Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 44 - Sixteen Years Old (5)

“I’m sorry for always barging in, both parents and children.”

“Hmmm, you’ve always entered without my permission, but today you’re being very discreet.”

The Chief said so, but fidgeted.

It’s obvious he’s restless. This person is the same as ever……

”I’d like to go into the library… I’m going to stay for a little bit longer. Is it okay?

The library in the Chief’s house were quite useful for my magical research.

It’s honestly a shame to think that I won’t be able to use this place for a while.

If possible, I’d like to borrow a few books that I’ve been wondering about.

However, I have no idea when I will be able to return it.

“…the books in here are very valuable.”

“Then, I can’t…”

“That’s why you definitely have to give it back.”

”Ah, then it’s okay………”

Thank you for letting me pass through.

“Speaking of which… Is Firo out at the moment?”

I look around the room.

Normally, she would have come to see how things were going no matter how many times I was kicked out by the Chief.

Today would be the last time, so I wanted to at least see her face.

”Hmmm…Firo is a little depressed right now. Maybe we should leave her alone…”

Then I heard the sound of someone rushing down the stairs in a hurry.

Then the footsteps suddenly and unnaturally slowed and stopped.

I turn my attention to the door of the room where I hear footsteps.

The door opened suddenly and Firo is there.

“… I thought I heard someone, so It’s you Abel”

Huh, he exhales and cranes his neck lazily.

His long white hair swayed about her movements.

Certainly, she doesn’t look like she’s in a good mood.

“What, is something wrong?”

“…… Nothing, there’s nothing wrong. I’m the same as always.”

Is what she says, but she’s clearly not as usual.

It’s obvious she’s not well, and her eyes are a little intense than usual.

I’m a little worried.

Plus, there’s a point I’m a little curious.

“Why are you running down the stairs with speed like you’re falling down but in the hallway, you’re walking slowly……”

“As if that’s the case! Wha-, what are talking about?! It’s not like I was looking forward to meeting you or anything! I just slipped a little and couldn’t stop halfway through!”

Thank god, she’s the same as usual.

“…… now that I remember, uh, um… They say the ceremony is in three days.”

“… I guess.”

I can’t help but parrot it like it’s someone else.

“Hmph, you’re so impatient! I can see them happily rushing to get ready, as usual!　It’s like when you’re focused on one thing, it’s all you can think about! Geez, why don’t you take a moment to think about the feelings of those around you who are forced to go to great pains to fit your schedule!”

I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

It was mostly my father’s fault.

No, I know it’s because of my lack of trustfulness.

“And besides…besides…it’s lonely to be told so suddenly… It’s not like you think of your sister that way, Shibi said……”

Philo says in a hushed, muffled voice.

I knew that Firo had more or less an interest in me.

Maybe the reason she was in a bad mood was that she had heard about the marriage.

“Firo…”

“I don’t know what to say to her.”

I can’t let it slip that I’m running away at night.

I don’t plan to have a ceremony, but I don’t plan to come back to the village for a while either.

I reflexively swapped my gaze to the chief to request for help.

The Chief’s figure in nowhere to be found.

I looked around the room and saw the Chief gently leaving the room.

When our eyes met, the Chief awkwardly looked away and closed the door behind him.

He’s running away.

No, I know it’s awkward, but…

And don’t run away like that to the two young people! There’s not much I could say in my position!

“…I’m complaining a lot. I’m a real jerk for bringing down the heat before the celebration. Maybe I’ve been a little crazy lately. There’s so much more that needs to be said.”

She sobbed and wiped the tears with her sleeve.

As expected, It wasn’t a situation that I could make fun of her crying like usual.

“…Abel, congratulations on your marriage.”

Firo said, laughing awkwardly.

Then she covered her face with her hands and ran quickly out of the room.

…I, I feel a lot of guilt.

I’m planning to run away at night but.

It’s getting harder and harder to escape.

I don’t know what Gizel and Firo will look like tomorrow when they find out I ran away.

If you leave something behind and come back to get it, you may be beaten to death with a sack.

I go into the library, piling up books on bio-magic and alchemy.

I’d like to make golems, chimeras, magic items, and homunculus when I go to the city, because there are many things I couldn’t get in the village.

I hate myself for thinking that way even though I’m driven by guilt.

It seemed to be hard to carry, so I looked at this and that and compared it and sorted it.

If I don’t have enough, I can just go to town and buy more.

I don’t know the city’s currency, but a load of incense leaf should do the trick.

Since I couldn’t carry it, I decided to borrow the Chief’s Outem again and carry it home.

On the way home, I spotted Noswell in the distance.

He carries a bow on his back and walks with two of his followers.

Apparently, he was on his way back from the forest.

After the Incense Leaf War, Noswell came to me alone.

But apparently, he was not abandoned by his followers. I’m a little relieved.

Well, that’s certainly true.

Even if they hadn’t abandoned them, the two followers would have refused my offer to go to my place at that time.

Our eyes met, and I waved at them.

Two of his followers waved back at him, but Noswell ran to the woods as he screams.

The shorter of his henchmen followed, and Noppo watched with a mixture of yawning.

… Am I ghost or something.

I carry the book home and drive it home.

After enjoying one last family happy hour, I went to sleep.

I sneak up in the middle of the night.

I felt a gaze, so I looked at Gizel, but she was sleeping soundly. It’s okay.

Even if they do notice, I’ll tell them I’m going to the bathroom.

You can’t even make excuses if you’re too timid.

I take out the preparations that I put in the warehouse and load them onto the Ortem Trolley.

Incense smoke with dried meat, bread, Abel drinks, bio-magic and alchemy books.

Then there’s an ore that must be rare outside, the Marrenstone.

I put my the Ortem I made that I’m confident about and Gizel first Ortem into the trolley.

I don’t need the water because I can use magic.

It’s too heavy and unbalanced, so I thought about reducing it a bit more, but they’re all too good to be true.

It’s okay. As long as there is no accident, there is no problem.

There is no need to rush on the road. I just need to drive slowly and safely.

When I actually got on it and used the magic to move it, I felt somewhat uncomfortable.

It’s weird, was it such a flow of magic.

However, there is no way to take it apart and examine it again now.

Well, it’s going to be okay.
