Episode 3
China Yunsbelia (3)
[Haa… …. So you have no intention of throwing away your sword?]
“I guess so.”
The boy continued, scratching his head.
“Because I’ve spent half my life holding a sword. In fact, even the professors at the academy told me that my talent wasn’t bad… … .”
[… … .]
okay.
Unfortunately, if this were to happen, I would only have one choice left.
If I insist too strongly now, there is a risk that things will go wrong.
After 300 years, you finally find someone worthy of owning it, but what if things go wrong?
It was absolutely horrible.
I couldn’t even imagine waiting any longer than this.
So, even if my pride was hurt, I had no choice but to let it all out here.
There was no other way.
[Yeah, I’ve seen it a lot! A magician! How about a magician! Hold a sword with one hand! Cast magic with the other hand!]
“Ugh… … .”
Magic swordsman.
This was the best compromise I could come up with.
It was a bit concerning that he wasn’t a pure magician, but after all, a magician is an extension of a magician.
And you never know.
Who knows, maybe that boy will fall in love with the allure of magic while walking the path of a swordsman?
If done well, there was also the possibility of raising the boy into a pure wizard.
The boy is happy because he can use the sword he wanted.
I’m glad I can once again raise the wizard I wanted to be.
Killing two birds with one stone.
My sister is good and my brother-in-law is good.
It could not have been anything other than a perfect compromise, rivaling the wisdom of Solomon.
“Hmm, a magician, a magician… … .”
Could it be that it somehow communicated with my heart?
The boy, who had been deeply contemplating, finally opened his mouth and answered.
“… … It’s totally cool, isn’t it?”
[Good! Very good!]
Done!
Finally success!
This was my first time with such a picky owner, but I was finally able to convince him.
Now it was time to fulfill the contract.
[Okay! Then now, unfold my cover! If you do that, I will make you a legendary magician… … no, a magic swordsman who will go down in history!]
“all right!”
The boy lifted me up with bright, expectant eyes.
The moment he unfolds my cover, the contract will be automatically executed.
From then on, I was given a kind of magical “authority” to teach that boy. A “bond” was also created that allowed us to interact until the owner died.
So from that very moment… … .
My ‘Raising a Wizard’ is starting again after 300 years.
Slurp─.
The boy carefully turned the page. Then, a golden pattern appeared in the air and landed gently on the boy’s body.
Paaaaat─!
[… … .]
“… … .”
I feel like a subtle bond is forming between us for some reason.
The contract was thus concluded.
It also meant my eternal farewell to the 300 years of lonely waiting I had endured.
[Okay! Okay!]
I screamed and went crazy with the crazy sense of liberation.
[I really did it! Finally! After holding on and holding on! Finally!]
I was happy. I was so happy that I had never been this happy since I was born.
[Whoa! Damn it! I’m finally getting out of this fucking bookshelf! This rotten corner tank!]
But unlike me, who was endlessly happy, the boy’s expression looked dark for some reason.
Whatever.
The boy’s mood was none of my business right now.
Right now, all I have to do is enjoy the freedom of liberation to my heart’s content.
“Ahhh… … .”
[… … ?]
But no matter how much time passed, the boy’s expression showed no sign of brightening.
Rather, his expression became even more gloomy than before.
Why are you doing that?
Make people anxious.

Feeling slightly strange, I tried to hide my anxiety and spoke to the boy.
[Hey. Now you are going to be a great magician, no, a swordsman, so why are you so exhausted? What is the problem?]
“Ah… … . That… … . Just a moment.”
I’m anxious.
There’s something really unsettling about this.
“Ah, this… … . I’m sorry about this, what should I do?”
And as if to prove that my ominous premonition was not wrong, the boy who had been hesitating soon let out a shocking sound.
“Master Magician, I thought about it again and I really don’t think magic will work. I’m really sorry.”
[… … ?]
No, crazy.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Just now you said that the magician was cool too.
“Actually, I come from a family of knights.”
[… … ?]
“If they find out that you’ve learned magic, you could be kicked out of the family… … .”
[ah.]
But I couldn’t help but spit out a sigh at the boy’s subsequent response.
A foreign language.
This was really a one-sided move.
The fact that the relationship between the magician family and the knight family was extremely bad was common knowledge to everyone living in this world.
The knights looked down on the magicians who worshipped mana, calling them sorcerers steeped in witchcraft.
On the contrary, wizards used to curse such knights, calling them brainless idiots.
This custom has continued within the empire for hundreds of years.
In the meantime, the knight learns magic?
This could be said to be an atrocity that would have been beyond words even if the knight had been struck from his family register.
… … But fuck.
[So what do you want me to do?]
“yes……?”
I had absolutely no intention of understanding the relationship between the magician’s family and the knight’s family.
300 years.
It’s been a whole 300 years.
After waiting for so many years in vain, such trivial matters were none of my concern.
[You just need to get kicked out of your family, you punk! What’s the problem! A great wizard… … No, you can become a great and cool swordsman! Can’t a great man handle that?]
“Huh? Ah… … . But that’s a bit… … .”
[Are you afraid of your father? Are you afraid that if you say you want to learn magic, you’ll get beaten to death?]
The boy hesitated for a moment after hearing what I said, then answered.
