Just to explain some stuff.

  Incomplete post

  In any event I cannot complete the chapter, I would post an incomplete chapter with the [Incomplete 00%] in the title. Do note these post are, duh, incomplete and not gone through once over by me yet. Which means they are in the rawest form apart from being in Japanese.

  For people who prefer completed post, do check back the next day as 99% of the time I would finished them as I dislike them hanging there.

  Reason? I type directly in word press so leaving the uncompleted post in drafts makes me jittery.

  Spoilers

  Please do not post spoilers.

  For people who cannot wait and ran ahead to read the Japanese raws, please do not post any spoilers in your comments. I do moderate comments but as I am reading at the same speed, you had just spoilt the excitement I have to translate the rest of the chapter.

  Though sometime I do spoil myself by reading the manga.

  Spells

  I would type the spells used in their original Kanji form as that’s what they are supposed to be. If you cannot read them, congrats, you are normal just every man in Elzmu. If you can read them, then you are most likely a cheating bastard like Will.

  Anywho, readings and meaning will be written beside and……isn’t it nice to learn something once in a while? Hehe.

  Editor : Poor_Hero

  TN: DIGEST CHAPTER. If you prefer to ready the main story, please ignore this as it would only be a recount in Miso-kun’s POV.

  Just to let you know, there will be another digest chapter after this before I get started on the next arc.

  And so sorry for delaying this for a day as I was hit by a combo of fever, flu and cough. And it seemed to be getting worse. orz……

  Changed Williams to William as Christopher Williams had commented. Thanks for that!

  Before I noticed it, it was morning. I seemed to have entered the dormitory without realizing it. I could vaguely remember ‘Kiro’, the dorm leader, leading me into a room……

  It appeared that this was going to be my room. Remi, my room mate, had told me that I would have to go to the cafeteria if I wanted breakfast. Reflexively, I gave my thanks. What a blunder! I think Father once said that a noble should not lower their head easily.

  After breakfast, I was dragged into the classroom by Remi and his friends. Why were they not lost in this maze of an academy? I wanted to go back to my room to retrieve the map I had forgotten and was guided by Remi, who did not even use one.

  But the way of pulling my wrist along was…… Ah, it can’t be helped since commoners did not know about etiquette……

  Wait…… I had a feeling I broke etiquette too……

  That’s right! I did an outrageous thing to the son of a Duke’s family! It was at this point when I finally remembered all that I had done.

  I had not even apologized…… What should I do?!

  As I was about to leave my seat in the classroom, Prof.Zelda entered the classroom, banging open the door. I lost my timing to escape.

  ” Good Morning! Well then, today would be the body checks I mentioned yesterday! Follow me! I had forgotten to mention, apart from the measurement of body weight, there would be a measurement of mana as well. ”


  And the classroom was drowned in cheers and moans. We then, as a group, walked down the corridor. Being blocked by a wall of classmates, I did not get to see off the child with silver hair ―――― William Beryl, who went out first.

  ◆


  I had been looking forward the the mana examination even before school start. I was lucky to have an above-average talent in swordsmanship but if I were to have a high amount of mana as well, I would be able to do anything. Like 《身体強化》magic. [TN: Karada shintai, Body strengthening] I could defeat all the demon beasts and get praised by Father! That’s why I was looking forward to it. Though I was feeling slightly uneasy as well.

  But now was not the time. I still had not apologized to William Beryl-sama yet. But what should I apologize? How do I apologize?

  William-sama seemed not to mind me one bit as he spoke with the curly-haired kid happily. As he did not introduce himself with his family name, our classmates may not know that he was a noble.

  But why?

  Even if I could not understand his reason for doing that, it would still be better to apologize to him first.

  As I worried about that matter, my mana examination was over. I had 20points above the average of 50, bringing it to 70 but now was not the time. When should I apologize?

  How to do it? Where to do it?

  Wait…… In that case, what about Father’s words? What did he mean?

  ” We are not commoners but the lord who governs over them――――――――Never forget this “


  He gave that advice to me while patting my head, before I set off. It should mean that even if we were only a country-side noble, we should not be looked down upon by the commoners in the academy. I should stand on the ruling side and face them with a firm attitude.

  But…… that……! Father did not teach me how to handle nobles that were of a higher rank!

  But Father had always said ‘When you are apologizing, know and understand the reason as to why and with an attitude of wanting to change, truly apologize from your heart.’. But I didn’t even know the reason and how I could change! I would only be doing a ‘pose’ if I were to apologize like this. I am surely going to get a harsh scolding from Father.

  Our family had only just gotten our position back and to think I did something like that to a Duke family!

  As I worried endlessly, it was William Beryl-sama’s turn. He looked afraid of the mana measuring tool. As he timidly reached for the magical tool and his fingers brushed against it……

  There was an accident!

  In that instant, the tool exploded into tiny pieces! Surprised, William-sama fell onto his backside and his honorable hand was bleeding!

  ” I am going to bring Will over to the infirmary! The rest of you just wait here silently, okay! ”


  Leaving only that to the panicking class, Prof.Zelda brought William-sama out.

  ◆


  In the end, William-sama did not return to the class for the rest of the day and I missed my timing to apologize again.

  I knew I had to apologize but as time dragged on, questions started swelling within me.

  What was the meaning of Father’s words?

  Father was amazing but William-sama’s father, Gion-sama was amazing too. That person must have also passed his words down to Willliam-sama before he left for the academy. But what was the behavior William-sama put on before the commoners? There must be a meaning to it.

  Father, please teach me how to handle people with a class above me!

  I feel like shouting with all the questions swirling inside. Even I know I cannot go on like this. Before I knew it, I had stopped walking and started running.

  ◆


  I knocked. My breathing was erratic and all over the place from running but I didn’t care about that right now. After a while, the door opened. And the one who appeared was William-sama.

  He, with his beautiful silver hair that was slightly messy, had a confused look on his face. He had every right to be. He could not have expected a fool would visit him at his room after going through that accident yesterday.

  When apologizing, one would have to understand the reason for doing that, truly reflected on it, as well as to improve on that mistake.

  Me, not knowing what to do, decided to visit William-sama. I was disappointed at myself.

  ” Please excuse me for visiting suddenly. Could you spare me some time? ”


  I stabilized my breathing and asked. William-sama did not get angry by my sudden visit but instead welcome me inside his room. When I entered, I saw the curly-haired commoner looking at me, shocked. I shifted my sight to a nook on the floor. So he was William-sama’s room mate.

  Resolving myself, I told William-sama everything. Even if I thought this was foolish, I would rather ask William-sama directly instead of confusing myself.

  I told him how my father’s words and how his action were confusing me.

  ” ……and that’s it. ”


  William-sama, showing not even one repulse expression, listened to me quietly till the end. What a kind person. And then, he nodded slightly and opened his mouth. That action looked just like what Father always did that I instinctively curled myself up and looked at him with respect. He had an adult-like presence.

  ” Did your father really say that? ”


  ” He did! ……I think. ”


  Questioned by William-sama, I suddenly got insecure about what I remembered and added that last part to my answer. With all the uneasiness pilling up inside of me, I can’t help but asked William-sama.

