Chapter 23: Teacher
dria, one of the few towns existing in Adroad continent.
Not as big as ones that have a castle, but a mid-sized town with people bustling about non-stop, is where I am right now.
My objective is to sell the jewel from Jewel Turtle.
I tried selling it at the Adventurer’s guild and bigger shops, but there’s no way they would take a kid with no connections seriously, so in order to not get my identity known, I decided to sell it using an underground organisation.
One of dria’s underground organisations, that mainly deals in illegally, lissa.
After gathering info at the bar, I succeeded in getting invited to a basent, that is their headquarters. And so, in a room only lit dimly by candles, I was sitting before a man that is one of lissa’s top brass.
The man is bald, without a single hair on his head and has a few scars on his face, an ossan full of dignity. He’s trying to intimidate by having his well trained muscles exposed without a hiding them at all, but compared to Lior it’s at a level of a gentle breeze. Since he’s not taking a robed kid with a hood over his head at face value, he must be a man that highly values personal ability.
Though, it seems he still properly uses trickery. When I first showed the thing, the amount of gold pieces given to was only twenty. When taking into account the outside market price this is worth at least fifty pieces, so let’s have a bit of a discussion, shall we?
「This is absurd」(Sirius)
Tossing the bag with gold given to on the table, I laughed scornfully, as if displeased, and arrogantly leaned back.
「However, isn’t this a fair price, though?」(Ossan)
「Are you making fun of ? There’s no way a kid that doesn’t know the market price would be able to co to this place, is there? Are you a such low-level organisation that judges people by looks?」(Sirius)
「It would be regrettable, if you would think that. We are an organisation that has quite a bit of influence in this town, and we don’t really have problems with money. In the worst case, it’s fine to cut the deal off, you know?」(Ossan)
「Now that’s a lie. Since a thing this good doesn’t appear on the market often, you ought to want it, right?」(Sirius)
「Hahaha, seems like you understand. However….there are ways of getting it without using money, you know?」(Ossan)
When he raises his arm, a few origins of bloodthirst appear from the darkness.
「Well then…how will it be?」(Ossan)
The man lowers his arm while floating an unpleasant smile, and the surrounding bloodlust disappears. Is this that? “I can kill you with one sign”… is this what he wants to say? Extre, like one would expect from an underground organisation, huh.
「This is getting more and more absurd. Do you guys think I got this by chance?」(Sirius)
I use 『Search』 while tapping the table lightly, and from what I gathered, there’s two behind the ceiling, one in the dark spot of the left corner, and one presence on the other side of the door behind .
「Two on the ceiling, one in the corner, and one behind the door, with you that’s only five in total. If you can take on a Jewel Turtle with this number, then co at .」(Sirius)
You can’t let soone look down on you during negotiations. Even if you’re at a disadvantage, if you start complaining, they will take advantage of that and the situation may beco impossible to get back on track.
Act strong to the end, sotis purposefully showing weakness, you obtain conditions advantageous for yourself. That gets a bit complicated in the dark side of the world, but in the past and now, little problems can be taken care of that way, so attacking while acting strong is my main stance.
「What’s wrong? Will you have the two on the ceiling throw down knives and have the guy behind do it in one swing? Or maybe, you will hold down, and have the other four attack at together?」(Sirius)
When I release a bit of pressure mixed with mana, the man before gulps down while sweating lightly.
「Well, by fighting the organisation won’t be left unscathed, at least. If that happens, it will beco an opening for other organisations」(Sirius)
When I finish saying that, I cut off the pressure and take out the mithril knife, as if showing it to the man.
「However, I have completely no interest in your organisation. I just want to secretly sell this jewel to the underground. It’s fine to test , but how about we get to the point already?」(Sirius)
These guys try to buy cheap and intimidate to just test . Am I worthy to do business with? They use these obvious thods to find that out. As for , I backed down after intimidating them plenty, gave them a peace of mind by expressing my uninterest in them, and to top it off showed off an expensive mithril knife to make them think I’m not so average person.
I think they will give up after I do this much.
「Pardon . Your ability and insight… I have realized them plenty. I’m sorry for doing such things to test you」(Ossan)
「Don’t worry about it. It’s sothing necessary, as long as you live on the underside. Well then, will you be buying this?」(Sirius)
「Yes, we will. As for the price…how about fifty gold pieces?」(Ossan)
Hmmm, getting fifty gold pieces is enough, but this guy’s still trying to take advantage of .
