29-Years-Old Bachelor Was… Brought To A Different World To Live Freely Volume 1 Chapter 9

—————————————————————————————————————————————-Ch.9 When I went to the knight’s barrack, I was judged……….(fake name)

Last night, we even forgot about dinner. So when we woke up we are eating our lunch in a leisurely manner.

Pinea today, continue to serve food normally without any teasing.

But when our eye met, she gave me a warm smile.

What is that face of “Yeah, yeah, I understand everything, no need to talk.”. It p.i.s.sing me.

“So what should we do today”(Marl)

“Yeah, we have no urgent things too.”(Taichi)

I tried asking Marl about our wedding ceremony, Marl said that we should do it normally like majority adventurers.

If they’re n.o.ble or a commoner that lives in the town, they have to make a register at the governor services.

Officially register and proceed with the wedding ceremony, something like that.

But for adventurers at most, they just make a request to change their surname at the guild.

Then let’s do that right now, and when Marl heard it.

“Yes! Let’s do that right now!”(Marl)

“Yeah, let’s go the guild”(Taichi)

After we finished that, we can have some tea or liquor there, if I’m bored, I can train on Traning ground too.

Also, we have a budget, gears, and battle power, we should look for a way to move to another town too.

I go all the way to here, another world. If I don’t go and do some sightseeing it would be a total waste.

They don’t have any attraction here at Crossroad, let’s look for that kind of information too.

Marl is also nodding in approvement. After we finished our meal, we go to the Adventurer Guild.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

“Yo, there you are. The knights are called for you”(Ulz)

When we arrived at the guild, Oldman Ulz notify me about that appointment with the knights.

Is must be about Trolls from before.

When I’m asking him, he told me that they want only me to go.

So, I can’t bring Marl together.

“What do you think?”(Taichi)

“………If that is just an invitation to the knight order, then it’s good.”(Marl)

Marl’s happy face from before turned into the serious face.

I feel the tension is rising up here.

“Even if I said called, but I think this is just an invitation to meet with them. They won’t do anything bad.”(Ulz)

Oldman Ulz encourages me with positive back up.

He must worry about Marl’s gesture. Well, the other side is the Knight order, I just have to go.

“I don’t know what will happen, so Marl will stay here. And I haven’t told you yet, but I think about moving to another town, so I want you to gather some useful information for me a little.”(Taichi)

“I understand, please be careful Taichi-san.”(Marl)

I’m the member of Adventurer Guild, they won’t do something terrible.

I leave the guild and go for the knight’s barrack.

If I remember it right, it’s in the Western district.

Ah, I forgot to make a request to change surname.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

When I arrived at the barrack, look like my invitation is well known, so they instantly brought me to the meeting place.

Crossroad is one of the biggest towns that belong to the Karendale kingdom.

There is a change of a Mayor in every 5 years.

Mayor will be chosen from the influential n.o.bles in the kingdom.

The n.o.ble who got appointed can only be Count and upper ranks.

And the n.o.bles rank of this kingdom from the highest to lowest is Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, Baron, Baronet.

For more details, there’s a lot more than this.

Such as, people who got appointed as a knight will be treated as n.o.ble.

Or, honorary n.o.ble doesn’t have a lineage, such as an adventurer. Or mercenary who has an achievement from war.

These are a knowledge that I got from Marl.

Even so, what are they calling me here for?

“I, I yield!”

“Enough! Winner, Taichi-dono!”

Why am I sparring with these knights?

When they brought me here, I have a little time so I raise Sword and Polearm skill to lv.4 and bare-handed to lv.3.

Another is magic that I have learned, I raised all to lv.3.

The result is me have a straight victory against the knights whose lv. are higher than me.

I already explain this long so, I’ll also add that Spell fist is not on the skill list that I can choose to lv up.

If I have the skill that isn’t on the skill list, should I categorizing them as skill, it’s hard.

I still have skill point I left for useful looking magic in the future.

“He can use many of powerful magic, and he also has talent in sword…..”

“Among adventurers, sometime there will be an omnipotent like this, don’t underestimate them”

Knights who are watching from the side is gossiping.

Ufufu, sorry I got this from a cheat.

Next opponent bowed to me.

I also bowed back and enter the stance.

