Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!

"(Is my son finally getting married ...? Because there were various circumstances ...")

The day after my father reported that my eldest brother Kurt, now 26 years old, would finally get married, I was always in the woods with my brother Erich for hunting and gathering.

The reason is that within a few days, the bride will arrive at the Baumeister Knights and the wedding will take place.

Although it is a little, it is a noble wedding.

Furthermore, when it comes to a ceremonial occasion in a remote rural village where there is nothing like this, folks who are usually hungry for entertainment want to celebrate with them.

Actually, I think that my goal is to serve food and drinks for weddings that all the Baumeister family bears.

Well, aside from such real intentions and the story of the birth, this would be an enormous amount of food and drink that would be eaten and consumed by a face that would appear at a marriage party that could be hundreds of people.

However, if you are a man who governs the land, and if you click on that part, you will have a problem.

If the nobles in the territory are perceived by the sovereigns as having a stingy or poor smell, it will later become a source of great persecution.

No matter how you usually surpass it with black bread and ultra-thin vegetable soup, you have to prepare alcohol and treats that you can't eat or drink.

For the dowry to pay to the bride's parents 'house, even if the costumes and accessories etc. are prepared by the bride's parents' house, the husband's costumes etc. must also be newly made, and the feasts and sake issues at the party we talked about now is there.

In addition to being poor in nature, reckless troops to the Demon Forest have caused insignificant human, material and financial losses.

While rebuilding the system within the territory, it is a reserve that can perform a ceremony to find the elder brother Kurt's wife who is a tracer.

Normally, even men are usually married by the age of twenty, but why was Kurt alone until he was twenty-five?

There was a severe reality that could not be told without tears.

"(It's good that Kurt gets married)"

To be honest, this territory has only a cold village in the countryside.

I'm an eight-year-old, so I can't inherit it, but I didn't want to.

Live as an adventurer quickly and independently.

Because this was my dream.

"(But it's too early to drive out the other brothers?)

After the wedding, the common sense of the world is that long-awaited older brothers will leave their homes independently.

As a custom of nobles, it seems common sense to give the boys after the second son who go out without succeeding the house or territory the wages and meaning that do not succeed the territory.

The market is not a big deal, but we have a lot of brothers and they are poor, so it seems that it took time to prepare.

This time, except the second son Hermann and me who is only seven years old, three people from the third to the fifth leave the house and become independent.

Herman appears to be marrying to a relative's servant's house a few months later, in preparation for the sudden death of Kurt, who is not yet married.

By the way, the house of the vassals is the home of his father's uncle, who seems to be the person who led our knight troops of Baumeister in dispatching to the former Demon Forest.

Naturally he was killed at the time, and his father's cousin, his son, was also killed.

In addition, the misfortunes of the remaining male heirs have been compounded, and it seems that a grand uncle's granddaughter is barely maintaining his home.

Hermann marries his granddaughter and takes over the house.

Somehow, it's like a ○ HK drama.

The scale is so small as to be sad.

Let's go back, why the policies of the Baumeister family have been decided in various ways and we should be busy preparing for the wedding, but why I and Erich are in the woods.

It's easy to imagine, but in short, it was an order from my father to get the ingredients for the dishes to be served at the wedding.

In addition, I end up partnering with Erich for some reason.

A companion who was attached for some reason, but did not want to show magic in public.

And that partner, Erich, the one I talk to most, is mean.

Because I'm the best friend, I can't be insane, but if I don't use magic, there is a possibility that my 7-year-old harvest would be completely nil.

I'm thinking about what to do, and Erich talks to me.

"Don't be shy and use magic."

"Uh……"

Suddenly, I was vocalized by Erich's remarks saying "you can use magic", but in fact, I myself could say that I could use my magic secretly to others did not think.

Thinking normally, a seven-year-old child alone has gone into a forest with wolves and bears, and has achieved the results of hunting and gathering, which is a poor adult face.

Some magics are used by people who are usually weak to strengthen their muscles and speed, and these magics were more or less popular, though to varying degrees.

One of the reasons I wasn't worried about entering the forest alone was to imagine, at least, that the use of magic was condoned or that a mouth-closing order was set up among the family. It was.

"Vell is so clever that he cannot be seven years old."

On the day I was reincarnated as Wadelyn, the eighth son of the Baumeister family, in a dream, I came to know him before the age of six.

Before I was reincarnated, Wendelin did not show any magical talents, but he seemed to be a person who always read his books in his father's study and did not act appropriate for his age.

That point seems to have many things in common with me now.

"Yes, my father, my mother, my Kurt brothers. The whole family knew, except for Vell. We know that Vell has magical talent."

I had that feeling somehow, but then one question came up.

Why don't you use my magic more to develop your territory?

Then, Erich seemed to notice my question and answered me immediately.

"If Vell was young and showed his magical talents to the folk, this would be the beginning of a house turmoil."

Inheritance of the house including the noble in this world is basically given to the eldest son.

In addition to this, when it comes to royalties and nobles, the status of the wife who gave birth to the child is important.

The children of the father's concubine, Leila, the daughter of a non-noble master, have essentially no inheritance rights.

If there was, it was when his wife did not have a boy.

If the wife's child is only a girl, the judgment depends on the nobleman.

The case where the eldest son takes the son-in-law and succeeds, and the case where the eldest son born by the concubine is succeeded.

In short, there is a custom that the wife's child is given priority and the eldest son is given priority, but in the end, the decision of the father, the head, was given top priority.

Due to this, a house riot often occurred and both sides suffered a bruise, the royal family was unable to manage the turmoil on their own, and their territory was reduced as a punishment, and even the nobles who were even treated as amendments It seems that homes always occur once every few years.

"Vell, you want to leave the house like me?"

"Yes, young people want to build themselves as adventurers."

"That's fine. My father knows it."

"Is that so"

"I can't read kanji, but for the moment I'm a noble family."

My father imagined that if I exercised magic for the people of the territory, the vassal and the folks would irresponsibly say, `` Wendelin, who can use magic, is the main owner of the Baumeister family, Is it appropriate? ], And seems to think that it would be unbearable if a strange faction was made.

"Even so, the failure of troops five years ago is pulling the string."

Because of this, not only the land reclamation to expand the farmland, but also the usual farm work, etc., lacks human resources and struggles with the process.

Temporarily raising taxes a little under the guise of recovering the damage, which has been a source of dissatisfaction among the folks.

Above all, no one has died from the Baumeister family in the troops.

It seems that there was an extra part of the people who had distrust of the fact that none of them had sailed.

"In fact, the great uncle in the branch and his three sons were killed in the war."

Because of that, only the daughter of the eldest son who died in the war remains in the house of the great uncle, and she will soon be able to take her second son to her son-in-law and take over the house.

Now, if you say that your uncle's family members are not dissatisfied, you will be lying.

"So don't openly advertise the magic of Vell."

There is no doubt that there will be people who make a noise that I am appropriate for the next head of the Baumeister family.

"Some of you may have noticed it, but there's no evidence unless Vell does magic in front of everyone."

"I see, it's the conscience of the forest for that."

"If you're a fifteen-year-old adult, don't hesitate to leave home."

"I personally want to leave home sooner."

I learned from Erich that there was a bud of a house turmoil, albeit a small one, and seriously wanted to grow up and leave this territory soon.
