As soon as I finished breakfast, I went out with a shovel.
'Wow, it's heavy.'
I can't hear it...
Thud.
Knock knock.
When I finally dragged myself to the backyard of the mansion... I felt complicated.
I can't do it.
No, do it.
“Huh!”
“Baby!”
As I was about to pick up the shovel, Revan followed me out and stopped me.
“You, you, what are you doing? It’s dangerous!”
“Oh, I want to dig the ground.”
“Why are you farming on such good land? What?"
“The magic stone is buried here.”
“...?”
I said, pointing to the backyard, or rather, the entire surrounding area.
“Wherever you dig, you’ll find it. It’s all a mine.”
"...Really?"
"Yes, really. I told you I'd tell you our family secrets~."
“...”
Revan's green eyes shook as if there was an earthquake.
You might be wondering what kind of fortune this is.
Magic stone.
It is a mineral imbued with magical powers.
Depending on the type, it can create fire, produce lightning, and produce powers very similar to supernatural abilities.
So, the magic stone can be said to be the only trace of magic that has disappeared into history...
'With the death of the last wizard, magic has vanished, so no matter how much remains, it's useless.'
Now it's just a pretty rock.
It is said that wizards with mana in their bodies could handle magic stones.
But!
“Let’s break it right now.”
Revan, who had snatched my shovel, glared like a mad engineer.
Yes, that's right.
The youngest academy professor, Revan's specialty was 'Magic Engineering'.
Magic engineering is the study of lost magic and the pursuit of its revival.
The 'Magic Stone', which contains traces of magic, was naturally the main research material of magic engineering professors.
I didn't know how they researched the magic stone or how successful they were. I didn't know.
'I saw the result before the regression.'
The new weapon that Revan used to blow up our house had a uniquely refined magic stone attached to it.
Finally, he succeeded in using a weapon and a magic stone together.
'How did they get the magic out of that stone?'
I'm curious, but I don't plan on digging too deep.
My role is to help Revan obtain the magic stone. It's good to know the research results, but it's okay if you don't.
“There’s plenty left over even after you use it for whatever you need. So when we go out...”
“Wow, wait a minute. So you can just sell it to that house?”
"Yes!"
Some people want to buy magic stones that are nothing more than pretty stones.
Even calling them is expensive. Crazy people who spend a fortune to buy up any magic stone they can find.
Who is it?
'This is our house.'
Our family purchased the magic stone and attempted to eradicate the lineage. They wanted to leave no trace behind, fearing the resurgence of magic that could threaten this ability.
Therefore, if you just dig the ground, you can kill two birds with one stone.
Revan is good, and you can make money too.
“If we want to see the vein, it’ll take a while... ugh! We’ll have to dig... Next time we go out to the city... Miners, ugh! Let’s go rescue a few!”
“Good idea! I don’t know if anyone will come to Belzer!”
"Now that we're rich, what are we worried about? Just offer them a risk-free bonus and hire them!"
Revan, excited by the prospect of receiving a fortune, is digging diligently...
“What are you doing?”
Ryan came out.
"Oh! The workers are here! Use your strength! Let's dig some dirt together!"
“Why the land all of a sudden?”
“The baby said there is a magic stone mine here!”
“What? Really?!”
Ryan was surprised and then delighted.
“...Can we sell it to our house?”
“That’s it! Quickly dig it up!”
“But I’m busy. I’m on my way out.”
“What? Where?”
Ryan said, twisting his arms and loosening his body.
"I'm going hunting. A father has a duty to feed his family. I'll give you meat for dinner tonight."
Aha?
“Don’t do that, let’s dig the ground together! There’s a lot of food left over from what we bought outside.”
“I want to go too! I want to hunt too!”
I raised my hand.
"What? What are you hunting? You look like you're being hunted. No way!"
“No! I can do it! I’ll help you!”
“Ssup. Are you kidding me?”
“Ugh! I want to go, pleaseeee!”
I practically threw a tantrum, almost lying down, like I was a 12-year-old kid.
Ryan's mouth fell open.
How is it? Is this your first time seeing something like this?
Ryan eventually took me out, even though I was insisting on following him.
A forest path leading to the mountain.
“Oh. Why bother following me!”
“You don’t have to hold me?”
There is no place that can be this affectionate...
He swept away the overgrown grass with the sword he had received as a gift from a private on the day he was released from prison, and whenever he saw a protruding tree root, he held my arm tightly as he moved.
“Why isn’t there even a single rat? You came out here bragging about giving me meat.”
Yeah. It's been a while since I came out, but it's so peaceful.
