Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)

Chapter Four: Letters, Magic and Intruders Part One

(Are you serious………)

Hershelik was in the middle of something unexpected.

The day after Count Luzeria left the world, Hershelik, who thought he needed knowledge to do anything, offered his father to study. My father did not listen in depth to my son's offer, and in two replies he arranged for a teacher the next day.

Language first.

The letters in this world, like English in Japan, were manageable once we got used to them. Honestly, English was a bad area in my previous life, but I'd rather get used to it than learn it. Teachers in charge of language were praised for being small but quick to remember.

(Sorry, the contents are ten times that, not three years old.

Hershelik is struck by a backwardness he is not sure why, and apologizes in his mind.

Next is arithmetic.

It was also difficult to remember because the numbers were only slightly different and it was decimal. Rather, I was a clerk in my lifetime, so I can afford simple calculations.

As praised as the language was, Hershelik apologized again in his heart. For some reason, I can't resist.

And here I wondered why the letters are different, but the words sound like Japanese.

I thought it was strange, but it reminds me that my self has been around for about a year. Until I was a year old, I didn't know what to expect.

(I guess it's really the language of this world just because you think I'm Japanese.

Just as Japanese will be spoken at some point in Japan, English can be spoken in the English language and French can be spoken in the French language. In other words, it is believed that the language I have heard since I was born in this world has stained me as a word.

Well, I don't remember when I started talking in my previous life, so I decided to take it upon myself to convince myself that it would be.

(When I was in English class in my previous life, why did you think I wasn't American?

Well, Hershelik's been doing very well so far.

Even a three-year-old with a three-year-old appearance, the contents are a 34-year-old social worker on the verge of Arafat, who experienced both employment and society, and also had the know-how on how to study because he was fit for a one-time qualification. In addition, it is said that the content of the elementary school in Japan was about one year of study.

But a dark cloud broke in from here.

"Unfortunately..."

The teacher said sorry. It's never his fault. Rather, the cause was on itself.

"His Royal Highness has the foundation necessary for magic. It seems to have no magic whatsoever.

(... I didn't know it was just without magic. Ahhhhhhh)

Hershelik shudders at the words for a moment, then screams in his heart. Of course I wouldn't put it on my face, but the inner upset was intense.

King's Road to comics and games, magic.

The magical things about the fantasy elements that I never had in my previous life are unworthy of age... the exterior is a three-year-old, but a little, to be honest, Hershelik I enjoyed very much.

But reality was brutal.

I tried the magic of lighting simple lights but nothing changes.

"It's really unusual..."

The magic teacher said that humans possess great and small magic powers in their bodies.

The magic that lights the light is a magic that anyone can use as long as there is magic, and the teacher himself has never seen a person without magic.

"His Majesty was originally a scholarly aspiration, but he was also good at magic………"

Your Majesty's son could not have used magic, he was told implicitly.

When asked, other princes and princesses are magically good, and their skill is leak-free and top-notch.

Hershelik is not his father's son!? And suspicion arose, and that night he visited his busy father's private room in a depression.

"Oh, your mother had no unusual magic either. Me and Hershey are so much alike, it's up to the parents and the kids.

Yes, my father told me it was obvious, and I was finally okay with it.

(Mother, I'm sorry, suspect an affair.

I never met her. I apologize in my heart for sliding in the dungeon.

(But if it's a comic book or a novel of reincarnation stuff, reincarnators can have tremendous magic.

The protagonist of a novel or comic book I've been reading in my previous life is Theory, who has many times more magic than normal people and busts the bad ones with flames and stuff.

(No, I wouldn't do it if I could.

Unfortunately, if you're the kind of person who ends up blowing it up, you don't have a hard time. Hershelik thinks there can be no real solution by working hard on it. However, it was unfortunate that magic, which was a fantasy element, could not be used.

The next thing waiting for the shocking fact of no magic was to further smash the fantasy settings of Ryoko's many pieces he enjoyed reading rather than Hershelik's...

"Does Your Highness call it normal, what do you call it………"

Just like the magic teacher, it was the Knights instructor who said sorry.

After he retired from the Knights, he was responsible for all training of the Knights, soldiers, etc., as an instructor, and he was a good at seeing the talents of many.

The instructor said, looking straight at Hershelik as he had made up his mind.

"My lord, my apologies. I'll be honest. Your Highness has no talent for swordsmanship or equestrianism.

People who spot talent knew it was the kindest thing to do to keep them from wasting hope.

Said that if I tried, I might be able to handle swords and horses in the crowd, but when it came to being top notch, I meant no hope.

"His Majesty is a master of magic and swordsmanship…………"

A similar dialogue somewhere shouldn't have been Hershelik's misremembering. I never stormed my father's room this time.

(…… or that kind father is surprisingly high spec.

