In the end, only two people, Fana and Anje, registered in the martial arts tournament. Then, the next day, when the Hero Festival began, the city, which had been bustling from the beginning, became even more lively.

The city is gorgeously decorated, and people dressed in armor that seems to be modeled after the hero’s equipment parade through the main streets. In addition, statues of the hero are installed all over the city, and people offered prayers there.

『As you would expect from a hero. He is still very popular even after his death. It’s very different for a certain someone, right Master?』

(Kuu…… I’m sure I can hold my own against the hero in terms of achievements……! Why is there such a difference?)

『It must be because of popularity.』

(If I knew this would be the case, I should have contributed a little more to my hometown. After leaving my parents’ house, I never went back there. If my hometown in my previous life had become the capital of a major country like this, a Great Sage Festival might have been held.)

『Yes. Then the reincarnation of the great sage could appear dashingly.…. beauties from all over the country will flock to him, and he could have created a huge harem in an instant…! Ah, what a pity…』

As I was lamenting, the people around me suddenly started making noise.

“It’s Hero-sama! Hero-sama!”

“““Hero-sama~~!”””

Eh? Hero?

Across the main street where many people come and go. I saw a young man approaching here on horseback.  He is surrounded by knights who seemed to be acting as his guards. He clearly has an aura that was different from the other hero cosplayers.

Beautiful, silky blonde hair and jewel-like blue eyes. His chiseled face looks like an elaborate statue of God. That figure is exactly the hero Leon, who defeated the Demon King with me――

“…… No, he’s not the real deal.”

For a moment, I thought it was the hero Leon, but it wasn’t. The hero I know is also a beautiful young man with blonde hair and blue eyes, but although they are certainly very similar if you list their characteristics, you can see from a distance that they are not the same person. 

However, the equipment he is wearing may be real. It has a strong shine that cannot be found in replicas, and is definitely made of Orichalcum, which is considered to be a legendary metal.

“He is probably the seventh prince of this country, Orion Alcelal. He is a member of the imperial family with a hero’s bloodline. It is said that the martial arts tournament of the Hero Festival was founded for him. From its beginning to the previous year, he has won four consecutive championships, which is why he is said to be the reincarnation of the hero, Leon.”

Meltera informed me.

I see, he is a descendant of the hero huh. It’s no wonder they are similar. But reincarnation……

『Maybe he was reincarnated just like the Master?』

(That’s not possible.)

『What do you mean?』

(If he is really that hero, he wouldn’t be that bad. The hero Leon was probably the only person in the world at that time who was strong enough to go toe-to-toe with me.)

『I see.』

Amid the loud cheers, the hero and his party came right in front of us.

“Naturally, he will also participate in this martial arts tournament.”

“Maybe we’ll get to fight the hero?”

“Sounds interesting!”

If they win the martial arts tournament, they will receive the Orichalcum hero equipment.

But do they really want to give away such a precious thing?

『If he loses, will they secretly replace it with a replica, or do you think that he will never lose?』

(Will that self proclaimed hero wear that equipment to the competition?)

『I’m sure he will.』

(Then I don’t think he’ll lose that easily.)

Even if his skills are not so good, if he wears that equipment, he will not be able to fall behind against the weakened humans of this era. However, compared to that hero Leon, this guy is a weakling. With the current Fana and Anje, I don’t think he can win.

“““Kyaaahhh, Hero-sama is so cool~~! Please rub my boobies~~!”””

“—Defeat that darn normie!”

I couldn’t help but shout when I suddenly heard such cheers from those beautiful women.

But, a hero and the prince?

He looks super handsome, and no matter how I think about it, he’s too blessed! Moreover, even if those beautiful women said “rub my boobies”, he showed no reaction at all.

I’m sure he’s used to fondling the big breasts of beautiful women around him that is why he doesn’t even seem to care about what they had said.

If it were me, I’d jump into their boobies right now. Kuu, I’m too jealous, I can’t forgive him!

“You two must win! Don’t lose to that self-proclaimed hero!”

“Hey, what’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

“Losing to a younger girl in front of a lot of people…… Fufu, if that happens, he will lose the title of hero, he will be deprived of his equipment, and the people will be  enlightened…… Kukuku, I’ll enjoy his misfortune then……”

“…… Reus-sama, you are being too mean, you know?”

“I see. This child is like Meltera-sama, he is adult on the inside huh.”

