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

–It’s been a few days since we left Luitzar.

We arrived at Luitzar in three days because we were in a hurry to get there, but now that the number of people on board has increased and we are no longer traveling in a hurry, we are returning home slowly and it’s getting late.

“We’re here!”

Nora shouted cheerfully from the platform and pointed to the town. But despite Nora’s shout, Makina and Jack’s faces grew increasingly pale. That’s because they’re going home. Mom and the headmaster are there, so they want to return them to their parents.

“I’ve sent them a letter so they know what’s going on, and let’s show them that you’re okay.”

“Oh, Yes ……”

“Okay ……”

If you’re so scared, you shouldn’t have pushed yourself so hard, but that’s since they  were worried about Verna-sensei, I say anything about it. I’ve had a lot of help, especially from Jack.

Then Sarge started yawning and talking.　

I understand what you’re saying, but when I’m thinking about it, my brother puts his finger in front of Sarge and tells him off. 

“If it’s daytime, it’ll make more noise, and the horse will be frightened, so we can’t, okay? Nora is holding you, so isn’t it fine.”

My brother’s [charisma] seems to be working on Sarge, and he’s easily broken. When I was thinking about how strong my brother is at times like this, we arrived in the town. First, we headed to Jack’s house.

As you can imagine, Tigre-sensei knows all the houses in the town, so we didn’t get lost at all and arrived at Jack’s house, a fish shop, in a few minutes.

“I-I’m home ……”

Jack said as he peeked inside, when he heard footsteps coming from the back of the house and saw a man in front of him.

“You’re back! You naughty boy, don’t make me worry!”

Thump!

“Guah!?”

“Whoa …… that looks painful.”

And then he was hit with a painful blow. As Jack crouched there, the man who appeared to be his father stood in front of us, lowering his head to ask.

“Uh, uh, are you the wife of the lord ……?”

“Yes, I’m Marianne. By the looks of it, you’ve received my letter, haven’t you?”

“Yes! …… Really, I’m so sorry, my stupid son came along without permission …… Did he cause you any trouble?”

“Let’s see …… I was troubled by the fact that he followed us without permission, but it was no problem because we were able to save a lot of lives thanks to Jack-kun. I’m sorry that I put him in harm’s way ……”

“No, no, no! This guy needs to see a little scary!　…… But, well, I’m glad he came back in one piece ……”

The father rubs the bridge of his nose with his finger and tears up a little. He’s making me at awe at him for being too grateful. So I thought I’d do Jack a little honor.

“I’m Lars, Jack’s classmate. Jack’s [Collaboration] was very active this time and helped us a lot. If something happens again, I’d like to have his help again.”

“Oh, I saw you at the entrance ceremony! Haha, really? It makes me proud to have the Lord’s son say so. Right, Mom.”

When the father called out to the person coming up behind him, the person who might be the mother tugged on Jack’s ear and laughed.

“What, so you weren’t lying when you said you were friends with Lars-sama! I’m sorry, but if he does anything strange, you can give him a good beating, okay?”

“Haha, he’s our precious friend.”

“Lars ……!”

“Stop it!? You’re making my nose run!?”

“Ahaha, they’re already fighting.”

When Nora laughed, everyone else laughed along with her. Then the headmaster stepped forward.

“I’m the headmaster, Libra. Jack-kun has taken a risk. But he was doing it out of concern for Verna-sensei. I can’t praise him for leaving without saying a word, but I think his spirit is very manly. I’m sure he’ll grow up to be a good adult.”

“I-Is that so? Hey, did you hear that? He said you’re so manly.”

“Hehe, you’ve got a good eye, as expected of the headmaster!”

“Don’t get carried away!”

As we looked at him with a troubled look on our faces, the headmaster turned to Jack again.

“Jack-kun, don’t you have something to say to your parents first?”

“What ……? Ah ……!?”

Jack realized something and hurriedly stood in front of his parents and said.

“…… Dad, Mom, I’m sorry for going into the danger without telling you! And …… I’m home!”

“…… Yeah. I’m really glad you’re okay.”

Aunt then hugged Jack and smiled after saying that. Tigre-sensei and Verna-sensei also called out to him.

“Thank you for doing for my sake, Jack-kun! I’m sorry, Mother. because I made these kids worry ……”

“I was careless, too. If I hadn’t talked to them about it, they wouldn’t have followed me. I’m really sorry.”

“Hahaha, apology received. Well, I guess it’s okay that the two teachers are having trouble with it this time! Jack often talks about Tigre-sensei and Verna-sensei when he comes home from school, and I think it’s safe to leave him with them if the kids are so friendly. I’m sure you’ve been working to make sure nothing happens to this child, right? So let’s stop here for now.”

