The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Episode 3: A turning point encounter

Then, for three weeks, I dawned on my predominantly slime opponents to train in the Ancient Forest.

――――――――――――――――

In short, if you rub your muscles, your muscle strength increases, and if you take damage frequently (hiccups), your endurance increases. Run around and you'll be more agile. It would be such a law.

The high rate of increase in magic is due to wanting to master the [Fireball (Fireball)] quickly and magically attacking the slime all over again.

Thanks to this, [Fireball] became a master class.

――――――――――――――――

○ Technical name: [Fireball (Fireball)] - Master Class

○ Description: Fly the sphere of flame. Hit correction available.

○ Spell: Chant Discard

○ Rank: Lower

――――――――――――――――

It becomes a master class, chanting is omitted and, in addition, power and range are greatly enhanced, as well as hit correction. I see, even if it's a completely different magic, it can't be different.

And today I got a new book of magic - the magic of the wind system - the wind blade (windcutter).

The ingredients are 20 H-rank Demon Stones and Windstones. Windstone was a wind wizard and was in the possession of a gray-haired butler, Sebastian. Anything, along with firestones, seems to be one of the common demonic props. It's painful to sweeten Sebastian any more than it is to boulder. I have to think of a thank you.

In any case, the [wind blade (wind cutter)] guide was as follows.

――――――――――――――――

○ Technical name: [Windblade (Windcutter)]

○ Description: Fly the wind blade.

○ Spell: Blade of the wind, gather in my hand and be a force.

○ Rank: Lower

○ Proficiency to master: 0/100%

――――――――――――――――

Go to Ancient Forest. Slime hunting, not today. Today, I want to do something.

In other words, it is the discovery of new hunting targets. The Ancient Forest is a paradise of demons, with mountains of ingredients. I'm getting tired of crusading the slime, and I thought it was time to hunt for creatures that could serve as ingredients.

Besides, pedestrians are currently coming to Mirage for business. And they're staying for a couple of days, so I don't have a hand in not using this.

In the circular ring region, as I carefully (perch) checked and proceeded to the end of the forest, I discovered a bright red giant ray - an aluminum large.

――――――――――――――――

M Aluminum Large

――――――――――――――――

Strong. Digits are different from slimes. But magic endurance is low, and I don't think it's an enemy you can't defeat. If [Fireball] comes off, let's get away with it immediately.

Aluminum Large - Transfers to the tree behind the mutant and releases the [Fireball] from behind, through its head and eyes.

Aluminum Large tries to avoid a sphere of flame that is as fast and approaching as a soccer ball by jumping (ha) at right angles to the side, but the sphere also unnaturally flexes (stirs) and burns out (one) head in an instant. Ashes (yes) and the torso (what do you think) of M aluminum Large, who lost his head, fell to the ground in a rush.

In the meantime, we can take out the demon stones and dismantle the meat later. Now let's throw it in the item box.

Then, for two days, he walks wandering through the woods, hunting fifteen aluminum larges, two or three giant pigs - two or three big bores, and one or six giant birds - Red Fezants. By the way, the M aluminum large was one of those and the rest was just aluminum large in white.

Furthermore, in circular ring areas, edible mushrooms, weeds and nuts are discovered and collected.

It then moves to the slime-emerging area, where it collects demonic stones from the corpse and cuts out the meat.

Quite a lot. The only Demon Stone is the M aluminum Large, the G-ranked Demon Stone of the mutant system, and all the others are G-ranked without attributes. Shall I try and sell this demon stone?

Mirage's only inn, the Sazanami Pavilion, is two floors long, and the ground floor also serves as a dining room for residents and travellers.

The merchant was wearing clothes that were rarely tailored in this territory, so I immediately found out.

Beautiful neutral appearance like a woman with blue hair like penetration. Slightly fishy, but it also added to the appeal of the youth. It would be hot for your wife.

Maybe he's a pedestrian who visits this Mirage only three times a year.

"Boy, what can I do for you?

"I have something I want you to buy away"

"I don't mind. Which one?"

In advance, place cloth bags on the table with only some ingredients and demonic stones.

"Heh, are you using it? That's great."

With a face like love, she opens the bag and peeks in, but the color of her eyes changes instantly.

The young man grabs the magic stone of the M aluminum large and turns around from various angles. For a while, I've been observing, but when I exhale loudly, I place a cottish demonic stone on the table.

"Boy, where did you get this demon stone?

"Trapped ravens around this village."

"That's a lie. This is a mutant species of aluminum large (mutant) -M aluminum large. G + rate, so it's a substitute you can't defeat unless you're an adventurer with a plate. At least not in a trap."

Shit. This reaction is unexpected. Explain that you picked it up or... No, I've already stated that you've been trapped. Worst of all, if I were to be blown away for stealing, I would be exploited by those ugly brothers, and I would be sent to the reflection room.

"Okay. Let me show you why. Follow me."

Put the magic stone in the cloth bag and exit the Inn - Sazanami Pavilion.

I am quite alert, but it seems that I am following the child properly.

An unpopular cabin in the corner of the village. Therefore, after setting the destination to "Ancient Forest", grab the young man's right sleeve and start the transfer.

"This..."

A blue-haired young man who is losing his words to the circle of light that arises at his feet.

The scenery is distorted and successfully transferred to the Ancient Forest.

"To?"

A young man with blue hair who looks around him, finds out he's in a dense forest, and makes his cheeks (cheeks) cramp.

