Before I knew it, I was sleeping in a bed somewhere indoors. It was the kind of situation that made me want to say "an unfamiliar ceiling..." but unfortunately... well, nothing was particularly wrong, but anyway, I recognized the ceiling. It was the ceiling of the Anciness family's mansion. I slowly raised my body. "~~~...!!" Every joint in my body ached terribly. It was a pain like being scraped with sandpaper. At the same time, I saw in my field of vision my own state, which made me…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"Uwaaaaaaah?! What, what is it?!" "The rock, the rock is split...?!" As expected, the children were in a state of panic. Well, it was no wonder—their missing friend had suddenly appeared, and just when they wondered what would happen, the giant rock behind them was destroyed. ...That was close, really close. If I'd been one second late, it wouldn't have been the rock that was split in two but everyone here. The boys, Eleanore, everyone... Thinking about it made my spine…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
- "Uwaaaaaaah?!" The moment I realized it was a slash meant to cut me down, I twisted my body and leaped back. It could be called a reflex at this point—I instinctively judged that getting hit would be bad. And that judgment seemed to be correct. The black shadow that was released passed through where I had been standing, then sliced through the trees behind me as if meeting no resistance at all. A gust of wind assaulted me belatedly. Branches and leaves were blown wildly about, rustling…

- After that, we didn't encounter any monsters at all along the way. It might be because we took a relatively open and safe path, but even so, I hardly sensed any presences. Did the guards exterminate them all? I did tell them to at least leave some small fry monsters, keeping in mind the purpose of the trial ceremony. Well, I suppose I should think of it as not having to waste stamina or nerves unnecessarily. So that's how we proceeded without any obstacles and reached the Sacred Rock, the…

- We were making steady progress deeper into the forest. Our destination was the Sacred Rock, as it was called—a large boulder located at what was considered the deepest part of this forest. The condition for clearing this trial was to reach that point and bring back a fragment. It wasn't particularly difficult. The atmosphere might be somewhat intimidating, but this forest didn't have very strong monsters. Even children could defeat them if they tried hard enough. Well, of course, if you…

- An event where boys and girls who have turned 10 years old go to forests, caves, and other places designated near their residential area—places commonly called dungeons—to test their skills and courage. That is what the Trial Ceremony is. In this world, 10 years old is an age where, while not yet an adult, it's inappropriate to treat them as a child, and they receive treatment as if they're half-adult. Accordingly, from this age many children need to learn martial arts and magic and do things…

- Three times the moon had waxed and waned since that night of the birthday party. The hectic days had ended, and peaceful days had returned once again. However, my heart had been terribly disturbed since that day. The cause of it all was the truth I had learned that night. In less than 5 years, I will die. Moreover, 5 years is merely the time until the main story begins, and there's a high possibility I'll die before that... probably 3 or 4 years from now. So whether I die tomorrow or…

- For a while, we enjoyed conversation and sweets. Well, it was the night after a big party ended, so there were plenty of things to talk about. Combined with the confections made by a first-class patissier, it was truly an enjoyable time. "Shall I prepare some tea as well?" As the arranged plates began to empty, Eleanore said that, though it seemed a bit late. She extended her white, delicate hand toward the cupboard. It was certainly not a distance where her hand could reach by…

- As night deepened, the lights in the mansion gradually began to go out. I took a short nap... or rather, I dozed off, and thanks to that, my head felt refreshed. Perhaps because of that, my vision was somewhat clearer too. My eyelids weren't naturally drooping either. Having finished cleaning up and completing my reports, I walked alone down this now pitch-black corridor. Combined with it being a Western-style mansion, it felt somewhat like a haunted spot from my previous life. I wouldn't be…

- After that, when we returned to the mansion... or rather, what greeted me were enthusiastic offers from the nobles. Apparently, word had spread that there was a child servant who was friendly with Eleanore, calmly pacified the aggressive Razer, and dealt with being attacked and punched with composure! They seemed to have come to get in early, thinking he might become a notable figure someday. One or two would have been manageable, but when more than ten people came at me, I was honestly…
