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 .You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    “ 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 .