“No. I’m a real baby, not even six months old.”

“Whaaat!? That’s an even a crazier pattern you know! What is your name? Where were you born!? How can you speak so fluently!? What about your parents!?”

“Wait……”

Matilua bombarded me with questions, as if her reporter’s soul has exploded.

“When I wrote an article about Meltera-sama, it was a big hit! This might be an even bigger scoop than that! Haa haa!”

Her eyes are bloodshot and she’s breathing heavily. Matilua seems quite excited.

(C-crap…… I may have said something unnecessary to someone who seems to be troublesome……)

『That’s seems to be the case. Why don’t you just be honest and confess the whole truth?』

Naturally, I ignored Lindwurm’s useless suggestions.

“Come to think of it, a while back, there has been an information that a baby adventurer has been born…… It was so absurd that it was dismissed and couldn’t be put in the papers, but I didn’t expect it to be true! Uh-, I, I suddenly feel sleepy…….”

Matilua suddenly began to stagger. She unsteadily sat down on the reception chair nearby and then she fell asleep.

“Reus-sama, did you do something?”

“Yes, it was a bit of a hassle, you see. When she wakes up, she’ll probably think it’s just a dream.”

I forced her to sleep. I’m enjoying a carefree second life to the fullest, it would be terrible when details about me is published in a newspaper and widely disseminated. 

Just as we  are leaving the newspaper office, Fana spoke up.

“Hmm. Martial arts competitions. Do you think we have time for that?”

“That’s right…… We don’t have any information at the moment too……”

Meltera nodded reluctantly.

“That’s settled! My arms are ringing!”

Anje is already swinging her arms in the air, showing her intention of competing.

“They said in the newspaper just now that the Hero Festival starts tomorrow, and the martial arts tournament will start the day after. I wonder if we can still register now?”

When we asked a passerby, we found out that they are accepting participants until today. We were also told about the reception venue.

“That’s the arena.”

“Mmm, it’s so big.”

Then we came to the arena, which is also the venue for the martial arts tournament. It seems that gladiatorial matches and monster-slaying performances are usually held here. It is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, I think.

The registration of contestants was held in one part of the arena.

“I want to participate in a martial arts tournament.”

“Me too!”

“You guys? Sorry, but not everyone can compete.”

““Is that so?””

Fana and Anje were taken aback by what the woman at the reception had said.

“In previous years, we accepted all applicants, but as the number of applicants has increased year by year, we have only accepted those who have a minimum achievement record from this year.”

“What do you mean by achievement record?”

“Oh, for example, if you have achieved a reasonable rank advancement in the previous year, or if you belong to some knightly order, or if you are an adventurer of C-rank or higher.”

Apparently, just being an adventurer doesn’t count.

“Mmm, I’m A Rank.”

“Me too!”

“Huh!? S-sorry about this!”

The woman at the reception hurriedly apologizes to the two of them when they showed her their A-rank adventurer card.

“What about you, Master?”

“I’m not going to join. I don’t want to stand out too much. What about you, Meltera?”

“I’m going to refrain from joining, too.”

“That’s a relief. I don’t think we have a chance to beat you guys……”

Anje looked relieved.

“Then I’ll participate instead. I’m not sure what you’re going to do, but it looks kind of interesting.”

“…… Hmmm, I think it’s best if Lill does not participate.”

“Hn? Is that so?”

If Lill, who is not good at being careful, participates, there will be a lot of casualties.

“This is a newspaper.”

When we entered the newspaper building, I saw a newspaper that had just been published in what appeared to be a lobby. It seems that anyone can read it, so picked it up and look at its contents.

“It’s true that it’s all text, there are some pictures on some parts though. As for the contents, let’s see, let’s see. Eh? ——A mysterious object flying object in the sky was seen! Is it perhaps an ancient airship? ——An A-Rank Adventurer Party finally heads in the Tower of the Great Sage! They achieved the world’s first feat. ——A popular beach was hit by a mass outbreak of sea monsters for an unknown cause. Local fishermen laments that they can no longer go fishing.”

These information sounds familiar…..

“Uhm, there are also others. —The Martial Arts Tournament of the Hero Festival will be held again this year. There are more applicants than ever before.”

Hero Festival?

“Let’s see… Mmmm, it seems to be a festival that takes place every year at this time in this country, and it says that tourists come from all over the world to honor the legendary hero Leon. I see, that long line earlier was because of that.”

