Saikyou Juzoku Tensei Chapter 32: 15-yrs old (10)


Ch 32: 15-yrs old (10)



After a while, I took Giselle to the smoky leaf field in the forest.

Once every three days Shibi also followed me.



Sometimes I pass by Noswell on the way.

While grinning he asked me, "how is the smoky leaf field?" I answered him randomly.

Every time, he laughed with satisfaction.

He should be thinking that, I'm having difficulty. 




　If he misunderstood, that's fine.

　I want him to keep thinking that way.

　If the other side makes move, I don't know how far it will go.



　One day, Noswell said to me, "If you give your sister up and apologize to me, I can forgive you for being against my family. You are going to be my wife's family, so I don't want to do such a terrible thing."

If there wasn't one of the 2 torimaki Noppo, who got excited while screaming and knocked Noswell. I was going to beat him.


　It was dangerous. If I don't calm down.

　Thank you Noppo.

　If I was hitting Noswell here, I might have been driven to a disadvantage.

　I don't want to stimulate silent Noswell.



　After that, Noswell strangled Noppo's neck, but I'm sorry, but it's not my concern.



While attending, I increased the number of Otems.

As I watched their growth, I started to realize that if I could fix here and there.

Once I noticed, I couldn't help but increase it.



I also found magic to grow plants quickly.

　It was quite complicated, so it was difficult to grow the whole as a whole, but with this, I raised a characteristic sample and looked at it.

However, the nature may change, so it is just a look at the situation.





Recently, I often meet Philo on the road to the forest.



"I see you again. Every day you go to the forest every day. What's wrong? You hate hunting but it's unusual."



"What are you doing here every day?"



"What? No, no, I have an errand that my grandfather gave me. What is with that face!"


"Next time, should I ask chief about it?"



"It's, it was a secretly asked thing... that... that doesn't concern you! I'm the who is questioning! What are you going to do? What is it? Is it something important for you to change the subject!"



She was worried that I was going to the forest and may have been waiting for me on the road.

She might have guessed that I was having feud with Calco family. 



The story may get complicated if they think chief may be related, so I did not tell chief about this matter.  

So, I'm not going to talk to Philo about it.

It may be useless by seeing Noswell's action...



The chief may also be worried about me.

Perhaps that Philo asked by chief may not be a lie.



"Sorry for making you worry about me. I'll explain to the chief over time."


"I... even I am asking, isn't it fine to not leave me out... Besides you two, there were times when other guys followed you... Why is it just me..."



Philo gets smaller and sits down at a corner.



"I didn't mean to do that, but let's see..."



"Besides, I'm not worried about you! If I let go of my eyes, you would have done something ridiculous so I just confirmed! It's, it's fine already!"



Philo dyed her white cheeks red and ran away.

...... Although she always talk to me with an atmosphere that seems to have been blatant way, I can shake it off by thinking Philo was not honest.


I think it's bad, but it can't be helped.

It might be advantageous if the chief's granddaughter was together, but that would be annoying.

I will explain it later.



After two weeks have passed, the smoky leaves harvest started.

I embraced Giselle and shared my joy with a high touch with Shibi.

I kicked off Shiby trying to hug the Giselle in confusion.

His movement stopped, but Shibi seemed to have no damage. Shibi is strong.



If I dry them near my house, it is more likely to enter Noswell's ear.

So I decided to dry them in a sunny place in the forest.



It was a little quick, but I carved the smoke pipe with a wood carving knife.

Since　I'm used to Otem carving, something like this easy.

After I painter it with the paint mixed with demon beast blood then it's completed. With this it will not be burn easily.

I decorated it with a dragon statue. This is cool.


Shibi seems to be stuck, so I carved a smoke pipe with a Shimuparrot decoration.

He had a complicated face.





One week has passed.

Soon my adult ritual is near.



In general, it takes 10 days to dry smoky leaves.

It should be enough, to try to smoke for a test.



I crushed the dried smoky leaves and put them into smoke pipe.

Smoke rises when a small fire is lit by magic.

I think the smell is pretty good.



I put my mouth on the opposite side and tried to suck it.



"Cough!"



After all, I'm not used to this smoky feeling.



I tried to try the Calco family, but the result was the same.

It will not fit with my constitution.

I will not get addicted to it.



However, it is also a problem that I do not know the taste.