Occasionally, I could hear a small rustling sound, perhaps from a squirrel or a chipmunk, but could I catch those swift creatures?
It was absurd that he came out of nowhere with nothing but a knife, and he didn't even have any hunting gear.
Well, I know hunting isn't the goal.
'I guess you came out to try out Bless~.'
This ability requires training after it is manifested.
The power and range become increasingly stronger with repeated use.
Ryan's superpower, <Instant Death>...
He probably had it figured out a long time ago, but he probably couldn't train it even if he wanted to while he was in prison.
'Because there would have been no target.'
Isn't it impossible to kill a person?
This is why Ryan's ability, although powerful, is difficult to train.
So now Ryan would be hoping that some beast or demon would come out.
Of course, me too.
'I followed you here to get that great instant kill!'
At that time.
“...Hey, hey.”
Ryan suddenly stopped in front of me, blocking my path with his arm.
"Yes?"
I was walking, carefully checking the floor for fear of falling, when I raised my head.
'Oh my god...'
I found 'it' in the distance.
For a moment, I thought I was going to stop breathing.
Huge body.
Eyes that sparkle even from afar, as if they have been starving for a long time.
Four thick legs and sharp claws.
It was the appearance of the long-awaited prey.
‘I didn’t expect a bear...?’
Yes, a bear. A very big bear at that.
'Oh, let's calm down.'
I slowly raised my hand to cover my mouth so that my breathing wouldn't escape.
The bear spotted us, but thankfully, it didn't attack us right away. It just slowly approached, as if exploring.
Ryan muttered quietly.
“How do I catch that...?”
“What are you holding?”
I have to figure out how to escape safely.
“I told you I would bring the meat.”
Are you crazy? We look like meat.
Instant death.
It is a terrifying ability that cannot be compared to anything else, but before it is trained, and especially in the first stage of manifestation...
'You can't kill a bear instantly at this distance yet.'
Ryan is likely in the first stage of "Instant Death." At this point, "contact" with the bear is unavoidable. In other words, he must "touch" the bear anywhere on his body to be instantly killed.
The difficulty level was much higher than I expected, so I was scared.
‘I thought it was a rabbit or a weasel...’
And Ryan, who I thought had some kind of plan.
‘You don’t seem to have any thoughts...’
Seeing that he was just frozen solid, my trust level hit rock bottom.
I quickly thought about what I should do.
'I have three blessings now.'
Before returning, I had collected all of my brothers' abilities, but after returning, even the 'Mirror's Eye' went back 10 years, so I had to collect them all again from the beginning.
Even when I returned, everyone except for my younger sibling and I had left Windsor Castle... so I didn’t have a chance to meet people with abilities.
It means that it is amazing that you managed to collect three of them in two years of preparation!
'No, wait.'
Right now, I'm standing in front of a bear and thinking...
Krrrrrr!
The bear approached us two steps faster, as if it had decided to hunt us.
'Ah.'
I was startled for a moment,
The Eyes of the Mirror - The Shackles of Bondage
...I used it up.
The bear froze in place. It couldn't move.
'Oh, this can't be happening.'
I glanced at Ryan.
‘I tried to hold out without using it for as long as I could...’
I instinctively stopped because I was scared.
Did you notice I used this ability? I hope you just assumed the bear stopped on its own.
“Oh, Dad. Over there...”
Fortunately, Ryan didn't seem to think much of the bear, even though it had its paws tied up.
“You can’t catch it, right?”
“Yes. Of course...”
Let's run away.
“...the calculation is complete.”
“...?”
“Vania.”
Ryan looked back at me with sad eyes. It was the first time he'd been called affectionately by my name... I was taken aback.
“...You live too.”
"Yes?"
“Dad will stop you.”
He spoke bitterly, then turned his head back to the bear.
"I promised myself that if this situation ever came to pass, I would die in your place. I promised myself that I would protect you, no matter what."
What? I'm touched...
"I'll buy you some time, so you run away. When I count to three, turn around and run, screaming as loudly as you can. It's important to scream loudly."
“?”
"It's good to just wave your arms around. Never look behind you, and run with all your might, stomping your feet."
“??”
Sensing something strange, I immediately asked.
“Then isn’t the bear chasing me?”
“...”
Ryan was silent.
After a while, he burst into uncontrollable laughter and muttered.
“Ha, sir. You’re unnecessarily sharp...”
“...”
'Wow, it's heavy.'
I can't hear it...
Thud.
Knock knock.
When I finally dragged myself to the backyard of the mansion... I felt complicated.
I can't do it.
No, do it.