As I read the article further, we came to know that a martial arts tournament has been held at this hero festival for several years now. Skilled players from all over the world could compete, and the winner is given the title of “Hero”.

“If you win, you will called a hero?”

“Isn’t that amazing!?”

Fana and Anje’s eyes lit up.

“Moreover, it says that you will be presented with the armor that the heroes of that time were equipped with. But, can they really give out such a precious thing?”

“Mmm, I have to go.”

“That’s right. My warrior blood is boiling!”

Somehow, both of them are full of enthusiasm. But Meltera shook her head from side to side.

“No. I’m sorry, but we don’t have time for that. We need to get to the next site right away be—”

“Oh, Meltera-sama, you’re back!”

Suddenly, I heard a cheerful voice, and when I turned around, there was a woman with a cheerful expression dressed in tight clothes.

“Matilua-sama. We have solved the mass outbreak of monsters.”

The woman, who was called Matilua, was apparently a reporter for this newspaper.

“Really? I want you to tell me more!”

While concealing the fact that it was a taboo item, Meltera talks about the vortex that was in the depths of the undersea temple.

“So that’s how it went.”

“I see! The cause of the sudden outbreak of sea monsters is a mysterious vortex that creates monsters! Thanks to the effort of our A-rank adventurers, peace has returned to the seaside! But the mystery remains. What exactly is that vortex? What on earth is the nature of that vortex?”

Though left with questions, Matilua is still happy to be able to get the latest information.

“Thanks to Meltera-sama, we have good news!”

“No, no, thank you also for giving me such information. By the way, has there been any other interesting cases like that?”

The newspaper is said to be published weekly, that is, only once a week. Therefore, if we wait for the newspaper to be released, there will inevitably be a time lag. I don’t know how they met, but it seems that Meltera got her information directly from Matilua, a reporter.

“You’ve just come back from solving the case, but you’re already gearing up for a new work? I don’t know the details of the situation, but you shouldn’t overdo it, you know?”

“I got young body, so I don’t mind being a little overwhelmed.”

“That’s another reason. You’re a little too young, you know.”

Matilua smiled wryly, and then she said,

“Hmm~, let’s see…… I don’t think there’s anything that Meltera-sama would want at the moment.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. By the way…… I haven’t seen these people around here before.”

It was only then that Matilua’s attention turned to us.

“They are also A-rank adventurers, and it is actually mostly thanks to them that we were able to solve this case.”

“That’s amazing! All of you are A-rank adventurers huh. You’re all very young too! …… Wait, what about this baby?”

“I’m also an A-rank adventurer Oneesan.”

“Ahhhhhh! The baby spoke!”

Meltera has been talking for a while now too you know.

Leon the Hero. That is the man who once defeated a vicious demon known as the Demon King with me.

“Heh~. So that’s where he’s from huh.”

“Yes. Now he is a legendary figure, revered like a god.”

I rarely had a chance to see him after defeating the Demon King, and I had only heard that he died decades before I died. Apparently, the village where the hero was born has now developed into the largest country in the world.

『It’s very different from Master whose Tower of the Great Sage collapsed. Perhaps it’s the difference in popularity?』

Lindwurm, you’re too harsh.

(He was certainly a good man. And apparently, he turned down the courtship of a beautiful princess and married his childhood friend from his family home.… Damn, I’m jealous of those two choices to the point of death… Uu!)

By the way, if it were me, I would choose the one with the larger breasts.

“And the royal family that currently rules that country is said to be the descendants of the hero.”

『It seems that the hero met a happy end while being watched over by many children and grandchildren…… On the other hand, Master could not leave even a single child. Maybe you’re still a virgin?』

T-there’s no way I’m a virgin, you know!?

“……Ah, I can see it now.”

It seems that we have arrived at the imperial capital.

“Wow, it’s a magnificent city.”

Looking down from the sky, I let out an exclamation. It is surrounded by thick walls and is crammed with tall buildings. However, it never felt cluttered, and it gave the impression of being very orderly. The roads are also built in straight lines, and I am sure that it has developed under a clear urban plan.

We descend to the ground a short distance from the city and walk along the road to the city gate. It seems that there are seven castle gates in total, and the road that starts from there extends to every corner of this country.

“Hey! There’s a long line!”

“Mmm.”

“That’s true…… Normally, it shouldn’t be this long……”

There was a queue in front of the castle gate. It seems that the checkpoint is taking a long time due to the large number of people trying to enter the city. 

