The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero's Mother!

So, we came to a nearby lake.

I had already prepared the fishing rods.

The hooks and lines were already set up.

All we had to do was put the bait on and cast the line.

"Ark, this!"

I handed the rod to Ark.

"What do I do?"

"Just put this worm on the hook, cast it into the water, and wait for the fish to bite."

"Yeah, got it..."

From here on, it's going to be tough.

We have to wait patiently for the fish to bite...

"Serena...the fish aren't biting at all."

"That's right, Lida-oneechan said that fishing is a spiritual discipline...even if you don't catch anything, you have to be patient and wait...and then...look! You caught one!"

A 30cm fish was caught.

The type of fish was, um, similar to a trout.

"Serena, it looks like I caught one too!"

"Slowly and gently reel it in without pulling too hard...good, good..."

"Like this?"

"Keep the tension like that, and then lift it up...look, you caught it!"

"Ah, I caught one!"

Ark seemed to be enjoying himself too.

In the end, we continued fishing and I caught 5 fish, while Ark caught 4.

* * *

"How about we grill the fish now?"

"Serena, wait! I can do that too!"

"What~ You can do it~."

Ark looked like a muscular idiot, and clumsy.

"Serena, you're underestimating me...I've been doing things on my own! I can grill the fish too!"

"Huh, really? Then go ahead and try!"

Ark threw the fish onto the bonfire we had made earlier.

"Ahh... just like Maria! That's no good!"

"What's wrong with grilling the fish? Can't we just eat it?"

"So, I'll cook, so watch. First, scrape off the scales with the back of the knife. Then, cut open the belly and take out the guts, and sprinkle salt generously. With this method, it'll take about 20 minutes."

"Why do you need to take so much time?"

"If we do it this way, the salt will penetrate and it'll be delicious."

"Is that so?"

By now, I've sprinkled salt on all the fish.

"Well, anyway..."

* * *

"Now that we've waited long enough, let's skewer them, make a cross-shaped cut, and sprinkle salt on the fins and head. Then, we just need to grill them over the fire... and wait for them to cook."

"It's really taking the time."

"That's what makes it delicious! If you make something delicious, the person eating it will be happy, right? And seeing their happy face makes me happy."

"I see! For some reason, I can understand why Serena is popular..."

"Why's that?"

"It's just that..."

"Huh? Ah, Arc, the ones around here are done grilling... yeah."

"Thanks! Wow, this really is delicious... it's completely different!"

"That's right, isn't it? If you put in the effort, it becomes delicious!"

"That's true, but isn't it a hassle?"

"Arks... when you like someone, you want to do even the troublesome things for them. That's what it means to love someone, I think. I don't really understand it since I'm still a kid, but maybe that's what love is."

When you have a wife or a lover, you want to see their happy face, and it's not a hassle.

But I can't quite put into words what makes it delicious...

"Is that what it is?"

"Probably. So, Aks, do you have someone you like?"

"No way, I don't! Up until now, I've been a battle maniac, recognized by both myself and others."

What is Arks saying?

"Then, wouldn't it be better to find someone who can enjoy battles with you?"

"Such a useless thoughts, I don't think so! Fighting is a man's job!"

Arks is too sweet.

"No, it's not! I have a wife who's a goddess named Hela, and her daughter Athena is a goddess of war just like you, Arks. Those 2 are no match for Arks, but if they fought during your Mammon time, they might have won... they have that kind of power."

"Is that true?"

"Yeah... and Arks, you're misunderstanding, but in my world, there are people stronger than my dad and me."

"Well... now that I think about it, I don't need to obsess over 'strength' since I lost to Serena."

"Really? So what kind of girl does Arks like? Older? Younger? Ah, this is also burning... yeah, I'll eat this."

"What's my type... I like tall, strong, and beautiful women."

Like Mommy Misaki, maybe.

"There should be plenty of them if you look, right? None around here?"

"Ah, in the divine realm I'm in, I'm the only god of war, so there's none around."

"But it's not just gods, but humans too, right? Yeah, this is also burning."

"Thanks... haha, humans, huh? They may be inexperienced, but humans seem to be more my type."

"Then, next is Arks' girlfriend hunt, huh?"

"Serena... will you go out with me?"

"I'm free, so that's good... might as well ask Zect-oniichan for advice too."

"Zect... ah, the Hero?"

"Yeah... since I said I'm popular, he might give me advice."

"That's right, I'm counting on you."

"I've been entrusted."

Arks is a god of war too.

I'm sure he'll find a partner soon.
