Dream Life

Tria history May 25, 2012.

It's my tenth birthday.

In preparation for my birthday, the inside of the mansion is a bummer this morning.

I'm the second son, not the second son, but I celebrate my tenth birthday in a house above the chivalry class.

At the age of ten in farmers and merchants, it is normal to work in the same way as in one serving.

Normally (...) training in full-scale martial arts begins at the age of ten, and often joins the Knights at the age of twelve. So it is considered a branch between adults and children, that is, a milestone.

Today they wear fine clothes like knightly clothes, not like usual hemp cheap clothes. I can't see who I am, so I don't know what it feels like, but at least I shouldn't look like a wild kid with a hunter dispute.

Liddy looked at me and said, "You look great," but I laughed right out with Couscous, so I suspected you looked really good.

Zach Cartel's face compliments me, but he compliments me on the fur vest I got from Rob the hunter - the wild stuff the bandits seem to be wearing - so I don't really get the opinion of the three of them either.

Just like my brother's tenth birthday four years ago, a representative of the village brings a variety of celebratory objects.

I didn't have time to breathe in the morning with congratulations from Gordon, a representative of the village, or the blessings of a cleric sent by the city of Bogwood.

Across lunch, a personal acquaintance starts to come potpounding.

Rob the hunters had a brilliant whole pig, Scott, the head of the distillery, three casks of specially increased degrees of "scotch” and “marl - wine distilled because it squeezed -" and Craig the woodworker presented us with a beautifully polished desk.

Dwarf's blacksmith, Beltram, held a near-built sword in his hand and said, "This is a sword that we are striking with special steel from Ars. I'll make the final adjustments, so come to the workshop tomorrow," he promised to strike his own sword.

In addition, all the servants will be presented with various accessories - sturdy capes, backpacks, belts that can also pinch swords thrown - to help them enter the woods.

Dan handed me a small storage made of his own tailored rabbit, and Mel and Sharon looked embarrassed and handed me the baked treats they made together.

My twin brother and sister, Theophilus and Seraphine, gave me a bouquet of flowers I had picked up in the garden.

And for dinner, the sautéed pork became the main dish, and after the meal, we had the sweets baked by Mel and Sharon. Recently, I started buying sugar, so it was a baked treat like a pound cake that did pretty well.

I received a celebration from my family that night in my grandfather's room.

My grandfather took the leather bag out of the drawer,

"There are twenty white gold coins in here. You can use whatever you want."

My grandfather gave me twenty pieces of white gold and twenty thousand C (Krona) (= twenty million yen) worth of cash.

As he looked strange, my father began to talk.

"I could have given you a weapon, but I thought the sword would be given by Beltram. Besides, you're going to the sorcery school, right? If that's all we have, we'll pay for enrollment and tuition. If you don't go, if you have all that money, you can do whatever you want."

After saying so much, my father chuckled and added, "Well, it's the money you originally made," he said.

Apparently, he kept a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the soap method.

And as my mother laughed,

"I'm in real trouble. In your case, it's strange that other people bring things that you might be able to give... hehe, money for your tenth birthday, but you decided that it would be better if you talked to your father-in-law and Matt - my father, Masaias nickname."

"Besides, I'll have Nicholas look into the school of magic. If you give me this, I can go to college without worries."

My grandfathers found out I was looking into the academy and seemed to think about pushing my back.

"Thank you. After this, I was going to talk to you, and I'm going to talk to you on this occasion. I'm going to take the entrance exam I have in July......"

I'm going to tell my parents and my grandfather what I told Liddy yesterday.

My grandfather, who finished listening,

"... I see your readiness. We're your family. Don't rely on me any time. You get it?

I snort loudly.

"Okay. But I'll try to get to the point where I can. I'm still a Lockhart man."

Then I went to Liddy's room.

"My fathers knew I was going to magic school. My birthday present was my tuition."

Liddy, hurry up and laugh,

"Sounds like Govi and the others. So, when are you leaving?

"There's got to be an exam in late July, so I'm leaving in July. Perhaps you can afford half a month because your father or someone of your squire will accompany you."

"Yes, you're a little over a month away. All right. I'll decide by then."

At the end of the conversation, when I try to leave, "I haven't given you a present yet," he calls me.

I took the ring down my neck and said, "I got this five years ago. That's enough," she laughs, "but Liddy had a serious look sometime.

