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 .

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

“ 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 .
