Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho

"No, I'm sorry. Looks like you surprised me."

Mr. Claude, at the same time, lifts me up and puts me in the seat next to him.

It is a form that is sandwiched between you and the other one.

And he picked up the hard bread that fell and let me hold it.

The handling of children is familiar. Is it still Loricon? Is it Loricon?

I cage my stiff bread but do not fail to be vigilant to Mr. Claude.

"But I'm glad. I thought you were dead because you didn't really react like a doll after you bought it. I have eyes, I don't focus, I don't talk about anything, I'll talk if I give you rice, but I'll just have a bite or two. Oh, I'm so glad."

So, you pump my head and you look satisfied.

Were you so vexed that you were worried about me? In me, it's been about half a day since I was bought out, but from what Mr. Claude said, maybe it's been a whole day.

"I was worried about you. By the way, how long has it been since I left the village?

"Oh! You speak clearly! That's a good thing! It's been about a week since I left the village."

Mr. Claude said something shocking, satisfied with each and every one of my reactions.

A week?

I don't feel that way at all. I don't remember.

Were you so shocked, me? Now you've reached some sort of giving up frontier, or vice versa, you even feel easier. But if you think about it, I'm only a 5 year old. I guess I needed time to give up a lot.

"That... that really worried me. By the way, I was sold, but what are we going to do?

"Yeah, you're just wondering. Actually, I want you to do this! I just want to declare that I haven't decided what I want you to do yet. Well, once you plan on getting me to come to my parents' house... Before I do, I'd like to ask you, you're definitely a kid who invented a thousand toothpicks, right?

"Inventions, or, well, yeah"

I actually invented it a long time ago, but omitted it because the explanation is also cumbersome.

Looks like Mr. Claude was satisfied with my response, and he nodded a lot more than once with a relieved face.

"For once, come to my parents' house and have them live. There's an aristocratic boy about your age there, so I think you're going to have to deal with him. So after a little, a lot of studying and letting me see your life, I decide on my future policy. Maybe my sister will like you and buy you out, and maybe I'll just keep using you for a little while, and... well, like that."

Well, if you can work in a decent mansion, you seem a lot better treated than you might have imagined. You might want to get on the carriage without running away like this and go to Mr. Claude's home.

I wonder if he's a nobleman. They say you have a nobleman at home.

"Is Lord Claude a nobleman?

In response to that question, I felt Mr. Claude's face was slightly overshadowed, but he immediately answered me.

"No, I'm not noble. My parents are aristocratic, but even if I was born into an aristocratic family, when I grew up, I would cease to be aristocratic if I could not use magic. In my case, I was studying merchants, so I could be a quasi nobleman named Merchant, but the title of my parents is to be succeeded by my sister, who had magical qualities. It's my sister's children you deal with, two of them, and one of them can use magic, so she's a real kid who can stay aristocratic even when she grows up."

"If you can't use magic, do you mean you can't be noble?

"That's the thing. Speaking of which, you grew up in a rural area, so you don't know much about nobility. Briefly, I can't be a nobleman unless I'm a wizard, as you said earlier. It's basically hereditary whether or not you have magical qualities, so someone with that qualities took over the territory. Anything that was born into a noble house, but did not benefit from magical qualities, can become noble if you marry some noble wizard. My brother is. My brother goes out to his son-in-law and becomes a nobleman who controls the territory where your village was. Your brother told me about your information, your toothpicks and your fishtrake tools. Although my brother didn't believe that the children of the village invented it."

Ho, would it have been such a rumor if I had? Looks like some people don't believe it.

Once, let Mr. Claude take care of himself. I think I can live much better than running away like this.

In case the folks at Mr. Claude's parents find out that he has a terrible personality and a harsh working environment, you just have to run away then. This guy is so careless, it won't matter.

Then all of a sudden Mr. Claude began clamoring the bags loaded behind him, and took out the book.

"By the way, can you read and write?

I don't know. If it was a letter I learned in my previous life, maybe I could... I looked at the cover of the book that Mr. Claude had taken out earlier and it had a symbol that I had never seen. Probably the letter of this world. I don't know.

"No, I can't"

"You bet! For a moment I thought you already remembered the letters because the words are so fluent, because there is no education for the letters in the countryside. Just in case, I'm bringing a book. I'll let you read it by the time we get to the mansion, so I want you to remember the letters a little bit."

So he lifted me as I caged the bread, put it on my own knees, and spread the book in front of me.

When I looked at the book, there was a line of letters I had never seen. Apparently this is the letter of the other world.

Mr. Claude gave me a slow phonetic reading.

It doesn't look like a bad person.
