I Can Speak with Animals and Demons Chapter 23 Part1

Thanks to the owl, I was able to get back to the mansion before sunset.

My mother Claire and Julia were a little angry and were about to go searching for me.

From now on, let's pay attention to the time. I'm still a child.

After dinner, a family meeting was held in the living room.

Apparently, it was surprising for my family for me to talk about becoming an adventurer earlier.

Me, Jed Clifford, third son of the Clifford family. It is obvious that the eldest son Gladys will become the head.

The second son, Gillion, is the next in line. There seems to be some disagreements on which one of the two of them shall succeed.

My brother Gillion is not interested in such a thing.

Well, unlike a kinky second son, I think that my brother Gladys can do it properly.

Even if it is a possibility for the eldest son and the second son, as the third son, I don't have much chance of succeeding my father.

Rather, I can't imagine my brothers fighting it out.

And the third and fourth sons like me, usually go to knight training schools and magic schools.

And then they become knights, wizzards, and officers, and eventually get married to connect with other families. There is no such thing as an aristocratic adventurer, so it seems unusual.

Adventurer.

Those who excell in battle and hunt monsters that exist in this world and sell their materials to make a living.

Tough monter materials seem to be used for various things and are traded at high prices. They are used for everyday items such as weapons, armor, and clothes. Their demand is never exhausted.

If you are an adventurer, defeating monsters isn't the only job. There are also small requests like escorting people, carrying luggage, and collecting. Sometimes they make it big by finding treasure chests while searching through ruins and caves

But they must't be careless, as even a small ch.o.r.e can be fraught with danger.

Therefore, my mother and father objected.

Whether I can, and how I fight.

I understand that magic can be used here. I managed to convince them to a certain degree thanks to my brother Gillion's support.

Then I was told that I should go to the magic academy, but I don't intend to do so, so I won't go. I want to become an adventurer, earn money and go around the world freely.

However, even though magic can be used, I am after all a child. And there are limits to what you can do alone.

Until I'm twelve years old, I have to learn swordsmans.h.i.+p and magic.

If I become an adventurer, I have to form a party.

They will forgive me on the condition that I show a certain level of competence.

Father and Gladys are happy to have another sparring partner. Basicly, they support me.

My brother Gillion said “Since you're going to use magic, we should practice magic control too.”. He's noisy, but I think it's to support me.

My sister Julia said “Please do your best because it is interesting.” I don't want to ask what is interesting.

“Jed, just live with your mother in the mansion!” My mother is slightly opposed. But it's also an attractive life, but I might want to wait about 30 years.

I need to be in a good mood and show my ability. My mother is a little overprotective.

From now on, things will be difficult as I will need to do a lot of magic and swords practice.

But what should I do to show my ability?

One week after the family meeting.

Sword practice began immediately.

“Foo…. Foo….”