If you have a special permit, you can go inside without going through a checkpoint, but that’s not the case for those of us who are new to this city I guess.

“Don’t worry, if you have an A-rank or higher level Adventurer’s Guild Card, you can use it as a permit.”

“Is that so?”

By the way, Meltera is also an A-rank adventurer.

“I can’t believe there are two A-rank adventurer babies…… Just what is really going on……?”

“Aside from Reus-sama, I’m registered with my real age.”

Apparently, when she first visited the Adventurer’s Guild here, they were naturally very surprised. However, when she told them that she just looked young but was a high elf who had lived for hundreds of years, they were quite easily convinced.

“It’s more convenient that way.”

『Shouldn’t Master do the same?』

(I firmly refuse.)

We then went inside without waiting in line and head to a certain building with the guidance of Meltera.

“What is this place?”

“It’s a newspaper company.”

“……Newspaper company?”

I tilt my head at the unfamiliar words.

“A newspaper is a periodical printed publication that contains the latest political trends, events, or unusual information.”

“Oh, something like that.”

“This newspaper company, Arcelal Journal, is the forerunner of such newspapers. The company sends reporters that handles information from all over the world. That’s why there is such a company in other countries as well.”

Fana muttered,

“Speaking of which, someone was reading it at the Adventurer’s Guild in Vegaltia.”

“That flimsy piece of paper!?”

Anje nods in response. Many adventurers travel around the world. Apparently, they sell newspapers to adventurer guilds as well.

“Have you read it Oneechan? What was in them?”

“……I haven’t read it. I don’t even feel like reading.”

“Me too…… it’s just full of words after all!”

Even though it is being sold, it seems that only few adventurers read it.

Meltera’s magic froze the sea, wiping out all the demons in no time. Come to think of it, Meltera was good at ice-based magic. But I didn’t expect her to be able to use such great magic so easily……

Maybe it’s because of the long lifespan of the High Elves, but she seem to have gotten even better since I died.

“Most of the fishes around here should have survived so there will be no problems with the fishing industry.”

Unlike the monsters, the small-bodied fish were able to escape through cracks in the ice. Of course, they are frozen together now, but they are in a state of asphyxia, and when they thaw, they will start moving again.

“That’s amazing! You can use magic like that!”

Anje’s eyes light up and she joyfully picks up Meltera.

“……Uhm, Anje-sama, as I said before, I am an adult on the inside.”

Meltera seems to be a little dissatisfied with being treated as a baby.

“Oh, my fault…… But it’s not going to change anything, isn’t it?”

Anje said so as she hugs Meltera tightly.

“Oneechan! I don’t mind if you hold me anytime!”

“I’m not talking to you.”

“That’s mean. I’m a baby too!”

Being rejected coldly, I involuntarily protested.

No to discrimination against babies! Every baby has the right to  be cuddled!

“Rather than that, Reus-sama, I want to get back to land, so please take care of the rest.”

“……Fireball!”

When I casted my spell, the spherical flames melted the ice in front of us in an instant. Then there was a hole that led to the beach, and we walked through it. The beach was in an uproar. After all, it is not surprising that the sea suddenly froze.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this! What on earth is going on in the sea with this massive monster outbreak…?!”

“Hey look, the adventurers are back!”

“Y-you’re right! They are all safe?”

The locals greeted us with surprise.

“It’s okay now Ojiisan. We’ve eliminated the cause of the outbreak and I think we have defeated most of the sea monsters that were in the sea.”

“Y-You mean you guys are responsible for this frozen sea?”

“Yes. You guys should be able to resume fishing when the ice melts.”

It’s warm season now so it won’t take long for the ice to melt. As for the monsters that have landed on the beach, they should be able to manage on their own. Aquatic monsters aren’t very strong when dealing with them on land.

“But I need to get the beach peaceful as soon as possible so that the swimmers can come back!”

“No, Reus-sama, we don’t have time for that.”

“Eh?”

“While we’re doing this, the enemy is using dangerous items all over the place, and the damage could be spreading. We can’t afford to sit idly by.”

“No way….…”

And so, we quickly left the beach where peace had been restored and flew in the sky through the magic airship.

……Thinking of a beach filled with beautiful women in swimsuits, I desperately resisted, but when I was told that it would take a considerable amount of time before it could be used as a beach again, I reluctantly agreed.

