Until I, A Fallen Nobleman, Was Called the Great Sage With My Hazure Skill “Super Jack-of-All-Trades

Well, it’s been about a week since my brother successfully entered the school.

Of course, since there is a school in town, my brother who lives close by comes home every day, and this is always fun for him. This is what I’ve been hearing from him–

“Today we had a physical fitness test, and we went around and around on the ground, which is a well-maintained area. I did about six laps, but everyone was exhausted by the second lap. They’re not training hard enough.”

And ……

“I was surprised when I used magic ……. It’s easy to hit the target, right? It’s weird that it’s more difficult to maintain it.”

Or,

“There’s this kid who’s always complaining about me. He said, “You’re a wizard, right? I won’t lose in swordsmanship!” and he came charging to me. Lars told me to give it my all when it comes to that kind of thing, so I gave it my all. I’ve always had a good fight with Lars, but he’s easy to beat. Did he go easy on me? He said in his introduction that he wanted to be a swordsman adventurer. “

–So, my brother, who has only had contact with people his own age with me and Nord, has become a unique presence at the academy.

Well, he’s been training with me for the past five years, since I was five years old, and we’ve been through an extraordinary menu. Of course, there is no way that a nobleman’s lad who is just starting to build up his physical strength in class can keep up with him, and there is no way that a kid who is at the level of a neighborhood brat can come at him and win.

But I was worried.

“Is he okay? Did he end up hating you?”

“No. Everyone said I’m amazing! But I feel like there are a lot of girls here …… I don’t really want to be around girls because I’m afraid Nord will get mad at me ……”

“What an enviable problem ……”

“Huh?”

There is no bullying because of this. It may be because of his [Charisma] skill, but he is good looking even without being a relative, and he has a warm feeling that attracts girls to him. The guy also seemed to have his eye on him and was happy to have a new friend.

…… Whatever the case, it’s nice to stand out. I’m sorry to brother, but brother will be the one who will take over after I return my father to his position as the lord. There’s no harm in being liked by people.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing what my brother does in the future, so I started to work on getting into my own academy. The first thing I did was to see my father and mother. I took advantage of my brother’s absence to talk to them.

“Hey, Dad. You’ve lost some weight, haven’t you? Mom, too. And you haven’t changed your clothes lately, have you?”

“I, I don’t think so, Lars.”

“Hey, hey, Roen.”

“Hmmmm. I’m eight years old, remember? You have less sausage, less bread, less meat and fish than us, right? I’m worried about you guys. I don’t have to go to the academy if it makes you guys hungry, okay?”

When I said that, they crossed their arms with a complicated look on their faces, thought for a while, and then opened their mouths.

“Lars, I want you to do the same thing as Dedite. If your brother goes and you don’t, I think Dedite will be shocked. So you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Hmmm, but I like my dad and mom. I’d be more shocked if Dad and Mom collapses, you know? So, I want you to have the same food as us. You won’t die even if you don’t buy clothes, but you can die without nutrition.”

“Nutrition, you say …… you’re such difficult words, Lars. You’re a smart kid, and I want you to go to the academy.”

My father held me in his arms and said this with a big smile on his face. I was happy to see that his expression was not distressed.

“Yes. It’s not that I don’t want to go too. So I’ll work! I’ll do work in town! Then Mom and Dad won’t have to eat less for you guys, right?”

“What!? No, you can’t do that. Making a child work …… L-Look, you’re going to study magic at Veran’s place, right?”

Mom hurriedly said this. But I’ve already done the groundwork.

“I’ve already gotten permission from teacher! Verna-sensei also said, “It’s good for social studies, isn’t it?”.”

“…… You look strangely like her …… Then I’ll go check it out!”

“Okay.”

And then my mom went to Verna-sensei’s place. But Verna-sensei, who knew about my situation, gave me the go-ahead to work in town.

“Lars-kun is a good student, after all. So I’m sure he’ll be able to do his job well.”

“Oh, is that right, ……?”

“Yes. It seems that you didn’t want Lars-kun and Dedite-kun to go to the town for some reason, but at eight years old, some of them are working for the guild as harvesters, so I thought it was about time.”

“Hmmmm …… I wonder if Brao will mess with him …… but, you’re right.”

In the end, she agreed to I only accept requests from the guild. The reason being that some adults may look down on a child when they help them with a personal task.

However, Verna-sensei said that the Guild requests’ are safe because they are instructed to pay for their work, even if it is with children. I heard that the guild keeps a record of your work with a guild card or something like that.

I’ve already been to the guild with my dad.

“Sorry, can I have a word?”

“Welco- …… wait, if it isn’t Roen-san, it’s been a while. What are you doing here in this dumpy place?”

When Dad approached the counter, a kind-looking blue-haired man with glasses saw him and hurriedly straightened up his appearance.

“Haha, there’s nothing I can do for you here, after all. It’s not too much to ask, is it? Thanks to the members of the guild, we’ve been able to reduce the threat from demons, and they take care of the town’s chores so we can live in peace.”

“I’m glad to hear you say that. As expected, Roen-san got it–.”

“Gibson.”

“Oh, I’m sorry …… what can I do for you today ……?”

…… Do the townspeople know that my father was the lord after all? I stopped because they didn’t want people to know, but I already know, though. As I followed my father with my eyes, the man called Gibson opened his mouth.

“My son wants to get a job. …… I told him he could play, but he wouldn’t listen.”

“Hahaha. It’s tough being a father.”

“I’m Lars! Nice to meet you!”

Gibson-san turned to me, and I bowed my head in greeting.

“I’m Gibson. As you can see, I’m the receptionist for the guild. If you want to work, you’ll need to talk to me first, Pleased to work with you.”

“Yes!”

“I think I’ll escort you today and do some requests too. Lars, you’ll start by making the cards.”

“Do you have it with you, Roen-san?”

“Yeah, I pulled it out ……. I miss the days when I got hurt trying to hunt demons to make money …… I wasn’t cut out for it ……”

“You can’t kill demons with [Fertility], after all ……”

I’m sure it’s an episode about the hardships my father went through after he was deposed as a lord. My Dad’s a handsome man who’s not a fighter by the looks of him. Well, my brother and I are too because we have the same blood running. 

I listened to Gibson-san’s explanation, thinking that fighting demons would worry me and that I should refrain from doing so for now.

Now then, the childhood continues for a little while longer, so please bear with me ……

Thank you for reading!

“It’s finally starting to feel like it ……”

I hope it’s not too silly ……
