Case 9: World-class.
Case 9: World-class.
''...This is insanity, if she keeps up this pace, we might finally see another World-class mage after 500 years.'' Abe mutters.
I've heard of that before. A World-class mage is a title above Archmage, given to those who surpassed the realm of 5-star Archmage. The pinnacle of magic, they say. There are also World titles for sword users, healers, tankers, and such as well.
''The last World-class mage was the first Emperor of Aragon, right? Wasn't he a Saint?'' Says Liana, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
''That's right, Emperor Kira Alistaire Aragon was the third World-class mage in history, and the 17th Saint as well. Unfortunately, he died fighting the demon king at the time though.'' Mom answers back.
When I asked the goddess about this, she explained that there are generations to the whole demon king and saints mess. Every now and then, a new demon king will spawn in the land of demons and try to lead them to invade the continent. But every time that happens, the goddess will select a suitable soul from Earth to reincarnate here and fight back the demons. One generation is around 70 years.
She said that summoning requires quite a lot of energy, so she couldn't do it often. She also rambled about how other planets have multiple deities but she is the only one governing this world. The misery of a working-class woman.
The results were quite satisfactory though, there were several close cases, but the demons never managed to invade the whole continent or the whole world. The geography here is weird, there's only one giant continent covering about 60% of the planet's surface.
Anyway, there were Saints who died fighting the war, there were survivors, those who died of old age,... The list goes on, but ultimately there are still saints left in this world living somewhere.
But enough about that, I'm hungry, let's stop the exercise here and go grab some food, I'm craving some steak.
...They're still discussing Saints though, I guess I have to stop them first.
''Well, Saints are nice and all, but it's almost dinnertime already, can we go eat?'' I interrupt the enthusiastic scholars.
''Ah, sure, we can continue discussing while eating.'' Dad snaps out, they really are interested in the Saints, don't they?
After that, we moved back to the dining room, and now there's a heated discussion going on.
They're basically arguing about who was stronger, first Emperor Kira or another dude named Antony, who apparently was a World-class Swordmaster. There are two teams in this battle, my dad and Marchioness Seymour, whose name was Adela, are on the side of Kira, while Abe and my mom are on Antony's side. This is like, the usual 'conflict' between knights and mages that I saw in fiction works? Whatever, I'm not interested.
And what am I doing at this time? I'm stuffing my face with food, of course, the best position you can take in a conflict is the spectator one, it's very entertaining. The other two kids are also busy eating after moving around so much as well.
Mhmmm~ This pudding is so good, I might even have an orgasm here. Royal chefs are the best. It looks like Emy has the same thought as me, just look at her face flushing. Hey, let's reach climax together, my friend.
''Phew, we're going nowhere with this.'' Mom gave up, it seems. ''Let's just finish the meal.''
''I agree, let's finish eating and then we can move on to work.'' Dad also gave up. So it's a draw, then.
After that, I just went back to my room after having an orgasm with Emy over the puddings and saying goodbye to her and Liana. If that sounded wrong, that's a you problem, not mine. It feels pretty good to have friends who you can play with, actually, I never really had friends in my past life.
Following that was a bath.
While showering, I remembered my dad telling me that the three of us could go outside to play tomorrow while four of them were going to do some more work. It's hard being rulers, it seems.
Now then, it's time for some night entertainment, let's watch some YouTube stuff, maybe listen to music...
It's 7 in the morning the next day. I wake up and get refreshed, I'm a lazy bum, so I leave all the tidying to my maids. Pray to the maids, I love you guys.
Now that I look good again, let's go to the living room.
As I open the door to the living room, I can see two little girls sitting on the couch, fiddling with chess pieces and the chessboard on the table.
''What's going on here, guys?''
Liana and Emy notice me. ''I was getting taught by Emilia.''
Fair enough, it's good that she wants to learn. But now's not the time for that.
''Let's go have breakfast then head out to play, you guys will stay here for a few more days, right? Better use that time to have fun.''
''Mhmm.''
''Alright.''
Great. It's explore time. I've never bothered to go out of the castle before, but now I have friends so I'm sure it'll be fun.
After having breakfast, we are now heading out of the castle. As we step out of the main door, I can see a familiar face standing outside.
''Hey there Justia, what are you doing here?'' It's Justia, the gal who escorted me to the library last time. She is now wearing a green uniform, similar to a military one back on Earth, with a cap as well.
''I've been tasked to guard Your Highness and the ladies during your trip. I hope you can pardon my intrusion.'' Justia says with a smile.
Liana bends her neck to look up. ''That's fine, I don't think our parents want us to be stranded or anything.''
I'm starting to feel pity for her now, she has the same height as me but four years older...
Well, she's right though, that means our party now has four people.
''His Majesty told us to use the car to go, the city's pretty far from here, I'm afraid.'' Justia points to a roofless black car parked on the left side of the door.
Nice, we got a car. Dad said it's still very hard to get a car, as they're very expensive and rare. It looks different from a normal modern car though.
But we get in anyway, as Justia starts the engine, I see her controlling the mana stored somewhere inside the car and the tires start to roll. I wonder what's the moving mechanism here.
Surrounding the castle is unsurprisingly a forest, the trees are so tall I think I might have a neck problem looking at the trees. The trunks are very thick as well.
In the end, elves are still elves, they love trees and nature. I myself feel nicer when I'm around trees as well, as I am now an elf with proper long and pointy ears. There's just a subtle feeling of freshness whenever I'm around plants.
That's why I have several potted plants in my room, and there's more around the castle as well.
But anyway, I've heard a bit about the city from Dad before, I hope there is lots of fun there.