“Uh… … . That, that too exists.”
[It’s okay! Learn magic secretly from me for just half a year! Then you’ll become ten times stronger than your father?]
“Uh, umm… … .”
[Then your father starts beating you? It’s okay! Just cast a spell right away!]
“Yes, yes? No. Now, wait a minute. Why am I attacking my father?”
It seems that our good boy is reluctant to become a filial son of the fire attribute. I quickly suggested a new alternative.
[Yeah. You don’t want to fight each other as rich people, do you? Then why don’t you try persuading each other?]
“… … .”
[How about a simple letter? If you’re not confident in your handwriting, I can write it for you. I’m incredibly good at persuading people.]
But the boy showed a negative attitude to my bold proposal.
“I, I’m really sorry. My father is not a person who can be persuaded… … .”
[… … .]
“… … .”
A moment of silence passes.
“Ah, ah! Ma, that’s right! I’ll introduce you to another cadet from the academy I know! Then, wouldn’t it be okay to make a new contract with that kid? Ha, haha, there used to be a way like that, but until now… … .”
[no…….]
“yes……?”
[No! No! No! Absolutely not, you punk!]
He shouted with anger boiling up from his whole body.
[Once a contract is made, a new contract cannot be made until the owner dies! Because the contract is bound immediately after it is made!]
“iced coffee….”
Why do you want to say that this is a knight?
“I’m sorry… … .”
[Even though I’m told to just abandon my family, I can’t even abandon my family! I keep mumbling and the only answer I get is that I can’t! What the hell! What did I do wrong! Huh? What did I do wrong, you damn swordsman!]
“That… … . I’m really, really sorry… … . I lost my senses for a moment because of one nice word from a swordsman… … .”
[Are you sorry? Are you sorry? Are you sorry? F*ck! That’s why you say that swordsmen are worse than wizards! I waited for 300 years! Do you know? I waited for 300 fucking long years!]
“I’m really, really sorry… … .”
[What on earth did I do wrong! What on earth did I do wrong! Did I do something bad to you? Am I the enemy of your parents? But why on earth did you give me hope and then take it away! Why on earth!]
“I, I’m sorry… … . I’m really sorry… … . So, please, calm down now… … .”
[Haa… … . Haa… … .]
After swearing profusely, I took a deep breath.
In the first place, I didn’t need to breathe because it was a book, but, well, I just did it because I felt like it.
I feel like this will help my anger subside a little.
“Ah… … . I, I’m really sorry. I was short-sighted. I’m really, really sorry… … .”
And just in time.
“Me, me… … .”
Taking advantage of my pause, the boy began to offer a heartfelt apology-
“Hey, you crazy bookworm! What right do you have to insult me!”
[… … .]
Correct it.
It wasn’t an apology, it was a rash.
Plague.
“Not only did you insult my father, but you also ignore the article at every turn! You also ignore our family at every turn!”
[No, what… …?]
“Hey, that’s enough, shit!”
BAM─!
The boy, sobbing and screaming, slammed me back into the bookshelf.
[Hey! Wait a minute… … !]
“You said earlier that it had been stuck on the bookshelf for 300 years?”
The boy looked at me and muttered.
“That’s great! You can last for 300 years, so you can’t wait for me to die?”
[No! Hey! Wait! Hey! You! No way!]
no.
That can’t be true.
No matter how vicious that boy is, he is a swordsman… … .
“Goodbye. Please find the next contractor after I am dead.”
[Hey! Hey you son of a bitch! You can’t do that to me! Hey! Hey!!!]
Whoosh─!
But despite my heartbreaking cries, the boy turned his back without mercy.
His back gradually disappears into the distance.
A desperate situation.
The ecstatic sense of liberation I had felt for the first time in 300 years was gradually fading away from me.
The stuffy, sticky feeling that was creeping up again made me anxious.
[Whew, calm down… … . Let’s calm down… … .]
But that’s okay. There was still hope.
Because I had a last resort.
The power of magical “authority” given to me when I fulfill a contract with the owner.
If I used this, the boy would have no choice but to temporarily follow my orders, even if he didn’t like it.
This “authority” was a powerful and coercive restriction.
[Stop! Stop right there! I’m saying this with the power of my “authority”! Stop right there!]
“What are you saying… … .”
But this last hope of mine was about to be shattered again.
shit.
This is really screwed.
My “authority” is not working.
I don’t know the reason, but I can only guess that it was because it had been so long since I had performed a contract that my abilities had failed.
[Oh, no… … .]
So now, really.
All that remained was to wait for the boy to die, and then find a new contractor.
[No! Just die! Die! Put your head on the ground and die right now! Die, you damn swordsman! … !]
But at that very moment.
Swish―.
“uh?”
It was as if I had been under the spell of Gliss.
The boy stepped on a piece of paper rolling on the floor and slipped.
Boom─!
[… … ?]
Gulp.
A huge amount of crimson blood flowed down his head in an instant.
[Uh, uh uh uh… … ?]
“… … .”
Did my “authority” work?
Or was the boy really just unlucky?
I didn’t know the exact reason.
But one thing is certain… … .
[Hey, the bond is loose?]
… … That was the fact that the boy was dead.
