The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 4

My head wasn't too high yet, so I scoured the house while being careful not to fall. The corridor is made of marble, but not cold because of the expensive red carpet. I am also grateful that the season is spring. Even though it was a noble house, it would probably feel cold in winter.

Unlike Japanese houses, aristocratic houses have a similar scene that goes on constantly, despite being inside the house. There were ten or twenty doors of the same shape and color lined up in a row, and I was sure I would soon get lost in my own house.

My room was on the first floor, with the morning sun shining, on the far left when viewed from the north. From here, there were about a dozen rooms to the right, then I arrived at an area like a lobby. At the top of the lobby is a magnificent staircase that you often see in Western movies, leading to the second floor, with a large door in between, with a large door in between, and on the other hand there is a dining room and a hall where small parties can be held.

The ladder is still dangerous, I can't go upstairs. So I just continued the exploration on the first floor.

After passing through the lobby, I arrived at a row of rooms on the right side of the building, each about the size of a primary school classroom. At the very front was a small dining room, where our family used to eat. This room was only used by our family, and the servants used the waiter's dining room in the servant's hall. It seems that the well-being of our family is perfect.

Next to the dining room is the living room. I don't usually have access to this room. I heard my father used this room often to talk to messengers from the imperial capital, merchants, and nobles from other regions, but I was not ready. Anyway, I'm only two years old.

Next to the room was a guest room. It seems that the guests are staying in the room here. I've never been in this room either.

Next is the bathroom. Wow the hot springs in this house. Well, if I say a hot spring, it's not a natural hot spring, it's just water boiled with a magic tool. However, I really liked it because it had a stylish public bath atmosphere from my previous life. Ever since I was a kid, I used to take a bath with my family, and have learned to enjoy it, soaking in hot water like Edo's parents. Seeing my sister watering me with hot water.

Besides, it was time to go to the next room. Starting from here, I entered a zone I didn't know about. Since all the rooms necessary for everyday life were in this area, I didn't have much chance to enter more than this point. It would be nice if there was a hidden room that led to the basement, like in the noble house. I paced the dimly lit corridor, thinking about it.

"Master Hal?"

"Ohhhhh!"

I'm shivering. Even though it was my own home, I did not know it well, and the lighting was dim. It was a pretty dark place, and felt a bit creepy when he heard the call suddenly coming. I was only two years old and probably would have died of a heart attack.

"What's wrong? What ......, is that you? Don't scare me.”

"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to scare you.”

"Oh, all right, it's okay."

This servant ....., or maid, her name is Alisa. When I scream "shock!" in my room to test the effects of [Shock], he was the one who was actually secretly cleaning this room

There are many servants in this mansion. They are divided into different parts of this spacious house and yard. Among them, Alisa was included in the duties of butler and servant. In short, she is our family nanny. And Alisa is my personal servant, who takes care of me and the whole family.

What are you doing here, Mr Hal?

“I want to read a book."

“There is a study room, on the second floor.”

"Thul? Each rung is too big for a two-year-old.”

"Master should not ride alone because it is dangerous.I will make special efforts to help master to the upper floors this time."

"Thank you."

"No, it's okay”

Alisa was holding me, I felt happy as I was being hugged by her large chest. This is the privilege of being a child. Gosh darn.

We climbed the stairs and after going through about three rooms, I found a room that was quite spacious and beautiful.

'Wow."

Indeed, his study room was large enough for such a room. The library is as big as an elementary school library. As Arisa hugged me, I stared at the pile of books, which seemed to number in the tens of thousands, and asked her;

“Do we have a book about magic?

“Magic? Sure, we have it."

I-i understand. In this world, magic is called witchcraft. Even in fantasy manga, whether it's magic or witchcraft depends on the world in which you reincarnate. You can't tell which one is more common until you reincarnate.

With me in her arms, Arisa walked to the shelf located across the window. He showed me a bookshelf with several books as thick as a dictionary. This whole shelf is dedicated to magic. Which book do you want to read first?

"First one. Let's start with the basics."

Alisa then picked up a book called “The Complete Book of Magic, for Beginner Edition”. The book was licked with delicate skin, giving him an impression of dignity.

He put me on the desk and chair provided in the study, I took the book from him, and opened it. The next moment, I was shocked and froze.

“I cannot read ............................”.

Exactly right. Anyway, I'm two years old. Of course, my parents and tutor didn't teach me to read. It's normal to learn things like that when you're a little older.

“Alisa, please read”

ALisa sat on the chair next to me, peered to the side and started reading out loud.

"There are five miracles that the great Lord has given us. The first is reason. The second is words. The third is a good hand. The fourth is fire. The fifth is magic. Learning and practicing magic means thanking and honoring the gods.

Suddenly, I heard an incredible sentence. It is very similar to the Western medieval religion.

“After the great God created the world, he sent his own son to earth and entrusted him with the power of the world. That child was the first Emperor of the Empire. All those who learn magic from now on must remember that according to the will of God we learn magic and serve the Emperor."

This is the first thing you learn in any school, book, or institute while studying magic. Magic is a great power, and it would be a serious problem if used against the state based on a wrong idea. It is said that the purpose of this lesson is to teach that with strength comes responsibility, as well as loyalty to the empire. But is it still a little difficult to understand by a Hal master?

Perhaps this is similar to that close relationship or the religious and moral education that exists on Earth. In fact, it might be exactly the same. Churches and monasteries provide moral education to the community in the form of the teachings of God and Buddha. A force that protects the church to protect the teachings that are comfortable for the state. In this way, the sacred and the secular have kept a balance in holding and holding relationships. It will be no different in this world. In fact, religious education may be more important in this world than on Earth due to the presence of more mysterious magical powers.

"Do you understand what I just explained?"

“Yes, read on."

"Yes…. In addition to non-attribute magic that does not involve attribute changes in magic, there are four attributes called the four basic attributes of fire, water, wind, and earth that require attribute changes. Everyone possessed one of these four attributes, despite the difference in his strength. Four attributes were assessed during the ceremony of the seven crowns in the temple. It is common to know, but not always so for those who can check their own status. Well, for ordinary people, the seven crowns ceremony is a ceremony to celebrate successful growth on the seventh anniversary. Then, at the earliest, it seems that a priest was summoned to that house and judged at the age of four or five. By the way, I have the fire attribute. I can use magic, but what? mr Hal-? What the hell's going on? ”

That's a lie ...., not …….

I was shocked again and froze.

"Everyone, with varying degrees of strength, possesses one of these four attributes?"

The magic attribute displayed in my status is non-attribute:-
