CH 184

: Family (2)

" Was there any such thing as an appointment ceremony in the first place?"

As the Archmage was a master class, I expected that there would be something on the national level.

However, since he was reincarnated as Jamie Welton, the master class did not appear and there was no such appointment ceremony.

"Isn't it normal? A master class is a country's best power. Such an existence was born, and of course the event should be held at the national level."

"It is, but ."

"It's annoying. It bothered me a lot too."

Siegfried sighed briefly, as if recalling the past.

Even thinking about it now, the Archmage appointment ceremony was very tiring. As with the preparation process, it was not a very good thing for him to receive congratulations from the nobles at the royal castle as he was a slave.

He's used to living now, and the nobles are nothing more than nothing in front of him, but at that time he had a pretty serious sense of damage.

That part was annoying. I was also very tired mentally.

'Well, Confucius' situation is different, but .'

It might be more cumbersome.

After the appointment ceremony, all kinds of nobles will approach you from the party.

How many appeals did he receive from being a slave himself? But if the master class was Jamie Welton, the eldest son of the Welton family, on that day alone, he would receive more attention than the royal family.

Oh yeah. Come to think of it, I got a letter from the Count."

"To your father?"

Yeah.

Jamie's eyes widened at the news of the letter from Earl Wellton.

3 months ago.

The Weltons, who heard the news late after the incident, tried to run to the world of magic right away.

But Jamie asked them not to come, thinking that they would be sad if they faced each other as they were.

Mother Sears tried to come anyway, asking what that meant, but Earl Wellton, who understood his son's feelings, barely stopped him from coming to the magical realm.

I knew it was invalid.

If your son is seriously injured, how can you not worry?

But Jamie only wanted to show them a healthy side.

He seldom wrote a letter. At most twice a month.

The last letter came a month ago, so it's only been a month since I received the letter.

try reading this please.

Siegfried, who handed the letter, closed his eyes with a look of not to worry.

Jamie opened the letter with a sinful heart.

[To my dear son Jamie.

Have you recovered much of your health?

Your mother still wets the blanket with tears when she thinks of you.

Even Sarah cried just thinking about her brother.

This father is also heartbroken.

The fact that he still can't see his beloved son.

However, he could not take care of how his son was fighting the demons and how he didn't want to worry his parents, so he refrained from contacting him as much as possible.

It's been three months like that.

Is your body much better?

As there is a saying that no news is good news, I try to wait patiently, but it's not easy.

I'm happy though.

The opportunity for my proud son to rise to such a high honor has come and I will be able to meet him soon.

Then, my dear son, let's see it that day.]

father ."

Still, it was a car whose body was almost in perfect condition.

I was going to visit Heiss for a while to see my parents, but it seemed that my family was also coming to the Archmage appointment ceremony.

'Of course?'

The Welton family is one of the great families of Seldam, and since the family has produced an archmage, it makes no sense not to attend.

Jamie had been a nobleman for 8 years, but had never enjoyed a noble life, so he was completely ignorant in this regard.

When I thought of meeting my family after a long time, the corners of my lips naturally rose.

It's been a while since we've seen each other, so I don't know what to say. I'll have to apologize first.

With that in mind, I tried to fold the letter, but there was one more line at the bottom.

[P.S. Remember the sisters of the ballet family? They said they would come too. Hahaha.]

haha what is it?

Jamie frowned slightly.

How can you not remember the ballet sisters?

One is Jane's reincarnation, and the other is a very tomboy.

Most of all, both children had a crush on them.

Jamie scratched his chin for nothing.

It's been over half a year since the last time I saw you, so I didn't think that those feelings would still be there.

They're kids anyway There was no way the feeling of love back then would remain.

'It would be nice to see you after a long time though.'

It was Jamie who acknowledged the change in her emotions in this case.

They will also be able to see them with new eyes.

Confucius. How long will you close your eyes?"

" But why are you closing your eyes?"

Siegfried's eyes widened at those words.

and said

Iknow, right?

The two looked at each other and started laughing hahahaha.

* * *

As soon as Jamie got out of the business with Siegfried, he was about to head straight to his dorm.

Hey.

Unless someone called from behind.

But at the cheeky call, I just moved on without looking back.

Hey!

Perhaps he thought he was being ignored, the person who called him blocked his way.

Jamie looked at the woman blocking her with an annoyed look on her face.

A beautiful woman with a decadent face and pale skin.

The sixth elder was Adelhardt.

"Are you again?"

"Again? come again?"

"He came to the hospital every day and was annoyed, what is it today?"

"Yumma! If anyone hears it, they know that I really visit every day!"

"Six times a week, almost every day."

"Ugh."

Even Adelhard flinched, not knowing what to say.

"You're still a bad boy."

"I don't want to hear that. But what's going on today? Isn't it supposed to be a mana tug-of-war again this time?

Since the day Jamie's condition has improved a lot a month ago, Adelhardt has been coming almost every day to ask for a mana tug of war.

'Mana tug-of-war' was simply a game in which each other's mana was connected like a string and pulled towards each other.

Jamie had no intention of doing that at first. I didn't understand why I had to deal with Adelhard in the first place.

As she continued to refuse to accept it, she went to and from the hospital room, and finally made an offer.

-If I lose, there's only one thing, I'll do whatever you ask! You just need to accept it.

I didn't know that a woman with strong self-esteem would come up with such an offer. Perhaps it was because of his strong self-esteem that he made such a proposal.

Anyway, it was not an offer to lose as Jamie, so I accepted it and, of course, won it without difficulty.

-Damn it! It's not enough to be overtaken by an 8-year-old kid, so you lose even at Mana Liang... Defeat!

