 The Princess was completely stunned by a 10 to 12-year-old boy who single-handedly killed a group of bandits with levels averaging around 17. What surprised her, even more, was the scale of magic the boy used. He vanished in a blink of an eye and has perfect control over earth base magic from what she saw inside the carriage, the boy's hands were enveloped by a thin layer of mana. As he ripped off a chunk of metal and molded it into a wire to tie up the bandit but the metal that was used for the carriage when elven steel infused with magic, not even a level 100 mage would be able to put a scratch in it let alone rip off a chunk the more she thought about what the boy did the more interested she was towards him.

The princess replied. "I'm Kichona Yuiitsu. I'm the sole daughter of the royal family Kichona and my father is the current King Kichona Shinmitsuna. On behalf of my royal family, I thank you Akihito Reiki." As the princess said these words she made a slight bow towards Reiki while he was inspecting the princess, she had a slim but not too slim nose, big and beautiful eyes, and perfectly shaped lips. Her pale complexion indicates that the princess rarely comes out of the palace, unlike the two other females that Reiki met such as Kireina and Ketsueki. 

Yuiitsu is lacking in volume but her proportions are neither too little nor too big. It was completely in the middle with her breasts somewhat big, you can still grab a handful but not completely cover the entire breast. Her perky chest and ample ass were visible due to her red dress sticking to her during the sudden events of being kidnapped, her charm comes from her natural brightness and approachable aura. If Kireina and Ketsueki were the perfect femme fatale then Yuiitsu's gullible and cute nature will easily capture the hearts of men.

Reiki said. "Pay it no mind princess Yuiitsu, as you saw by my display of magic I'm only well versed in that area so please pardon my rudeness if I were to offend you somehow." Reiki then returned the bow to the princess and smiled an innocent smile that can fool anyone to think that this child is helpless and incapable to do anything on his own.

Yuiitsu had a faint blush on her face, the innocent smile was able to make her heart skip a beat after regaining her composure, the princess said. "Of course, anyone who was able to see how strong your magic is and at your current age. I was able to tell that you must have spent almost all of your time learning magic and as for your offer to guard me towards the palace. I accept that all of the fees will be paid by me and I shall speak about this matter to my father and he will reward you for protecting me. I have high hopes that we will get along… Oh, I hope you don't have any plans for the next few days because it takes three days to get there and three days to get back here."

The princess said that as she walked toward Reiki and extended her hand indicating for a handshake Reiki extended his hands. He paled and trembled so quietly even the princess in front of her didn't notice he thought. Wait six days I'll be gone for six whole days, Shiro and Ketsueki Onee-Chan will kill me if I do this… But I can't just refuse after offering, if I refuse she might call her guards and arrest me… I also told her my family name and if word gets out that the Akihito family are not willing to help a princess in need we'll lose all of our reputation but. If I do go, when I go home I'll be in a world of trouble.

Reiki can only resolve himself and said. "Ready when you are Princess Yuiitsu as long as I'm next to you even if the Gods themselves wanted to kill then they have another thing coming." as He spoke those words he looked Yuiitsu dead center into her eyes without blinking.

Which only caused the princess heart to beat faster and her faint blush to turn red and spread to her entire head as she thought. What is this feeling? This boy is an entire six years younger than me don't tell me I have a fetish for younger men? But that's impossible. Almost every day countless suitors come to the palace to try and woo me but this child is not even trying but I'm starting to feel something for him NO! It's just the heat that's affecting me, that's the heat. 

Reiki noticed the red tinge on the princess' face so using wind magic to lift himself off he levitated to level himself face to face with the princess. Without saying anything he put his forehead to the princess forehead to make sure she didn't get sick or anything else after doing that, Reiki said. "Are you, okay princess? Your face is red, are you sick? Do you want me to carry you unto the carriage and nurse you back to health?" Reiki said this without any hidden meaning he might be a 10-year-old boy but he still lived through hell and did things that most people would describe as inhumane so he's mental fortitude is still as strong as steel so he did this out of the bottom of his heart without any ulterior intentions.

