CH 366

“Okay, this place is fine, we’re going down.”

“Okay, Makina, hold on tight.”

“Yeah!”

“I’m going down first.”

“Oh, hey!?”

The moonlight arcs through the night.

We landed on the shore of the Gariada Valley with Dibit-san. By the way, Fath-san was holding on to Dibit-san, but she jumped off himself and made Dibit-san panic.

Now, after Ornob-san and the others had decided to live in Gariada Village, I was going to be trained by Dibit-san.

However, as they said during the day, since we don’t want to expose Dibit-san outside as much as possible, we’re sneaking out to leave the village at night to train with him.

“Damn, you’re still as reckless as ever.”

“Hmph, I may be old, but I’m not going to be rattled by something like this.”

“That’s just like Master. Are we training here today?”

Dibit-san is seriously worried. I’ve heard that he was in love with her, but maybe he still is, I thought and Makina and I looked at each other and smiled. Fath-san is also over sixty, but she doesn’t look old at all.

“Oh, Makina’s with Fath, and I’ll be with Lars. It may be night and day for a while, but please bear with us, okay?”

“I’m asking you to do it for me, so of course. I’m ready whenever you are.”

“We’ll do it over there then. It’s been a long time since we’ve given it our all.”

“Yes! I haven’t been able to give it my all since all the things that’s been happening, after all.”

As they walked away, Dibit-san lit a cigarette and spoke to me.

“Fuh ……. So, I heard that Lars can use ancient magic, right? Can you give me a list of the magic you can use?”

“Yes.”

I’ve got fireball, arrows, aqua barrettes, hydro stream from water jail. I used the usual magic of Earthblade, Wind, and finally Invisible and Auto-Protection before crushing the rock with a slightly less powerful Dragonic Blaze.

“Something like this, I guess? I still have a lot of magic power left, though?”

I turned around and told Dibit-san, who clapped and came over to me.

“Impressive, Lars. I can’t believe you can use that much at your age. What are your skills? Oops, no need to speak formally, you didn’t use it on Fath, after all.”

“Thank you. My skill is called [Super Jack-of-all-Trades]. It just looks like “Jack-of-all-Trades” to other people, though.”

“……!”

When I showed him my guild card, Dibit-san narrowed his eyes a bit, then exhaled a cigarette and said.

“…… Can you tell me what kind of skill this is? Some say it’s a failure, but what do you think?”

“Haha, as I thought, that’s their general perception of it. I may be different from what I know of the “Jack-of-all-Trades” but the more effort I put in, the better I get. And I can also learn those magic, techniques, and skills that can be ‘seen’.”

“That’s amazing …… But it was difficult for you to do it alone, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, I met Verna-sensei when I was five and she taught me a lot. Now that I think about it, she was young, but she can use invisible magic too, you know?”

That reminds me of those old days. Then Dibit-san opened his mouth, extinguishing his cigarette with his foot.

“Well, just because you’re old doesn’t mean you can’t use it, and just because you’re young doesn’t mean you can’t use it. In the first place, the reason why ancient magic is so difficult to learn is that it consumes far more magic power than other magic. And there’s a lot of magic that needs creativity, so you need to have some sense. You can improve your magic power by training, but you can’t do that with sense. I mean, your [Super Jack-of-all-Trades] or something is amazing too, but I guess it’s also because Lars had some sense.”

“T-Thank you …….”

I don’t know why I’m so confused by the praise. It reminds me of Tigre-sensei, the way he praises me without twisting his words.

“Anyway, it’s still a work in progress from my point of view. There aren’t many people who can use ancient magic, so Lars must be mostly self-taught, right? I’m going to train you in that area. You’ll become a great wizard if you do.”

“By the way, you said earlier that you’d teach me all the magic you know, but I’m only here to learn transfer magic, so I don’t want that much. “

“Don’t be silly, Fath and Hind both have apprentices! I’ve never met anyone as good as Lars before, so I didn’t care, but if there’s someone who can learn it, that’s a different story!”

“Ehhhhhh …….”

“Well, I’ll start by teaching you Transfer magic. Then, watch carefully–.”

While I was dejected, he happily lit another cigarette and started practicing the transfer magic. Hmm, how can you train so leisurely when there are assassins and such ……?

“Hmph, I never thought I’d see someone with [Jack-of-all-Trades] in this country. And at this time. I guess It’s fate ……”

“What? Did you just say something about [Jack-of-all-Trades]?”

“It’s nothing. Here, like this–“

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

“Peppe …… the sand dust is terrible. Is Lars really here in the country?”

“Yeah. That’s what I heard when I visited him at his home in Reflexion.”

“…… Didn’t Retzel once try to kill the king?”

“I’m also very good at disguises. Now, let’s go to Sandiola’s castle, shall we?”

“You don’t know where he went? I’m not Reiss, but I wonder what brings you to this place ……”

When Lars and the others began their training, Retzel, Irumi, and Reiss had set foot on Sandiola’s land.

I went to Reflexion’s house to tell him about the member of the Gospel’s Descent in the town of Gust, but he was not home. I gathered information and followed them to Sandiola, but I didn’t know the purpose of Lars and the others, so I didn’t know where they were.

“I don’t care what happens to the town of Gust, so I’ll just take it easy. I don’t expect him to be able to handle the Gust territory anyway …… If anything, it’s what happens after the failure that’s more difficult.”

“Oh, and they’re on the move, too. They’re in this country too, right?”

“That’s what I’ve heard. They are the ten people that the Founder trusts the most. Do you know anything about them, Retzel?”

“…… No? Well, let’s go then. And while we’re at it, why don’t we take a look at the new king of Sandiola? They will be overrun by the Gospel’s Descent, after all.”

Retzel said, and started the carriage.

The uproar that was about to engulf the entire country of Sandiola was about to begin quietly.

Now, will the bell ring for battle?

Thank you for reading!
