Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

Episode 22: First time friends, flag?

To briefly explain the flow so far.

I was a flat employee of a second-class trading company in Heisei Japan, but for some reason became a young nobleman in the world of Western fantasy.

Because of his magical talents, he practiced it, worked hard, and hunted because his diet was poor.

The magic gradually improved, and in order to convey his magical skills, he learned magic from a master who was a former noble man and a magician holding a large aristocrat who became an undead monster who spoke after death. Successfully inherited his license and his legacy.

In order to prevent an unnecessary succession fight, instead of accepting the reputation of being a selfish and useless son, I succeed in gaining freedom of action.

First, he explored the wilderness, which boasts an enormous size, while also learning the magic of flight and instantaneous movement, and gained enough assets and materials that he could play many times in his life.

In the meantime, I struggle to master the brewing magic of miso and soy sauce.

Actually, it is a secret that this magic struggled the most.

One of the lords in the territory has brought a flag like a historical drama, though very small, as if he wanted me to be the next lord.

Of course I don't want to have such a hard time, so I refuse politely.

Because there is a possibility that you will be invited to Shigegami if you are at home, you entered the adventure prep school in another city at the age of twelve.

So far, about six years and several months have passed.

There were various things, but I felt like my time was passing because I was doing my best.

The current season is the beginning of April.

Because it is exactly the same as the previous life, I use it without feeling uncomfortable, but the calendar, length and weight unit in this world are almost the same as Japan.

A year is twelve months, isn't one month all 31 days and 372 days different?

Lengths are millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers.

Weights are also in grams, kilograms and tons.

Time was also seconds, minutes and hours.

There are also Mondays to Sundays, and Sundays are Sabbaths and basically closed.

Devotees of God are going to churches and other places on this day.

The religious god is said to be the god who made this world, and the name is the god itself, and it seems that it is outrageous to give other names etc.

It is a perfect monotheism, and no other god exists at least on this lingua continent.

Depending on the region, the doctrine may be slightly different in connection with the local primitive religion, and since the history is long, there are actually several religions and it is likely that in any world, it is likely that they will not get along with each other.

In a rural countryside like me, there is no idea of a Sabbath day, or there is farm work every day, and hunting and gathering are performed when there is free time.

Although there are relatively many holidays during the off-farm season, our village has a bad reputation due to the many labors involved in clearing and flood control work.

The extra talk became longer, but I successfully entered the Preparatory School for Adventurers in Breichburg, made friends, and started to work part-time in the afternoon, just a few days after the classes started, so I finally got used to the Preparatory School I will do it.

I don't really need to do that, but I don't want to know too much about my financial status, and in any case I won't be able to enter the demons area until I'm fifteen.

So I decided to hunt as a part-time job to practice combat skills.

-With Elle, who is the first friend of his age in the world, Elvin von Arnim.

"Hahhhh, we finally arrived."

"I can't help it. The hunting ground nearby is already taken by others."

I and Elle walked for about an hour and arrived at the meadow where they were taught at the preparatory school office.

Breichburg was a metropolis with a population of more than 200,000, but its population requires a huge amount of food.

Grains and vegetables come from many nearby rural areas.

Unfortunately, fish are hundreds of kilometers away from the sea, so river fish are the main fish, and the rest are salted or dried fish.

Although the salt was a little expensive, it seems that it is cheaper than other inland cities because it is carried in large quantities.

Sugar is also a bit cheaper because it is the southern part of the country.

And there were remaining meat, but this was not enough with the pastures in the surrounding villages alone.

The land was constantly cleared and the production of cereals was increasing, but the population was increasing in proportion to that, so the amount of cereals available for meat production was not keeping up.

The important thing is the existence of adventurers.

Speaking of adventurers, some people only enter the territory where monsters live and hunt monsters there, and obtain valuable materials and meat, but not all are strong enough to hunt monsters.

Many of them have been securing meat for people to eat in such remote places.

In the countryside, there are professional hunters, and farmers hunt when they are free, or sometimes hunt in villages to get the meat they need.

In urban areas, it was common sense for hunters to enter the adventurer's guild and hunt.

The adventurer's guild was also a hunter (hunter) guild.

Therefore, this hunt is a part-time job of a student at the adventurer prep school, or an important work that foresees the future of some people.

Wild animals are not as strong as monsters, but nevertheless, adventurers who are sometimes attacked by bears and wolves die, and if they are careless, they are still dangerous.

Just because we were hunting, we couldn't be careless.

"Everyone hastily went to a nearby hunting ground."

"Because there is danger in a distant place."

It seems that dangerous animals such as wolves are often located in such remote places.

In addition, most of the part-time workers seem to have gone to the hunting grounds near the city, considering that they are students only and are planning tomorrow's classes.

"But it's going to be more competitive."

"In fact, there seems to be a lot of people who can't hunt anything."