  ” Erm……Williams-sama, why did you do all that……? ”


  He looked at me and smiled. I stared dumbly at that angel-like smile.

  ” That was because I did nothing. ”


  ” ……Huh? ”


  The answer was so unexpected that I responded in an impolite tone. At this me, William-sama smiled wryly.

  ” Which mean, I had not yet done anything to support our people. The only amazing thing about me was my luck for being born into this house. Which was why, as I said before, in this academy, we are only students. Why would I go around acting superior when I am not doing anything? ”


  It was like I was struck by thunder by the smiling William-sama words.

  I see.

  I had only focused on Father’s ‘We are not commoners but the lord who govern over them.’ word ‘govern’. But the sentence was not about that.

  It was as William-sama had said. I see, I finally got it now. But what was the true meaning that Father wanted to convey to me? We were the ones being supported by the commoners so I should revere them? I had no idea what that last sentence meant.

  ” Is there any communication tool in your house? ”


  I must have an extremely confused expression because William-sama laughed and pulled out a magical tool and opened it.

  ◆


  My son, who was currently in the academy, contacted me.

  Within the communication tool ―― our house was a version which can send and receive letters ―― had a letter from my son addressed to me, surprising me. Being in-charge of the defense of the border, it was important that we, the Sociunnov Family, can communicate easily with the capital.

  According to the letter, it was sent borrowing a simple communication tool from a friend but this kind of tool was not something a student usually has. Maybe they had created a small mobile one which students can bring about. I would need to check this information with the capital, I thought to myself as I continued reading the letter.

  [ I cannot understand the meaning of Father’s words. ” We are not commoners but the lord who govern over them――――――――Never forget this. ” What does it actually mean? ]

  Reading that, I buried my head in my hands. My son was a straight and frank person but he was a little…… no, too frank.

  ” Sigh…… ”


  Letting out a deep sign, I began writing the reply to my son.

  [My dear son. What I said was ‘ We are not commoners but the lord who govern over them. Which means, we are fed by them in exchanged of us governing over them. Never forget this.’ ……Apart from that, was a new model of communication tool released in the capital? I had never seen any tool that could correspondence without registering first……]

  D007 -My Son Went To The Academy (Gion’s POV)

  Posted on December 30, 2016 by crazypumkin

  Editor: Poor_Hero

  TN: Happy New Year!

  It was a bolt out of the blue.

  Yes, it was a magnificent and delightful surprise. My son, was going to attend the Academy! Not to mention he got in by skipping grades!

  Normally, the starting age for the compulsory education for the Lower Academy was set at 10. But Will was only 8! Plus, according to John-dono, Will’s ability was more than enough to take on the court-scholar examinations! No matter how much of it was just flattery, it just proved how amazing my son was.

  Ah, I might have to take back my previous words of ‘magnificent and delightful’.……

  It would be so lonely!

  I was hardly at home these few days in order to handle the Anti-Kingdom revolts plus to deal with the aftermath of the incident a while ago. Thanks to that, I hardly met with Will. It was hell. It was so painful that I wanted to fire an attack on the Demon Forest with my sword.

  Well then, that incident.

  The ringleader turned out to be Jin Veltor, John-dono’s father. It was immediately proven that John-dono was not part of it. The reason was because he was a victim of the incident as well. He was confined in Veltor’s house basement by his own brother and father and tortured till he was bleeding all over and even had fractures all over his body. The one who got him out was Will……

  During that time, I was rushing over to the Capital due to a tip about a ship smuggling the prohibited [Slave Collar]. And Lily was at a Tea Party she had promised to attend for some time. As for John-dono, after receiving the news that his mother was in critical condition, he was rushed home.

  Him being rushed home and me going to the capital was all a set up to lure us out of the house. The moment I realized it was when I inspected the ship and only found chickens. By then it was already too late.

  The objective of the enemy was the documents in the house and the abduction of Will.

  Apart from my position, I was also in a very close relationship with Kesamu. My strength could also be said to be the best in the entire nation. Above all, I am a Duke and I lead the Knights, especially the White Knights that maintain the public order, is directly under my orders. The abduction of Will was them betting against the stakes.

  Under our undercover activities, the power of the Anti-Kingdom faction waned. Especially Veltor, who had committed many offences, such as importing slaves. He was really a picture-perfect example of a [Noble-sama] and to Kesamu (King), who was thinking more about the commoners, he was a thorn by his side. Because of that, Veltor must be thinking there was no other way out. And to think his son was working under the Beryl’s house. He might have thought he could learn about Beryl’s weakness from John-dono.

  Being the tutor for Will was totally unrelated to the workings of Beryl’s house. I would not have hired someone who did not know that difference. It greatly puzzled me why Jin Veltor would even think that.

  In the end, the [Shadows] they hired was defeated by their target, Will, who even rescued their information source (John) they were relying on and ended everything before anything happened but of course they were caught and stripped of their power and possessions.

  And then there were the trouble of having to settle the land that Veltor ruled over…… In the end, it was placed under the Beryl’s. As citizens had been running over from heavy-tax and badly-governed Veltor’s state, it did not make much of a difference and Veltor’s son, John-dono had been in the talks of handing it over as well.

  And when I went to Veltor to ask how he came to hire the [Shadows], the information was of a black-robed man. To think they would actually use such a suspicious person.

  That was not all. The problematic part was the Shadow-slaves were all bound with a [Slavery Collar]. It was a magical tool that had been prohibited throughout the world since a few hundred years ago.

  I thought it was obsolete. But even if a few of it were left over, the technique to make it was rather difficult. Could just a organization handle it? My head hurt just by thinking about the circumstances. The only organization big enough to control the [Shadow Group] could only be a [Country].

  Which was why I was running around dealing with many things and when it all had finally started to settle down, I had then realized it. It was an electric shock.

  I did not get to play with Will at all! To think I even went through the trouble to order a child-use sword!……

  But the reason Will skipped grades to enter the Academy was ‘I wanted to be able to help Father as soon as I can’. Hehehehe. This is my son, everyone. He could even skip grades. He had a good head.

  ” But still…… it’s lonely…… ”


  As I complained in front of the wash basin, Lily entered the room.

  ” Dear…… please stop with the grumbling. How about hugging Will when we see him off? ”


  ” That’s……that’s right! ”


  My mood lifted a little with Lily’s words. Yes, just a little!

  ” Will once complained that your beard hurt, didn’t he? How about shaving it properly? ”


  ” That’s right! I am going to shave it till it’s smooth! ”


  At my words, Lily laughed. She was as beautiful as ever. Gently, I hugged her and whispered.

  ” Let’s go somewhere when it’s our day off. I found a good place in the capital. ”


  ” Oh my. ”


  This time Lily burst out laughing. Oh well. Hm? The Academy and dorm Will entered were situated in the Capital? That’s totally unrelated.

  Interlude – Summer Holidays

  Posted on December 25, 2016 by crazypumkin

  Editor: Poor_Hero

  TN: Working on Christmas cause I promised you guys 1 extra chapter today.

