The story of Viscount Tanasia’s recovery from the hospital quickly spread throughout the territory.

At first, I thought it was because one of Mary and Viz was light-mouthed.

It turns out that the reason the rumor spread was because of his father, Viscount Dmitry Perdalos.

My father, who was once a soldier and became a nobleman in recognition of his merits, was a person who was clumsy in hiding his emotions in many ways.

Unsurprisingly, she was one of the people who reacted the most to the news of her beloved mother’s recovery.

The corners of Viscount Perdalos’ lips, which had been somber for years, did not leave his ears.

Hiding her mother’s recovered condition must have been impossible from the start.

My father, who belatedly advised that it was better not to reveal family affairs to the outside world, tried to maintain his normal, solemn expression again.

It was after rumors that Viscount Tanasia had already recovered among the servants as well as the villagers had already spread here and there.

Of course, there were many stories about me who restored my mother’s body.

Even the servants were openly talking about things like ‘Perdalos’s next master’ and ‘Genius boy who healed an incurable disease’ in front of me.

Even if it was me, it was quite difficult to shamelessly accept that title.

It’s impossible to shut the mouth of each butler or maid.

Rumors aren’t blocked just because they’re blocked that way.

Above all, the source of this burdensome title is the father, the owner of the mansion. It was already an unstoppable story on my line.

Today, too, breakfast began with his father’s scathing praise.

“Thanks to our genius son Conrad, the Perdalos family is very lively, ahahahaha!”

Feeling a little ashamed of my father who spits out the same story at every meal.

As usual, he timidly expressed his burden.

“Father, how many times have you talked about that already? And it was a therapy that could be called anyone, not me, if you knew how.”

“But Conrad, isn’t that the way you knew it yourself? Mom is proud of our son.”

“Your mother is right, brother. No matter how much you try to hide it with humility, it won’t change the fact that your brother’s achievement saved your mother’s life.”

Of course, whenever that happened, my mother and younger sister would help me out, and I would immediately continue to give unfamiliar compliments.

Perhaps this atmosphere will continue for a while.

I guess I have no choice but to accept it quietly, thinking that it will fade away someday.

“Thanks to my son, my body has recovered. Mom will have to pay attention to managing the estate again soon.”

“Are you okay, Tanasia? Still, I think it would be better to rest a little longer.”

“Even after restoring my magic circuit, I already took a week off, Dmitri. And you can’t just have Delphina take over the management of the estate forever, can you?”

“Hmm, that’s what, but… .”

My father made a revolutionary contribution in the war against the Kingdom of Rongrias.

He was a ‘Ordered Nobleman’ who received a medal and the title of Viscount for his achievements.

Somehow, in terms of management and politics, he tended to be a little less than the general aristocratic family head.

On the contrary, her mother, who had been educated as a young lady by the family of Count Alias, had more expertise in that field.

Of course, until her mother passed away, the overall management of Perdalos belonged to Viscount Tanasia.

After the magic circuit was broken and collapsed, Eoyoung and Booyoung and Delphina took care of it.

Besides, I will be the age to enter the academy last year.

In fact, for the past year, Delphina alone has been in charge of managing almost all of the estates.

Mother returning to management as soon as possible was supposed to ease the burden on her sister.

“I am also in favor of my mother returning.

Next year, Delfina is also at the age where she has to enter the academy. I can’t leave it to my little sister forever.”

“I am of the same opinion as my older brother. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by myself.”

“Kuhm, that, yes. If that’s your opinion, then it can’t be helped.”

Viscount Dmitry Perdalos readily accepts the opinions of his wife and children.

As a noble, you might be judged a little less dignified.

As a husband and father, he must have been a good man.

Maybe it was because my mother was able to get up from the hospital bed and I felt more relaxed.

If I had left my mother alone without finding a cure.

Maybe my mother is getting worse and worse.

He would have lasted less than a year and passed away in pain and suffering.

Not only that, but the atmosphere in the house suddenly becomes depressed.

My father must have completely hardened his blunt personality and drank.

Just blocking it had completed all I had to do in the manor this winter.

“Father, mother.”

“Why is that, my son?”

“It’s a little early, but I’ll be right back at the academy in a week.”

At my answer, my father and Delphina’s eyes widened.

Mother nodded quietly with a calm expression on her face.

“Are you saying that already, brother? Hasn’t it been less than a month since you came down?”

“Why don’t you rest a little longer and go up?”

“There is still work to be done before going up to the ecliptic. I think I will probably need a little more time to finish it and come back.”

“Dmitri knows how busy the Academy Magic Department is.”

“… Hmm, not really.”

Come to think of it, did your father and mother say that they met for the first time at the academy?

Looking at my father who understood my mother’s story as soon as I heard it, it seemed that my mother had a very busy life during her academy days.

Of course, the reason I want to return to the academy a little early isn’t because of magic research or self-study.

Most of the magical knowledge already has accumulated memories of close to ten years, so there is no problem.

All you have to do is release the next circle whenever you get a chance and regain your strength.

Although the reason for leaving the schedule a little earlier was completely different from what my parents expected.

