Chapter 46

Its a good thing I obtained a good weapon.

Although it's a magic dagger, since I still have no idea what the key to activating it is, it probably wont add too much to my battle power.

In the meantime, Ill mainly use grappling and the Beginners Dagger.

I'd be in a bind if I were to do something excessive and break it again.

Well, if push comes to shove, I can always use Realize to make Twirling.

Aisha and Sylphy have already seen it, after all.

Im back

Although I know that no ones home, since it has already become a habit of mine, I said it properly.

That's because I think that this is important.

Good morning Good afternoon Farewell Im back Good night

These have been firmly drilled into me by Otou-san and Okaa-san.

The first step to building a relationship with someone is greeting them, after all.

Ive received help from various types of people, including with the magic dagger this time around.

Thats why greeting people is important!

After I drank some well water and took a little break, I headed towards the dismantling shed, where my actions wouldn't be discovered.

My reason for going in there is to implement and research the magic I obtained from the Orc King, Unique MagicSpace-time.

Up until now, Ive never heard of space-time magic, though that may just be me.

Magic is fundamentally made up of six attributes: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light and Darkness.

Adding the two rarer attributes, Lightning and Ice, to the six would make them The Eight Attributes.

However, right now, there's a magic not included in The Eight Attributes in front of me.

Theres no doubt that it can be used to teleport just like how the Orc King used it.

However, I have a feeling there are other ways to use it, as well.

Thats why Ive decided to test it out.

I think Ill first try to teleport in the same way the Orc King did.

While imagining the deepest part of the dismantling shed, I tried using Unique MagicSpace-time.

As I did that, a black vortex suddenly appeared in front of me.

This Do I enter this thing?

As expected, since I dont know what will happen to me if I enter, Im a little scared.

Un, lets try throwing in the broken steel daggers hilt as a test first.

Poi(TLN: SFX)

As I did that, in the back of the room that I imagined myself teleporting to, the daggers hilt I threw appeared and made a Karan sound as it dropped to the ground.

Amazing This, this is really amazing

Does this mean that I can teleport to a place in my range of sight if I enter this black vortex?

However, the Orc King suddenly appeared from outside the range of my Presence DetectionModerate.

Whats with that? What are the rules for the movement range?

As I was racking my brains about the conditions, the black vortex faded away and disappeared.

I see, there is most likely a time limit, and if that limit is exceeded, itll disappear.

Oops, I need to think about the movement rules.

I cant think of any ideas, so I'll have to test it out via trial and error.

Lets just do that for now.

This time I imagined the pathway beyond the door and used Unique MagicSpace-time.

Just like before, a black vortex appeared in front of me.

This time, instead of having the hilt that I had previously thrown enter the vortex, I slowly put my hand in it.

I then pulled my whole arm out after it had entered the vortex, and checked for abnormalities.

Un, there doesnt seem to be any particular problems.

Now then I plunged my whole body into the black vortex in one go.

As I did that, I was able to move to the pathway I imagined in my head without opening the door.

This, does this mean that I can travel to any place if I can imagine it?

I have to experiment with it more, huh.

Next, lets try to move to the kitchen in my house from this dismantling shed.

Similar to before, I imagined the kitchen in my house, and as I used Unique MagicSpace-time, a third black vortex appeared in front of me.

As I came out from the black vortex I was in the kitchen.

As I suspected, this magic enables me to travel to any place I can imagine.

The Orc King probably moved to the place we were at from outside the range of my Presence Detection.

After that, I was able to understand a few things as a result of repeating this a few times in order to verify things.

It is possible to travel to any place I can imagine, and the travel distance is probably limitless (I was able to move to the open space with Slimes).

The black vortex will disappear after approximately one minute, but it is possible to manually erase it as well.

Its an effective way to travel, and I can definitely use it to take the initiative when fighting.

In the worst case scenario where I come across another Calamity-Class monster like the Orc King, I'll probably be able to fight with a considerable advantage.

To give an example, I could make Twirling using Realize, and then use as many strengthening Skills as I can.

After that, Ill teleport right behind my opponent and use Martial Arts: Shark Glow. By doing this, I might be able to defeat the enemy in one hit if they're careless.

Well, life isnt that sweet though.

Anyway, I've managed to obtain a general understanding of this method of using the magic.

Next, lets try to think of other ways to use it.

Though I say that, this is still an unknown magic, so I don't have even the slightest idea as to what it's capable of.

Thats why I think I should appraise it again.