「This one is of high clarity, and on top of that, it’s in an undamaged, complete state. It’ll would fetch quite a price if sold at an auction. Hundred gold pieces」(Sirius)
「You must be joking. We don’t only buy off and sell things. Considering our troubles, fifty-five gold pieces」(Ossan)
「However, it’s this beautiful while still raw. Curious nobles ought to gather to buy this, if you process it. Ninety gold pieces」(Sirius)
「You do not know how much work it is to process one, do you? Fifty-five pieces」(Ossan)
「Craftsmanship happens to be a hobby of mine. I made this kind of thing with other jewels taken from Jewel Turtle. Eighty pieces」(Sirius)
「This is ?! I see, this is magnificent. How about seventy-five pieces?」(Ossan)
「….Seems about right」(Sirius)
「It seems we have ourselves a deal. Well then, I’ll prepare it imdiately, please wait」(Ossan)
What I gave to the man was a lamp, on which I stuck excess raw rubies that I cut.
Sprinkled with other small gems, each inscribed with a magic circle that glows like 『Light』, the whole lamp faintly glows, it’s purely for admiration. It has no practical use, but a noble with so weird tastes might buy it.
「Seventy-five gold coins. Will you be verifying them?」(Ossan)
「Of course」(Sirius)
It’s not like I don’t trust him, but at underground organisations, not checking, on the contrary, makes them feel distrust. Putting it into your chest pocket without verifying might look cool, but from rchant and underside perspectives, it just makes you unworthy of trust. When dealing with money and things, showing the appearance of doing things properly connects to trust. It’s not sothing I should say while doing it, but since I have no intention of eting this guy again, it might be sothing unnecessary.
「Seventy-five pieces, I have verified it. Well then, I shall take my leave」(Sirius)
「It was a worthwhile negotiation」(Ossan)
“Are you going back already?” he doesn’t stop say things like that to stop . It’s not like we’re on good terms, and he understands that I ca into contact with the underside in order to avoid unnecessary ddling and inquiries. After finding another good point, I think that while this man belongs to an underground organisation, he can be trusted as long as you co to an agreent.
「Aah, yes. Since these gold coins are mine now, lissa as an organisation, will not interfere whatsoever, right?」(Sirius)
「…….As you say. I shall swear that lissa won’t interfere no matter what」(Ossan)
「I have heard your confirmation. Well then.」(Sirius)
I swiftly leave the basent, and after getting out from back alleys to the main street, I let out sigh. Good grief, since it’s has been a while since I was involved with the underworld, I’m tired ntally. Even so, I got a high price for my troubles, so I guess I’ll buy sothing for those guys and head back. While walking through the main street aimlessly, I buy things that catch my eye.
A ribbon for Emilia, durable gloves for Reus, but what would be a good wedding gift for Noel and Dee, I wonder. It might be too early for baby goods, so maybe sothing like matching pendants would be good.
After finding and buying what I wanted, I exited the town, towards the nearby forest. It would be fine to go back imdiately, but it seems I still have one little job to do.
「…….Co out」(Sirius)
To my muttering, a man fully clad in black showed himself.
This man was tailing all the way from the basent. I felt multiple presences while using 『Search』, but I understood that only this guy is one of the ones that have been surrounding since a while back. I feel a few other presences for a first ti, but it’s clear they aren’t friendly. I suppose I’ll make a move first.
「Seems ya didn’t find by chance. How d’ya do it? 」(Man)
「Think I’m stupid enough to tell you? That aside, what do you want? I believe I received this money through proper negotiations」(Sirius)
「Nooothin’ much, I just thought you got too much fer a kid, is all. So an adult like ca to take it back」(Man)
The man smiles greedily while thrusting his knife before . I did expect this to a certain extent, but one really easy to understand ca, huhー.
「Ya seem too cocky fer a brat, so I’ll teach ya about the world of grown-ups. Fee fer tha lesson ‘ll be money ya got earlier an’ yer knife. That kinda thing’s fer superiors like ta hold」(Easily understandable man)
「I’m fine on lessons, and you are the one that lacks qualifications to hold a knife. Realize your own abilities properly.」(Sirius)
「Keh, yer a really cheeky brat. Oi, co out lads!」(Easily understandable man)
The man raises his arm and robust n one after another…. didn’t co out. He looks around curiously, raises and lowers his arm a few tis, but nothing happens.
