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

This is what I mean when I say I’ve done it.

There are not many people who can use ancient magic, and there are not many people who can fly. It’s impossible for a mere child to do such a feat.

But I did it. Of all people, not my family, not my teacher, not even Nord, but in front of Mizuki-san, whom I just met ……

When I landed on the ground, she was staring at me with a puzzled expression on her face. I started the conversation to get things going, but what should I say ……

“Oh, Er …….”

“What the hell are you ……?”

Almost at the same time, we opened our mouths and I continued talking. I’m going to try to simplify and disguise my explanation.

“I can use all kinds of magic. Just now, that is …… Right! I used magic twice to jump!”

Look, I said, shooting at my feet and using the earth-based magic of “undulation,” a spell that sinks or rises the ground, to bring it right back and making it look like your float. 

This is the magic that got me into so much trouble for digging a pit, by the way. Then, Mizuki-san agreed with me with a hand motion.

“So that’s how it works. But you’re still so young, aren’t you? If your parents aren’t wizards, you usually can’t use magic until you learn it at the academy. What do your parents do for a living?”

“My Dad grows vegetables in the fields. My Mom sells medicines made from herbs. My house is at the top of the hill.”

Did I manage to deceive her? As I was thinking this, Mizuki-san opened her eyes wide, grabbed me by the shoulders and shouted.

“What! So Lars-kun is the son of Roen-sama ……! No wonder you’re so cute … N, no, I thought you had a dignified face and were very polite!”

“Do you know my father?”

“Yes. Of course, my parents also know him …… When Roen-sama was the Lord, I had a certain illness that made me collapse when I was very young. At that time, I received Marianne-sama’s medicine for free, and I was saved. It is thanks to Roen-sama that I am able to be an adventurer like this ……”

I had no idea that such a thing had happened. It’s not surprising that there are episodes like that because I’m sure my dad and mom would never ignore helping someone in need. My parents are very kind.

Huh?　But when my brother was two years old, he was removed from the position of the lord, which means it was even earlier than eight years ago.

“How old are you, Mizuki-san?”

“Wha-!? …… Lars-kun, you shouldn’t ask a woman her age so casually. Girls will hate you for it, okay?”

“Oh, really? I’m somehow sorry ……”

“We, well, I don’t mind! I’m eighteen, by the way.”

“What!?”

When I was surprised, Mizuki-san narrowed her eyes and stared at me.

“What does that “what” mean? Can you tell your sister?”

“N, no, I just thought you’re so mature ……”

Is that the right answer? I think it’s better than “You’re younger than I thought”, but I wonder!? As I waited for an answer with my heart pounding, Mizuki-san nodded her head in satisfaction, took my hand, and walked off into town.

“I’ve been told that a lot. Now, let’s go back. Gufufu ……”

“Y-Yeah……”

For some reason, Mizuki-san was holding my hand and smiling the whole time as we walked. I wonder if she was that happy that I called her mature?

At any rate, I was relieved that she didn’t mention anything about magic, and after reporting to the guild, I went back home. At that time, Mizuki-san also gave me a thousand beryls because she had gone with me to subjugate the monsters. I didn’t know what she meant by comfort payment, but I decided to take what I could get and put it in my leather pouch that I use as a wallet.

The academy will be over soon, should i go home with my brother?

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

“Mizuki, you’re in a very good mood, aren’t you?”

“Does it show? No, because he’s really so cute! I love little boys because they have such innocent eyes! …… Cough, I love it.”

“You don’t have to change your tone in front of me, do you? But as expected of Roen-san’s son, he’s smart and polite, isn’t he? What do you think he will do in the future? I heard that his skills are [Jack-of-all-Trades], which is a little disappointing ……”

When Gibson said, “It would be great if you could stay with the guild”, Mizuki said to Gibson in a hushed voice.

“……. Is the master here?”

“He’s up there, what’s wrong?”

“There’s something I’d like to tell you about Lars-kun–“

Gibson, curious about the strange expression on Mizuki’s face, went upstairs with her and knocked on the Guild Master’s door.

“Okay”

“Excuse me.”

Oh, Gibson and …… Mizuki-chan? What’s wrong with you? It’s not like you to be surrounded by old men.”

“Excuse me ……. It’s not that I like little boys ……”

“Kuku, I only said that for you to be surrounded by old men, though? Well, have a seat,……, and?”

The guildmaster looked at Gibson and Mizuki, and Mizuki opened her mouth.

“…… Does Hauzen-sama know Lars-kun?”

“Lars ……?　Yes, I heard about him from Gibson. He’s Roen-san’s second son, right! I hear he’s a very energetic boy?”

“I went with him today to kill slimes, but–“

Mizuki told the guild master, Hauzen, that Lars had flown and that his magic skills were not bad. She was not fooling around at all, though, of course.

Gibson’s eyes widened in surprise, while Hazsen folded his arms and listened to Mizuki’s story with his mouth agape. After some thought, Hauzen said to Mizuki and Gibson.

“I wonder if Roen-san knows about this?”

“He seemed to know that Lars-kun’s power is strong when it comes to chopping wood. But his skill is [Jack-of-all-Trades], and chopping wood is something he does over and over again, so I think that’s it ……But he may not know about ancient magic ……”

“Is Lars-kun strong as well ……?”

When Mizuki murmurs, Hauzen slaps his knee and then makes a suggestion to the two of them. 

“I’m not going to do anything right now.”

“What? Are you sure?”

“Yes. If he’s trying to deceive Mizuki, there may be some reason for that. Children of that age usually like to boast about their abilities, but he didn’t. If he doesn’t want to tell you, it would be boorish to ask, right? But we do need to keep an eye on him to make sure he’s not in danger. If he ever goes out of town, keep an eye on him.”

“I understand. I’ll tell the other adventurers about it.”

Gibson said and left the table, and Hauzen nodded and looked after them. But in his heart…

“(If Roen-sama’s son has power, perhaps he can regain his position as the lord. No, Roen-sama may not have told him that he was a lord so as not to worry him …… I’d like to drag Brao down somehow, but ……)”

There were many who were unhappy with the current lord, Brao, and the guildmaster was one of them. Hausen suspected that there was something behind the change, but he couldn’t find any evidence at the time.

“(That’s all well and good, I’ve heard he’s an energetic kid, but what kind of kid is he? It seems like he comes here every day, maybe I should meet him in person sometime.)”

Well, you can’t, though ……

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“Are we going to the academy soon?”

I think a few more episodes? We’ve got all the major characters now!

“I wonder how much longer this will go on ……”

You don’t have to say that!?

“Ah, that’s right. You know, I’ve been getting letters from people who want the brother to continue.”

He has a role to play, so of course, he won’t fade out!
