A few days from the admission briefing.
I managed to skip the aptitude check, and I waited for the school to start and spent every day relaxing.
The days when I thought I was a wizard and a demon king were no longer a distant dream.
But the days of peace didn't last that long, as expected.
It started with rumors that "suspicious people who have come to the city are looking for the wise."
The mayor of the neighboring city brought the rumor to my house. [M]
"Though I hid my identity in a robe, it looks like I'm wearing a knife... There are stories of a glimpse of the sword bearing the emblem of the land of Mary."
"The land of Mary.... I see..."
"They're asking people in the city." Have you seen anyone around here with a great disaster or powerful magic? "
That's what the mayor said, confused his lord, Father.
My father nodded silently, but I can almost imagine what he was thinking.
Because I think the same thing.
Princess Clarice kept my presence secret, as promised.
But perhaps the King discovered that he had crushed the Demon King through an investigation.
Sooner or later, I was expecting you to find out.
Stick your ears to the door and keep your ears open.
"Baby, what?
Looking back in a hurry, the maid who had brought tea looked at me and leaned her neck strangely.
"Wow! No, it's nothing!
Don't do it.
I was totally distracted by my father's conversation.
I ran away from the front of the room in a hurry.
She sighed lightly as she climbed the stairs.
Jesus Christ.
Is this what happened?
At the moment, they're hiding behind the knights of the land of Mary.
However, eventually, we may officially tell the King of this country about the situation and embark on a grand search.
If you don't tell me about the wise man's awakening, you can tell me why.
If that happens, it will become more and more important.
My father has a position as a frontier master.
If you leave me alone, I'm more likely to push you into a delicate position.
I don't want anything to bother my father.
... I can't help it.
Let's talk about this for once.
I knew this was going to happen anyway, but I felt heavy.
I don't want to worry about my parents, so I'll go home alone. How we get to Merry Country by ourselves... is that the way to go?
For a time like this, the plan was worked out.
I have mastered Transfer Magic myself when I defeated the Demon King.
However, since the magic amount is not enough, it cannot be activated at this stage.
Then we have to have someone fly us.
Only the father and the eldest son of my family have acquired the transfer magic that others fly.
While my father was talking to the mayor...
Having finished climbing the stairs, I hurried to the room of my eldest son Logan.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Did you forget something at school?
My brother, who was writing to the desk, stopped his hand and looked back at me.
I stopped by and looked up at my tall brother with my eyes full of trouble. [M]
"That's right, oniichan. Coin of treasure given to me by my dead grandfather. When I went to the school diagnosis the other day, I took it with an amulet and it fell off."
"Absolutely, Eddie. Don't take anything important to school."
"Yeah, sorry."
My brother's voice is calm, even if he behaves in a scolding manner.
This eldest son, like his parents, is weak to me, my older brother.
"I can't help it. Let's go pick it up by carriage with me."
"I can't do that... If Mom and Dad find out about the coins, they'll scold you. That's why I want you to secretly transfer me to school."
"You're a metastasis, that's...."
"Oniichan's magic transfer will be quick, right? Then I'll be back in the carriage with Max's brother!
Max, the second son, goes to college high school by carriage every day.
My brother Logan's "Transfer Magic (Other)" is something that only others can fly.
It was lucky that Logan didn't acquire the magic "Transfer Magic (Self)" to transfer himself.
Thanks to me, Logan can't tell you about me.
"Still, I'm worried about letting you go alone. It just happened the other day...."
"Oniichan already. I'm almost in first grade at Royal College. [M] I can go and get my own belongings."
When I inflated my cheeks, my brother smiled helplessly. [M]
"... I see. You're old enough to try anything by yourself. It is my brother's duty not to know if there is danger, but to let him gain some experience. ― ― Now let's prepare the transfer magic.
"Thanks, oniichan! Come on, come on!"
"Haha, you can't help it. Okay, don't rush it."
Transfer Magic is activated by drawing a magic formation at your feet.
My brother came out of the desk drawer with chalk, a large parchment paper, and a map, and spread it out on the floor.
"Eddie, stay away from me. Don't touch the magic team. It'll be tough if the technique changes."
"Yes."
My brother looked at the map, checked the longitude and latitude of the academy, and incorporated it into the magical formation.
Watch it from a distance.
It's the first time I've seen my brother write magical formations, but it's pretty fast.
Few people draw this complex magical formation accurately and without hesitation.
"All right, we're done."
That's why I shouted. [M]
"Wow! Oniichan, there's a mouse behind the curtain!
"Mmm!? Eddie, wait a minute!
"Oniichan, I'm diving under my desk!
"Okay, okay! Here!?
In the gap where my brother was bending and peeking under his desk, I took the chalk and quickly fixed the magic team.
I fixed the longitude and latitude.
--That means we fixed the destination.
... and let me fix some of the things that bother me.
My brother's magic team is not in vain, but this is a huge burden on my 6-year-old body.
My brother raised his face when he quickly rewrote it and put the chalk back where it belonged.
"Oniichan. What do you think?"
"Hmm... I'm sorry. Looks like he got away. I'll tell the maid later."
"Yeah, I'm sorry to surprise you, oniichan."
"No. Sorry to keep you waiting. Then stand in the magic formation."
Yeah!
As soon as I entered the magic formation, I activated Transfer Magic.
I meditated my eyes and relaxed my body as I felt the magical wind of transition.
A feeling of fluffiness and organ floating.
The inside of my body feels ticklish.
A moment later, when I opened my eyes, I was already standing in a different place.
The wind that surrounded me disappeared a little later.
I came to a certain office.
"Who are you?"
The bearded man sitting in the chair looked at me and raised his eyebrows surprisingly.
All of a sudden, when a child shows up and doesn't move, who does what?
The majestic manner in which he stood made me realize in an instant that he was not a fool.
I've been dating countless kings in my previous life, and it's so easy to tell in an instant whether you're an irreplaceable idiot or a fine wise king.
Only the King and I are in this office right now.
There are signs of guards on the other side of the door, but there is a feeling in the neighborhood that you don't want them to accompany you.
As far as the first impression is concerned, it would be helpful if you were the right person to talk to.
With that in mind, I speak to the king.
"You were looking for me, weren't you?
"... what?
I smiled sparingly and reached out to the person.
"You wanted to talk to me, right? That's why I came to see you, my king. Now, let's talk."