「Sh*t, those louts betrayed !」(Easily understandable man)
No, no, they didn’t betray you, they just can’t co.
While I was talking to you, I detected all of them and shot them to the back of the head. If you look around for them under the shadows of grass, they ought to be laying around.
「Enough, I can do it alone. I’ll retrieve tha money, an’ be promoted. I’m tired of bein’ used by that baldy though I’m superior ta him!」(Easily understandable man)
I see, his aim is not to pocket the money, but to raise his status within the organisation. To seek a promotion this energetically is fine, but to say you’re superior to that man? This guy seriously has the wrong idea here.
「Why’s everyone makin’ a fuss just ‘cause he’s a little smart. Actin’ all ek against a brat, I dun get what’s he afraid of at all!」(Easily understandable man)
What you lack is the ability to recognize the strong. At least that man understood that I’m one of the strong after testing , and accommodated with a respectful attitude. Since danger is always breathing down your neck in the underworld, ones that excel in risk managent survive. Since you don’t get that, you’ll et your end sooner or later. More like, you’ve t your end.
「You only got this far because you don’t. 『Magnum』」(Sirius)
Unfortunately, I’m not a saint. I’ll strike back if struck, and repay goodwill with the sa. Since this guy was obviously aiming for , so I’ll have myself do it without reservation. I buried countless guys like you in my previous world. I feel no guilt this late in the ga.
「What ‘r ya on abou!? 」(Easily understandable man)
The released bullet goes through his skullcap, and the man, without even understanding the reason, left this world. If I think about it, this is the first ti I killed in this world, but… as I thought I feel nothing. I have no intention of doing it unnecessarily, but there are tis, when it’s either kill or be killed. I’ll need to have my disciples experience that soday.
I lower the finger I was pointing, and affirm the situation around , but there’s no sign of the enemy.
Since I took down a mber, it might be taken as an act of picking a fight with the organisation, but I have the word of that man, and this ti it’s obviously this guy acting on his own. I think the aftermath will be taken care of within the organisation. I have taken care of witnesses, so if I fly away now, my identity shouldn’t be known.
「Welco back, Sirius-sama」(Emilia)
「Welco back, Aniki!」(Reus)
When I co back ho, the siblings who were training in the garden, welcod . Their respective directions for training were decided, so they beca able to train independently, even without being around more than necessary. The rest depends on their motivation, but looking at the degree of the pair’s exhaustion, seems like they’re doing it seriously.
「I’m back. Did anything happen?」(Sirius)
「Nothing in particular」(Emilia)
「Apart from Noel-nee and Dee-nii being pink coloured, nothing happened」(Reus)
Even after a month passed since the couple’s wedding ceremony, they’re still in paradise. They do chores and work seriously, but during breaks and altis they flirt sitting next each other without exception. Married love life being positive is a good thing, but to that kind of lovey-dovey mood, Emilia runs wild out of envy, and Reus started having negative impression towards marriage saying “If it ans I’ll have that kind of loose face, maybe I don’t want to get married, I think?”.
I made him accept it by saying “Think of it as kind of a disease that calms down with ti and leave them be” , but I couldn’t say that it’s bad for education and stop the couple, so lately it beca a thing of concern.
「I see. Did you two finish your training?」(Sirius)
「Yes, I have done my norm. I don’t mind it being later, but could you watch over my magic when you have the ti?」(Emilia)
「I’m also finished. Also, I would like to go to gramps Lior’s soon」(Reus)
「Alright, I’ll think about it. Anyway, since I have sothing to talk about, I want everyone to gather」(Sirius)
「Understood. I’ll go call onee-chan, gathering at the living room will be fine, right?」(Emilia)
「I’ll get Dee-nii」(Reus)
Seeing them divide roles and act after reading my intentions, I was in deep thought while looking at the pair’s backs.
Emilia started resembling Erina, and Reus, while still being childish, started acting while holding a firm will. Our ti living here is almost at it’s end, but when they accumulate experience, the pair should be able to live outside without any problems.
While being delighted with the pair’s growth, I headed towards the living room and waited for everyone to gather.