By the way, I told Fana and the others that Meltera was a survivor in the Tower of the Great Sage and that she is working to find the dangerous magical tools and research records from that time that were stolen.

“That’s terrible, isn’t it? We have to help!”

“It’s kind of suspicious, you know? You’re so trusting of an elf you just met. You took us to that tower too…. don’t tell me, you are actually one of the survivors?”

“Babu?”

Oh. Where are we headed again?

“The Alcelal Empire?”

“Yes. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the world’s leading powers at the present time. The Empire attracts a variety of information from all over the world, so I use it as a base of operation.”

She would spend her days getting information about incidents that seemed to be caused by taboo items and travels to the scene to check it out.

『She is quite different from the guy who was only chasing after young women’s breasts.』

(I didn’t know the situation at that time so it can’t be helped. But still, Alcelal Empire? I’ve never heard of that country.)

It may be a country that was established after I died in my previous life. 

However, I feel like I heard that name somewhere before…….

“It was not a country at first. It used to be a small village, but it was also a well-known village.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. After all, that country, formerly Alcelal village, is the birthplace of the hero Leon.”

Fana has been the one who has hugged me the most so far. It’s not just when she’s dressed. Sometimes she would hold me even when she is naked. I’m the only one who can do that. Her breasts are my special seat.

That’s what I thought, but—

M-my special seat…… has been stolen by Melteraaaa!?

Right in front of me, another baby is being held by Fana. The baby’s true identity is Meltera, a high elf who was my apprentice in my previous life.

“No way……”

As I am overwhelmed with despair, Lindwurm talked to me in an exasperated voice.

『Master, to put it bluntly, that’s disgusting. What do you mean by special seat?』

(Lately, Anje has been so wary that she stopped hugging me! Fana is the only one who is still holding me unguarded…… Uuu!)

『Serves you right.』

I appealed to Meltera with my mind.

(That’s my special seat!? Why are you in there without my permission!?)

“By the way, Fana-sama, the truth is, that baby over there is actually —”

(Gyaaaaah! H-hold on! Don’t say thaaaaaaaaaaat!)

This is the end. Meltera knows about my past life so she has a hold on my weakness. It would be counterproductive to make her angry. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it.

“…… Sniff, sniff.”

“Master, why are you crying?”

“Lill…… That’s right…… I still have you.”

Lill is my pet. Unlike Fana, I’m sure she’ll only hold me. I jumped into Lill’s chest half crying. After that, we cleared out the monsters in the undersea temple.

“But this is going to be a lot of work……”

“Mmm. There are more in the open sea.”

Now that the Monster Vortex has disappeared, there is no need to worry about new monsters being born, but there are still quite a few of those monsters  that already exist. If we don’t clean them up, there will be no peace in this sea.

『It should be easy with Master’s wide-area extermination magic.』

(Yeah……)

『What’s the matter? Why are you giving me such a nonchalant reply?』

(Because……)

I look at Anje with a blank look. She was holding the baby Meltera in her voluptuous breasts.

(Even Anje is holding her! I haven’t been held by her at all lately! What’s more, she should know that Meltera is an adult inside!)

『Men and women are different in the first place.』

(That’s mean! It’s gender discrimination!)

『Plus, there is an obscene feeling from Master.』

(That’s enough! As expected, I only have Lill!)

While I was having such an exchange with Lindwurm, Meltera said.

“If it’s the destruction of the monsters, leave it to me.”

“Is there any good way to do it?”

“Yes, but let’s leave the temple first. …… Also, I can walk on my own, so it is okay if you put me down, you know?”

“Don’t worry about it! You won’t secretly touch my breasts! I’ll carry you outside!”

“…… All right, I’ll take up your offer.”

Apparently, Anje found out that I had been secretly fondling her breasts while she was holding me.

『Then isn’t it only normal for you to be rejected? 』

Then, as we stepped out of the first hole we had entered, Meltera began to deploy some kind of large-scale magic circle. After putting up a barrier around us,

“Then I’ll start. ――Death Pulse!”

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding sea froze in the blink of an eye. Noticing the approaching freezing, the monster desperately tries to escape, but is soon caught up and trapped in an ice cage. Before we knew it, the sea had completely frozen, except for the inside of the barrier we were in.

“—Break!”

As Meltera muttered, countless cracks appeared in the frozen sea.

The frozen body of the monster are of no exception.

“Phew. By the time the ice melts, most of the monsters should be dead.”