  My master’s ‘that’ was small. What’s ‘that’? ‘That’ was ‘that’. His age. But other than that everything else was huge. His heart, his strength, his kindness , his angel-like cuteness.

  My master, the one who save the me who was a Shadow ―――― Will-sama was 8 years old. As the Duke-in-line, he did not act all high and mighty and treated the Beastmen me equally. But that’s not all. He removed the [Collar of Slavery] on me and saved me from the pit of darkness when I had given up.

  When I first got here, I wanted to die. Instead of comforting me, Will-sama scolded me instead. But his scolding was kind and gentle…… Ahhh…… Just thinking about it made my heart beat.

  Because I was hugged and stroked. Not just my ears, but my tail as well…… erm……

  Any, anyway!

  Will-sama was amazing. At 4 years old, he completed his studies and was even stronger than me…… He also knew many things that others didn’t. As expected of Gion-sama…… Old Master’s son. Not really. Somehow, Will-sama was too out of the norm that Old Master just didn’t seem all that special anymore.

  It’s Will-sama so it’s inevitable.

  I had decided that no matter what happened, I wouldn’t be surprised anymore. Because if I don’t, I don’t think I can hold up. Because it’s Will-sama.

  Even so, I still really like Will-sama. My gratitude for being saved was included as well but it’s not just that. After being taught by Will-sama and playing with him, I came to realize it.

  Will-sama was really strong and kind. Not his strength, but something like his heart. I am older by 9 years old but he knew a lot more than me, was a lot more mature than me. It’s an irony to know that I was the one being taken care of instead.

  I don’t think I am committing a crime. Others would think the taste I had was quite dangerous but no, Will-sama is not a child. He was really an amazing person. What was he, really?

  And by the time I noticed, I came to like him a lot. My heart pounded whenever he looked at me with his kind and gentle eyes. I like him? No, I really really like him. Or maybe I even love him. Or rather, that smile of his was foul play.

  Yes. That’s why, I am only under the pretext of returning the favor. I’ll become his attendant and stay by his side always.

  That’s my dream.

  When I told Will-sama that, he had a happy yet troubled expression. Tilting his head, he looked straight at me and said.

  ” Chiffon is free you know? You don’t have to worry about repaying and stuff like that. ”


  He was too kind. Will-sama will always be Will-sama. Or rather, Will-sama was too clever. There were times I had even forgotten the fact that he was a child. But you see, he was too thickheaded. I came to know that even if he was normally a genius, he was cursed with being really thickheaded in terms of feelings.

  Will-sama discussed with Old Master and my days of learning started. Mary-san was really strict. But she did not discriminate against me just because I am of Beastmen race and always looked upon me warmly. Besides, Will-sama was in charge of all my studies. I had fun everyday.

  But fun only lasted for a short while. The cursed time (compulsory education) finally came. Will-sama had skipped ahead and entered school. As expected of Will-sama. I can’t be willful but I really want the time we spend together to last longer.

  But it seemed like he could skip and skip and skip grades and it would only take 3 years before he completed High Academy. Was this good or bad? Either way, it’s amazing.

  Which brought us to now, right in the mid of summer. The summer holidays that I had been waiting for had finally come.

  ◆


  ” Lalalalala~ ♪ ”


  Chiffon, in an extremely good mood, waved her dust cloth about. If the window pane that she was cleaning had emotions, it would be in fear of when it would break under Chiffon’s force. Usually, this was where Mary-san would lay her iron-fist down but as she knew about the circumstances, she just looked on with a wry smile. Just to say, Mary-san was as happy as Chiffon that she could hardly hide it as well.

  ” Lalala~ ♪ ”


  The reason why Chiffon was happily humming to herself was known to everyone in the mansion. Or rather, everyone was behaving the same way.

  ” Today’s the day~ Will-sama~ is~ ♪ ”


  Yes, today’s the day Will was coming back for the Summer Holiday. The owner of this house, Gion, got information about it through the communication tool about a week ago. He was in high spirits after hearing about it that he missed a step down the stairs, did a turn in the air and landed beautifully on the ground. He was so unusually clumsy than usual that you knew immediately how happy he was.

  Will would also bring along 2 of his friends from school along.

  Which was why Will’s personal maid, Chiffon, was tasked with preparing the Head Maid’s room. While she could not deny the bad feeling she had when she heard Will’s ‘friends’, the truth was that Will was coming home. The tail behind her swished furiously.

  Leaving the absent-minded Chiffon aside, Mary, as expected of a veteran, had already finished preparing the 2nd room. Of course, veteran means having worked as a maid for a long period of time and had gained the experience throughout working……the next was something that could never be said. Talking about the age was a taboo for a maiden.

  All the housework were done by all the maids who gave their all and all that remained was waiting. After being chided by Mary, Chiffon finally took her position. Her tail wagged ferociously as she started thinking of the topics she wanted to chat with Will. Her thinking was seen though immediately, as exposed by the wagging of her tail. Looking at her, Mary smiled.

  ◆


  It took 5 hours on the rocking carriage. Although it was said to be a 4 hours trip if they hurried but as it was not urgent, they took their time traveling, putting breaks in between and had fun along the way.

  Selphy and Zen, who boarded the Beryl’s personal carriage was nervous at first, but slowly got used to it and had fun looking at the scenery outside and chatting within themselves. It was then. As the streets that could rival the ones in the capital slowly came into view, Selphy and Zen cheered.

  ” Amazing!!!! ”


  ” I heard rumors but this is amazing! ”


  At their words, Will smiled.

  ” Ah, uh. ”


  He won’t deny it. Hearing them praised his father made him as happy as though he was the one being praised. As the carriage cannot run through the streets, it went into a side road as it continued on. And in front, a small grassy hill could be seen. A building stood on top of it.

  Zen and Selphy looked at each other.

  ” Could it be…… ? ”


  Selphy looked at Will who grinned and nodded.

  ” Yep. That’s my house. ”


  ◆


  “” Welcome home, Will-sama! “”


  Once the carriage that Will, Zen and Selphy was in came into the grounds and started heading towards the mansion, everyone came out and gathered at the entryway. As it had been 4 months since he had last met them, Will’s face break into a smile.

  ” Welcome home, Will. ”


  Gion ran over to Will happily. Having a bad feeling, Will tried to run but failed. The captured Will got his usual face rubbed by Gion.

  As for Zen and Selphy, they were frozen on the spot. By the size of the mansion, the number of maids. In a word, they were taken aback. To add on, the national hero, Gion-sama appeared. They were bewildered by the attitude shown as Gion ran and caught Will happily as opposed to the image they knew of him.

  ” Ah, sorry about that. I lost myself for a bit. ”


  Gion said, embarrassed as he looked at the both of them. The frozen 2 jumped a bit, surprised.

  ” Welcome, Zen, Selphy. Take your time and enjoy your stay here. ”


  Look at Gion’s usual smiling face, Zen and Selphy somehow got their balance back.

