Chapter 4
"Today's dinner is a feast! What's the occasion?"
During meal .
Castor was in wonder before the sumptuous amount of meat on the dining table .
Only two birds are used in the dinner, but that's still quite an amount for our household of five .
Looking back, after reincarnating, I think the only time we had this amount of meat was during Reich's 15 year old birthday (this country deems adulthood at 15 . )
"I think it's Mathi's birthday today . . . . But I don't think these are made to celebrate it right?"
Reich said that .
I was reincarnated when I just turned 6, so technically speaking, the first day is my birthday .
However, like I mentioned earlier, the only time we had a luxurious meal in a birthday was only during Reich's .
I don't think we've had any celebration at other birthdays .
"That's right! This guy doesn't need no birthday celebration! Rather, it should be a sad day to curse his fate!"
Biffgel made fun of me by making use of Reich's statement .
"Biffgel . Be quiet . "
And then he was made to shut up .
The one who did that was our father, Castor Hildesheimr . I don't know his concrete age, but he looks around 45 .
Even Biffgel can't go against the head of the family, he shuts his mouth .
His face is red from anger . . . . And I think his voltage is higher than in the noon, maybe he's dissatisfied . I wonder if this self-proclaimed chosen one of the magic god (14 year old) is that frustrated from losing to a trash (6 year old) who can't use magic well .
"Mathi brought this meat . If anyone has any complaint, they don't have to eat it . "
Our mother, Camilla revealed the answer at the right timing .
Father who heard that asks me .
"Mathi brought this? What on earth happened?"
Well now . How should I reply to this . 、
Many things could become troublesome if I answer honestly .
Even excluding this territory with its underdeveloped magic, my magic is superior for a 6 year old .
The worst possible outcome would be if I were bound in this territory .
I intend to leave Hildesheimr house sooner or later, to walk the path of a magic combatant .
Even if my name is different int his life, the things I want to do hasn't changed .
If I get known as a convenient magic user, it could be hard to realize that .
"The birds hit some trees by chance and fell down . "
After thinking more, I decided to hide my magic .
It's a bit unnatural for that to happen with five birds, but I gotta follow up somehow-- .
"Did they fall with their necks cleanly cut, and even drained of blood already?"
It was no use . Mother swiftly attacked .
However, I'll cut through by feigning ignorance here!
"I found some sharp stones and drained the blood myself . "
"To five birds?"
"Un . To five birds . "
" . . . . Certainly, I didn't see any wound that looks to be a result of battle . It's unusual, but it might be not unlikely to happen . "
Alright . Dodged the bullet there .
Next time, I should bring back fewer spoils after thinking through an excuse .
I'm not going to stop supplying the meat . Nourishment is important .
"Abnormal behaviors of birds huh . I hope it's not an omen of something strange happening . . . . Come to think of it, Mathi you're 6 now aren't you . "
"Yup . Mathi is 6 today . "
Reich replied Castor .
"Then, I'll start teaching Mathi swordsmanship from tomorrow on . Mathi is going to leave the territory and all, so swords gonna be essential for you . "
That reminds me, Reich and Biffgel have been training swordsmanship with Father .
That training started at 6 huh . That's quite hardcore .
--However, there was more important part on my father's statement .
The part about me leaving the territory .