“When I woke up at that time, I searched around the world while struggling to adjust to the fragile body of the baby. And as a result, I found traces of taboo items in various places. I was convinced that the culprit had begun to move. I just haven’t been able to catch his tail yet. Then, I met a person who was called the Saint of this era. She told me a prophecy.”

Meltera looks straight at me.

“It was a prophecy that Great Sage-sama would be reincarnated in this era.”

“I see….”

“I never thought that you would be reincarnated in this era. I am sure that this is also the guidance of the gods.”

“But even though I looked like a baby, you knew right away that it was me.”

“I don’t think there’s any other baby out there who can wipe out that evil vortex in an instant.”

There’s another one in front of me though.

“Besides, I thought that if we both followed the case of the taboo items, we would eventually meet up.”

While we were having such an exchange, Fana and the others came down.

“…… It was dizzying.”

“Hey, don’t get us caught up in your magic!”

“As expected of Master. I didn’t expect that you can cast such magic in an instant.”

I hurriedly appealed to Meltera via telepathy.

(Hey, I told them that I don’t remember my previous life so please be nice and don’t expose me okay? I didn’t tell them that I was once a great sage. My name is Reus now.)

『?,  Why?』

(Well, uhm, how do I put it…… )

This is because if it is known that I have been reincarnated with the memories and personality of my previous life, I will not be able to enjoy such skinship a baby can do. I’m sure every man would understand…… but I don’t think Meltera will understand.

『If it is known that he has been reincarnated with the memories and personality of his previous life, he will not be able to enjoy any skinship as a baby…… That seems to be the reason, Meltera-sama.』

(Hey, Linlin?)

『I see…… That’s why they all have big breasts huh. It was the right thing to rejuvenate in this figure.』

Meltera gives me a disdainful look.

“W-wait, there’s one more baby!?”

When a baby elf appeared in the depths of the undersea temple, Anje exclaimed in surprise.

“My name is Meltera. Nice meeting you.”

“She can speak normally too!? I didn’t expect that there is another baby who can talk…… Then, maybe it’s not really unusual……?”

“No, that can’t be true. It’s probably just me and Ari-…… Reus-sama.”

“She speaks so politely that I can’t believe she’s just a baby……”

“That’s right. I may look like a baby, but inside, I’m an adult. I used a special magic to rejuvenate my body in this form.”

“I-is that even possible? Hn? That means….…”

Anje stared at me.

“I, I don’t use that kind of magic!”

“Really? That magic can explain all my doubts up until now though.”

“It’s true! I’m telling the truth!”

I’m not lying. I’m a reincarnation.

“Then why do you seem to know this elf baby?”

“Hiccup.”

Shocks. Anje is sharp despite being a muscle brain…….

Lately, she’s already starting to be suspicious and wary of me, but this makes it even harder for me to hold her…….But there should be no problem, I still have Fana—

“Mmm, cute.”

Fana murmured as she picked up Meltera.

“Elf baby?”

“No, I am a High Elf.”

“Really? A little noble huh.”

“That’s right…… I guess you can think of it that way.”

As I stared at them dumbfounded, I stumbled in shock. I screamed in my heart.

M-my special seat…… has been stolen by Melteraaaa!?

“Even after the death of Great Sage-sama, the Tower of the Great Sage as a magical research institution continued to exist for a while. But that only lasted about 50 years.”

Fifty years is a long time. Well, in the sense of the High Elves, it must be short.

“The reason for the collapse was that the disciples began to fight among themselves to determine the next great sage…… I said disciples, but as 50 years have passed, they have naturally changed greatly from when Great Sage-sama was still alive. As a High Elf, I was already in the position of an elder, and I was feted as a strong candidate for the new Great Sage.”

But she refused.

“As someone who has seen the power of the true Great Sage up close, I understood that I was not worthy of it, and I left the tower because I was beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the tower, which had changed from the past.…… In hindsight, that was a big mistake.”

Meltera sighed heavily, as if regretting something.

“As the oldest of the bunch, and as someone who has received direct instruction from the Great Sage, I should have been responsible for the government of the tower.”

“…… What happened in the tower after that?”

“I have not seen or heard it with my own eyes, but a great battle broke out over the position of the next Great Sage, and in the midst of this, a certain someone stole all the forbidden items that were supposed to be kept under strict security.”

“What!?”

When the members of the tower learned of this, they immediately pursued the culprit, but in the end they could not find him.

