2 Shirone Kingdom

Hello there! you all haven't forgotten about me already, right? Well... Ahem! I am the legendary truck driver who isekai'd both Rudeus and myself.

Just a few days after transmigrating, I realized that Roxy Migurdia, Rudeus' master and one of his future wives, was going to leave Buena Village in just a few hours. So, I rushed towards the village entrance and waited in the vicinity with a bleeding head and a $5 bullshit story ready.

Although I did think that leaving behind my... No, George's parents wasn't a good choice, I couldn't really get close to them either as they would soon vanish. Anyway, there was no way I was staying in the Fittoa Region knowing about the Mass Teleportation incident.

So, the safest option was to follow Roxy and become her second disciple. I asked several questions about Rudeus so that I could find some hints to chantless casting. After three months of constant practice, I did it! It really was just like I remembered. Set the amount of mana, imagine the element, set the speed, and voila!

"Master! I did it!"

Shouting excitedly, I went to Roxy's room. She was at her desk, seemingly writing a letter. Getting closer, I peeked at what she was writing.

Currently, we were living inside an inn called Quiko's Inn in the Shirone Kingdom. Roxy had been working as an adventurer as she had run out of money, which was probably because of me. But since she had already become a Water-King rank magician, she was recently invited to the Royal Palace to teach Pax Shirone, the 7th prince of the Shirone Kingdom. This should have happened one and a half years later.

"Hmm... Wait a minute, Gorge. Let me finish writing."

"OK!"

Looking at Roxy, I could tell that due to a certain variable, she was forced to work as an adventurer continuously every day, pushing Roxy to her limits, which in turn helped her grow stronger. As she finished writing, I asked what she wrote.

"It's a letter to Rudeus."

I already knew what she was going to say, but to seem more childish, I shouted, "Oh, a letter to Senior! If we are already talking about Senior Rudeus, then hear this, Master Roxy! I can do chantless magic too now."

"I see...! W-what?"

Roxy was completely flabbergasted by what she just heard. Gorge could use chantless magic now? How was that possible? She thought Rudeus was just a special case, but now Gorge too?

Gorge was the kid she took in as her second disciple and taught him about magic, but just like Rudeus, he too was thousands of times more mature than a normal kid, had an above-average amount of mana, and learned as quickly as lightning.

"Yes! See this."

As Gorge spread his arms, a ball of wind current was created, and he really didn't chant. Now Roxy was sure that learning chantless magic might just be doable if she researched it a bit more.

"You can stop now. But Gorge... can I ask you how you omitted the spell?"

Upon hearing Roxy's words, I knew exactly what I needed to do, so I said...

"Alright, but... Master, you didn't forget our promise, right?"

"Promise... Right, we did make 'that' promise, but for me to fulfill your wish, you need to grow up first."

"I know... But please, don't forget our promise no matter what!"

"Ok, ok, I won't forget it. Now let's get back to the main topic."

After confirming the promise I made with Roxy, I started answering her questions related to Chantless magic, omitting, multicasting, etc.

As time passed, it was already midnight, and both Roxy and Gorge fell asleep while talking.

The next day~

Shirone Kingdom, Royal Palace

Arriving at the Royal Palace, we were greeted by the king and the nobles of Shirone Kingdom. Now that Roxy had to take care of me, she desperately needed money, as I was a kid in the growth phase, so it's obviously going to be costly.

To get more money and research on chantless casting, Roxy decided to accept the offer to tutor the 7th prince, despite my reluctance and whining.

Well, I am sure he is going to die later, but I need to consider my safety too. After all, I am not a king-rank magician, nor am I a master of escape.

"Haa... Roxy, if that darn Pax dares to touch you, I will make sure to master the arts of escape!"

Gorge swore to get rid of Pax as they headed towards Pax's room.

"What's with you suddenly? Calling me by my name?"

Roxy just chuckled inwardly when she heard Gorge's statement. It had already been months since they started traveling together. Unlike Rudeus, who was afraid of going outside, Gorge was the complete opposite. He would rather train his magic or explore the city than study.

*Knock* *knock*

"Yes!"

Upon hearing a kid's voice, I prepared myself as I started gathering mana.

*Pak*

"Ouch! Why are you hitting me, Master?"

"We are in the Royal Palace right now. Using magic here without permission can even get you beheaded, so you shouldn't cause any trouble."

Opening the door, Pax peeked out, wondering who it was. Seeing the blue-haired girl and brown-haired boy, he knew who they were. The girl was a Water King-rank magician named Roxy, and the boy was a Wind Beginner-rank magician.

"O-oh, are you my tutor?" Gorge asked.

Gorge looked at the small, fat kid and evaluated him. Roxy, who saw this, could only sigh.

"Ha... yes, I am Roxy Migurdia. Nice to meet you."
