「I can’t do this because my family environment is terrible. I don’t know how you managed to grow up decently until you were nine.」

Sam’s home environment was not a pleasant one.

His mother was weak and had already passed away.

After that, his mother-in-law, who had been a mistress, became the main wife, but she didn’t seem to like Sam anyway.

(That’s right. Your ex-wife’s child is not going to be pretty.)

Sam is the eldest son, even if he doesn’t have any talent with a sword.

I’m not an expert on the aristocracy of this world, but unless there’s something wrong, the eldest son usually inherits the title.

However, his mother-in-law did not give up.

She told his father that Sam was not suitable to be the next head of the family because of his lack of talent with a sword.

His father seemed to agree with her, and thanks to his mother-in-law’s efforts, Sam was no longer chosen as the new head of the family.

After that, it was decided that his younger brother would succeed him, and Sam was left to his own devices.

Derrick, the butler, and Daphne, the head maid, have been taking care of Sam.

They are the two people who immediately showed their faces to him when he woke up.

It was thanks to Derrick and Daphne that Sam, who had lost his mother, was not alone.

「Now that I’ve been reincarnated in such an unfortunate situation, I want to go on an adventure since I’m in a different world.」

Since I was in a fantasy world of swords and magic that every boy dreams of, there was no way I could choose not to go on an adventure.

(To be frank, I don’t want to do the traditional territorial reforms or make a fortune by making Japanese playground equipment… I don’t want to make this house wealthy.)

There are several ways to live in a different world.

But Sam was not willing to do anything that would enrich the Reinbach family.

If the people in the family had been good to Sam, it would have been a different story, but the way they treated him was neglectful, which would definitely be a big problem in modern Japan.

(Well, there’s no way they’d listen to me if I tried to do something in the first place.)

In the end, even if Sam was motivated, he couldn’t bring about any reform in the Reinbach family.

In short, Sam has no choice but to leave this house and go on an adventure.

It’s not a house he likes to stay in, and even if he had the memories of the boy, he wouldn’t be attached to it in any way.

If that’s the case, it’s better to go on an adventure to enjoy the other world.

「But I have no talent with a sword.」

I gave it a try, but sadly, I had no talent with swords.

.

The moment when the wooden sword, which I was holding properly, just slipped out of my hand, I was beyond stunned and even moved.

「The only hand I have left―――is magic!」

Since magic exists in this world, it would be a shame not to use it.

(However, I don’t know if I have magic power or if I have magic talent.)

If I don’t have any magic talent, I’ll just cry.

In that case, at worst, I’ll become a merchant and make a lot of money by making things from Earth that can be reproduced in another world.

「I wish I had some kind of magic textbook, maybe I’ll ask Daphne.」

It was a good idea when I thought of it.

Sam quickly left the room to find the head maid who would take care of him.

She was in the garden hanging out the laundry.

「There you are. Hey, Daphne.」

「Hi, Young Master Sam. How can I help you?」

Daphne was a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties with her hair pulled up in a bun and silver-rimmed glasses.

Her long slit eyes gave the impression that she was a bit stern, but I remember her as a gentle, kind-hearted woman.

Her classic maid’s uniform really suited her well.

It tickles me to hear her call me「Young Master」.

But I know it’s her way of showing affection, so there’s no way I can ask her to stop.

By the way, my half-brother is nonchalantly called「Manion-sama」.

The maids don’t like him either, as he’s an unruly and selfish child.

I know that my late mother was one of Daphne and the others’ colleagues, which is one of the reasons why they love me so much.

In this sense, my mother-in-law Yolanda was also a maid working for the Reinbachs, but her originally arrogant personality was spurred on when she became my father’s mistress, and both father and her child are hated by the maids.

「You know, I was wondering if there are any books about magic.」

「Books about magic? I think we have a few in the master room… Are you planning on reading them?」

「That’s right. I’m not very good with swords, so I thought I could use magic… what’s wrong, Daphne!?」

Daphne suddenly burst into tears, and Sam panicked.

He couldn’t help but wonder what part of the conversation had made her cry.

「Hey, Daphne, don’t cry.」

「Ugh… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were so upset… I’m sorry to hear that.」

(Oh, I see what you mean.) 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

It seems that he felt sorry for Sam, who was too young to have any talent with a sword and expected magic to help him.

She felt sorry for Sam because Daphne loved him like a mother and like a sister.

「Oh, don’t cry, Daphne.」

「I’m sorry. Normally, it’s Young Master who should be crying.」

「Oh, yeah, that’s okay, but, uh, do you have a magic book?」

「…I understand. I’ll bring you some magic books without telling the master.」

「Thank you!」

「Ugh… why does the master love such a bad boy instead of Young Master Sam…?」

A small voice seemed to be saying something, but Sam didn’t hear it from the joy of having a magic book in his hands.

(Now I can try my hand at magic! Now… it’s up to my talent!)

Sam prayed that he would have a little bit of magical talent, since his talent with a sword was so devastating.