“Since then, the Tower of the Great Sage has rapidly lost its power as an organization, and one by one, the members left the tower until no one was left.”

It was said to be about 70 years after I died.

“I am well aware of the dangers of the taboo items, because there are things that could destroy the world if handled incorrectly. Naturally, I continued to search for the culprit for decades.”

But I couldn’t get hold of his tail at all.

“In fact, I couldn’t find any evidence that a taboo item has been used somewhere.”

“You mean, the culprit did not use them? Then, why did he steal it in the first place?”

“No, I guess he decided to wait for the time to come.”

“What do you mean?”

“With most of the demon tribes annihilated and humanity freed from war, they had certainly been weakened at that time. But even so, there were still many who were still powerful.”

“I see. So, after there were fewer people who could fight, he was ready to use the taboo objects without any worries. That’s pretty clever. Then, does that mean he thought that now is the time…?”

The other taboo items that I encountered, including “Monster vortex”…. Is it really the work of that culprit……?

“How long do you think it’s been since then?”

Not only is he a very patient guy, but a normal human wouldn’t have that lifespan in the first place.

“I don’t know the details of how the perpetrator survived to this age, but as long as he has a taboo item at hand, it should not be impossible.”

“…… That’s right.”

If you think about Eudemos and Meltera, there are many ways to do it.

“I also entered the state of rejuvenation dormancy so that I can wake up at this time when the perpetrator is on the move.”

“Huh? How did you know the timing?”

“It is by astrology, which I have been studying for many years. I have seen a star that clearly indicates the turmoil of this age.”

Astrology huh……

It is a type of divination that is said to be only available to those with special talents. I’m sure it was because Meltera was a high elf that she was able to hit it with such accuracy.

It wasn’t the plump-breasted beauty high elf who was there. It was a shorty elf baby.

“Eh? What’s going on? I’m sure it was Meltera’s voice……”

“Yes, I am Meltera, Great Sage-sama.”

“No, no, no. How can someone with such a small breasts be Meltera!?”

I involuntarily screamed at the baby.

“…… Can you please not judge people by the size of their breasts?”

Then the elf glared at me with eyes that didn’t look that of a baby’s.

“Eyes that look like they’re looking at a trash…… Uh-, i-it’s definitely Meltera….…”

When I looked closely, I can see that the face of the baby looks exactly like Meltera. She very much younger, but her voice is still the same.

“But, what’s going on!? Don’t tell me, you succeeded in rejuvenation magic!? Kuu, no, if that was the case, why did you choose to become a baby? You should have appeared more grown up, you know!? It’s ridiculous to throw away those breasts!”

“Sigh…… Even if you are reincarnated, it seems that you are still the same, Great Sage-sama….…”

As I raised my voice, Meltera (the baby) sighed deeply.

『I’m sorry, Meltera-sama. Apparently, death couldn’t cure Master’s perversion.』

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Lindwurm…… Sigh. Yeah, its seems that’s the case. I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’re having.”

『No. This is the path I chose after all. Even so, congratulations. I’m surprised that you’ve managed to complete the rejuvenation magic that even your former master gave up on.』

Old friends, Meltera and Lindwurm, proceed with a conversation on their own.

Hey, please don’t ignore me~.

“Thank you very much, but there are still many flaws in it. It is hard to say that it is completed. After all, in order to rejuvenate the body, it takes a long time equivalent to the period required for aging, and during that time, it becomes impossible to do anything.”

“Does that mean you’ve been asleep somewhere for a long time?”

“That’s right. I had been alive for a certain amount of time to begin with, so I was also in a dormant state for a long time. I woke up just six months ago.”

『Dormant huh. Just like me then.』

So that is why she was considered to be dead. High elves have a long lifespan, so she must have a long time to go back.

“But there is no need to go back that far you know!”

“It would have been best for me to have grown a little more, but I wasn’t able to make adjustments that precisely. As a result, I woke up about a month old.”

“Gnununu……”

However, even if it has its flaws, creating a spell like that is impressive. In other words, Meltera is like having eternal life.

“I’m impressed that you, Great Sage-sama, have been able to truly succeed with reincarnation magic.”

“Unlike rejuvenation, there were times when I was in trouble because I couldn’t control where I could be reincarnated. But to be honest, it was quite a gamble.”

“Leaving my body defenseless for hundreds of years was quite a gamble as well. Of course, I took appropriate precautions.”

