Chapter 143: Permission Given to Become a Disciple

Translated by AmaLynne

When Sam and his group returned to the dojo, they were greeted by Hanae, who was lying on the floor in a heap but looking very satisfied, and Lise, who had changed into a hakama and was wiping her sweat off with a towel.

(Wow, Lise-sama in Hakama is pretty cute!)

Sam’s heart flutters at the sight of his fiancée dressed so freshly.

The problems he had been having with the successor to the Amemiya family and Lise’s ex-husband have all flown away.

Noticing her fiancé, who was stretching his nose, Lise smiled and called out to him.

“Oh, welcome back. How was Kotomi-sama?”

“Yes, she was a very nice girl. And she seemed to be in better health than I had heard.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Lise looks relieved.

He remember that Kotomi called her “Lise-onee-chan”, they must have been good friends.

That is why he can understand Lise’s concern.

Sam loved her fiancé, who was both considerate and kind.

“How is Kotomi-sama from Sam’s point of view?”

“I think she has a great talent for wizards. If it was only magic, she would be better than me and Ur.”

“What? Better than Sam and onee-sama?”

“Yes, she’s better than us in terms of magic power alone.”

Sam nodded to Lise, whose expression changed to a surprised one.

Then, perhaps unable to remain silent, Kurando joined the conversation.

“Samuel-kun…is that true?”

“No doubt about it. I have never seen a child with such great magical power before.”

“Truly, more than you or Ulrike-dono.”

“He has a greater amount of magic than we do.”

Kurando let out a big breath.

“I knew that Kotomi’s magic power was great, but I did not expect it to be greater than Ulrike-dono.”

“Kurando-sama, about that.”

“Yes?”

“May I take Kotomi-chan as my discipline?”

“What do you mean?”

Sam’s sudden request to take his daughter as an apprentice causes Kurando to look puzzled.

Mizuki told his father to supplement his story.

“Kotomi asked Sam to take her as a discipline.”

“Kotomi is?”

Mizuki told Kurando that Kotomi had appealed to Sam to become her apprentice and that she had a goal of becoming a court magician.

Kurando probably did not know either.

His face showed surprise.

“…I never thought that Kotomi would want to become a wizard.”

“I was surprised, too. But I think it’s good. Kotomi has magical powers, and I’m proud of her for having a future goal that makes use of it.”

“Yes, I am.? But, Samuel-kun, are you willing to take Kotomi as your disciple?”

In response to Kensei’s question, Sam returned a smile.

“The amount of magic power and the hidden qualities that she possesses, Kotomi is a talented wizard. I would be more than happy to help.”

“Wait, Sam. Kotomi-sama is still in bad shape.”

“Oh, yes, of course I will take her as my discipline only after Kotomi-chan gets well.”

Lise reminded him that he hadn’t said enough, and continued in a hurry.

“The way I see it, it’s still going to take some time for her to get well from a health standpoint. That’s how big the magical power is. But if she wants to learn, she can do it now. I’ll bring a grimoire next time, so please let her read it.”

Regardless of whether or not she was going to be discipline, she wanted to help the girl who had that carefree smile and said she wanted to become a wizard.

If Ur was here, he would do the same for her as he did for himself.

(Oh, Ur would start training her, saying that even if she wasn’t well, she would get well eventually if she trained hard enough…)

The training Sam recalled as an apprentice was truly radical.

Because of such training, Sam has decided to be gentle when he is in a position to teach someone.

“I think she can learn swordsmanship on days when she can move her body. And if she really is talented with swords, I hope she can become a child who can use both swords and magic.”

As Sam spoke his mind, Sword Saint bowed deeply.

“I thank you for thinking of my daughter. And please take good care of my daughter.”

With her father’s permission, Kotomi was to become Sam’s discipline.

Although she may not be able to do much as a master due to her health problems, she will still try to help him as much as possible.

“I will try to help her as much as I can. Sam.”

“Of course.”

“I’ll let her know later. She’ll be overjoyed for sure.”

Mizuki also seemed pleased that her father had allowed her sister to become his discipline.

“I look forward to working with you in the future.”

Sam concluded, bringing today’s visit to the Amemiya family to an end.

As Sam headed home with Lise and Hanae, who had changed into their new clothes, he had some concerns about the issue of the successor to the Sword Saint, but he decided not to get involved because Mizuki had asked him not to say anything about it.

He’s honestly happy to have discipline, but the visit left us with a somewhat bitter taste in his mouth.
