Chapter 59 - Trump Card

"If that's the case, I'll help you. I'll contact my fellow merchants to gather information."

"Ojiisan ... is that okay? Are you not doing something that has no merit to you?"

"Don't be stupid, if you're gone, my Familiar eggs will no longer be sold exclusively. And it's the same as the old man Maddock there. I'm fond of you, Ars."

"Thank you, I'll prepare a huge piece of land for you if this is solved safely."

"Anyway, is there a chance of winning? No matter how many people are here, no matter how hard you try, we can still be killed."

 The peddler is right.

 Certainly, the few people here can't help.

 Even if we decide to fight, recklessness is not a good thing if you don't even have the minimum number of people needed.

 I have to gather a number of people.

 No matter what.

"First of all, let's gather people. I need someone who can fight with me and give their life if needed."

"What are we going to do? Forcibly take those who are helping maintain the fields?"

"Baito-nii, if you do that, we MIGHT get them to help. It's not just forcible, it's not about volunteering for them."

"Then what about what you always say, 'hire for money', isn't it? Even if the number of people gathers, they'll run away as soon as it's dangerous, those guys."


"Maybe. Then I'll reward them with something better. What everyone will think is worth the effort towards rebelling the aristocrats."

"Is there such a thing?"

 There is.

 Perhaps it's worth it.

 Something that makes people think that even if they might spend their life, if they survive they can get a lot of things.

 However, I have never tried to see if 'it' can be achieved.

 That's why I decided to show my best trump card to my brother, dad, Maddock, the merchant ojiisan, and Gran.

 * * *

"First of all, I have to say that what I'm going to show is my inner hand. I'll definitely ask for help to show this. If you're a little scared, please leave now. "

 I said so, staring at everyone with a serious look.

 I look at each person's eyes as if they were shot dead.

 The area calmed down as if the air in the place had cooled.

"I don't understand. If Ars says so much, I'll give my life too."

"Is it okay? You can't turn back once you agree."

"This happened when I was thinking about settling down here, desu. I want to help, too. I'd like to see the cards that Ars says he has."

"Well, that's fine. Isn't everyone else good?"

"Oh, no problem. What are you going to show? Don't be afraid to show it quickly, Ars."

"Okay. What I will give to my collaborators is 'magic'."

"... Life Magic?"

"No, of course it's not life magic, it's my own magic. I will give my magic to everyone."

"What are you saying? Ars, Dad doesn't know what you're talking about."

"Alright, dad. I'm going to call myself Ars Barca. So, I will name myself after this villiage, and I'll ask everyone to call me by 'Barca'."

"The name of the land ... Ars, that's ... it's too much. Then you'll be like an aristocrat ..."

"Yeah, Maddock-san. From now on, we're a family named Barca. It may not be comparable in size, but it's on par with the aristocrats. That's the only way I can go negotiate with the Fontanas. We have to raise our position to that level at least. "

"But Ars. Isn't it difficult to become an aristocrat? It's not possible to be equal to an aristocrat just by giving yourself a name."

"That's why I'm saying that I'll be giving magic. Decide on whether or not to call yourself a Barca with me!"

 I raise my voice and say.

 After all, it seems that I am just nervous when I suddenly say something like this from others' prespectives.

 But my eyes have always been clear.

 I looked at everyone in this placr.

 I'm not just pessimistic about the bad situation and saying crazy things.

 It must have been transmitted to the people around me.

 After a short while, everyone here came to a conclusion.

 If you give yourself the surname of Barca, you'll receive magic.

 Seeing that, I take a deep breath.

 I started breathing deeply, over and over again, as if to replace all the oxygen in my body.

 I took in all the magical power that exists in the air by those breathes.

 I knead the mana taken from the outside with my own mana near my belly.

 The mana is refined with the image of turning a thin mana-like air into a liquid and then boiling it into a muddy and viscous one.

 I filled every corner of my body with that magical power, took a deep breath again, and took in new mana.

 Then, I gradually squeezed out the mana that I kneaded to the limit from my fingertips.

 Magic Circle.

 I will reproduce the magic circle that I saw for the first time in the naming ceremony.

 With [Memory Preservation], I drew a magic circle into the air using mana as I remembered it perfectly in my brain, and fixed it in place so that it does not scatter.

 It was a difficult and delicate task since it was a different type of magic than the Earth Magic I always used.

 I worked on the Magic Circle for a long time.

 After all, I hadn't used this magic circle since I used it for the Valkyries.

 I wasn't sure what would happen if I used it.

 The first Familiat was named Valkyrie, but magic appeared on all the children born after that.

 What if you use it for someone who already has a name?

 I didn't understand what might happen.

 However, the name given by this magic circle is arguably the best trump card I have.

 For farmers, my magic, especially [Leveling] and [Soil Improvement], should be something that they would tear their throats out for.

 I don't think there is no end to the people who want it.

 That's why I decided to use this magic circle, albeit it was a bit risky.

 However, the names of others are already recognized as blessings from God.

 So, instead of abandoning that name, I decided to take the name of the village where I was born and give them a new surname, Barca, in order to give the people here a new name.

"Name, Baito Barca"

"Name, Assila Barca"

"Name, Maddock Barca"

"Name, Trion Barca"

"Name, Gran Barca"

 I gave each person a new name while trying to present the magic circle to each one.

 In this way, magical warriors who would fight with me were born in Barca village.




TLN: We finally know that merchant ojiisan is called Trion... Assila is Ars' dad.