「This is today’s result」(Sirius)
When I line up the gold coins on the table, everyone’s eyes beca like dots. The gold coins are seventy-five in total, thinking in the japanese yen, it’s seven and a half million. Considering how cheap commodities are in this world, it might be abnormal.
「A-amazing! I have never seen that much gold coins!」(Noel)
「I thought it would be fifty coins at best, but to think you could get this much….」(Dee)
「Nee-chan, nee-chan, I don’t seem to get, how amazing is this?」(Reus)
「Let’s see, do you get it if I say that one of these is worth twenty silver coins?」(Emilia)
「Ooh! That’s amazing indeed! But I don’t need that much」(Reus)
It’s not like this is your money, but seriously, these siblings know no greed. Well, they were born in a village where money was unnecessary, and after being slaves, they beca my disciples. Never going to town, always living in this house, I guess the necessity of money would fade..
「I think Emilia understands, but Reus, money has it’s significance. Because if we don’t have these gold coins, we can’t get into school」(Sirius)
「I guess. Oh right, how much of these does school need?」(Reus)
「If I rember correctly, it was about fifteen?」(Noel)
「That ans fifteen coins tis three, thirty coins are left. What will you do with them?」(Dee)
Actually, the jewel’s price of fifty coins that I got at first was fine, but I got carried away, and negotiated too much. Well, too much money is not a problem, and in fact I have decided what to use the leftovers for.
「I wonder, Noel and Dee, would you like to use this chance to also go to school?」(Sirius)
「No. I think I have said this before, but since I got married, I have no more regrets」(Noel)
「Even if you get sheltered by the school, money is still necessary. Please use the rest on living expenses」(Dee)
I said this half-seriously, but as I thought, they refused. Well, checking up in books, seems like there’s a lot of young ones at school, so it might be pushing it in terms of age.
「Well then, I’ll decide on it’s use. So Dee, that guy will be coming the day after tomorrow, if I rember correctly?」(Sirius)
「Yes, he should be coming the day after tomorrow, at noon」(Dee)
「Seems I’m done just in ti」(Sirius)
There’s not even half a month left until we get driven out of here.
Even so, never mind showing his face, that guy didn’t even send a letter, so I decided to call him here myself.
There will be only trouble if I leave it be, so I want to settle it before going to school.
The day after tomorrow, I’ll be eting my father for the first ti since my birth.
And so, the appointed day.
I was eting my father, Bardomyl ? Dorianus, in the living room.
I had Dee stand behind , and the beastkins that he hates are on standby in my room.
Well then, this is my first eting with father, but wrinkles and white hairs have increased since the last ti I saw him, and he’s grown sowhat fat, so it’s clear as day that he’s leading an intemperate lifestyle. Looks like he’s one step away from geriatric diseases.
「Nice eting you for the first ti. My na is Sirius」(Sirius)
「Hou? Courteous, like you wouldn’t believe that you’re a child born from that rude girlie」(Bardomyl)
He’s dishing out jabs right off the bat. More like, since I introduced myself, do the sa. That’s manners, right?
「Nevermind you for now, where’s that servant? Her na was sothing like――Erina, if I rember?」(Bardomyl)
「Erina has passed away a few months back. Right now I am acting as this house’s head」(Sirius)
「I see, she finally croaked, huh. She was unexpectedly competent, but annoying when it concerned that girlie」(Bardomyl)
「It’s thanks to Erina that I grew this splendidly. Not only as a servant, but also as a foster parent, she was the best woman」(Sirius)
「The best woman? She might have brainwashed you, and hatched a plan to take over my house」(Bardomyl)
He really is good at rubbing people the wrong way. Since he’s doing that naturally, it’s even more detestable. Dee who is standing behind , is suppressing his rage by tensing his body, and on top of that, it’s strangely noisy behind the door.
『Stop it, Reus! You can’t do anything even if you go there!』
『Lem go nee-chan! That guy, that guy’s speaking ill of Erina-san! I won’t forgive him! 』
『I can understand your rage, Reu-kun. But right now Sirius-sama is there, so stop it. Please, just endure it for now』
『Kuu…..Damn!』
That kind of exchange was heard after I reinforced my hearing. Those guys, though I told them to wait in the room, incorrigible lot, really. Keep on restraining Reus like that.
