The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 16.4

“Then it must have been stolen. Sitting around like that, not moving, you’re an easy target. Give up, it’s not coming back. Which means no change of clothes either… Tch, well, I’ll wash your clothes while you’re bathing, so just take them off there.”

“N-no, I don’t want to.”

“Why not?”

“I-I have underwear and stuff!”

“I know that.”

“I don’t want anyone to see…”

“Who’s going to look, you idiot? I said I’ll wash and dry them with magic. Even if they have poop stains, they’ll come out clean, so don’t worry.”

Mergin said something unnecessary again.

“I don’t have anything like that.”

Bam!

Turning bright red, the angry girl forcefully slammed shut the door to the bathroom.

She probably doesn’t want to wear clothes that got dirty after bathing… Mergin muttered as he left the bathroom grumbling.

Seeing her like that, she probably hasn’t eaten, so he decided to prepare something to eat.

He took out boar meat and orc meat from his item box and minced them. He was making hamburgers. If she said she didn’t want them, she could eat something else.

He fried the onions and let them cool before mixing them with the minced meat. He added salt, pepper, and a little herb, kneading it together. After patting out the patties with both hands and making a little dent in the middle, he just had to bake them. Hamburgers were Misty’s favorite, so he made them easily.

He warmed up the frying pan, put the hamburger mixture on it, and the girl came out of the bath.

“I-I used the towel over there, was that okay?”

“Yeah… but your hair is still soaking wet.”

Mergin realized he had only left a small towel. He hadn’t needed a large one because he always dried it with magic.

Mergin approached the girl.

“W-what is it?”

Sniff, sniff

“Your clothes still smell.”

“They don’t smell!”

After saying something insensitive, Mergin cast a cleaning spell on her clothes and dried her hair.

“There, now you’re refreshed. I told you not to put on dirty clothes after the bath.”

“I-I’m not dirty… How did you do that just now?”

The girl noticed that her dusty clothes had become clean as if they were new.

“It’s a clothes-cleaning magic. It’s sold at our magic bookshop for 3 million G, so buy the spellbook if you want it.”

“T-th-three million!?”

“Yeah. Oh, shoot, the hamburgers are burning.”

Mergin hurried back to the kitchen, where the smell of slightly burned food was starting to spread, and flipped them over to cook them gently.