What comes to mind is my father with a gentle smile. Honestly, I can't imagine a father letting go of magic or fighting with a sword, Hershelik.

In the meantime, swordsmanship and equestrianism for protection were to be learned to no difficulty, but even the journey was pushed hard.

(I did have motor tone deafness in my previous life, but come on...)

Hershelik weakens as he sits on his own couch.

No way. The main character's flag stays broken. I've thought about it before, but I think I'm among the princes, and I'm sorry to hear about the role of the child. Otome games are the last characters you can't help but attack.

(But I don't have time to be depressed.

I can't help it if I can't. Then Hershelik thinks he can do what he can now.

And retrieve the books borrowed from the royal library in the rear palace. It was more of a picture book than a book. The letters are also large and have many illustrations. It is a very understandable book.

(I need to be able to read the letters first.

I didn't like English, but I liked reading books. How many times have you had tears of remorse because a novel abroad has not been translated into Japanese and you cannot read it even though you are concerned?

(I couldn't take time because I worked before, but I have time now for toddlers.

Read tons of books and learn to write. And the numbers. There was a previous life's experience that practice is the best way to grow.

From that day on, Hershelik will spend most of the day outside the class he invited his teacher to read on the couch by the window. Where I don't know, I immediately asked teachers and Merriam, and Hershelik gave her more and more language skills.

With that in mind, six months later, he grew so that he could only read elusive specialties.

(Come on, time for the night assault report has done it.

Grasping a pocket watch that stood out to Mike alone, Hershelik talks in his mind like an announcer he had often seen on previous life television.

Six months have passed since I started studying. Understanding the letters of this world, Hershelik decided to strike the next hand.

(Today, it is the national imperative to storm, the first room of the headquarters of the Treasury!

I mean narration like a variety show in my mind, not because I'm never afraid of a castle at night.

Not because I read a book and found that there are usually evil spirits or anything in this world...... never.

(But it's still dark...)

Look around.

Before, when I went to see the Count, I was desperate and unaware, but only the moonlight illuminated the hallway of the Royal Castle.

Electricity was the primary energy in the world of previous life, and it was bright at night.

But there is no electricity in this world. Instead, there is a thing called floating magic.

Hershelik, who was devoid of magic, studied the basics of magic even if he could not practise it. He also received lectures on floating magic in it.

There are two kinds of magic in this world: the magic that people possess and the magic that drifts through the atmosphere.

People's magic is a magic point in a game, and if you use magic, it is consumed and rested, and you recover. There are also individual differences, and depending on the training, the maximum value can be raised.

(I can't do it without the first value...)

It is pointless to train an original Hershelik so that he spends a hundred dollars on zero but is zero.

The magic that drifts through the atmosphere is called floating magic. Floating magic is a generic term for magic produced by the earth, the sea, rivers, trees, etc., which creates magic so that trees photosynthesize and produce oxygen.

And its floating magic becomes light energy that illuminates the street lights, indoors, thermal energy that boils water, cold air that cools the refrigerator, and power energy to use the water supply.

It's called electricity drifting through the atmosphere, but it's an area where usage is narrowed down but future research is expected.

(You mean very ecological energy, right? It doesn't pollute nature because it's made from nature.

There is no environmental destruction in this world that was screamed out in the world of previous life. It can be said that the technology is not advanced enough to destroy it.

(Well, finally. This is the first room of the headquarters of the Finance Bureau………)

Hershelik looks up at the door of a tree that looks heavy. There was the plaque 'First room of the headquarters of the Treasury'.

Come on and Hershelik pushes the door with a small body. Since most doors are pushed doors, this castle could be opened even by the toddler himself. Although the keys are provided, it is fortunate that the department manager was not neglected or called to patrol at night, but Hershelik was able to break into the room without difficulty.

"Ugh..."

Hershelik unexpectedly frowns the moment he enters the room. It was a very messy room there.

There will be at least ten of them. On the desk in the room, the paperwork is overlapping and messy like a mountain. There were also various plaques in the director's office and conference room on the back of the door with the library and plaque on it, and on the door that would lead to another room.

"Then it won't be a job…………………"

Clerk's sexuality, Hershelik shrugged in a shuddered tone.

In my previous life, when I worked, my desk was clean and tidy, of course, from computer data to filed materials. I knew that would lead to efficient work.

However, in this state of affairs, rather than an efficient job, I do not know that I lost my documents. Instead, it can't be stolen. (i) Is it okay for the state's finance bureau to do this?

"…… but this might be more convenient.

This makes it difficult to change the position of the documents slightly or disappear. That was thankful for the sneaky Hershelik.

"Okay, now we're going to have an internal audit.

Hershelik recalls his previous life.