「It’s unusually noisy. Are those demi-humans making a racket?」(Bardomyl)
「Please don’t mind it. That aside, the reason I called you here….」(Sirius)
“Demi-human”, to that insulting word, Dee’s rage increased even more. He’s glaring at father so strongly that it looks like it would kill him, but seriously, you’re amazing in a way, to not even notice it.
「Let get to the point, I suppose. Why have you called here? Since you called for this busy , you better have a suitable reason」(Bardomyl)
「Of course. The reason is the talks about leaving this house. There’s not even half a month left until the promised ti, but…..」(Sirius)
When I say that, that guy’s face warped in displeasure.
「No, absolutely no! I see you have heard from the servants, but your exile from this house is decided. It’s too late, I will definitely won’t allow to postpone it!」(Bardomyl)
「That’s not it. After half a month….or even earlier that that, I don’t mind, I have resolved myself to leave the house」(Sirius)
「Then what is it? You could just leave by yourself, even without calling here」(Bardomyl)
「Actually, I have a favour to ask. That is sothing that needs your permission, but please look here first」(Sirius)
I took the bag that I had Dee hold, and spilled the contents on top of the table. After seeing the contents, that guy’s face was dyed with amazent.
「Th-This is….gold coins? Furthermore, aren’t there more than twenty of them!? You bastard, where did you get this?」(Bardomyl)
「There was so good luck involved, but this money was saved up little by little, during these past few years. I’ll present this money to you」(Sirius)
「Ho, hohou? Quite an admirable attitude」(Bardomyl)
The mont I said I would give it, he promptly gathers it up, and puts it in his bosom. You have fast hands, don’t youー
「I say that I’m giving this, but actually I’m just giving back what I owe. That money is for the expenses you gave to Erina to bring up. Erina left records properly, so there shouldn’t be a possibility of it not being enough」(Sirius)
「Fumu, indeed, that sounds like sothing that woman would do」(Bardomyl)
「I added a bit extra. I was using this house, so think of it as balancing it out, and accept it」(Sirius)
「Well then, I’ll take it without reservation. And so, what is this favour of yours? Don’t tell you’ll start spouting nonsense like wanting to beco a candidate to my heirs?」(Bardomyl)
「No, I have completely no interest in that. What I want to ask is, to cast aside the Dorianus na. I want your, patriarch’s, word, that I’m not even your son」(Sirius)
To the favour that he didn’t expect, father’s movents stopped. Well, I gave him money and asked him to disown , so it’s not surprising.
Actually, at the point I’m driven out of this house, I’m the sa as disowned.
However, if I have this guy’s na, which is like misfortune, it feels like at so point, I’ll be surrounded by so annoying liability, so I want to cut off all ties with these guys. To the degree, that I want to get the words of disownnt from the patriarch himself.
I have no attachnt to being a noble in the first place, and I don’t think of clinging to it.
The reason I gave him the money, is because I wanted to properly liquidate my connection to this guy.
I’m fine with being just Sirius.
「You want to cast away our prideful na of Dorianus by yourself? You’ll lose even the title of a noble, you know?」(Bardomyl)
「I do realize that. I’ll live not as father’s son, but as the son of Miliaria, as just Sirius」(Sirius)
「Very well. It was going to happen when you were exiled from the house. I, the patriarch of the Dorianus house, Bardomyl, order you. You are not allowed to call yourself a Dorianus ever again, you’re not even my son!」(Bardomyl)
「I have certainly heard it」(Sirius)
I’ve never even once thought of myself as your son, and I don’t rember ever calling myself a Dorianus, though.
「That’s all I wanted. Thank you for troubling yourself to co all the way here」(Sirius)
「Indeed, is what I would want to say, but it was worthwhile for 」(Bardomyl)
Feeling the weight of gold coins in his bosom, he looked really pleased. Really though, how corrupted those eyes look. I can’t even imagine how much money he’s going to squander in the town on his way back.
「Well then, half a month left, isn’t it? I’ll send soone at that ti, so begone before that. I’ll tell them kick you out for trespassing, if you’re still here」(Bardomyl)
「Understood. I shall leave this house within half a month」(Sirius)
Bardomyl, who was acting self-important from the start to the end, left.
And so, this was the first and the last eting of a father and a child, and I beca just Sirius.
