chapter 3 . magic practice

Just as I had set my goal , there was another knock at the door.

'Young master, it's time for breakfast.'

 I heard the woman's voice, and at the same time, the door was opened.

I caught my breath as I saw a white hand gripping the doorknob, a thin arm, a shoulder, and my gaze followed it all the way to the person's face.

"Young master ?"

 Cute.

 What is this?

Crescencia Tan is definitely the cutest person in the world, but she's the second cutest looking person in the world.

I guess you could call her the wet-feather color of a crow. Her shiny black hair is pulled back in a side-tail, and her black eyes, peeking out from between her long hair bangs, sparkle

 Her height is around 150. She is somewhat short, and her body shape is a little less expressive. To put it simply, her breasts and buttocks are small.

However, with her young appearance, it is rather an advantage.

It is a factor that increases the level of cuteness.

I have seen many idols, models, and actresses in Japan, and this girl is overwhelmingly cuter than any of them.

---I learned later that the servants of aristocratic families only hire beautiful girls with a view to becoming their future mistresses.

 The girl in front of me is one of them. The aristocrats did their best to find a beautiful girl.

 Naturally, not knowing such a thing yet, I was simply bewildered by this encounter.

"Are you alright little boy?"

"'Oh, no, it's all right. It's nothing".

"-----"

 The black-haired maid looks at me suspiciously.

What was so odd about our short conversation just now?

I don't have any memories of Norwin's past.

I don't know how to behave.

"Are you still sleepwalking, young master?""

I don't know how to behave like Nolwyn. This response just because I used honorifics, could it be that Norwin was a typical bad boy?

 No. I have no idea.

 Damn, Norwin Teme.

 Why was he a mob character ?

He should at least be active enough to be mentioned in the past, you idiot.

What the hell do you think you're doing being inferior to those single-celled combat idiots who have nothing better to do than to kill Cress?

 Well, I'm now a Norwin.

"Huh."

 I really don't know what to do.

My goal is ambitious, but I've stumbled at the first step in my quest to achieve it.

 Oh, my God. What am I supposed to do now?

And, for starters, she said breakfast, didn't she?

Well, where are my meals going to be?

 This room? Or is there a room specially for that?

"Um, breakfast."

 I muttered to myself, and moved around aimlessly, looking for a sign of what was going on. The black-haired maid made a gesture to leave the room as if to lead me out.

 Good.

I left the room and followed the black-haired maid with light steps.

As I had expected, this house is a big mansion.

 I opened the door to a long corridor.

I haven't exercised for a long time, so I'm just making an unreliable guess, but I'm guessing it's about the same distance as a 50-meter .

Then, looking at the furniture, paintings, and chandeliers lined up at equal intervals, I began to feel that I had really moved into this world.

"This way, please."

 We eventually arrived at a small room with a dining table. The room was small for an aristocrat's mansion, and did not have the luxurious atmosphere that I had seen so many times before I came here.

There was no sign of my parents waiting for me there.

Only the plates with dishes were lined up on the table.

 Hmmm. Family relations are not good?

I can't judge anything from what I've seen today. Let's eat anyway.

Itadakimasu.

 My first meal in this world tasted quite ordinary.

 Perhaps the breakfast I just had was for the nobility and is a luxurious meal by this world's standards. I could somehow understand.

 The black-haired maid standing by the wall was looking at me enviously.

However, I was a gourmand who had been trained in Japanese cuisine for many years.

I was not at all satisfied with the cuisine of a civilization that was several centuries behind the times.

There are things you don't realize until you have lost them. All I eat is meat, and I miss white rice.

Now that I've finished my meal, I'd like to get back into the action.

Time is limited. I don't intend to waste the next ten years.

"Excuse me. What were my plans for the rest of the day?"

"Yes?"

 It's rare. The black-haired maid, who had been serving me so far in a brusque but precise manner, tilted her head as if she had heard something odd.

No, that's why I want to confirm the schedule.

You know, swordsmanship, etiquette, magic, study, whatever it is?

The black-haired maid only furrowed her brow in annoyance and did not answer.

 Well.... This can't be helped .

"I was so shocked that I could not even speak . Well, I am very sorry to tell you this, but I you have no particular schedule."

 I see. So that's how it is.

In the world of Arcue, it is common knowledge that nobles have to study to a certain extent in order to fulfill their duties as nobles.

I guess there are circumstances that prevent me from doing even that.

The breakfast that welcomed me alone is one of them, perhaps Norwin is treated coldly in this house.

"Hmph. ------ hmph."

"young master ?"

 I couldn't suppress the laughter that welled up in me. Because that means freedom.

I don't know how many limitations are placed on my behavior, but under those limitations, I'm free.

I could suck up this environment in order to prepare for the rescue of Crescencia, without the responsibilities of nobility.

I am an elite NEET who endured the cold stare of my parents, but nibbled mercilessly on their shins.

I am a great person who never leaves anything behind.

From my point of view, this mansion is a treasure house.

 All right!

 Let's practice magic first!

Let's spend some time on studying myself for the time being!

With that decision made, I return to my room in high spirits, send the black-haired maid away, and lock myself in my room .

 No one is watching me. Good. With this, I can practice magic as much as I want.

 Normally, I would need a book or an instructor.

However, I have all kinds of knowledge of magic that I have acquired from my more than 1,000 cycles of Arcue.

I am a walking strategy book, so to say. Nothing is impossible!

I thrust my right hand in front of me, and slowly utter the chant that comes to my mind.

"O Spirit of Flame. My--"

The heat gradually seeped into my body.

 It was an unknown sensation that I had never felt when I was in Japan.

 Intuitively, I understood that this was caused by magic.

It is the increase of that which lies deep within the body.

 I circulated it throughout my body and gathered it in my outstretched hand...

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, I felt nauseous and fatigued, and all concentration was broken.

I don't even have to think, "What the hell is this? " It was a strange suffering that did not even bring to mind puzzlement.

Perhaps it is a sign of magic power loss, which I know only from my knowledge of the game. I was struck by a pain that increased the suffering of being bedridden with the flu by several dozen times, and I lost my consciousness in a moment of shock
