Magi’s Grandson
Daily life in the third year
It has been three years since new entrance examinations were conducted each year.
In addition, several new regiment members joined the regiment, and Van and Minneapolis graduated from the lower organization so that they could perform their daily tasks as members of the regiment.
It is a pleasure to see that the company has become seriously understaffed.
The reason for the shortage of staff was first that Thor and Julius were about to succeed to the title, so they went from full-time to part-time.
Augg hasn't inherited the throne yet, but he has a lot of work as a prince, so he also worked part-time.
Alice married Lois, and she's on maternity leave because she had a baby this year.
In addition, Alice is the next Viscountess, so she is expected to work part-time even if she returns from maternity leave due to socializing with aristocrats.
In addition, Yuri and Maria got married.
Yuri and Morgan, who had been dating for a while, and Maria were married to Cartus, as everyone expected.
However, Maria and Mr. Cartus had quite a twist and turn, so they were only recently married.
He is still serving as an active regimental member.
However, Yuri got married two years ago, and she also had a child this year, so she is currently on maternity leave.
Sicily and Olivia are pregnant again and are taking maternity leave because they are about to give birth by the end of the month.
As a result, three men are working part-time due to the circumstances of their parents' home, and four women are on maternity leave due to marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, or suspension of activities.
I, Tony, Mark, Maria, and Lynn are the five most ready-to-move personnel.
Honestly, I think you're doing well in your activities.
Sicily, Olivia, and Yuri will return to work when the maternity leave is due, but they are not in the current state.
When Van and Minneapolis learned the magic of the gate, we all admired it.
Well, in such a situation, the work itself is not unexpectedly delayed.
The reason for this is that the level of each country's high school of magic has risen since Ultimate Magicians began to take the entrance exam every year.
Along with this, even if I failed the exam, the number of excellent wizards had increased, and the number of requests to Ultimate Magicians had decreased.
However, even if the office standby is no longer available, there is also education for new employees, and it is still fully operational.
I live such a busy day, but I still take my holidays properly.
Aug is still coming to me today on holiday at home.
That said, I'm not here to play.
"...... this smells a lot like Kina"
I murmured as I read the materials handed over by Augg.
"Oh, the country has become even more rough in the last three years. Honestly, it's a dubious level to be able to maintain a nation."
Aug taught me that with a bitter look on my face.
The story is about the Derm.
The dossier that Augg brought is the Derm's undercover findings.
"I have the results in my possession..."
Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind is whether this is going to be okay as a country.
In the dossier, the wrongdoing of the elected councillors is described... "
Bribery, embezzlement in connection with the healing of a vendor, criminal misappropriation, etc.
It is a trade fair for corrupt politicians.
Although the theme was to eliminate inequality by electing citizens, only some of the power holders are currently smoking delicious juices.
The tax imposed on the citizens seems to be heavy, and the citizens' dissatisfaction seems to be one step ahead of the early riots.
In such a situation, what is the head of state, Prime Minister Derm, Hyiro doing...?
I'm trying to do everything I can, but I don't hear the congressmen, so I don't think they're doing anything.
Perhaps the stress is accumulating in the domestic situation, which is too outrageous, and I often take time off from my government because I often get sick.
As a result, the prime minister is supposed to be doing nothing, pretending not to see the current situation, while his approval rating falls.
It seems to be equal to zero at the earliest.
"This is outrageous..."
I was worried when I heard that the Derm would abolish the aristocracy and embark on full democratization.
If the citizens were originally dissatisfied with the monarchy and were eager to democratize politics, that would be true.
However, as far as I can tell from the previous Derm, few citizens were dissatisfied with the Derm Royal Family.
Yet, in the wake of the Derm's new king's outrage, the process of abolishing kingdoms and democratizing them was completed in a short period of time.
The timing of the royal bombing may have been good, but I have only the impression that the democratization was too hasty.
Until then, the nobles who had been involved in politics were eliminated at once, and the citizens who had not been involved in politics at all were set up as politicians.
It is determined that there will be distortion.
Still, it is only because there are bureaucrats working under politicians that we are able to maintain our system as a country.
From the documents, it appears that he is pressuring the bureaucrats and intimidating the rebellious bureaucrats.
... you're rotten.
"I checked the Derm councillor... but there are many people who are connected to the undercover society or the undercover society itself." I can only think of it as a madness such as entrusting state affairs to such a person. "
"No, really... what did this Prime Minister Hyiro want to do?"
"When there was a demon commotion, everyone seemed to admire you." The most powerful knight in the Derm who could use magic and swords, and sat in the cauldron after the chief who was killed by the demon after the rampage. "
"You're a war hero... but you look dazzling on the battlefield..."
"It's completely different from government." Even so, he became a prime minister because he was popular with the people. But that's the way... "
Too much. That's what happens.
I sighed deeply as I watched the situation in the Derm without waiting for the uprising.
Why Augg is investigating the Derm was triggered by the Ellie raid.
I began my investigation by saying that the mastermind behind Ellie's assault was in the Derm.
