CH 5

My father "Rainer Bardia" is returning today.

I told Garn that I had something I wanted to discuss with him, and he said he would tell my father about it.

By the way, there are two things I want to discuss with you.

The first is that I want to start studying magic, martial arts, and many other subjects.

I, Rid, didn't have any experience value increase due to the main character's advantage in the game.

Even if I knew I could become strong, it would take time to develop.

If this is still the case in this world, there is nothing better than training to become stronger quickly.

Second, I would like to have some money at my disposal.

I want to have money to prepare for the future, which is one of my goals, but at the moment I don't even have the money at hand.

In this regard, I have no choice but to ask for help from my father.

There is a way to sell some of the luxury items , but it could become a problem later on, so I'd like to use it as a last resort.

Now, I have been reading books in library, and I have learned something interesting.

I found out that many of the plants and minerals in this world are basically the same as those in the world of my previous life, including their names.

Of course, there are things that are quite different

This might give me a chance to find a way to make money," I'll bring in a merchant to make something that can be made in this world and sustainably supply .......

As I was reading the book and collecting my thoughts for the future, I heard a lovely voice behind.

“...... Brother , you're so boring.»

“Oh, sorry. It's time for me to read you a picture book."

“I's that okay?　Yay!"

The other day, I read a picture book to Mel and she was very happy.

When I am in the library, Mel spends time with me.

When I read her a picture book, she immediately understands the content, so I can see that she is very smart.

My sister must be a genius.

Danae, the maid who accompanies Mel to the library, is looking at me with a "Oh my God," look on her face.

"Master Reiner is calling for you . "

Before I knew it, Garn was standing in front of the library door, clearing his throat.

" got it. I'll be right there.". . I'll go back to the ,master office first.

Garn said only what was required , bowed, and left the library ahead of me.

"Are , you leaving ......."

"I'm sorry. I'll read you later the picture book."

"Ugh. ......"

Just as I was expecting to be read a picture book, I was called by my father and Meldy was about to cry .

"I'll read the book for you, young lady," Danae immediately said to get her into a good mood.

Mel, who had been put in a better mood by maid words, said to me, "Read the book later, okay? promised it " I replied. " I promise," and headed for the office where my father summoned me.

When I arrived at office, I knocked on the door with a nervous look on my face.

A low, heavy voice came from the other side of the door, "Come in.:

I entered the office and found Garn standing there.

He said he was going back first to help my father with his work.

He was sitting on his desk chair in his office working on paperwork, but stopped when I entered office.

He looked at me sharply and said in a low voice

"I heard that you collapsed in the ...... garden."

'Yes. Everything is fine now."

'I see."

Father "Rainer Bardia" has the same silver hair and purple eyes as me,

He is always expressionless and has a strong face so that I cannot read his emotions.

His eyes are especially strong, and he looks as if a normal child would cry and run away.

"I heard from Garn that you has something to discus with me ."

I would like to start by thanking you for your time . And there are two things I would like to discuss with you. First, I would like a tutor to teach me magic, martial arts, and various other subjects .

"....... I had been thinking about this matter for some time, but had put it off because I thought it would be difficult considering your mental state and your attitude in the mansion. I never thought I would hear such idea from you. Are you sure you're okay with it?"

I was a little surprised by his words.

I didn't think he was observing my mental state, etc. and moving the timing of tutoring, ., even though he was not in the mansion and not talking to me or Mel.

Wouldn't it be better if he was more open to us?　

I wondered at the same time.

Father stared at me without changing his expression.

I took a deep breath and answered confidently, puffing out my chest.

“Yes, I am sorry for worrying you. I myself was to seeing mother's weakening day by day that for a time my heart was in a state of despair. However, I realized that this alone would not solve anything. I know that I can be of help to you by improving myself. Please take care of the of the tutor matter ."

"I understood. If that your wish , it should be fine. I will make arrangements immediately. Now, what is the second thing?"

Hearing my words, Rainer showed a expression of relief for a moment, but then he immediately returned to his blank expression and asked the next question.

" The second thing I would like to ask is for you to prepare funds for me personally to spend as I please.

"..... for what?'

The weight of his voice grows stronger, and the air in the Oval Office changes with a single word from him .

There is a heavy atmosphere in the room.

'While going through the various materials in the library , I found a few that might make useful products. I intend to try to make them."

“The fund provider would normally have materials to submit to us. Are you asking to just provide funding without that?:

”Yes, as you say. This time, I would like you to invest myself. I am shamelessly asking you of it because I know that you would believe in your son's talent."

:This is a gamble. If you are right and you sure of getting the money, I should prepare the documents.:

However, even if we prepare the documents, it would most likely take a long time.

Considering my mother health , I probably don't have much time.

Therefore, I decided to take a risk.

Sometimes enthusiasm can move people, especially if it is between a parent and a child.

I assume that we have connection, but I am sure that my father would agree to that because he said something about me as if he had been watching.

Upon hearing my words, Father wrinkled his brow and rubbed the wrinkle with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand.

I watched his face as if I devouring it.

When he noticed my gaze, he let out a small sigh.

"I understand ....... I'll give you some money to you. Since you said 'useful commodity,' you must be thinking of doing some business, right?　Funds for business are too much for a child, but if you're going to be so generous, you might as well put them to good use."

" I won't let you down "

Father seems to be in a slightly better mood than he was immediately after I entering the Oval Office.

Can i give him one more push?

"I'm sure I'll live up to your expectations."

"What is it?　If you're talking about funds, I can't give any more ."

“No, it's not that. I am a little disappointed that Mel and I have not been able to talk much with father. If you don't mind, I was wondering if we could have breakfast or dinner together?"

At the word "Mel," Rainer's face twitched.

I'll think about it....... By the way, are you calling Meldy 'Mel'?"

“　Yes, I do. Mel told me to call her that because that's what mother calls her , and she asked me to call her like that as well.”

"Well, ......, is that all?　If yes , you can leave now."

The father closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something for a moment.

I watched him as I left the office,

As I closed the door, I noticed that Father and Garn were talking about something, but I left the room and went to the library .

Good, that went better than I thought . Now that I have the money for the army, I guess i just need to find a merchant.

Negotiations with my father had gone better than I had imagined, and I had forgotten something .

I promised Mel that I would read her a picture book: ......

A few moments later, the door to the study was opened .

I looked up to see Mel standing there, half-crying, with a terrible look on her face.

At that moment, I remembered that I had forgotten my promise.

"Mel, , I am Sorry ......."

"You're a liar! "

I tried to apologize, but as if to shuting my words, Mel came crying and hugging me.

She was crying so hard as she hit me with punch that didn't hurt.

I held her in my arms and clammed her, murmuring, "I'm sorry, Mel.:

Needless to say, I was made to read a picture book to Mel until she stopped crying. ..
