6-year-old Wise Man Wants to Walk in the Shade : Chapter 3 - Rescue the Princess Knight

I run in the direction indicated by the detection magic.


"It's hard to run because of my short limbs ...!"


I didn't care until yesterday, but I compare it with myself.

When I managed to cross the barrier and escape from the bush, there was a group of humans attacked by a group of orcs.


Five human men were lying on the ground and eight orcs were dead too beside them.

Both were completely dead.


Human men are probably knights as they were in their outfits.


Right now, only one delicate girl with a sword and shield is confronting eight orcs, including the Orc King.


The girl, wearing an armor over her dress and long boots, is glaring at the orc, with her white skin and chest full of scratches.

The hem of the dress was torn, and the long blade was also disturbed.

It was attacked by a group led by King Orcs, and although they made a good fight, the numbers were so different that they were gradually cornered.

She seemed to be facing the orcs with just her energy.

Her shoulders are trembling with fear.

Still, her eyes did not lose her temper.


Neither she nor the orcs have noticed my existence yet.


"I can't run away anymore, Princess Knight. It's a shame that the exit of the forest is just around the corner."

"Ku ..."


The Orc King spit a lot as he spoke and snorted.

It seems that when it gets excited, it’s nose will open.

The Armor around the King orc is probably stolen.

The size doesn't match at all, and the generous belly meat sticks out.


Anyway--. 

From the feeling of the armor and dress she wore, I knew at a glance that she was a noble person, but what is a princess?


Why did such a group enter this forest?

Since the princess herself is armed, it doesn't seem that she just got lost during the trip.


If you don't want to be killed, kneel down and ask for forgiveness!"

"Who will succumb to you ...!"

"Hmm, it looks like the negotiations have broken down. Hey, peel it off!"


The orcs lick their tongues and sneak at the princess knight.

The orcs were completely alert to the overwhelming advantage.


What do I do?


I made a plan in my head instantly.


I'm curious about the unusual status I saw earlier, but you can believe that you can use fire magic.

If it were fire magic, even I at level 1 should be able to burn the eyes of an orc.


No matter how small the fire, if you burn your eyes, you will be fatally injured.


So if you take away the sight of the Orc King, the Orc’s command will be disturbed.


Take that opportunity, take that princess knight's hand, and run to the exit of the forest.

As long as they can get out of the barrier, they can't follow.


Alright, let's go with this strategy as planned.

I stuck out my right hand towards the Orc King.

It's easy to aim because he has his arms crossed and he's determined to see the heights.


I put magical power in the palm of my hand, concentrate my consciousness, and release magic.


In that moment--.


"Uh !? Giya ah ahhh ... !!"


The fire that was set off with a fierce heat wave burned down the Orc King.


"... What?"


I couldn't predict the magical recoil, and after staggering a few steps behind me I was blown away and slammed my back.

Because I never imagined that I could cast such a powerful magic.


With an incredible sight in front of me, I open my mouth.


"What, this power ..."


This is not a level 1 fire magic which can be released by a 6-year-old child.

This is as powerful as the fire magic that I released in my previous life at level 99.


That number that was displayed in the status.

Was it a fact, not an anomaly?


"Then, now I'm even better than in my previous life ...?"


I Involuntarily look down on my palm.

Not only me, but the orcs who lost their bosses and the princess knights seem to be stunned because they can't believe what happened right now.


"Bo ... boss ...? Where did it disappear ...?"

"What is it now ...? What happened ...?"

"No way ... the boss, are you dead ...?"


Unpalatable.

Not when you're absent-minded.


I have to take this opportunity to escape with the princess knight.

When I raised my face thinking so.


"Wow!?"


Suddenly my body floated in the air.

A soft touch that hits the tummy.

I was even more confused when I realized that I was being held up by the princess knight.


"Huh !? Why !?"

"It's dangerous here. I don't know what happened, but let's run away now ... !!"

"Well, wait. I am ..."

"It's okay, I'll protect you even if I replace it with my life ...!"


