: Appointment (1)
When things calmed down a bit, Earl Wellton asked Jamie what he had been curious about.
"But who is the child who came with you?"
Iknow, right. Mom was curious too. That girl looks cute, did you ever make this there?"
Sears held Sarah in her arms and shook her little finger.
It seemed that the two of them were talking about Anne.
They were misunderstood because they had not yet told them about Anne and Lennon.
Well ."
Really? Jamie, have you made a girlfriend?"
"Children's play, what is it?"
"How fast kids are progressing these days! The son of Viscount Alter, Youngji next door, is 11 years old this year and already... ."
"No, no, no. No. It's not like that, so don't get me wrong."
As Sears tried to slow the pace at an unbelievable pace, Jamie urgently stopped her.
Earl Wellton and Sears looked at their son with their eyes wide open.
Jamie sighed and told the truth.
that He is my disciple."
Aha. Kids these days seem to play a lot with their teachers. I used to do it a lot when I was younger."
Iknow, right. I used to do that a lot when I was younger."
This time, the couple dismissed it as a game.
As it should have been, Jamie once again took a short sigh to correct the misunderstanding.
"It's not a game, it's a real disciple. You are learning magic from me."
" ."
" ."
The Earl and Sears stared at their son, then looked at each other, and suddenly started laughing hahahaha.
"Haha, these days games seem more realistic."
"Ho ho ho. Iknow, right. In fact, it has to be real to make it taste good."
"Nori?"
Meanwhile, Sarah, who did not understand what was going on, looked at my mother and asked.
Jamie had a headache. After that, it was obvious that whatever he said would be treated as a game.
It is said that one hundred words are undisputed.
I thought it would be quicker to show it in person.
Wait.
"Jamie?"
Jamie teleported out of the room.
As the couple looked at each other with puzzled expressions, Jamie appeared holding Anne's wrist.
"S, Master?"
It was dinner time, so it was Anne who was waiting patiently after changing into the dress prepared here.
Although he was aristocrat, he was very nervous because it was his first time wearing such a burdensome dress.
Then suddenly Jamie appeared and took him somewhere.
It was none other than a large bed for the Welton family.
Suddenly coming to this place, Anne felt her brain paralyzed.
"Anne. Tell them about our relationship."
In the meantime, the master makes strange demands on himself.
on on? eh?"
What are you doing? Tell me about your relationship with me."
"Oh my. I didn't know Jamie was such an active kid."
" haha. Who is this really like?"
The Earl and Sears covered their mouths in shock at Jamie's aggressive (?) remarks.
Jamie felt the misunderstanding escalated and rushed Anne.
"Are you going to tell me that you are my disciple soon?"
"Eh. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Anne with her eyes spinning like a broken doll.
Jamie grabbed her by the shoulder and shook it, and the couple were once again astonished at Jamie's behavior.
Sara chuckled and laughed to herself, wondering if the sights were funny.
To put it simply, it took quite a while for this misunderstanding to be resolved.
* * *
" He was a real disciple."
"You're two years older than Jamie?"
"They also took in the second son of the Simon family as a disciple."
The Weltons, who eventually accepted the reality, were still looking at Anne in disbelief.
There is no way that a teacher will be older than a disciple, and there is no way that a disciple will be younger than the teacher.
But Jamie was 8 years old, and common sense is that 8 years old is hard to teach.
Jamie is not a common-sense child, so I didn't think that teaching was difficult at all. Even in terms of magic, it was superior to most magic teachers.
The problem was that Jamie and Anne's relationship wasn't just that of an academy teacher and student.
Anne was Jamie's direct disciple. It means that he became a person who was obliged to inherit Jamie's magic and spread it to future generations.
The weight of it could not be dismissed as just children's play.
But this, too, was possible with Jamie.
Their son was none other than the youngest archmage to break through the 7th class wall.
'This is really hard to explain in words.'
Although Sears didn't know, Earl Wellton knew better than anyone what a priestly relationship was.
He was also a father and studied swords from the former head of the Welton family. At that time, it was a priestly relationship, not a father-son relationship, so the severity was indescribable.