Yuiitsu's red face only became redder as Reiki lifted the princess without any sort of effort and carried her back inside the carriage, Reiki said. "Princess, pardon me for being straightforward but you're so light have you been eating properly?" The princess was only silent with her tomato red face, she thought. How long has it been since someone was talking to me as an equal? All of the suitors that line up every day are either wanting to get a hold of my father's fortune or trying to climb to a higher status.

But the worst of all, some even have the gall to try and look at me with eyes filled with perverted thoughts thinking, I wonder how her moans sound in bed and how she screams when she climaxes having someone to actually care for me, I haven't felt this feeling in a long time.

Yuiitsu came back to her senses and thought. NO! I can't fall into his pace at this rate I might actually fall for him! She finally got the courage to speak while being carried by Reiki. "P-p-put me down this instant y-you w-who told you that you're allowed to touch me? Akihito Reiki if you don't put me down this instant I'll make sure you'll regret it." Yuiitsu's face was completely red and her thought process was obviously affected by this.

Reiki showed a smirk to the princess and said. "Ohh so you're saying that you can actually make me regret something now. I like to see what you're capable of doing then, by all means, please try."

As Reiki spoke, Yuiitsu's face only got even redder as she said. "Y-y-you naughty boy naughty boys like you need to be punished accordingly." as Yuiitsu pouted as she struggled to get back on her feet but failed to do so Reiki's smirk only widened at her reply and said. "Naughty? That's the first time I've heard that word being used for something else you said you'll punish me? So what did you have in mind then? Are you gonna lock me up in your room for an entire night with only the two of us together? Or are you gonna make me your pet so you'll always have an excuse to have your way with me?" The princess' entire face was tinged red as she stood up and regained her composure, Yuiitsu said. "I'll remember what you did to me Reiki once my Mother hears this she'll have your head!" 

As she said that she thought. This kid! forget what I thought earlier! I'll make him submit to me, he thought he could have his way and tease me as he pleased? I'll play your game and hopefully you won't chicken out. You'll be the one to confess to me, not the other way around. She regained her composure as the princess came up with all sorts of plans to make to put Reiki in his rightful place.

Before Reiki could retort, a maid suddenly appeared from the side and said. "Yuiitsu-sama are you safe?" The maid was completely unarmed on the surface which caused Reiki to be uneasy and thought. She was able to get this close to us and I didn't even notice, this woman is dangerous. Reiki used God's Eye.

Oy oy oy you've gotta be kidding me this so-called "maid" is the most dangerous one I've seen no wonder she was able to sneak up on us like that… But she's the strongest one I've seen if I recall Ninja based classes were more based on speed and high burst skills…  I wonder how I would measure up if I fought, not only that she knows her own weakness, having high speed will eat your stamina in a blink of an eye if you're not careful. Not only that she's got a code name I wonder what's that for and how do I get one? her Reiki pondered to himself.

"Otome-san, when did you get here?" Yuiitsu asked in a calm manner, forgetting what just happened between her and Reiki.

"I've been here for a while Yuiitsu-sama, a few moments I heard you scream so I abandoned my position in the shadow and decided to protect you within range. That was until I saw the little master here kill two bandits inside the carriage using martial arts and killed the other two using magic." Otome replied her pair of eyes were as cold as ice her nose was on the small side but matched perfectly with her supple lips she wasn't smiling but wasn't frowning. 

She had short light brown hair her body isn't too bouncy but not too slim she had volume on all the right places and her curves is easily seen thanks to her maid outfit which was a black dress with white trim, with a skirt above knee length white half-apron and she wore black long stockings that complemented her long and perfectly curved legs and High heels that add about an inch to her height.

"Thank you for saving Yuiitsu-sama on her behalf. I thank you young master." As she finished her sentence she offered a slight bow towards Reiki and faced the princess again and said. "Yuiitsu-sama will the young master be accompanying us towards the palace?"

"Yes, you heard correctly Reiki will be guarding me towards the palace but before that, I wanted to get a few books in the library." Yuiitsu said that in an as-a-matter-in-fact tone and leaving no room for negotiations.

Otome didn't give a reply and just gave a slight bow and just went to the princess' side as the three headed to the nearest library in peace and silence, a few moments later the princess stopped in front of a small library.

"Reiki let's go it's gonna be a long journey so I recommend getting a few books to read." The princess said that without even turning around to face Reiki and started walking towards the library.

