Career Counseling

「It is a winter trip so I was prepared for a harsh journey, but it’s warm and comfortable」

 Mina’s gentle voice resonates inside the carriage. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 A few hours have passed since we left Koryatt village. Our carriage was advancing smoothly.

 There is still a little snow remaining on the road, but with the recent warm weather continuing to occur it’s not enough to hinder our carriage’s progress. Though I said that, we’re still right in the middle of the winter season so it doesn’t change the fact that it is still cold so I keep some fireballs afloat. Thanks to that the inside of the carriage was very warm and comfortable.

「Although normally you can not easily warm yourself with magic like this……」

「We can afford to use mana luxuriously since we have two magicians and that is an advantage」

 For a magician, mana should be conserved as much as possible. As it will be getting the priorities backward if you can’t use magic in an emergency and are unable to fight.

「No, that is not what I meant」

 That’s what I meant, but it seems like Nord-tousan and I have different thoughts.

「To begin with, it is impossible for normal magicians to keep using magic for hours on end. They simply do not have enough mana and just maintaining their magic alone wears down your nerve」

「Isn’t that way too weak?」

 I was so surprised I ended up saying something that sounded like Eleonora-neesan.

 No matter how much you say I have a lot of mana it’s not like that. I mean, it will be possible to use and maintain your magic as easily as breathing if you keep on training your magic repeatedly. And for me, it’s easier than walking. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 When I said something like that, the two of them wryly smiled at me.

「It’s a harmful effect of there not being any normal magician in Al’s surroundings」

「There is only Elna who is the closest magician so the standards are high」

 Elna-kaasan looks a little happy after hearing what Nord-tousan said.

 It’s obvious that Elna-kaasan level as a magician is high.

「Indeed, it’s strange to have an A-rank adventurer like Elna-kaasan as the standard」

 Salva and Baghdad also pointed out the strangeness of my magic skill so I’ve started to think of it recently.

「I would recommend going to the Magic Academy to learn the general common sense of a magician」

「Right. Schugel-sama is the headmaster of the Misfid house’s Academy. It might be good to consult about the Magic Academy once we are finished with our discussion.  Although he has not reached the age for admission, Al might be allowed to enter with Al’s talent――」

「Rejected」

 The two’s conversation started to go in a strange direction so I stepped in to reject it.

「Why do you not like the idea of going there?」

 I’ve known from a long time ago that the two of them wanted me to go to the Magic Academy, but I don’t know what they would say to Ra-chan’s papa if I don’t make it clear now. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「It’s because I don’t want to go to school」

「Why don’t you want to go there? You will be able to make friends and learn various things, you know? Al likes magic, right?」

 Both Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan tilt their heads in curiosity.

 It looks like they really don’t understand the reason why I don’t want to go to school.

 Using an example from my previous life, it’s like a child saying they don’t want to attend high school.

「It’s true I like magic, but it’s not to the point where I want to go to school because of that. I can study on my own and Elna-kaasan can teach me anyway」

「Indeed, that’s true」

「Elna, you should not just accept that!」

「R, right!」

 Elna-kaasan came to her senses when Nord-tousan pointed that out.

 It’s not like I want to be a great magician or something. I’m interested in researching useful magic to spend a slow life, but going to school and giving up freedom as a child is like putting the cart before the horse.

「What about making friends? You will be able to get to know a lot of people if you go to the Academy, you know?」

「I don’t really want to make that many noble friends. There will be a lot of high-ranking nobles with intolerable behaviour so I don’t feel like making friends with them」

「That’s understandable」

 Elna-kaasan deeply nodded at my reply. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan rose to become a noble from commoner status. And despite their immense popularity, there are also part of the nobles that envy them. Thanks to that, the anxiety of socializing with the nobles is unbearable.

「I’m already on good terms with Viscount Yurina, Earl Melna, Duke Vladimir, Baron Sylford, and Viscount Dole, so I don’t really want to have that much interaction with other nobles」

「You are also close with the young ladies of the Misfid and Ringrande house, Alfried-sama surprisingly has a wide range of connections, doesn’t he」

「It’s amazing how he can make such a pinpoint, and deep relationship with influential nobles」

 Whether the relationship with Alicia and Ra-chan is considered ‘deep’ is still questionable, but it’s not bad being perceived as having a large range of connections.

「Th, that might be true, but you want more friends right, Al?」

「No, not at all」

 And if I go to Kagura, there are Haru, Shuichi, and Kojiro, if I go to Jaisal and Lazerica, there are Maya, Salva, and Baghdad. There are also the adventurers like Mort and Irvine and I’m also on good terms with Koryatt villagers. I don’t feel lonely or anything so there’s no need for me to desperately make friends.

 Thinking back on them, I realized I have a lot more friends than I used to be.

「B, but, you will also have more choices in the future after you graduate from the Academy...」

「But I’ve been making a lifetime amount of money from the rights of things like spaghetti, reversi, spinning tops, and table tennis.....」

「But you do not know when that will last, right?」

「There are still things like Game of Life, kendama, ring toss, small fish scooping, kick target, throwing target, and Gregor’s doll play, you know?」

 Nord-tousan is worried about my future earnings, but that was unthinkable. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 If I continue to put out more products in the market, then the family will be in chaos so I hold them back but there is still plenty of money I can earn. Although it is currently being released in small amounts, the amount of money we make is already this much.

 There’s no need for me to work already.

 When I thoroughly presented such details, Nord-tousan finally went quiet.

「Alfried-sama has been thinking of his future a lot, huh」

「Well, I don’t want to work after all」

「It’s amazing how you have been putting so much effort since young in order not to work」

 ……hm? Hearing what Mina said, I feel like I’m getting my priorities backward. But let’s not think too deeply about it. It’s also a necessary effort in order to have a relaxed slow life.

「Anyway, I’m not going to the Magic Academy. I’m just going to eat, sleep, and play to my heart’s content」

 Yeah. I’ve decided that I’m gonna live a slow life this time around. That’s why I’m never going to the Magic Academy.

 Whether assisting Sylvio-niisan, being the manager of an Ice house, or earning a stable income from hobby-level work. There’s no problem with that.

 After I declared that, Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan looked at each other and made complicated expressions.

「What is it that you’re dissatisfied with?」

 I don’t understand what makes the two of them worried they want me to attend the Magic Academy?

「Hmーm, there is nothing wrong with Al’s plan. You have also studied hard since you were a child, you have improved your magic, and you also earned a lot of money yourself already. You don’t have to worry about living as an adult」

「Since you have a talent for magic, you could become a royal court magician, but if you don’t want to do it then we would not force you」

「Then, it’s fine the way it is right」

「That’s true, but I am worried about leaving you in the mansion all the time」

「Even when you become an adult, it feels like you are going to stay cooped up in the mansion all day. We are worried that you will become a very useless child」

 Nord-tousan and Elna-kaasan told me with troubled expressions on their faces.

 I quietly averted my eyes from them both.

 There’s nothing I can do about such a concern. That is my aim in this world anyway so I would like you to warmly watch over me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