Once I have asked my father to say about "delicious point of smoky leaf" and theoretically I aimed for it, but I am a little scared of what the person who smoked actually thinks.



"I want to try and suck it! Nii-sama, please lend me your kisel." (Kisel= smoke pipe)



"No, it’s still too early for Giselle."



It’s bad, but I don’t intend to let Giselle suck it.

Honestly, I've a little aversion towards smoky leaves.

I think that it is bad for body because of my previous life.



Fortunately, at an adult ceremony only men smokes the smoky leaves.

Let Giselle endure at least until she is twenty years old.

When I think that my younger sister is blowing something like cigarettes, I feel a little caught as an older brother.



"Is that so... Oh, then you just need to get a little bit! I want to taste the atmosphere!"



"Why are you longing for such an adult-like thing?"



"Apart from that... no, that's right!"



It seems to be puberty when I want to stretch my back.

Can't be helped?

When I tried to wipe the smoke pipe with a cloth, I was stopped by the Giselle.



"You can leave it as it is! It will return it soon!"



"... You really just want to smoke the smoky leaves, right? Is that right?"



But, what about the taste check? Shibi too should not be familiar with the taste of smoky leaves.

I will never let Giselle smoke.

For the time being, the target point was clearly kept, but I would like to make a final confirmation.



So far, I don't want to get adults involved.

If it fails, the damage is great.

I and Giselle are children who have not yet finished their adult rituals.

Noswell's parents will not try to get rid of us.

However, if possible, I would like to hear the impressions from people who are used to it.



As a result of worrying, I came up with a way to replace my father's smoky leaves secretly.

I decided to go back and experiment.



When my father went to the bathroom, I opened a small box filled with smoky leaves and threw away the contents outside.

Instead I put homemade smoky leaves in it.




"Mu, today's smoky leaves nice."



"Is there a difference in taste?"



"Yeah. Well, the quality will change depending on the storage conditions. Also, there will be some differences depending on the position of the leaves, individual differences in the trees and the weather also plays a role. Someday you will also understand."


I felt like what he was saying seemed out of place, but it seems to be fine so it seems to be okay.



In adult ceremonies, acquaintances of fathers and closely related people are present.

As I am also a disciple of the chief, and there are many people who come for the sake of the chief.

So, let's advertise homemade smoky leaves, take it to the exchange square and let it spread in large quantities.

15-yrs Old (9)



3rd day since I started making smoky leaves field.


A row of Otem close to 50.

And Yama-san 2nd and 3rd who protect them.



Well, I had a hard time.

It is difficult to manage if the scope becomes too wide, so we have replanted the living Otems and consolidated them in one place.



"Thank you, Shibi, Giselle. After this, all we have to do is just wait for it to work well."



"No, no, if I compared with Giselle-san, this is nothing..."



Shibi was talking to Otem.

Is he really okay?

On the 2nd and 3rd days, he should not have taken a good sleep.

Did I use him too much in my sense?

If I am successful in growing the smoky leaves, I will give him a good return.



I also have a headache because of the side effects of potion. I feel nauseous.

I just want to go back and take a rest.



And, when I turned to the return route, I saw someone coming to this side.

There are three people.

Sure enough, they are the ones from before.



"Oh, that, that the front one, isn't he the only son of the Calco family..."



Shibi speaks while staring at the 3 group leader Noswell.

Until a while ago he was taking to Otem, but it seems he have finally returned to sanity.



He should have heard that we did not go home, so he thought we were suspicious and came to see our situation.

I do not know what kind of measures the Calco family will take.

My future depend on how the other side reacts here.

I slap my cheeks and charged my spirit.



"Huh! No way, you were doing something like this. You are stupid than I thought!"



I look at Noswell and then look at the behind 2 tails.

After shaking their shoulders, they turned their eyes around.

Go home already.... Every time, what do you do following him?



"Well, what is it for this time?"



"What is it for? Do not play dumb. What, how many Otems do you have?
Is it okay for me to think you are challenging my house? Hey."



Noswell narrows his eyes and approaches me.



"Ah, what are you guys! Do you think that you will be fine by selling fight to Abel-san?"



Shibi screams and comes out in front of me.

Then I glared three people one by one.



Shibi is pretty strong compared to me or Giselle.

Well, I felt like that when I first met.

By his saying of just now, it's like he is saying about the threat of the tiger.



