This “Summon Kitchen” Skill is Amazing! ~Amassing Points by Cooking in Another World - Chapter 92

Continuing from Shizuku’s POV*

I hated being a saint.
Because I’m a saint, I can’t go back to my original world anymore.
I can’t meet my father or mother, and I thought that I had no choice but to live in this world forever.
That’s why I was glad I couldn’t use the skills.
I didn’t even think to use it.

“Again. . . this room.”

I couldn’t move my body and was transported to the room I had been using before.
Spacious, clean and luxuriously furnished rooms.
I was lying on the bed in that room.
How long has it been?
. . . . . It must be late at night. Maybe morning is near.

“. . . My body can move.”

I thought I used all my strength, but after a little rest, I recovered quickly.
I wonder if this is the effect of magic infinity. . .
I didn’t feel like sleeping anymore, so I got up from the bed and let out a sigh.
The sheets that touch the body are high quality and smooth sheets.
The bed had a luxurious canopy and was elaborately crafted.

“. . . I don’t need it all.”

I don’t want to be hyped up as a saint.
I don’t want to live a luxurious life.
At first, I just wanted to return to my original world.

But what I want now is. . .
What I want to see now is. . .

“. . .Shina-san.”

I want you to hold my hand and tell me it’s okay.
I want you to ask me to eat with you.

“Shizuku-chan.”

So, call me by name.
I want you to smile.

“But. . . that’s. . .”

It’s in vain.

“. . .It’s my fault, isn’t it?”

I get out of bed and walk to the window.
The windows were large terrace windows that opened onto balconies.
If you look outside from there, the sky is pitch black and you can’t see the stars.
I felt like something crossed it, but the darkness felt like my heart, and I couldn’t look at it, so I put my head down.

. . . .Shina-san came to this world because of me.

I want to be with Shina-san.
It’s not something that I, who got her involved, can say.

“If it’s Shina-san. . . I’m sure. . .”

I’m sure you’ll be surprised by my feelings, and I’m sure you’ll answer me right away.
. . . Shina-san is kind.
She will never say it’s my fault.
But I don’t think I can rely on that kindness. . .

I like the kind Shina-san.
I like Shina-san, who has a cute smile.

That’s why. . .

“I. . .I can’t see Shina-san anymore. . .”

When I whispered that, the window rattled for some reason.

“Eh, was it wrong to meet you?”

. . . Who was there?

“lie. . .”

The voice I wanted to hear the most.
When I looked up at that voice, there was the person I wanted to meet the most. . .

“Thanks to Shizuku-chan, the barrier was able to be created, so I thought I had to go to her side. . .”

The voice heard through the window is muffled.
So I don’t think it’s true.
. . . This is all a dream.
I wonder if it’s just an illusion that my desires showed me. . .
I think so, but hurry up and open the window.
When I opened the double-door window, the wind rushed into the room and the curtains fluttered.

“Shizuku-chan, you did it.”

The person who was avoiding me as I opened the window enters the room.
Then she grabbed my hand tightly.

“You saved the world.”

I can tell from the warmth of the hand that it’s not a dream.
Besides, if you look at that person, you’ll know it’s definitely not a dream.

“. . . .Tsu, Shi,na. . . . .Tsu”

Because her face is pale. . .
With knees that look like they were going to collapse at any moment, she was still standing desperately. . .
Her gentle smile is the same as always, but I’m sure she’s desperately trying to make that. . .

“Shina-san. . .”

Because I know how much you failed.
I know you’re still pushing yourself for me.

. . . My eyes became hot on their own.
I don’t mean to bother you, but I can’t stop the overflowing. . .

“W-what’s wrong, Shizuku-chan, I’m sorry, were you surprised? I think I was a little too tattered.”

Shina-san hurriedly wiped my cheek.
Her hand was also trembling a little because she was tired.

“. . .Shina-san, how did you come here?”

“On Gyabussh.”

“So, uh. . . You’re not good with dragons. . .you said you’ll never ride one again.”

