Bocchi Tenseiki Chapter 1

another name for this chapter is [Tutorial Part I]

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

when I noticed, dazzling light come to my dark world.

No, isn't that because my eyes weakened?

“Second son was also born, with this Hawkwood house is secured.”

I could heard a man voices with age between 30~40 years old.

“Dear, please give this child a name. ”

this time, it was the voice of a woman likely in her twenties.

“This child, has dark black hair with tinge of gray, his pupil is brown ”

“Hmm …… ash, black, brown ……”

“N, No, there is no wa…….alright, that child name is Ash ”

such conversation between a man and a woman could be heard.

“so it's Ash. Well, I think it's not bad name ”

I was embraced by someone arms.

“your name is Ash. My lovely boy.”

whispering voice of a woman could be heard near my ears.

I think, don't tell me…………did I reincarnated as a baby?

—-That, can't be real.

Three years elapsed.

Fortunately, though this is considerably rural town, my parents is noble who managed this town.

Therefore I don't have any worry about my daily life.

From the conversation between my family member, I also know that magic exists in this world.

I lived in a place with only a little more than a hundred population, this town is extremely far away from capital therefore, it seems only both my parents can use magic.

I'm looking forward to it.

Then, recently, I'm starting to see strange things sometimes.

when I'm looking at the hole, a semi-transparent womans.

when I'm looking at the lake, semi-transparent womans playing in the water.
when I'm looking at the fire in the hearth, semi-transparent womans dancing inside the flames.

But, maybe it was something that visible only to my eyes.

furthermore, that womans, all of them is naked.

their average height is between thiry to fifty centimeters.

some of them is beauties with more than 8 heads, in doll size of course.

I'm trying to talk with my parents about this matter.

my usual gentle parents, their expressions suddenly become very serious,

“Okay, Ash. Don't tell anyone about this except for your family. You must absolutely do this. ”
“Ash, if this spirits trying to talk to you, you must absolutely not to talkback to them. Just pretend that you never heard them ”

And, their tone is seriously scary.

this time, I know that the semi-transparent womans that I saw with my eyes are acually spirits.

No, rather than a promise, they made me vowed to them.

my body age is indeed tht of 3 years-old-kid, but my mental age is that of adult, so this kind of thing is less effective and can't even considered as a threat for me.
but, the fact that I can see the spirit, in this world, or at least in this country isn't something very good. at least that what I feel from my parents attitude.

Ten years have passed since I reincarnated.

the chance for me to see the spirits increasing along with my age.

up till now, I've never speak to them even once.

actually I want to talk to them, but I'm hestitating since I already promising my parents.

However, I give my gratitude to my parents who raise me with love.

However, I also could feel that my parents affection to me thinned along the time.

it's because I don't have talent for magic.

I can't understand magic theory and practice it.

let alone me and older brother, even compared to my younger brother, and three younger sister, my talent in magic can't beat them.
it seems in Runreshia Kingdom, someone with magical power is greatly valued.

Anyway for the commoner to become a noble, it's look like they only need magical talent.

even if i make an effort, it's useless because my magic is little to none. [TL : need someone to fix this [　努力しても、魔力自体が少ないのでどうしようもなかった。]]

and, the amount of magical power for each person is absolute since he born, it seems there is no way to increase it.

without talent to use magic, my prospect isn't be very good in the future.

anyway, in the first place big nobles will distributing their plot of land to their childrens, for small to medium nobles their second and third son will become priest, they have no thing to spare except for the eldest son.

if for example they're especially talented in magic, or has other special talent lie that, they will become adopted child of big nobles in the territory, and has possibility to succeding their properties.

Well, it was fine to become a dependent* while looking at my surrounding, I guess it was fine to eat from the hand of my older brother. [TL : an adult who has yet to get his inheritance, but I choose to write it as dependent]

like child of peasant, they sold to the slave trader is already everyday occurence in this world.

However, I only feel it was strange for parents to sell their child and for child to sell their parents, maybe they feel guilty.

I don't even playing with the childrens from the same age, so I don't have any close friend.

but it's look ike this case is beyond that, I clearly avoided something that will resulting me to socializing with others.

I'm aware that all residents already know about this.

right now I'm not bullied yet but, they treat me like I'm a freak.

Usually my siblings looking down at me because I'm not talented, I was alone all this time.

recently, my parents expectation from me isn't that high, so there is many cases where I has lot of free time.
learning magic too, because of my other siblings, both my parents only give me a task, so my self-study time is increasing.

today too, I'm walking around inside the forest.

for The time being, I bring a wooden sword for self-defense.

but, it's look like I also don't have that much talent for swordmanship.

I already walked quite deep in the forest.

when I'm turning around…….there is a bear.

no, no way, this forest not supposed to have bears live in it.

Anyway, I must not escape.

pretending to be dead is no good, I've seen in the net before I reincarnated that doing that act in front of hungry bear is suicide.

But — that bear coming to attack me at breakneck speed!

However, I don't feel like to running away.

Fortunately, always alone and didn't have any friends, I always playing tree before the bear could catch me, I somehow already ascended to the top of the tree.

But it's seems that bear is very hungry, there is no indication that he will leave.

then I suddenly turned pale because I remember that some kinds of bear species is adept at tree climbing.

dangerous … it's Really dangerous.

above the branches, I'm trembling all over holding my head.

looking at me, they raise their finger while laughing at me.

to this man, who is almost get himself biten and eaten by a bear.

sensing the death approaching me, I lost my cool.

I forget the fow to my parents,

“what so amusing?!! I'm gonna pluck that wings of yours!!”

And, I unentionally shouting out my anger.

while I'm looking at those spirits.

and, they're whispering something in low voices, and look like agreed on something.

And,

“Ne~e, ne~e, you, can you see us? Despite only a human ”

what!, hearing that I tilting my head.

“yeah, I can see you!”

I desperately answer her.

“He~~~e, even hear our voices. You really can see us, are you an expert Druid or a Shaman ”

Druid?

Ah!, my parent said that they're heretic magician.

"I will never learning forbidden arts. Just for you know I'm learning Magic Letter (Rune ) and True magic ”
“””” Eeeeee~~~~~~eeeeeeeeh!!!?????’ “‘”‘ ”

those spirits simultanously screaming.
What?

“this, this human, with more training he will become spirit tamer for us, and he said he can hear us!”

“…… we have no choice than recognize your natural talent.”

“if you continue to raising your skill then, you will become the Great legendary class spirit tamer!”
“and Here, he will become a food for that bear, his talent is wasted!”
