41 Episode 41 Reunion and Disclosure (1/2)

We stayed in Lex's hometown.

At first, I was going to stay until Mina finished reading Rex's textbook, which happened to be the reason I found out that there were sword moves and restorative magic textbooks besides magic.

After experiencing the out-of-consciousness prowess of the people in Lex's village, we thought we were on track to the point where we were a little trained by Lex.

So because of this, I found other textbooks, and I chose to stay in the village for a long time trying to train in earnest.

Nevertheless, you can't always be sweet about the goodwill of Rex's parents.

So we decided to work in the village.

Gyro helps with hunting, Mina with Mr. Astrea's field work, Norb with all kinds of chores and recovery magic against the village grandparents, and I help with Jewel Apple's care.

All seemingly chores, but those help was literally life-threatening.

”Ugh, why is this field so big... it's just a bunch of freaky weeds that don't burn completely with normal magic, and it's so big that you won't do it unless you use water sprinklers or magic... and it's too hard to make Arlaune fertilizer...”

Mina is still falling out of magic today.

”I'm done transporting today's stones... and there's only one chore I can't do properly without physical strengthening magic... heal before bed... magic...”

Norb, who has helped with chores all over the village, did his best.

”Hey, I couldn't even hunt one today. It's too fast...”

All the children I went hunting with hunted down all the prey, and Gyro's pride, full of just following him, was already lame.

And when I say...

”Jewel, the pests that flock to Apple suck. Big, strong, hard, fast and numerous.”

Yeah, the pest control work swarming Jewel Apple was beyond my imagination.

Obviously, the only bug that looks like a demon comes wacko.

They have junction magic around the trees, but they still catch me by the smell and bugs come hiatus, so I had to get rid of them.

”Look, the bugs keep coming.”

The sight of Obasan, the apple farmer, exterminating a spa and a giant bug demon in Nata did not seem to belong to this world.

”” ”” Tight ”” ”

Is this really human land?

◆

It was us and so forth, but if I had spent my days learning in a textbook made by Mr. Rex, I would have managed to help a little.

”Thanks to even the use of magic, I've been able to increase my magic efficiency and magic accuracy lately, so I don't have to run out of magic.”

”Yay! I can finally hunt my own prey! I'm not letting him and the others alone with their prey anymore! Now I can put my hunted prey on the table, not leave it to your father!

”Lately, I'm starting to get the hang of getting rid of the pests. Like where to cut a stiff shell, how to preface how a fast opponent moves.”

You were all completely successful and growing to look like us before you came to the village.

”I also worked with physical strengthening magic all the time, and I kept hanging restorative magic on myself every day, so I'm pretty confident I'm recovering. Recently, my grandfather and I have a reputation for healing magic.”

”Ha ha! You can go see Lex's brother with your chest up if you want! You're stronger!

”Right!

Yes, it was all thanks to meeting Mr. Rex that we became so strong.

The next time I see you, I need to thank you with all my heart.

We're finally getting to work, and we're going back to Mr. Rex's home where we feel good about taking care of him.

”” ”I'm home” ”

”Welcome back.”

And, as usual, Mr. Rex welcomed me in.

”” ””... Huh?

For some reason, I can see Mr. Rex.

And you can also see a strange woman on the side.

”Hey guys, long time no see”

Once again, Mr. Rex has spoken to me.

And I mean...

”” ”” Why are you here? ””

◆

”I'm home, Mom and Dad.”

It's been a long time since I've been home, and I decided to wait until my parents told me that you guys were staying in Gyro.

I was actually going to show you my face and go home.

But in the meantime, when I introduced Liliera to my parents, it was hard for them to mistake me for a lover for some reason.

”Oh well, Mother, have you gone early? Regards, Liliera, my child.”

”Yes! Leave it to me, Mother!!”

Mrs Liliera is too nervous.

If I had done that, Gyro, you guys would have come back.

”Welcome back.”

”” ”” Hey, why are you here? ””

No, no, you're too surprised.

You just came home, didn't you?

”We built a house in Wangdu, so we made a little comeback with our gate.”

”Home in Wangdu!?”

”Our Gate!?”

”I mean, who is that person?

”Uh, it's been a while.”

Gyro, you guys are going to ask questions early. [M]

”Save a little money. It's not good to just save up, so I built a house. The top adventurers were recommended by the Alliance to have a base.”

”Oh, is B-rank that great?

My mother, who doesn't know much about adventurers, asks, but the information is a little old.