You said you would never ride a dragon. . .
Still, she came.
I’m sure she came right after the barrier was created.
Thinking about it, I couldn’t stop the overflowing tears. . .

“Yes. But I decided not to leave Shizuku-chan alone. It’s amazing to set up a barrier, so we have to be together.”

Shina-san laughs.
Then she raises her eyebrows a little.

“Also, I’m a little worried. . .Didn’t Thruster-san say something unnecessary?”

“Is he the one with the glasses?”

“Yeah. I hope Shizuku-chan isn’t thinking too much.”

Shina-san nodded, saying that everything was fine.

“Hurst-san is really strong, so you can rest assured, and if I ask Ryleigh-kun, anything will come true through Thruster-san. If I ask Zezgard-san and Gyabussh, they’ll take me anywhere. . . Ash-san is good at singing, it seems.”

“Is he good. . . at singing?”

“Yeah. He’s also good at imitating.”

I don’t know who Ash is.
But Shina-san said it with a serious face. . .
My heart that was so painful became lighter. . .

“If Shizuku-chan has to cry like this, I’ll take her away.”

There’s nothing to worry about.
Shizuku-chan, please don’t cry.

. . .The hand that wipes my cheek over and over again tells me this.

“Since Shizuku-chan can go to the kitchen, I’ll sneak in like this and have Shizuku-chan stay in the kitchen. If I leave her with an innocent face. . .a perfect crime.”

Shina-san, who smiles a little badly, is also very cute.
I think I have to say something to Shina-san.
I’m scared to say it, but. . .

“. . .Shina-san, I put up a barrier. I’m sure I’m the one that was called to this world. . . I’m the one who got Shina-san involved.”

That’s why I have to apologize.
No matter how many times I apologize, it’s not enough.
It’s not about forgiving or not.
I just want to apologize a lot to Shina-san.
But. . .

“Yeah. I’m really glad Shizuku-chan isn’t alone.”

Shina-san laughed and said she was glad she got involved.

“I can’t be of much help, but when I think about Shizuku-chan crying alone like this, my heart hurts a little. That’s why I’m glad I came to this world with Shizuku-chan.”

There’s no lie in that smile. . .

“Also, the kitchen is still evolving, so I want to brag to Shizuku-chan. Also, I want Shizuku-chan to eat a lot of food. I can earn points just by eating it. If Shizuku-chan eats it, it’s 10,000 points.”

I’m lured by that smile, and even though I’m crying, a smile spills out on it’s own.
I fell like I don’t have to think about many things anymore.

“. . .That’s right. If I eat it, it’s 10,000 points, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. Right now, Shizuku-chan’s points are the highest.”

“. . .Then, we have to be together.”

“Yes! I want you to be with me.”

. . . . .Shina-san is amazing.
My troubles, anxieties, and pains.
All of it.
It melts away quickly.

“I’m relieved to see Shizuku-chan’s smile. . .”

Shina-san said that and collapsed on the spot.

“. . .Shina-san.”

“I’m sorry. . .Can I rest for a while?”

Maybe Shina-san’s physical strength and willpower are really at their limits. . .
I quickly lend my hand to Shina-san and go to the bed together.
When the two of us crawled into the bed, Shina-san gently hugged me.

“From the beginning, I thought Shizuku-chan was an amazing girl. . .She was cute. . .”

Perhaps my tear ducts have gone crazy, and she pats me on the back as if to soothe my tears.

“Your black hair is shiny. . .your black eyes are wet. . .”

But it’s getting slower and slower. . .
I was at a loss for words, and after that all I could hear was Shina-san’s soothing breathing.
After confirming that Shina-san was asleep, I hugged her tightly.

“. . .warm.”

. . .The person I love.

“Because you were there. . .I was. . .”

. . .Yes. All because Shina-san was there.

I was the one with the [Holy Magic] skill.
I was the one who set up the barrier.
From the perspective of the people of this country, the saint is probably me.
But. . .

“. . . Shina-san is the saint.”

. . . .Because you saved the world.