I now understand why Meltera has become a baby and is living in this era. However, there are some things that just don’t make sense.

“About that. I thought you weren’t interested in eternal life……”

“Yes, that’s true. But circumstances have arisen that made me no longer say that.”

“What do you mean?”

“That was after Great Sage-sama passed away…… It is a story that stems from what happened to the Tower of the Great Sage.”

“……to the Tower of the Great Sage?”

Eudemos had recreated the scene of that time, but the organization was long gone. Meltera then told me the truth about how the Tower of the Great Sage came to a collapse.

Deep in the undersea temple.

We came out into a room that looked like a vast chapel. There is an altar in the inner part, and under normal circumstances it would have been a place with a sacred atmosphere. But now it had been transformed into an ominous space.

“…… A vortex?”

“I feel a tremendous magical power in there……”

What was there was something like a jet-black vortex. A black mist that emits an enormous amount of magical power continues to rotate in circles.

“Those monsters…… are being created?”

Lill mutters, furrowing her eyebrows. One by one, monsters were springing up from the mist.

(It’s just as I thought.)

『Master, do you recognize that?』

(Yeah. It is a ‘monster vortex’ that can continue to create monsters indefinitely…… it’s a taboo in my previous life.)

Theoretically, if left alone, it will continue to generate monsters forever, making it a very dangerous thing.

『…… But why is it in this place? No. Let’s think about that later. We have to destroy this thing first.』

Even now, a new monster has been created and attacks us. Lill fights off the fish monster with a single punch. If this thing is left alone, more monsters will emerge, but the way to stop them is simple. We just have to break this vortex.

“Guys, if you destroy that vortex, the monsters will stop emerging.”

“Mmm, got it.”

“Then it’s easy!”

Fana slashed her sword into the vortex, and Anje slammed her fist into the vortex. However, their attack slips through the vortex that has no substance.

“It did not hit?”

“Uh-, we can’t attack it then!?”

“Physical attacks won’t work, it has to be magic.”

“You should have said that sooner!”

“Also, attacking it will increase the pace at which it spits out monsters.”

“Whaaat!?”

Immediately afterwards, several monsters appeared at once. And it didn’t stop there. One after another, monsters appeared and rushed at us.

“It can sense danger and will try to get rid of the enemy.”

“Say that sooner!”

Fana and Anje struggle against the hordes of monsters that have rushed in. On the other hand, Lill is unaffected by them, but as she can only use physical attacks, she is unable to damage the vortex.

“Muu…… we can’t destroy it.”

“Well, leave it to me.”

The three of them took care of the monsters, so I can shoot as much magic as I want. Perhaps sensing the heightened magical power, a fish monster approached me from the vortex with the momentum of a torpedo.

“Too late. Underwater tornado.”

A fierce stream of water swung in the opposite direction of the vortex. It drowns out the vortex of monsters. Eventually, when the water subsided, the black vortex was completely gone.

“No more monsters should be coming out now. Of course, the monsters that already emerged are still there so we’ll have to do a thorough cleanup….. eh?”

When I looked back, I couldn’t see Fana and the others.

『Master, they got caught up with it.』

“Ah-”

When I looked in the direction that Lindwurm pointed at, I saw that they were near the high ceiling of the chapel. It seemed that they have been swallowed up by the current of water and were dizzy. They slowly and weakly fell towards me.

“Oh sorry, my mistake.”

I involuntarily covered my face.

“I thought the vortex suddenly disappeared…… so it was your doing after all.”

Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind me. It’s not the voice of Fana or Angier nor Lill. But the voice sounded familiar.

“N-No way….…”

I remember. The remnants of the magical power from earlier…… It’s no surprise that I found it familiar. After all, it was the magic of my number one disciple in my previous life.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Great Sage Aristotereus. No, have you been reincarnated and taken on a different name now?”

“Hehe, so were you alive after all, Meltera?”

When I heard that she had died a long time ago in the elven village, I was not convinced. I know she must still be alive somewhere. There is no basis for it, but somehow I thought so.

Then I look back, grateful to be able to worship those magnificent large breasts again. After all, now that I am a baby, she may be able to hold me in her arms.

But there was—

“……Eh? Where are your breasts……?”

Small face and body.

Short limbs.

Not only does she has no breasts, but her height is almost the same as that of a baby.

—Wrong, there is no mistake, it’s an elven baby!
