Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 35

Chapter 35

The coming-of-age ceremony went off without a hitch .

Originally, it wasn’t a very long ritual .

I drank a soup of boiled plants that are said to be resistant to spells, carved ortems and sang songs in spirit languages, and played my own flute to pray to the spirits of my ancestors .

To those who come to the ritual, I will wave the meat of the demon beast I finished off .

However, there are a lot of people, and it’s just a formality . I almost ended up just handing out bite-sized meat .

I’m sure there’s a significance to showing that you’ve become a full-fledged member of society .

And finally, it’s over with a cross with the opposite hand against the sky-high day with a kissel in one hand .

The whole event took a little over two hours .

It starts in the morning and ends around noon .

There were about 40 people who partic.i.p.ated in the event . Some of them didn’t know much about me .

I don’t have many acquaintances, but my father’s face is generally wide .

I’m glad that the Chief, who usually doesn’t go out at all, took the trouble to go out .

After the coming-of-age ceremony is over, I keep Kissel away .

“How awful!”

It’s like smoke .

The smell is good, but it’s not likely to get used to it .

”Now you too are a member of the adult Marlen tribe . From now on, you’re going to be a little more careful about what you hear, and you’re going to study magic to a lesser extent, and you’re going to hunt . ”

My father gave me permission a long time ago to use magic while I was hunting .

Somehow, my father gave in .

That’s why helping with the hunt is alright but, when it comes to magic I don’t think I can hold back .

Be that as it may……… .

“…Excuse me, Father, please lend me a hand . My clothes are too heavy I can’t move . May I take it off?”

“jeez, can’t you say more softly!”

In the coming-of-age ceremonies, special ceremonial garments must be layered on top of each other, as well as thick ornaments on the head .

This is heavy . The inside of my clothes are all sweaty .

”Wah, I’ll give you a hand, big brother! Thank you for your hard work!

“I’m sorry, jeez, my strength… …”

After that, I was going to handle the incense leaf at the exchange square… … Is tomorrow all right?

I want to sleep already today . I want to hold the ortem and lie down slowly .

I was taken by Gizel and fluttered into the shadow of the building .

“Congratulations . I guess this means that Zele’s boy is now a full-fledged member of the family . ”

“Ah … Garia-san, thank you . Thank you for coming . ”

It was Shibi’s father, Garia, who came near while clapping .

“But that’s the state of the affair, and it looks like a new marriage . and when is the ceremony to be held?”

Gizel turns bright red to her ears at Gallia’s light words .

I bury my face in my raggedy outfit, trying to hide my blushing face .

Haha, don’t make fun of me too much, Garia-san .

“Hm? Uh, Oh, is that so?”

Garia looks unconvinced and touches his chin .

Sure, it may seem a little too close if you look from the outside, but I don’t think there will be any reaction . .

“She was always saying Abel this Abel that, but where did Shibi that idiot go? . No, i’m really sorry . He suddenly disappears … “

”No, no, actually, I asked for it myself!”

“Asked?”

“Yes, I had some business to attend to, but I was stuck at the coming-of-age ceremony… I’m sorry . ”

‘No, no . Oh, my G.o.d, it was Abel, that makes sense . If that’s the case, he should have told me too… . . So, what business is that?

I don’t like how you are convinced, but …

However, up until now i’ve asked shibi to do many things so, i don’t know what to say … …

I’m, I’m sorry, sorry for the inconvenience .

“This is it . ”

As I say, I shake the kissel lightly .

The smoke scattered about .

“I thought it smelled strange, don’t me that, you made it yourself!? I heard you are doing something, Shibi also did not say anything so I thought you gave up … …”

“I wanted to ma.s.s-produce them all at once, so I asked them to lie down as much as possible . . Now, I’m asking Shibi to transport, pick up s.p.a.ce, and collect information . . Really, I’m sorry again . ”

“Hahaha! Finally, Abel has made it that far . If you make too much, you might get noticed by the Karlco family . Just be careful . ”

“It’s okay . I’m only making enough for three people to manage . ”

“This is good, a masterpiece! I see, hey, don’t you have a spare something now?”

Garia laughed wildly, and so came to me .

“There is . How do you like it?”

“Okay, so I’m customer number one . ”

Garia takes out the ore containing the magic circle from inside his clothes .

It’s like a currency subst.i.tute, with the Chief guaranteeing value .

“I was actually going to give them out to the people who came to see me . With a thank you and then a publicity . It’s like a trial product, so there’s not a lot of it . See, that’s what’s in that burlap sack over there . ”

“…aren’t you making a lot of food? You’re gonna be okay, right? Between you and me, those guys are insidious, so watch out for them . ”

Garia erases her smile and gives a hushed word of advice .

But it’s too late .

We know that the Karlco’s are stingy, and they’re already ready to go .

We are already prepared to continue to sell on the cheap .

I didn’t want to move much because of my messy outfit, so I asked Gizel to get a burlap bag for me .

I took out a cloth-wrapped fragrant incense leaf and handed it to Garia .

When Garia received the incense leaf, he crushed it with his fingertips and put it in the kissel, then used his magic to light a small fire .

After exhaling the smoke, “Whoa!” He said with admiration .

“Hey! This is great! You looked really unpleasant during the coming-of-age ceremony, so I thought it was tasteless . ”

“I’m a little bad at smoking”

“Hey Abel-san! Abel-san! There’s a problem!”

As me and Galia were talking, Shibi broke in .

“Hey, Shibi! You didn’t tell me … …”

“Yikes! Fa-, Father! Hey, come back later, please! We’re in trouble right now!”

It’s hectic .

“Why are you here? The place is … . ”

“I have an acquaintance taking over for me, so I’m fine … No, It may not be fine … my judgement is somewhat helpless, so if you’re done, please come early!”

“Which one is it? What, was it something unexpected?”

“The truth is, I got delayed at preparing … so I was late at getting a place . So in a panic, thought there was a good position available and jumped in to get ready…right next to the Karlco family . By the time I realized it, the corner was already empty… So, I thought I’d move

it… It seems that the Karlco family is also working hard today, so we should change the date… . . ”

“Nice, well done, Shibi”

“Huh?”

Time run’s short .

I put my hands on my ceremonial layers . However, I can’t take it off well because of the sweat .

“d.a.m.n it, go ahead! Don’t let go of that position! Protect them, even if it means dying! I’ll be right there!”

“A-, Are you serious?”

Shibi says with a gaping mouth .

“Where will you find a guy who’s going to quit here! Gizel, help me take this off!”

“Yes, please leave it to me!”

“Abel! You, you! What the h.e.l.l are you doing!!”

My father, who was bowing to the Chief, looked at me and screamed .

But this is not the time to be concerned about it . I’ll cut you a cross or something later .
