Food~?
Risotto is delicious too, but after all, I think the meat grilled by Master is the best.
A delicious wolf meat steak anytime~
Stir-fried chicken with vegetables, extra meat and all~
I want to eat that grilled frog meat once more♪
What will today’s meal be~♪
…Huh? Today’s meal?
Nyu, nyu nyu?
Ah!
I think I understand why Liza is worried.
If this continues, even after noon, Master and she will still be apart~?
Unyu~
If only Pochi hadn’t thrown scissors in rock-paper-scissors back then, we could have gone together…
Ah, today’s lunch.
The meat dish Master makes~~~!!

My inference circuit tells me the mission completion probability has exceeded 100%.
There are no further orders from Master in the command queue.
Let’s return to the normal routine.
Self-diagnosis… no issues. No need to replenish MP—I shouldn’t need to, but Master’s face comes to mind. What is this loop in my logic circuit?
It’s okay. I have learned that in times like this, looking at Pochi or Tama resolves the loop.
Tama, who was watching Lulu’s cooking, rolled over. So adorable. Is this “cat rolling”? “Cat affection”? Unfortunately, these words are not in my preset vocabulary.
After giving Tama enough affection and correcting the logic circuit malfunction, I proceed to the next sequence.
Diagnosing accompanying individuals…
Mother is stable.
Since Lulu started cooking, no problems.
Tama is adorable.
Liza… error.
It seems Liza is accumulating stress from being separated from Master.
This stress must be related to some so-called nobles. The previous Master also marked them as priority elimination targets. I have not seen them, but I can infer they are a type of monster.
However, logically, I cannot see Master falling behind. Master defeated the strongest iron golem in that labyrinth with no time to even blink. Even if facing an army, Master would probably return unscathed.
I do not understand why Liza is accumulating stress, but I can suggest a solution.
“Liza, please go to Master.”
“But that goes against Master’s orders.”
“No, Master’s orders are only these three points: ‘assign villagers work,’ ‘collect 100 red stones,’ and ‘we do not collect stones directly.’ The villagers are cooperative, and mission completion is only a matter of time. There is no problem if Liza goes to Master.”
“But the escort of the carriage…”
“Master’s highest priority for safety is not the carriage, but Lulu. I will stay to escort Lulu, so please take Mia and Tama and go support Master.”
Liza hesitated slightly but then took Tama and Mia and headed toward the city on horseback. I will also head to support Lulu.
I am Nana, the seventh-generation homunculus created in Adjustment Tank No. 7.
Sleeping next to cooking, babysitting, shopping, workshop visits.
No previous No. 7 in the library has experienced so much variety.
Under Master, what kind of experiences will I have?
That is right, I am very much looking forward to it.
◇Tama◇
“Tama, Mia, we are heading to Master. Prepare in 30 seconds.”
“Nn.”
“Yesss.”
Yay, today’s lunch is Master’s grilled meat.
The horses are also getting fired up with a shiver.
The horses seem to want Master’s food too.
I step onto the footstool and saddle the horses.
I’m already used to it.
“Tama, the saddle’s girth is loose. It will slip off like that.”
Liza’s checks are always strict.
◇Liza◇
I lead Tama and Mia and leave the village.
Without Nana’s encouragement, I probably wouldn’t have had the resolve to leave the village despite my anxiety. I need to thank her properly later.
Of course, I know Master is strong.
In the labyrinth, Master fought many battles bringing us three who were only a hindrance, teaching us skills to fight monsters.
But nobles are different. They are enemies you cannot fight with raw strength. My father, who was the strongest in our tribe, was deceived by a human noble and helplessly enslaved.
“Liza~?”