When she first lost, Adelhardt was very disorganized, and she thought that she would never come again, as her strong self-esteem had been savagely shattered.

However, since that day, he has been coming to me and asking for a mana tug of war.

Each time, Jamie accepted the request and, of course, never lost.

Sometimes I wanted to lose, but I always did my best, knowing that doing that would further trample Adelhardt's pride.

"I'm going to lose again anyway, so I'm going to lose my strength for something."

"You lose again! Today is different... No, I'm not here today for that!

"I'm going to lose my ears."

Jamie covered her ears with her fingers to avoid Adelhardt's loud screams.

Adelhardt cleared his throat with a puzzled look on his face, wondering whether he was aware that he was screaming too.

"Hmmmm. nothing else."

"What's going on?"

"Come with me for a moment."

Adelhardt raised his face and said.

No matter how beautiful she was, she had a strong sense of decadence, so she looked pretty scary when viewed up close.

Fortunately, Jamie was also a necromancer, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

"Where?"

"Our base."

" base?

He seemed to know without even asking where the base was.

"Are you talking about the quality lab?"

right.

A few black hairs ran down Adelhardt's cheeks with a smile.

Equality.

It is the 3rd largest organization in the magic world, made up of wizards from commoners.

It was also a place that had nothing to do with Jamie, who came from a very aristocratic family.

But I expected it to come one day.

Jamie has made it to class 7, and when the Archmage appointment ceremony is over this time, he will be promoted to the rank of 3rd Vienne.

I have no intention of entering any of the three major factions, but since I am from where I came from, I will be treated as an aristocratic faction.

Before that, it was clear that they were going to work to bring them into their power.

'No.'

I saw Adelhard.

The smiling face was very unnatural.

She must have laughed very well, always making an impression and acting with a pessimistic attitude in everything.

what. Did you come every day to attract me to the quality?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That's right. Hey, I almost forgot about this. I thought I was coming because I was really hurting my self-esteem again, but you were all acting."

"Because it's not! I !"

"Jamie-kun."

At that moment, a middle-aged man's voice was heard from behind.

I turned around and saw Elder Luke Frizzle standing there.

He was scratching the back of his head with a slightly puzzled face.

"Don't get me wrong, Adele came to you because she really felt inferior to you."

"Luke! My, what do I feel inferior to!"

"I just asked her once because their relationship didn't look bad. Just make sure you know that I didn't approach you for that purpose in the first place.

"No, don't you feel inferior? It's nothing to me that such a little boy became 7th class... ."

Adelhardt's lips trembled as if he couldn't do anything at all.

Jamie, barely holding back her laughter, told Luke.

"Actually, I knew. It's just that you don't have that kind of personality.

"What else are you talking about?"

so. Did Elder 5 want to meet me?"

"Well, yes."

To Jamie's straight-forward question, Luke answered with a calm face.

"Before you reach heights you can no longer reach I want to make some kites."

Luke was also a pretty blatant yangban.

"Why are you ignoring everything I say!"

In the meantime, Adelhardt, who had been ignored, screamed loudly.

* * *

"Did you drink tea in the office of the 7 elders?"

Yeah.

"Then why don't you try a drink that is popular among commoners these days?"

Luke showed the glimmering black liquid inside the empty bottle.

Brown foam was bubbling over the black liquid, and a lot of water vapor was condensed on the surface of the glass bottle, which was supposed to be a cold drink.

"Koke is a drink, and it has a tangy taste of carbonic acid and a sweet, refreshing taste. They say the children can't use the four legs.

"That's delicious. Go away!"

Adelhardt was already drinking, so he took a cool one-shot and burped.

" Adele, what are you doing in disgrace?"

"Whether it's someone else's shame or not."

"Let's not talk. So would you like a drink?"

"A drink, please."

I was interested because it was a strange-looking drink.

As Luke poured the cup, brown bubbles rose at a frightening speed.

While traveling with Siegfried, I ate a lot of different foods, but this was the first time in my life.

As I carefully took a sip into my mouth, my eyes widened as if they were about to be plucked out.

"Huh!"

"Isn't that a joke?"

Adelhardt smiled playfully when asked, and Jamie wiped her lips with her hand and looked at them.

"What is your name?"

"Koke. It is the most popular drink these days."

" Isn't that a joke?

As soon as I took a sip, the tip of my tongue felt like electricity, and when it passed through my throat, my whole body shuddered.

The shock was so fresh that it felt like my brain was pounding.

There was a strong urge to eat it again because of how sweet and savory it was.

"Isn't there a drug in here?"

"Pu ha ha ha! What does this guy say?"

"Hush. Delicious food boasts an addiction that is hard to compare to drugs."

With those words, Jamie poured the coke down her esophagus.

"Kekek!"

Thanks to that, my throat was almost ripped by the carbonation.

"It is impossible to drink at once unless you are a skilled person. A little boy like you, is it impossible?"

Adelhardt waved a finger, ignoring Jamie.

You're trying to fill in your crushed pride in a mana tug of war with something like this.

Luke looked at Adelhard with a pathetic expression on his face.

Jamie looked at her with the same face without answering.

"You two, why do you both look at me like that!"

"Anyway, I called because I wanted to tell you about us before we depart for the royal castle. Hopefully we're not wasting time.

Hey! Are you ignoring me again?"

"They also gave me a delicious drink, so I can give you that much time."

More than anything else, Jamie wanted to bring them to his side.

Talking to the other side is already over.

'Like them, I'm the only one left here, I mean.'

Jamie smiled inwardly as she remembered the other elders.

"Are you ignoring me too?! Stop ignoring me!"

The two began to talk, ignoring Adelhardt's screams.
