–Jack-of-all-Trades
It is a disappointing skill that my boyfriend, Lars, has and was called a failure skill.
It seems that Lars’ skill is “Super Jack-of-all-Trades,” but I can’t see the “Super” on the plate. But I don’t think Lars would lie about it, and I don’t think there’s anything to worry about it, because Lars is Lars, whether it’s Super Jack-of-all-Trades or Jack-of-all-Trades.
In the opposite sense, it’s recognized as a rare skill, but the Lars I’m with has tremendous ability and learns quickly.
When Retzel mentioned that the prince of this country had such a skill that could not be called very rare, Geiri silently moved only his eyebrows.
“It’s an old story. It’s an old story, one that I’ve only heard from my grandfather.”
“I’m sure you have. He was the eldest of three brothers and he succeeded to the throne.”
“What about it? The eldest son succeeds to the throne in every country. The third son is out of the question, and the second son is not skilled enough to rule the country.”
Hmph, Geiri said. It’s a common practice for the eldest son to take over the family. And the Lars family will be taken over by Dedite-kun. However, with Lars’ abilities, it is highly possible that he would have done well even if he had taken over the family.
“Lars has the same …… No, it’s a little different, but he has a skill called [Jack-of-all-Trades]. But we’ve been together for six years, and it’s not a failure skill ……”
“Kuku …… Yes, you’re right, Lars-kun is brilliant. I think he could probably be the king of some country too.”
“What!?”
Retzel-san said something that surprised me, and I raised my voice. This time, Basleigh-sensei narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth.
“…… Who are you? I’ve known Lars-kun for a fair amount of time, along with Makina-chan, but I’ve never seen anyone like you before?”
“Now, now, let me tell you more. So, where was I? Oh, yes, I said that the second son had a Jack-of-all-Trades. Actually, that man was also very talented, just like Lars-kun, but he was banished for a certain reason.”
“A certain reason ……?”
Afmand-sama murmured, and Retzel-san nodded silently and continued.
“Yes, a reason. He had a dream. He proposed the abolition of slavery, the cultivation of devastated lands, and the construction of waterways, one after another.”
“That’s amazing …… If it had come true, there would have been no one like me ……”
When Ornob-san, who was carrying Dasha-chan on his back, muttered something like that, Geiri became enraged, pointing his sword at him.
“So what’s the matter with that!! There’s no way someone with a failure skill can do that!”
“No, he could. That’s why he was banished. He was left with nothing, blinded and alone in the wilderness. “
“What!?”
We were both astonished.
A person who is struggling to make things better is banished!? What the hell are you thinking!?
“You …… how do you–“
“How do I know about it? Well, hidden things will come out one day, that’s how it is. So, the Eldest son took over the country, and just as slavery was about to disappear, the second son was banished. And a bloody battle ensued with the slaves who rebelled against him.”
“That’s not what they taught us in class ……”
“Of course, it was a one-sided slaughter by the royals, so it was easy to hide.”
A chuckle escaped Retzel-san’s lips as Geiri switched swords and walked slowly towards him.
“You’ve done your research, haven’t you? But it’s already over. What’s the point of talking about it now? You will die here, and I will rule this country again.”
“Yes, I suppose it is indeed over. But it’s not over yet in his mind, you know. I came to this land looking for Lars-kun, but I had another purpose in mind.”
“…… I never heard of such a thing, Doctor.”
The woman standing next to me asked with a sharp mouth. Doctor ……? Come to think of it, I feel like that man seems familiar ……? As I look at the woman, Retzel-san pulls his hand out of his pocket and says to Geiri, not with a laugh, but in a serious tone of voice.
“Geiri, I knew you were still alive. Now we can finally avenge his death.”
“What ……?”
“I’ll give you back the ‘Wise Man’s Soul’ he accidentally created, okay? It’s what keeps him alive, the eldest son, King Geiri.”
“……!?”
This is the first time that Geiri’s expression changed to astonishment. At the same time, he slashes at Retzel-san!
“He’s fast! With that huge body, he was able to cover the distance in one swoop ……! !”
“It doesn’t work!”
“Retzel-san! Master, let’s go!”
“Umu!”
My level of magic isn’t good enough for you, huh ……! I couldn’t just stand by and watch him get closer and closer to Retzel, so he started running the moment I released Lightning. Then, Darva gave the order.
“A-Alright! Follow Geiri-sama! Whoever takes Afmand’s head will be given a fiefdom and gold!”
“W-What do we do ……?”
“I, I’m out! I don’t want a king with unknown characteristics, you know!? …… Gyaaaaaah!?”
A soldier escapes from Darva’s side, only to be slashed in the back by the shockwave and falls down. Geiri shouts as he heads towards Retzel-san.
“Then die! Man in white, where did you hear about me! No, it doesn’t matter, because I’m going to kill all of you who know about the Wise Man’s Soul, including the woman!”
“It won’t be that easy!”
“I’ll join you, he’s my prey, after all. There’s a reason why you were so easy to catch two years ago, isn’t there?”
“I don’t care!”
The three of us, Me, Master, and Retzel-san, began a fierce battle with Geiri. So, Basleigh-sensei and Ornob-san follow to protect Afmand-sama.
◆ ◇ ◆
“Now, with Makina-chan and Fath-san here, we’ll be able to take care of that. That doctor and his assistant look like they’re not easy people either. I think it would be best if King Afmand were to leave this place.”
“B-But, for me to run away while the people of another country is fighting ……”
“So, if you don’t mind, could you take this girl with you? She was taken hostage by the Aiatsubus that was outside, but we managed to rescue her. This is going to be a battlefield, so please ……”
“U-Umu ……”
Afmand compares Dasha and Geiri and makes a reluctant face. Then Abol called out to Afmand.
“Afmand-sama, if you die, all your efforts at emancipation and reform will be for naught! The future of this young child is also …… Hm? You, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere.”
“What about me? Oh, I see …… I am a slave, and I am a person who ran away from the town. I will accept my punishment, but please have mercy on her, for this child is innocent.”
“Ah!? Y-You, aren’t you Ornob?”
“What? Y-Yes, I am, but do you remember the name of the slave?”
“No! I was looking for you, Mmm, Afmand-sama, this is good. As I thought, you have to leave this place!”
“Y-You’re right …… I’m sorry, I’ll fall back!”
“P-Please wait a minute!? I’ll stay and fight!?”
“Just come with us!”
Ornob was dragged up the stairs with a look of uncertainty on his face.
