It seems I am three year old now . How do I know it ? Because in Erdie’s life , his little sister was born when he was three year old and right now ...

  “ Uh, uh , uh “

  “ Lady Aria , we are getting her out .”

  “ Elma , Emi , be more gentle , it hurts . “

  “ Aria , hold tight , when she is out , you will be fine , a little bit more . “

  Just like what you think , Aria is giving birth to her daughter . It seems here , servant are able to help mother giving birth too. Our house is not that big , but we still have rooms for maids and myself , but the sound proof isn’t that good . I am sitting in my room like I was told .

  Hearing something like this is unbearable . I should have sneak out and hunt down some rabbit .

  Why can I hunt rabbits ?

  When Barrick knew about my magical ability , he let me go to the forest with him . And seeing me easily killed ‘ One horned Rabbit ‘ , he had let me permission to go to the forest alone .

  I have been going to the forest everyday ever since .

  Now I am three years old , my physique is somewhat like a twelve years old now , so killing a ‘ One horned Rabbit ‘ with a knife is as easy as killing a normal rabbit . With the memories from Erdie past life , I can use Fire Elemental magic freely and a special magic only Erdie has , called ‘Wipeout’ . I can use it , but after using it , I would faint for two days .

  But today I was forced to stay at home .

  How bothersome.

  As I wait boredly in my room , Elma quickly charge in , holding my sister in her arm .

  “ Erdie , quickly , quickly , bless her , maybe she can use fire magic like you too . “

  “ We not sure yet , if she is an offensive or supportive magic user . “

  “ You may be right . “

  “ Put that aside , what is her name ? “

  It’s true that , I know that Erdie has a sister , but I only know what happened to him , not the name of his parents , his sisters ,the maids , or even his family . So I asked her out of curiosity .

  “ The name , the name ..? Ah , I remember , her name is Lena , Lena Hidle .”

  “ Lena , that’s such a suitable name . ”

  “ It is right , I give her that name .”

  In Erdie’s house , the servants got to name the Hilde’s kids , since they say that they are bad with names. My name was given by Emi , so it’s natural that my sister’s name would be given by Elma .

  “ So , Elma , can I go to the forest now .”

  “ Of course you can “

  “ Thanks , I’ll take my leave “

  “ And bring home some food too .”

  “ Ok “

  Before , it was Erdie’s father , Barrick , who go to the forest and bring animals home , but now I am capable of hunting small monsters like ‘ One horned Rabbit ‘ or ‘ Copper Sparrow ‘ , he rarely go to the forest . Now he in charge of butchering the monsters , if there are too much , he would go to the nearby town and sell them .

  Taking a kitchen knife , I go to the usual forest behind the house . It would seems weird to use a kitchen knife to kill monster rabbits and birds , but the knife is just my protection against bigger monster , those small monster are usually kill by me throwing rocks at them with my ‘Boost’ .

  As I go on usual trail , I hear the voice of someone screaming .

  “ What is that “

  As I walk , the scream seems to be nearer . It stop midway , and I can hear running sounds towards where I am standing .

  “ Uaah , help me , somebody “

  It seems that this is a girl sound . And in fact it is , running towards me was a girl , who seems a bit older than me , holding a staff in her hand , having several bruises on her legs .

  “ What are you doing ?”

  “ Don’t you see , I am running away from this boar .”

  “ Boar ?”

  “ Yes , you should run too , it strength is as equal as 5 horned rabbits “

  “ Five ?“

  “ Don’t be surprised now , run for your life .”

  I was surprised , this boar is equal to 5 horned rabbits . Isn’t it as easy to kill as a normal boar . And since she is holding a staff , she must be able to use decent magic .

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  “ What are you doing , run “

  “ Aren’t you a mage , sis “

  “ I am , but my magic isn’t strong enough to kill it “

  “ I really have to do it , don’t I “

  “ What are you thinking , suiciding “

  “ Nope .“

  As it runs nearer and nearer towards me , I throw the kitchen knife in its direction . Seeing the knife flying towards , the boar move to the right , let it hit one of its limb instead of its forehead

  “ Heh , he is intelligence .”

  “ Are you stupid , you just invoke him . ”

  “ That’s my plan “

  “ Don’t try to look cool “

  It really was my plan , let it see that I am the weaker one , so he will attack me first .

  “ Fool , run away “

  “ ‘ Flame Sword ‘ “

  Right above my shoulder , was a katana made out of fire , I think the material for this sword could be mistaken as the legendary ‘Hihiirokane’ which is rumored to blaze . Unfortunately , this katana is made of fire , that’s all .

  The boar still charge forward me without a hint of fright .

  “ Stupid , ‘ Fiery Blade Arts : Strike ‘ “

  Although Erdie can only use Fire Elemental magic , comparing to the other mages who can use all four . The reason why he was called the strongest lays in his Fiery Blades Arts . The Arts itself only has four moves : Strike , Slash , Thrust and Frenzy . That may seems few but every single full power strike of his Blade Arts can destroy an army of ten thousands . I have yet to reach that level of his , but now my full strike of the Arts is enough to annihilate an army of one hundred , so against a boar , it is more than enough .

  “ It is weaker than I thought , the ‘ Blue Serpent ‘ was much stronger . “

  “ How did you do that , it’s a monster that can only be killed when having more than twenty adults , and you are just a boy “

  “Luck, I guess .”

  “ How can that be luck ?”

  “ Oi , oi stop moving , your legs “

  “ What’s with my leg “

  As soon as she realize the bruises on her leg , she fell down on her leg immediately .