"This is, for once, the Ancient Forest, but now it's safe because there are no demons around it."

"Oh, oh."

Then, perform some magic on the youth and serve demonic meat, mountain vegetables and fruits out of the item box.

"You surprise me. I didn't expect to be able to patrol such a talent in such a peripheral land."

A tense, blue-haired young man has pleaded (cancer) and is currently attached to an evening snack in the dining room on the first floor of an earlier inn.

(Gilles, not really, loudly...)

Whisper to the youth - Gilles Carreras...

"Uh, sorry, you did, haha!"

Damn, you don't understand. However, the meat of the demon sold for 500G (gold) in total. The Magic Stone is that M aluminum Large is a mutant species and was quite precious (kiko), with 400,000 G (gold) and 20,000 G (gold) for all the other Magic Stones.

If the magic stone of M aluminum large is valuable, it was also smart not to sell it, but here I thought it was more important to build a relationship with the merchant and decided to sell it as it was.

"I've never been out of this mirage yet, but what is the 42,000 G (gold) I earned worth?

To be independent (definitely), it's information you need to know.

"Ten thousand g (gold) is one gold coin. Gold coins, four or two. That's expensive. The average family of four civilians in the Imperial City consumes G (gold) in one day is said to be 500. I mean -"

"Do you understand the 80th and 40th?"

"Heh, can you even do arithmetic? Really, it's a shame to be the owner of such a remote territory."

Again, am I mistaken? What can use magic in this empire rises in rank between nature and the inheritance of the Lord. Even in the Millard family, my second son Cliff, who can use magic, is so much in charge of the next term, aside from his oldest.

"I'm not in charge of the next term. Or when you're thirteen, you're expelled from the land. This money is going to be used to fund future standings."

"Release you?"

Raising his barbaric voice, Gilles frowned and gazed at my face.

"Yes, that's why I'm desperate, too."

"Lies don't look like they are...? I don't think the Millards are sane either.

Has a rare ability (skill) to transfer to a storage capacity (skill) that has a cod (bullshit) function. Moreover, even though it is a primary [fireball], it is a source of laughter from the nobles of the Imperial capital, such as releasing chant destroyers to the outside world. "

"Is chant discarding that rare?

Utterly, I thought anyone who trains could reach chant discards. Therefore, more prudent action is required in the future.

"That's unusual. When it comes to [Fireball], you're in court magician class."

I was badly admitted to spending the rest of my life in a place like this with such a chunk of discriminationism. Magic will be lucky to keep others from knowing as much as they can.

"Mr. Gilles, this..."

"I know. I don't want to lose the customer I found. [M] I won't tell anyone."

"Thank you."

I bowed my head deeply.

Then, after two hours of listening to Gilles about the city and the world outside this territory, it opens.

Gilles is the base of activity in the labyrinth city of Straheim, northwest of the territory. It's a big city with a population of 100,000.

There seems to be an Adventurer's Guild, a stopover for adventurers who believe in defeating demons, and a Commercial Guild, a stopover for merchants. Most importantly, when there was a library where I was thirsty.

(i) After the age of thirteen, it should be my goal to live in this city. Anyway, I still have four or five years, and I'm going to do it slowly.

Say goodbye to Gilles and return to the mansion.

The overprotective Aqua traveled to Straheim last week to take a Magic Instruction class. This seems to be like a so-called preparatory school for admission to the Imperial Demonic Knights College. Teachers seem to be top adventurers, a few elite (blame), and taught. Regardless, extrajudicial (better) money is usually required to enter this classroom, but we do not have such surplus funds in the Millard family. Aqua apparently passed the exam brilliantly and earned tuition free privileged student status.

Therefore, there is no Aqua, and no one is going to draw attention to my actions. Exquisite (at best), I'll let you like it.

When I entered the mansion, I ran into an uncomfortable child. It's just a depressing pottery like a fly flying around a boom.

"I didn't know you wanted to play late this evening. You look great."

The blonde little boy - Cliff Millard - comes up with such unusual words with an unpleasant grin.

My body is only, like, eight. I think it's only natural that I'm playing. Instead, I'd like to ask you, were you laboring at this age?

Cliff, now one or two years old, is the next head of the Millard family. He seems to be such a prodigy that he has already mastered some magic and is said to be sure that he will be admitted to the Imperial Demonic Knights College Middle Department next year.

I don't know why, but every time something happens to this boy, he calls me.

"Ha."

I'm not as hungry (kid) as I get angry with the kid in this hand one at a time. However, by rule of thumb, when I talk too much, I mostly piss them off. The mouth is the source of evil. It would be auspicious to talk.

"Just about rice! If you have any conscience at all, I'd like you to bring me one of the nuts. Even you, incompetent, is that possible?

Hmm, right. Looks like my position would improve slightly if I put food in the house.

Indeed, what is served in this mansion is white bread with no flavor whatsoever and soup with unsalted vegetables and a small amount of meat. What this is put out to everyone. Here, for families other than me, there is grilled meat, fruit and mountain vegetables. As soon as Aqua left, it became such a discriminatory contribution

Most importantly, bread and soup alone would be quite wealthy compared to the rest of the people, and if I said luxury (absolutely), I would be punished.

Anyway, if it's in my interest too, I might be able to think about securing ingredients in the future.

"Hmm, roger that."

Raise your right hand gently and you'll go up the stairs.

Cliff also disappeared into the living room when he pounded his tongue.
