Tensei Jinsei o Tanoshimou
…Here is…
Unfamiliar ceiling…
I see... I’ve survived that convenience store incident, huh?
Is this a hospital room?
I’ve never been hospitalized before so I don’t know but this place seems to be much more luxurious than what I’ve seen on TV. Why was I brought here? Was I brought to another country’s hospital? I don’t think that is the case, but I don’t believe that this is a Japanese room or building.
In a western style room, I lay in bed.
“%＆’％＄＃”＃’＆＃＃’”
Uooooah!
A foreigner?
“$%’”＆＝’％＄”＆＄％”
It’s a language that I’ve never heard of...
A race different from Japanese…than a western European…it’s closer to Middle Eastern with a chiseled face and black hair… without a doubt an ossanda (old man).
I’ve got no idea what you are saying. I’m no good with my body but it’s different for my brain - Japanese naturally, English, French, German, Greek, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, I could speak all of it but, Arabic - mostly I don’t remember it.
…I’m troubled…for now, let’s talk in English…
“Where am I?
“＄＆’！＃＄％’％＃”
English was not good…
French – Nope.
German - Nope.
Greek - Nope.
Cantonese - Nope.
Korean - Nope.
It’s hopeless.
He left the room. I’m being left alone huh? I’m pretty sure that I was stabbed by a knife. I’m feeling uneasy whether I could move my body or not… there’s no pain either nor freedom… how to say it, I’m feeling quite relaxed because there’s no pain.
Although a big tree is visible from the windows, no other information is available.
He came back. He came with two women though, it seems neither is a nurse- one person is wearing a luxurious dress like a royalty’s evening dress, and the other is wearing a maid uniform. The women that was wearing a dress was at least in her twenties, blonde with blue eyes and with a model like figure. The maid seems not to have yet reached 20, I think, and has a beauty that was in no way inferior to that of the dressed woman. It’s a bishoujo.
“＋”＄；＆’！＃・＄％’％＃”
Haa?!?
While I was thinking of what the women in the dress would do, she hugged me. I should be happy that I’m being hugged by a beauty but there’s no reaction from my son... it is probably because I'm recuperating that I’m not reacting - right?! At this time, as I don’t know what those people are talking about, I’m struck with drowsiness and begin to fall asleep.
Chapter 3 Magic
Chapter 4 No Chant
“I devoted you a little magic, create a little ball, destroy this thing”
2 days after the explanation, I was doing some training in order to chant the ice magic Iceball but, it was not going well. Today I’m able to make an Iceball in my palm but, my magic ended before the ball finishes it’s form.
“Christoph-sama, swordsmanship training will begin soon you know.”
Vice-Captain Federa came to call while holding his wooden sword.
“It’s difficult to activate the magic, huh.”
I was caught off guard by Vice-Captain Federa’s unexpected remark.
“I’m not good with magic, so I don’t know what to say… in swordsmanship how I moved and how will my enemy move while imaging it, we move but, in the case of magic I don’t know. I’m sorry.”
Huh, an image is important in swordsmanship. I didn’t know that. From now on let’s add image training into the menu. Wait a minute! Is it possibly magic need an image too? Chanting too is a kind of image, huh? There’s a probability in it… Let’s try it during free time.
From here on, I’ll try to make an image of the enemy during my wooden sword training. Though, to make an image and 100 swings of the sword is still too far to reach.
The manners lesson somehow was done though, so I’ll take a little break, and then begin doing some magic image training.
“Thank you, Luna.”
“Every day only doing training, I’m a little worried about Christoph-sama’s health.”
Luna, who serves the tea is worried about me. Luna is my personal maid, she’s been working in this mansion for 5 year as my personal maid. It’s no wonder that’s she’s worried, I was been bedridden 1 year ago.
It’s because at last I could move my body, and I want a body that will immune from any illness.”
Since magic users are regarded as have long lives, if I could train my body I could be alive for a long time.
“The tea that Luna made is good as always.”
“Thank you very much and if possible, don’t work yourself too hard.”
“I’ll be careful.”
I make a conversation to enjoy the break. Luna is 5 years older than Christoph and has big breasts and nice proportions. She is a bishoujo too, so looking at her is a delight to the eyes.