“Because undergraduate life at the Ministry of Magic is a bit busy.”

I didn’t dare to say it in order not to create a reason for my parents to worry.

After that, things like my current situation at the academy. There was a story about asking where the hell did you learn that treatment?

Breakfast was over after answering the family’s questions with appropriate answers.

A family of four eating at one table after a long time. It was a landscape like an old memory that I missed.

Two days left before leaving the Perdalos territory and going up to the ecliptic.

A bit early to go to bed. My steps were directed outside the mansion, not inside.

A small refreshment table installed in the garden of Perdalos Mansion.

As for the original use, the mother would deal with the wives visiting the Perdalos Mansion.

Or, although Delfina was sometimes used as a place to enjoy light refreshments for a change of heart.

The person waiting for me at the table today wasn’t my mother or Delfina.

The drinks served were also never light teas such as black tea or herbal tea.

“… Are you here, Conrad?”

“Yeah.”

After sitting across from my father, who had already drunk two glasses of whiskey.

He immediately picked up the glass, filled it up, and bumped the glass lightly with his father.

Brilliant. After sharing the bottled sound with the person sitting across from you. I passed about half of the first glass straight into my mouth.

As soon as a little bit of alcohol entered my body, I felt a slight burning sensation.

“… How is life at the academy these days?”

“It’s just normal.”

I probably thought of it as a formal question like usual, and thought of passing it off without much thought.

Unexpectedly, a completely different answer came back from his father’s mouth than he had expected.

“What is normal? How did a guy living a normal life learn how to use the elves’ arcane magic?”

“… Did you know?”

“yes.”

“How did you know?”

“As the war gets longer, you will meet all kinds of people, and you will have all kinds of trivial ties with all kinds of races.

It’s not uncommon to rescue an elven slave who was being forced to work in a corrupt aristocratic mansion somewhere.”

It was a story from my father’s past that I had hardly heard of in any previous life.

He used to hate it so much that he would hardly tell his children about what happened during his war hero days.

It seemed that the mother’s recovery had changed the father’s state of mind.

“Before the child I saved then left for the forest. He said that he would repay the favor, and he treated one battle mage the same way as you and then disappeared.”

“Then did you already know why your mother was so sick?”

“yes. So, I did my best to find someone who knew the cure. It would have been especially nice to be able to find the elf I met before. Even if the grace at that time was repaid, it could be seen that there was a little friendship.

However, the elves, who became wary due to the war, shut themselves up in the forest of the world tree and did not take a single step out. The cure is like a vision passed down only among elves.”

“… I guess so.”

“I don’t know if I could have taken your mother to that forest. At that time, as soon as I rode the warp gate, the magical energy in my body would be severely twisted.

It would be a journey of more than two months if I just tried to move by carriage, but it was too long. In the meantime, we won’t be able to leave the territory to Delphina alone.”

“… … .”

“Seeing that you don’t want to tell me how you got it, I won’t ask any further, but I’ll tell you this one thing.

Thank you so much for saving Tanasia, Conrad.”

“Since you are a precious mother to me as well, I just did what I had to do, of course.”

My father shook his head at my answer and spat out a sincere confession.

“I don’t know if it’s the best thing to say at this age. Tanasia is more precious to me than my life.

Looking at it this way, Konrad, you might have saved my life.”

“You’re very drunk, Father.”

“… Yes, it seems so.”

Viscount Dmitri Perdalos, blushing, pushed his chair back and stood up slowly.

“You can drink all the rest. It’s an expensive drink, so don’t throw it away.”

“Good night, father.”

“Yes, it’s nice to be able to sleep comfortably thanks to a well-raised son.

For the past three years, when I woke up in the morning, I would fall asleep worrying that Tanasia would not open her eyes.”

Seeing his father disappear into the back of the mansion with a simple eye greeting.

After pouring all the whiskey into the glass, which at first glance seemed to be on an expensive label.

I sipped for an entire hour, enjoying the moonlight and the smile my father showed me.

Two days after the night I had a slightly more sincere conversation with my father than usual.

The morning of the day to return to the academy came.

I wonder if the alcohol I drank the day before yesterday was quite strong. Until yesterday, I was in a state of somnolence that I couldn’t come to my senses until the afternoon.

As of today, though, I have regained my condition to some extent.

After having breakfast a little more leisurely than usual and talking with my family. We said our last goodbyes in front of the mansion.

“Carefully go up.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Next time you come down, do at least 4 circles and come down.”

“I will try harder than that.”

“Please let me know if you think the cost of living will be insufficient. The estate business is doing well these days, so I can send you some extra money.”

“Thank you for your words, Delphina.”

After saying goodbye to each family member. I got on the wanted carriage on time.

In order to go up to the ecliptic from Perdalos Territory, you would have to take a carriage and travel a full day to the Marquis of High Garden.

The wagon carrying my body and the minimum amount of luggage that could fit in one backpack set off toward the east.

I took a short break leaning against the carriage back.

Considering that I will have to work hard again in the next few hours, I should have taken enough rest now.
