The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 31 (2/2)

Practice equipiven to the children and they could learn fundath from the Ghouls and the Undead titans

And once they becah-quality equip monster materials They were in an extraordinary environment compared to normal monsters

「Three threes are nine Three fours are twelve」

「Four fives, twenty Four sixes, twenty-four」

TLN: They’re doing so Using し/shi+ instead of よん/yon for the nu く/ku instead of きゅう/kyuu for the number 9, etc)

The Orcuses were learning the ht consider this unexpected, races like Ghouls who lived as monsters were all capable of basic arithmetic At the very least, their abilities to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were flawless

The reason for this was because they were necessary when calculating Vitality and Mana values Howout of Vitality, how many more ti out of Mana It was i calculations like these

And so it was only natural to be teaching these to the Orcuses as well

Incidentally, thethat Vandalieu had spread aht that even if the Ghouls didn’t know about it, the multiplication table would at least be known in human society, so he had been surprised when Kachia and the others told him that humans, at least those on this continent, didn’t use it

It seeed to spread all of their knowledge that they had brought with theainst the De on back then, so they probably had no ti children

Even the hero Bellho had been dead-set against the knowledge and culture of Earth being spread and established in La about paper-scissors-rock and the multiplication table

「Hmm? Are you free now, boy?」(Zadiris)

Zadiris had been teaching the children horite using clay tablets instead of notebooks but it seemed that her lesson had just finished and she was now approaching Vandalieu

「I will tell you in advance that I do not need any help Making these Clay Goleh」(Zadiris)

The Clay Gole at were the clay tablets that she and her students were using

In Lambda, paper was considered a luxurious ite sheepskin wasn’t easily obtainable for the Ghouls living a primitive lifestyle in the Devil’s Nest or the Undead titans of Talosheim, nor could it be made

Vandalieu had triedpaper from the fibers of suitable plants, but he found that it was i【Goleain after his skill increased in level, however

And so he had turned clay obtained froround into Clay Golems to use instead of notebooks Wooden sticks were used instead of pens to etch characters into the clay, and once they were full, Vandalieu would give an order to the Golems and they would become clean, flat tablets once more

Vandalieu had wondered if he would be able tothis technique in the future, but it would be anotherporcelain for his own use, but if he was planning to h-quality items to sell, he would have to worry about the quality of the clay and he would need to construct a furnace to bake the pottery, so he hadn’t put any work into trying that

Apparently porcelain had once been made here in Talosheim, but the city’s only porcelain craftsmen had been the boss as destroyed byinto an Undead and his inexperienced son who escaped with the First Princess to the Orbaudom

「No, I wasn’t thinking about helping I was thinking of playing with my fellow children」(Vandalieu)

「Fellow children, hmm?」(Zadiris)

「Yes, my fellow children」(Vandalieu)

「Well then, you will have to wait a little longer Ah yes, why not play a board game with me?」(Zadiris)

「A board game?」(Vandalieu)

「Yes, it was gathering dust in a corner of a play room in the royal castle」(Zadiris)

In Laaent people Many board games had many pieces and the rules were difficult to understand; they weren’t so that commoners could enjoy

「Well, the board was apparently too heavy to move There are fifty different kinds of pieces, and the players choose eleven of thein with」(Zadiris)

The board games of Talosheim were no exception

「Have you already learned the rules?」(Vandalieu)

「No, I have not been free enough to do so」(Zadiris)

It see Wasn’t there a rulebook to be found with the board and pieces?

「Well then, shall we play a siame?」(Vandalieu)

Vandalieu turned one of the countless pieces of rubble that could be found anywhere in the Devil’s Nest ruins of Taloshei it

「Hohoh~」(Zadiris)

It seeic for recreational purposes counted as「resting」by Zadiris’s definition, and she watched what Vandalieu as reat interest

First, he ame board with small squares carved on it and thin, circular pieces from white stone He made the same number of similar pieces from a black stone, attached them to the white ones and he was finished

「This is a game called Reversi」(Vandalieu)

TLN: It’s a board gale it

Indeed, it was the ga a stone board and pieces

「But it seems that there is only one kind of piece?」(Zadiris)

「Yes, that’s why you can quickly learn how to play」

There was only one kind of piece used in Reversi, and the rules were far sii and chess It was also far easier to create the necessary pieces using【Golem Transmutation】

Most importantly, Vandalieu was skilled at Reversi When his uncle’s family went on family vacations and left him at home alone, he would secretly play with the Reversi set that belonged to his cousin He had also played it over the internet

