6-year-old Wise Man Wants to Walk in the Shade

Chapter 22 - Searching for the culprit (Part 2) "By putting on a show, we'll trap the culprit. If we can get a confession that's close to a confession, we'll win. You can't trust just my words, Chief. You want clear evidence of who cast the suggestive spell." "Have you really pinpointed the culprit?" "I guess so." The situation so far has given him the answer.  However, there are still pieces missing for the Chief to believe in the culprit. "How did you figure out who the culprit is?" "I just thought things through in an orderly way. Someone who wants war to break out between the dragon people and werewolves will inevitably emerge as a suspect." "I guess so." "See. It's easy to understand, right?"  The Chief frowned and let out a heavy sigh. The Chief should be the one who knows the situation best, so perhaps he hasn't noticed? "Hey, explain it so I can understand. What do you mean?"...

Chapter 21 -  Searching for the culprit (part 1) The chief was sprawled out, breathing heavily. "Guh... hah... hah..." "Chief, are you okay? Can you get up?" I asked, holding out my hand. The chief laughed at me, mocking himself. "Hmph, my whole body's numb." "Sorry. Chief, you're pretty strong. It was hard for me to win by going easy on you. I wanted to hurt you so badly that you could stand." His eyes darted around, and he looked at me. He looked at me, as if trying to find out what was going on inside of him. "Who the hell are you? Dammit. You're more than just a brat..." He sounded a little frustrated. I somehow felt a sense of kinship with the chief, who didn't even hide his feelings. 『You can't accept that you lost to a mere child?』 The chief's sharp gaze turned round. He probably didn't expect to be told off like that. Right after, he burst out laughing, Buhahahaha! Ouch, that hurts... laughing so hard...

Chapter 20 -  Eddie vs. the Dragon-Man Chief ******************** Name: Eddie Level: 10 <Restricted> Occupation: Sage Stamina: 100 Magic: Fire Magic (Weak), Wind Magic (Weak), Dark Magic (Super), Sleep Magic, Detection Magic, Investigation Magic, Teleportation Magic (Self), Teleportation Magic (Other) Magic Ability Score: 204531 <Reincarnation Bonus> ********************* Five more times you can cast attack magic. That's enough. "It hurts a little, but bear with it. You're an adult." "Don't mess with me! You're an eyesore!" The chief roared and slammed his fist into the ground. "Whoa...!" The ground, gouged out by the impact, cracked, spewing up dirt and sand. I frantically jumped back, but my childish legs were not able to dodge it very well. "Stomp..." That's amazing. I never thought he'd crack the ground with a punch. Even I was surprised by the incredible blow. And that was just a warning, right? And you we...

  Chapter 19 -  Discovering the true nature of obsession Hey, hey, Dragonman. While Princess Clarice and the chief were talking, I sneaked in among the dragon people. The dragon man who had brought the chief here shook his body in shock when he saw me. Why is a human brat among us? Now, now, calm down. More importantly, is Chief always like that? What?! What are you like? Every time the dragon man yelled, my ears rang. It was the nature of the dragon people to be rough and quick to anger. But the chief wasn't just short-tempered. There was something else that bothered me. The way his eyes would sometimes lose focus, and the way he would get overly excited at those times. Chief, you said earlier that you were going to get that thing. Your attitude was strange then. It was like he didn't see what was going on around him.' The chief showed such tenacity that it was unnatural. That bothered me. So I thought I'd bring it up and see how the dragon people would react... The dr...

Chapter 18 - The leader of the dragon tribe After waiting for several minutes, the leader of the dragon people arrived, accompanied by the same dragon people and several other guards. ...Oops. Something impressive has appeared. He was overwhelmingly more well-built than any dragon people I'd seen so far. His skin was covered in sparkling blue scales and was sturdy, and his well-trained upper arms were as thick as logs. The jet-black horns on his head were also manly. He looked like a real man among men, and to be honest, he looked pretty cool. That aside, were he really only bringing along a minimum number of guards? I used detection magic to sense our surroundings. The results came quickly. There was no one hiding nearby. Detection magic is really useful, after all. I could use it more often if I didn't have to worry about magical power. The leader on his horse looked around us with a disgusted look, then clicked his tongue and turned back to his subordinates. "Hey, what...

Chapter 17 - We can destroy it, but what should we do? "That power was Eddie's magic, right...?" "That's the Princess' power. I was just supporting her with magic. More importantly..." As I was unconscious, I looked at the dragon people and the guards who were fast asleep. Everyone here was stretched out except for me and the Princess. Now. What should I do? "I'll take this letter." The Princess put the secret letter that the guards had inside her armor. If I want to stop the war, I need to use the time I've gained to think of my next move. As I was thinking, I asked the Princess how she felt. "Princess, do you have any wishes or hopes?" "Y-yes? Um... Eddie. I..." "Tell me if there's anything you want to try." The Princess shifted her gaze in a hesitant manner, then began to speak hesitantly. "--If the werewolves and dragonmen clash and end up destroying each other, it will not only cause damage to...

Chapter 16 - "Strengthening: Princess Clarice" The footsteps were approaching with incredible force. There was no time to use detection magic to investigate. "Eddie-sama, get behind me!" On the surface, I was being protected by the princess, but I subtly prepared myself. In the worst case scenario, I was ready to activate magic at any moment. Immediately afterwards, the source of the sound appeared from beyond the trees. "======================" (Huh? Why are there humans in a place like this?) The words they were speaking were those of the dragon race. I could understand them. But the princesses probably wouldn't understand. "Hii...! A-dragon race...!?" The guards trembled in fear at the sight of the demons looking down on them from their horses. There were about ten enemies. All of them were on horseback, and they surrounded us with practiced control of the reins. "Princess, please stand back!" "No, I'll fight too!" ...
