Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 44

Chapter 44
“I’m sorry for always barging in, both parents and children . ”
“Hmmm, you’ve always entered without my permission, but today you’re being very discreet . ”
The Chief said so, but fidgeted .
It’s obvious he’s restless . This person is the same as ever… . .
”I’d like to go into the library… I’m going to stay for a little bit longer . Is it okay?
The library in the Chief’s house were quite useful for my magical research .
It’s honestly a shame to think that I won’t be able to use this place for a while .
If possible, I’d like to borrow a few books that I’ve been wondering about .
However, I have no idea when I will be able to return it .
“…the books in here are very valuable . ”
“Then, I can’t…”
“That’s why you definitely have to give it back . ”
”Ah, then it’s okay……… . ”
Thank you for letting me pass through .
“Speaking of which… Is Firo out at the moment?”
I look around the room .
Normally, she would have come to see how things were going no matter how many times I was kicked out by the Chief .
Today would be the last time, so I wanted to at least see her face .
”Hmmm…Firo is a little depressed right now . Maybe we should leave her alone…”
Then I heard the sound of someone rushing down the stairs in a hurry .
Then the footsteps suddenly and unnaturally slowed and stopped .
I turn my attention to the door of the room where I hear footsteps .
The door opened suddenly and Firo is there .
“… I thought I heard someone, so It’s you Abel”
Huh, he exhales and cranes his neck lazily .
His long white hair swayed about her movements .
Certainly, she doesn’t look like she’s in a good mood .
“What, is something wrong?”
“…… Nothing, there’s nothing wrong . I’m the same as always . ”
Is what she says, but she’s clearly not as usual .
It’s obvious she’s not well, and her eyes are a little intense than usual .
I’m a little worried .
Plus, there’s a point I’m a little curious .
“Why are you running down the stairs with speed like you’re falling down but in the hallway, you’re walking slowly……”
“As if that’s the case! Wha-, what are talking about?! It’s not like I was looking forward to meeting you or anything! I just slipped a little and couldn’t stop halfway through!”
Thank god, she’s the same as usual .
“…… now that I remember, uh, um… They say the ceremony is in three days . ”
“… I guess . ”
I can’t help but parrot it like it’s someone else .
“Hmph, you’re so impatient! I can see them happily rushing to get ready, as usual! It’s like when you’re focused on one thing, it’s all you can think about! Geez, why don’t you take a moment to think about the feelings of those around you who are forced to go to great pains to fit your schedule!”
I’m sorry, I’m sorry .
It was mostly my father’s fault .
No, I know it’s because of my lack of trustfulness .
“And besides… . besides…it’s lonely to be told so suddenly… It’s not like you think of your sister that way, Shibi said……”
Philo says in a hushed, muffled voice .
I knew that Firo had more or less an interest in me .
Maybe the reason she was in a bad mood was that she had heard about the marriage .
“Firo…”
“I don’t know what to say to her . ”
I can’t let it slip that I’m running away at night .
I don’t plan to have a ceremony, but I don’t plan to come back to the village for a while either .
I reflexively swapped my gaze to the chief to request for help .
The Chief’s figure in nowhere to be found .
I looked around the room and saw the Chief gently leaving the room .
When our eyes met, the Chief awkwardly looked away and closed the door behind him .
He’s running away .
No, I know it’s awkward, but…
And don’t run away like that to the two young people! There’s not much I could say in my position!
“…I’m complaining a lot . I’m a real jerk for bringing down the heat before the celebration . Maybe I’ve been a little crazy lately . There’s so much more that needs to be said . ”
She sobbed and wiped the tears with her sleeve .
As expected, It wasn’t a situation that I could make fun of her crying like usual .
“… . Abel, congratulations on your marriage . ”
Firo said, laughing awkwardly .
Then she covered her face with her hands and ran quickly out of the room .
…I, I feel a lot of guilt .
I’m planning to run away at night but .
It’s getting harder and harder to escape .
I don’t know what Gizel and Firo will look like tomorrow when they find out I ran away .
If you leave something behind and come back to get it, you may be beaten to death with a sack .
I go into the library, piling up books on bio-magic and alchemy .
I’d like to make golems, chimeras, magic items, and homunculus when I go to the city, because there are many things I couldn’t get in the village .
I hate myself for thinking that way even though I’m driven by guilt .
It seemed to be hard to carry, so I looked at this and that and compared it and sorted it .
If I don’t have enough, I can just go to town and buy more .
I don’t know the city’s currency, but a load of incense leaf should do the trick .
Since I couldn’t carry it, I decided to borrow the Chief’s Outem again and carry it home .
On the way home, I spotted Noswell in the distance .
He carries a bow on his back and walks with two of his followers .
Apparently, he was on his way back from the forest .
After the Incense Leaf War, Noswell came to me alone .
But apparently, he was not abandoned by his followers . I’m a little relieved .
Well, that’s certainly true .
Even if they hadn’t abandoned them, the two followers would have refused my offer to go to my place at that time .
Our eyes met, and I waved at them .
Two of his followers waved back at him, but Noswell ran to the woods as he screams .
The shorter of his henchmen followed, and Noppo watched with a mixture of yawning .
… Am I ghost or something .
I carry the book home and drive it home .
After enjoying one last family happy hour, I went to sleep .
I sneak up in the middle of the night .
I felt a gaze, so I looked at Gizel, but she was sleeping soundly . It’s okay .
Even if they do notice, I’ll tell them I’m going to the bathroom .
You can’t even make excuses if you’re too timid .
I take out the preparations that I put in the warehouse and load them onto the Ortem Trolley .
Incense smoke with dried meat, bread, Abel drinks, bio-magic and alchemy books .
Then there’s an ore that must be rare outside, the Marrenstone .
I put my the Ortem I made that I’m confident about and Gizel first Ortem into the trolley .
I don’t need the water because I can use magic .
It’s too heavy and unbalanced, so I thought about reducing it a bit more, but they’re all too good to be true .
It’s okay . As long as there is no accident, there is no problem .
There is no need to rush on the road . I just need to drive slowly and safely .
When I actually got on it and used the magic to move it, I felt somewhat uncomfortable .
It’s weird, was it such a flow of magic .
However, there is no way to take it apart and examine it again now .
Well, it’s going to be okay .