Noswell laughs with his nose at Shibi's words. Two people behind him shake their heads like fan.

Seeing that, Noswell hits their head.



I reached out and get in between the two while stopping Shibi.



"Not really, there is no rule to not to cultivate smoky leaves."



"If there is no rule, you can do what ever you do? Remember those words, okay. Challenging my house, you don't think you can get away easily."


By smirking, Noswell returns the way he came.

Today he pulled back early than I thought.



"Can I go home already?"



One of the two asked Noswell as if he is relieved.


"Oh, since I warned, it's fine now. I was convinced after seeing that amount of Otems. It is an idea of a foolish idiot who has not thought about anything. By disappointing and disappointing, he would have moved forward without thinking ahead"



Noswell turns his back to Noppo, then deliberately shrugs his shoulder.

Then he looks back this side slowly.



"Let's leave them alone. Well, why don't you think? Who is going to make so many Otems and get someones to help with the magic supply? I hope he will do well with that smoky leaves field, I hope he'll get along well, I'm looking forward to it, Abel-kun. Then, let's go back, go back."



Is magic supply?

What am I missing?



Seeing sideways, Shibi had a bluish face.

After seeing off Noswell with two people leaving with a quick and fast pace, I asked Shibi.



"What, those guys what were they thinking? That face, did you find something?"



"Oh, that's it. That three people, they will probably call on other villagers not to help us! What should we do?"


Even without help, I thought that I could manage myself in the future, but ... could commonsense be underestimated?

It's something that even Shibi understands, so it's not going to be a professional story either.



"Hmm, what do you mean?"



"Don't you know? There is a place where smoky leaves are grown in the back of the house of the Calco family, but it seems that the supply of magic power is done every morning by hiring nearly thirty people with good magic control. Those things consume too much magic... It is not something one or two people can do... "



"Yup?"



"So if you can't gather people, you'll soon be overwhelmed by loss of magic power! That's not something Abel-san saying!"



Certainly, it has been difficult to collect talented people who can supply magic power in the smoky leaves cultivation.

Alive Otem will die soon after the enchantment of the food is exhausted.

It will die if you miss the supply even for a day.

It is one of the reasons why smoky leaves cultivation does not spread.



I heard that even when Rietta's family is cultivating smoky leaves, they still bow their heads down for the staff of Calco family.

I see, so that's why he did act so generous?

It was good to understand the reason.



"What, what should we do? The people who can supply magic power are limited. Most of them are supposed to be people who have a strong connection with the Calco family and they will not be able to come to you because you asked them."



"Shibi, calm down."



"I can't calm down! How are we going to do this? No, it was useless! Like this, Giselle-chan will! Yes! Alright, his house, let's blow away his house! It is the quickest and clearest! At this time, let's say that is what I did! so let's do it!"



"Hey, Shibi."



"Oh, yes! My dad, he is pretty dexterous! Let me help! There are many people who have a grudge against the Calco family, I know them! If there is cooperation between them, people who will follow me should come out! It is inevitable that it will be important, but it will be war if it is war!"



"Shibi."



"What, what is it? Why does Abel have a calm face?"



"Because I can do it alone, so be relieved."



Underestimate me, it's troublesome.

If it is this scale, my magic alone is enough.

There will no problem if it is about ten times wider.



"Eh?"



No, it was good.

It seems that Noswell will not disturb anymore. Let me do what I like.

Saikyou Juzoku Tensei Chapter 30: 15-yrs Old (8)


15 years old 8

"Yoshi... it's done."


I entrusted the production of the live Otems to Giselle and Siby and I carved a large Otem.

It's over 2 meters. The upper part was carved with a tree stump.

It's a huge tree cut into a thin shape. I worked hard.

Let's call it Yama-san the second.



Yama-san the 2nd is not a living Otem.

It is not a futel tree, but another kind of tree used.

Shibi helped me to cut the tree.



Yama-san the 2nd is something like a scarecrow for protecting this smoky leaves field.

I can see that Noswell will come to harassment.

After building a no-entry signboard, I planned to let this Yama-san the 2nd to guard this area.

As it is dangerous, so I did not attach any attack function, but anyone being chased by this big size of Otem they would normally run away.


There is no problem with cultivating smoky leaves in the forest.

Originally, opening is encouraged.