"If I die, I will raise my demonic crystal stone. That booking is a gift."

I accidentally lose my word and stand up.

"I'll protect you. Even if it's your shield. And if I die... I want you to have my Demon Stone. Because I want to be with you forever..."

I reacted violently to that word.

"Don't say anything ominous! In the world I was in, it's called the Death Flag!... Please... don't tell me you're going to die as my shield..."

That's when I knew what she was thinking.

So I made up my mind, too.

"Okay... in return, if I die first, I'll give you my magic crystal stone"

Liddy opened her eyes wide and said, "Do you know what I mean by the words I just said?" and shudder like a trembler.

"Oh, I'm going to know. Is that the word of the proposal? When we die, we put each other's demonic crystal stones in the same grave. I suppose it means we'll stay together even if we die."

Tears fall zero out of Liddy's open eyes.

"I'm an elf. Your child will not be born. Maybe, I can't..."

There is no half-elf or other mixed race in this world. Very rarely, even among heterogeneous races, there are times when a child can be born, such as once a hundred years or not. But it will come into being as one race or another.

"I don't mind. I am a foreign molecule to this world. I don't know if I can have kids if I'm normally married, and in the first place, I don't even know if I can afford that."

I approach Liddy and hug her without saying anything more.

I didn't go back to my room that night.

The next morning, I headed to Beltram's workshop.

"Nice to meet you. I asked you," The Japanese knife is the way he makes it. "

I was explaining to Beltram how to make a Japanese knife when the distiller was finished.

It's been about three years since I explained how to make it, but I just made sure I had a prototype, and I didn't really care.

"Charcoal was made from charcoal, and you put in the“ core iron "you said..."

The sword in his hand was just from the stage of finishing the "vegetarian extension”.

Because double-edged “swords” are more common in this world, they make “blade iron (haha)" in both versions in a deformed version of "book three".

Als steel, made of material, is a high quality steel refined by metallic magic in the dwarfed kingdom of Kaum. Not as special as misrills and other materials, but because of their high quality, they are quite expensive materials, and just the materials that make a single sword should cost thousands of C = millions of yen.

Furthermore, when the sword is forged with the Japanese knife, the impurities are eliminated as a result of folding exercises, and steel usage is higher than that of a common forged sword. Perhaps 10,000 C's of this material alone.

When I say that,

"This steel is Scotch's price. When I wrote to Scotch's designer that I would give him the sword, the Ars artisans sent it to me. So never mind."

I thought that was Dwarf, but still hard to receive. When I'm reluctant,

"You can make him more good liquor. I'd be happier with that than with gold."

I think of the Dwarves who drink, and I laugh unwittingly.

"Thank you. I'll let you take it. Give me five years to thank you. Five years from now, I can score ten years. Let me give it to everyone."

"That's good. I'll tell the Ars. All right, come on, let me hear your request."

I ordered a lot of bastard swords.

More like a large sword for both hands than a bastard sword for me nowadays - a one-handed half sword - but I had it made pretty big in anticipation of future growth.

"When we're in July, we're leaving the village, will we make it?

"Leaving the village? Where are you going? You're joining the Knights, too?

"You're going into Doctus' School of Magic. I have an exam in late July, so I have to leave as much as I did in July"

"Right... about a month away. I'll do something about it, but show your face as often as you can."

I said, "I'm sorry I couldn't," and I bowed my head, leaving his workshop behind.

Then he decided to go back to Kanga Hill and talk to Mel and the others.

"... so I leave this village in July. I'll be back for the summer vacation, but I should be over there for five years."

When I was done talking, Mel and Sharon were in tears in their eyes.

And as they cut the weir, they started crying, and Mel followed me, "Dear Zach... don't go..."

Is Sharon speechless, just grabbing my hand and crying?

Only Dan is relatively calm and has said, "Even after he's a little older..."

"Sure, it's fun here, and I don't like leaving. But I want to do the magic. I can't do that here."

Wait until the two girls stop crying and start talking again where they have settled down.

"You may have noticed, but I'm not like a normal kid. Memories of previous life, well, you remember before you were born, you have that. Another thing is different. I was asked to be in God..."

I'm going to talk about reincarnation, protecting those sent by God, etc.

I thought it would be difficult for a 10-year-old or 11-year-old, but they all seem to have managed to understand.