  But somehow, Selphy thought as she tilted her head, she had been feeling a strong gaze for a while now. Especially from the entryway. Of course, the maids were all looking at Will’s girl friend. As they were escorted by Gion into the house, their luggage were carried by the maids as they felt sorry at troubling them.

  The luggage, which had a weight to them, was carried easily, single-handedly by the maids. Zen and Selphy were amazed by it. Everyone in the Beryl house seemed to be above average.

  Stepping into the house, their feet landed onto the soft carpet which made them instantly recoiled it back. Zen and Selphy hesitated, wondering if it was okay to step on it and then they saw Will walking normally ahead of them. They are Will’s friends. They need to have guts.

  But once they entered into the guest room, they were wowed by Gion’s dignified aura that they shrank back again. Will looked at Gion, who smiled.

  ” Well then, I still have some work left so I will leave you kids to have fun. There won’t be any nosy parents about so there’s no need to hold back. ”


  ‘I’ll excuse myself then.’ Gion said as he left and all strength left both Zen and Selphy.

  ” ……He is definitely Will’s father. ”


  Zen said, causing Chiffon and Mary to laugh. Not the national Hero Gion-sama but Will’s father. It seemed like Will’s out-of-the-norm status infliction stretched all the way to the Academy as well. Leaving the one who was tilting his head, everyone in the room was strangely unified together.

  What what what? Will totally didn’t understand but as the conversation can’t continue like this, he gave it up. Yes, I am not in the wrong here. He thought to himself, trying to accept it.

  ” Eh, these 2 are my friends, this is Zen, my roommate. This is Selphy, we are in the same class. Ah, same dorm too. ”


  At Will’s words, Zen and Selphy hurriedly gave a bow. They had not expected to be introduced.

  “” I will be in your care! “”


  What a perfect harmony, Will thought as a weird smile appeared on Chiffon’s face. As predicted. Reading through her, Mary gently smile and nodded.

  ” And this is our Head Maid, Mary-san. ”


  ” I had used to change Young Master diapers. ”


  Mary said, grinning.

  Will froze in an instant and within minutes, he went red. Will was usually the one doing the teasing so Selphy was very interested at this new reaction from Will that she hadn’t seen before. Chiffon’s bad feeling was a strike.

  ” This is Chiffon, my personal maid. She is also my friend so I hope you all would get along well. ”


  At Will’s introduction, Chiffon grinned.

  ” (At 4) We slept together, (at 4) hugged together, and was bound by a promise (as an attendant). ”


  Chiffon said, embarrassed.

  ” Wha……!! ”


  Selphy exclaimed, face reddening. Her head looked like it was about to boil.

  What Chiffon said was the truth. As for Will, he froze at the sudden attack. During this time, Chiffon continued.

  ” Will-sama had taught the useless me a lot of things. ”


  The reddened Selphy. The Zen who understood where this was going. And Will, who could only laugh at this already chaotic beginning of the summer holiday.

  ◆◆◆

  D009 – I Enrolled Into Phillis Academy But…… First Part (Mi’s POV)

  Posted on January 7, 2017 by crazypumkin

  Editor: Poor_Hero

  I was the eldest son of the Sociunnov family and was the succeeding count, Mi Sociunnov.

  The Sociunnov family had sworn their loyalty to the kingdom even since Elzmu was founded and was in-charge of guarding the border to the [East Demon Forest]. They were an old family with a history.

  And the next head, me, had graced the Phillis Academy with my presence for enrolling. I had a bit of resentment for being grouped together with the commoners for the dormitory but it was unbecoming for a high-class noble such as myself to be raising my voice. A noble would never trouble themselves over such petty stuff!

  That’s why I shall endure.

  Look at me! Hahaha! Wasn’t I awesome?!……

  Father, was I doing the noble-standing-at-the-top thing correctly? Feeling a bit uneasy, I recalled the words Father spoke to me when I was setting off.

  ” We are not commoners but the lord who governs over them――――――――Never forget this “


  Yes, I think that was what he said. I had a feeling he said something else but oh well. My father is amazing. He managed to rebuild the land and made it prosper after what that rubbish gramps had done to it. Thanks to that, he got back the faith from the Royal family that was lost after Grampa’s generation and seemed to be relied by the King.

  Ahhh, Father is magnificent.

  I gave my all to uphold the words Father had specially granted me when I enrolled into the Academy.

  A situation happened when we were guided by the upper classmen to our respective classroom after the entrance ceremony. An angel-like young boy just randomly took a seat, resulting in everybody doing the same. Don’t think I would forgive you just because you are cute! That’s because I needed to follow my father’s words! Why should I be seated behind the commoners?!

  But, [Free Seating] was written on the blackboard. Ah, so it was not that he simply sat as he pleased. I shall obey since it was the academy’s rule. A noble shall always follow the rules.

  I sat down and crossed my legs over the seat next to me. That way, I can at peace knowing no commoners will be sitting next to me. ……No, I am not feeling lonely. I blew my nose and gazed at the blackboard.

  Come to think of it, my old home tutor was using one as well. This was one of the First Founder’s invention. Elzmu’s first King sure was great.

  As these thoughts went through my mind, the door opened with a force and a huge man entered. My house was situated at the border and as a Knight’s family, I had seen my fill of muscled guys but was such muscles needed for a teacher? Scholars and officers who worked at my house were usually slender and thin.

  ” Ah, everyone is here! I am glad everyone is sitting down nicely. ”


  Muscled man looked around the classroom happily. Man, his voice sure was loud. No one was making a racket nor was the classroom big enough to warrant this volume. We can still hear you without all the shouting.

  ” O-kay, let us start with self-introduction! ”


  Muscled man shouted before grinning. Why was he grinning?

  ” Firstly…… My name is Zelda! ”


  And he flexed his muscles. I opened my eyes in surprised. That’s because when he said the word ‘Zelda’, the name appeared in fire in the air!

  ” As you can see, my attribute is fire. Fire attribute primary level teacher, and the in-charge of this class! ”


  According to him, the fire words seemed to be his doing. Father had once said it was difficult to control magic to that extent. As expected of the academy’s teacher, the name was not for nothing.

  ” So, that’s it for today. There would be a body check-up tomorrow so for those staying in dormitory, don’t be late just because you are not used to it and can’t sleep. ”


  The man said something but I was still in awe at the wonderfully controlled magic. I wondered if I would become such a wonderful magician like him? I wondered if I would become a Knight, that after succeeding Father, developed the land and protected the border against demon beasts and caught the King’s attention. No one shall be hungry and everyone would have a smile on their faces.

  My bad, I was lost in my thoughts. When I realized it, no one was left in the classroom. Oh, no! I was going to be late for the important task I was entrusted with!……

  Ah, it should be okay. ‘A Hero always makes a late entrance’ was the First King, Elzmu Dera Oio, favorite phrase. I seemed to be held in high expectation to lead the commoners as I was chosen to be [Door Duty officer], the one to open the door for the first years! The door was locked with magic and without knowing the magic word, it cannot be opened. Of course, no first years would know the magic word which was why there was such a duty. The word was taught by ‘Kiro’, who seemed to have been the dormitory leader for a few years.

