Chapter 9
Translated by NSD

Ever since I came to this world, I wake up very early in the morning.
And that’s why I go to bed so early.
There were no curtains in the room, so the morning sunlight wakes me up on its own.
As soon as I got up in the morning, I got dressed. Call out to my mom, who just woke up as well, and then head to the backyard to wash my face with 『Running water』magic.
Thanks to my recent mastery of ice magic, I can now change the temperature of the water produced by『Running Water』.
Then, after a quick stretch, I chop up the firewood.
Not only do I use this firewood at home, but my dad sells it to merchants as well.
It’s not my primary income because it’s a reasonably low cost, but my goal is not to make money.
It acts as an exercise in putting magic on the weapon. I’ll enchant the ax with magic and chop wood as an exercise in putting energy on the weapon.
At first, my energy consumption was so high that I was exhausted after using it a few times. But now I can reduce unnecessary consumption, and I don’t feel the burden anymore. In fact, I can break them easily and very efficiently.
If you keep chopping wood every day, you could make enough money to live on your own.
There’s no doubt that it’s a boring working environment than the previous company, but I don’t intend to make a living out of it.
After chopping wood, I did a light sword practice and muscle training and returned home when breakfast was ready.
After breakfast and a quick dip in the water, we headed to the church with our classmates. Since the residential area of the village is somewhat fixed and the church is located a short distance away, the children will inevitably take the same path as the other children.
We would spend a lot of time in the church, learning to read, write and calculate, and playing outside.
I was able to read and write the languages of this world while reading and writing magic books. I have memories of my previous life, not to mention, my mathematical level is pretty high.
And thanks to that, I’ve been forced to teach Grace and Logan, a pair of brainiacs, to study, thanks to Sister’s appointment.
Frankly speaking, teaching these two arithmetics is a hella lot more difficult than teaching college-level math. It hurts my head.
I got home from church about a little after noon and called out to my mom to tell her to come to visit me before I left the house.
Mom’s not going hunting with me today, so I’m going to head to the back of the mountain.
The days when Mom doesn’t go hunting are precious because when she’s hunting, there is a risk of her running into me, and she would be mad if she found out me wandering in the mountain.
While reviewing intermediate magic, I ran down the mountain.
This training uses my magic as usual, whether on the run or to defend myself with a weapon.
Since demons can come to kill us at any time, we want to be able to calmly use the magic when we need it at the right time.
It’s easy to think of a previous life where I was continually multitasking.
When running through the forest, I detected three feeble magic powers with my ‘magic power detection.’
Goblins.
Goblins are green-skinned, dwarf-type demons that look just like they do in games from my previous life.
They tend to attack people, especially women and children, aggressively. It’s recommended to hunt them as soon as possible if you see them.
If left unchecked, they can breed and establish settlements and even attack nearby villages, making them extremely dangerous.
However, for hunters, the meat isn’t edible, and the demon core inside their bodies can only be sold for a small amount of money, so they are perceived as annoying demons that do not benefit from being hunted.
But since I don’t tell anyone that I’m in the forest, I can’t bring home any meat-producing monsters from the hunt, and I don’t have the means to sell demon cores.
Therefore, goblins and other demons that can’t be used as meat, but need to be hunted, were good opponents for me to gain combat experience.
As I ran towards the goblins, they seemed to have noticed me too, and one of them stayed in place while the other two sneaked off to both sides.
I think one of them is trying to draw my attention while the others would pin me down from the side. Since I can track their location using my magic detector, it’s of no use to me.
When the goblins are in the magic range, I quickly fire the Windball into the bushes on either side of them, blowing the two hiding creatures away!
The goblins, who had been running to me to serve as decoys, couldn’t bear watching the two of them blow up, and they rushed at me with their daggers at the ready.
A goblin that rushed straight at me got stunned with the Stun Bolt! He was electrocuted, and when his legs became entangled, he fell, he used the Ice Arrow to stop him!
Then I fired the Ice Arrow at the two animals he had just blown away that were attacking him with their wobbly feet, to stop them!
Collected the magic core from the goblins hunted and burned the corpses with the Ignition Fire.
After that, I continued to train, and if I find a goblin, I’ll just hunt it and return home before dark.
When I got home, Lara approached who was taking in the laundry in the next yard.
「 Sirius-Kun, welcome back. What have you been doing?」
「I’ve been running around a bit. I like to run」
「Perhaps, you’ve been to the back of the mountain
?」
As I wiped off my sweat
 Lara-chan speech irked me and
. I was demonized for a brief moment. She saw my expression and said.
「Is that
.a secret?」
「So it’s our secret now
? Ehehe
..」
It looks like she found out. I hope she will keep it to herself.
Lara isn’t the type of person who can’t be bothered to tell anyone a secret, so it must be safe!
I don’t want to be pursued, so I left Lara-chan alone and went home.
My hunger is at its limit at this time of night, so I helped my dad prepare dinner.
「Sirius, you’ve been going out a lot lately, have you gotten to know your friends from church?」
「Uh
 it’s okay
 Have you gotten along well enough to teach him to study?」
「I’m sorry, I work out in solitary after school」
「Well, I’m glad you’re having fun. Hahaha.」
「Where have you been today?」
Mom’s eyes are vaguely sharp. Is it possible that she is a little suspicious

「Well, I was just wandering around.」
I’m not lying. I’m not even going to tell you the truth.
「Yeah, I know. ‘I’m sure it’s all right, but you shouldn’t go anywhere near the backwoods. There are a lot of goblins around here, and they may have started to nest somewhere. Goblins will attack children, so be careful.」
「Okay, I’ll be careful」
I did think there had been many goblins in the area lately, but I’m not sure a nest is being built.
I knew they didn’t seem to be diminishing after all that hunting, but

Well, if the hunters in this village get serious, the goblin nests will be eradicated soon. Until then, everyone is probably getting sensitive, so I’ll probably stay away from the back hills for a while.
What shall we do about the training from tomorrow?