  “ Seriously , how old are you ? “

  “ Don’t act like you are older . “

  “ How old are you then ? “

  “ I will be turning five next month , call me sister “

  “ Six ? “

  “ What about it “

  “ You are too immature for someone who is six years old .”

  I would say once again , that in this world , a six year old like her is consider to be a teenager .

  “ I don’t want to hear it from someone younger than me . “

  “ Shut up . Just don’t move , you will make it’s worst .“

  “ So what I have to do “

  Coming near her , I put my hand above her legs and use ‘Recovery’ on her .

  “ You are so annoying . Don’t move .‘Recovery’. “

  “ It’s not going to happen , because you are an offensive- “

  “ See , your bruises are gone , you are fine now . “

  “ How did you do that ?”

  “ Do what ?”

  “ Heal me , I haven’t heard of anyone who can use both types of magic “

  “ Now you know of one . “

  Answering her , I quickly run back to my house while carrying the boar on my back .

  “ There will be a lot of food for today “

  Quickly get out of the forest , I run back to my house , already seeing Barrick waiting for me .

  “ Whoa , Erdie , this is a big one . It seems , it will take some time to have food today “

  “ I am counting on you . “

  “ No problem . “

  Quickly get the boar down from my back , he take the knife out of its it front legs and start to butcher it . His skills are just amazing . With that small knife , he easily chop each leg like it’s nothing . He headed and start to skin the boar . Although all the hunting was left to me , Barrick himself is quite a good hunter , if he wants to , he can easily hunt down a couple of serpents on his own .

  “ So I will go in first .”

  “ Who that’s “

  Seems like Barrick has spot someone , he immediately shout out .

  “ Er , um , sorry , I got lost so , I just follow you here . “

  “ Ah , it’s the sister .”

  “ What’s with that sarcastic voice , give me some respect .”

  “ Nope .”

  “ Erdie , you know her ? “

  “ Yes , we met when she was running away from the boar .”

  “ Running away from a boar ? The boar is not that dangerous .”

  “ You think so too . “

  “ You are abnormal , I am normal that’s all .”

  “ Haha, Erdie ,you are called abnormal . “

  “ It’s true though .”

  “ Right , put it aside , little miss, why are you here .”

  “ Didn’t she said , she got loss .”

  “ Ah , sorry . We don’t have many things here , but at least we’ll help you with a room .“

  “ Thank you very much “

  “ Ah , little miss , how should I call you ?”

  “ It’s Rumi , Rumi Shizumi ? “

  “ Oh , are you from the far east ?”

  “ I think so . “

  Rumi Shizumi , isn’t that a really Japanese like name , I will have to ask her later .

  “ Rumi , we are having boar later , so Erdie , led her to Emi’s room please “

  “ As you wish “

  I quickly lead her to Emi’s room .

  “ Is this my room ?”

  “ Temporary , it was a maid room. “

  “ Isn’t this too good for a maid room .”

  “ Maybe .”

  I quickly close the door behind me . And I use ‘ Barrier’ to create a zone for me and Rumi

  “ ‘Barrier’”

  “ What are you going to do ? “

  “ I have to ask you something , don’t be worry, I locked the door already , and this barrier is soundproof too.”

  “ It seems you want to ask me about magic , uh hum . You can ask anything you like “

  “ Are you one of the people who reborn too . “

  It seems I ask her straight on the topic .

  “ No , w-w-why did you ask that “

  “ Jackpot right ?”

  “ I don’t now what you are talking about .”

  “ You are a Japanese right ? “

  “ What’s that nonsense “

  “ You don’t have to be alarmed , I am from Japan too .”

  “ You are ? That’s a relief then “

  “ Relief ?”

  “ Of course , the goddess says that I’ll meet another Japanese here , I can’t believe that’s it’s you .“

  “ I don’t look like a Japanese ? “

  I was born with black hair , but it seems that black hair is normal here .

  “ No , not your look , I mean your magical capabilities , how can you become that strong ? “

  “ I drink a horned rabbit blood .”

  “ That’s why . Wait , Horned Rabbit blood ? “

  “ What’s about it ?”

  “ Are you stupid , that could kill you ?”

  “ I’m still alive right ? “

  “ Jeez , you really are abnormal . “

  “ Nope , I am a normal high school boy , nothing strange “

  “ Eh , you are older than me ? “

  “ Of course , I am seventeen already “

  “ Wah , I can’t accept this , you look so much younger . I thought you were as old as me ”

  “ Heh ? And how old are you then“

  “ I am fourteen . “

  “ Are you frustrated because you are going to use honorifics towards a boy like me ? I don’t mind if you call me little boy though . “

  “ That’s okay ? “

  “ I don’t mind . “

  “ Really , Erdie , you are so nice “

  She then pick me up and hug me tightly

  “ I cannot breathe “

  “ Sorry . Erdie , it may be inapproriate to ask , but can I stay here ?”

  “ Why ? “

  “ I was born an orphanage , and I lived at a church for 4 years , I was able to learn magic too. But that church burned down and all of the sisters were dead . I have to walk through different places until I met that boar , so can you kindly let me stay here “

  “ Of course , but in one condition . You must be able to use all Elemental Magic in the next two years .”

  “ I’ll try “

  “ I’ll tell them after meal time . It seems the food is ready , let’s eat , Shizu “

  I invited her for meal , and she gladly accept it .

  After the meal , I did talk to the parents about it , and they agree to it , I don’t know why but even Barrick is crying , he said that was tear of joy . Elma and Emi was happy too , too happy to be exact .

  That is how I met Shizu , one of the most important people to me , and the one that will thrive me once again to be called as the kingdom’s traitor .
