“Wow, they’re a wizard?!‼️”
“Yikes, run awayyyy‼️”
“Ahhh‼️”
『Pop《Plasma Shooter》Output Front!!!』
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Using a plasma shooter for personal combat isn’t exactly ethical…
As the name suggests, it’s a magic that attacks with superheated plasma.
Yeah, it’s weird.
Because, logically, if it’s plasma, wouldn’t it release energy into the air? That’s what you’d naturally think.
I thought so too.
But this magic isn’t about releasing plasma gas, it’s about ‘filling a designated airspace with plasma’.
So, when you use it, it looks like ‘a beam of light about thirty meters long coming from the direction Ada pointed’.
But in reality, it’s like ‘plasma about ten centimeters in radius and ten meters long generated from the fingertips’.
Oops, I have to fight too.
Huh? Feel guilty about killing people?
Nah.
I used to carry a gun for self-defense in America, and I’ve even fired back at shooters in self-defense.
What’s wrong with killing someone who came to kill you?
So, let’s clean up, clean up.
『Pop《Fire Arrow》Output Front』
Using fire arrows to turn the thieves into human torches.
“They… they’re too strong!”
“Ahhh!”
“Help meee!”
Yes, cleaning up, cleaning up.
Nooooo.
I did it, you know?
I did it.
I crushed the thieves.
But it’s such a hassle!
I might still be underestimating the value of being a wizard.
First, my parents.
Before taking care of me, who committed murder, they praised me.
Well, that’s fine, right? In this medieval world, the cheapness of life is ingrained.
But still… they hardly ever praise me, but the moment they find out I’m a wizard, they shower me with compliments. Isn’t that weird?
My mom’s fine.
She’s modest and doesn’t assert herself.
She’s probably been brought up that way. It’s probably because she’s been raised in a society where men are superior and women shouldn’t be pushy.
For me, sometimes, being disliked for doing something good for someone else is what makes a true good person.
Actually, my mom seems to understand the situation in this territory.
…But she doesn’t say anything.
Maybe she’s more cowardly than she’s been brought up to be.
Well, so my mom doesn’t matter.
She just praised me normally.
But what annoys me is this damn father of mine.
This guy who’s been stealing my time all this time!
Well, I know, he thinks he’s doing it for my own good!
But meddling that doesn’t benefit the person concerned is tantamount to harassment, isn’t it?
So, this father of mine.
He hardly ever praises me.
Even though I’ve been a good kid for my age, and my Siblings too, he doesn’t praise us.
He seems to think it’s good to be tough, but from the perspective of human resource development, it’s practically crap.
But this time, out of nowhere, he started saying stuff like, “You’re my pride!” It’s creepy, to be honest.
And furthermore, he doesn’t seem to like that I’m meeting Ada, always saying stuff like, “I’ll find you a better wife,” but…
Now he’s suddenly turned around and ordered me to marry Ada.
Seriously, what a jerk.
Well, as a nobleman, he hasn’t done anything wrong.
Well, isn’t that right? Nobles follow the teachings of the country’s religion, ‘Holy Teachings’, as a rule, and those teachings include things like “be humble” and “be modest”.
So, following that, it’s manners not to excessively praise family members.
And it’s natural for parents to choose their children’s marriage partners, and noble marriages are often for forming networks of blood relations.
And since wizards inherit their abilities, actively incorporating them into the family is a common value.
Furthermore, it’s natural for parents to decide on their children’s marriage partners.
Even though they’re rotten, they’re still nobles, so noble marriages are natural, and… for nobles like us who lack power, it’s not strange to incorporate powerful individuals from among the commoners into the family.
…Oh, by the way, farmers do the same thing. Farmers often send their daughters to powerful families like human offerings.
Marriage is about connecting families. It’s not an exaggeration to say that love doesn’t exist in this world.
Well, because love doesn’t exist, it’s revered as fiction.
It makes sense that romance novels are a big hit among noblewomen, right? After all, most of them are married off to men they don’t even like because of family circumstances. It’s natural for them to long for romance.
So… yeah.
My father’s way of thinking isn’t wrong in this world.
But I don’t like it.
There’s a question of degree when it comes to “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” right?
So if you were reborn into a world where it’s normal for a gay old man to dig into your butt every day, would you spread your butt cheeks wide open? That’s what I want to ask.
It’s not about how the world is, it’s about my values saying that this father is trash and I want to abandon him.
And the people in the village are terrible too.
Even though they usually looked down on me as the lord’s brat from elsewhere, the moment they found out I’m a wizard, they turned on me.
It’s annoying.
Of course, Ada is suffering from that too.
Ada, who is usually seen as a bakery brat and one of the lord’s lackeys, has been looked down upon quite a bit.
And since she’s always been rumored to be a weirdo and a roughneck hanging around me, she’s been subjected to quite a bit of discriminatory stares.
Her parents were crying, worried that she wouldn’t have a place to go.
But how is it now?
All the unmarried men in the village are proposing to her.
Even though it’s normal for farmers to marry young, girls usually get married around twelve or thirteen.
But all the unmarried men in the village are apparently pressing eight-year-old Ada to marry them.
Even that brat from the village chief I beat up before, I don’t know what nerve he’s got, but he seems to be proposing to Ada.
In short, it’s like winning a big lottery jackpot.
It really makes you sick, doesn’t it?