Anyway, the priestly relationship is difficult for both sides.
This is because the teacher is in a position to take over half of the life of the disciple, and the disciple learns the life of such a teacher.
But can these two still young people get through it?
Worry prevailed, but the Count didn't say anything.
Some believed in his son, but as long as the priesthood had already been established, it was ridiculous for a third party to intervene.
"Jamie teaches hard, and Anne tries hard."
That was the end of all he could say.
Sears also had a shaky face, but there was nothing else to say when her husband stepped forward like that.
"Fighting both."
So, I raised my left arm and supported the two of them.
Then Jamie answered with a smile.
Yeah!
Yes Yes!
And also followed his master and answered with a nervous expression on his face.
The Count smiled and got up from his seat.
"Then let's get ready soon. The time is almost up."
"Anne, go back and rest. Jamie, take me with you."
Yeah. Go.
Jamie took Anne's hand and teleported.
Sears said to the Earl as he saw Jamie disappear.
" I can't get used to Jamie's flashing disappearance.
"Isn't that a wizard?"
Sears said, Oh. and nodded.
* * *
It had been a busy meal in a long time.
It wasn't a smooth time.
It was because the Weltons did not like Linmer and Siegfried.
That said, didn't his son go to the magical realm because of them and face great danger.
Naturally, the two archmage had nothing to say.
Fortunately, there was no commotion at the dinner, but Earl Wellton told the two of them to talk separately, and as soon as the meeting was over, they took the two of them and disappeared.
Anne went back to her room to sleep, and Sears went to my room to put Sarah to sleep.
Left alone, Jamie sneaked out to explore the capital's night streets.
"It's definitely big."
Fibre, the capital, was large when viewed from a distance, but when viewed up close, its size was clearly felt.
Although he was born in one of the greatest territories in the kingdom, Heis felt like a village compared to the capital of the kingdom.
This place was similar to the magic realm.
Although the advanced culture of the magic world was more developed, it was natural because it was the center of magic science.
Fibre also saw quite a few things that were seen in the magical world.
The route of the iron horse art train passing through the sky was also visible, and a large screen of magic vision was installed above the tall building.
"It was not for nothing that the wizards wanted the capital after the magic world."
After graduating from the academy and obtaining formal wizard licenses, wizards either go to laboratories or find jobs in magic-related jobs.
Naturally, companies in the magic world hired the most wizards, followed by the capital Fibre.
"The roadside is wide, and the road at night is not dark."
The long streetlights along the road were shining so that carriages could pass even at night.
Looking at this, I thought that modern civilization is quite extreme.
Does it feel like some of the original paths have been omitted due to the rapid development of magic?
Art rails pass through the sky, and the well-maintained road still carries horses and wagons.
I wondered if the shape of the carriage would change soon.
"Nice fountain."
Even at night, standing in front of the fountain that spewed up hard, Jamie looked back at the full moon over the fountain.
It was very nice to see the beautiful view of the spraying water shining in harmony with the moonlight.
It was about time Jamie had just taken a seat on a nearby bench.
"Isn't it pretty?"
"Wow!"
Jamie started the game at a sudden voice.
Looking to the side, there was a smiling silver-haired girl reflected in the moonlight and swaying beautifully.
Just by looking at the girl with the yellow cloth on her head like a belt, her surprised heart seemed to calmly subside.
'What is this little boy?'
Jamie walked all the way to here, observing the signs around her.
However, the girl's energy was not noticed at all.
It wasn't because the girl was such a great human being.
' It's a weak vitality that seems to be extinguished at any moment.'
It is so weak that it will crumble if you hold it in your hand.
So no signs were detected.
The girl looked up at the full moon again and said.
"I like to go out sometimes and look at the night sky."
At the sudden girl's words, Jamie didn't know how to react.
Whether Jamie answered or not, the girl continued.
"But I don't see it very often. The moon and stars are always floating in the sky, but you can only see them for a short time when they appear once in a while."
Why? You can just come out and see."
Yeah. It's that easy, but it's not easy for me. I've been sick since I was little. I am still young."