Alright, my break is over and there’s no problem with my body, let’s start magic image training. First is to closing my eyes and letting my mana flow while imaging an Iceball’s size and hardness. The radius is 5 cm, the hardness is as hard as iron is enough isn’t it? I felt mana flow from my body when I opened my eyes, approximately a 10cm Iceball was created in my palm.
Until this far is success. Maybe because the image is clear that the Iceball is floating in the air steadily. When try to touch it, it feels like a mass of ice. Next is it’s flying speed. For now 150 km/h is okay. When I was still in Japan I liked baseball. I’ve seen many times of balls that were being thrown in a stadium and speaking about that, 150 km/h would be quite fast.
Fire!
Kyuun~tsu! (whoosh), Dogaaatsu! (BAM!!)
…Eh?
Baki baki (snap snap)… Dokkan! (KABOM!!)
…The Iceball hits the tree but the place that the Iceball hit had a big hole. Due to that hole, the tree is falling down.
Turning around Luna is looking at me with her eyes wide open.
“…Christoph-sama?”
“Apparently it’s successful?”
Success is good right? The Iceball properly flew!
“…I think the Iceball’s ability is exceeding expectations though?”
It’s not like I’m not thinking about it… but, the Iceball is strong. That’s right, it accelerated faster because it’s hardness was like iron. It’s a decent power for a steel ball that has the speed of 150 km/h, if it hits a person, that person would definitely die.
That day, Mother came from inside the house because of the sound. I explained about the big sound and the fallen tree, then Master Rosalia is called and I do Iceball again in front of her.
“No chant?!”
Ah, I just remember that I didn’t chant… I noticed it because of the cry of Master Rosalia that I’m not chanting.
“Christoph is a genius in magic ne!’
Mother is dancing in joy. No chant seems like a high skill that even Master Rosalia can’t do. I did it?
Father came back from the imperial capital by chance and got a report from Mother about this incident. Upon hearing that, Father wants me to enter the Royal Magic School in order to make me a Court Magician. It became quite a big commotion.
Originally, there was a possibility that I had gotten an affinity with all attributes. Father was wavering whether to let me enter or not, but because of this incident my future has been determined, so, in spring of next year I’ll enroll in the Royal Magic School. I guess I’m not going to became a Viscount that will rule a little city?
Then in order to increase magic training Father wants to lessen the swordsmanship training but I’m able to make the swordsmanship training continue because I want to train my body and at least be able to swing the sword a 100 times. While I’m not aiming to became a knight nor swordsman, building stamina is important and Master Rosalia agrees with me.
Chapter 6 Travels 2
Monsters have attacked us several times on our way through the mountain roads. When I asked if the amount of monster attacks on us was normal, “it’s been half a month since the last subjugation” is the reply I got.
Fortunately, the next subjugation will soon be carried out. If that’s what will happen, it should be better if they had done the subjugation before we departed. Besides this time the fact that monster have generated in large amounts has been confirmed so the subjugation will happen soon. I think it’s better to make a fort garrison here and place some soldiers in case something happens, but it seems there’s some sort of circumstance that doesn’t allow for it.
When you exit the mountain roads there was a meadow and forest, and we arrived at a big town. If you compared it to von Bryutzel’s territory, it’s a small town but, when you compare it to the villages and settlements that we passed so far, it is a big town.
“Today we’ll stay at an inn this town. Because we had arrived here we’ll soon reach the capital. How is Christoph-sama physical condition, is it alright?”
My physical condition is good, but my arse hurts because of the long trip. It makes me always praying to end this trip as soon as possible. I never thought that a trip in a horse-drawn carriage will hurt my arse this much. In the carriage there’s nothing like suspension, though it has a cushion, comparing it to car or train in Japan is like heaven and earth.
“My condition is alright”
Whether Mother is accustomed with travel, or she is just keeping patient, she put an okay look but in my perspective she look fatigued.
“Since we’ll stay in this village for 2 nights, we’ll depart on the 3rd day”
I’m saved! If I remodel the suspension on the carriage, there will be no need to get emergency treatment for my arse anymore. I mean, as long as there is a village or small settlement I can use the material to make something.
“Mother, is it alright for me to take a stroll in the city?”
“That’s right, how about it huh.”
