Chapter 5

Saikyou Juzoku Tensei Chapter 05: 6-yrs old (2)

I got my mother to teach me letters, so I can read and write a little .

No, although I was taught, I took a paper with letters and I just read it over several times .

After that I compared the letters with a book, I almost mastered letters by myself .

My mother taught me enthusiastically, but she thought that because I was 6-yrs old, the pace was slow and that was obvious .

To Maren tribe, it seems that recognition of degree was good enough to be able to memorize the character reading and writing by age of 10-yrs old .

I wondered they thought that it was still too early .

Even I said that I understood, she repeats the same place over and over again, and if I thought she progressed a little, again gone back and started over .

So from the first day onwards, "I wonder if it will be good for a while . . . " I pretent to be tired and escaped, I decided to learn without permission .

I sit on an otem in the garden and opened a book of magic .

It was intended for children, with plenty of pictures .

Even though I read this, I still do not understand the characters well yet, but I can make excuses that I just looking at the pictures .

My parents still do not know that I can read characters .

If they know that I self-taught and mastered after throwing letters into a mix what ever were taught . What my my mother may think about it?

Just before, my father said that I was not like a child . I had better keep it hidden .

Over time, I can insist that I remembered simple letters while reading a picture book .

"Nii-sama, can you read the letters?"

Giselle stretches her head from the side and looks into the book of magic .

"Oh, it's a secret to our father and mother . "

"Wow, it is amazing! Oh, I want you to read the story of the dwarf's forest!"

A dwarf's forest is about a collection of children's stories .

My mother often tells me to read before going to bed .

"I do not want to be seen where I am reading . . . Let our Mother read it, will not it good enough?"

"But, I . . . I want nii-sama to read it, is not it good . . . ?"

Will she not let go?

"Is not it good, I want to keep that I can read letters only between Giselle and me, a secret between only us two . "

"Only us 2 . . . is it?"

"Aa~, that's right, is not good?"

"Well, it's good! Okay, it is a secret between only us two, between nii-sama and I!"

Alright, she took it .

Giselle is also pleased and it was a perfect way to push it . No one will lose .

The primary reason why I wanted to learn a character is because I wanted to start full-scale training of magic .

Creating an Otem is the foundation of the foundation . I do not plan to neglect the basics, but it would be enough since I made that many .

My father will not teach me by saying it is still early, but I wanted to enter the next stage soon .

So I wanted to read books and gain simple magical knowledge .

According to the book, Shintaku-satsu(Oracle notes) and fortune-telling normally seems to be primitive magic .

Shintaku-satsu(Oracle notes) is like a Tarot card dedicated to the Maren tribe .

It is divided into a red and a black tag, each of which has thirteen pieces, and numbers from 1 to 13 are written . There are also colorless tags written as 0, so there are 27 in all .

Everything is painted with thieves, hunters, sorcerers . . . and a slightly stinky dubious pictures are drawn . By the way, if the color is different, the same picture is drawn if it is the same number tag .

Although it is close to tarot cards, it is more close to playing trump cards .

In fact, I played with Giselle an Old maid card game . (Babanuki: A game where you lose when the last card in your hand is a joker . Each turn you take a card from your opponents hand . If it matches with one of your card you through it down something like that . )

. . . Well, after that, my father found out and he got angry over it .

Apparently it seems that it was not a good thing to play them .

He should have overlooked that much if he said that I would play like a child .

I was forced to do that cuts the air into crosses and asks God for forgiveness .

If I try to bring out a Shintaku-satsu(Oracle notes), my father may get angry again .

Should I have Giselle to pick that up?

On the day, I took out Oracle notes to play the Babanuki, "Anyway, you were the one who should have suggested that!" Only I was scolded, by saying that .

And actually it was a he said, I am not against it, but my father will not get angry at Giselle . That's why I should rather have Giselle pick them up .

"Do you remember Giselle, the oracle notes?"

"Yes, I remember that Babanuki . . . "

In the Giselle's mind, they have completely turned to Babanuki .

Well, why not? I am not in a position I can correct .

Whatever it is, I wish that they would make it popular to the point to not to get angry even though the Oracle notes to Babanuki .

"Yes, those Babanuki, pick them up from the second floor, I will attract our mother on the first floor . "

"Yes, please leave it to me!"

Giselle does not hesitate and replies so .

Yeah, well done sister .

However, if I have to use those Shintaku-satsu(Oracle notes), I want to do it out of reach from my father .

By taking the permission of my mother, should I go to a little lonely place where a bit far from the village?
