Chapter 10

Rebrant returned to the capital city. However, I still wonder if it was really okay to sell it. But, what's done is done.

At the very least, there is a possibility of future military contact. It would be best to organize the magic I can use now. Alright, if that's decided, I need to go to the forest.

Is that it? I feel like there was something else, but oh well. Thinking about it, I have quite a variety of options, but they are mostly single-target spells. Even if I can't do much with a single attribute, maybe I can combine them? Fusion magic or composite magic. There are plenty of possibilities.

Using fire and earth magic, I could create a pseudo-meteor made of magma. If I make the pseudo-meteor smaller, it should have minimal impact on the terrain.

Then there's the Firestorm with fire and wind magic. I tried a small-scale version, but it was on a disaster level. If I used it against people, it would create a hellish situation.

Well, if I can do all this, it should be enough. Now I just need to improve my proficiency with magic.

With spring arriving, I planted new crops like turnips and soybeans in the Owl field and trained in magic. Time passed quickly as I did these things.

Rebrant usually came every two to three weeks, but this time he didn't come even after three weeks. Something must have happened. So, I trained even more in magic, but not elemental magic.

"Maybe there should be more specialized magic for dealing with people."

I created the following five types:

- Mana Pressure

- Intimidation

- Downforce

- Area Heal

- Spatial Awareness

The notable one is Downforce. This is a force that typically pins vehicles to the ground. The idea is to pin enemies to the ground.

At the same time, I made cookies, soap, and toner. Unfortunately, I couldn't make soy sauce and miso because I didn't have enough soybeans. Every time Rebrant came, I bought soybeans, but I got carried away and tried making tofu, which quickly used up all the soybeans. Of course, the tofu wasn't complete.

I feel like I'm working like a horse even though I'm only six. Is this what it's like to be a poor farmer?

It had been over a month and a half since Rebrant's last visit when he finally came to Oren Village. This time, he wasn't with his usual small, elite group of guards. He seemed to be leading a grand entourage.

Far-sight!

Rebrant's face looked clearly tired. ...Hmm? He's talking? I can probably understand from his lip movements.

Owl translation: "Sorry, I couldn't control it. The supplier hasn't been exposed, so just cover for me."

Rebrant translation: "Sorry, I couldn't control it. The supplier is about to be exposed, so don't come out under any circumstances." Rebrant must have sensed something. He would definitely know if I was here.

At this moment, both of them were completely unaware of their mismatched perceptions.

"Hey, Owl, it's been a while. I'm sorry for being late this time. Here, here are the usual soybeans. One gold coin is fine." (Why are you here, Owl? I told you not to come. Are you an idiot? Are you going to die?)

"It's been a while, Rebrant. I was worried something had happened. Here's one gold coin. By the way, you seem to have a grand entourage this time. What's going on?" (Don't worry, Rebrant. I'll act like a normal six-year-old!)

"Well, they want to know about the goods I'm importing, but the supplier is mysterious, so I told them I don't know. I said I might not see them every time, but they insisted on coming." (Please don't say anything unnecessary, Owl. I really need you to leave without saying anything. Don't cause any more trouble.)

The two of them continued to have a mismatched conversation in their hearts.

"Rebrant, who is this boy?"

"Mrs. Mule...! This boy is Lark's son from this village." (Not good...! Owl, run away quickly!)

"Nice to meet you. What do you use these soybeans for?"

Mrs. Mule is the first wife of the Randolf Margrave, who governs this area. She is known to be a beauty of the highest caliber. The Randolf Margrave is famous for caring for his people and is also known for being a devoted husband. Mrs. Mule is known to be so beautiful that she can change a person's appearance.

Owl didn't know this and only thought that an incredibly beautiful person had come. He vaguely understood that she was probably noble, but he didn't realize she was the Margrave's wife. He was so overwhelmed by her beauty that his mind went blank.

"Well, I use them to make seasonings and eat them!"

...Huh!? I made a mistake! I said the truth because she was so beautiful!

(Seasonings? I've never heard of that. Still, I can't tell if you really dislike trouble, Owl... But, this boy isn't directly connected to the toner yet! There's still time!)

"Owl, I remember you make a paste from these beans. 'Rebrant, I'm talking to this boy right now'... Yes."

(Owl, I can't do anything more. Please try to handle it!)

"Yes, as Rebrant said, I process them into a paste." (I'm not lying, right? Miso is indeed a paste...)

"Hmm... It seems you're not lying. I never thought someone would eat soybeans like that, but you're an interesting boy. Thank you."

Mrs. Mule, known for her beauty, is also a top-tier magician. To her, this boy was a mystery.

His mana is so vast that it's bottomless, and despite the pressure she's been applying to him, he hasn't flinched at all. In a way, he's a heretic.

Intuitively, she thought that Rebrant was probably hiding this boy. However, she understood that pressing further would be a bad move, so she decided to back off. She resolved to have him monitored from the shadows.

"See you again, Owl."

After that, Rebrant had discussions with a few villagers and left Oren Village.

This was the moment when Owl first caught the eye of a noble. It also became the beginning of the gradual attention he would receive in the future.

I'll update a little at a time.

I'd be happy if you could rate and bookmark it.
