Ex Strongest, Receiving Lessons from The Private Tutor

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“– Well, that is the reason why it is called as the Demon Forest.” (Camilla)

In an unnecessarily s.p.a.cious room, the voice of Camilla was echoing.

As Soma was listening, he nodded.

There were only two people inside his room.

It was the first lesson that Camilla took as a private tutor.

With respect to time, it was two hours, after seeing Aina again, and meeting Camilla in the forest.

He didn’t do anything else in particular.

He immediately parted with Aina and returned home, but it took some time for Camilla to finish the preparation.

Well, they didn’t decide a specific time in the first place, and judging from his position to be taught by her, Soma didn’t make any complaint.

Regarding the remaining time, since there was no task given to Soma since he was struggling with pain, there was no problem at all.

Anyhow, as the lesson started like that, but it was probably rude if he unexpectedly said something. However, it was his true feeling since the lesson was easy to understand.

They had a match earlier, and even though they both were combatants, her profession in the first place was a skill appraiser.

If she was really a muscle brain, he didn’t think that the lesson could start immediately as expected, but it was probably because she was good at contradicting her own recognition.

Now, let’s return to the main subject.

“Aah… I see.” (Soma)

When returning to the present thought, it was natural to be occupied with the talk he heard now.

It was a talk about the forest ahead of the backyard, and why was it called as the Demon Forest…

“It was called the Demon Forest because it is at the boundary with the area where the Demon lives…” (Soma)

“Well, in the past there were time when the Demon was wondering around, but instead of several years, I haven’t seen them in ten years.” (Camilla)

“Hmm… by the way, do you know the reason?” (Soma)

“Hmm? Well, maybe.” (Camilla)

“May I ask why?” (Soma)

“There is no problem in particular, but is it that easy for you?” (Camilla)

Even though Camilla asked such a thing, it was an easy matter.

Since she was beaten, she was probably gave up being asked by him.

There was more reasons if it could be.

Incidentally, when she said that, there was one other thing that could be understood.

“I see… is that the reason why my house is a uselessly big mansion?” (Soma)

“Hooh? You mean?” (Camilla)

“The size of the house is perfect for showing the stature of my family, right? And the fact is the territory of Demon is right there, which is at the border. Is it decided whether the mansion of the family is near the border of the country?” (Soma)

Soma was still didn’t know the house he belongs to.

However, when he listened to such a talk, he understood to a certain extent.

“Well, I’m not sure how far the border goes, but the house is around here.” (Camilla)

If that was the case, he could understand many things.

First, it was a way to deal with Soma after knowing that he couldn’t learn any skills.

Strictly speaking, since he thought that he would stay mainly in this area, it was to reinforce that decision.

“Ooh?” (Camilla)

As expected, it seemed that his guess was almost right while looking at Camilla who pleasantly narrowed her eyes.

“We haven’t reach the part about arist

ocracy… so how did you get there? You are really interesting…” (Camilla)

Since he couldn’t say anything about the knowledge about the previous life, he shrugged his shoulders.

Even if he had no knowledge of the previous life, he could have guessed to a certain extent.

Soma had learned various knowledge from the tutors before Camilla, but he didn’t learn anything of such kind at all.

At that point of time, it was reasonable to think that the information deprived was something intended.

Whether he could guessed it to a certain point, that was another story.

“Well, leaving that aside… there is one unclear thing.” (Soma)

“Hmm… what is it?” (Camilla)

“I don’t understand the meaning of setting up a mansion so close to the border.” (Soma)

There were surely some advantages, but whenever he thought about it, the drawback far exceeded it.

It was already out of question especially at a most dangerous time.

If someone ordered the mansion to be build here, he could feel nothing but ill intention.

“Aah, even if the mansion is setup here, originally it was planned to built more away from here, you know?” (Camilla)

“Hmm… well, of course.” (Soma)

“However, the correspondence will be delayed when the Demon attack. Therefore, it was forcibly decided to setup the mansion here.” (Camilla)

“…Who did that?” (Soma)

“Your parents.” (Camilla)

“…Are my parents fools?” (Soma)

“I won’t deny that.” (Camilla)

That made him wanted to hold his head, but for her to have confidence to say that, there must be reasons.

But, nope…?

“Are they too overconfident because the Demon weren’t seen in ten years?” (Soma)

“No, although it may be foolish, it is a certain that it is not because of overconfidence. Anyhow, the Demons were defeated.” (Camilla)

“…That was a story of ten years ago, right?” (Soma)

“Well, the permission to build the mansion here is not because of showing off.” (Camilla)

“Hmm…” (Soma)

Although Soma felt confidence if he was at the peak like in the previous life, he couldn’t say anything because he didn’t know how strong the Demon were.

There were too few samples in order to verify that fact.

When he thought about it…