"All right, I might as well get something to read while we wait." Reiki Replied and thought. But why are we buying books at this small library? It's a bit on the run of the mill side and simple design even I would call it shabby. As soon as Reiki went inside the shabby library.

It completely shocked Reiki, the inside of what he claimed to be "shabby" was huge. It had thousands of thousands of books. It was as far as the eye could see Reiki thought. Space distortion magic! His eyes were wide from shock and stared at the sheer size of it. This library easily has 400,000 books.

"Reiki, pick out any book that caught your eye." The princess said so nonchalantly as she walks past him and started browsing a shelf.

As Reiki began to walk he heard someone call out to him saying. [Reiki get over here at the Greek Mythology section I've got something for you.] Reiki jolted and looked for a sign saying Greek Mythology. After a few minutes of a short walk he only saw a small ripple of the energy before it could completely disappear. 

He saw a notebook as Reiki picks up the notebook he flipped open the pages and scanned the contents he saw a list Medical Knowledge, Magical Medical Knowledge, Alchemy, Theories of Magic, Principles of Time, Forms of Magic and as the list goes on Reiki flips the pages...and again...again...again...again the list wasn't even stopping after Reiki flipped the pages for one minute straight as he noticed a few more flip of the pages, Reiki thought. What's with this notebook? It never ends what the fuck don't tell me this is what God wanted to give me judging by how many pages I've flipped it seems that this notebook has an infinite amount of pages. But when can I start to read it? I've been flipping through the pages for a minute and I don't see this list ending anytime soon. Hell, I even think that this notebook doesn't have a last page should I apply magic to it.

Reiki gathered magic at the tip of his finger and touched one of the pages but nothing happened, he thought. Maybe I need to touch one of the lists in this notebook. With that in mind. Reiki applied some magic to the word saying Poison Cures the notebook pages glowed and soon it revealed a list of Poisonous Monsters and under them were ingredients for the cure.

Reiki thought. This is awesome even if I don't even raise my level I can become a legendary doctor thanks to this book.

But before Reiki could react, a voice said. [We still have one final thing to give you after this. After that you're on your own kid, I'll send you some things telepathically good luck kid.]

 

Ataeru Language『 MAX 』

『 Passive 』

- Grant's the user to speak all Language. 『 including Ancient 』

- Grant's the user to Read all Language. 『 including Ancient 』

『 Author's Note: Ataeru in this one means "Impart" so this skill is literally named Impart Language 』

As soon as that happened Reiki closed the book and turned it around and opened it from the back and saw a blank page.

Notes Page 1/1

Reiki thought. This notebook is perfect. I can note down everything I learned and create my own medicine and possibly even modify magic. Reiki grin was reaching from ear to ear as he made sure no one saw him take it and saw… system?

[System: Would you like to Soul bind this item to you?]

[Yes/No]

"Ehh?" I can soul bind this to me, Reiki thought. This notebook is absolutely priceless, if word got out that a notebook like this existed the entire world would plummet into chaos just to try and find it. Yet here it is right in front of me only a complete idiot would press no even for me… Who cares as long as nobody knows about it I'll be fine. Reiki pressed yes.

[System: You have pressed Yes input name to new Soul bind item]

[System: Name:_______ ]

Reiki only whispered to himself so nobody could hear him. "A name huh let's call it, Kaita."

[System: Kaita has been Soul bind to you]

『 Translation Note: Kaita means wrote down』

Kaita 『Soul Bind』

- If Item gets more than 10 meters from the User it will instantly teleport back to the user.

- Can be hidden in the user's Soul.

- Can be repaired using the user's mana. 『As long as there's still one page left』

- Changes to the users Will.

Reiki couldn't find the words to describe it the notebook was perfect it couldn't be taken and he could pretend it was burned to ashes and can easily be repaired using the user's own mana even if word got out of a notebook like this exist it he could always burn it in front of the assassins and act that's it's gone forever. "Reiki, I've got a few books to read on our journey. What about you?" Yuiitsu said as she walked towards him in the Greek mythology the princes was only carrying one book while the maid was carrying with two hands four thick books but the back of books wasn't facing Reiki so he couldn't see what the four books were about.

