Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

Third Citizen's Square. This is one of the civic squares that was systematically arranged when the King's City was built.

This place is not the center of the King's City like the Central Square, but a place of rest like the [park] in the man's world that has been set up everywhere in the King's City.In the middle of the square, children run around, housewives in the neighborhood enjoy conversations, and the leisurely elderly play a board game called chess.

On this day, as usual, Arcs and Suu will have a magical study party together.It is not the chairs and tables of the café that line up, but the stools made of stone.

I had already finished my studies for today, and I was in the middle of a rubbish story - and someday it was Arks' story.

Born to the first son of the Vicomte, now learning magic under Crave.

Of course, the story goes beyond being abandoned.

Anyway, when I heard that, Su looked and roared with a difficult face.

Rugged eyes open and narrow.

I see. I was removed from the trail..... "

"Oh, and I hate it terribly."

As for that, I can only sigh now.

If my parents don't have a good place to live, they'll scold me and beat me up.In a man's world, it was a case of being arrested for child abuse.

Basically, I try to avoid it now, and because there is Noah, my parents can't come forward and be strong, so it stays to the point of being ignored... but there are no shards of health.

Sue frowned and leaned her neck.

"But what do you mean, abandoned because of the low amount of magic?You don't usually do that, do you?

"Just think about it normally.But I can't because the magic didn't meet House Rayseft's standards. "

"As far as I know, I don't think Arcs is the same as a normal magician...."

Yes, it is true that the magic amount of Arcs is generally normal.There are not many magicians in government who have less magic than Arcs.

In the first place, magic is just one talent in this world.Magic, in addition to magic and spells, requires understanding and image of magic, so it is a professional technician and cannot be used just by remembering spells.

This is also evident from the amount of magic injected.

Anyway, about the magic amount of Arks,

"The blood of the House of Rayseft... in a noble neighborhood, it seems there are fewer of them."

"That's kind of annoying, too.The magic of your ancestors was so high that you would encounter such a thing. "

"Absolutely. Thanks to you, I've been struggling."

She sighs a lot more than once.Somehow, the stories on my face were becoming stupid.

"So why is Arks still studying magic?

Hmm?

"I mean, it's not a trail anymore, is it?Then you had a choice not to be a wizard.

Um...

"I'd rather hate it.Why didn't you?

... it is true that Suu is right, there is a possibility that you will hate the existence of magic and magic masters.This magic has taken a terrible toll on me.Technically speaking, even if you hate magic, it's a normal reaction.

But...

"Well, I'm going to give you a name as a wizard and give you back....."

To be honest with you, Sue burst out.

"It's kind of childish."

"You look like a child. You don't have any children."

I don't know what to say to this girl.Su laughs and apologizes when she displays a slight mood.

"Sorry, sorry. Because there was no twist."

"... after all, it's not good to give back."

So far, we have made it our number one goal.However, in return, I did not think that it might end up being vain.

You get a lot of power, you get it.From the side, it might even look like he doesn't like it.Can you say that it is a good thing to be such a person?Will you fall to the same level when you do that?

With that in mind, Su turns around and shows a serious expression.

It's that quiet expression that makes you feel somewhere dignified, like you showed it when you confronted a grabbing man.

And then...

"That's not true.I think I'm much better than teasing you and doing nothing.Whatever the reason, we're moving forward.I'm standing up to it. If it were true, Arks could have escaped, right?

"Running away...."

"Yes, rely on your uncle to get away from people you don't like.But Arcs didn't do that.I'm trying to train myself and confront them.That's amazing. "

... maybe so.I should have had the option not to sell my parents a fight, not to study hard, but simply to turn my eyes and go the easy way.But I didn't do it.I chose a path to face the ultimate child, my parents, and I scratched my feet to break the status quo.

It may be difficult to say goodness, but it may be constructive.If it is constructive, it can be said to be a step forward.

"... I see."

"Yes, it is."

Soon her expression returned to its usual softness, from a quiet one.

"But isn't it a small goal to just give back?

Small?

"Yeah, I guess dreams and goals are better.

Target. They say so, but they don't come around much.

Then,

"After I give it back.Besides, if we don't think about what happens afterwards, maybe we won't know what to do after we give it back?

Ahhh...

Su's words finally met.In short, she wants to say that she will burn out after she has finished.

But it does make sense.Talk about losing sight of goals after completing difficult goals.For example, friends who gained experience in chasing a man's life also studied hard day and night to pass a national university, and finally passed with their own thoughts, and then became impatient.

It's not that I don't either.Especially if it is a goal set with anger or remorse, it is more likely that it will happen.And with all my energy and all my confusion, I can't look around and be left behind after I've achieved my purpose.

Avoiding that future may require a big goal.

"But I don't know... it's a goal."

What do you want? A goal I can't say more about myself.

"The Master of the Nation?

I came up with a qualification that my uncle also has.The highest difficulty Nightmare qualification with only eleven people in Japan.Aiming to acquire it can be said to be a big goal.

But Su doesn't seem convinced.

"Hmm, isn't it a little enough to make it a big goal?

"No, there's not enough Master of the Nation."

"But if you're an Arks, you're going to be like the Master of the Nation soon.

No, no, no, no.

On what grounds did you come to such an answer?I didn't know you could get the highest level of difficulty in Japan right away.

Even if the person asks a question, Sue starts talking about it as if she believed it or as if she was convinced.

"Life's goal must be the biggest. Isn't it interesting?How about a general or a superior aristocrat?

"That would be futile...."

