The Waiting Gideon

「See you, Al」

「Good night, Ra-chan」

 Once the dinner is over, the meal gathering is also over. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 After giving a quick courtesy good wishes to Ra-chan, I left the dining room and headed for my room.

 Though, before that, I wanted to go to the bathroom so I passed my room and headed straight to the bathroom.

 When I left the bathroom, I found Gideon leaning his back on the wall in the hallway.

 It was an action that wouldn't look good on a kid like me, but it looks good when the slender Gideon does it.

 ……even so, I wonder why he’s here?

 The room where the Slowlett house - as visitors - resides and the member of Misfid house’s room should be on a different level. It’s clear that he’s waiting for me.

 I wonder if this is related to the chantless magic Ra-chan said during dinner earlier?　

 It’s a bother to get involved in something like that. He seems to have some business with me, but I purposely act as if I don’t notice and quickly bow at him and pass in front of Gideon.

「……wait」

「…………」

 And just as I thought, Gideon called out to me.

 Still ignoring him as I continued to walk, Gideon came running around to block me.

「I’m telling you to wait, so you should wait!」

「Is there something? Gideon-sama」

 My stomach is full right now so I am feeling sleepy. Can’t it wait until tomorrow? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 How much happier this world would be if I could say that. I asked him while thinking about it.

「During our meal earlier, Ranna said she learned chanting omission from you. Was that the t truth?」

 I want to talk my way out of this by lying, but I don’t want Ra-chan to label me as a liar if I were to do that. I want to avoid troublesome things, but I can’t avoid it if it means degrading Ra-chan.

「Well, that’s the truth」

「When was that?」

 Why would you not know about your own sister? I mean, I’m sure Ra-chan will be the first to tell you if you were to care about her. Despite holding such thoughts, I open my mouth and say.

「It was when Ranna-sama visited our territory. She succeeded in doing that after I taught her the trick when we practiced magic together」

「……i, is that so」

 When I roughly explained the details to him, Gideon nodded despite looking surprised.

 Then he sinks into silence as he crosses his arms as if pondering over something.

 I’ve told him what he wants so you have no more business with me, right?

「Well then, I will take my leave」

「Wait!」

 Just as I was about to leave, Gideon went around and cut me again.

 Alfried can’t escape. What is this monster?

「Is there something else?」

「……teach me about those tricks of omitting the chant」

 I still asked while enduring the urge to sigh and Gideon said that in a low voice while adjusting his glasses with quick motion. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 This is the Misfid house’s eldest son, said to be Magic Nobles.

 He’s also attending the Magic Academy, there’s no way he couldn’t use one or two chant omissions.

「??? Could it be, Gideon-sama can not use chant omission and chantless magic?」

「Of course I can!」

「Eeh? You can not do it?」

「You, are you provoking me?」

「No, I have no intention of doing so……but you really can not use them?」

「To begin with, you need to refine your mana and put together the incantation, which is the magic language to cast magic. It is impossible to skip over the command-type incantation to cause the phenomenon from magic. Only a select few geniuses who have accumulated a lot of information and become proficient in magic techniques can use them. So it’s strange for little kids like you and Ranna to be able to do it!」

「Doesn’t that mean Ra-chan and I are part of those geniuses?」

「I am also a genius. It’s strange for a genius such as me to be unable to do it, I can’t stand the fact there are things I can’t do」

 What the heck is this person? He has such a pointlessly high self-esteem. He’s a complicated person in a different way from Eric it’s troublesome.

「So, teach me」

「Ehhー, but there is no merit for me.....」

 It’s fine if it’s the cute Ra-chan, but I don’t want to teach someone who waits in front of my room in the middle of the night while talking down at me.

「You can become friends with me」

「Err, I already have secured a relationship with the Duke’s house」

I’ve become acquainted with some important people from Viscount House to above like Ra-chan, Schugel, and Alicia, who are almost too important for a Baron house. I already have an excessive personal connection in order to spend a peaceful, slow life in the countryside. I would like to refrain from becoming closer to someone from a Duke’s house any more than this.

「You have such a skill in magic. You will also eventually enter the Magic Academy and become a court magician, right? If you have a close relationship with the next head of the family of a Duke’s house, you will be able to squeeze into most of the executive positions 」

 The fact Gideon could negotiate this smoothly shows that he’s not just a studying fanatic who is interested in magic.

「No, I am not going to enroll in the Magic Academy, and I don’t want to work in the first place...」

「You don’t want to attend the Magic Academy despite being able to use chantless technique, and have no intention to work in the court!? Are you stupid!」

 Err, even if you say that, all I want is to live a slow life in the countryside.

 I don’t want to waste my life going to school again, and I never intended to work seriously in the first place. So the benefits Gideon presented didn’t feel attractive to me at all.

 Or rather, I’m still seven years old, you know? It’s hard to say how useful a job guarantee in such a distant future will really be. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「So, what is it you want」

 I was about to reflexively say ‘money’ but I’m not that short on money in this world. I mean, with product development like Reversi and Spaghetti, the Slowlett house’s purses are always well-off.

 When I think about other things besides money, they would be things difficult to obtain in our house.

「Hmmー, I want a magic item」

 Like the magic instrument, Varschell, Schugel played in the water show performance the other day.

 If it were the eldest son of Misfid's house, then he might have rare magic tools I can’t get my hands on.

「Unfortunately I have no interest in magic tools. But Father owns a lot of magic tools. Let’s see if I could talk it over with him to give you some things he owns」

「Ooh, then I look forward to it!」

 Apparently, Schugel is a collector of magic tools. If he could give me some magic tools from his collection, then it would be no problem to give a simple lecture about chant omission and chantless technique.

「Negotiation complete then. Yosh, teach me right away」

「Err, but as expected, let us do it tomorrow, all right? You will need to talk with Schugel-sama about it and it is already late」

 Although the negotiation was settled, you haven’t gotten approval to get the magic tool from Schugel yet. It would be troublesome if he said that he hadn’t received approval from his father to give me a magic tool when it was time to do so.

「Che, can’t be helped. Then I am going to talk about it with Father right now. Keep your schedule open tomorrow 」

 And after saying that, Gideon walked up the stairs even before I could reply to him.

 Good grief, what would have happened if I had planned to go outside?

 Ra-chan’s oniisan is such a difficult person.

 Although, I might be able to receive a treasured magic tool from the Misfid house.

 I’m really looking forward to it.

 Wouldn’t they happen to have a futon magic tool that lets me sleep soundly or a magic tool with automatic interception capabilities that can prevent Eleonora-neesan from waking me up even when I’m sleeping in bed?

 While my imagination ran wild thinking if such an attractive magic tool existed or not, I slept on the luxurious bed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