“Ma’am, Christoph-sama may be dispirit to walk around after this long journey, how about we give him an escort so he doesn’t go into the slums area?”
Hanna, such a nice follow!
“Alright. Hanna please arrange the escort and Christoph, you must never run away from the escort.”
“Yes!”
This town’s name is Fildes, governed by earl Filiam. The specialty is the orange fruit. They say that 60% of the capital’s oranges are being exported from here. Moreover, the forest near here has a monster spot that became their financial lifeline because of the dropped crystals.
My escort number is four, standing side by side to my left and right. To say it clearly they are annoying but they are needed for shaking away disturbing people, so I walk around the town with them.
To think that the first town that I explore is not in von Bryutzel’s territory nor the capital makes me a bit emotional. The buildings are made of brick and are pleasing to my eyes as they have a European style.
It seems this place is not only an orange producing area but is also used for processing. Orange juice is sold here. The 100% orange juice here and the orange juice I drank in Japan before has the same bitter sweet and sour taste, though this world’s lukewarm temperature is a minus. In this world there’s no custom to cool down the drink beforehand. People here drink it like ale while it is warm. That’s why, when I remodeled the warehouse at our home, in von Bryutzels territory to a refrigeration room for cooling drinks, Mother felt happy from the bottom of her heart. Knight teams began to diligently patrol around our mansion every day in order to drink the cold ale.
While walking around the town from time to time I see people that have different kinds of ears. That is the classic thing of the fantasy world that is named kemonomimi – beast ears. There are tails and wings too it seems, quite a verity of races here. My race is hyuman and in this world there are many races and persons apart from hyumans. The representative were Beastmen, Elves, Dwarves, Majin and many more.
Holy Van Damme Kingdom is a country of hyumans but does not discriminate against other race, it doesn’t even discriminate against Majin. This is because the first king is a Japanese hero who commanded to abolish the discrimination of other race severely. Other countries might not have rules against discrimination of other race like Holy Van Damme Kingdom. When you talking about this with people, it seems that a country that does not discriminate against other race is unusual. An example of a country that had a discrimination against other race is the Saint Orion Nation, a country of hyuman supremacy. Saint Orion Nation is being ruled by the Pope of their religion, does religion really discriminate against other races and tribes? I can’t understand it.
While talking about this let’s talk about the other continents too. The place I am right now is the central continent, the biggest out of the 4 continents. In this continent there are 4 powers (countries); the Holy Kingdom Van Damme, the Saint Orion Nation that I mentioned earlier, and there is a dwarven country - Jegan Republic, and hyuman country Bossam Empire.
Bossam Empire is a country that is harsh to live in for anyone beside hyumans because of the discrimination, but for Jegan Empire beside tribal fights, there’s no race discrimination. Based on what I heard Jegan Empire excels in combat power production and technical capabilities.
Chapter 7 Slave
When I arrived at an item store that I had my eyes on. While searching for a Zabuton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zabuton ) like cushion, the store inside became noisy.
“Pardon me… tsu.”
Doka rattle rattle gashan (SFX)
A large sound is being produced inside the store and there is a man that is wearing heavy armor pushing a girl. The girl is buried in the goods that fell from the shelves.
“How dare a dirty slave like you touch my sword! What if you defiled my important sword? Aaa!”
The big man seems to be a knight though, as he seems to wear some practical armor. Probably he is an adventurer or a mercenary. The girl that the person pushed looks about 10 years old dressed in a single piece of cloth, the collar on her neck indicating that she is a slave.
The big man kicking the girl in her abdomen repeatedly, while the girl raised her voice. The girl seems to be unconscious after being repeatedly kicked. More of this and the girl will die. Someone must stop this, but the clerk stays still and there was no sign that someone will intervene. The reason is whether they afraid of the big man or they don’t care about the slave.
“Isn’t that enough already? More than that she’ll die you know?”
Since there’s no one that stops it, I voiced my complaint. It’s not like I care about what happens to other people but, I just don’t like seeing a 10 years old kid dying because of violence from a big man. This Holy Van Damme Kingdom is free of discrimination but slaves are still being treated like a thing. Even if a slave is a person, they don’t give them treatment like a person. I don’t oppose slavery, but I think that the way of thinking of them like a thing must to be changed. Well, I need to deal with the problem in front of me.
