Episode 50
The little boy looks up at the sky again with a smiling face.
Fireworks continue to explode and light up the sky.
The fireworks didn’t mean much to me, but it must have felt a little different to our little one.
Charlotte was looking up at the sky with slightly teary eyes, true to the original meaning of the fireworks festival, which celebrates the beginning of a new life.
So, as I was looking up at the sky, I suddenly remembered.
tomorrow.
Tomorrow night is the full moon.
“It’s tomorrow, Master.”
[What are you talking about?]
“It’s the day the full moon rises.”
[… … .]
The teacher said nothing.
But that’s that, first we need to prepare.
Soon the fireworks ended, and I stood up with Charlotte and my teacher.
Then I went into a nearby store.
Underwear specialty shop.
As I entered, a woman in her mid-30s hanging underwear on a mannequin asked me.
“Oh, dear? Are you lost? This is not a place for children.”
I didn’t bother to respond.
“The top is 70G size, and the bottom is… … um.”
I looked around the underwear in the store and pointed at one with my finger.
“I think that would be just right.”
“… …Is this a gift for you, sister?”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“38-23-36.”
“huh?”
“Three sizes. Do you have any underwear that fits above?”
The store manager’s eyes light up slightly.
“By the way, did I hear it right? 38-23-36?”
“You heard me correctly.”
“… … That ideal body type really exists? Let’s see, 70G is full, but with that chest and waist, it’s 23? Who are you kidding me?”
It actually exists.
It’s sitting on my shoulder too.
I turned my head slightly and saw my teacher looking at me with an unusually bewildered expression.
You have that look in your eyes like you’re asking how I know my three sizes.
There is no need to talk at length.

There is nothing I don’t know about the Master.
Let’s just smile and the teacher bursts into laughter.
“Oh, and the woman who will wear the underwear is about 171cm tall. If possible, I would like her to choose a design that is a bit plain but luxurious, and that comes as a top and bottom set.”
“… … What a truly unusual guest.”
“I hear this a lot. Do you have underwear that fits your size? Or not?”
“It’s not that there aren’t any, but they’re not cheap. As I said, underwear that fits that ideal body type, especially bras, are mostly for use on mannequins. You know? The word for display.”
The clerk smiles meaningfully.
“There are two sets made by a designer who is quite famous in the art city… … Kid. Do you have enough money?”
The store manager smiles brightly as I take out the bag containing the gold.
It’s the kind of thing where you can smell the money.

Kwaaang-!
Dietrich Hermann’s eyes glow eerily.
I reached out.
The chair is caught.
I threw it against the wall without hesitation.
Kwaaang-!!
Countless pieces of debris lay beneath the shattered shards of the chair.
“Ugh… … Ughh …
Kwaaang-!
Kwaaang-!
Dietrich broke every piece of furniture around him and threw anything he could get his hands on in every direction.
Dietrich was furious.
“Jack…
For a moment, I was overwhelmed by his appearance.
That fact was unbearable for Dietrich.
I was scared of that guy?
I didn’t say anything, but I leaked a little bit at that time.
shit.
“Children!

Dietrich raised his fist again.
My stomach is seething.
A mad murderous intent.
Dietrich finally drew his sword.
Then he started destroying everything around him.

A hot feeling burning in the chest.
I have no intention of cooling off, nor do I feel the need to cool off.
“Jack Valantier!!”
Crunch-!!
Dietrich shouts as if possessed by evil, breaking the table in front of him in two.
“I will do that to you! I will kill you!”
Chapter 2
The academy opens in exactly two days.
As I had guessed while watching the fireworks, most of the Academy students had already arrived at Ascendible.
As far as I know, there are about seven hundred students in the Academy, from the first to the fourth year.
More than half of them are staying in dormitories, while the rest are staying in inns within the city.
The reason is simple.
No matter how nice the dorm is, families can’t come inside the dorm.
Oh, the reason I’m talking like this is because I’m feeling dizzy right now.
I turn my head slightly and see Charlotte happily eating a hot dog.
A hot dog that is dyed very red.
It’s a new thing, but all that red sauce is my blood.
Not only that, but I’ve been sprinkling my blood on all the snacks Charlotte eats, so it’s making me dizzy.
“Is it delicious?”
“Hehe. Yes, boss.”
“Okay, as long as it tastes good, that’s fine.”
So, I took a quick look around the city and then headed towards the mansion.
A dark evening.
As you climb the hill, you will see a huge mansion.
It hasn’t even been a few days yet, but now it feels like home to me.
When I walked to the front gate, I stopped for a moment.
Should I say that it was forced to stop?
There was something in front of the main gate.
A dark, gloomy figure.
Narrowed my field of vision.
To be exact, a man was squatting with his back against the wall next to the main entrance.
A man with his face buried between his knees.
No, what the hell is that in front of someone else’s fence?
I looked into it a little more closely.
Muscles, physique. And bushy hair.

That was enough.
Thanos.
It’s definitely that kid.
Then the guy slowly raises his head.
Thanos spoke to me as he looked at me, who was holding a lot of things in my arms, and Charlotte, who was eating a red-stained hotdog in one hand.
“Can you please… stay with me for a few days?”
I ended up smiling faintly.
“As much as you want.”

