A Special Encounter With An Imperial Princess As I Get Reincarnated To Isekai

Potential

After the grueling training session, Satoru lay on the ground, lost in thought.

"Hey, Janne," he called out.

"Hmm? What's up?" she replied, looking over at him.

"I was wondering, how long do you think it will take for me to reach your level of strength?" Satoru asked, his eyes reflecting both determination and curiosity.

Janne pondered for a moment, tapping her finger against her lips. "Hmm... I'd say... maybe... four years?" she finally answered.

"Four years, huh... that's quite a long time," Satoru mused, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Yeah... it is," Janne agreed softly.

"Ah!!" Janne suddenly screamed, startling Satoru out of his thoughts. He sat up quickly, his eyes wide with confusion.

"Wha-what's wrong?" he asked, his heart racing.

"It's all your fault! I made breakfast before coming up here, and now, because of your training, the steak must be cold by now!" Janne exclaimed, her face a mixture of frustration and dismay.

"Ah?!" Satoru echoed, equally alarmed.

They both stared at each other for a moment, the weight of their realization sinking in.

Janne hurriedly got up and rushed towards the kitchen, leaving Satoru to quickly follow her.

As they reached the kitchen, the delicious aroma of cooked steak wafted through the air, though it was clear that the meal had been sitting for a while.

Janne sighed, looking at the now-cold steak with a mixture of regret and resignation. "I guess we'll have to reheat it," she said, her earlier frustration giving way to practicality.

Satoru, feeling guilty, offered to help. "Let me assist you. It's the least I can do after all the trouble I've caused."

Janne glanced at him, her annoyance softening into a small smile. "Alright, but you better don't mess up," she teased, her eyes sparkling with a hint of amusement.

Together, they set about reheating the meal, their earlier tension melting away in the warmth of their camaraderie.

As they worked side by side, Satoru couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for Janne's patience and support, knowing that with her by his side, even the long road to strength didn't seem so daunting.

In the familiar comfort of the living room, two silhouettes appeared on the couch, sitting close together as they enjoyed the meal they had reheated together. '

Their conversation meandered through various topics, eventually landing on one that had been on Satoru's mind.

"So, you said you want to get stronger quickly, at least see some results in the short term?" Janne asked, her eyes searching Satoru's face for his true intentions.

"Yes, exactly," Satoru confirmed, his determination evident in his tone.

Janne leaned back, pondering for a moment, then turned to him with a twinkle in her eye. "Well then... today, you will start learning magic. I'll teach you myself, step by step," she declared, her voice filled with both challenge and promise.

Satoru's eyes widened in surprise and excitement. "Magic? Really? You'd teach me that?" he asked, hardly daring to believe his luck.

"Yes, really," Janne affirmed with a nod. "But it won't be easy. You'll need to focus and put in the effort."