The princess knight started running while holding me with her thin arms.

The orcs, who had lost their boss and were upset, seemed to be a little late in understanding the situation.


"Hey! The woman has run away! What should I do !?"

"What should I do ..., chase for the time being!"

"It was that woman's magic or something that killed the boss! Never let it escape!"


Actually, I was planning to pull the arm of the princess knight and run away.

I was unaware that I'll be hugged ...


It wasn't like this.


I cling on the princess knight's shoulder and measure the distance between the orcs.

If i can use powerful magic, from the distance it can destroy them quick.


"Hey kid!! What are you looking at !?"


I found that the princess knight, who had been running patiently, clenched her teeth while crying.

I hold my palm over and adjust the magical power.


As a matter of fact, my level is 1.

The magic attack power also requires level correction ...


"Catch up, woman!! Wait!"

"It's okay ... it's okay. You must be outside ... !!"


――Is this enough?


I let go of the fire magic again.

This time, I was going to make a lot of adjustments according to the magic power value.


"Huh ... ahhhhh !!"


However, despite the control, a tremendous amount of magic was released from the palm of his hand.

The erupting flame burns the orcs.

In the end, like the Orc's King, the orcs disappeared in an instant.


What's more, the magical recoil that was released caused the princess knight holding me to lose balance.


"Ah……!"

"Wap"


I fell down with the princess knight and was crushed by her chest.

Seventh: Chapter 4 - Monster

  "I was terribly tired , but after waking up, I endured the sleepiness and ate breakfast. The breakfast served at the inn didn't look particularly appetizing, but it was warm, and perhaps because my body needed it, it tasted good when I ate it. Seeing me like that, Novem looked relieved. 'You seemed awfully tired yesterday, but you look fine today, don't you? Your complexion isn't bad either.' Since waking up, I've been completely dependent on Novem. I even let her help me wash my face, brush my teeth, and set my hair. Several times, I heard the First Generation's voice shouting at me, mostly telling me not to rely on Novem. For some reason, they seem to be quite concerned about Novem." "It's not just the First Generation. From the Fourth Generation back—the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Generations—they all seem to be somewhat lenient with Novem. As for the Fifth Generation and onwards, perhaps because Novem's family is a vassal...

Seventh Prologue

  Prologue Lyle Walt was born the eldest son of the prestigious Count Walt House. He was supposed to inherit the family name, wealth, and legacy. That was his destiny. But reality had other plans. One day, he lost a decisive contest against his flawless younger sister—Celes Walt. Beautiful, talented, and beloved by all, Celes overshadowed him in every way. The result? Disinheritance. Cast aside like a failed prototype, Lyle was exiled from the house he had once called home. Defeated in both body and spirit, all that remained of his pride was a hollow shell. And yet, just before he left, he obtained a mysterious object. A blue jewel . Inside it were the skills and memories of the past heads of the Walt family—seven generations of ancestors, all brought back as lingering consciousnesses within the gem. At first, Lyle thought he had found salvation. Surely, with the guidance of his powerful and wise ancestors, he could rise again, reclaim his name, and forge his own legend....

Seventh: Chapter 1 - Lyle, the Former Noble

  I looked into the mirror and brushed aside my blue hair. The reflection staring back at me looked utterly exhausted. Some spots on the bandages were still stained with blood, but the wounds had already closed. Even the burn marks had disappeared—perhaps thanks to some sort of medicine. "How are you feeling, young master?" I turned at the voice behind me and offered my thanks to the old man. "Thank you. I feel a lot better now." The old man was a gardener who lived and worked in a small shed built on the mansion grounds. Though he had family, he'd been living alone since his wife passed away. The shed, tucked away in a hidden corner of the estate's vast gardens, was apparently a repurposed storage building. "I'm glad to hear that. You were in quite a dangerous state. If it had been the mansion’s physician, the treatment might have been more thorough..." Though the old man sounded apologetic, he was once a soldier. He seemed to know a fair bit ...