"... so I have to be strong. I go to Doctus for that. Besides, my mission shouldn't last forever. When it's all over, let's all have fun living together. You can be in the village, you can be an adventurer around Periclitle when you're young, or you can go around the world. So encourage everyone to train toward it too"

The three of them nodded at my words and seemed to have managed to convince me.

Mel in particular seemed quite in the mood, wiping tears and getting up,

"I'll be stronger. Let my predecessors work out so I can stand beside Master Zach... and be a swordsman no one can beat!

impressed by it, as Dan also declares

"Me too, Father - Guy Jakes. Become a fine warrior like former adventurer scouts!

Sharon, worried about what to do, declares in a small voice, but in a firm tone.

"I want to be of some help to Master Zach...... more, study!

I was happy for the three of us.

I thought he was a kid, but he seemed old enough to have a solid idea.

"Thank you. We'll be together again. Just give me five years. 'Cause I'm gonna be strong enough not to beat everyone..."

After discussing what was to come with the three of us, I headed to the mansion yard with a wooden sword to be alone.

I was waving a wooden sword and thinking about the level I should be targeting.

(Magic goes for level fifty, at least twice the level it is now. So far, I use magic to the point of Magic (MP) criticism every day, so I'm definitely getting a higher level. But it's pretty tough to level fifty the way it's going up now. I can't say anything because I don't really understand the growth system, but if you think RPG, you can assume that your experience in combat will lead you to level up. Then, while studying at the School of Magic, it should be quick to level up if you go monster hunting...)

And we will move on to thinking about other technologies as well.

(Swordsmanship does not exist, so it becomes an autonomous treasure. I don't know how effective it is, but I just have to continue my training in the morning and evening as I have done so far. When it comes to magic and swords, you don't take bees. Then you should specialize in magic. And what are we going to do with the magic trick? This depends on the convenience of the time and the place of training...... all you have to do is conceal and detect signs. These two exercises will be difficult in Doctus. I still have to get actively into the woods and mountains. I wonder how dangerous that area is......)

When I was waving my sword, my grandfather came.

"You have a stray. What's on your mind?

I stopped waving my sword,

"I was thinking about what I should be looking for. swords and magic, scout-based techniques, and how we should train them."

"What's missing from you is experience. As soon as you step on the number of places, you become stronger. But it's not safe on its own. Even with as much talent as you, forests and mountains shouldn't go in alone. Especially the Saeum Mountains north of Doctus..."

Based on my experience, my grandfather seems to be showing me that I might be impotent.

But I'm thinking of hunting demons with some impotence in mind. So far, no company. I don't know how Liddy's gonna settle for this, but you better think I'm gonna do it alone.

"I will try to do something with some impossibility in mind. I'm not in a hurry, because I don't like to regret it later without doing it here"

My grandfather told me to whine, "Well," and left the spot.

That night, Liddy came to my room.

"I just went to Guy's house. We've been discussing Sharon..."

I nod silently and encourage ahead.

"Sharon wants to go with you. Guy said he couldn't do it about the money. He didn't shake his head vertically when I said I would..."

Again, the cost of 10,000 C (krona) of enrollment and 3,000 C per year seems to be the necklace. Guy said he was reluctant to borrow money from Liddy, his grandfather's eater, and he couldn't help but accept it.

"I'm here to borrow your wisdom. Sharon was devouring herself quite a bit when she ran away from home but followed her. If we keep this up, Guy's relationship with Sharon will be weird."

Sharon got his mind sorted out once I talked to him at noon, but he could be with me on Liddy's story, and his mind seemed to shake again.

"Right...... how about this? Firstly, on condition that admission fees are entered within number five, which will be waived in the examination. And when that condition is fulfilled, I'll lend money to Liddy or me, Sharon. If you get within number five on the entrance exam, you'll have that much talent, so that's why you're in college. Besides, Sharon, we lend money to individuals, so it's no reason for Guy to disagree."

Liddy said, "Right. I'll talk to Sharon," he says, trying to pop out.

I'll call her.

"If Sharon fails the exam, Liddy will stay in this village, too. And don't hunt Sharon down. Think of Guy's pride too..."

She blocked my words,

"I know. If that kid is to be with you too, you shouldn't have to hunt him down. Guy thinks about his pretty daughter, too, and I think he's just trying to make her give up. So it's okay."

And then he walks out of the room, but looks back as if he remembered something.

"More than that, think about Mel. Because I think it's a shock that Sharon can follow me and I shouldn't."