  Such an honor. This needed reporting to Father.

  Panicking, I opened up the map and rushed over to where the dormitory was. ……But the academy was built in a really confusing way. I was completely lost. In order to find my way, I drew out the path to the dormitory on the map. I should be okay if I walked according to this path. This time, I won’t get lost.

  ◆


  I was lost. The map was bogus. Why do I need to go up and down the stairs a few times when it was just a straight line on the map?! Please draw the map properly!

  When I finally arrived at the dormitory, I panicked. What was this?! Everyone had already arrived at the dormitory! Plus, my role had been taken over!

  ” YOU. What did you do! ”


  Rushing over, I saw the silvered-hair child with a curly red-headed kid pair, who sat down first at the classroom. And then I realized it when I rushed over. What was this. Why was the door opened?!!

  ” Is it not me who is in charge of the door this year?! ”


  I stood there stunned, looking at the opened door before I realized. There were many commoners standing around the door. According to the placement of where they were standing, it must be silver-hair who opened the door.

  Strange! Was I not given favorable treatment from the dorm leader because of my noble status?! From what I remembered, silver-hair did not give a full-name when he introduced himself. It meant that he was a commoner. Did it mean that he was chosen and not me?! What was going on?!

  ” Besides, aren’t you guys simply commoners? ”


  Was this what it meant by commoners stealing the role from me since I was late?! Had I already betrayed Father’s words? Everyday, Father would tell me, ‘Conduct yourself with the awareness of a Noble.’. Which meant that I shouldn’t be looked down on.

  ” Even though I had already compromised by agreeing to live with commoners, what is with these guys? ”


  Since there was no point crying over spilled milk, I shall teach them the wonderfulness of my family! By my words, silver-hair and curly-hair shrank, finally realizing the greatness of noble me.

  But then, for some reason, silver-hair let out a deep sigh like Father.

  ” And? Who are you and what did we do to you? ”


  Wha, what?! I had, in class just now, introduced myself with as much appeal as possible with my beautiful family name and he was saying he did not remember it?! The class went into a buzz because of my name!……

  I get it. This silver-hair was an ‘airhead’ who forgot things the next second. Must be. A noble must possess a large heart to accept these kind of people too.

  [TN: In raw, it was birdhead]

  ” You think you are so important, isn’t it? Not knowing who I am. Oh my, oh my. Being unable to remember despite hearing it once is so pitiful. There’s no choice, I shall teach you. I am the next head of the Count family, Mi Sociunnov. ”


  And when I shall be big-heart and introduced myself once more, silver-hair had a flash of surprised on his face before hanging his head. His shoulders even trembled. He had finally realized who he was talking to.

  ” Ooh, are you scared? It can’t be helped, you, who did not know, shall be forgiven…… ”


  But, as I was about to forgive him with me big-heartedness, he lifted his head up, interrupting me mid-sentence.

  ” Ah, I am sorry. ……That was amusing. ”


  Wh, what?

  What was amusing? Was this guy’s head okay?

  Looking at me, he gave a beautiful smile.

  ” I thought no matter the status, everyone in school studying is a student, am I wrong? ”


  He remained composed as his smile widened and he did a graceful bow. The movement was refined, and did not look like he just came up with it on the spot.

  He looked clean and healthy…… It then finally dawned on me. Was the child in front of me really a commoner?

  ” Since you specially introduced yourself, it would be rude of me not to. I am the next head of the Duke Family, Williams Beryl. Nice to meet you. ”


  Congrat……uations……!

  My mind just froze at that moment.

  D008 – Beginning Of School! (Zen’s POV)

  Posted on January 2, 2017 by crazypumkin

  Editor: Poor_Hero

  TN: Last chapter before I go for my holiday tomorrow. Yes, I just dropped that casually.

  It was my first time setting foot into the capital and it was all very interesting! I finally arrived at the capital where Phillis Academy was located from my hometown, located at the countryside, excited. My aim was to skip grades and complete my education as soon as possible! The Academy came with a dorm and the capital’s library was said to be the biggest one! Plus, Phillis Academy was the oldest academy around and it was rumored that one might possibly find things that the first founder had left behind.

  It was all very interesting to the me who came from the countryside, which had nothing, that I couldn’t help but looked around restlessly. I love strange and weird things. They just shined so brightly to me.

  ” Uwah! ”


  I exclaimed, looking at the sky. Amazing! What a weird color for a tree! Despite being one, it had pink flowers blooming and were planted near the entrance of the Academy gates.

  I was sure I could find plenty of amusing stuff here!

  ◆


  ” It is this time of the year again, where seedlings plants their roots here and bloom beautifully……First years, I congratulate you on your first day of school. ”


  I didn’t really get what the Headmaster was trying to say. Sometimes adults were so difficult to understand. Was there any meaning to using a roundabout way just to say something simple? It was just a waste of time, wasn’t it?

  ” Thank you, Headmaster. And so, the entrance ceremony is over. Students, please head towards the classroom that correspondences to the color of your student card you are given earlier. Once you exit the assembly hall, there would be upper classman guiding you so please do not worry. ”


  Glancing around, I saw that there were many whom had fallen asleep. I was almost going to, at one point. Then, according to what the muscular sensei had said, everyone stood up from their seats. They must had been bored.

  Well then, hmmm. Color of my student card. I looked at the card I was given. It shined a beautiful white.

  ” It’s white! Cool! ”


  As to sensei’s instructions, I began heading towards the person who was holding a white flag up, holding up the card high and skipping along the way. Because I was just so happy!

  Thanks to that, I did not see the person standing in front of me and bumped into him. To think I had already messed up! Because of this, my childhood friend used to call me ‘a clumsy and inattentive fool’.

  ” ……!! ”


  ” ……Uwah, sorry, I did not see you there! ”


  I should apologize in moments like this. And I should look at their eyes when apologizing…… I was surprised at the child who turned back and looked at me. I mean, he was as cute as those angels from the picture books!

  How small!

  Did he skip grades?

  ” It’s okay, don’t worry, I am not paying attention as well. ”


  ” Could it be that you skipped grades? By the way, I am Zen. ”


  ” Ah, kinda. I am only 8 years old so I am not a ‘real’ chibi! I am William Beryl, you can just call me Will. ”


  I see……So he’s only 8 years old…… What was I doing when I was 8? Maybe only to the standard of running errand from the opposite streets. He’s amazing……

  Eh? Did he…… just say…… his last name?

  Only Nobles have a last name. Father used to say it was because they were part of the older generations or something like that, I don’t really understand. Anyway, Father said that if it’s possible, praised anyone who gives their full name as they were most likely a Noble.

  ” ……That’s amazing, you’re a noble. ”


  ” I am not that amazing. Only by chance did I get born into a Noble family. I did not do anything. ”


  ” You’re interesting, Will. ”


  ” Is that so? ”


  Yes, you’re interesting, Will. I had thought Nobles were people who had a strangely strong pride. I wanna be friends with him. Plus, with that cute look of his, he used ‘Ore’. Was he trying to be older? Hehe.