There are few hunting grounds near the town because they are often hunted for prey.

Because there are professional adventurers there, it seems that many inexperienced students are not able to produce results.

This seems to be the so-called “baptism for newcomers”.

Most people who haven't achieved hunting results for several days continue to give up and change to part-time jobs such as store keeping and carrying luggage.

"If you're so far away, there aren't many other adventurers. Well, Vell."

"be quiet……"

When I tell Elle to be quiet, I continue to search around with the magic of detection that was activated.

"A magic of detection? I can use something useful."

"It's magic that's convenient for hunting.

When I move with two fingers pointing at the responding person, I encounter a scene where a big boar is digging a tree root underground.

I'm definitely looking for potatoes.

"It's a big thing."

"Ah"

It's no use to make any more noise or just stare, so I and Elle immediately turn their arrows on the bow they were preparing before aiming.

Elle won a scholarship scholarship student, but she was also good at handling bows because she hunted from a young age.

Skill is probably better than me, who can correct the orbit with magic.

He sold his hard-earned hunts for several years, earning some of his travel and stay expenses to Breichburg.

"Boost arrows"

"Ah"

At the next moment, I and El release an arrow at the same time.

Then the two arrows pierced the boar's butt and back.

"Boost is useful"

Arrows strengthened by the wind magic boost boosts the flight distance, increases penetration power, and penetrates prey deeply.

If it was stabbed in a crucial point, it was possible to take even a very large sick with a single blow.

It seems that this time it wasn't a great deal of damage because the prey had stuck his head into the hole.

"Do you run surprised?"

"Sorry, I'm really angry."

I didn't know because I never hunted in the previous life, but I feel that there are many ferocious wild animals in this world.

After receiving the arrow, I think it is common sense to escape here, but for some reason I try to take revenge on the person who harmed me.

According to a lecture from a prep school teacher, several adventurers per year were seriously injured in the counterattack, but were killed if they were bad.

"I'll rush"

"It's rather convenient,"

Me and El do not panic, turn on the next arrow and release it.

In addition, both arrows reinforced by boost will pierce the wild boar of the wild boar rushing here.

The boar stopped moving with a terrifying noise.

"Is it dead?"

P el carefully approached the boar and saw with a sword that the boar was already dead.

"I'm lucky, but Vell is a good bow."

"The result of practice"

At first, the aim was subtle, so I was almost magically tweaking to orbit, but recently my aim was finally accurate.

Still, it was far below Elle's arm where the arrow was pierced in the middle of the boar's brain.

"Vell is good because you can use magic.

"all right"

I immediately put the desperate boar in a magic bag.

If you end up in a magic bag, you will not have the boar's blood solidified or the meat quality degraded because the time is stopped during the end.

Because it was more efficient to collect the prey later, it was better to just put it in a bag.

And the bag that ended the prey is a new one I made.

I made it for practice of making magic tools, but I thought it would be good to make it in advance, thinking that the body of a dripping boar would be stored in the magic bag that I always use.

This new bag is also a product that can only be used by wizards, since general-purpose products that can be used by ordinary people could not be made.

Moreover, it was easy to make, so it had a drawback that it only had the capacity of one house, but if it could be divided as a bag for prey, it should have been convenient.

"There is quite a small prey scattered within a kilometer."

"Well, it's a hit. Let's compete for which one you can hunt more."

"The loser is arrogant for dinner."

"Roger that"

I and Elle split into two hands and start chasing their prey.

We joined two hours later and were immediately announcing the results.

"I have six rabbits."

"Dude"

"It's correct only for rabbits."

After all, Elle also seemed to be excellent at the bow arm.

"I have two rabbits and three guinea fowls. Umm, I'm losing."

"It's not a number, but you can often hunt guinea fowls so much."

No matter how good the bow arm is, the guinea fowl is so sensitive to human signs that it often escapes before entering the range of the bow.

It was the reason that the hunter was made to cry.

I can magically change the range and trajectory of the bow, so it's relatively easy to catch.

"Because the wins and losses are numbers, El won. What do you want to eat?"

"Why did you decide after returning to town?"

"The town is 500 meters east of the town. Two human reactions, twelve wolf-like reactions ..."

"Is it bad?"

"Ah"

In terms of circumstances, the herd of wolves surrounded the two hunters.

Wolves, which form a herd with dogs, pose a threat to humans, both individually and in groups.

In fact, many people die every year after being attacked by a wolf.

"Are you going to help?"

"Because I'm on the way home, do I have to wake up when I die"

"But in time?"

"No, it's an emergency."

I quickly cast the magic of strengthening my body and speeding up, and I went to the scene at a terrible speed with Elle.

"Teme! At least explain what kind of magic and how to do it!"

"I missed time.