A sword we are using in this sparring sessions are metal sword without sharp edges, but if it hit you hard enough, it can break your bones.

This is a little better than using a real sword to train.

It easily got you hurt, but it makes your body receive nearly real battle feeling.

And even if you got hurt, there is a mage here to heal you.

“YAHH!”

Opponent knight is shouting and closing up.

I step side way to dodge slant slash that aims for my shoulder and use my back to attack him with kungfu.

Even if its just cool looking technique, but combined with bare-handed to lv.3, it throws of metal armored knight away.

But the knight got his balance back in the mid-air beautifully and charge at me again.

“OHHHH!”

“ORAAAA!”(Taichi)

This time we exchange a blows with swords.

As expected of Sword skill lv.3, his attack is sharp and powerful.

But I’m now lv.4, I’m a master that is hard to find in the world.

I parried his sword and punches him in the hand that is holding a sword.

When I point my sword at a troat of a knight who already lost his sword.

“Winner! Taichi-dono!”

When leader Walls declared that, a cheer broke out from the spectators.

I shake hand with my opponent and we bowed to each other, then sheathed our swords.

It looks like his hand is hurt, so he is going for a mage to get healed.

Sadly, mage today aren’t big breasted golden haired Magic soldier-chan, but an old man with a nice beard.

“Wonderful sword handling, do you want to join knight……. No, would you like to be my family exclusive sword coach?”

The one who spoke that is Commander of the Crossroad’s knight order, Twanich. A real Viscount.

“I have to refuse. This was an honor but I like the freedom of being adventurer more. And I have no confidence in formal and manners.”(Taichi)

“Um, it’s very regrettable.”(Twanich)

I waved my hand and gave him wry smile, Commander Twanich is answering me with really regrettable tone.

A life with not much freedom is okay, but not a civil servant.

It’ll make me lose my sweet time in the morning too, guhehe.

“Ehh, and what reason do you calling me today?”(Taichi)

You want me here not just for sparring right?

“Un, I heard Walls talk about a promising adventurer, it was not a good reception but I want to see your skill with my own eye. And I also want to give you a medal for slaying the Trolls.”(Twanich)

The man who looks like a butler in the back is giving him the black tray.

“If I give you direct money it will be a problem with a system, so I’ll give you this”(Twanich)

Commander Twanich hands me a short sword on top of a tray.

I receive it with both of my hands.

The short sword I received is sheathed in the leather scabbard and it’s considered heavy.

“Can I take a look?”(Taichi)

Commander gave me a nod.

I ask him first to mind the manners, and then I unsheathed it.

Form the reflection of metal color on the blade make me understand that this one is finely crafted.

Pointy tip, the blade is thick and single-edged, and on the holder, there is something engraved.

Have I seen something like this before?

Ah, I remember, this is a knife for dismantling games from hunting.

“It doesn’t look too expensive, but it beautiful.”(Taichi)

When I use Appraisal eye on it, it shows “Hunter knife” directly.

Even without special effect, it considerably good sword.

I sheathed it back and attached it to the waist belt.

There is the restraint on a scabbard, so I don’t have to worry about it falling off.

“Look like it’s to your liking”(Twanich)

“Yes, thank you.”(Taichi)

I’m considering about buying a new short sword before, but with this, it’s all okay.

And it’s also a good sword, lucky.

“Well, how long will you stay in this town?”(Twanich)

“Let’s see……. I think it’ll be today or tomorrow but soon I’ll move out. And I still didn’t have any destination in mind.”(Taichi)

“Is that so, then before you leave you should report here about your destination first, because if it’s a big town, there will be army’s barrack. We can prepare some recommendation letter for you”(Twanich)

Commander offers his help in a straightforward manner.

I don’t know what can I get with a recommendation letter.

But he offers this with goodwill, so I’ll receive it.

“By the way, I heard Taichi-dono is also good at magic……….”(Twanich)

Sparring again!?

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Well, shooting magic at each other directly is too dangerous, so it became joint training with a magic soldier.

But about detailed theory, I know nothing about that.

“Welcome to the Crossroad’s magic soldier corp of Karendale kingdom.”

Commander Twanich brought me to the magic soldier corp garrison, which is not far from a knight’s training ground.

