But because he is of the blood of the
One day, he said to me,
"I'm going to leave this village.

That was all he said, and he ran away from the village where he was born and raised.
Many years have passed since then.

Ten years later, he found himself in the Shoro Kingdom.
The place is the town of Ismar, so he probably came via Mitsuho, but he did not speak of it without saying so.

No, he claimed himself to have come from Mitskho. No one knows whether this is true or not except Golbert himself.
And Golbert has a day job in the town of Ismar. He needs money to eat.

"You're good at that," he says.
The job was to collect wormwood in the Hariri Desert.
This is used to make the grass cakes that Jin Nido, the second generation of magecraft masters who once visited the region, had passed down to him.

These grass cakes have now become a specialty of Ismar, and are even feasted upon by the nobility of the capital city of Leusart.
However, it is not easy for an amateur to distinguish the wormwood, or to pick the ones that are too hard and not suitable for eating.
In comparison, Golbert collected a large amount of wormwood suitable for making grass cakes.

However, the work was also for pay, and would be finished in two days.
"Well, what are we going to do? ......"

The money earned in two days was 2,000 TL, or about 20,000 Japanese yen.
This is a lot of money for a day job, but it is still not enough to make a living.
In the end, Golbert Markitas decided to leave the town of Ismar and set out for the capital, Leusat.

He did not go to the capital all at once, but while earning money in the towns along the way.
With his knowledge, he had no difficulty in earning money no matter where he went.

Among other things, repairing broken magic tools was especially good money. In ...... the frontier.
In the frontier towns there are often no technicians, so those who can repair magic tools like this are very valuable.

Step by step Golbert Markitas, earning his daily bread in this way, was getting closer and closer to the capital city of Leusert.
Each time he was reminded of something.

It's too late to regret it now.

After several decades of traveling around the world in search of knowledge, Markitas came back to the Shoro Empire.
Everywhere he went in the Kingdom of Shoro, the name of

This alone shows that Jin Nido was an extraordinary being.

I have passed the exam, which was dozens of times more competitive than the rest, and I have been accepted into the Academy.

"Yes, Rubeus?"
Rubeus is my roommate in the dormitory.
"Is today's lecture over?"

I didn't take the fifth period. Me neither. Well, why don't you go to the free lecture?

Rubeus and Marcitas managed to get into a corner seat and were now waiting for the bell to ring.
When the time came, a woman with a kindly ...... appearance, or worse, an unreliable appearance, appeared.
That was the first thing she said. For some reason, her voice sounded to my ears like my late mother's. My mother's voice was Alto, Marina.
My mother's voice was an alto and Marikka's was a mezzo-soprano, even though they were completely different in voice quality.

I was listening intently to her voice, which was so pleasant to my ears.

In a way, it was a shock.
About half of what Marikka was going to say in her lecture...... or, to be honest, more than half of it I didn't understand.
No wonder, it seems that this

That means they know more than I do now.
That means I was a "frog in the well" as the saying goes.
What shocked me more was that I wanted to see Marikka-sama again.