  ◆◆◆

  TN: Opps, such a short chapter, did not realized that. Anyway, I came to realized how childish Zen’s monologue actually was as compared to Will. Cute.

  Oh yes, holiday. I would be gone for 4 days so the next new chapters would be in around 5 days time…… I hope. Happy new year!

  D003 – Seems Like A Tutor Is Coming

  Posted on June 12, 2016 by crazypumkin

  Editor: Poor_Hero

  ” La la la la la la la la la ”


  I hum as I walk along the ridiculously long and luxurious corridor. I still cannot seem to get used to walking on the so-soft-your-feet-just-might-sink-into-it carpet. Eh, isn’t walking barefooted better for this?

  Being conservative is the part of Japanese culture. And essentially the inner me was raised with the sense of values of a commoner. To this commoner, this luxurious carpet is terrifying.

  But enough about trivial matters.

  Today, I was summoned to the office by my father. [TN: I used Dad before but now I’m wondering if Father would be a better fit……] I hardly get to meet my parents around noon time as they are usually busy with their duties so this is pretty rare. I……It’s not that I am excited about the fact that I get to play with him after so long! I am not happy at all since it is Father who I am meeting.

  Eh? My humming? Ah, it’s that. The chants that monks do before they undergo their strict training. Yep, that.

  How was the debut the other day? Don’t ask that! Why? Somehow the moment I was up on the stage, a commotion stirred among the guests. That shook me up and I fumbled with my lines.

  And the commotion got louder.

  Surely they were surprised as to why one would make a normal words-fumbling 3 years old, an age that one would call too young, to give an introductory speech for a debut. What a doting idiot Father, they might think.

  Recalling that memory, I sigh. Anyway, I don’t think I will encounter another doomsday level stage event again so it should be all right…… I am raising a flag aren’t I? [TN: Yes you are.]

  I don’t wanna! I am going to escape with all my strength if that ever happens. Don’t underestimate the stealth skill that I have been polishing from my baby years where I used to sneak into the library.

  The conversations went on within myself as I walked along the soft carpet, I found myself at the destination already. In front of me is a stupidly huge wooden door and beyond, the area which my Dad is in for every afternoon, his office. Every time I looked at it I couldn’t help thinking what a useless idiotically huge door. One so big that if you do not twist your neck up to look up you cannot get the entire view of it.

  I knocked lightly and immediately my Father’s voice could be heard asking me to enter. Tall stacks of paper can be seen on the table as I enter. As this was my first time entering, I could not help but be in awe and started looking around. Seeing me, Father laughed.

  ” Hey Will, if you look around that much you are going to twist your neck off. ”


  ” No I won’t! ”


  I did not do that much looking around! Although it was true that I was charmed by the shelves of Spells Books……

  I have been acting more and more like a child these few days, let’s be more careful. I let out the air that I used to puff my cheeks with.

  ” So what is the matter? ”


  ” Ah, I was just thinking it’s about time to hire a tutor for you. ”


  Even though my Father said that, the norm for hiring a tutor to teach about things like common knowledge, political movements, writing and math are usually when a child turns 5 for the Nobles.

  It must be that my appeal of wanting to study towards my Father finally got through.

  Eh, it’s very tiring, appealing while acting like a 3 year old. I can get knowledge from reading on my own but it is rather difficult to explain when asked [TN: Remember guys, he’s only 3.] so I am aiming for this development!

  Of course, I agree with a force as if to say ” Yeah! I have been waiting for this! “.

  ” But Will, why are you in such a rush to study? ”


  My intention that was conveyed to my Father perfectly made him asked about the reason. It could be said that it was because of my thirst for knowledge but to tell the truth, there was another reason for it.

  I look at my feet. [TN: The direct translation is : I stared at the carpet.] I can feel blood rushing to my face and I am pretty sure I am blushing hard right now.

  ” ……Father is always busy right? I……will study so I can help Father. ”


  Touched, my Father started tearing.

  This is embarrassing to admit but I am kinda proud of my Father and I genuinely want to help out with his work. His looks are average so is this what they call charisma……? [TN: Don’t worry, you’ll have it. All LN MC have it. ]

  ” Will, thank you! ”


  ” It is my duty! ”


  ” Ahh, thank you! And, about the tutor…… ”


  Father’s face clouded over slightly.

  ” Ah. What’s the matter? ”


  ” Ah, no, I don’t know much about the person himself…… but he is definitely one of the guests at your birthday party. ”


  It is rare to see Father hesitating.

  ” Rather than saying he is a scholar working at the Royal Castle, it might be more fitting to call him a researcher…… He is not a bad person but…… ”


  ” Eccentric? ”


  Father paused again.

  ” Ah……eccentric……Hmm……How should I explain. As the 2nd son of Viscount Veltor, he abandoned the family name…… Sorry, the application was too sudden so I am not very clear on the details. A person who took great care of me in the Royal Castle told me about him, John Veltor, greatly desired to work here as your tutor. ”


  ” ……It is not Veltor himself who applied? ”


  ” Ah no……erm, would you understand if I said there’s heavy taxes involved……? ”


  I do. [TN: I don’t.]

  I might have looked at him with reproachful eyes. Flustering, Father mumbled ” No matter who recommended him, hiring a strange man is…… “.

  ” Hmm……? ”


  I murmured before turning around to face Father with a smile. That person who took care of Father must be one that is of a higher rank…… Oh well, as long as I get to study. Besides, I shouldn’t be willful.

  ” Father, it’s okay, I understand. ”


  With a face that screams ‘I was saved’, Father grabs both of my hands.

  ” Oh! Try your best! ”


  As of now, the road of knowledge seems to be full of difficulties.

  ◆


  ◆


  And today is the day who the role of education – my tutor, is coming. My current state is of extreme shock. Sitting right opposite the desk across from me is a striking man with shiny black pupils and glossy black hair that is loosely tied up. His gorgeousness is amplified when he gently smiles. Plus his legs are long. Damn it!

  Ju……Just wait till I grow up……!

  He was in the drawing room having a discussion with Father before being invited into my room and introduced to me. Yes, he is really my tutor. [TN: Yea, I think we got it.]

  Seeing that he came from a family of corrupted nobles, my image was of a fat and prideful man. Instead, a slim handsome young man [TN: Ikemen. I’m calling him Ikemen from now on.] walked in. Really, you can’t blame me for being surprised.

  Plus, this Ikemen was looking at Father with sparkling eyes of admiration like how kids’ eyes looked like when they were at a Hero’s stage show. But for some reason, once he entered this room, his expressions went stiff. That, coupled with his upturned eyes, makes him look quite scary.

  ” Erm…… ”


  ” Ah, sorry, I am kind of nervous. As you already know, I am John Veltor and I am going to be your tutor from now on. ”


  Said John-sensei timidly, with a stiff and slightly embarrassed face.

  ” Yes, I will be in your care. My name is William-Beryl, you can just call me Will. ”


  [TN: Why is it that only his name got an equal = sign in it?].

