Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 198

 

132. You Come Back Later

 

We were heading toward the capital.

 

The journey back was smooth.

 

Nothing particular happened, and there were no major problems.

 

We didn’t stop by Count Gappar’s castle since we were in a hurry on the way there, and we were minimizing staying anywhere as much as possible.

 

Our goal was to make the medicine first.

 

More precisely, to ‘combine’ it.

 

“I made arrangements in advance, so we can meet right away when we get to the capital. The production won’t take very long either.”

 

Delward was quite excited.

 

Since he could finally treat Mother’s illness, it was natural if you think about it.

 

“Once that’s completed… my dream will really come true.”

 

I carefully asked the excited Delward.

 

“About this person you’re meeting, what kind of person are they?”

 

“Ah, the alchemist? Someone I’ve known for a long time. We’re quite close too.”

 

An alchemist.

 

I was curious.

 

Whether they could properly handle this ‘Roksinna’s Tear’ that only appears in books.

 

Of course, unconditional suspicion is bad. It’s almost the only method we have.

 

“But was this person the one who told you that Roksinna’s Tear was there?”

 

“That’s right. They said it existed in some ruins somewhere in the Habarosk Mountain Range.”

 

From what I found out, Roksinna’s Tear only has its effects passed down like a legend.

 

I learned where and how it exists through Delward.

 

More precisely, through the information Delward found out.

 

So I’m curious.

 

How did that alchemist know about this?

 

“They’re quite an amazing alchemist. To find out such things.”

 

“I suppose so. Their skills are good too.”

 

“Are they from the Imperial Palace?”

 

“No. They’re from Drenik. This is a secret.”

 

From Drenik.

 

I should at least be cautious.

 

We went through so much to get these materials, and while I don’t worry about them ruining it since their skills are supposedly good, I should at least worry about them running off with it.

 

“Since they’re from where they’re from, they can’t register officially and are kind of a back-alley practitioner, but their skills are definitely solid. When I was in Drenik, I often heard that person’s name. They have good skills, but fell out of favor after refusing a commission from the Drenik Imperial Palace.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Then that makes sense.

 

Of course, I don’t completely trust them yet, but at least my doubts about their background have been resolved.

 

I’ll just go and observe for now.

 

If worst comes to worst… I’ll retrieve it and find another method.

 

Anyway, we continued to hurry our steps.

 

Fortunately, there were no particular variables on the way.

 

About the only thing was Chiron being bored to death trying to match our galloping speed?

 

“Puhihing.”

 

This fellow could originally run off alone and create endless distance if he put his mind to it.

 

Let’s run later when we get the chance, you rascal.

 

“Kee-reuk!”

 

And Karnas had left my embrace and was flying beside us.

 

“Oh, you’re flying for quite a while?”

 

“That one’s grown a lot too. At first, it could barely stay airborne.”

 

Of course, it’s not yet at the level of keeping up with the speed of galloping horses, just flying leisurely?

 

Still, it’s remarkable progress.

 

“But how on earth did you get that fellow?”

 

“From a familiar’s egg.”

 

“…Really?”

 

Delward’s jaw dropped.

 

But he immediately understood.

 

“Right. Your Little Sister was a summoner, wasn’t she?”

 

“Yes. I received it as a gift on my 7th birthday.”

 

“…I haven’t properly done anything for Leila.”

 

“You can start doing things from now on.”

 

“I should. Definitely.”

 

Delward seemed to make a proper resolution this time.

 

I hope that resolution comes true.

 

And so-

 

“It’s the capital!”

 

“We’ve arrived!”

 

We cheered at the view of the capital visible in the distance.

 

And when we finally entered the capital, without anyone going first, we got off our horses and savored the joy.

 

I’m happy too.

 

Honestly, isn’t that natural?

 

It’s my first vacation since entering the Academy, and I went to the Northern Region and then to the Habarosk Mountain Range.

 

Both were extreme places that wouldn’t be out of place being called demon realms.

 

But we all achieved our goals and returned alive without injury.

 

That alone is an incredible feat, and it became an opportunity for everyone to grow.

 

Of course, the joyful cheering didn’t last long.

 

“Let’s hurry. We need to resolve this matter before we can rest properly.”

 

“You’re absolutely right, Teacher Priscilla.”

 

“Let’s hurry and finish the combination so we can see the Duchess regain her health!”

 

Because it’s not perfectly finished yet.

 

“Children.”

 

Perhaps finding this sight quite cute and admirable, Delward chuckled while slightly turning his head away.

 

Leila was obviously holding back tears, needless to say.

 

Anyone would feel that way.

 

“Thank you all… I’ll definitely repay you.”

 

“What repayment between friends!”

 

“That’s right, Teacher Leila.”

 

“Dorian, you’d seem more like a friend if you dropped that ‘teacher’ thing.”

 

“Teacher Priscilla, calling a benefactor ‘teacher’ is only natural.”

 

So we immediately went to find the alchemist Delward knew.

 

The alchemist was surprisingly, quite surprisingly, not hiding in some secret place.

 

Rather, they had boldly set up a shop.

 

However, disguised as a general store.

 

“A general store. That’s plausible. Good for selling alchemy-related materials on the side too.”

 

Delward agreed with my words.

 

“According to them, thievery is what they learned. But since alchemy specialty shops are only possible for officially registered alchemists or related professionals, they set up something roughly similar.”

 

“So it’s a cover identity then?”

 

“Well, something like that? But seeing how they’re getting by reasonably well, they seem to have adapted.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

If they’re operating a reasonably decent-sized general store in the heart of the capital, they seem to have gained some trust.

 

An alchemist from Drenik.

 

This is getting interesting.