「…….Sirius-sama」(Dee)
After seeing out Bardomyl, with only the two of us left, Dee squeezed out his voice, as if groaning.
「Erina-san….got treated like this every ti she t this guy, huh」(Dee)
「Probably. I don’t know how many tis they t, but truly, she was a strong person」(Sirius)
「I feel frustrated. Aria-sama, Sirius-sama, Erina-san, even Noel got made fun, I feel frustrated at myself for being unable to do anything」(Dee)
「No, you endured it well. There’s no idea what would the nobles do, if you pick a fight with them, so you did well for Noel’s sake. You can be proud」(Sirius)
「Those words are more than I deserve」(Dee)
「Also, I’m not a noble or anything anymore. At the sa ti you guys were discharged, so there’s no need to be respectful with , you know?」(Sirius)
「No, even if not a noble, my master is Sirius-sama」(Dee)
「I also think so!」(Noel)
「 too! I am Sirius-sama’s servant for life!」(Emilia)
「 too, Aniki!」(Reus)
I realize everyone has gathered behind . Everyone feeling seemingly the sa, look at with eyes full of trust. Bonds we built weren’t for naught, it seems.
「Sirius-sama’s father….well….」(Emilia)
「He’s not my father or anything anymore, so you can call him whatever you want and slander him, I don’t mind」(Sirius)
「Understood. That person is really awful. Even if illegitimate, to be this cold to his own child, unbelievable」(Emilia)
「Yeah, that’s right! He even made fun of Erina-san! I thought about cutting him down, if Aniki wasn’t there!」(Reus)
Silver-wolf tribe are a race that cherish their family, so they probably can’t forgive a guy like that. You’re even more furious and are complaining more than , but you got to learn that that kind of scum exists, right?
「He hates the beastkin like that, so there were tis when I was about to be harassed when I was living at his mansion. Aria-sama and Erina-san protected though, so nothing too serious happened」(Noel)
「What does he hate about the beastkin. Even though Noel is cute」(Dee)
「Dear….」(Noel)
「Noel….」(Dee)
You two really have troubles restraining yourselves, don’t you? I can’t even anticipate what will cause them create “Love World” anymore. When I clear my throat for the ti being, the two start panickingly gloss it over by trying to get the conversation back on track.
「E-Even so, you really did well restraining yourself, Sirius-sama. If it was , the mont he spoke ill of Erina-san, I would have slapped him!」(Noel)
「Yeah, striking back when struck is more like you, Aniki」(Reus)
「Do you really think I did nothing?」(Sirius)
「Don’t tell …. did you give him counterfeits?」(Emilia)
「Wrong」(Sirius)
Those gold coins I gave Bardomyl, are indeed genuine, but I put a trick into the coins themselves.
「I put ti-delayed 『Impact』 onto so of those gold coins. I suppressed the power on them quite a lot, but at so point those gold coins will probably scatter around while giving out an impact」(Sirius)
I densely covered 『Impact』 with mana, and with ti passing, that mana slowly dissipates, creating a delayed activation of magic. It’s the one made use of during the ti with the Jewel Turtle.
It will go off after a few hours from when I gave them, and will probably cause an uproar while involving the surroundings. He’ll undoubtedly either taste the impact himself while having them near his bosom, or expose his unsightly appearance while trying to collect the scattered gold coins, if he takes them out.
Even if it gets to soone other’s hands, he’ll be the one victim complains to anyway.
When I explain, thinking it might be a bit nasty, the servants endorsed it with both hands up high.
「As expected of Sirius-sama! While it is regrettable I cannot see it for myself, but knowing that that guy will be panicking around makes feel better」(Noel)
「Hehe, serves him right!」(Reus)
「A guy that doesn’t treasure his family deserves to suffer! 」(Emilia)
「He’s getting his just deserts」(Dee)
They were mouthing him off for so ti, but it’s about ti to set about with the next operation. I clap my hands to get back conversation back on track.
「Alright, let’s leave that kind of scum aside and switch over to the next objective. Has everyone prepared to depart?」(Sirius)
「Yes, nothing is overlooked」(Dee)
「The house is cleaned perfectly. It’s the sa as brand new!」(Noel)
「No problems here」(Emilia)
「I’m ready to go anyti!」(Reus)
Pleasedly nodding to everyone’s answers, I loudly raise my voice.
