"Dear Carlos, Happy New Year!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, it's really a great day for you, Ars. Your work has made our Fontana grow in the last year. I hope that you will continue to use your strength to the fullest for the sake of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you very much for your kind words. I will continue to do my best.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please take good care of him. So that's your brother right there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. This is my brother Kyle. Last year, we separated from the Barka family and took the name of the Reed family. It's a pleasure to meet you.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Carlos de Fontana. My name is Kyle Reed, brother of Mr. Ars von Barka. Please give me your regards.

"Carlos de Fontana. Kyle Reed. ....... I hear you have some kind of unusual magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. The magic of accurate reading, writing, and arithmetic.

"I see. Ars is a strange man, but his brother Kyle is also strange. May I see him later?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. But I may not be able to surprise Mr. Carlos as well as my brother."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha. You never know what he's going to do. He never ceases to surprise me with his sudden and outrageous behavior. You must be having a hard time too, my brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Yes, that's right.

　Hey, why are these two guys who just met for the first time suddenly hitting it off with each other and calling me names?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought to myself as I watched Carlos and Kyle's conversation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's snowing and winter is coming.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the year passed without incident.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so, for my second New Year's celebration, I was with Kyle in the city of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We went to the castle of Carlos and greeted him for the new year amidst the crowd of knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The difference from last year is that this time I brought Kyle with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had Kyle, who had developed a new magic, take the last name of Reed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this time, I had asked Carlos for permission to do so as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What kind of magic do you have and how do you use it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We had already discussed this before we built the Reed house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it was by letter and Kyle did not meet Carlos in person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I took advantage of the New Year celebration to introduce Kyle to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle is still very young, but not only did he introduce himself to Carlos, but they immediately became friends and laughed at each other based on the common denominator of "me".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle and I finished our greeting to the head of the Fontana family, with a feeling of uncertainty as to whether it was a good or a bad thing.

"It's been a long time, Mister Ars. It has been a long time, Mr. Ars. I would like to thank you once again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hello, Mr. Picha, it's been a long time. Carlos entrusted you with the defense of Fort Einrad. How have the Uruks been faring since then?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, the Uruks have suffered a great deal because of your success. It will take time for them to rebuild. Thanks to you, after the battle, we have been able to govern the surrounding area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. That's good. But I suppose Ayn Radd will be targeted again when the rebuilding is finished. Be careful, Mister Peacha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mm. Carlos-sama is well aware of this and has entrusted me with a large number of soldiers. I will do my best to live up to his expectations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's very encouraging. You have experienced many battles, have you not?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your praise gives me confidence. ...... By the way, that boy over there is your younger brother I've heard so much about. He really is just a child, isn't he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, this is my brother, Kyle Reed. I'd like to make your acquaintance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it's nice to meet you. But I hear you have an unusual magic. I hear it's a magic specialized for clerical work. It's not much use in warfare, but it might come in handy when ruling a territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. Yes, it has been very helpful. ...... Well, wouldn't you like to have some of Kyle's magic to help you run Ayn Radd?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hm?　What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I have just shown the magic of Kyle to Mr. Carlos and he seemed to like it very much. He said that he would like to use it in the Fontana family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Did you say you wanted to use it in the Fontana household?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I mean, I want to have something on hand that can use the Reed family's magic. That's why we decided to sell Kyle's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about?　What do you mean by selling magic?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In other words, Kyle will give the last name Reed to the person designated by Mr. Carlos. In return, he would receive a sum of money to give to the church and a sum commensurate with Reed's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Does that mean that you had your own vassal give you the surname Reed in order to use the magic of [speed reading] and [automatic arithmetic] and so on? And paid money to the Barca family."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It will be."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you market your own magic in that way, even though it is not an offensive type?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. We are a newly established small knighthood, so we have made such a foolish attempt. Carlos has also said that we can sell magic to other knights if they wish to do so. What do you think? I think it would be very efficient if at least one of you could use Kyle's magic, since you are in charge of Einrad, a strategic point of transportation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ummm. I can't answer on such short notice. But it is a tempting proposition. Will you give me some time to think about it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. Are you going to bring this up with the other knights?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's the plan, Mr. Peacha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. Well, I'll talk to some of the people I've been in contact with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was talking to Peacha, who I hadn't seen in a long time, and my cheeks were loose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After greeting Carlos, we moved to the banquet room and attended the party there as we did last year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One year ago, I attended this party, but I hardly talked to anyone and just observed the knights around me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this year was different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I knew some people there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Picha, who was working with me, was ordered by Carlos to guard Fort Einrad after the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seems that he is still participating in the New Year's celebrations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There we met for the first time in a long time and had a talk like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the things that came up during our conversation was that I would sell Kyle's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle would name the person whom the other person would designate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He would pay Barka for the magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle's magic is useful, but it can be a cat's ass for ordinary peasants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is really needed is for those who run the lands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's where I'm going to sell Kyle's magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least one of them can be an accurate calculator.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carlos bought Kyle's magic so that he could cast it on more than one person, as it would be useful in the management of his domain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He spread the word to other knights through Picha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was also a good thing that Carlos was the first one to be told about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sold the magic to Carlos at a reasonably high price because I could not sell it at a lower price than when I sold it to Carlos, and it sold well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, if the people who received Kyle's magic work hard, there might be more people who want to buy magic from him next year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I made a fortune in the new year.
