Chapter 5 - Magic is Not For Me

"Let go of me! I beg you... let me go! Bagas will come here and kill all of you if you don't let me go!"

"Hahaha. Do we care?"

"BAGAS..."

It was an incident where my girlfriend was killed by people from that country, the country where Ryuki was.

It's been twelve years since the death of my girlfriend, and it all happened because of my carelessness, not realizing that they were people from that country.

To be honest, we were very happy at that time. I proposed to her and she agreed to marry me. However, it never happened, the marriage never happened. She left me because she was killed by them. And me, I didn't manage to save her. It was the darkest moment of my life. I won't forget that. I will never forget how I felt at that time. I... trust humans too easily.

And the incident happened again.

Five years ago, I died because I was betrayed by them, my superiors. I was once again betrayed by the humans I trusted. It hurts to feel this way. I can only be angry, sad, disappointed, and how stupid I am. I feel that I am not very useful to live as a human being.

I was betrayed, and as a result of that, I lost my girlfriend and my life. It happened because it was too easy to trust humans.

"You really can't do that, huh?"

At the age of seven, Ernesto has obtained extraordinary magic. This world is not the world I know, but another world. For that, I was quite surprised to know that I was reborn into this world, a world that has magic.

"It's wonderful, my son."

"You make us proud, Ernesto."

Yeah, Androcles and Cecelia are very proud of what Ernesto did. They were happy to see their son was able to cast magic at the age of 7 years. It was an achievement for Ernesto to be proud of. They were happy, and Ernesto was happy because he had magic.

"Of course."

Since he asked whether I have magic or not, I answered that honestly.

"Really?" He approached me. "It's very easy to use. It just flows in this body. It's like... when you have more stamina, you can bring out that stamina. Yeah, sort of. Or maybe it's called energy from within this body."

"Of course, I feel that way right now," I replied.

By the way, since I stopped wetting the bed 1 year ago, and it doesn't make the teddy bear suffer anymore, I wear pants with no pants. Yeah, I'm not afraid to show it. Because after all, I am still 7 years old, I am still holy.

"Just show it!" He ordered, and I realized that Androcles and Cecelia expected that from me too.

"Watch this carefully!"

"Okay."

Something flows inside my body. It felt like it was time to get out. It felt like something certain, that it was bound to come out. It will be out in a moment. Soon. I've been holding on to this all this time.

"It's coming."

And at that instant, I turned around and thrust my ass at them.

PREEEETTT!

Yeah, that's fart. I've been holding back since Ernesto showed off his wind magic in front of Androcles and Cecelia.

"U-Ugh..."

I also have magic, it's wind magic, but my wind magic smells much better than Ernesto's fresh-feeling magic. My wind magic comes from my ass. That is why it is so dangerous for anyone who inhales it.

"Oh, relief."

My faces looked happy and relieved at having managed to get most of it out, but they seemed uncomfortable with the smell of my wind magic. They cover their noses. That's what happened because they were right behind me.

To be honest, I don't have magic. That's how I feel so far. Ernesto even explained what happened to him, but I still couldn't do that. Somehow I don't feel anything in this body of mine.

Ernesto kept saying that it just flowed through his body, which seemed to be able to be taken out and stored by him at any moment. If he wants to use it, he just needs to take it out. If he doesn't use it, he just needs to save it. It wouldn't cause his body to explode.

Magic, in this world, has various kinds of magic. Some magics use all four elements and two special elements. The element that is often used is Water because it will help agriculture and livestock in their work. In addition, magic is divided into 3 types.

First, attack magic. Attack magic focuses on attacking. Yeah, it lives up to the name. With attack magic, you can use it for various things, including injuring your enemies. To be honest, it's cool, but I doubt that magic of that type is used in any good way. To attack, which means war.

Second, support magic. This magic has so many uses, especially to heal someone who is injured. Just like the medical team, who swiftly healed the victims of war, someone possessing this type of magic would be of great help. Because after all, what helps humans is the best, which can be done in the back row so that there is no need to go to war. That way, even if you're not as famous as a superhero, you've at least helped the superhero to win the battle. You deserve to be appreciated for your help.

Summoning magic. I don't know what will be called using that type of magic, but clearly, it can summon something. It's like summoning a monster or a human. If you are a user of this type of magic, you can summon something. If I had that type of magic, I would summon a Dinosaur. Yeah, that's cool. But, it seemed impossible, because I didn't feel anything welling up inside me, whether that was what Ernesto called stamina or that energy or whatever.