  Saying that, I bowed and for some reason, John-sensei was showing a surprised expression. Did I do something wrong? Nothing came to mind so I ignored it. For this kind of moment usually one would look for another subject to talk about……

  ” Erm, what should I call Mr Veltor from now on? ”


  Mr Veltor smiled.

  [TN: This name change is in the web novel. Is the author experimenting with all sorts of combination for John Veltor?]

  ” You can call me whatever you like. However…… ”


  He had a slightly bitter yet teasing expression on.

  ” ……anything but Veltor. ”


  Ah, I get it.

  I finally believed that, indeed, this man, as rumors said, had abandoned his family name. Right now, he seems like an honest and gentlemanly fellow and I cannot sense any bad vibes from him nor he seems like the type who uses flattery.

  In fact, he feels a bit like a puppy……

  Ah……I can’t deny the possibility that he might be a sly fox who had won thousands of mind battles.

  My instinct? Not a bad guy.

  Happy by this fact, I smiled.

  ” Then, John-sensei! Is that okay? ”


  Hey, if it’s a tutor, then it cannot be anything other than Sensei right!

  [TN: I think you all knows what Sensei (teacher) means……]

  Once I said that, John-sensei beamed at me……

  What is this sense of defeat? Hm.

  He is beautiful. He is handsome. He is a bespectacled Ikemen prodigy……

  And also a gentleman.

  It might had been he was nervous before. Now that I looked at him again, yet first impression was not wrong. He is really an Ikemen. [TN: An Ikemen?] This is the first time I felt an intimacy with a black pupil, black haired person ever since I arrived in this world.

  Grrr…… I’m jealous.

  [TN: Missing Terao?]

  It’s okay! In the future even with an average face I will be popular!

  ” By the way Mister Will…… ” [TN: He is using -sama.]

  I nearly drowned in the tears of my thoughts before John-sensei’s voice pulled me back to reality.

  ” John-sensei, please stop with the ‘Mister’. ”


  Again with the formal tone! As a tutor we are going to be together for a long time to come and if we are to be this formal, my upper lip was going to go stiff! [TN: In original text : My shoulders are going to go stiff. ] Ah, this is not a pun……you there, don’t say that it’s cold! [TN: Cold jokes = pun……get it?] It is an accident, just an accident.

  ” Then…… Will…… ”


  ” Is fine. ” [TN: Original text is that he is to call Will-kun, not -sama.]

  ” ……Eh……That is a bit…… ”


  ” It’s okay because you are my Sensei! ”


  I got impatient and reflexively puffed my cheeks. With a slightly troubled face, Sensei finally agrees to call me Will.

  ” Ah yes Sensei, what is it that you want to ask? ”


  I said, pulling the conversation back on track. Hearing this, John-sensei turn serious.

  ” Ah. It’s just……If you don’t mind me asking, it is a little early for a 3 year old to have a tutor. I was wondering if you made this request or was it Sir Gion’s idea? ”


  This person’s eye sparkles whenever the topic is about Father. He really seems to admire Father. Me too, apart from his face, aim to be like Father. [TN: What is wrong with his face? I mean he even has fangirls around the world!]

  Sorry for dashing your hope…… I gave a small bitter smile.

  ” Ah, it was me who requested for a tutor. ”


  John-sensei looks to be very shocked……

  Yep, I’m sorry for betraying your expectations……

  But Sensei too, betrayed my expectations so I was not in the wrong!

  [TN: Do you prefer a prideful fat Sensei instead?]

  ” It’s Will……? But why? I don’t mean to be rude but boys at your age usually only think about having fun. ”


  ” I don’t know anything. I am proud seeing Father so needed (busy) but as for me, I can’t help with anything…… ”


  I looked at Sensei with a mischievous glint in my eyes.

  ” ……And I am frustrated with that. ”

  TN : I meant to finished this yesterday but I had overtime so……Enjoy!

  D002 – I’m Finally 3!

  Posted on June 10, 2016 by crazypumkin

  Editor: Poor_Hero

  Hi there. And just as everybody thought, I have been reincarnated into another world. Woah, wait what do you mean reincarnation?! …… One person manzai is in vain so let’s stop.

  [TN: Manzai is bokke and tsukomi.]

  My name in this world is William – Beryl.

  Everyone calls me Will.

  But after god said to get me going and after being wrapped in a warm light, I was plunged into darkness which really shocked me. Reincarnation was said but if I was to remain a human or not was not……thinking about this was really scary.

  It was dark and I seemed to be floating in water made me thought that I was reincarnated into a deep sea fish or something like that. If it was that retaining human memories was going to be hell.

  Being deceived like this by god made me hated him for a while. The truth is simple. That darkness, that was because I was in my mother’s womb. Then the pressure that was pressing on my skull, hard enough that I am thinking of the field of flowers again, I saw the world outside of the darkness.

  As a baby I must be tiny. The hand that carried me was huge. And by that hand, I was lowered into a warm bath.

  Such giants exist in this world!? Was what I thought but that was not the truth. She was a just a normal sized aunti…… cough cough. Something scary will happen if I complete that word. A lady’s age and weight are forever a taboo subject, as my friend taught me.

  That’s right, it was the head maid’s hands. As a baby, everything looks huge to me which is new.

  And with that kind of feeling, I came into this world. And today, I turned 3.

  Time passes. No……I already can’t remember the days I am still a baby……! Totally! I……It’s not that I don’t want to remember!

  Yep.

  It was not like the web novels where reincarnators laughed and said they got their hearts broken because of embarrassment by the changing of diapers so lightly.

  The bad thing is, I was 17 when I died. And I was hugged by a woman around early 20s! Moreover! My face was brought near to her breast……Wahh! My mouth is sealed about the rest.

  But! Because it was needed to give me the nutrition I needed, I was not in the wrong! That’s right! But even, ladies hated my looks in my previous life so I had zero experience with the opposite sex whatsoever.

  Try getting carried by a young lady as she thumps your back? But that is to prevent a baby from suffocating when he vomits milk. Then try burping? You would feel pathetic. Pathetic……No no no!

  And after that horrible feeding time, a baby still has to face another hell like torture. That’s right! Diapers! And that you can’t choose the timing or place before you start crying! I am so sorry, this is embarrassing, I don’t even know how to face you. This overflowing embarrassment period I totally can’t rememberrr!!!!!!

  I am an able man from now. Not one who will squirm about my past. Let’s keep it a secret that I am only training my acting when I am speaking in a baby language. The important thing is now.

  Even though I had a dark past, it is not all bad. The regret that I felt when I was reincarnated into this world was solved by a baby’s high comprehension. That is the language.

  It was a language that only belongs to another world. I regretted not cheating my way through the language barrier when I reincarnated. But! That’s where the baby comes in! The language is learned immediately!

  Even on earth babies have no trouble learning a language. It must be that they use a kind of incredible magic. That’s right, in this world, magic exists! Imagine my excitement when I found out!

  I was 1 when I came to know. At that age, I sneaked out of my baby cart for my daily lesson when my mum, head maid and maids were not looking. Training my stealth! Memorizing the map of the house!

  And then I found the Garden of Temptation! The library!