Looking closely, it looks like knight order or magic soldier corp is a subdivision of big corporate named Karendale kingdom’s army.

And those who gathered there is a magic soldier, Magic soldier-chan is there too.

I shook hand with everyone and introduce ourselves.

Magic soldier-chan name seem to be Linet.

“Before we train, you should tell me your excelled element”

“Excelled element?”(Taichi)

The one who asks me is an old man mage from the training ground before.

He seems to be the leader of this Crossroad’s magic soldier corp, his name is Mark-san.

When I use Appraisal on him, he is also the honorary baron.

“Hm? you don’t know your excelled element?”(Mark)

“Yeah, nope. I trained magic with my master, but he taught me only how to use, no theories.”(Taichi)

“I, I see. That is a very unique way of training.”(Mark)

His smile looks cramped when he heard me. Then he took out a gla.s.s...o...b..that is around palm size.

he took it out from thin air, He can use Treasure box?

“Hold this on for 30sec, and you will see what excelled element is, and your magic capacity too.”(Mark)

“Understood”(Taichi)

I took a gla.s.s...o...b..from him, but just around 10 minutes it started to get how and the light it let out, it’s so bright that its look really dangerous.

“Is, is this thing safe?”(Taichi)

“S, Strange? Did it broke?”(Mark)

While we talking it goes more brightly and it starts to tremble.

I’m now scared! And this is too hot, it burns!

**Pichi**

A crack appeared on the gla.s.s...o...b.. and the light faded.

It fell silent suddenly.

“It, It really broke now, sorry”(Taichi)

“A, Ah, no problem”(Mark)

Mark-san took a cracked orb from my hand.

And then turned back and give an order to the Linet-chan and co.

“There is a checker in the warehouse, bring it here, fast.”(Mark)

“U….Understood!”

Linet-chan and many others dash out inside.

And Mark-san is now grabbing my shoulder and not letting it go.

“……………………What?”(Taichi)

“Well, well, well……………… Why don’t you sit down and have a talk with me, Twanich-sama too.”(Mark)

His smile is pressuring me and he dragged me to the table, without listening to my consent.

Commander Twanich, his follower, and leader Walls is also making a serious face.

“You, Taichi-kun right? Where is your hometown?”(Mark)

“Ehhh—- On the countryside, the name is s.h.i.+kyuu. I believe you never heard of it.”(Taichi)

“So, s.h.i.+kyuu is it.”(Mark)

While we’re talking, magic soldiers that went inside brought some orb and something that looks like a stone tablet.

Mark-san ordered them to put it on the table, by using a stone tablet as a base for an orb and fasten it with wire.

Then he inserted something that looks like a gem into a tablet and wrote something down. Then the scribbles he wrote are glowing.

Orb is also letting out a light by itself.

“This is?”(Taichi)

“A tool called [Status Checker] it will show the magic capacity and ability point of a person in digits number, it also shows the skills of that person too. Regrettably, it not too spread out because it needs to use the expensive gem.”(Mark)

But, currently, in the capital, there is a research to reduce its cost.

Mark-san told me while completing his preparation.

“Now, Taichi-kun! Put your hand on the orb!”(Mark)

For truth, I have a bad feeling about this, but I can’t refuse.

I should be okay, I hope that my strange abilities will not show out.

Thinking like that, I place my hand on an orb. Then there is a light character appear in midair.

[Name] Taichi Mitsuba  [Age]19

[Level] 12

[Life force] 182   [Magic capacity] 503

[Power] 156  [Resistance] 161 [Agility] 141

[Dexterity] 117 [Magic power] 260

[Skill] Sword 4, Bare-handed 3, Polearms 4, Archery 1, Spell fist 2, Fire magic 3, Water magic 3, Wind magic 3, Earth magic 3, Non-elemental magic 3, Physical enhancement 1, Magic enhancement 1, Magic recovery 1, Negotiation 2, Cooking 1, Appraisal eye.

Uwa, my status is really showing.

So cool, this [Status Checker], Lv is shown as Level huh?

Doesn’t it show skill point?

But hey, what is with 19?  I’m already 29 years.

Because of “that” makes me juvenile? It might be possible because my belly is gone too.

