Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 7

3. Seventh Birthday (3)

19 years old.

16 years old.

You couldn’t say these were particularly old ages.

However, Big Sister Arabella and Little Sister Claire were probably the most famous 19-year-old and 16-year-old in this Empire, or perhaps even on this entire continent.

She opened a teleport gate at the age of 19.

Even though she had gathered mana for almost a year to travel such a long distance, teleport gate was originally magic that could only be used at 5-Chain or higher.

A so-called magic genius.

The most promising talent at Imperial Alteon Academy.

That was my Big Sister Arabella.

Similarly, Little Sister who could already handle a wyvern at the age of 16.

A wyvern was a difficult summon that intermediate-level summoners could barely summon even with all their might.

I had seen summoners collapse from exhaustion immediately after summoning on the battlefield countless times.

But Little Sister not only summoned one, she maintained that summon and flew here from that distant Academy riding the wyvern.

Similarly…

She was a genius receiving the most attention at the Academy alongside Big Sister.

“Miss Arabella already opening teleport gates, and Miss Claire flying here on a wyvern…”

“Haha, just how many gods have blessed this generation of the Sogress Family?”

Envious gazes were abundant from anyone who looked.

My story was included here too.

“Do you remember Young Master Dane’s first birthday? All the artifacts that the family members placed reacted back then!”

“Perhaps Young Master Dane might be the one with the greatest talent.”

As my mana core activated, every single word people were whispering got drilled into my ears.

I tried to control it, but it wasn’t easy with this young child’s body.

Not that it was unpleasant to hear though.

I could also hear Father sniffling.

“I raised my daughters and they only send a single letter for their father’s birthday, but for their little brother’s birthday they bring teleport gates and wyverns…”

Of course, even while saying such things, he was smiling brightly, clearly very happy that Big Sister and Little Sister had appeared in the territory.

“Big Sister, Little Sister.”

I called out to my sisters.

But I immediately stepped back.

They were each holding something in their hands and charging toward me.

Their eyes were sparking with fire, and the mage’s mana and summoner’s mana were actually clashing, creating real sparks.

As if each was saying “me first.”

“Dane!”

“Dane!”

And without any clear winner, they arrived and held out their gifts to me.

Their eyes were still blazing with fire.

I knew well how to calm my sisters down.

“Thank you, Sisters. For coming all this way to celebrate my birthday.”

When I accepted both gifts simultaneously, smiles spread across my sisters’ faces.

“Happy birthday! Dane!”

“Happy birthday, truly. Dane.”

“I’m sincere too!”

By my previous life’s standards, these two were still children, but in this body they were sisters who showered me with nothing but endless and infinite love.

“Hurry up and open them!”

Just how many gifts was I going to receive today?

I returned to the platform at the end of the banquet hall with my sisters.

Too much attention had been focused on us.

I opened Big Sister’s gift first.

Inside was a ring.

“A subspace pouch! I designed it myself! Of course, since spatial magic is highest-tier chain magic, our Professor personally imbued it!”

Thanks to Big Sister’s lectures I’d been hearing since I was a baby, I knew well how difficult it was to imbue objects with magic, especially spatial magic.

But what was even more difficult was designing artifacts to match the magic that would be imbued.

And to think she designed it considering that someone other than herself would imbue it…

“Try it once, Dane. By the way, it’s an item with your genetic code applied, so it’s something only our Dane can use. It’s the only one of its kind in the world!”

I tried putting on the ring.

It fit perfectly. It was even pretty.

Considering even the aesthetic aspect, the silver ring had a blue gem embedded in it.

From the subtle waves I could feel, it was definitely a top-grade mana stone.

As soon as I channeled mana into it, something amazing happened.

The empty space in front of my left hand wearing the ring split open, creating a gap big enough for a hand to enter.

“How is it, Dane? The era of pouch-type subspace pouches is over!”

Subspace pouches were literally pouches.

That’s why they were called pouches.

They looked like regular pouches, but when you channeled mana into them, the allocated subspace would activate and connect to the pouch’s opening.

“Just channel mana into the ring and the subspace opens right up! Just stick your hand in and take things out! Now you don’t need to bother taking out a pouch and opening its entrance.”

Big Sister had every right to look proud and satisfied.

It was an incredibly innovative item.

To think Sister designed this.

“Sister, thank you so much… But can I really keep this?”

“If not you, Dane, who else would I give it to? By the way, I worked incredibly hard making it! So you have to treasure it, okay?”

I nodded.

It was an absolutely perfect gift.

A subspace pouch.

In my previous life, I had only seen a few noble commanders or wealthy people like mages use them a few times, but I had never actually used one myself.

To think I would get to use this.

“Oh! By the way, the ring grows along with your growth! It’ll get a bit thinner, but it should be enough until our youngest is fully grown. Actually, I wish our Dane would stay a little kid forever…”

Big Sister had been particularly fond of me since I was a baby.

“But our Dane can’t use it yet, so later when you create a mana core or mana circle and can handle mana…”

While Sister was speaking, I was already channeling mana into the ring.