  I climbed on my fours through the library and finally, it was held in my baby hands! The name of the book is [Magic That Even Monkeys Can Learn – Beginner]! Yea. It sounds just like the book for babies to learn the basics of magic. What a horrible title.

  In this world, or the place I was born, Elzmu country, magic is not a rare occurrence but is used by everyone. It is not the chyunibyo situation where magic can only be used by me. Too bad. Ah, it is not that I want that to happen. I, am totally not chunni at all. Instead, I am only a chicken who is terrified of being hated……

  Enough about that.

  We are talking about magic. I don’t know why but the magic of this world, all incantations and magic circles are in Japanese. Ah, when that bearded god (old man) is speaking in Japanese, doesn’t that mean this is all intentional……?

  But, to the me who looks up to the blue tanuki robot [TN: I’m pretty sure you guys know who.], this is a situation I am glad of! Thanks to the dimension pocke…… cough, cough. It’s not the pocket but make it the [Subspace] where magic items can be created and every kind of magic can be used.

  The magic of this world is typical, it can be assembled, and everyone has 1 attribute that they are good at. The stronger your imagination = the stronger the magic will be.

  There are 2 ways to activate your magic, either by incantation or by drawing a magic circle. And as you thought, you would need imagination for incantation, without it, the magic could not be activated. But because of that, the better you are at imagining the details, the stronger your magic will be. And above incantation, chant less incantation exists.

  As for the magic circle, you use kanji, or hiragana to write on surfaces which you then transfer your mana into it to activate. In exchange for not needing imagination, the mana consumption is ridiculously huge. So people carved on magic stones for the extra mana fuel it possessed.

  It was the Royals and Nobles from a certain military country situated in the north that produces these stones willfully for the riches. Just like a typical example of immoral nobles.

  Children usually cannot activate their magic till they are around 10 years of age but somehow I am able to use mine at the age of 1. Plus I can use all attributes…… Typical huh?

  Well, once I found that out, I sneaked out after my 1st birthday party when the maids were busy cleaning up because I felt like doing something since I was free. The fact that I was so happy to find out that I can use all attributes of magic that the weird pose I struck was seen by the head maid, Marie, must be my imagination. It must be because babies have good imagination plus my inner age of 17 plays a part too.

  And so I finally became 3 in this world!

  My inner age of 17 + 3 = 20. 20 years old. It is my coming of age. The age where I can finally drink…… though it’s not that I am going to drink. Drinking alcohol with a 3 year old body is definitely going to affect my health! I will wait till I reach the coming of age of this world before I drink.

  ” Are you okay, Mr Will? ”


  As I was sitting on the sofa thinking about these 3 years, Mari-san, the head maid, who finished her cleaning, asked. Mari-san was a slightly plump aunti……lady who bathed me in warm water the moment I was born. Strict and meticulous in her work yet she gives off a warm feeling……but to me she is as troubling in doting me as my stupid parents.

  If it is not this inner me, a spoiled selfish brat would be born from all this doting! ……Saying that, I am actually very happy about it. The love from parents that I did not receive in my previous life is given to me in this one. At the surface it looks like I am troubled and embarrassed by all this affections but actually, I am really really happy.

  [TN: Come over here, you! I’ll give you all the love you want!]

  Even though my death was due to a horrible mistake, I can’t help thinking sometimes it is fine to thank the god for this. Really, to be able to feel this deeply blessed by something so common as a parent’s affection makes me think that choosing this [cheat] of retaining my memories is one of the best choices I had made.

  Ah, I had unintentionally started thinking about all this on my 3rd birthday but let’s focus on the conversation with Mari-san.

  [TN: I am really not confident with this sentence……Most likely it’s all wrong……]

  I smile awkwardly as I look up at Mari-san.

  ” I……I become nervous…… ”


  That’s right, the reason I started thinking about the past was to distract myself as today, right now, is going to be my debut. A debut you say? Yes, a debut. Inviting people to my house for my birthday party and showing my face to them. In other words, I am the center-of-attention of this party!

  There’s no wonder I am nervous. After all, my dad is the leader of a Knights group and we are one of the oldest family around, a Duke family. As so, most of the guests invited are Nobles, most of whom are holding high distinguished positions. I’m scared~ Aristocracy are scary!

  Do I need to join in the battle between the fox and the tanuki? [TN: It means that the nobles are trying to outfox each other.] I am trembling but all I need to do is to greet them. Well of course, after all I am only 3 years old. But still! A greeting! In front of everyone!

  The same face as my previous life turns pale. Yep. In my previous life, my looks are below average…… I don’t want to admit that so let’s make it average…… I thought I would be granted a different face in this life but I ended up with the same face. This is one of my biggest regrets.

  Maybe having a different face with the same memories will affect the mind or something like that. Even if I didn’t know the reason, if that bearded god thought he was helping me by doing this then I would really like to punch him hard. Or rather, why did I not ask to be an Ikemen! I am such an idiot!

  I first found out about this tragedy a few days after I was born. No, it was not that I saw myself in the mirror. I mean, I was still a baby then so the face was going to be different from what I had now.

  Then how did I find out?

  The answer is……my dad who came back from patrolling the territory. My dad who, on the day I was born, had to leave the house because of his job. When my dad came back, he entered the room when I was playing with my mum and I received a huge shock when I saw his face. Why? It was because his face was exactly like mine in my previous life! Ah, even so, he had silky silver hair with blue eyes, and his face was deeper like Caucasians, a face that fits this world.

  My mum is a blond, green-eyed beauty. I was still looking forward to inheriting her features before I felt like I was punched and knocked out of the ring and left there to die. Yep. This was the first time I felt despair after coming into this world.

  Seeing that face of mine breaks into a huge grin, and even making funny faces like pressing his cheeks together really makes me……really……! Plus his stubble hurts me physically, while my heart hurts mentally. And the fact that I still can’t speak properly means that I cannot even convey my pain about his stubble!

  After that I practiced my pronunciations like mad.

  But, my father manages to snag my mother, is the leader of the Knights, and on top of being really strong, is a lord who is said to have the best management skills around, possesses sharp thinking that even scholars are surprised, is a [Double] that can control 2 attributes of magic who will make you go ‘what is with this [Cheat] like bastard!’ kind of man. He is also a presence that has ladies fans around the country screaming. Learned all of this from the maids’ gossip.

  That is my father. A magnificent man which hurts me with his face. Persevere me.

  Right, let’s put aside the topic about my father.

  Is it fun to let this normal, ineloquent child to speak in front of everybody? The idiot doting parents that think too high about their son. They even gave the job of greeting the guests to me!

  Those who are not nervous in this situation, you aren’t even heartless, you are lifeless!

  ” There is no problem if it’s Mr Will. There is no worries because you are so cute. ”


  To the nervous me, Mari-san actually gave such an idiot-doting-parent kind of answer. No, look here, even in Aristocracy, debuting is held by older, firmer kids around 5, 6 years old!

  Sigh. The guests are bewildered by this as well as well huh……

  As my heart beats loudly, I confirm once again my speech.
