen was about to come to his village.

"Souei, can you call Tamazuki too?"

Rimuru thought that it was better to bring Tamazuki with him so they wouldn't be looked down upon. Nevertheless, he knew the battle with the orcs was near, and this was the prelude.

"Yes."

Souei disappeared as he went to visit the main kitchen.

---

Tamazuki's house is finished.

This was a good thing, and he also didn't hesitate to move with Shizu.

As one of the leaders of this village, his house was massive. It was built with a traditional Japanese theme as he wanted to make Shizu feel even more comfortable. Though, he was also more comfortable this way.

Naturally, unlike the others, his house was more special as it had various devices which he created with his leaves, but some of them were items that he crafted with engraved magic, such as an oven, a stove, an air conditioner, a shower, a water warmer, and many others.

Those items might seem like something that existed in the modern world, but in this world, all of them were activated with magic.

This was the world of magic.

Tamazuki knew that science was a good thing, but he also shouldn't ignore the magic aspect of this world. Instead, he should combine the two of them. Yet, at the same time, he thought about also trying to reach the extreme path of the two of them.

Unlike science, magic was full of possibilities.

As long as he imagined, anything could happen.

If possible, he wanted to go to a world where it was fully focused on magic since he wanted to develop this talent more.

Still, while his magic aspect had been almost perfectly taken care of, he wondered what he should do with his physical ability.

The strength manipulation was a good ability, yet, his physical ability was far from enough.

Nevertheless, he could think of that kind of matter later since, at this moment, he needed to lead the food research on the main kitchen in the village.

"Now, the ice cream is finished." Tamazuki looked at everyone in the kitchen and asked, "How about we try it?"

"Yes!"

All of them answered with brimming excitement.

At his house, Shizu, Shuna, Shion, a few goblinas, and Gob'ichi, the most talented cook among the hobgoblins, were watching his food research.

Food.

This thing might be ignored since as long as one was full, everything was okay, but Tamazuki didn't want that. He wanted to eat the most delicious cuisine in the world.

His motto was only the best!

Moreover, food was also a source of money, so he decided to bring the foods of another world to this world.

Still, everyone was already impatient to taste the ice creams, so he gave all of them a tester.

"Now, try it."

"Yes!"

Their hands were shaky as they put a spoonful of ice cream into their mouths.

"!!!"

"So delicious!"

"Yummy!"

"So creamy!"

"It's cold!"

Everyone was excited, especially when the sweet taste of the honey spread into their tongue.

As this village had just been built, everything was limited, but Tamazuki had found a beetle and a bee after he named Shion, Shuna, and Hakurou. He had found out that nothing would happen to him even if he named them as he had the "Hole," so he named the beetle and the bee since he felt that they were unique existences.

The beetle aside, the bee quickly made honey for him.

While he had sugar, it was limited, so the honey was good.

Still, from their expressions, he could tell that this honey salt ice cream tasted delicious.

"Shion, don't eat too much."

"Ah, I am sorry, Tamazuki-sama!" Shion quickly apologized as she lowered her head, but she was so depressed that her horn was down. Still, her eyes were staring at the ice cream from time to time since she didn't have enough.

Tamazuki was speechless. "You can have more, then."

"Tamazuki-sama!" Shion was moved to tears.

"Shion, how can you be so rude to Tamazuki-sama!" Shuna was rather reserved, but when she saw Tamazuki dote on Shion, she became jealous. "But... can I have more too, Tamazuki-sama?"

"Sure."

The rest also wanted to eat again, but they couldn't do so like Shion or Shuna since they were still reserved in front of him.

Still, Shizu smiled happily.

Without a doubt, this was a good day.

"Well, calm down. There are still many foods that I want to try, so prepare your stomach, okay?"

"YES!"

This time, they answered him with greater vigor, but this time, Souei came and reported about the visit of the lizardman.

"I see." Tamazuki nodded. "Is it dangerous?"

"No, I can handle them myself, but Rimuru-sama wished you to be present."

"I am in the middle of cooking, though." Tamazuki thought for a moment, then said, "Shion, you should go and handle this."

"Eh?!" Shion seemed reluctant to go out.

"I will add your ice cream later."

"Souei, come on! Where are they? Let me beat them up!"

"..." Souei.

"By the way, Souei, please bring this to everyone. Can you?" Tamazuki prepared ice cream for everyone.

"Yes!"

This time, Souei's voice didn't even lose to the rest as he also wanted to taste the food cooked by Tamazuki. He might be a ninja, but it didn't mean that he didn't want to eat delicious food, okay?

"Okay, let's continue our research. This time, I want to create mayonnaise."

"Mayonnaise?

As expected, the group of lizardmen quickly cleared up, and Shion quickly returned with everyone as they tasted a karaage with mayonnaise. All of them had this blissful expression on their faces when they tasted this dish for the first time, but at night, a meeting was held since the danger that came from the group of orcs was unable to be avoided any longer.
