I was reincarnated as a famous genius with the greatest talent ever. Episode 266
172. East, Battle for Earth (1)
The way back.
I thought about stopping by our castle, but the number of people increased too much and problems could arise, so I decided to just keep going.
There was no need to worry about food.
In the first place, a lot of dry food and ingredients were piled up in the subspace, so it was enough to feed nearly 20 people.
And is it because they have only lived deep in the jungle so far?
We gave a thumbs up even to foods that weren’t that special to us.
In particular, desserts were very popular.
“… … “Do you have any more tarts?”
“I don’t even have enough to eat.”
“It’s so delicious… … .”
“There are other things besides tarts.”
“Really?”
Due to the jungle environment, it is difficult to obtain things such as sugar, and even if livestock farming is carried out, it is done on a small scale.
Therefore, it will be difficult to obtain milk or the butter derived from it.
Of course, desserts filled with butter and sugar are a whole new world for them.
“If I go to the Empire, will I be able to eat things like this every day?”
“If you work hard and make a lot of money.”
“I definitely have to do that.”
I think the next time we meet, you’ll probably have gained a lot of weight.
Well, tarts are always right.
There is nothing in the world as delicious as tarts.
Anyway, surprisingly, the apostles stayed in line and were with us without any major incidents.
This is thanks to the good guidance of the female apostle who took the lead in leaving.
“Dane… … Can I call you that? name? anyway. I have a question. “Are you really not going to kick us out of the empire?”
“It’s up to you. I don’t really discriminate or anything. Unless they are of a different race.”
“Right. It’s different from what I heard. mother… … You said that the empire is very cruel and without blood or tears.”
I chuckled at those words.
Well, yes, depending on the situation.
“And because he’s a wizard. “Wizards are rare, and wizards who enter the Magic Tower are even rarer.”
“is it… … Wizard. Magic. I really don’t like it. “We’ve lived our whole lives thinking it was witchcraft.”
“It’s enough to know from now on.”
They saw the outside world they had longed for so much.
The Magic Tower is gaining new manpower.
Thanks to you, Seed Lane is happy and dying.
I owe another debt to Seedlane.
Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone, being good to your sister and good to your brother-in-law, and getting magic stones and pharmaceutical business, which is a win-win situation?
I gained a lot from this adventure.
“we are… … “Then I guess I owe you a favor.”
“I’m glad you know.”
At my reaction, the apostle was dazed for a moment and then chuckled.
“I will repay that favor in any form. “Thank you for letting us go outside and providing us with a home.”
“The nest can be grateful to the seed rain, and that’s right. Well, I’ll get it someday.”
Anyway, I realized one thing for a moment.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
“… … .”
At those words, the apostle became speechless for a moment.
Then, with great difficulty, I opened my mouth.
“When I was young, I was called ‘Diwena.’”
“What about when you were young?”
“okay. And after being taken away by her mother… … “It was called ‘Number 2.’”
Well, he was an old man who couldn’t be used.
They call me by name and number.
It’s not some kind of army.
It means that they were not treated as human beings at all.
Now that I see her being made to call me ‘mother’, the room for sympathy disappears even more.
“Now that I’m out in the world… … Maybe we need a new name. “Because it’s a memory I want to forget, because it’s a memory I want to forget.”
“Don’t you miss your family?”
Diwena, or rather the one whose name I haven’t decided on yet, let out a bitter laugh at my question.
“Not everyone has their child taken away like that parent named Letake.”
“then… … .”
“There are cases where people voluntarily hand it over after being promised compensation. like me.”
The guy sighed.
“So not really. I have no regrets. “If I had regrets, I would have stayed in the village.”
“is it.”
You need a family, too.
Well, it might be difficult for me to help.

“I will definitely help you next time I see you.”
“Go and tell me then.”
“… … I get it.”
Anyway, thanks to that, the road wasn’t boring.
The other apostles also seemed to be asking various questions about our group.
“Hoo, is this a bow? “It’s different from what we wrote.”
“What a great item this is. Look, it’s really elastic… … .”
“Ohhhh.”
Thanks to this, Ernest, who really enjoys explaining things to others, seemed very excited.
“Divine power? god? “What kind of god does the empire worship?”
“there is. “A great and nasty man in many ways.”
“… … “Is it okay to blaspheme God like that?”
“If I was in a bad mood, I would have struck down lightning right now. You’re fine, right? “It’s a bit like that, but he’s a good guy, so I can trust him.”
… … Priscilla was making remarks that risked creating atheists.
Some seemed interested in the academy.
“It’s an institution that does math. “How do I get in there?”
“First of all, you have to be sure of your identity. “I also need money.”
“iced coffee… … . “Then it won’t be easy for us.”
“You won’t know anything if you work hard at the Magic Tower.”
“really? “I’ll have to work hard.”
Suddenly a thought like that comes to mind.
What if in a past life… … .
If I had been able to go out into the world after being appointed a special knight without dying, would I have looked like that?
There is no point in making this assumption now, but I was just curious.
It doesn’t matter because in this life, I am relieving all my resentment from my previous life.
“But what on earth are you? how… … How did you so easily scare your mother, who none of us even thought would confront her? “Was her mother weak by imperial standards?”
“No, rather he is strong. “The person you called mother was a powerful person who would be treated well wherever she went in the Imperial Magic Tower.”
“… … “So that means you are a greater person than that.”
Did that sound like bragging?
What do you think?
It’s something worth bragging about.