「Very good, then it’s a party! Today we’ll be rrymaking through the night!」(Sirius)
「「「「Yeah!」」」」(Dee/Noel/Emilia/Reus)
Preparations to set off are complete.
We’ll leave this house tomorrow.
I had decided to leave the day after getting disowned by Bardomyl a long ti ago.
Since I handed him that much money so easily, he might co to loot this house, thinking I have more, so the sooner we leave, the better.
I said within half a month, so he would never think we’d be gone the next day. His mortified appearance, after seeing the house completely deserted, cos to mind.
「Sirius-sama, I have been thinking for a while, but what will you do about your house na?」(Noel)
「Aー….that’s right. It will be necessary once I’m outside, huh」(Sirius)
I got asked this kind of question by Noel, while preparing for the party.
House na….it’s points to a na like the Dorianus, that I cast off just before, or the siblings’ Silbarion.
In previous world terms it’s a surna, of course Noel and Dee also have one, but ordinary commoners have almost no opportunity to use a house na, so it’s omitted.
A house na is mainly used by nobles in the first place, and I was secluding myself in this place, so there was no need to use one.
Although, it seems that it’s a public disgrace to not have one, so I’ll have to think of sothing.
「Thinking about it normally, you should be naming yourself Eldrand, like Aria-sama」(Noel)
「I would like to, but even though they collapsed, the Eldrand were nobles. If there’s a branch family that still exists, it might beco too problematic」(Sirius)
「Then let’s think of a new one. A developing house na gradually rising up in the world….it’s like a legend」(Emilia)
「It’s not like I want to rise up in the world, though…..」(Sirius)
「That is impossible. I can confidently say, that having that kind of power, you will definitely beco famous, Sirius-sama」(Emilia)
I just want to raise disciples, and have zero intentions on becoming famous, though. While I was worrying, Noel gathered everyone, and hastily started a eting to decide on a new house na.
「Let’s start the first eting of “Let’s think of Sirius-sama’s house na”. Everyone, applause!」(Noel)
I’m sure she said it in the spur of the mont, but does this have a chance of happening a second ti?
Near the person concerned, who was retorting, applause took place, and the beastkins started giving out ideas one after another.
「I’m thinking about sothing like King, a na that resembles the strongest seems good」(Reus)
「How about sothing like Dragon?」(Noel)
「Ano….I don’t mind it being the sa as ours. Sirius ?Sylvarion….it seems good, since it’s like a husband」
「What was that at the end, nee-chan? But I agree on it being the sa as ours! It’s like a true brother then!」(Reus)
This is hopeless, there’s no knowing what kind of a na they’ll co up with if I leave it up to them.
I’ll decide on it myself before so weird one flies out.
Hmmm….I thought about maintaining the na of my forr life, but I completely can’t rember it, as usual.
A simple, not too flashy, na representing would be nice.
Representing….since I’m aiming to be an educator….teacher?
「……Teacher」(Sirius)
「Teeーchaaー? Aniki, what does it an?」(Reus)
「In my previous lif――that’s not it, according to old literature, it ans teacher, it seems」(Sirius)
「teacher….it suits Sirius-sama perfectly. I also think it’s good」(Emilia)
「 too! Sirius-sama is our master and teacher」(Noel)
「He knows everything, so the person is exactly like his house na, eh. It suits you」(Dee)
「That settles it….doesn’t it」(Noel)
「Yeah, my na is Sirius ?Teacher」(Sirius)
And so, my house na was decided.
After that, we held a showy party, and spent our last night in this house all together.
The next morning, having finished the preparations, we were lined up in front of the house.
I’ve been in this house for eight years. It’s obvious I have an attachnt to it, and honestly, I don’t like leaving it. Even for the siblings that lived here for a short ti, this is their ho, so they are spilling tears in regret, and Dee with Noel just looked at the house without saying a word, seemingly being flooded with mories.
We can’t be clinging to mories forever.
Everyone probably won’t move away, until start to.
I tap the shoulders of the siblings, and turn my back towards our ho.
While hearing the footsteps of the servants, I’m moving forward, without looking back.
I’m off….kaa-san.
Sirius ? Teacher.
A man who, in the far future, would be the cornerstone of fate embroiling the world, started walking the outside world today.