A general is unlikely when he is made, but a superior nobleman is too futile for anything.The current superior aristocracy is almost the same as those who have gained their current status from generations, those who have great combat power have been given the throne of the king and integrated into the country, royalties of other countries, etc.

If we are to make it in a generation, we will not be able to do so unless we set our sights on an incredible feat.

I don't think so, but Sue seems to have finished with it.

"Yeah, that's good.That's good. Aim for a position where no one can make a sound.I think it would be better if you were so rude. "

"I don't think I can do that."

Though Su leaked such a word, she bragged somehow.

"It's okay. Onee-san can guarantee that Arcs is amazing."

"Mm... oneesan's only one year old."

Yes, as I learned recently, Sue was about one year older.

And since it turns out, this is how the old wind blows from time to time.

I'm a year old.

I complain every time, but Sue won't give up.I'm a little angry.

"Anyway, Arcs wants to be something really great about it."

"Okay. I'll try my best."

"Yeah, I'll cheer you up. Good luck."

When Su told me, I somehow felt like trying my best.Is this also because of her virtue?However, there is a common purpose around here.

I haven't thought about what I'm going to do to be great, but eventually I'll think about what I want to do with nature.

"If you're going to be great, don't miss your chance.When I find the opportunity, I have to insist greedily. "

I don't think it's an eight-year-old word.

"Uuuuuuuuu!I'm more of a sister than Arcs!

"Yes, yes."

"By the way, how's Sue?

"Me?"

"Does Su want to do something in the future?

"I have one, too.

"That's..."

Yeah, I...

Finally, the harsh atmosphere just now returns to Suu.

"... I want to make this country strong.You can't beat any country, you can be strong. "

Huh?

"The Kingdom has always been threatened by the Empire.No, not just the Empire.The same goes for the barbarians in the eastern Cross Mountains and the southern maritime states.As soon as I put my head out, I hit it and lowered my national strength.Start a war or trigger the rise of nobles and independent monarchs from within.So... "

…………

Her words have will.Strong will. There was certainly a desire to make this country truly stronger, not just a saying.

After all, is it because of the noble children that you dream of such a dream?

Are you thinking about this at this age?Growing up... No, I was a little surprised by the hopes that grown-ups rarely have, but maybe she's more grown-up than I thought.

It is a country of grief. This is close to the will of the country of grief.

I'm anxious and dissatisfied with the current situation, and I want incredible change.

"I can't believe it!

"Is Suu really a tough guy?If you want to strengthen your country, you don't think you've been badly hit by other countries, do you?

"Well, I guess I've never had such a hard time...?

……

I don't know. But I do think that some of the words were even closer to wisdom.

Make this country stronger.Otherwise, they will succumb to external pressure and be swallowed by the great powers.

While talking about such things, I remember a lot of important stories.

"And I forgot this."

That's what I took out and showed you: the invention, the magic gauge.

"... what is this?

"What do you think?

Don't just say retaliation for the older wind, but show a fake smile.

It's a little trick not to tell me what this is right away.

On the other hand, Suu turned the magic gauge upside down and looked at it from various directions.

"Hmm. Take it off this wooden frame and stick it in my asshole...."

"Why is that?!

Why is this girl flying in a direction that makes no sense?Why do you think of the extremely dangerous act of putting a glass tube in such a place?

I don't know.

"So, what is this after all?

"It's a magic measuring instrument.The naming remains the same [Magic Meter].I don't accept complaints that there is no twist. "

"Phew...?

Suu stopped moving with a lost voice.

"No, that's why I measure magic."

"Well, well, well, what's wrong!?That's not true!?

"I made it."

"I made it....."

Su rounded her eyes and stared at the magic meter.Just now, I'm not surprised, I'm not making any noise.

Anyway, the other day, a very great man showed the reaction, so surprised it wasn't very fresh anymore.

Put your hand against the magic gauge and release the magic.

"Here, this is how you do your magic."

"Really... the red dots inside are moving..."

"This is roughly the amount used in the [Precautionary Movement]. Ten mana.Mana is the unit of magic. "

"Wow!

Su snuggles like a child who has got a new toy.But I can't make a fool of her reaction by being childish.If she were in her position, she would probably behave like this.

Phew, Su's gaze was turning towards something.Is that what you want?I've never seen her play with embarrassment before.

But...

"Ah, I'm so sorry to make you want something."

"Ah! I want it! I want it!

Did you realize that Sue couldn't get it? Both arms are bumpy.Start wasting time. I'm not convinced that oneesan will behave like this.

"No, it's not okay."

"But I don't think I'm a little bad at showing you off."

"Because if you keep quiet, why didn't you tell me?

You're right to say that.

"It's futile. I don't know what to do."

"Can you just give it to me?Give oneechan the magic gauge. "

"I can't do that."

Er, why?

"I'm going to announce this properly.That's why we can't inadvertently give it to someone. "

After hearing the explanation, Suu immediately swallowed it.

"Ah, yeah... that's right.It's necessary to make it happen. "

Is it going to be connected there?

Regardless, Su said that and pulled back lightly - but his hand didn't grab the magic gauge and let go.When I pulled lightly, she was caught and she was pulled.Apparently I'm not going to let you go.Turning to Jito, he smiled like a fool.

"... I won't give it to you."

Er...

"Because it's time to announce.You can use it with me now. "

"Really!? Gotcha!Thank you, Arcs! "

"Upu!

As soon as she was accommodated, Su jumped.

After all, you love magic.

Phew Phew Phew Phew

"That's why...."

In the end, the softness of the cheeks was also enjoyed on this day.