“I’m becoming more and more curious about the empire.”
I shrugged my shoulders at his words.
It won’t be that much fun.
Life in this world is not easy.
Especially if you are a stranger.
Still, it seems like I’m expecting a lot now… … .
I’ll have to keep it a secret that Seedrain is very excited about taking on novice wizards.
* * *
There was some delay as the apostles could hardly ride horses, but we were able to meet Sidrein shortly after passing the count’s castle.
“Have you seen this amazing little boy?”
As expected, Sidrain was ready to hug me and kiss me as soon as he saw me.
For some reason, it reminds me of the chase when we first met.
“Well done, well done! What on earth are you doing? So many wizards are coming to our magic tower at once! “This is a blessing!”
“It will take some time to make it usable.”
“What’s the big deal? “With just a little effort, 10 wizards will join our magic tower!”
“Well, I’m glad you think so.”
Afterwards, Seidlane was curious, so I provided him with the basic outline of the situation.
Of course, quite naturally, Sidlane paid attention to Annabelle’s research.
“… … Is that real? huh? “Is there a possibility?”
“We should try it later. “Because the core material is the problem.”
“… … .”
Seedrain suddenly grabbed both of my shoulders with a solemn expression.
“If you make it… … “I will listen to anything you say from now on.”
Why?
Is it because the sun is brighter today?
Sid Lane’s smooth hair looked particularly dazzling.
Although I didn’t really know how he felt, I was also saddened and nodded.
“Let’s give it a try.”
“… … good. And once it’s completed, you won’t have to worry about money for the rest of your life.”
I wonder if this is going to save money to build a real country.
Anyway, I will consider selling it as soon as it is completed. For now, going to the East is more important.
“I’ll see you again in the capital soon, kid.”
Seedrain returned with ten apostles, or rather, stranger magicians from the jungle who would now belong to the Magic Tower.
And after arriving in the capital, our group decided to split up for a while.
“I’m absolutely okay. “It’s okay if we stay together throughout the vacation.”
“hmm. I think it will be difficult for me anymore. “I have to go to Daesinjeon.”
“me too. “I have to go back to the academy and prepare my graduation thesis.”
“I am… … “I think I need to visit the family for a while.”
Ernest decided to follow, and Priscilla, Altur, and Jenna decided to split up here.
The same goes for Dorian and Griffin.
“Teacher, I have to go back and take care of the kids in our physical beauty club.”
“It would be fun to report on the eastern part, but I also have to visit my family for a while.”
So, the three original members gathered together after a long time.
“It’s been a while since the three of us moved around?”
“I know. Is this vacation so fun? But what about after you go and meet Leila’s eldest brother?”
“Let’s take a look around the East Coast and then come back. “I heard there’s a really big valley there, so I think it would be nice to come and see it.”
The purpose this time is to see Leila’s eldest brother for a while.
For reference, the eastern part is currently the battlefield where local warfare is taking place.
So of course I couldn’t go deep into the place, so I decided to take a quick look at the nearby village.
I feel a little strange as I get closer to Drenik, but that’s what it is and this is what it is.
“I’m quite excited. “Because I’m seeing my eldest brother for the first time in several years.”
“You said you left as soon as you graduated, right?”
“huh. At the same time, he said that he would rather contribute to the empire than continue the succession… … .”
A patriot who would have been coveted by the emperor.
I’m not being sarcastic, I’m being sincere.
As the eldest son of the empire’s highest noble family, how easy would it be to make such a choice?
“Of course, my father plans to bring me back to the family. “Because it’s too dangerous there.”
“I know. I can’t imagine, Leila. What is the battlefield like? Dan, isn’t that the case for you too?”
Instead of answering, I just equivocated.
“well.”
I do not know.
This is where I was born and raised in my past life… … .
This is my first time meeting you in this life.
So I’m not sure how it will feel.
It would be best not to see it if possible.
Still, it’s a battlefield.
“But then the war isn’t over? What if there is a local war going on?”
Meanwhile, when Ernest asked, Leila shook her head.
“It’s officially over. However, I heard that they are maintaining a reasonable level of local warfare. “Both sides are trying to find an excuse.”
“Why are you doing this? “Wasn’t it over when it was over?”
“well. “Isn’t it because there are barbarians there, so it’s good to make a cause, and there are people who will be happy if the war doesn’t end?”
Leila has also become much sharper.
That’s right.
Even if a party is held in the capital to announce the end of the war, the front line is different.
Local warfare is often dismissed as a ‘fist fight’… … .
Above all, there is a good cause that the ‘barbarians’ are the enemies of both empires.
Of course, even if it is a fierce battlefield, we will not be involved.
No, there shouldn’t be one.
Even if it is a local war, the scale of the war is too large, right?
All you have to do is go see Leila’s eldest brother, take a look around the East Coast, and then come back.
by the way-
“Aren’t you all tired?”
“huh? I’m tired? Dane, are you tired?”
“Oh my god, did Dane mention that he was tired?”
One boy wants to see his eldest brother.
It makes me laugh to see that one guy is so excited about ‘exploring’ the East that he forgets about his fatigue.
So do I.
“Could you be tired?”
by the way-
What is that guy who has been following us since we returned to the capital?
I don’t feel any intention to attack, but I think it’s worth finding out what kind of guy it is.
“Dane, what’s wrong?”
“no. nothing. “Let’s go get ready.”
I winced at the gaze I felt from behind.
Well then, let’s see how far I can chase you?