“…you’ll be able to use it, is what I was going to say…”

Zing.

The ring vibrated briefly and the subspace opened.

“…our youngest is indeed a genius, isn’t he?”

Sister immediately smiled brightly, as if she had expected this.

“Yeah. I created a mana core.”

“Faster than me!”

Big Sister was startled but lowered her voice so others wouldn’t hear.

“As expected, our youngest is amazing! It’s a shame it’s not a mana circle but… so what? Our youngest is a genius! Maybe you’ll end up having both a core and circle simultaneously!”

I just smiled.

As I expressed my gratitude once more, I heard Little Sister’s anxious voice.

“Dane… what about mine?”

I checked Little Sister’s expression and almost burst out laughing.

Was Little Sister thinking that her gift would be overshadowed by Big Sister’s amazing present?

“Open mine too.”

“Okay.”

I quickly unwrapped Little Sister’s gift as well.

For a moment I felt Big Sister’s sharp gaze, but I pretended not to notice and examined the gift.

It was a glass case.

Inside was a single egg.

“It’s not a chicken egg!”

Little Sister quickly added, perhaps startled by my expression as I hadn’t yet formed a reaction.

Really, who would think someone would give a chicken egg as a birthday present?

I examined the egg.

It had a golden shell with red spots scattered here and there.

It was an egg I’d never seen before in my life.

It would be absurd, but if this really were a chicken egg, it would be an incredibly expensive one, right?

Then suddenly I realized that Little Sister was a summoner.

“Little Sister, is this perhaps…?”

“A Familiar.”

My eyes widened at the word “Familiar” that came like a whisper.

“I don’t know what kind of Familiar it will become, but… it was incredibly hard to obtain.”

“Sister…”

“B-but it wasn’t that incredibly difficult, so you don’t need to worry too much!”

Following Big Sister, Little Sister had also given me an amazing gift.

Little Sister carefully continued speaking, worried someone might overhear.

“One day I was trying a magic formula to summon Dekaron… and this came out instead.”

A Familiar.

Simply put, it’s a summoner’s ‘mistake.’

And a very, very rare mistake at that.

Summoned creatures are connected through something called a ‘code’ via a complex process that only summoners can understand, and very occasionally an ‘error’ occurs in that process.

For instance, instead of the intended summon target, a different being with a similar code gets summoned.

This case could be called an ‘egg.’

And this egg is extremely rare and something that collectors, nobles, and even the Imperial Family would drool over.

Because somehow, even when the summoning time ends, it remains permanently in this world.

Simply put, you can permanently command an otherworldly summoned creature without needing complex summoning arts.

In other words, even non-summoners can handle summoned creatures.

In that sense, Little Sister had just given me something incredible.

“Nobody else knows yet. Only you know, Dane. So keep it secret until it hatches, okay?”

“Yeah. Then.”

I quickly covered the glass case with the wrapping and smiled brightly.

“Thank you, Sister.”

Little Sister finally smiled slyly too.

“I don’t know how long it will take to hatch. But you need to infuse it with mana every morning and evening to make it recognize you as its master in advance, okay? Until you get a response!”

Until I get a response.

I don’t know how long it will take, but I must make it hatch.

“Yeah! I will. But Little Sister, isn’t this too precious? I’m really grateful, but it seems like it would be more useful to you.”

I was sincere.

I was thankful for the gift, but this was truly a precious item.

Especially from Sister’s perspective as a summoner, this would be something difficult to see even once in a lifetime.

However, Little Sister firmly shook her head.

“It’s meaningless unless you receive it.”

And Little Sister looked at Big Sister with a proud expression as if she had won.

Big Sister pretended not to notice, but her hands were trembling.

“So underhanded…”

Ah, I should quickly wrap this up before the sisters start fighting.

“Thank you so much, both of you.”

I could only feel relieved after seeing both sister-complex siblings smiling again.

But what about that wyvern and the Teleport Gate?

“Kyaaaak!”

“Hey hey! You idiot! You can’t go in there! It’s a gate we don’t know where it connects to! Someone stop that thing!”

Little Sister finally ran off to dismiss the wyvern summon, and Big Sister quickly waved her hand to block access to the gate.

“It’s nice that your sisters came, isn’t it?”

Mother, who had approached at some point, patted my head.

“Yes, Mother. I’m so happy.”

“Mommy is so happy too. Daddy is happy as well.”

All the family members had gathered.

The banquet was just beginning now.

“Our young ladies, you said you couldn’t come, but while I’m glad you’re here, shouldn’t you greet Daddy and Mommy too?”

Father looked quite hurt.

Big Sister and Little Sister were startled and clung to Father.

“Oh, Father! Have you been well?”

“Father!”

I burst into laughter seeing Father’s expression soften at my sisters’ belated greetings.

In the midst of all this, I suddenly made eye contact with Leila.

She had a very envious expression.

It didn’t seem to be just because I had received gifts.

A strange loneliness.

I could feel it in her eyes.
