4-a new place to





 I walked down the snowy mountain with Lilith.
 After going down the snowy mountain for a while, we saw a small village at the foot of the mountain.

 Hmm.
 Two hundred years ago, there shouldn't have been a village like this, but it looks like things are different from the past.

 It's a remote land that doesn't have any advantageous geographical conditions, but it seems to be prospering in its own way.

 Perhaps this is the result of the excellent management skills of the nobleman who governs the land.

 While I was thinking about this, we arrived at the destination.

''We've arrived. The building you see over there is the hiding place we prepared for Abel-sama.

"Ho......

 I couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

 The grand mansion in front of me.
 In my day, it wouldn't be surprising if they said it was a house inhabited by royalty.

 It's a symmetrical two-story house, no, three stories. How many rooms are there in this house?

 I can't wait to get inside and see what's going on.

"Master Abel. "Dear Abel, I'm afraid that's not the house. I've prepared a house for you, and it's the one next door.

Hmm. ......?

 I shift my gaze when Lilith tells me to.

 A house. A wooden house.

 Simple at best, and unadorned at worst.
 No, I only think so after seeing the mansion, but in reality, it's a splendidly built one in its own right

 There's a chimney, and if you look closely, it looks like there's an attic, too. Oh, it's a nice house, isn't it? Yeah.

Typical.

'Normal is best. Considering Abel-sama's position, I felt it wasn't a good idea to show off too much.

 I see.
 If you think about it, you have a point.

 In my past life, I was feared as the strongest magician by some people, but with the body of a child I have now, I can't show even 30% of my true strength.

 It may be a wise choice to wait quietly for now until the body enters a growth phase.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...

 The house Lilith led me to resembled the interior of an average home from two hundred years ago, with well-polished wood floors and a light-colored wooden desk.

 A light-colored wooden desk with a polished wooden floor and a fireplace. Then there was the fireplace.
 The sofa and the carefully prepared carpets. Sofas had existed in the previous world, but the care with which the carpet was stitched was astonishing.



 But what I've never seen before is that. A mysterious sphere hanging from the ceiling.

 Snap!

 It was dazzling. The sphere glowed.

 What does this mean?
 It was just me and Lilith alone in the house, but I didn't see any signs that someone had constructed magic.

''I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have startled you. What's shining over there is a lighting fixture called a 'light bulb'. It's an excellent one that can illuminate the surroundings with the flick of a switch.''

 When I said that, Lilith showed me the lights flashing on and off repeatedly as the switch was turned on and off.

 I see.
 This is convenient.

 Perhaps there is a small magic stone inlaid inside the bulb, so that the magic is built automatically in response to the switch.

 The evidence of this is that the flow of magic power is slightly stagnant only around the bulb.

''You're not too surprised, are you?''

'Yeah. Yes, I think it's a great technology, but I just couldn't help but think it would be more convenient to build my own magic.

 Originally, magic that illuminated the surroundings was the domain of the 《Burning Eye》, which controlled fire-attribute magic, but this level of magic could be easily used by anyone, regardless of the color of their eyes.

 In the world I lived in two hundred years ago, children used to desperately learn the magic syntax of the Luminous Flashlight, hating the dark nights.

''Hmph. That's a very Abel-sama-like idea.''

 My idea?
 The lighted "luminescent flashlight" is probably the most basic of all the magic tricks.

 Even if it's not me, I think it's a natural question that every person who has studied magic has: ......

''I'm going to prepare a meal right now, so feel at home and relax.

 Saying that, Lilith walks into the kitchen.
 By the way, since it's a small house, you can check out the kitchen even when you're in the living room.

''If you are feeling tired, please feel free to lie down on the couch over there. I will speak to you again when you are ready.

 If that's the case, I won't hesitate.
 Maybe it's because I haven't been awake in a long time, but I'm storing up more fatigue than I expected.

 After laying there for a while, I ended up falling into a comfortable slumber on the couch.
