Vol 2 Chapter 22 (1/2)

Level Up

On the uild’s reference room

To adventurers with guild cards, it was a room anyone could use

In it, there was information on the monsters around Dalien and various other h

There were also books with the essential knowledge for adventurers recorded

“Ah, here it is”

What I picked up was a heavy book

The one as put in charge today, the Second Generation, gave some orders from the Jewel

『Lyle, our knowledge is fundamentally old It’s not that we couldn’t teach you, but you should definitely check a modern reference book first And wait, it would be bad if you didn’t』

What the Second Generation spoke of was so I was painfully aware of

I mean, after I woke up and asked Novem about Growths, she dropped all the plates she had on hand

It was good that they were made of wood But still, since it made her look like she wanted to cry, I wanted to stop pressing her in various senses of the phrase

(Just as she thinking of to get that teary?)

The reason the Second was here to teach me about it was because he was the one who molded the Walt House’s customs

At the saot from the Forxuz House as a base to form the foundations of the true provincial noble Walt house

In order to facilitate Growth, his son and grandson… and the rest of his descendants were given a custo, it seemed

The reason I said “seemed” there was that I had never partaken in such a custom

Defeating e Growth That was a sort of superstition

The reason it was thought of as that was because Growths happened when carrying out life normally as well

There were large gaps based on individuals, and this was concluded to be based on the sort of talent one had

The Walt House’s Fourth Generation and predecessors understood the notion ofthe coordination and ability or troops for war

Of course, Fifth onwards only stuck their hands into the basics and started to trend towards leaving the rest to their subordinates

『I never thought the Third Generation, Sleigh, would fail to hand down an important part of it』

A large portion of the Walt Family’s Growth-related wisdom hen the Third died in battle… No, it was passed on in form alone it seemed, with the most important part, the contents, omitted

Becoument’s sake, upheld it because it was a custom

I sat on a nearby chair, laid the book on a table, and opened it

『Pertaining to the Connection of Growth and Slaying Monsters… it seeathered quite a few case studies there』

In it were exauild, followed by an interpretation by the author

Sudden changes in one’s senses or physique were known as 『Growth』, and it seemed the study of them has continued from times old

As I flipped through page after another, the Second halted me

『Stop! Lyle, you’re a little fast Actually, I’m surprised you can even read at that pace』

I looked around, andbefore I responded

It didn’t look like there were all toothe resource room

“Well, ic and swordsmanshi+p outside”

I mean, that really was my life since I started to be rejected

Thinking back, it was as if I was locked inside the mansion

『There’s quite a bit of beneficial information put down, but based on my experience, it’s a little different』

Hearing hihtly different, I offered an explanation of what I had just learned about Growth

The current established theory was that humans stored up various life experiences, and those bloomed in a phenomenon called Growth

For that sake, fighting e type of experience, and not what facilitated Growth in itself

That was a bit convoluted, but prettymonsters caused one to experience Growth, but that Groas the result of accumulated life experience Apparently

“Is there a problem in that?”

『No, that’s not wrong, but… it’s definitely possible to accelerate the process byI mean, in just what I can recall, I felt Growth at least nine times』

Nine, when a civilian would go through one or tas quite irregular

A h it four to five times

“Grandfather… the Seventh had quite some experience on the battlefield, did he not?”

The Second expressed his theory

『I think you can accumulate experience like that too, but the efficiency with er than me, it felt much faster』

“Stronger ones, is it?”

By battling against stronger and stronger ene to the Second

『Of course, if you defeat enough small fries, it’ll happen eventually too Back inthe soldiers go through theroup battles That was back when I made records and worked earnestly』

Without any useful knowledge, having suddenly received the seat of fa learned the state the reason was in

What wasbut the First’s charisma

Despite his barbarian style, as, the First was quite respected by those of the same sort

『Even if you get in experience of the same quantity, the speed of personal Growth and Growth rate varied There were some who experienced them at the same time, but within them, there were some times when only a portion of them did Besides, in their worst fields, I felt quite a bit of Growth from some』

It wasn’t like you’d yourself rapidly change

Just that… there was a wall you were never able to go past, and you finally surpassed it That sort of sensation

That was Growth

“What about my type of person?”