After all, I didn't get to the mastermind, but in the course of the investigation, I learned about the situation in Darm.
I began an investigation into the Derm nation, apart from the Ellie attack, saying that the international community might someday be saddened by a situation that was too outrageous.
The result is the material I have in my possession.
Nevertheless, when the Derm was still decent, it was a beautiful country lined with Creator God's historical buildings.
I didn't expect it to be rough in just a few years.
When I was holding the material and facing Aug's painful expression, I felt a sign of someone running from behind.
And then the sign came and attacked me.
"Huh!?"
My back on the couch is hiding behind my back.
I jumped over its back and attacked its back.
Unexpectedly, I let out a strange voice.
But we couldn't avoid the raid.
Because...
Pahhhh!
It was Charlotte, my daughter, who attacked us.
At the age of three, Charlie jumped over the back of the sofa so easily that she became a chauffeur.
If I avoid it, Shal will dive from his face to the low table.
That's why I spared the raid!
"Oh, hello, Shal."
"Hello, Grandpa Gu!"
Since she was sitting opposite me, Aug, who had seen Shal rushing up from behind and jumping in, greeted Shal with a giggle.
Shar replied cheerfully, looking around and tilting his neck.
Uncle, what about you?
Charles and Via have been very close since they were babies.
If Augg was coming, he'd have thought his daughter Via was coming too.
So you were looking for Via.
"I'm sorry, but I have an errand for Shal's dad today." Via's not here. "
"I see..."
Charlie was overwhelmed by Aug's response.
It was pathetic, so I held her in my arms to comfort her, and I heard footsteps from behind.
"Shal! Don't let your fathers get in your way!"
It was Silver, who was six years old, who rushed over to say that.
Growing silver grew into silver hair and a straight face, and at the age of six, it grew into a beauty with a sharp figure.
At the Royal Elementary College, where I enrolled from this year, it seems that I'm getting a lot of enthusiasm from mega-girls.
I felt so proud when I heard that from Sicily.
"Hello, Silver. You look fine."
Ah, Uncle Augg, hello.
Silver, who was spoken to by Aug, bowed his head and greeted him politely.
Courtesy. You look great, Silver!
"Come on, Shal, let's go that way."
"Huh? I didn't want to bump into you!"
"Is that so, Dad?"
When Silver entered elementary school, he began to call himself "Dad" instead of "Dad".
Well, it's a boy, and I know it's time to be embarrassed to call you Dad, but... I miss you so much...
"Well, I guess we were just cut off from each other." Come on, silver too. "
Ah, yeah.
"Keep going! Keep coming!"
Charl, who jumped from my arm, called out to Sisily, who was chasing behind Silver.
"Yes, I'm coming."
Sicily walked in with a big belly, smiling bitterly at the noisy Charlie.
I stood up and ran to the side to escort Sisily.
Are you okay, Sisily?
"Yeah, it's okay. Thank you."
Having said that, Sisily's smile grew more beautiful as she grew older.
I'll always fall in love with Cicilie.
It's all right for now!
That's right.
When I was escorting Sisily, Shal and Silver looked at me and said that.
"Yes, Mom and Dad are very good friends."
Shit, it's so cool!
Shal exclaimed, then slammed the sofa into a van.
"Stay here! Sit here!"
"Yes, yes."
Sicily said so and sat down in the place indicated by Charles.
Onii-chan is here!
Here?
Yeah! So, I'm going to shout!
Shal said that and sat between Sicily and Silver.
... is that it?
"Where's my dad?"
"Papa is so cool and tough."
……
... Seriously?
I dropped my shoulder in a shock because of what I did to my daughter.
"Kukukuku"
"Fufufu"
Looking at me like that, she's laughing not only at Aug, but even at Sisily.
"Sisily..."
”Fufu, Sharu just got along with my dad, so now you want to get along with your mom and oniichan, right?”
Yeah!
Shal said that and hugged Sicily.
"Ah, Shal, you can't hug your mother too much because she has a baby in her stomach."
Silver says that and pulls Shal from Sisily, but Shal is desperately resisting.
"Oh no! Let's make this better!"
"Fufu, thanks for the silver. But it's okay, let Shal do what she likes."
"If that's what your mother says, that's fine."
I was praised by Sicily for being shiny, and even though I dyed my cheeks red, I let go of Shal with a slightly frivolous gesture.
Silver is also a boy, so it would be embarrassing to be praised by Mom.
Ah, that was awesome!
As he narrowed his eyes to see the silver growing smoothly as a boy, Shal, who was stroking Sicily's stomach, shouted out loud.
"You were happy because your sister made you a good boy."
Sicily stroked Shal's head as she said so.
"Onii-chan..."
Shar laughed joyfully when he said so, “Nhihi.
That's just like Silver, isn't it?
"With me?"
"Yeah. Silver was telling me when Charles was still hungry, 'I'm going to be on my own.'"
"That's right."
"Yeah, I don't remember..."
Silver said with a puzzled look as he and Aug nostalgically missed the silver at the time.