Uun, I think the space part is the Spatial Transfer I just verified, but, I wonder what the time part is about.

Is it something like stopping the time of a targeted object?

No, if that was the case, there's no way that the Orc King wouldn't have been able to use it.

Space and time I wonder.

Uun, I cant think of anything even if I ponder on it.

It cant be helped that Im worrying over it at a time like this.

I should switch my mood by doing something else.

Thinking that, I moved to the kitchen and drank some well water.

Then, I lay down and thought dazedly to myself, Isnt there something I can do?

Ah, that reminds me, theres still the medicinal plants that I previously took

I recalled the time when I left some of the medicinal plants behind and took only what I needed with me when I went to get slime oil.

Yosh, lets compound some potions.

Thinking that, I took out all the medicinal plants from the storage bag Otou-san left me with.

Ah, quite a few of them wilted since two days have passed, huh

Hm?

Eh? Eeeh?

I seem to have thought of something. Space space and time?

Wait, by any chance, isnt this storage bag exactly the space part!?

If I were to add time to this.

I might have thought of something amazing.

Thinking that, I brought a leather bag containing wheat flour from the kitchen.

Yosh, time to experiment!

I activated Unique MagicSpace-time on the bag.

I concentrated all my attention on the mental images of making a large space inside the bag and of making time stop.

Since feedback was returned when the magic was activated, I tried putting a large barrel filled with tsukemono (Japanese pickled vegetables) into the bag.

As I did that.

It went in.

I managed to make a storage bag.

This time I took out the barrel, and retrieved a teacup that was filled with hot water.

I then stored it, and heart-throbbingly waited for an hour.

As I took out the teacup from the bag It was hot.

Somehow, Ive made an outrageous thing.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Please treat me well.

Today, while I was thinking theres quite an unusual number of reads today.

This work was ranked in the 47th place for the daily ranking!?

Eh? Seriously? I doubted my own eyes for a moment, but it seemed to be true.

I was really, really happy.

This is all thanks to everyone who read, left evaluations and bookmarked.

I will work harder so that everyone will enjoy it, even if a little.

Please take care of me from now on.

Aishas POV.

After I was sent off with Take care, I once again felt the feeling being married with Myne-kun.

If you think about it, he never had the chance to use Im off and Im back since his family left him. (TLN: Used when leaving and returning home)

Since Myne-kun needed a family, Hime-sama requested that from me, but actually, I might have needed one too.

The breakfast we made together, and the strange nervousness at night.

Those things, little by little, gathered a happiness Ive never felt before.

I cannot deny that I felt like this was all forcibly pushed onto me by Hime-sama, but as far as results are concerned, I think that this decision was a good one.

While I was immersed in such a modest feeling of happiness, I arrived at my workplace, the guild.

If we consider the fact that there was chaos yesterday, there would most probably be a panic if I enter from the front door.

Thinking that, I passed through the backdoor which is reserved for personnel use, and entered the building.

As I did that, I met the girls who were the Stagehands for today. (TLN: Ch13 if you forgot)

Aisha-senpaaai, are you really quitting today?

Aisha-san, thank you very much for everything up until now

Since it was sudden, Ive caused trouble for everyone, huh Im sorry.

Un, everyone, Im really sorry, but if Ive already made up my mind, Ill have to act on it if I want to progress, right?

I bowed once and explained to everyone.

Originally, it was a workplace where all the good kids gather. I accurately repeated my explanation and in the saw me off with yells.

I then headed to the office to hand in my official Resignation Letter to the guild leader.

Good morning, this is Aisha. Is the guild leader in?

As I called out and knocked, I heard a Come in from inside the office.

It felt like he was in low spirits.

As I said Excuse me, and entered, the guild leader sat on his chair, his face sullen and his arms folded.

Why are you making such a face?

As I unintentionally asked such a question, he frowned more and replied Whose fault is it? Whose is it? with an extremely displeased voice.

Is it my fault? Well, thats true, but its also guild leaders fault, you know?

If Myne-kun wasnt erased from the guild, there might have been a different development.

While thinking such things, I placed the Resignation Letter on the guild leaders desk with a smile which hid my thoughts.

While glancing at it, the guild leader scowled even more.

While complaining If you scowl that much, the wrinkles wont go away, you know in my heart, I said Thank you for taking care of me.

As I did that, he probably gave up as expected, and he indeed received the resignation letter before putting it inside a drawer.

So, when is the Clan going to start?