Ernesto, formerly known as Ryuki, who is an army Major, seems to have attack-type magic. With the wind he generates, which he emits, he can attack anyone in its path. Maybe he could make a ball of wind and hit the person in front of him with it. It's like a game of throwing grenades—I mean, it's like a game of throwing snowballs.

"What are you doing, idiot!?"

It seems Ernesto was annoyed with what I did. However, I can only be honest with myself that I don't have that.

"What else can I do? I don't have that. I have no wind flowing in my body. I only have that wind, which will come out of my ass."

I don't know what they thought when they saw these two 7-year-olds fighting each other, but I'm sure they would still think of me and Ernesto as just kids.

I would love to say that I am not from this world to Androcles and Cecelia. I want to say that, that I was reborn into this world. But, now that I think about it when I say that, I don't want them to call me crazy.

For that, I just follow this path only. I get breast milk from Cecelia, grow up with this body, live as Arsenio, and breathe every moment in this world. Most importantly and the fact that happened to me right now is, I died 7 years ago on that battlefield.

Maybe Ryuki thought the same thing too. He knew that he had died 7 years ago, then was reborn as the son of Androcles and Cecelia, and became Ernesto. He was resigned to what he received in the previous world. He was betrayed and killed, then reborn into another world and became my twin brother.

His prayer was accomplished, he was truly reborn and became my relative. It was incredible. I think he is the most tormented human being, so that's probably why his prayers were answered.

If you ask whether this is appropriate for me or not, I don't even know the answer to that. I just followed the flow and behaved as usual.

You're saying that I should enjoy this life? I don't even know what awaits me out there. So, I'm not sure if I need to enjoy life in this new world or not. For now, I know nothing but the magic Ernesto described. And I know that during this period of growing up, I was living in this stressful house.

I often get lost in this house. I was able to walk successfully when I was 3.5 years old. When I managed to do that, I feel very happy. It was something I wanted since being in this world. However, when I only walked a few steps, I got lost in this house. That's something ridiculous.

This house is no ordinary house. This is a castle located in a remote area, close to a village, and very far from the city. The castle is very large and even has several maids who have to clean every corner of the castle. Even for them, those maids, I often see them getting lost in this castle too. I looked and found them lost in this castle, but they still looked fine and hid that they were lost. The maids in this castle are truly extraordinary. So, it wasn't just me who got lost in this castle while walking, but they too.

I didn't even know that this castle had a large enough living room, maybe 50 people.

But strangely, that didn't apply to Ernesto.

I realized that he was able to read the structure of this castle well. I believe it was his former ability, which lived as Ryuki. He knows every detail of this castle, so whenever I want to go to this place and that, I tell him to help me. His ability to read the structure of this place was extraordinary. In other words, he was an army Major, capable of commanding 7,000 men.

"You should be doing this, not doing that."

He showed his magic again for the umpteenth time in front of me.

"Darling, look at that! Ernesto is teaching his brother to do that."

"Yeah, baby. Ernesto is our son to be proud of."

"Yes, Darling. But, Arsenio also deserves to be proud. He was able to remain calm in front of Ernesto's magic. He's our very calm son… even if he's silly at times."

"Yeah, Baby. We have sons that we can be proud of. I'm grateful to have you, Baby."

"Me too, Darling."

I would love to smack something into those kissing in front of their sons. I saw that, but they still do it. And to make matters worse, Ernesto, who had previously shown his magic in front of me, turned around quickly and looked at them with a perverted gaze.

"Hehehe..."

He seems to have an antenna to notice perverted things. He was quick to see things like that. He is very dangerous for a 7-year-old.

"Baby, how about we hire a magic teacher instead?"

"That's a great idea, Darling. That way, Ernesto would increase his magic. And just maybe, Arsenio will get his magic too."

"That's what I thought, Baby."

"You have a great idea, Darling."

Once again, after talking that, Androcles and Cecelia kissed.

"Hehehe… They kissed. Hehehe. Our mom and dad kissed. Hehehe. Are they going to make a new child?"

I was disgusted by his words and lewd face. That's why I farted once again to break this all up.

"Hehehe…" I laughed with satisfaction.

Are you the only one who can laugh, Ernesto!?