He only kne the various piecesit He had played it when taking IQ tests in the research laboratory in Origin Of course, he had not found it fun at all

「This is a game where you flip the pieces that are between your own pieces, changing their color The winner is whoever has more pieces of their own color」(Vandalieu)

「I see, this is quite」(Zadiris)

The stone pieces rattled as Vandalieu enjoyed his first game of Reversi in over twenty years with Zadiris The stone pieces were heavier than the ones sold on Earth, but both of the, so it didn’t bother them

Of course, Vandalieu won the first match, but

「It seee」(Zadiris)

Zadiris noticed after one match what Vandalieu had taken years to learn

After that, the matches were even from the second match onwards

「Even though I was undefeated when I played by myself」(Vandalieu)

「」(Zadiris)

「U at some pitiful child, and if you feel sorry for me, don’t take the corners」(Vandalieu)

「This and that are separate s, boy」(Zadiris)

And as the two of therossed in their matches –

「King, I want to play too!」(Black Goblin)

『Playing so over here, aren’t you? Let me in on this!』(Borkus)

「Oh ht I ask you to teach me how to play, Van-sama?」(Tarea)

Before they knew it, the Black Goblins who had finished their training had gathered around the theathered around as well

And so Vandalieu ended up creating almost twenty Reversi sets today

「So today was a fun day as well Did I e to rest today?」(Vandalieu)

『If you had fun, then it’s fine』(Darcia)

Vandalieu had the strange feeling that he ended up doing so Reversi sets, but Darcia gave a smile as if she didn’t mind

In fact, even though Vandalieu had spent a hundred thousand Mana, it wasn’t even one percent of his total Mana pool It was an amount that would quickly recover even if he didn’t rest

『And Reversi is quite fun, isn’t it? Ah, put my piece there』(Darcia)

「Oka~ay Well then, I’ll play my piece here」(Vandalieu)

The stone piecessound

『There were no si shi+eld-nation Ah, Saria, are you going to take the corner that I was aiain?』(Sam)

『Father, co, you know?』(Saria)

『Nee-chan and Father don’t have any bone or flesh, but they’re waging a war of bone and flesh?!』(Rita)

TLN: This is a joke that plays on the japanese phrase “war of bone and flesh” which means “family quarrel”

「Hahaha, Borkus-dono It seeain」(Nuaza)

『UOOOOH! Why, why can’t I win?!』(Borkus)

『That’s because Master Borkus doesn’t take the corners, I suppose?』(titan)

「He said sos?” and refuses to put his pieces at the ends」(titan)

『Shut up! nobody asked you!』(Borkus)

「You cannot win if you get too agitated, Borkus-dono」(Nuaza)

Even while Vandalieu and Darcia were sleeping, the rattling of stone pieces against the stone boards and the voices of the Undead titans enjoying the gahout the city of Talosheim

If one were to hear rattling sounds in Talosheim, it was possible that they would not be the sounds of the Skeletons’ bonesReversi nearby

An A-class adventurer, the【Sword King】Borkus who has beco the original person’s body, his Rank and the levels of his skills are high, but as he has not fought any battles after beco the audience chamber, his level is low and he is weaker than he hen he was alive

The Undead of this world do not necessarily becoer than they hen they were alive In fact, it is more common for them to become weaker

In addition to this, Borkus was in a pitiful state after having lost his do half of its blade broken and even his ar torn to pieces He was in a condition where he could not use his【Sword King Technique】skill and his passive skills【Strengthened Attack Pohile equipped with a sword: (Large)】and【Strengthened Defensive Pohile equipped with non-metal armor: (Medium)】were not active

Because of this, despite being Rank 9, he was only as strong as a Rank 7, in a state where he an Since Borkus is proficient in a fighting style where he slays his enele attack, Vandalieu would have found Borkus to be the more difficult enemy, however

Skill explanation:

【Sword King Technique】

This is a superior version of the Swordsmanshi+p skill When the Swordsain experience, there is a chance that it transforms into a superior version

It has been confirmed that the superior versions of the Swordsmanshi+p skill include the Holy Sword Technique, the Sword Eic Blade Technique

As few possess these superior skills, it has not been accurately confirmed just how much they vary in their special characteristics and power and which skills are superior to the others

It is said in the Amid Eendary hero Bellwood is the greatest skill of theious reasons – It is not even certain that Bellwood’s skill was named the【Holy Sword God Technique】

Superior versions of other skills such as Spear Technique, Axe Technique and Unar Technique also exist; individuals who possess such skills are A-class at minimum