Let me see, for now, since well have to wait for Hime-sama to return, itll probably take 10 days

After we vaguely chatted for a while, I left the office and I walked to the reception for my last receptionist duties.

Right, firstly, I wonder what are the requests for today. Ill have to check on that

Requests are affixed on the general requests board, a display board installed in the lobby, and after adventurers check that display board, they will accept the request at the reception desks.

Actually there is also another display board for the receptionists at the back of the counter, in the adventurers blind spots.

This display board has every single request on it including those which still cannot be shown to the adventurers such as requests reserved by exclusive receptionists, designated requests and requests which had their open dates decided.

The display board I was going to see was naturally this one.

As I looked down at the requests, I was able to see the happenings of the world to a certain extent.

The slime oil running dry which I suggested to Myne-kun previously, or monster spawned in a large quantity in the vicinity of Town , From things like this, I was able to predict what can be done beforehand.

For Clans, by its very nature, such a thing is absolutely impossible.

Because the guild exists in every single town in that area, it was able to extensively gather requests.

Because only requests which leans to a small fraction arrive for the Clans, its impossible to confirm the state of affairs from requests.

Such being the case, I roughly looked over the display board for personnel use, and as I did that, I was bothered by one request.

Target rank: B-rank and above. The guild has received information that at the Duchy of Ose, which is situated far in the north, demon race such as goblins and orcs have closed in on the duchy in a large flock. (TLN:. Any ideas?)

It says that they want to verify the truth of that information.

If the information proves to be true, then damage to the Duchy of Ose and the present condition of the demon race are to be verified.

If possible, the guild wants the adventurer to provide aid to the injured. The request is extremely difficult.

The important Duchy of Ose, nicknamed the Land of Death, is a wasteland which isnt owned by any countries and borders on the Country of Demons

This requests purpose is probably to verify whether the Country of Demons participated in this demon race invasion, which is said to have occured in the Duchy of Ose, or not.

The Country of Demons is famous as an bellicist country which has monsters such as goblins and orcs as vanguards.

It had been quiet since it changed rulers approximately ten years ago.

However, it had previously started wars with many countries using relatively lower class monsters like goblins and kobolds.

For that reason, the Country of Demons was recognised by many countries as a common enemy which has to be defeated.

If the Country of Demons has commenced invasion towards another country, there is a possibility that the country which was quiet after changing its ruler will once again being attacking many countries.

This might also affect us, huh

After I finished receiving the last adventurer, it was time for me to get off work.

As I had feared, there was some chaos, but since it was continued from yesterday, as expected, it had already settled down by the time I got off work.

Phew, its finished, huh

I tidied up the top of the reception desk, thanked my colleagues who remained for everything up until now and headed for the changing room.

On the way there, my colleagues and kouhais Mil and Mary ran towards me while carrying a bouquet.

Senpai, thank you for your hard work!

I reflexively broke into a smile at the two who spoke cheerfully while probably tired from work, and passed the bouquet to me. (TLN: Help with the first part)

Thank you, and sorry because it might get busy after this

As I said that, they both said Dont worry! Leave it to us and saw me off with a good feeling.

Although I was thinking Theyve become fine girls, havent they?, hearing those words, unconsciously, tears spilled from my eyes.

Like this, my career as a guild staff member ended.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Impressions and evaluations left will become my encouragement.

Please treat me well.

Weve reached 8th place in the daily rankings?!

Ive never thought that my work would reach such a high ranking.

As Ive said yesterday, this is all thanks to everyone.

From now on too, please take care of me.

Also, I plan to make it Sylphys POV for a while.

Please take care of me.

TL: Izzy

Yosh, next person!

I am this countrys first prince, Alto Augusta. (TLN: . Suggestions?)

I am now participating in the first and second knight units regular joint practice.

No, youll have to rush in stronger Yes, put in a little more strength!!

Yes, Your Highness!

Although each unit will usually be led by their respective captains, but when such joint practices are held, I would be the one leading them.

Thats because I have the Skills One-handed BladeSaintPhysical Strength EnhancementLarge and Support MagicSpeed Increase

In the royal family, there are three princes including me and two princesses, but all of us have some useful Skills.

This is all thanks to the royal familys policy.

As a distinguished scholar once said, children seem to inherit a similar type of Skill from their parents.

It seems that if both the parents have good Skills, the children born from the two will have a higher chance of obtaining a good Skill the same type as the parents.

Because of that, the royal family obtains information from the temple about those who just came of age and obtained Skills.