“Well, this thing is wonderful.”(Taichi)

I spoke out and look around, but everybody just opening they mouth wide.

Huh, what does this mean?

“Level 12 and with those digits are weird enough………. But those tremendous Magic capacity and Magic power.”(Mark)

“Sword and Polearms is 4!?”(Walls)

Star with Mark-san and Walls, following with Lent-chan and other starting to talking to each other in surprise.

Now, I have really, very bad feeling.

“””Hero”””

“Nope, this is just a misunderstanding, really.”(Taichi)

Of course, instantly refuse.

Just a normal very strong adventurer is already fine, I don’t want any responsibilities of a Hero.

I’ll get tasked to defeat Demon king without a single coin as reward!?

Like in those game! Those famous game!

“Like I told you before I came from the countryside, lived with my master. Dad and mom are normal peoples without any shed of Hero bloodline in us. And foreaseonI lived alone with my master is my parent both died from illness, then he took me in.”(Taichi)

“Give up, with only this Level, you got this high digits, you can’t cover this. And also your origin is not involved in this”(Twanich)

Commander Twanich shook his head.

It looks wrong because of base status huh?

“Listen, normal people with every 1 Level, their base status will rise up only 1-3. Even if it varies by talents but these digits are totally out of the world. Is not possible if you’re not a Hero. Especially this high Magic power.”(Mark)

Mark-san is also chasing up.

Ugh, I can’t find any excuses.

“Okay……………I give up, and what do Heo need to do?”(Taichi)

“For a start, you have a lot of duties to do. First, you should report where you live, which country did you enlist, report to Adventurer guild, and to report to the country when there is a summons. In case of Hero is staying in the country that has a summon order, he needs to report in too.”(Twanich)

Commander Twanich answer my question.

First, is okay but second is fricking troublesome.

Moreover, what do I do if I’m on a quest, do I have to abandon it?

“Conversely, you’ll get help from the countries. You’ll get a pa.s.s that let you travel between any countries without a limit. If you face an inspection you can just pa.s.s through it, it’ll make your travel easier right? Another thing about the second condition, about summon, a country that request and country that you’re resting in need to provide you with full support on every aspect. Such as if you work as an adventurer you can’t possibly abandon a quest, so the country will take it over for you and finished that quest.”(Twanich)

I get it, seem like the limitation is lower than I thought.

“There are lots of details, but that is mainly all. In a country’s position that need the power of Hero, They will prepare a fitting reward for a Hero. And summon is mainly about the subjugation of monster that is hard to handle.”(Twanich)

“…………………….So, I’ll just be putting in as a force to eliminate monster they can’t handle huh?”(Taichi)

Commander Twanich’s eyebrow twitched when he heard my remark.

“Don’t worry so much, for me if I’m able to fight them, I want to do it for a country too.”(Taichi)

It’s the same common story for both worlds.

Hero’s end.

“You sure are careful, after this please go to the capital to receive an official approvement of being Hero.”(Twanich)

After he finished, he walks out with Walls and his follower, left me with magic soldiers corp.

“you’re the first Hero of Karendale kingdom in 50 years, things will get b.u.mpy, but do your best.”(Mark)

Mark-san is. .h.i.tting my shoulder lightly to thank me for my hard work.

Now I got a magic professional, I should ask him about magic.

Yeah, let’s ask him about some camping necessary magic.

“Well can you teach me more about magic? Even I learned 4 element and Non-elemental magic from my master, but others than that, I don’t know even name……………………”(Taichi)

I still have some complicated feeling.

Information is a weapon.

I need it as much as I can.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

-Hero-

You can call them mutants of the human tribe. They can be 1 in hundred thousands or even 1 in millions. Have a high growth of status more than normal human 2 to 6 times.

Many countries have signed treaties about 500 years ago, that they won’t treat Hero as a country property.

For them to be world’s power against, beings that endangered the human tribe.(Such as giant monster like the dragon.)

There is a story told that single experienced Hero can take down a dragon that needs army of thousand knights to take it down.

When Hero is moving according to treaties, they can have full support and protection from the country.

In the past there is a Devil-king who want to conquer the world, it’s also might be a Hero too.

Ch.9 When I went to the knight’s barrack, I was judged as a Hero(Real name)
