Let me get this straight.
　My reincarnation spell worked.

　And it's exactly 1000 years from now.

"Okay, ......!

　I felt a pang of pride inside when I realized that. I'm still a baby.

"Oh, ......!　I'm finally a father.
"Look at you, Dad!　Kurt, you look like an angel!

　My parents picked me up and rubbed their cheeks against mine.

　Well, ...... I was born into this world as the eldest son of a leprachta family.
　My father's name was Alois. My mother's name was Emilia.

　And I was given the name Kurt ...... Kurt Leprechaun.

　My family is not particularly wealthy or poor. It's a middle-class family.
　I was twelve years old, with a lot of love from Alois and Emilia, who were a little bit of parental fools.

　Up to this point, my life had not been particularly problematic.
　But it seems that it was the world that was the problem.


"What's wrong with this world ......?


　Putting down the book I was reading, I was astonished.

　Twelve years so far.

　Could it be?
　Is something wrong?
　I've lived my whole life wondering if there's something wrong, but it seems I'm right.


　This world is worse off than it was a thousand years ago when I lived here.


　Especially in magic.
　A thousand years ago. I brought about a revolution in magic and all mankind benefited from it.
　But a thousand years later, it seems that magic is regarded as something that only a few people with talent can use.

　This is surprising.
　Before the magic revolution, magic was something that even ordinary children could use.
　In other words, magic has become a part of our daily lives.

　However, in the world 1000 years later, almost no one uses magic.
　On the contrary, we don't see any magic tools that had been so developed.

"What has happened in the last 1000 years, ......?

　I wonder what kind of magic technology will be developed in 1000 years.
　What kind of useful magic tools will be used in the city?
　I was really excited about this, but now I'm disappointed.

　...... But I guess it's too early to tell.
　After all, the village I was born in seems to be quite rural.
　Maybe it's just in this small village.

　It means that ...... has been left behind by magical civilization.
　Looking at the current situation, it's hard to imagine.

Bye, Mom. I'm going to go play again today.
Dad replies while reading the newspaper.

　Dad answers while reading the newspaper.

"Kurt. I've told you many times before, don't go to the nearby forest.　There are demons living there.
I know. I know.

　I waved to my worried mother and left the house.
　The place I'm going is, of course, the nearby forest where the demons live.



　It's a short walk from the village.

　My father and mother ...... and the people of the village told me not to go to the nearby forest.
　However, the only thing I can do in this empty countryside is to enjoy what is called "demon hunting".
　If I don't cast a spell on a demon once in a while, my body will get tired.

There are no demons to entertain me, though.

　As I was walking through the forest, a wolf-shaped demon called Wolf appeared from ahead.
　I was able to find it easily today. Good luck.

"Let's go to .......

　As soon as the wolf saw me, it turned its fangs and attacked me.
　It took him about two seconds to get to me. .......
　In my previous life, I usually fought within 0.001 seconds, so it was too slow for me to sneeze.

　I decided to slowly build a magic formula.
　By pouring magic power into the completed formula, the magic would be activated.
　With Wolf still far in front of me, a flame in the shape of a spear appears in front of me.
　It is a low level magic called Fire Spear.

　This should be enough for him.
　The flaming spear went straight ahead and pierced the wolf.

"Kyaun!

　With a surprisingly cute cry, the wolf that the spear had pierced fell to the ground.

In the past, most of the demons ran away as soon as they saw me, so this kind of person is very valuable.

　I was about to approach the fallen Wolf.
　A dozen or so wolves appeared around me.

"You mean your buddy got killed and you came to check on him ......?

　Of course, I had allowed them to get this close on purpose.


　I'd already figured out that there were a dozen or so wolves approaching using detection magic.

Come on, come on. It's good exercise.
"Whoo-ooh!

　The wolves howled and attacked all at once.
　And not five seconds into the battle, a dozen wolves rolled over.

"Well. You've regained a lot of strength.

　He opened his fist to check the degree of acclimatization of his magic.

　I'm still a long way from my prime in my previous life.
　But I know I'm getting closer.

Well, let's keep hunting some more.



　After about an hour of hunting, I returned home.

"I'm home.
Welcome home. Hey, Kurt!　I was so worried about you!

　Mom hugged me as soon as we got home.
　I've only been gone a short while. .......

You worry too much, Mom.
But, but!　Kurt-chan is ......

　She stares at me with tears in her eyes.

Yeah, Kurt. If you meet a wolf in the woods, you're in trouble. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　...... I've killed over thirty wolves since then.

"Don't worry, Dad. If a demon appears, I'll use ...... magic to defeat it.
"Hahaha, that's reassuring. Well, I'm sure you have some talent, but ...... magic is a very funny joke.

　It's not a joke. I've just defeated a demon.

　By the way, I don't tell my parents that I can do magic.
　I didn't want to make a fuss about it.

Because you're a defective magician. Just don't get all worked up about magic.
Yes, Kurt. I'm not sure about your mother, but ...... you see, defective magic is not the most suitable for magic, right?　I'm not sure what to do.

　Yes, this common knowledge of "faulty magic power" was the most surprising thing.

　There are different kinds of magic, and they are colored.
　It was the same a thousand years ago.

　But ...... defective magic?
　What are you talking about?

　In this life, I have found the most suitable magic color for magic - golden.
