TN: Sorry for the 1 post per week instead of 2 these few weeks. I’ll be reverting back next week to trying to type 2 posts per week.
Sumr just saps everything out of ..
” And? Did everything go well? ”
John-Sensei asked, his eyes sparkling while looking like he was preparing to fly towards . I unconsciously took a step back as I nodded.
” The magical tool created ca out quite nicely. The only problem was how the colors looked like from a distance. ”
” Ah... As expected of Will, again. ”
Actually, when I first decided to create fireworks, I had asked for John-Sensei’s help in experinting with various tal dust. Just a little before the sumr holidays, I ca unannounced during one of the laboratory’s day off and we managed to work so great colors out.
Well, every blacksmith already knew about the fact that different tal dust, when burnt, would produced different colors, not to ntion John-Sensei, who was often asked to help in researching fireworks for the royal family.
With the knowledge from the both of us, we managed to produced fireworks. Hm? Where did the experint grounds and the tal dust ca from?
Magic!
I teleported us over to the Beryl’s garden and held our experints there. Or rather, I want to praise John-Sensei. He was knowledgeable in almost every field. Really, how wasteful was it for him to beca a child’s tutor?
” Well then, let us get on our way. ”
John-Sensei said, as he lifted his luggage.
” Got it. 《転移》! ” [TN: Teleport]
I imagined my room as I chanted. And we landed safely in my room without any hiccups. Viva teleportation magic. But I shouldn’t relied on it too often. My legs would degenerate.
” ......Oh well, Will. How unusual to see your room in such a ssy state. ”
John-Sensei said, as he looked at the scattered papers in the middle of my room. I smiled wryly as I answered.
” Father lent a new book and I got too absorbed in it. To think I even had friends over. ”
I passed Terao’s diary over to John-Sensei. Curious, John-Sensei took the book over and after glancing at the pages inside, his face showed understanding. But I knew that was just the start of his crescendo. Oh, here it cos.
” Can it be.. the First Founder’s diary?!?! This is famous for being a book filled with unknown magic circles and incantations that had gone unsolved! I see... So it’s the Beryl who had it....! ”
To the who had retreated a very safe distance away from John-Sensei, he was looking lovingly at the Terao’s diary as he stroked it. .....Ah, I think I heard him said it before that his wife was research...
John-Sensei area of research was magic circles and incantation. Add that with the history of this book and you were dangling a carrot in front of a horse.
” .......... ”
Leaving aside , who had a weird look frozen on my face, John-Sensei continued as he stroked the diary.
” Once, when I was still in Higher Academy, I had gotten hold of this book to try and decipher it. Ah, the arrogance of youth. To had baseless confidence about how I might be able to do it when all the famous researchers can’t. I was really conceited... ”
Hmm, was this what you called a bittersweet mories? I could see a hint of happiness and fun in his expression.
” By the way, this was used by the royal research lab to put all the newcors in their place. It seems like it would caused them to be even more earnest in researching. ”
I get it, so John-Sensei went through it as well. With a face full of nostalgia, John-Sensei passed the diary back to .
” So this was really a book full of magic incantations and circles? ”
Cue eyes sparkling. I smiled wryly.
” No, this is actually... ”
I wondered how long was I going to keep lying.
As I was worried about that, for so reason, ‘because it’s will’ ca to stand. And now, no matter what I said, even though surprised, people had ca to accepted it.
Which ant, I had no more reason to hesitate.
For what reason did I hide the truth about what I know? The reason was because I might get targeted. To be used for so unsavory stuff. But above all, I don’t want to be hated by people I hold dear.
Although it was a bit late to talk about being targeted for my life since I had just exchanged blows with the [Shadows]. And the title of being the Duke’s son brought about it’s own share of danger too.
Even it’s not for my [Cheat], there were various other reasons why my life would be targeted as well. As for being used... it all depends on the situation, as well as the other party.
I don’t wanna get hated by my close friends.
If my secret ever get exposed, I wondered if any of them would leave. No, no they won’t. Even I knew that. I knew it, yet there was still unease. It was becoming to be a habit.
It was deeply grinded in my psych as a way of self-defense that I can’t let people have any expectations of . Even I get irritated at this thinking of mine.
How stupid. I kept my mories just so I would stopped being stupid. And it made felt like I was not trusting them at all. I am angry at how my own weakness turned into suspicions of everyone.
That’s why.
I pointed.
” Actually, John-Sensei, this is not a magic or spell book. It’s a diary. The First Founder’s diary. ”
John-Sensei, who had a mont of shock on his face, reverted back into a researcher’s face almost imdiately. I let out a tiny breath of relive.
Finally, the mories I kept from my previous life seed to had been out to good use.