Well, silver was small, of course.
When she stroked Silver's head, Sicily stroked Silver's head as well.
"But even if Silver doesn't remember, Silver protected Shal as Shal's brother." Mom is so proud of that silver. Isn't Charles your big brother? "
I hate it!!
Wow!
Silver, hugged by Shal, fell towards me.
Oops.
"Oh, thanks, Dad."
You're welcome.
When I said that, I held up the Charles stuck to the silver and sat down next to Sisily.
"Passu!"
"Ah, Dad, I'm embarrassed..."
Ufufu
Innocent and joyful, Shal and Silver are ashamed to be embraced by their father in elementary school.
Sisily smiles at us like that.
Yeah, I'm happy.
At that time, I noticed something about the Aug that I was looking at with the same smile as Sicily.
What? Shin, what's that pendant on Silver's neck?
"Huh? Oh, it's a defensive magic tool." The same one I gave to Ellie a long time ago. "
"Oh, yeah. By the way, Ellie's pregnant again, so she's still holding it."
Speaking of which, Ellie conceived her second child.
It's only about half a year now, so my stomach is gradually starting to stand out.
"That's right." Is the magic power of Magic Stone still okay? "
"I checked. There was no problem, but I've exchanged magic stones just in case."
Since the start of the trade with Kwanlong, a large quantity of magic stones has been imported.
As a result, the price of magic stones has dropped significantly, and they can be handled in the city's workshops.
"I made a few improvements to that." I can expand it from time to time by using my own magic power. "
When I said that, Aug frowned.
“Why are you letting them hold that?”
That's right, it's for magic control training.
When I said that, Aug stood up from the sofa.
You!
It was an aug that tried to yell at me, but I stopped yelling when I saw Shal and Silver roll their eyes in amazement, and I was moved to the edge of the sofa with my arms around my neck.
At that time, Shal and Silver were sitting back on the sofa.
"Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"Kids are prone to magic rampages, aren't they?" It's okay, I didn't even tell you how to control magic power. "
"But right now, it's for magic control training....."
"This is to familiarize you with the magical power that is a prerequisite." Magic items can be used even if they don't have the qualities of a wizard. In other words, it reacts to a little magic power. From now on, I'm getting used to that magic power. "
"... to not let you run away"
“That's right, I don't feel good knowing that Silver is always looking at me with suspicion.”
Although it's different from the common sense in this world, when I was in junior high school, I wanted to find out if there were any magic wizard qualities in Silver, and if there were, I would teach magic control.
Silver is a child born of a devil's parents.
So far, I didn't see any signs of demonization, but I still didn't know what would happen when I woke up to my magic power.
What if you wake up to magic just like me?
What if I let you run out of control because you don't know anything?
I don't know what's going to happen, not to hurt myself.
I'm trying to get rid of a little of that uncertainty.
"Besides, I think that elementary school is safe, but I don't know what will happen when I go out of school." We should be prepared just in case. "
"That's true, but...."
Silver is the eldest son of the Wolfords.
My current title is Ultimate Magicians, president of the Wolford Chamber of Commerce, advisor to the Earlsheide Communications Corporation, and president of the automaker Wolby.
Since the development of the automobile was successful, I started a new company, but my father rejected the idea of leaving it to the bean workshop, and it became a joint venture between me and the bean workshop.
So we named each other 'Wolby'.
Oh, and the president of the Magical Valley Association.
Honestly, I am aware that I am a key figure in Earlsheide right now.
He is the eldest son of such a house.
Always on the brink of kidnapping.
In fact, I've been attacked several times.
At that time, the Ultimate Magicians' Lower Division, who were escorting Silver as part of their training, eliminated it, but it doesn't always work.
We should be prepared for that.
"Silver told me not to try to use magic until I taught him." Silver is a wise boy. I know that children can cause runaway accidents when they try to use magic on their own. Don't worry about it. "
"I see... but are you prepared for anything?"
Be prepared in the unlikely event of an accident.
That is, if the magic power of Silver runs rampant and becomes a demon, stop it with my hand.
That is...
"... yeah, but I won't let you."
I looked at Aug with determination.
That Augg who saw my eyes, looked me in the eye for a while, and then grinned.
"If you're ready to go that far, that's fine." Please do your best. "
The Augs patted me on the shoulder and returned to my seat.
Looking at us like that, Charlie was leaning his neck.
Is it all right if you don't have a grandmother?
……
Wait a minute.
Shar's good friendship means you're good friends, right?
You don't imagine weird company, like Ellie's joking, do you?
"Dad and uncle have been friends for a long time, Charles."
Snuggle up, huh?
No!!
Damn it!
Shal is a strange misunderstanding at this age!?
This must be corrected as soon as possible!
Then, Aug and I tried our best to convince Shal and finally understand that Shal and Via are as good friends as they are good friends.
Hmm... I was able to pick a rotting bud that was about to sprout.
Sicily laughed all the time as she watched us relieve.
Oh, I wish these calm days would last forever.