”Yeah, now I'm an S-rank, not a B-rank”

”Oh! That's my brother! Already s... S?

And, rarely, Gyro, you stop the words.

”” ”” S langkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!? ”” ”

Gyro, you shout in silence. [M]

Haha, you're too surprised.

”Yeah, S-rank. I got promoted the other day.”

”Hey, what would make you an S-rank so fast!?”

I doubt that either. [M]

”I've defeated a few S-rank demons, I guess.”

”Some S-rank demons...”

No, it wasn't just that big of a deal when I said S-rank.

”So, who's that guy?

Oops.

”This man is Mr. Liliera. They're my party buddies.”

”” ”” Party buddies!? ””

Everyone's gaze turns to Mr. Liliera at once.

”Uh, I'm a regular B-rank, so don't expect weird”

Haha, that's humble.

”Mr. Liliera is a brilliant B-rank adventurer. Is it time to be promoted to A-rank in strength?

”A-rank promotion is still a long way off. It's only recently that I've been promoted to B-rank.”

”... even though it looks like the same year as ours, B-rank”

Gyro, you seem to have been inspired by the presence of a near-old Liliera.

”Build a house in Wang Du or something. It's not a hell of a good property...”

Uh, I built a house in a pretty good place, so I guess so.

”I can team up with Rex and everything. It's amazing.”

That's right, Mr. Megli seems to have noticed Mr. Liliera's qualities.

”Uh, congratulations on your S-rank promotion”

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Norb.

”You said you were connecting the gate earlier at the place. What do you mean?

Whoa, that's just the wizard, and Mr. Mina seems concerned about the gate.

”Yeah, because you created a base. I made a gate so I could get to all kinds of places. So, as the first link, it connects to my parents' gate, which I had prepared for when something happened. Now you can always come home to your parents.”

”Oh, that's not convenient. Can your mothers go to Wangdu whenever they want?

My mother seems interested in the gate and asks.

”The security precautions are preventing me from moving if I'm not with you, but if you're with me, it's only a few moments before Wang Du.”

”Well, that's nice. Let's go on a date in Wangdu next time, Father.”

”Huh? Ah, oh. Right. Yeah, I guess that's good too.”

We're both as close as ever.

”Mr. Mina, is the gate that easy to make?

Mr. Norb, who has no professional knowledge because he is a monk, asks the wizard Mina about the gate.

”You can't do that! The point is, it's metamagic! Legendary Transfer Magic! If they find out this is real, the world will change!

It's easy to make a transfer device.

They just make entrances and exits, distort and connect spaces.

”Oh, yes, because of that. Shall I invite you all to the house of the king's capital?

”Huh!? To Aniki's house!?”

”Yeah, I made it, so it would be nice to invite customers. How about the fathers?

I also invite my fathers to Wang Du's house... or I originally intended to do so.

”No, because we also have field work and hunting. Let me see you next time.”

”Oh, I'm sorry.”

”Mother, don't interfere too much with the lives of one or two of my sons”

Uh, I just re-told you that we live together, but that means we're partying with Mr. Lilliera, right?

”So, Gyro, what do you guys do?

”” ””... if ””

When I turned to you, Gyro, they were discussing something between the four of us.

And they're done with the consultation, so I turn to this one.

”Whoa! Of course I'm coming! We wanted to test the results of our training, too!

”Thank you for your time, Mr. Ryde and Mr. Astrea, but it's time for us to get back to our adventurers' work.”

Mr. Norb bows his head deeply to his mothers to thank them.

That's just monks and polite.

”Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it'd been a long time since Rex was gone.”

”I have no choice, Mother. They're too young to stay in one place.”

I forgive my father for his lonely mother.

”If you leave soon, it will be a nuisance to all of you who helped you with your work, so we want you to let us know that you will return once and then continue to help you to a good place in Kiri.”

”Oh, well, I'll pick you up again when the day's over.”

”Yeah, well, nice to meet you.”

Well, then, Gyro, I guess I'll go back to the buyout to get you guys ready.

And my mother grabbed my hand when I stood up.

”I'm home because of you, so stay the night.

”... Yes”

Mother's smile contained unsaid power.

◆

Gyro, when the day was set for you to return, me and Mr. Liliera went back to King's Capital to prepare to welcome them.

And a few days later, after I finished helping, I brought you out of the village feeling good, and I brought you to the king's capital.

”Welcome everyone. This is the house I built in the king's capital!

That said, the gate is in the house, so you won't feel like you've come to Wang Du after a long look.
