How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 12. 1st birthday (7) + Starting today, I am a genius (1)

“It’s because Kania-sama doesn’t have to go to the training ground.”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Leonil is going too...

he really seems to be dissatisfied.

It must be that he was quite envious that Leonil, who was a little older than Kania noona, started to hold the sword.

“I want to learn a sword too.”

“There is no reason for Kania-sama to hold the sword.”

Is it natural

Both Kyle and Leonil are princes....

In other words, they are boys.

Of course, martial arts are not left out of the basic knowledge of a boy from a noble family.

And I will be taking swordsmanship lessons someday.

But Kania noona is a princess.

Seeing flowers and working hard on culture.

It is natural to be more interested in the social church.... That is the position.

what. It seems that I am quite dissatisfied with that.

“I like swords too. Right, Arell?”

“. “Ugh”

I nodded my head as well.

I don't know what to say, but Kania's sister has a talent for wielding a sword.

Didn't you say that the family originally boasted outstanding martial arts?

It is said that the reputation of the past has been lost because no talented child was born, but...

It seems that the lost talent is about to explode in the future from Chakania.

When I remembered and imitated Kyle-hyung's movements a while ago.... Since he was still a child, his movements were awkward, but the position of his feet and the angle of his arms.... Most of them matched to a certain extent.

Am I the only one who noticed that?

It won't be.

Usually, if a child begs for something like this, they might give her a wooden sword, but the ladies-in-waiting adamantly refuse to do so.

“Absolutely not.”

“Hey?????

“You can’t pretend to cry.”

Perhaps the adults also noticed Kania's talent.

Usually, if a child like this is given a sword once, they will absorb it like a sponge meeting water.

But the princess doesn't need a sword.

Presumably, society didn't look so favorably at aristocratic girls who wielded swords.

So I'd be against it too.

“Chi! Then I will only practice with Arell.”

....and sparks always fly at me.

Squeeze.

I run under the tree, and from under it I get a branch from which I hold one of them to me.

What do you say about this?

“Who are you?”

“Arel is practicing with me too!”

....Didn't I say that I wanted to be a punching bag?

“...Arel-nim is still young. It's dangerous, so I can't.”

Fortunately, thanks to the lady-in-waiting with common sense, I was spared the horror of being stabbed with a tree branch.

And the lady-in-waiting to steal the tree branch, and Kania's sister, who runs away to avoid being taken away.

A chase between the two began.

....If you want to learn the sword that much, can't you just secretly teach me?

I tilted my head while holding the branch that Kania-nee had forcibly passed over, then slowly got up, realizing that I couldn't feel her gaze.

He did not walk with an infantile gait, anxious about when he might fall, but put strength in his legs and supported his body in an upright position.

Hold the branch like a sword and hold it 1?

“Hmm?”

swung lightly to the side.

A horizontal cut through the air.

The mana extending from my arm and entangled in the branches spreads out in a thin arc like a breeze.

Is this the first time in your life that you are holding something and swinging it?

This is a very soft sword.

Well... if I set my mind to it, I'm confident that I'll be able to blow out as much blackness as I can to cut down even the straight trees over there.

I already had enough internal energy to do that.

But now, no one has seen it.

I have no intention of showing it.

“What?...”

Is it??????

It's a sword.

If you're interested in swords like that, can I take a chance and teach you a little?

That's right, it's not something to do right now.

It will happen sometime in the not-too-distant future.

I put the branch down again and sat down.

From today I am a genius (1) There is one truth I have realized as I have repeated my life nearly a hundred times.

That's right.....

It's annoying to go out.

After all, why would a sergeant in his later years be stuck in a dormitory?

That's because I realized that if I step forward for nothing, only troublesome things will happen.

I've been through all kinds of rough things in my previous life.

I thought I trained a little bit, but oh! There were times when I was caught up in a war, and even times when I was born with all kinds of animals and plants and suffered hardships.

I don't think there is anyone else who has gone through all the hardships of life with that kind of feeling.

It's a life that has passed a hundred times.

He had rarely been quiet in his not-so-little life.

Thanks to the strength and knowledge accumulated over and over again in my previous life, I could not escape the spotlight and, naturally, I always had to be involved in all sorts of incidents.

I wondered if I would get involved at some point. In the end, though, it was a pattern where I, who had stretched out my temper, smashed everything.

Therefore, at least now, the 100th life, I wanted to reflect on my past experiences and refrain from getting caught up in troublesome situations if possible.

....For things like that, it's not too long since I was born, so I think I've already committed a few things.

Whether it's diamonds or a birthday party... Ugh.....

Where did my life of playing and eating go?

