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

It had been two days …… since Luciela had told me that Brao and Ryuuze were in the hospital. I had planned to go to the hospital the same day, but–

“I’m going to the guild today! I’m going to play with Lars-kun!”

“Can I go, too? I’ll make a card. I’d like to have some pocket money. “

“I-I’m coming too!”

“Kuh …… If it weren’t for the Holy Knight Club, I’d go too ……”

Nora, who had been upset since her break, exploded and insisted on coming with me, so I was stuck. It was only yesterday that Nora’s good mood was restored when she came along with Kudelica, fulfilled the carpenter’s request, and ate and drank with the little money she had.

“…… I wonder what’s wrong with Nora. I don’t think she’s lonely now that brother is here, though? She can also go out with her friends without me.

Well, it’s okay since she was happy yesterday, but today she turned down everyone’s invitation, saying she had something to do, and now I’m standing in a bookstore near the hospital, reading, and watching.

I’m fortunate that I’ve never been seriously ill, and my mother’s medicine can cure me if I’m a little sick, so I’ve never been taken care of here.

If it was just that Brao was here, then it was possible that he was sick, and it would make sense that he was looking for Ryuuze. But when I thought about it, I realized from the conversation between Luciela and Ryuuze that no matter how much medicine Mom could make, there was no way she wouldn’t have taken my brother to the hospital if he was seriously ill and dying, and no doctor would have diagnosed him.

“…… I know it’s a little late now, but it’s better than not doing anything.”

I was ashamed that I should have realized this earlier, but I looked around the hospital. But only a few elderly people and parents with children came out with smiles on their faces. At that time, a man in a white coat, always wearing glasses, was still smiling and waving them off.

Although it was a hospital, it was not a large building like in Japan, but a slightly larger two-story house, and I could guess that the examination rooms and beds for hospitalization must be on the first floor.

“Should I go through the front? Or use the invisible to get in …… But since I’m here–“

“What do you mean by “since I’m here”?”

“I’m thinking about it right now. what should I do.”

What? Just now–

“Is what you’re thinking about is whether or not to buy the book you’re holding in your hand?　Isn’t there a sign that says you can’t browse?”

“Oh!? I-I’m sorry! How much is it?”

“Five hundred beryls …… Thanks for buying! Don’t browse!”

“Yes!”

I paid the clerk of the bookstore, who was a very handsome man, and left the store with the book. …… He’s a very impactful man. What book did I buy?

“Ten Techniques for Taking down Women! This time, the appendix is a magical training that you can do at home!”

“……”

……. I’m interested in the appendix, so I’ll keep this one. Shouldn’t the main focus be on that one?

I quickly put the book in my bag and stood in front of the hospital. Now, it’s strange for me to come to a hospital when I’m in good health, so I’m still worried.

“Well, what happens will happen, I guess?”

I muttered and opened the front door of the hospital. There were no patients in what looked like a waiting room, and as I looked around to see if the examination was over.

“Hm, Oh my, do you feel sick or something? Isn’t your father or mother with you?”

“Oh, yes. I’ve been feeling very tired lately …… I’d like to get examined, but is that okay?”

It seems there are no clothes like a nurse’s uniform, but a woman in a white coat approached me. The woman smiled and handed me her medical record.

“Can you write your name and age here? I’m not busy at the moment, so you can call me right away.”

“Oh, I understand.”

In less than five minutes, I was summoned.

“Lars-kun, come in.”

A man’s voice came from the back of the room, sounding a little high pitched, and I opened the door to a room labeled “Examination Room”. What’s inside is —

“Hello, you’re new here, aren’t you? Come on, have a seat.”

A man in his mid-thirties with cobalt blue hair parted in the middle, thin-framed glasses, and narrow eyes looked at me with a smile and said.

“Yes, please take care of me.”

“I’ll start with my name first. I’m Retzel. Nice to meet you, Lars-kun. Now, you say you get tired easily, but you’re a student at the school, right? You must be having a lot of fun in your exercise class?”

“No, I’m not. I work at the guild, but I mainly do odd jobs, so I don’t get tired.”

“Wow, you’re doing great for just ten years old. Does something comes to mind?”

“Let’s see …… I’m having some trouble with the house.”

When I said this with my eyes downcast, Dr. Retzel lowered his eyebrows and looked at me. He then popped his hand and put his hand on my forehead and said.