"Nothing has really caught my eye for a while so I was gonna check one last section. I'll meet you two at the cashier." Reiki replied nonchalantly while holding the new notebook by his side in his right hand. The princess saw the notebook and said "What's that then?"

"Ohh this? It's my notebook. It contains all my notes in my years of studying magic." Reiki replied instantly as long as he stated it was his and it contained all he knew about magic the princess wouldn't ask too many questions.

"...Okay, make sure you don't take too long, Reiki. We have to leave before the sun sets to make sure we arrive in time." The princess said she didn't want to ask too many questions or Reiki might get suspicious of her actions of asking too many questions about the notebook. She knew how hard it is to learn magic even if you have all the greatest materials, pellets and medicine enhancement to work with a royal blood asking to see the research of a 10-year-old notebook and if word got out the town would go into an uproar but it still wasn't enough to convince her.

"Okay gimme a minute even if I don't find anything I'll be out soon." As soon as he said that Reiki turned around to browse at the other shelves to see if anything could get his attention after roaming for a minute or so he only picked two books it was Acupuncture and Human Body Anatomy.

"Sorry if you waited long princess I couldn't really see any book that could get my interest. I only picked these two out of curiosity." Reiki said as he approached the two girls at the cashier.

"No, we're only discussing what type of magic spells you used when you were fighting the bandits." the princess replied to Reiki as she paid the cashier a gold coin.

The cashier said. "Thank you for your patronage." and gave a slight bow.

Reiki thought. Were books always this expensive before? We only have a total of six books and she paid a whole gold coin for it. He pondered his thoughts as the group walked back towards the carriage.

As the two walked towards the carriage Reiki noticed that the maid had disappeared from the shabby library and was nowhere to be found.

"Hey princess, where's the maid her name was… Otome right?" Reiki said to the princess to start a light conversation.

The princess didn't reply and stayed silent as she remembered what Reiki did to her and still didn't look like she was about to forgive Reiki for what he had done to her.

"Hey, princess, is everything okay?" Reiki thought. The silent treatment huh. Let's see how long you can keep this up then. Reiki then slowed down his pace by a few steps and revealed a devilish grin. This trip is gonna be fun.

As the two were almost near the carriage the maid appeared out of thin air as if she were waiting in the shadows and said. "Yuiitsu-sama I've gathered what we need for the next few days and prepared more just in case we encounter an unexpected situation." Otome said so in a cold and calm voice without changing her expression after that she opened the carriage door and waited for the two to go inside and closed the door as the maid sat in the driver's seat the two horse's started to gallop and the city was slowly vanishing from Reiki's line of sight.

"Ahh princess, is it okay if you taught me some of the things in the outside world? I don't really know much since I've spent most of my time practicing magic alone in my own room so I don't even know where to start." Reiki said to the princess as he looked outside the carriage towards the town where he lived he thought. I still don't know shit about this world since this is a game where there should be a rarity system and what type of magic and judging by the princess title there also seems to be a nobility hierarchy. I need to learn more, if not I'll be killed by my own carelessness.

Yuiitsu was completely shocked, she thought. Was this really the same boy who teased her an hour ago? After a few moment's she smiled and said. "It can't be helped, a lowly commoner like you who's only worth is ability to use magic is obviously lacking in the rules of the world and how some things work." She smirked in front of Reiki with him admitting he knew nothing except for what he knows she felt superior and couldn't help but look down upon him

Reiki thought. Yep, that's what I expected. She still hasn't forgiven me for what I did to her an hour ago. If I didn't need money by the end of the month to pay for my father's debt I wouldn't be even here. Reiki said. "Yes, as this all-knowing princess said, this lowly commoner knows nothing of the outside world and just secluded himself in his room and only left when I needed to go to school." In a normal voice not too imposing, not too sarcastic.

The princess smirks even wider. "Well since you're asking so nicely I have no choice but to comply then."

As the princess started to lecture Reiki about the changes of the world and Reiki listened attentively he thought if this princess is gonna be like this the entire trip this is gonna be a long one.

After a moment of lectures from the princess, she decided on a break and Reiki saw.

[System: You have received 12 new Skill from the Gods, would you like to see them?]