“Who the heck is this brat?”
He should know from my clothes and escort that I am a noble…
“I am a brat huh? Then you are idiot!”
“What did you say!”
The big man lifts my collar. What the heck is this idiot’s template? When dealing with a noble, one wrong move is suicidal. Every adult should now that. This big man is an idiot that wants suicide huh?
Indeed being gripped by my collar hurts. Letting out a lightning attribute Magic Stun at the big man makes the gripping hand become loose and naturally I fell down on my arse. Escort what are you doing?
“Ouch, Levis, catch this person and hand him over to the guards.”
By my words the escorts surround the big man.
“Who the heck are you guys?! I’m a Rank B adventurer. Wanna fight me huh?”
The big man hand became useless because of the effect of the Magic Stun. Due to his resistance I’m letting out 1 more Magic Stun into his muscles, because of that there’s not much effort to apprehend him.
“I don’t know who you are but because you attacked a noble, you’ve got to received a punishment.”
“Wha! What did you say!”
“Levis, tell this person his charges.”
“Yes! Using abusive language towards the noble Christoph-sama, based on his sin he needs to receive a capital punishment”
“Ca, capital punishment you say? I didn’t do anything?!”
“You just did what Levis say. Do I have a slave collar on me? Look at my appearance, look at the escort, even with that you attacked me you know?”
“I didn’t notice that kind of thing! Don’t kid with me!”
“Annoying, Shut up! Shop keeper, this girl is your slave?”
While kicking the big man’s face, I looked at the store shop keeper.
“Ye, yes. It is degozaru (sayou degozaru)”
“Why didn’t you stop this guy’s violence?”
“I, I’m sorry (moshiwakearimasen).”
The shopkeeper that was being flustered and can’t make a good reply.
“Heal this girl immediately.”
“Tha, that is….”
This world has healing magic but it needs an enormous amount of money so for a slave to be healed is unlikely.
“Shop keeper, I have a condition, I’ll do the healing so can you give that girl to me?”
“Ye, yes, that is of course I will. If she is left like that without being treated she will die so I’ll leave her to you for no charge.”
“Christoph-sama, is it alright to do this without confirmation of your mother?” whispers Levis.
Levis is the knight squad leader, he’s ikemen (handsome cool guy). Because he is an ikemen and because in my previous life I was unpopular, he is my enemy!
“In this condition she needs emergency treatment. I’ll persuade Mother to forgive you later for not helping me. Shopkeeper, hurry up and call the guards.”
The shopkeeper forsook his shop and dash out of the shop door. All right then, let’s do it for this girl. If she dies then it doesn’t make sense to help her.
“High heal”
I could invoke magic without letting out a voice but, to make it look natural I invoke the magic name. The girl’s body is wrapped by a thin light, while I get the feeling of my mana being sucked out. High heal is an intermediate light magic attribute, thus the spell can heal even internal organs so it should be fine now.
The clerk has come back and has brought the guards with him. Then the insolent behavior that the big man did to me had been reported, the punishment has been chosen based on the testimony, and the big man’s execution is decided. Based on what he did to me it’s too much for an execution because I’ve got no big injuries is what other people must be thinking, but if this big man is alive he will do something like that again. For the people and for the good he must repent his sin. I have no tolerance for this type of fellow.
“Captain-san, about this slave, for the price of the treatment I took over ownership of her. I would like Captain-san to be the witness for it.”
“Understood, I, Kajil, will accept the duty.”
The Guard Captain’s name seems to be Kajil. When he realized that I am from von Bryutzel Margrave family, he seems to have panicked. Well, it’s simply because von Bryutzel Margrave is from a great nobility. This thing will be a big problem because of the Captain’s clumsiness, of course he’s panicking.
For changing the ownership of the slave we must to go to the Commercial Guild but the girl will stay in an unconscious state. There’s no choice but to go back to inn and let her sleep but I’ll getting chewed out by Mother there. The one that got chewed out by Mother is me because of my actions, however, she didn’t say anything to the slave girl because she is cute and there’s a feeling to take care of her. Is that alright Mother! (Sore daijoubu desuka hahaue!)