 

“Let’s go in.”

 

Clang.

 

As we entered, countless items came into view.

 

From daily necessities to small beads, accessories, salted meat – truly a continuous array of items befitting a ‘general goods’ store.

 

There were even weapons. Though they were only small daggers and hand axes.

 

“Wooooah…”

 

And Ernest’s eyes, who couldn’t resist anything related to adventure, went wild.

 

That was understandable, since it was full of items that would be useful for expeditions.

 

“There are many items that could be used for alchemy too?”

 

Perhaps because it was set up by someone with an alchemist background, several items seemed suitable for alchemy.

 

Of course, since he lacked official certification, it seemed he hadn’t brought in highly specialized items.

 

It’s not just a disguise – there seems to be a purpose to the business too?

 

It certainly appeared to be a quite carefully arranged shop.

 

“Hmm, a familiar guest.”

 

A voice was heard at that moment.

 

When I turned my head, a man with a slender build was looking at us while tilting his head.

 

“I don’t think you mentioned having this many friends. You don’t look like you’d have many friends either.”

 

That person is exactly that…

 

“Haha. I made some friends in the meantime. I got some besides you.”

 

“That’s welcome news to hear, Delward. I thought I was your only friend.”

 

“Paracelsus, I don’t want to hear that from you.”

 

“Ha, says the one who dragged me here from Drenik when I didn’t want to come.”

 

So he’s an alchemist from Drenik.

 

Seeing how fluent his Alteon is, he seems to have stayed for at least a few years.

 

Delward turned to look at me and grinned.

 

“How about it, not like those Drenik bumpkins, right?”

 

He either put tremendous effort into correcting his accent, or had a natural talent for languages.

 

Maybe both.

 

“What the hell. You crazy bastard. Don’t tell me you told them everything?”

 

“Well, it just happened. But don’t worry… Hey, hey! Don’t throw that!”

 

Truly an alchemist.

 

To suddenly grab and try to throw a flask.

 

“If we get caught doing this!”

 

“Ah, it’s fine, I tell you. Come on, calm down your excitement. Listen to me. This is my little brother, and these are all my little brother’s friends!”

 

“So what am I supposed to do about that!”

 

After that, words that only Delward and I could understand unfolded.

 

Simply put, it meant he spoke in Drenik.

 

To be precise, it was a combination of profanities commonly used in Drenik.

 

“Whew, that’s fierce. That’s cursing, right?”

 

“I barely know Drenik but it seems right.”

 

Anyway, after that barrage of profanity passed, Paracelsus, who had been fuming, let out a sigh.

 

“Damn bastard. At this rate, even street kids will know everything later!”

 

“Do, don’t worry, I said? And if it weren’t for these friends, I couldn’t have obtained the ‘Tears of Roksinna’!”

 

“…What?”

 

“The Tears of Roksinna, if it weren’t for these friends…”

 

“Not that, you really obtained it?”

 

Paracelsus looked back and forth between Delward and us with eyes that couldn’t believe it at all.

 

“That’s impossible… You really got that?”

 

“What, was it something that couldn’t be obtained?”

 

“Generally speaking, yes! I only said it because your will was so remarkable, but where is that something anyone has ever seen?”

 

Well, of course.

 

We only obtained it after finding ruins in that deadly mountain range and facing demons.

 

“Damn, there was a Drenik idiom for times like this. I’m too surprised to even remember it.”

 

I pondered for a moment before speaking.

 

“It feels like someone kicked my butt, doesn’t it?”

 

At my words, Paracelsus nodded.

 

“Right, that was it. Now I remember. You look quite young, did you major in Drenik or something?”

 

As if that were possible.

 

So I gave a different answer.

 

“Drenik has very many interesting idioms.”

 

In considerably, very, extremely fluent Drenik.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Suddenly, gazes focused from all directions.

 

Why are they all like this.

 

It’s not like this is the first or second time.

 

“…Can you speak Drenik?”

 

“To some extent.”

 

“It doesn’t seem like that level.”

 

And when Paracelsus asked in Drenik, I naturally answered in Drenik as well.

 

Paracelsus let out a hollow laugh and this time asked Delward in Alteon.

 

“Isn’t he also something like me?”

 

“Hey, if you say that anywhere, you’ll die without anyone knowing.”

 

“What bullshit?”

 

“He’s a Sogress. Dane Sogress. Does it make sense to ask if a son of Count Sogress is from Drenik?”

 

“…”

 

Paracelsus’s dazed expression was priceless.

 

“Another noble family’s young master has entered our shop…”

 

My friends’ reactions were similar.

 

“Dane, you can speak Drenik too? When did you learn it?”

 

“Wow, now it’s even languages…”

 

“It’s Dane. Just understand.”

 

“That’s right. Since it’s Teacher Dane, we should understand.”

 

Paracelsus seemed curious and quietly observed me before throwing several questions in Drenik.

 

“Where did you learn Drenik?”

 

“By myself.”

 

It’s true.

 

I naturally learned it while growing up on the battlefield.

 

“Several accents are mixed together…”

 

“I ended up referencing various people’s speech patterns.”

 

It’s not like only people from one region are on the battlefield.

 

People flock from all over Drenik, so it’s natural.

 

I also deliberately mixed various accents naturally.

 

Of course, given my origins, it would be impossible to predict where I’m from, but just in case.

 

“…Come by again later. It won’t be boring when you visit.”

 

“I will.”

 

Just then, Delward stepped in to organize the situation.

 

“Alright. Let’s have the Drenik language lesson a bit later, we have important business, don’t we?”

 

He’s right.

 

I have more important matters to attend to.

 

I took out Roxinna’s Tears from my chest.
