Price of Management

I am Baron Kunt's third son, Caroc.

Samnam.

And the resurrection of a concubine.

Of course, the two brothers who were different from my father did not discriminate against me. I also have no complaints about where I'm from. How fortunate to be born a nobleman.

But I had a complaint to myself.

He has no right to inherit anything because he is a bastard.

I did not become a knight because I did not have the talent for errors.

I didn't become a wizard because I didn't have the talent for Mana.

I did not become a priest because I did not worship God.

It means life without a word or a damn word.

On the day I became an adult on my eighteenth birthday, I had to leave my family and become independent. I was the only one left in my family who was neither a knight nor a wizard nor a priest.

My father told me that leaving my family gave me 1,500 Redina (gold coins of the Kingdom of Leaden).

“You are neither a knight nor a wizard nor a priest, but you are not foolish enough to be a merchant. ”

He was absolutely right.

I became a grain merchant. It was because what we needed most was food.

As a young child merchant, I became more ambitious of becoming a successful merchant than anyone else. At the time, I didn't want to admit that I didn't have any talent.

I was mistaken that I could be a great man instead of a knight or a wizard or a priest.

I had to suffer many failures and frustrations in haste to make a big profit. It was only after I saw the big bitter taste that I realized. I'm just an ordinary human being with no extraordinary superiority.

Fortunately, I was not a giant timber, but I didn't even have a master.

Having forsaken my greed and admitted that I am an ordinary human being, as a merchant, I became stable. He consistently called the asset by reducing risk without seeking excessive profit. Every failed experience of youth has become bones and flesh.

As I got older, I became a fairly skilled merchant. I've become considered a merchant of 20 in the Kingdom of Leaden. Of course, the Kingdom of Leaden was a small country, and according to the whole continent, I was just a merchant, but I was satisfied. Because I admit I'm not special.

Hypothetically, I was a failed household.

When I was twenty years old, I took the nobleman's spirit to be my wife. I married coldly because I was the daughter of a decent family and also looked pretty.

But she was overwhelmed with words.

My wife who grew up in a good family enjoyed more luxury than I made. I could not bear the vanity and high nostrils.

My son Nemi, who was born after three years of being married hypothetically, was also arrogant and obstinate because he resembled her.

Eventually, she gave out divorce papers and went to her parents, and the son said, "I hate it because my father is horrible and ugly. ’I followed my mother.

I'm not just any ordinary person. I can't believe I didn't manage my own family properly. I lost my family at the time, and I was deeply hurt.

Then I stumbled upon a Spirit Master.

Spirits were much rarer than wizards.

The animist looked at me and told me that he was talented in animosity.

At that, I opened my eyes.

"I can be a spirit? ’

That means I have a gift.

I asked him how to become a Spirit. The spirit made a mess and stopped me.

He said:

“One in 10,000 people with spiritual affinity. You may not be rich, but you certainly have a spiritual affinity. ”

“So what's the problem? ”

“Spirit Affinity is innate, but if you don't contract with a Spirit, it will gradually fade away as you get older. You weren't born with much spirit friendliness in the first place, and you're old. ”

“But that's not very unlikely, is it? So let's give it a try. ”

“It costs a lot to draw Spirit Contract Wizards, but are you sure you're okay? ”

“It doesn't matter.”

“I can't do that. Let me teach you how to contract with a Spirit. Don't blame me if I fail. ”

“Of course.”

What was not one particular life was my biggest complex. I humbly accepted that, but my desire to be special again after being abandoned by my wife and son.

I paid a lot of money to draw the Spirit Contract Wizard, just as the Spirit taught me.

“O great spirit of the natural world, answer the call of my soul. ”

The spell flashes a bright light through the magic circle.

I was reluctant to expect it.

But the light went out.

The sorcerer disappears silently, as if nothing had happened.

Failure. It was as the spirit warned it would not answer the call if it lacked spiritual affinity.

I've been demolished.

I wish I'd realized my talents a little earlier.

If I had known that I was spiritually friendly when I was younger, I would have become a spirit. Then he would have been able to remain a member of the family.

This is destiny, too.

I've spent my life abandoning all stubbornness.

The rest of my life was reasonably satisfying. Experienced in running the merchant guild based on long offsetting experience. He was wealthy and gave to the poor. I have a lot of people who respect me as much as they do.

I realized that obsession was useless when I was old. The things that were special and ordinary were useless standards. In his life, he was more special than anyone else.

Even after I retired from offsetting, I lived giving it to others.

Out of obsession and suffering, my body and mind also became healthy.

I was 90 years old at the end of my life.

I sat on the rocking chair, warming myself in the sun, and felt death rushing in like a slumber. I closed my eyes and conformed to my destiny, intuitive of death.

I embraced death like a deep slumber. Thinking it was a decent life.

----------------

If God asks me for a wish, I will say it firmly.

Just let me die like this. I'm so comfortable right now.

I was sleepy as if I were falling asleep. I guess this is how comforting it is to be dead.

Ah, I love it.

Shake.

“Duke!"

Who is it? Waving me around. Just leave me alone.

“Duke! Duke Carrock! Do you even know what time it is? ”

Someone rocked me hard.

What the hell? A rude woman shaking this old man around.

But why does his voice sound so familiar?

“Hnng... ”

Only then did I open my eyes. The dazzling sunlight troubled my eyes.

Hmm? Is this heaven or hell?

However, there is a face that I have seen a lot. A woman who squeezes her arms together and tries to shoot intimidatingly.

Oh, my god.

I saw Betty's nanny who used to take care of me when I was a child. Sunburnt, chaotic skin and that glorious figure. I haven't seen her since I was eighteen years old.

I can't believe you still remember people decades ago. My memory, it's still working.

Is this heaven, by the way? I hope so.

I opened my mouth in a dazzling sensation because I was still awake.

“Hey, 72 years, Nanny Betty. ”

I truly greeted the nanny Betty in decades.

Yeah, it's been a long time. Betty was like a mother to me after losing her mother so early.

“I beg your pardon?”

But her eyes frown. What, you didn't like my greeting? You should have given me a hug.

“Is this heaven or hell? Ah, it must be heaven with Betty's nanny. You haven't committed a crime without seeing it, have you? ”

“Now I have to make a mistake. ”

And then Betty slapped me on the back.

“Ow!”

I woke up startled. My back is burning hot and sore.

“W-what are you doing, to an old man! ”

No matter how nanny you are, you're too mean!

“…… I see. Look at the old man's face. ”

Nanny Betty reaches out the mirror.

My face in the mirror...

“What, what? ”

The frightened blue young man's face flashes in the mirror.

Dark brown hair down to the shoulders. Blue eyes, as confident as they are. White skin with no fine lines.

The 90-year-old was nowhere and I was 18 years old.

This meant only one thing!

“Wow! Amazing! Is this a service from heaven? Thank God! ”

You'll be young when you come to heaven! Oh, great!

“Ha.”

But the nanny was sighing.

“Why don't you stop sleepwalking? Today is the day that Confucius Carroc leaves his family. ”

“…… Huh? ”

What did you just say, Nanny?

“No, no, no! Starting today, you're an eighteen year old man! You yourself declared that you would be free when you grew up. ”

Boom!

I felt like I was hit in the head with a hammer. I even felt like my mind was blowing off somewhere beyond that universe.

What the hell is going on?

Wasn't this heaven?

Was it all a dream?

90 years of your life was all a dream?

“No way……. ”

It's too vivid to be a dream!

Over the past 90 years, I have been through a lot and have become that mentally mature. Where in the world is this dream of detail?

I sat there dazed for a moment.