In my previous life, when I worked at headquarters, it was like auditing a branch office. Would the branch be doing something discretionary that would otherwise require a headquarters ruling? Do you keep proper books of income and expenditure? Is it possible to collect sales? Netineti audits like a girl who checks her daughter-in-law's cleaning for suspicions such as whether she is able to pay without delay.

From thoroughly researching and pushing branches to the bottom of fear, the nickname given to them in their previous lives is "Cool auditor at headquarters".

For Ryoko, who had not even a boyfriend instead of marriage, she is a very unwilling nickname with her aunt. If there's no problem with that, even Ryoko won't do anything to put a corner in the crate. Ryoko, who was just serious about auditing and advising and assisting, gained a lot of trust from the branch manager and branch manager, as well as from within the headquarters, despite the general clerk. He doesn't know that at all.

Hershelik takes one out of the appropriate pile of desk paperwork for now.

"Mm, I knew it was dark…………"

I tried to read the letters, but it was dark and hard to see. So close to the window that I managed to read the letters in the light of the moon and night.

(Er... product name? Is this the name of the food?

The document was apparently like a purchase value list of ingredients to the royal castle. Next to the name of the food, the place of origin and the time of harvest, and the amount are listed.

"Mm, trouble. I don't know if this is the right price right now.

No matter how much money was in line, it was high or low...... it hurt that I didn't have the basics of it.

Currency, of course. I've studied in general education classes.

The currencies of this world are copper, silver, gold and silver coins, worth one silver coin for a hundred copper coins, equal to one gold coin for a hundred silver coins and one silver coin for a hundred gold coins.

However, when the amount is larger, the amount is too high, so if the amount is larger, they will use something like a check called securities. However, you need permission from the Legal Department to use the securities.

Hershelik just haunts his mind that he has no idea how much the currency of this world can change.

"…… In the meantime, shall we look into the allowance or as soon as it is available?

Numbers don't lie. If you try to lie, there's bound to be a rundown somewhere. I just don't know if that's going to be clever.

Hershelik silently pulls the paperwork from the mountain and repeatedly reads it at the window.

Time goes on, Hershelik glances. I don't know how many hours it would have been since then. I already went around late at night when I opened my pocket watch.

My body in my previous life was ok with staying up some nights, but it seems impossible with this kid's body. Besides, my eyes get tired abnormally fast because I was reading in the moonlight.

"I knew I wanted the lights.

I hump my pocket watch while I think about disrespecting the lamp from somewhere next.

"I wish I could have at least used that light magic.

That way I wouldn't have had a hard time reading in such an unreliable moonlight.

Mumble the spell as I remember my first class. The spell was slightly different from the normal language.

If Japanese is a language, it's like English.

In technical terms, it was like a switch for activating magic with a demonic word, which uses magic to exercise magic with magic.

Superior magician...... the generic name of those who deal in magic, but if you are also a magician, simple magic can be used without the need for magic words.

There is no change around when you finish uttering the Devil's Word. It's obvious because it has no magic.

"I don't know.

Something strange happened to her body when Hershelik stood up to return to her room while she was a little discouraged.

From the right hand, I thought that the cold feeling had run, and suddenly a white ball of light appeared in front of me.

"Gah............!

On the balls of light that suddenly appeared, Hershelik hurriedly pressed his mouth as he nearly screamed.

I'm in the middle of something right now. If you make a noise from yourself, hardship is also a bubble of water.

I pressed my mouth reflexively, so I decided to drop my pocket watch. The moment the pocket watch falls to the ground and sounds high, the ball of light disappears.

"…… that?

Hershelik flips up his fallen pocket watch as he floats a question mark.

Somehow, while the white ball of light was appearing, I felt that this silver Komi pocket watch was glowing.

"Hmm."

Again, utter the demonic words of the light. A ball of light appeared after the sensation.

If you move around with your pocket watch, it will follow at a certain distance. And when I imagined turning off the lights, the balls of light disappeared without sound.

Put on your pocket watch and say the Devil's Word again. But now neither that feeling nor the ball of light appeared.

There is only one possible assumption.

This pocket watch collected floating magic, reacted to his demonic words, and activated the magic of light.

(Just a handy item!

Even magic that lights small lights is magic. The feeling of magic is the feeling of magic.

(And I'm not tired because I use floating magic!

It's like when you got your new game. This is the fantasy world! and Hershelik cheers in his mind.

Hershelik went straight back to his room and tried another magic the next day. But the pocket watch doesn't even say yes. No, because it's a watch, it's normal not to talk.

After discussing it, it was concluded that only a little magic of that magnitude can be used, such as lighting magic or lighting candles, because it absorbs and uses trace floating magic around it.

(The new game I booked and waited for is similar to the feeling of despair when it came off big......)

Dropping Hershelik, but reading the paperwork in the dark at night made my eyesight worse.