Guinness, the chef who was organizing the ingredients, had to prepare dinner late.
Thick sirloin steak in a red wine sauce.
And organic vegetables for your health.
In less than ten minutes, the table was ready.
I looked at the food on the table with a slightly pleased expression.
At first glance, it looks quite delicious.
Although I filled my stomach watching the fireworks on the street, I guess I should say that my appetite naturally worked up.
I cut the steak, which was dripping with blood, into small pieces and put them in my mouth.
Just when I was about to chew it up.
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
Crying.
Thanos, on the other side, was chewing meat and crying.
I thought it was going to be precarious because he looked so gloomy from the beginning, but it looks like he finally exploded.
“Ugh… … .”
The cries that burst out little by little as if pouring out what had been suppressed were so desperate and sad.
It looks so desperate that you can’t even talk to it.
It was the same for Charlotte, who was sitting next to me, and for the Master, who was sitting on my shoulder.
That’s not all.
Even the chef who was filling my empty glass with tomato juice hesitated for a moment.
A strange atmosphere.
I didn’t pay any attention to Thanos and just focused on my meal.
however.
“Maybe it’s because I prepared it in a hurry, but the sauce in this dish is a bit spicy.”
Guinness, the quick-witted chef, looks at me with a strange look and smiles faintly.
“I see. I’ll adjust the speed a bit from now on.”
Why are you crying?
Advertisements
Why did you wait in front of the house?
I wonder what kind of feelings came out of that statement that he would stay with me for a few days.
And why are you so sad?
I didn’t ask.
Thanos’s crying didn’t stop until the meal was over.
* * *
“… … I made a disgrace.”
Those were the first words Thanos spoke to me when day broke.
“As people live, there are times when they feel sad, that’s just how it is.”
Thanos asks, wiggling his fingers in a way that is disproportionate to his size.
“Why… … aren’t you asking?”
Honestly, I’m a little curious.
but.
“Okay. I guess we all have a secret or two, but I don’t want to burden you unnecessarily.”
A consideration wider than the Black Sea.
I feel like the teacher sitting on my shoulder is looking at me with admiration.
Actually, when I turned my head, I saw that he was acting like a shit again and was shaking my head, but I just let it be.
“You know that you don’t have to attend the academy classes, right?”
“yes.”
“It doesn’t matter how many days or months you can stay here. The room you slept in yesterday should be fine, and if there’s anything else you want to eat, you know the chef from yesterday? His name is Guinness. You can ask him. And the five people watching me from outside are the Five Musketeers. You can call them one by one, three by four, because they came to watch me. If you want to be friends, be friends. If not, don’t.”
As the story continues, Thanos tilts his head.
“Wasn’t this the villa of the Marquis de Valanti?”
“Oh, no. It was originally a house to accommodate the distinguished guests of the Duke of Ascension. Now, it’s just a house that I received as a gift. Um… … Okay, let’s just call it a villa. I couldn’t think of a good word, but villa. Sounds good.”
Thanos, who understood roughly, nodded and went to one side of the parade ground, where he began swinging his sword like yesterday.
Of course, I treated the wounds on his body by giving him a potion before eating last night.
Oh, by any chance, was it because you were crying yesterday because you were worried about wasting the potion?
He turned his head away, smiling in vain.
Right in front of me, our little vampire boy stands at attention, wearing a training suit that’s too small for his petite frame.
Charlotte said last night.
I want to be good at fighting.
I answered that question.
Let’s start right away tomorrow.
So, let’s get started right away.
“Okay. Let’s start by making a mana circle.”
“Yes, boss!”

The 6th Circle wizard, who was Dietrich’s attendant and Jack judged to be his escort, asked Dietrich.
“Your Majesty, is this really okay?”
“Why? Can’t it be like this?”
The wizard lowers his head at the murderous gaze.
But no matter how much I think about it, this doesn’t seem right.
Last night, Dietrich had an accident.
It wasn’t an accident at the academy, but an accident that was sure to cause a big problem.
That night, Dietrich placed a request to a guild.
The name of that guild is Fentanyl.
On the surface, they claim to be a hunter’s guild that hunts monsters in the Demon Forest, but everyone who knows knows that they are.
The Fentanyl Guild is a group of assassins.
“I will kill that bastard. How dare you… … How dare you, how dare you!!”
Dietrich began to have a seizure, but the wizard remained silent this time as if this was a daily occurrence.
But in my mind, I still had the feeling that things could get really big.
Why is this a big deal?
It’s simple.
The Fentanyl Guild is one of the three major mercenary groups in the current Teslan Kingdom, and its guild master is one of less than twenty 9th Circle Mana users in the kingdom.
He is a true pro among pros, especially when it comes to handling daggers.
Dietrich made a request to these people.
The content is the assassination of Jack Valantier.
Assassinating a child of a noble family… … It’s easy to say, but it’s extremely rare for something like this to actually happen.
There were many things to keep in mind, starting with the relationships between the nobles.
This was bound to be a topic of discussion no matter what the outcome, and there was room for it to change due to a dispute between territories.
But would Dietrich, a real loser, care about such things?
To be more specific, Dietrich didn’t care if this matter escalated into a feud between the realms.
Marquis Hermann has a firm grip on the East.
He is called the Great Lord and has the largest land and the greatest power among the five marquises in the kingdom, so it is no wonder that he is worried.
