The guild leader asked with a serious look on his face.
“Who exactly are you? Even though you are just a baby, your strength surpassed even the famous S-rank adventurers. Moreover, you were the one who taught Colette the treatment for the magic circuit and taught blacksmith Zeta that unprecedented blacksmithing technique, right?”
Eh? Did he find out something?
“It makes sense to say that you are the reincarnation of the legendary sage. No, in fact, it would be more strange if you are not.”
Aside from teaching that treatment and blacksmithing technique, I haven’t told anyone yet that I was known as the Great Sage in my previous life.
“Was that written in the letter?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.”
In other words, the Brazel family is aware of that.
But if that’s the case, why did they abandoned me right after I was born?
I don’t really know the details, but given that they’re trying to bring me back now, it’s reasonable to assume that they found out about it in some way after they threw me away.
“I understand that you don’t want to talk much about yourself. However, I think it’s better for me to know about it if possible, so I know how to deal with the Brazel family. Don’t worry. Of course, I’m not going to tell it to a second soul. I owe you a lot of things after all. I don’t mind if you want me to sign a magic contract.”
“……”
Lindwurm spoke.
『Master, I’ve been in a dormant state for a while, so I don’t know much about this guy, but he doesn’t seem to have any malicious intent. 』
(Well, yes, I think so too. The other party is a man too so I don’t mind telling him. Every man has a desire to be reborn as a baby and enjoy a woman’s breasts with his whole body. I’m sure he’ll understand.)
『……Is that what you are worried about? 』
I nodded.
“Well, they are right. In my previous life, I am Aristotereus, the Great Sage. After years of researching reincarnation magic, I finally succeeded and now I’m in the form of a baby. So rather than a reincarnation, I guess it would be better to say I’m the real me?”
“-uh…… W-What…..?!”
The guild leader was so shocked.
Then he suddenly got out of the chair he was sitting on, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head.
“I can’t believe you are the legendary sage……”
“Stop. It’s fine the way it was. I’m finally freed from the grand position of being a Great Sage and I’m happy living a free-spirited baby life like this.”
“I-, I see……”
“In my previous life, I couldn’t even walk around the city or town freely. I was always recruited by royalty, churches and organizations here and there. I was targeted by demons and I had to save the world. It was really tough. That is why I wanted to live as inconspicuously as possible this time.”
“(…… But I think you are already more than conspicuous enough for that, right?)”
The guild leader tilts his head for some reason.
Did I say something weird?
“I was already conscious from birth but I couldn’t speak yet. I was immediately abandoned near the Demon Forest you see.”
“W-why would they do something like that….?”
“They misunderstood that I have low magic aptitude value. Well, they misread the memory.”
“But still…. abandoning a baby because of that…… Sigh. Well, that is typical of the Brazel family, I guess….…”
By the way, it seems that magic aptitude is thought to be immutable after birth, but that’s not actually the case. If you receive treatment for your magic circuits, your aptitude will naturally increase dramatically.
In this world, it seemed that there was no treatment of the magic circuit itself, and because of this, it was thought that the aptitude value upon birth would never increase.
“But you managed to survive well in the Demon Forest, didn’t you?”
“I was at the level of a real baby both physically and magically, and it was really dangerous. But thankfully, the staff I used in my previous life came to my aid and I was lucky to meet a monster that fed me, so I managed to get through it. After spending about two months there, I was able to speak and fight, and then I decided to leave the forest.”
“I see…. Then you made to a lot of success in Volante afterwards huh…… (I thought he was reincarnated with his power on his previous life, but apparently not. Still, in just two months, he went from scratch to a level where he can become an adventurer…… What a monster.)”