『Individuals can grasp it intuitively, so I can’t really say anything about that… but you should be able to recognize a change within yourself The fact that you hadn’t experienced one was shocking, though』

Starting with the Second, the ancestors had listened to my words in surprise

In any case, it was a phenomenon that everyone experienced

Children experienced one in the first half of their teens, or even before ten if early Adults confirmed that and ie on Growths

That was coe…

(But I didn’t know that)

I thought, as I continued to turn the pages

『It’s just that there’re a lot of superstitions and lies about stories like these Back in my day, there was a trend called a power stone that was supposed to speed up Growth, but it wasn’t effective at all…』

“I see you tried it”

The Second’s tone had gone dark, so I was able to co it

What’sevidence that he had been fooled was quite difficult

『In the end, it ended up that their sale was prohibited on Walt territory Good grief, those were some severe expenses, you know』

With the Second, I continued all the way to the end of the book There was still so time with Novem and Aria, so I picked up another one

There was one book that had caught the Second’s interest

I returned the thick guide to its for book in hand, and returned to my seat

“What sort of book is this?”

『No, I just found it interesting due to its age Lyle, can you read that book?』

Hearing that, I tried to read it, but perhaps because of the changing of times, or the author’s way of expression, it was ue

“It’s a bit difficult, but I can e”

『Really? Then I guess that’s it…』

When I voiced , it see, and he told ht if I put the book back already

『Well then, you can’t leave the Ladies waiting Lyle, how about we arrive at thepoint early?』

“Understood (Just as he trying to learn from that?)”

I was curious, but it didn’t seem like the Second was in the mood to answer

–

–

–

The uild with good public order

For better or worse, the guild contained quite a few ruffians

Within all of that,the two of them may invite a bit of trouble

In order to avoid so like that aspoint

Before it became noon, I arrived at the space

I was a little early Our set time was in the afternoon

Aroundtaken out of a saucepan filled with oil

So it was so fried

The First Generation reacted to that

『Oy, Lyle What sort of food is that?』

There were some people I occasionally saw around me, so I put my hand to my mouth and responded in a small voice

Looking at the nearby cart, it looked like he became curious

“It looks like so made of potato fried in oil”

As I said that, the First showed his admiration

『I see, so there are things like that as well My tis…』

The First said the time he lived in was one where the chaos finally died down, and where they went through quite so back on their feet

It seems we’ve an incomparable abundance of resources than the world he sao hundred years ago

『It’s a good era』

The Third said that, and the Fifth opened his mouth

『I think that flowed in during our time They could be cultivated, even in the wastelands, so I re in quite a harvest』

The Sixth was the same

『Those were nice Because of theer increased』

Froave a subdued whisper

『I see… then oal is…』

There, I heard another voice

“Lyle-sama”

It was Novem

She ca of paper

『Okay, Lyle… take their bags Also, be cautious with your choice of words You’ve noticed that both of their clothes are different than usual, right?』

The Fourth gave me some advice

I suddenly noticed, but both of the

“Ah, that looks heavy I’ll carry it”

As I took their bags, I found they really did have soht

“Thank you, Lyle-sama”

“Eh, well… I’m fine with my own”

As Aria refused, Nove into her ear

And Aria presented her baggage to me She seemed a little troubled, but it didn’t look like she was threatened, or anything

(What did she tell her? More importantly…)

Unlike when I saw the prettier attire than usual

(H-how am I supposed to praise them!?)

As I stared at them, Aria spoke

“W-what? I-if it doesn’t suit me, then just say it…”

After she said that much, the First called out

『Lyle! Coh heavens!』

But the Second gave a cold reaction

『Did you ever even compliment my mother?』

Before things would become a mess, the Fourth issued some orders

『For now, tell them that it suits them The reason you were silent for a while was because you were surprised about their change in atmosphere Say it』