“Hmm, no fever. Your pulse is …… normal. Can you tell me about the house? It might make you feel better if you talk about it, okay?”

“Well …… actually, I found out a long time ago that my dad is a lord. But now we have no money and we’re living on the edge …… I thought that If I had been a lord all my life, I might not be living like this. ……”

“……! Pfft ……!”

“……!”

This guy ……!

“I see …… But that’s all in the past now. So there will be good things in the future. You have to do what you can. That’s what it means to be alive.”

“…… Maybe. Thank you very much …… Oh, doctor, have you ever had a very sick person brought into this hospital in the past?”

“Hmm? Yes, I have. …… About ten years ago, there was a boy who was brought in. Miraculously, he survived, but I wonder how he’s doing now. I was so relieved when I saw him, because I tried my best to help him. Now, I think it’s time to go now? You can come back here. If I’m okay with you, I’ll listen to you?”

“Okay.”

“See you later.”

I bowed my head and left the hospital. I don’t know what was going on with my face as I walked fast, but I could feel something black swirling in my chest.

“…… Bingo! That’s the guy who conspired with Brao to kill brother ……!”

I was sure of it. Why?

…… The moment when I confessed that my dad was a lord, he laughed. And while I was speaking about my brother being brought in, while he was also expressing concern, Retzel was also smiling and laughing in a disgusting way the whole time! He was planning to kill him, he’s disappointed, that’s what his eyes said. I remember those eyes. They were the eyes of my little brother in my previous life when he looked at me.

“I’ll certainly get you by the tail.”

With renewed determination, I began to think of more targets and evidence to look for.

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

There was a figure smiling at Lars’ back from the second floor window.

“Kukukku …… It was the second son of the Irving family. I see, a wise child.”

“D-Did he know about me and doctor!? That must be why he’s here ……”

“No, that’s not it. The kid is probably still in the process of finding out. But what he said to Brao-san’s son was accurate and definite. I’m curious as to where it leaked from.”

“Maybe Nina told him ……”

When Brao turned pale, Retzel, the “Doctoc” who had been looking through the window, turned to Brao and sipped his cigarette.

(T/N: Doctor is the previous mysterious teacher. I didn’t know he’s a doctor before because “Sensei” is what author uses for the teachers too.)

“She told him? …… That’s hard to imagine. If I were to tell, I would say it’s the father or mother, but you don’t see any sign of them, do you? “

“T-True …… I bet Roen would come running in if he found out I tried to kill his child ……”

Then Retzel let out a puff of smoke, opened his narrowed eyes a bit, and whispered to Brao.

“…… What, if remain quiet no one will know. I’m holding on to the proof, after all. It’s a shame to throw away that poisonous medicine. There aren’t many drugs that can kill a baby with just one drop. Well, as long as the toxin is still in the older brother’s body and they can’t match it to this particular poison, we’re safe.”

“……”

When Brao looked away and clammed up, Retzel clapped his hands and spread them out in an exaggerated manner.

“Right! I’m sure it’ll find interesting to see the whole family commit suicide because they can’t stand the poverty! How about you, the lord, put pressure on them to stop selling vegetables and medicines?”

“…… Marianne’s medicine is excellent. It would be a shame to cut that off. ……”

“I think you should listen to me if you want to keep your position, don’t you? Just like that time ……”

“Well …… I’ll excuse myself for today.”

“Take care.”

Brao walks out of the front door, not even bothering to hide his pale face. He shakes his head, regretting his position, but killing is not a good way to wake up from sleep, and when he gets his feet on the ground, he’ll likely face extreme punishment.

“It’s your fault, Roen …… You’re my–“

◆ ◇ ◆

“…… Father, you’re in the hospital again. …… What are you doing ……?”

“Oh, Ryuuze. What are you doing here!”

“Hyaaa!? …… Tigre-sensei!”

“Hey, it’s me …… So it’s your father? Are you sure you don’t want me to go after him? So, did you and Lars ever make up? Well, your boys, so fighting is …… what’s wrong!?”

Hearing those words, Ryuue suddenly burst into tears. To Tigre, who had scolded him in the truest sense of the word, Ryuuze was —

“Uhhh …… Teacher, I don’t know what to do ……!”

“…… What happened? Can you tell me?”

Ryuuze nodded his head and hugged Tigre.

I wonder if Lars’ guideline will show by episode 50? I hope so….

I’m sorry for the slow development, but I hope you’ll stick with me!

Thank you for reading!
