Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 40 - Returning Early
I left the village exasperated, but returned in about half a month. It was a little bumpy, but everyone in the village welcomed me, starting with Mom and Dad. I knew I was born and raised in a good home.
In fact, because the demon stone sold at an unexpectedly high price in the city, my father and mother also pleaded with the village chief to free them from slavery, but they had refused for two reasons.
For one thing, the reason is that even if I give money for emancipation, the owner will just change, and it won't be emancipation from slavery. The slave covenant is governed by the law and the god of commerce by the covenant crest. Because of this, it seems that liberation is difficult outside of self-buying, which is a condition of liberation. And that doesn't change even if the chief obedient is a parent or a child. God is not accommodating.
The other is a matter of taxes. Now that we are all slaves to the village chief, that tax is paid by the village chief. Slave taxes are at the discretion of the Lords, but five large silver coins per person per year are the market price. When this becomes the average person, it becomes one large annual coin. That's a lot of money. Moreover, there is little cash income in the pioneering village, so it is difficult to pay the tax itself. And if tax arrears continue, they fall into debt slavery. It's Ami the Original Tree. So if the village grows a little bigger and is officially recognized as the village chief's territory, that's when he concedes the fields and frees everyone from slavery. That way, the tax amount can be determined at the discretion of the village chief, who is the lord, so tax arrears occur and are hard. If that's the case, I can't help it.
That's why we can't free ourselves from slavery now. Forgive me, Father, Mother.
Me and Cristella decided to stay in the village for a while. The village chief asked me to teach the villagers how to strengthen themselves. Period is until an angel arrives from the Wang capital and the village chief sets out. The village chief can teach because he can also use physical enhancement, but for the reason that he is going to be busy for a while in preparation for his mission, I am going to teach. Likewise, both parents can use physical enhancement, but these two are removed from the teaching candidate because they are not suitable to teach people because they are sensationalists. I don't know.
It's not just a request to the adventurer, it's a request from the village chief to the villagers. So it doesn't violate the terms of the Adventurer Guild that 'you shouldn't be asked not to go through the Guild'. I don't even have money to give or take.
I don't know what to say in lieu of that, but my clothing and accommodation during my stay is long lasting in the village. I'm supposed to get more than two more rations for sleeping parents.
Originally a village unrelated to famine, the surplus food is placed to acquire foreign currency and cannot be saturated. This time, a large amount of foreign currency was acquired by Demon Stone, so I guess there is no problem in releasing a little bit of placement.
"Sir, ma'am, I'll be the first to see you. My name is Cristella and I have been served to Master Beat. Thank you for your continued support.
"Oh, hey Glenn... isn't that so hard to say! It's just a beat!
"Stop being your wife! Hey, it's just a farmer's wife! Call me Saffron!
It's my first meeting with Cristela and my parents. My dad and I met each other when we got off the plane. I have to say hello properly because I'm going to be in trouble for a while to come. I'm already an independent social worker, and greeting is important.
"Well, there's a lot going on. They were sold as slaves even though they were competent, so I decided to buy them up and have them adventure with me. I'll take care of you for a while, but nice to meet you.
"Slave!? Aren't you some lady!? Hey, I thought you'd been watching my wife in the city!
"No, my father-in-law, that's after I was freed from slavery! I'm just slowly growing love now!
"Yes!? When did you and I get along like that? It's my first ear!?
Before I knew it, the future was about to be decided! Because I haven't thought about that yet! Because it's too early! Don't talk like that certainty!?
"Dear Beat, it is not uncommon among nobles to marry in single-digits of age. Of course, it's the difference between the ages of 10 and 20. Compared to that, there were only minor walls of identity between us: slaves and civilians.
What a fact! Was this country Lorishota Heaven!
Like, I tried to be surprised at the exaggeration, but on second thought, it might be natural. Anyway, this country is a feudal society. It is a world in which nobility seeks, as a matter of course, political marriage in order to strengthen its power. It would also be Zara that her fiancée could decide as soon as she was born. If you do poorly, it may have been decided before you were born.
It's not unusual. It was a normal thing to do in Japan during the Warring States. On the contrary, even civilians should have gone to their daughter-in-law or totuggino until about Meiji to be 10 years old. Even Japan, a country governed by the rule of law, did not have the idea of protecting minors until modern times. Then it is not surprising that this country in this world, roughly the Middle Ages, does not have such a mindset. YES lolita, GO touch? Oh, my God.
"Because I'm a civilian! Because you're not noble!?
"It's only a matter of time, too. If you are a Beat, you will be raised to the Adventurer Rank immediately.
Well, that's certainly not a goal. But it shouldn't happen right away. If it's that easy to be a nobleman, there must be many more to be recited.
"It's always been about the future! Until then this story is nasi, like!?
"Hmm, you can't help it. Well, fine. It's not all bad to have time. I'll be there in no hurry.
In the meantime, I could send it forward. Over time, Kristella might be changing her mind.
Because of this child's body, I don't have a strong desire for love or carnal desire right now. Even though I'm mentally Osama, all I want to do is eat, sleep, and play. You look like a child... but you're not dead anymore, are you?
Cristella is the only former Marquis family lady and seems to have a pretty aristocratic mindset when it comes to marriage. I guess that's what I've been educated as an advanced nobleman. No, I'm being disengaged once, so maybe I'm never going to miss another opportunity. Now, Kristella's eyes are like those of a hunter. Hey, no, I'm pretty scared!?
"Then you can do whatever you want with us while you're in the village. Beat, take good care of yourself.
"Yeah, thanks!
So will you relax in the village for a while?
◇
Then for a while, I let him really relax.
We all have farm work in the morning, so we can't train. So I decided to hunt only two demons a day in the Great Forest. Just the amount of meat consumed in the village. I'll take the magic stone and the material. It doesn't seem very relaxing, but until a while ago, I was hunting dozens of them a day. This degree does not even amount to exercise. I'm still anxious to take you with me, so I'm asking Cristella to leave a message.
We'll train everyone this afternoon. Nearly all villagers, except the women doing the housework, are covered. Some of them include children who have just come to the village.
First, clap your hands around each Tanda and let the magic flow just a little bit. To make people remember what magic feels like. I was a little embarrassed to put my hand around a woman's navel, but it must be training. I can't help it.
Afterwards, you will be trained to feel your own magic. I have little time for this. So I'm expanding my library by creating things with planar magic. They range from practical items to playthings. Some things I've made on a pretty bad ride, but I'll have a chance to use them someday. Maybe.
Cristella can already feel the magic, so she's been trained to work it out and get it across to her body. I'm used to concentrating magic on my eyes, but I'm having a hard time moving them to other parts of the world. When I can do this, I need you to be able to do the same thing while moving your body next. It could be a long way to go.
In about five days of training, several people, including Mr. Dent and Mr. Sage, could feel their magic. Several of them were asked to move to training in refinement and mobility. With more people able to manipulate magic, I can continue my training even when I'm gone. I mean, I'm almost done at this point. My shoulder was loaded.
I thought maybe someone could use magic, but so far no one has been able to express magic. I know there are other conditions besides being able to manipulate magic, but I don't know what that is. A mystery.
Cristella is still folding with magic moves all over her body. My father and the village chief were suddenly made. Well, those people are real cheats, so maybe it's wrong to compare them. If you keep going, you'll be able to do it one of these days.
And on the twelfth day after returning to the village, an angel finally came from the king's capital. War begins.