The girl sticks out her tongue and smiles.
It's hard to treat someone of your age like this, but he's a good friend.
"How did you get out today?"
Well. stealthily?
"Ha?"
Hehe. it is a secret.
At first glance, he looks very sickly, but he secretly runs away just wanting to see the sky.
Jamie smiled as she looked at the weak but tomboyish girl.
'But does the secret mean anything?'
We didn't even know each other in less than 5 minutes.
Jamie decided not to complicate things. Having lived through difficulties for eight years, I roughly grasped the habits of the children.
Huh. Secret.
"I saw it for the first time, how does the secret come about?"
" ."
Turns out, I should have thought about the habit that medicine was a kid.
It's a joke.
Bashsi smiling girl.
Jamie shook her head and turned her head back to the fountain.
The girl giggled and looked at the fountain.
The two who met for the first time today did not feel any awkwardness at all, and quietly looked at the fountain and the night sky.
About ten minutes later, the girl got up from her seat.
"It's time to stop going back."
like that.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?"
Well. Good bye.
Jamie gently waved her hand, and the girl pouted her lips.
"Next time I see you, I'll treat you cold. P!
The girl said that out of nowhere and started running backwards.
It was so slow that Jamie watched with her arms on the backrest.
too slow.
"Everyone, it's because I don't do a lot of running!"
Perhaps it was a girl with a bit of self-esteem, and the reaction immediately returned.
Jamie smiled and turned around again.
The sound of the girl running was getting farther away.
* * *
"Heh heh."
The girl was so exhausted that she was panting with her hands on the tree.
It had been a while since I had run like this, and my hair, like the moonlight, was wet with sweat and stuck to my cheeks.
Someone approached that girl.
"Did you have any reason to run?"
It was a polite old man's voice.
The girl took a deep breath and looked at the old man who was approaching.
said the girl with a smile.
just. After talking to him, I wanted to run for some reason."
"I don't remember having any conversations like that."
"You overheard again."
As the girl poked her lips cutely, the old man laughed as if he was looking at his granddaughter.
"That's your grandfather's job, princess, understand."
A girl called a princess, Isabel P Friedmoor, puffed up her cheeks.
She was a member of the royal family of the Seldam Kingdom, the Friedmoor family, and the eldest daughter of the current king.
The old man who introduced himself as a grandfather became a face that couldn't stop the princess from acting like that.
I hate you.
"If the princess hates you, is this grandpa very sad?"
lie!
Isabel sticks out her tongue and starts running again.
Then he grabbed his heart, and the old man quickly grabbed him as he was about to fall.
The old man placed his hand on her chest and infused mana. Mana quickly rotated the princess' entire body, and her heart, which had been slowing down, was beating at a normal rate.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh."
It was then that Isabel was able to let out a choked breath.
"Don't run forward."
" Yeah.
As Isabel answered with a gloomy look on her face, the old man sighed and picked her up.
Isabelle said as she wrapped her arms around the old man's neck.
"It's Jamie Welton."
"How about seeing it for yourself?"
She remembered the emerald-haired boy who was sitting next to him and exchanging trivial things.
The greatest genius of all time, who rose to the status of an archmage at the age of 8.
Isabel knew she was going to meet him at the fountain tonight.
And I got a glimpse of it to some extent.
Jamie Welton's gloomy future, which cannot be predicted one inch ahead.
"He will be on a long journey of asceticism."
" ."
"Whether there will be a light at the end or a pit of abyss, no one knows. I haven't seen it there.
Isabelle held her breath and continued.
"He was a poor kid."
"Why?"
"I know it better than anyone."
Isabel had sad eyes.
Jamie Welton's future she saw was terrible, and Jamie Wellton herself had foreseen that miserable future.
How does it feel to know that you will find yourself in that dreadful bondage?
Even Isabel, who was facing a desperately hopeless situation, could not understand Jamie's feelings.
"I want to go back and rest, swordsman."
"That's right."
Swordsman Tarix Pan, feeling sorry for the princess who always tried to empathize with her opponent, speeded up.
