Oh?

What are you two doing here?

I had free time, so I'm doing sword maintenance. For about 3 hours.

And I'm watching Momiji while she does that. For about 2 hours.

You really do have free time.

Now that I've done maintenance.

I would like to test how well it cuts.

But I am not on patrol shift today.

It's going to get dull.

There isn't anything happening that's worth writing about.

You are saying disturbing things again...

If you want to test how well it cuts that much,

you don't have to go to the trouble of waiting for an intruder. You can cut to your heart's content if you just do some cooking.

Just kidding.

Ah, did I get her mad...?

As if I'd use this great sword on some vegetables!

What do I do if she throws a tantrum like that...?

Cooking, huh...

That is quite a good idea.

Huh?

It's Momiji!

Momiji is here!

That's right! Nice idea, Hatate!

I'll report on Momiji "cooking" on the frontline! 料理 can mean either "cooking" or "dealing with something".

Killing two birds with one stone while killing some time!

Ehehe, it's not such a big deal...

You can stick your chest out in pride. I'm impressed. You said something wonderful.

Re, really?

Instead of waiting idly for prey, I should go search it out myself... That's what you meant, right?

Eh?

Eh? Eh?

Yeeeeaaaah!

I guess I'll start with those thugs in that back alley.
