Ria talked with Serge in a low voice on Matsukaze’s back.
Serge smoothly exposed that he used Identify.
When Ria lived in the imperial capital she knew of multiple reincarnated people, but avoided them.
The other reincarnated people only faintly recalled memories of their previous life. Although having knowledge of another world, for instance the scientific field, could gain someone considerable achievements, according to Rufus there would have to be a person with exact memories of it.
However, this boy seemed different.
“That’s news to me.”
“What~? But Ria-san clearly remembers?”
“Dragon’s Bloodline? That Gift sounds kind’ve cool. How many points was it?”
“Wha-!?”
“Eeh-! Eeeeeh!? One thousand!? I had two hundred points that they said it was a considerable amount, just what did you do in your last life!? Mass murder!?”
The two who were following them had questioning faces on while looking at the boy shouting in a cryptic language.
“Since my specialty isn’t ancient languages, I…”
Lulu wasn’t able to distinguish Japanese from an ancient language.
“That’s bad to say about someone. The goddess definitely said that the strength of my soul was high, and gave me a lot of points for helping other people.”
In that case, it’s both amazing and terrible.
“Is Identify that needed? Couldn’t you learn it easily with magic?”
Serge asked excitedly. Ria responded a little embarrassed.
Serge’s mouth opened wide. With an amazed expression, signs of understanding appeared.
“I played up to Dragon Quest II. As for books… I liked the author Futaro Yamada.”[TN: Futaro Yamada, awarded for a prize by a magazine for writing mystery novels.]
For those aiming to fight in the way of the ninja’s practical strength and traditional martial arts, Ria would stand at the top.
After that the two reminisced about their previous lived. Surprisingly, Serge died at the youthful age of twenty.
Rather than Gifts for close combat, he wanted the romantic Magic Talent.
“Identify and Item Box are indispensable skills according to novels with reincarnation. That’s why I picked up Identify first, and got Time-Space Magic to be able to make an Item Box.”
Compared to the fixed space in the magic bag that Ria and Lulu have, the limit of his Item Box depends on the amount of magic he has. Additionally, time doesn’t pass for the stored item. Considerably better performance.
“The ability to make weapons you imagine sounds good. Like a machine gun or nuke, or even sci-fi tech.”
“Well, I preferred katanas in my past life. If I could make something from imagining it, I’ve carefully looked at Masamune and Muramasa.”
“In my previous life, I once cut off an arm though.”
“It’s ancient Japanese martial arts. I practiced the sword and decided to have a genuine duel. Because they didn’t want us to kill each other, the observer stopped us when my opponent lost an arm.”
“I’m thirteen. I killed a goblin for the first time at ten.”
Still, people at the same age as Ria couldn’t compare with her killing calendar. She was able to treat goblins and orcs as pests, so there was no question about it.
Continuing that kind of a conversation, the group arrived at Serge’s village.
By the way, after being able to talk with Lulu for a long time, Carlos was happy.
The exchange was very simple.
Although Serge was praised, his parents scolded him severely. It should be said that he tried to keep a calm expression on.
Anyway, Carlos met with a knight and came to know of it, so he negotiated with the parents.
Serge wanted to join the travelling party.
When the person himself asked, Ria accepted.
“Speaking of ten years old, I’d already attacked a goblin village.”
But Ria insisted firmly. The millennium was looming in the background, approaching.
Saying that our destination is the labyrinth city, the two were persuaded at last. If it’s there, it’s probably the best place to safely raise levels.
Negotiations with Serge’s parents promptly came to a close.
She had nothing to teach Serge anymore. With the old magician saying that, Serge attracted cheers from the children of the village.
The party left the village on the next day.
“Speaking of which, didn’t Nee-chan say she’s a Casalian aristocrat?”
“Oh… what a cheat…”
The donkey and horses’ backs swayed, and the party set their sights on the labyrinth city. Between them and their destination stretched a land where no humans lived.
Entering the domain of demi-humans and beastkin, they began to feel excited.