If someone who obtained a good Skill appears, the royal family will act and welcome that person as the partner of royalty.

Of course, they will perform a background check on that person. They will check on beforehand whether there is a problem with that persons personality and relationships or not.

Theres no way theyll let a ridiculous person join the royal family, after all.

However, the royal family naturally doesnt use their power and force a person to join them.

If they did such a thing, the citizens of this country will most probably hold animosity towards the royal family.

Oops, Ive gone off topic.

Because of that, Ive been bestowed the same Skills as my father the King, who is also called a hero.

Not only did I receive his Skills, I was also bestowed another Skill, Support MagicSpeed Increase.

Since I was a kid, I was raised with special education personally given by that hero so that I could fight.

When I became 20 years old, there was no one who was on par with me within the country.

Ah, the only person I couldnt win against up until now is Father.

I was able to fight well, but as expected theres the difference in experience.

Well, thats why Im leading the knights like this.

Listen, you guys. Skills are definitely useful. History has proved that.

The way you put in your strength, the way to efficiently move your body, feints if you combine these kind of techniques, youll be able to use Skills more effectively.

Dont forget that that effort you put in will without a doubt, save your life.

Yes!

Although I say the same thing every time during practice, it is an important matter.

If you lose your head over the Skills power and rely too much on it, you will quickly lose your life once an unforeseen situation occurs.

They also have their own family.

Putting their lives on the line for the country thats good.

But I think theres a meaning to returning home to their family alive after protecting the country.

Thats why I say it so many times.

Thats why I train them.

So that they can return to their homes alive.

A country is made up of its citizens.

Older Brother, thank you for your hard work today

My younger brother Lewis handed me a towel.

Ah, thanks

Lewis did not inherit much from Father, but from Mother, Garnet Augusta.

That is, he did not have much battle Skills, but more technique Skills.

AlchemyTrainingOne-handed SwordExtreme

Although he was also bestowed One-handed SwordExtreme, unfortunately his strength within the family would be faster to count from the bottom.

By the way, Mothers Skills are TrainingArithmetic and Unique MagicIce.

Speaking of Mother, its impressive that as a child, when I saw her use ice magic and said Mothers amazing!, she would say Ehehe, Im like a mahou shoujo, right?

Ah, sorry, Ive strayed from the topic again.

Making the best of his Skills, Lewis started his own Clan.

He gathered people who set their aims on alchemy from all over the place, and is growing his Clan towards becoming one of the leading Clans, even among this Country.

For a statesman, its not only military power which is important.

Establishing such an organisation, and since he was requested to manage, it could be said that my younger brother displayed his talent.

Although if you ask him, rather than getting involved in politics, itd be in his nature to build magic tools.

I think that too, but it seems that my family has a tendency to be reckless.

By the way, Nii-san, did you know Nee-san went to confirm her partner candidate?

What!? Sylphys partner candidate!?

I never heard of that

As expected, I see No wonder you were quiet

Muu, my cute little sisters partner candidate, huh! Which high-ranking nobles son is he!?

In any case, they probably forcibly pressed for a marriage meeting because of my little sisters good looks, even though she doesnt have excellent Skills.

And then theres Father, why did he approve such a thing!

Since you look like youre misunderstanding something, just so you know, Nee-sama went on her own accord.

Naturally, Father agreed and sent her out(TLN: san or sama, make up your mind author)

What? Father agreed that means that guy has a good Skill?

I dont know, though it seems that from the temples reports he has AppraisalComplete and Cut & Paste

What? Although its not that I dont understand AppraisalComplete but did he say Cut & Paste?

Is it a Skill which combines Cut and Paste?

Whats the good in that Skill?

By temple you mean hes a commoner? But if those are his Skills then wont those guys who came courting her be better?

Thats true, but you see, it seems he solo-ed an orc

What? A boy who just came of age crushing an orc solo? Thats certainly unusual.

I see, thats why she went to confirm it by herself, its not that I dont understand but.

In my opinion, rather than Nee-san, I want Nii-san to get married right away

Why me

You yourself know that, dont you. Please dont complicate things, you siscon, and get married immediately.

If its someone like Sacred bow or Saint, theres no way Father would be so opposed to it, right?

Hmph

Such rudeness, calling me a siscon.

Where would you find a brother who wont care for his cute little sister.

For now, itll be alright as long as my little sisters can become happy.

Though itd be good if Sylphys partner isnt a boring man.

AN:

Thank you very much for always reading.

Please take care of me from now on.
