Volume 1 Chapter 38 Ten Years Old
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”O Light that travels through time, cross into the endless void,
Under my command, tear apart the space, form a boundless chasm!
Ancient Time, flow as I will, reveal the realm of eternal rest!
O Hidden Realm, heed my call, let the door of dimensions appear!
A silent fate stirs, welcoming a universe anew,
Unite all existence, and fulfill my deepest desire!
’Dimensional Creation’!!”
Two days before I turned ten, I finally succeeded in creating my own subspace warehouse using Space-Time Magic at the Fifteenth Rank.
Since the Martial Tournament, I had been studying and training only in Space-Time Magic, so the moment my efforts paid off made me truly happy from the bottom of my heart.
”Yes!!! I made it just in time!”
In my family’s large garden, I couldn’t help but shout out loud.
At that moment, Nana and Rumi, who were watching beside me, couldn’t hold back their joy and smiled while clapping, celebrating my hard work.
”Wow! Amazing, amazing! Brother Rob, congratulations! I’ll hug you tight and give you a kiss! Mmm… mwah~♡.”
”That’s really awesome! Now you’re all set to be an adventurer… congratulations, Rob! …W-wait, I’ll give you a kiss too! …Mmm… mwah~♡.”
I got kissed on both cheeks by the two of them.
I was so excited that I felt like I might bleed from my nose, but I held it in.

I was focused on Space-Time Magic, so Rumi passed me in levels.
Nana quickly leveled up from fighting in the nameless dungeon and the Kalarisk swarm.
And it seems she acquired the unknown skill of Gun Technique thanks to the [Magic Condenser Device (Immortal Seven)].

The evening before I turn ten.
Since I plan to take a shared carriage to Somirkas early tomorrow morning, today, they decided to celebrate my birthday.
Rumi’s birthday has already passed.
In fact, she was born before me.
The living dining room of the Cartwood family is decorated beautifully, making it feel like I’m in a dream.
I’m sure Nana and Rumi worked hard for this.
On the table, my favorite dishes are lined up, and there’s even a pure white cake prepared by my mom.
Dad approached me with a present in one hand and a smile, offering his birthday wishes.
”Rob, happy tenth birthday. I have something nice for you as you join the ranks of adventurers starting tomorrow.”
”Ah, thanks, Dad… this is a dagger, right?”
In Dad’s hand, there was a dagger shining with light.
”Yeah. If you take on a monster hunting request, you definitely need this to collect proof from the monsters.”
”Oh, I see… I’m really happy! I’ll take good care of it.”
I felt my heart race as I gripped the dagger tightly.
Next, Mom Emma came closer.
”Now it’s my turn. Rob, happy birthday! I thought this would be perfect for you since you love magic training. I’m giving you this magic book I wrote. It has all the details about the ancient magic I know. I made it as easy to understand as possible so you can study well over there, so do your best!”
Saying that, Mom handed me 8 magic books covering all attributes except for the holy attribute.
”Th-this is… so amazing! Thank you, Mom! I was really worried about how to train in magic, so this really helps!”
”Hehe. If you’re that happy, it was worth the effort.”
Next, Nana came up to me.
”This is from me! I thought this would be perfect for my beloved Brother Rob, a masterpiece I made with great care!”
Saying that, Nana handed me a cute doll that looked just like her, fitting perfectly in my hands.
”Wow! This is really well made! With this, I can manage even if Nana isn’t around… though I can’t say that for sure. On days I can’t see you, I’ll look at this to cheer myself up. Thanks, Nana!”
I smiled and gently patted Nana’s head.
”Yeah! You have to come back home at least once a week!”
Nana’s eyes glistened as she looked at me with a slightly sad expression.
”Of course! …So that we can go on adventures together someday, keep training hard, okay?”
I gently pulled Nana closer.
I realized I felt a bit lonely inside knowing that my time with Nana was getting shorter.
”Yes… I love you, Brother Rob.”
Then, Rumi came closer for the last goodbye.
”We’ll be together over there too, so tomorrow is fine. …Here, this is for you!”
Saying that, Rumi handed me a bracelet with a beautiful gem embedded in it.
”This is made from a protective stone that was in my house, set into a bracelet that Ms. Emma had.”
”Wow… I didn’t expect something this amazing. I’m a little surprised. …Thank you. I’ll treasure it.”
I smiled and thanked Rumi.
”Yeah! Let’s keep getting along, Rob!”
”Yeah! Tomorrow, the real adventure finally begins!”
And so, the last day in Grove Village, peaceful and fun, quietly passed by.
* * *
At night, just a few hours before the date changed, we lay down in Nana’s room, with 3 futons spread out, in a line: Nana, me, and Rumi.
”Sigh~… I know it can’t be helped, but if I had been born on the same day as you, I could have become an adventurer with you tomorrow… I’m a bit jealous of Ms. Rumi.”
Nana said, sounding a little sad.
”Uh… I’m sorry, Nanna. I’ll definitely bring Rob back here, so please forgive me for that.
Rumi said, bowing her head apologetically.
”Hehe. Yes… I trust you on that. Please take good care of my clumsy brother.”
Nana smiled as she encouraged Rumi.
”Yeah! Leave it to me! I’ll support Rob for sure!”
Rumi nodded enthusiastically.
”…I feel like I’m being called a really useless guy…”
I showed a slightly tired smile.
”Hehe. Big brother is really strong and knows a lot of things. But still, I’m a bit worried.”
Nana shared her true feelings.
”…Well, I know I sometimes act without thinking. I might make Rumi go through some tough times.”
I confessed a bit shyly.
”Don’t worry! I’ll make up for what Rob lacks!”
Rumi answered confidently.
”…Since it’s just the two of us over there, I’ll really rely on you. Of course, Rumi, you can rely on me too.”
I said seriously.
”Yeah. Let’s support each other.”
Rumi nodded and gave a bright smile.
”Alright, let’s go to sleep now… Nana, Rumi, good night.”
I closed my eyes and said softly.
”Yawn… good night, Brother Rob.”
Nana replied in a cute voice that sounded like she was about to fall asleep.
”Good night, Rob.”
Rumi said quietly too.
We 3 cuddled together and fell into a comfortable sleep in the quiet night.

Then, just after the date changed,
while I was sleeping, I floated up,
and disappeared from this world, ‘Yggrasil.’
It would be 3 years before I set foot in this world again.
