Chapter 1.2

Do you know of the demon king academy Mother?

My mother tilts her head to side showing she doesnt understand it.

Never heard of it. Where is it?

Its quite far away. Its in Deiruheido.

A school in such a far off place. Is something wrong?

An invitation arrived to enter the school. I intend to go.

You, you cant. Such a far-off school? Its dangerous! Arnos-chan is only a month old.

..No. Even if you say a month.

As a reincarnated person its a bit troubling being treated like a baby.

Unfortunately, they dont believe the reincarnated story at all.

My mother doesnt know anything about my character as the demon king either.

Also mother cant travel such a distance to Deiruheido. Theres a magic school nearby. Is that no good?

Theres nothing to learn from a magic school. Besides, Ill be going alone so mother is safe here.

Thats no good. Arnos-chan is only a month old. I cant let you live alone. What about money?

I can make money myself.

How? The world isnt so nice as-

Magic power gathers in my palm and lumps of gold appear.

Eh? No waythis.its not a fake made by magic. its real.

My mother makes her living as an expert appraiser. She very good at judging precious metals.

She can no see how easy it is for me to make money.

How did you do this Arnos-chan? Such magic. Even the sage at the castle cant do this.

It seems my mother is surprised. Its no wonder.

Speaking of the sage at the castle, they are a master of magic and compete for the top spot in the country.

If you couldnt even use this low-level type of magic back in the age of myths you would have died but apparently, the world has become very peaceful.

Its the most basics of creation magic to produce things that already exist in the world. The beginners class teaches you to create mithril and orichalcum. For the demon king Arnos this is mere child play.

Do you believe me even a little that Im a reincarnated being now?

No matter how great a magic you can use no means no. Also, you shouldnt call your own name like that if you are an adult. Okay?

Tch. Shes got a point.

What is this school then? What would you be studying?

What should I do? I can easily leave by force.

Its alright Isabella.

My father comes over from the depths of the house.

Theres no holding a man back from the road hes decided on.

But dear, Arnos-chan is only a month old and I dont know anything about this school.

They say if you dont see a boy for 3 days they grow. Arnos is already a month old. In that case, we will have to observe him 10 times more but father doesnt have eyes that big.(3)

Ah, un. Its been a month. Having lived together for a month with my parents I understand them. My mother is a worrywart and my dad is a bit of a fool.

Father knows Arnos. The demon king academy is a school a raises the wizard king isnt it? Arnos is so good at magic Im sure he wants to study there.

..I guess its roughly like that

Its totally different but lets keep that to myself.

Go Arnos. My dad said in a powerful voice.

Is it okay?

My father nods.

However, we will all go together.

.What?

Its the duty of a parent to support their child. You are still young. You are only a month old after all.

.So fathers worried as well.

*chichichi* my father wags his finger.

Its Arnos that doesnt understand. Listen up. Parents are always sad and lonely when a child leaves home. You are a newborn. We will be very lonely.

My father is using difficult words to explain it.

I think you should use simpler words.

Isabellas lonely too right?

Yes..you grew up so fast. I didnt think..sorry. Maybe Arnos-chan is a child given great power by God and you think your mother is obstructive but I want to be together a little longer.

Im at a loss for words.

In my old life, I didnt have parents.

My mother died.

Did my father die? Did he throw me away? I dont know.

I dont remember ever talking to my parents.

I never thought about it.

If you will be lonely I guess theres no help for it.

My mothers face lit up when I said this.

Alright, its decided! Well prepare to move house straight away. Dont worry about anything. Father is a blacksmith. No matter where we go we wont have to worry about eating!

And like this, the three-person family will move to Deiruheido.

(1) Kanji reads reincarnation but the furigana reads silica.

(2) Kanji reads growth but the furigana reads crest.

(3) The three days thing is part of an old proverb but I couldnt find a good English source to explain it better.