“…… Thank you very much.”

Tigre-sensei said a few words, thanked his father again, and we left Jack’s fish shop. See you later, I said to Jack as we got into the carriage.

“They were good parents, weren’t they?”

“Yes, they were. I’ll have to come back next time to buy some fish.”

“I’ve got some money coming in, so maybe I’ll splurge?”

I listened to my Mom, brother, and Verna-sensei talking in the carriage on the driver’s seat. When Tigre-sensei said that they were about to arrive at Makina’s house, Makina froze.

“Uhhhh ……”

“I-It’s okay, I’m sure the headmaster and my Mom will take care of it.”

“O-Okay ……”

Is her parents that scary ……? I think they were behind me at the entrance ceremony, but I don’t think Makina’s father and mother were speaking.

While I was thinking about this, it seemed that we had arrived at Makina’s house, and the carriage stopped. The house is two stories high and quite large.

“I’m home!”

“Whoa, you surprised me!?”

When she opened the front door as if she had made up my mind, her parents came out from the back.

“Makinaaaaaa! Welcome back! Just when I thought I heard from Mom that you were going to stay with a boy while Dad went to work, I got a letter from the Lord’s wife saying, “We’re going to Luitzar Country”, and I was so worried…”

“A-Ahaha, I’m back, Dad ……”

It seems that Makina’s father is the one who cries while hugging Makina. She has a strong body, but she seems to have a weakness for tears. Her mother, who is smiling beside her, opens her mouth.

“How was it? The Ma’am wrote that it was dangerous, but I kept explaining that it’s safe to go if she’s with the lord’s son, but your father kept on saying, “I-I’m going too!”, and he wouldn’t listen.”

“Yes. Lars’ strong and teacher was there, so I was totally fine! I’m back, Mom!”

“Yes, yes. I’ll make Makina something she likes today. Oh, Ma’am, thank you for your letter. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”

“…… Sorry, my tomboyish daughter is ……”

As they bowed their heads, Mom and the headmaster said.

“No, Makina-chan is smart and skilled, so she was very helpful. But from now on, don’t come out without telling them, okay?”

“Ah, yes ……”

“Geez, this girl really likes Lars-ku–“

(T/N: I translated it like that but from what’s written in the raws, the “like” word is not included in it, but I put it there because I can’t think of any sentence that her mother will say that will make Makina stop her mother from saying it except the word “like”, however the word “Lars-ku–” in there is included in it.)

“Mom!? I-I’ll be careful! Okay?”

Makina hurriedly covered her mother’s mouth when she was about to say something. When we tilted our heads, the headmaster said the same thing he had said to Jack, and gave Makina a warning and a compliment.

Makina was stiff, but they didn’t seem to be noisy people, so why was she so frightened? Then her parents started talking.

“Damn, kids really grow up so fast, Mom.”

“Yes, they do. But I’m glad I’ll get to see our grandchildren soon.”

The mother glanced at me and smiled.

“W-Well then, see you at the academy!”

“Oh, okay ……?”

Makina tried to get us to leave immediately. But then her father opens his mouth, laughing.

“Haha, please come visit us anytime, Lars-sama! Take care of Makina for me, will you?”

“What?”

“Dad! I’m sorry! Goodbye for today!”

Makina blushed and ran away. So she didn’t want this happening …… Well, there’s nothing more embarrassing to her than having her parents lift her up first to someone she hasn’t even confessed to yet.

“…… Don’t you think you should take responsibility for this?”

“…… I’m only ten years old, I …… can’t be like Tigre-sensei ……”

“I see ……”

“Fufu, Lars-kun will be in for a rough ride after this.”

“I wonder who will Lars choose? All of them ……?”

“C-Come on, guys, stop teasing me! Let’s go!”

When Verna-sensei and my Mom started to tease me, I snapped my mouth shut and got into the carriage to get away from the awkward situation.

I listened to Nora complaining about getting married to someone you care about. Then Sarge got on my stomach and opened his mouth.

“…… I know, thank you, Sarge.”

I stroked Sarge’s head as I thought that that day would come.

“…… It didn’t turn out to be very interesting, did it?”

“I was trying to see what he could do, but the people around him did better than I expected, so I guess it can’t be helped.”

“Are you going to use him?”

“That’s right. Well, it hasn’t been decided yet. There might be other candidates, and it might be a good idea to listen to what other people have to say.”

“Oh, so you’re going around the world again. …… I liked that town a lot, though.”

“Kukuku, there is no resting place for the likes of us, is there? …… Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes.”

Now, let’s move on to the daily life!

This time, trouble in the school?

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“Maybe we should’ve reversed the order.”

I thought it would be more interesting if people could see that there are people who have experience in this field ……