"Oh, right. I'll think about it."

And Liddy went to Guy's house again.

After about thirty minutes, she hears that he has succeeded in convincing Guy.

"Sharon's motivated, too. It's strong enough to pass in chief without you. Now I can be with you."

I had no doubt about Sharon's academic or magical abilities. But I also know that exams are not the only ones.

"If I can get enough power, I guess I will. But I think for Sharon, who's never been out of this village, it's a pretty tough test for hundreds of people to take together. You shouldn't be too optimistic."

He answers with a confident smile, "It's okay," even if I say so. I thought I'd have to talk to Sharon about it tomorrow, remembering a little anxiety.

The next day, after my morning training, I would talk to Sharon, but I wasn't worried about taking the exam at all. I felt sorry for you, but I'm going to talk to you about an exam that hundreds of people take.

"Taking an exam is a nervous thing. So you shouldn't think you'll be able to do what you usually do. I'm pretty optimistic about what Liddy's saying. So if not..."

"It's okay. I may be nervous, but I will never lose. Lydia told me too. If you want to be with Master Zach, you have to work hard to die.“ It's an exam. It's not a fight, so they won't kill you. So don't lose something like that ”..."

Sharon has also been in action several times in the last two years.

It's the melee I haven't experienced, but I know it with my life at stake. So I ran out of words that I wouldn't be nervous about a battle about the exams.

(Sure, they don't kill me, but exams are nervous things... I don't have any information, so maybe you don't get it, but if Sharon says it so strongly, maybe it's okay...)

And I told Mel Sharon was going to take the sorcery school.

I was wondering if she would disturb me in the middle of the conversation. But even when I hear Sharon's going with me, he bites my lips from time to time, but he listens to me quietly without disturbing me.

"I regret it, because I can't go with you. Besides, you can be stronger by teaching your predecessors the sword. So I'll do my best here."

I was surprised at Sharon too, but I lost my word because I felt like Mel had grown up all at once.

"Right...... ok. I'll try not to lose to Mel, too."

That's all I said, I walked away from her.

June 30th

The day before the Summer Solstice Festival, I was busy preparing for my departure the day after tomorrow.

The sword that Beltram was working out - the bastard sword - is also successfully completed and adjusted so that it can be carried on his back.

In addition to Beltram, he will finish his farewell greetings to Scott, the head of the distillery, and Rob, the hunters, and set off for Doctus, an academic city about 370 km away on July 2, the day after the Summer Solstice Festival.

Liddy, Sharon, and Sharon's father, Guy, are on their way to Doctus with me.

I'm asking Guy to escort me and guide me, but if I or Sharon fail the exam, he'll also escort me home.

July 1st.

As the music of the Summer Solstice Festival also came to Hakaga Hill, I sat relaxed on the south slope of the hill as I finished preparing to leave.

Then I heard someone approaching footsteps.

Looks like Mel and Sharon found me.

They sat beside me and didn't say anything for a while.

Until last year, it was us running around the festival venue, but today we're having a relaxing time at the Museum Hill.

Mel, sitting in a fixed position - next to my right - opened his mouth quietly.

"You're leaving tomorrow."

I fall asleep on the grass like a stretch, and I answer to whine, "Right."

"You say goodbye until next summer. When will you be back?

"They say the summer vacation is from July to two months. It must be around the middle of July at the earliest. Well, maybe I'll be back early next month after the exam."

When I joke and say that, Mel has a strong tone,

"Master Zach needs to be strong! Definitely pass! This is the same for Sharon."

I marvel at her voice, half awake and face her.

There was a strong will in Mel's eyes staring at me.

"Right. I have a reason to be strong. I'll make sure you pass."

Mel nodded small at it and covered it with me with her half awake.

"It's boring."

I say that in embarrassment, to mouth it, I come closer to my face.

I was suddenly black-and-white with my eyes, but I realized Mel's tears had fallen on my face, hugging her so hard that I would accept her, lips together.

I wondered what Sharon on the side was doing, but he didn't say anything about whether there was talk between Mel and Sharon. Besides, I guess he's chewing one too when he sees where Dan isn't with him all the time.

"I still miss you...... I want to be with you......"

rubbing her nose, hugging her again saying so,

"Five years is not long. Also, let's all have fun together..."

And quiet time flies by. We did nothing and the three of us were looking up at the sky.

I looked up into the pale sky and felt, "Our boyhood is over now."