All I want is to find something fun to do, eat what I want to eat, and sleep when I feel sleepy.

A life full of desires

It's such a life that I don't even dare to approach annoying things with my own hands.

Anyway, the world won't let me go.

Let's say the past can't be helped.

Because you can do well in the future.

It's not too late.

My honey sucking life has not yet been missed.

Let's do our best, Allel!

In the future, I'm working hard to suck honey!

I won't do anything!

* * *

When I was five years old, I heard news like a thunderclap.

“It can’t be…

My legs are shaking.

can't see ahead

I tried to clench my fist, but it went numb and I let go of my strength.

“Kuh?????

All I can do is barely stand.

The reason I didn't sit down was because my pride wouldn't allow it.

damn! To think that I, and no one else, could think of this...

It's already too late to bite my lip and regret it.

The situation has already left my hands.

If I had noticed it a little sooner, I would have done anything

.

it's calming down

What if I, a past life expert, get flustered?

Take deep breaths to calm your body and mind.

And I looked up at my Yugo Chena, who was looking down at me.

“Chenna... is that true?”

My ears wouldn't be wrong.

Still, asking again is to reinforce my resolve.

It means to forget the ugliness of the past and devise countermeasures while accepting the reality with these ears again.

“Arel-sama…

Chena sighed lightly.

Is this the first time she's seen something like this since she struggled with budget issues in the past?

Is this situation really that serious?

My expression darkened as well.

Chena looked at me with a face full of emotions and then opened her mouth again.

“…Do you hate studying like that?”

“huh. no.”

I firmly nodded.

huh? What do you mean?

So, in other words...

“Arel-nim is now five years old too.”

That's right, I'm five years old.

When you're cute

This is the age at which people will smile and warmly accept you, even if you do pretty things and have accidents.

I don't have to worry about money these days, so I've been relaxing all this time.

Except for occasional times when Kania noona came, those happy days of dozing off in the warm sunlight continued.

Chena tilted her head while looking at me.

“I’m worried that Arell looks like an old man who has lived his life. Did I teach you something wrong?”

It sounds like she's worried, but that's our nanny's useless worries.

I'm normal.

Just a little lazy.

This is the daily life I longed for.

Do you know when humans shine the most?

That's when it's not working!

People wither when they work.

I did too.

During my past life, I suffered countless times and suffered over and over again. How hard it must have been!

I've suffered a hundred times in the meantime, but I can live on my own at least once!

Eat whatever you want!

Cheap as you want!

If anyone bothers you, kick it!

I will prioritize my desires over my conscience.

Human beings have always lived by desire.

And my desire is not to work right away, and people who don't know how sweet it is to see guys who work hard every day while rolling around in the house and looking happily through the window won't know for the rest of their lives.

By the way... black...

“Arel-nim. According to the royal family's law, when you turn five, you have to start studying.”

Isn't Chena seriously talking to me like this today?

Unlike the usual times when she insists on saying no to me and then gives up pretending that she can't win, her face shows determination today.

what do you mean

Children from aristocratic families usually begin their education around the age of five, unless there is a real problem.

It's really not an ordinary educational fever.

If you're five years old, you have to play, what are you learning?

I want to play until I'm at least 80.

Well, when it comes to education, you learn things that are easy for even a child to understand, such as letters and simple etiquette.

And being a descendant of a royal family is no exception.

Rather, as a child of a royal family, you should learn and practice harder than anyone else.

So I have to learn too.

If you're a good kid, you have to study hard?

Then I will be a troubled child!

“Who decided that? There is no such thing!”

Lately, my tongue has awakened, so now I'm starting to get answers to whoever I talk to.

Thanks to that, Chena has suffered a lot.

“...It's more than who it is... It's custom...

I could see that he was trying to say it as nicely as possible while frowning his brow, as if he wanted to instruct me somehow.

But I don't want to see

I am desperate too.

“I can’t learn.”

“Don’t talk like that.”

Eyebrows began to come together as if Chena couldn't overlook this.

“Ordinary children of the common people cannot learn even if they want to learn.”

I know.

Education is always a privilege of the nobility.

It is common for ordinary people below that level to be unable to read and write their own names unless they are merchants.

If you plow the field even a little more during the time you learn, you can eat and fly through the winter.

....I know that well.

You know well enough to get tired of it.

But is it annoying?

OMG? Before, Kania noona hates etiquette education! I want to learn swordsmanship! I remembered the time when I was crying.

yes my sister was right

“no! no!”

So, I will imitate my sister and make a joke.

Arell, we are going into strike mode from now on.

....if only the ending after that.

In the end, my strike came to an end with my mother personally coming and suppressing it with her own hands.

I was seriously scolded by my mother.