It seems that there are few lands suitable for agriculture in this Maren settlement.

In the land where magic trees have grown for a long time, the components in the ground are biased.

Therefore, even if you just cut the forest, you cannot grow crops as you think.

Alchemy has been expanding land for a small number of farms by generations, but that is also a resurgence.

It grows wildly, there are quick-breeding magical herbs and if anyone don't care for a while, it will soon be lost to geology.



As long as you are free clearing, there is nothing to be said about smoky leaves cultivation.

Most of all, they only care about the woods of the forest, so there is no need to do anything to fertilize the land compared to crops.

I give magic power on a special soil, but that's it.

I don't have to burn it or burn it all up.


After the adult ceremony and the war about smoky leaves settles down, I will try to combine Otems to make a tractor.

I am confident that I can expand Maren tribe's farmland more than ten times.

I do not need so much. It is likely that the chief will stop me.



I tried to stroke the head of Yama-san the 2nd. I stretched, but I couldn't reach it.

Yep, dependable.

If it chased without knowing anything, ordinary people will escape first.



Well then, let's go back to making the live Otem of smoky leaves. 


Thinking so, when I tried to find an affordable futel tree, Shibi came to my view who fell asleep by holding Otem.

I put my hand on Shibi's shoulder and shake it.



"Shibi, get up! Here, quickly! It's a little late than planned! Please!"



　Shibi wakes up with a pretty face.

　Oh, did he slimmed a little?(Please read this at novel44.blogspot.com)


"Abel-san... isn't it already enough? I've never seen so many Otems lined up outside of Abel-san's garden. I have heard that for making smoky leaves the most difficult part is to take care of Otems.

"Enough? It's not even close. We need to change the conditions little by little and need to keep track of which went well. These numbers are not enough at all."


"We are behind schedule, isn't it because of Abel-san put too much effort into making security Otem..."



"It can't be helped. Because I'm a perfectionist. Come on, carve it! Carve it! It's a lifetime request! I will do what I can do! So I'm carve it for now!"



"Eh... low or high waist... Well then... Giselle-san..." "It is impossible"



　I said anything, but it is something I can do.

　I cannot afford to involve my sister.



"I'm leaving now! I'm tired!"



As I lie down, I glanced at Giselle sculpting an Otem and then hid my voice.



"... Shibi, I did not explain to you, if this time smoky leaves did not go well Giselle will be married into the Calco family."



If the Calco family moves seriously, that is possible.

If I say strongly, it is possible that my family will be isolated in the village.

Of course, if they really set up such a thing, I will also go all out in a fierce and reckless moves without choosing any means.(Please read this at novel44 blogspot)


At that time it will not end with just smoky leaves war.

Between me and Noswell, one of us will become laughing stock and cannot walk in this village.



"Eh!? is that true?"



"Yes, so please, Shibi..."



I tried to bow my head and stopped moving.

Even in this village there is a culture that bows the head. There is, but there is something heavier than that.



I closed my eyes and tried to cross the air with a hand with one hand, as I did Shibi doing it well. (Please read this at novel44.blogspot.com)

I hope it cannot be seen as a joke.



"I, I understand! You don't have to do that!"



"What, what are you doing? Brother! Please drop your hand!"



　Not only Shibi, Giselle who sculpted an Otem put down wood-cutting knife and came to stop me.

　Still, I could not grasp what this means within the Maren tribe.



"I also think it's bad, Shibi. But I need that Yama-san the 2nd too."



"Yama-san the 2nd?"



"It's about that big and slender Otem that my brother made."



As expected of Giselle.

Even though I hadn't taught her it's name yet, she seemed to have guessed it somehow.


"That's right, Shibi, I have a special drink, want to drink? Sleepiness will fly away and you can keep working like a machine for 24 hours or seventy-two hours. When the effect is out, you will suffering a little."



　Of course, I also brought Abel potion.

　The performance has been rising steadily as the prototypes are piled up.

　Although the side effects have also jumped up in proportion to it.

　However, since the grass that can be harvested within the village is the main ingredient, it is hard to see the limit of performance improvement soon.

　In the past year, development has progressed only to reduce side effects.


"That, that please spare me. It somehow feels like something that is going over the line that one should never cross as a person..."



　Shibi shakes his head while making his face blue.



　Well, I see?

　It is only a temperament, Should I use the magic of fatigue recovery?