"Ah"

I sprinted over a distance of 500 meters while holding El in just a few tens of seconds, listening to her complaints and watching the scene of the scene.

It seemed that there were two students from the same preparatory school we were surrounded by wolves.

One is a spear, and the other is unusually like a sword fighter with his back on both hands.

In this western fantasy-like world, kempo has actually spread as a popular fighting technique.

Battlefield martial arts, which were developed so that you can fight with bare hands when you lose weapons on the battlefield, are said to be the foundation, and many schools have emerged.

But now many of them are on the decline.

After all, bare hands couldn't compete against ferocious wildlife or even demons.

Some schools have been designated as mandatory training menus, such as security guards for maintaining security in urban areas, and are keeping their lives.

After all, the magical style popular among adventurers may be the most famous in the world.

The magical style is a martial art in which the magical power is turned into a fighting force as if it were read.

Naturally, you can't use it without some magic power.

To be awesome, you need at least some magic between beginner and intermediate.

However, there is no guarantee that a person in a house holding a school will necessarily have a magical power, so it is common knowledge that the purpose of such a person in a house is to convey the types of techniques and training methods.

The other is to use magic to fight, so you can't use other magic while using.

It was widely acknowledged that people with intermediate or lower magical powers could learn less magic, and the types of magic learned were delicate.

However, if training increases the efficiency of magical power consumption, you can fight like a superhuman for a long time with less magical power, and in fact, it was also a job that many people left in history as adventurers.

"Well, don't you remember?"

"is there"

It will be so.

The two people surrounded by the wolf were classmates in the same scholarship class at the prep school.

Wearing a spear is the same age as us, stretching his flaming red hair to his waist and gathering it in the back.

Eina Zuzane Hillenbrand, a beautiful girl with a slender body and a cat-like image.

Her parents' home seems to run a dojo that teaches soldiers how to spear in soldiers in Breichburg.

Her name seems to be noble, but her family is not officially noble.

Because he was a spearman, he had been appointed for a long time as an instructor to teach spears to soldiers from Bleichburg's lord, Breichrader.

Formal nobility refers only to those appointed by the kingdom and their families.

So, Breichrader and his family are noble, and even a small knight like my family is noble.

If you are a nobleman, you have a large vassal or relatives, and the fruitfulness is far more than we have, but they are not exactly noble because they are jury members.

It was treated as an aristocrat only in the aristocratic territory where it served, and was treated as a semi-aristocrat.

In recent years, it seems that more and more people are not aware of the difference.

Even if you didn't understand, nobody was troubled and there was no problem.

In addition, the tragedy of children who cannot take over their homes is common to the jury.

Sure, this Ena Zuzane Hillembrandt should have introduced herself as her third girl.

Whether to go somewhere to marry, but it is common for the three girls of the jury to first not marry to the same jury's house, and they seem to be aiming for adventurers if they want to build themselves.

Actually, there were quite a few women who became adventurers under these circumstances.

Even though there are arms, the military has a narrow door to women, so it naturally comes to aim for adventurers.

The other is 12 years old, just like us, but if he's small and poor, he can only look like 10 years old.

Still, because she is a scholarship student in the magical style, she is a pretty beautiful girl.

It should have been named Luise Jolande Aurelia Overvelk, although it was a little raccoon face with light blue hair shortcuts, but it looked very cute.

My memory ability that remembered this may be greater than I thought.

But the noble names, including my own, are often useless and long.

She also heard that her parents taught soldiers a magical flow in Breichburg, and that they belonged to a servant of Bleichrader.

I remember three girls, like Eena, who introduced themselves to be adventurers in order to build themselves.

That's a lot of people in the scholarship class at the prep school.

Of course, there are many in ordinary classes.

No wonder, nobles weren't easy business, and this world was also hard-to-find evidence.

No matter how many noble children, if you make everyone noble, no matter how much the budget and territory of the kingdom, there is not enough.

So the offspring fall off to the commoners.

In recent years, such cases have increased in the royal family, and it was common sense that even if they were born into a royal family, they could never be said to be safe.

Speaking of whether you have time to explain, there was actually.

In the meantime, El dropped down from his possession and fired his bow, piercing the heads of two wolves in a row to take his life, and the remaining ten were all silenced by elaborate magic after a long time Because he was.

First, the two women were separated from the wolf by the magic of the earth wall, and then the non-attribute magic arrows were fired at once to kill the wolves.

"My activity doesn't make sense! I mean, vel !! If you have that magic, you won't need a bow and arrow!"

"Necessity. Using bow and arrow saves magic power."

When she answered Elle and removed the earthen wall surrounding the two women, there were two figures that did not lose their surprise.

"Well, are you okay?"

"It's okay ... you're the same class, Venderin, isn't it?

Is it really possible to get along with two beautiful girls of the same class who helped by accident?

I mean, I felt like talking to a woman of the same age for the first time in six years.
