Hey, I’m Vector. An ordinary adventurer you can find everywhere.
Eh? Don’t like it? I’m not lying at all… Ah, you knew? I see.
Hmm!… Yes, I am Vector Georgius Ostrat. Formerly the second prince of the Kingdom of Georgius, presently the Duke of Ostrat.
… Sorry, can I stop now? I don’t like talking about this.
What did I want to say again? Oh, I’ll talk about my life as an adventurer. As you can see, being an adventurer is a way for me to hide my identity from the world. I have various circumstances… Well, it’s not that complicated.
When it came to royalty and the older prince, I frequently experienced many cases where my life was targeted because of the right to succeed to the throne. To put it simply, most people didn’t like me and just wanted me to quickly become a subject of the state.
Since I received the royal education, I understood my obligations and responsibilities, and I intended to fulfill them. Even so, I was a little tired of the political conflict or the plotting… In the first place; I had no interest in the throne, so I gave it up.
When I was twelve years old, I hid my identity and started working as an adventurer. When I reached adulthood at fifteen years old, I served the kingdom, receiving the Duke title. However, I never thought I would end up fighting the Lord of Winter right after that…
Some nobles didn’t take sides to the political affairs and got along with everyone, abandoning the right of inheritance of their family and succeeded using their own ability. I wanted to become someone like that, and it went better than I expected.
However, I couldn’t completely abscond the right to succeed to the throne, and that’s… something I was still worried about.
Territory management? I had no particular problem there. I had them ceded a fertile land from the territory under the direct control of the royal family, and my aides were excellent… My partner originally grew up with me as my foster brother. I could trust him with things like this. He looked like he was going to die due to a lack of manpower, though.
Eh? How could I afford to become an adventurer with no aim in my life? No, my main purpose was to scout human resources to solve the labor shortage.
I had to find a reliable partner since they were going to be my subordinate hired in my territory, right? Plus, I could help the commoners who were in trouble by becoming an adventurer, killing two birds with one stone… And I wasn’t enjoying my valuable freedom to the fullest, okay? But I couldn’t say I didn’t appreciate it.
I frequently went back to the territory to watch the situation, so it’s okay. My partner was excellent, and I kept increasing the talented people, so I could be free for the next few years… no. I’m going to be an adventurer. It’s not like I was playing around, okay?
Besides, I also caught a few merchants who were doing dishonest business secretly… And also several corrupt reeves…
Speaking of which, when I returned to the royal castle the other day, Sir Eisenstein, who I met after a long time, called me an ‘as’ or something like that. What does that mean? Maybe I should ask him when I meet him next time.
I was currently working with a few colleagues.
Most of them were younger than me, but I had good chemistry with one of them… Hmm, maybe it was a few years ago? I didn’t like how my name became popular after the Lord of Winter’s subjugation. That only made my surroundings noisy. The story started when I met them, when I was working in the territory of Mubarro, away from the royal capital.
He was called Neil, a young adventurer who got along with me. A lot of things happened, so I worked together with him.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation and stop supporting the content thief!)
At first, I talked with Neil to decide on the policy, but I became the leader before I knew it. When I realized that, I could only laugh bitterly.
That being said, I wasn’t always working with them. Actually, I also joined several other parties. My original purpose was to gather human resources, so I had to meet many people. But well, I mainly worked with Neil and his team.
Anyway, let me introduce them for now.
First, Neil.
He wanted to be a swordsman. I taught him the regular style of swordsmanship, but he was good. Even if he only trained for a little over a year, he could think for himself and work hard. If he keeps going like this, he most likely would be quite strong.
Next was Collie.
She was Neil’s sister… how could I say this? She was handy, willing to do anything, but she didn’t excel in anything. She became the scout for now, but I’d like her to use a spear to switch with the middle guard to balance the team. I just hope she could stop looking at me amorously like that.
The last one was Tess.
Tess was Neil’s lover. An alchemist who came to their village a long time ago taught her a little, so she could make up a prescription, even if not much. Thanks to that, the party could reduce the cost of recovery medicine a bit.
She was also interested in magic after learning alchemy, so I taught her magic occasionally when I have time.
They were all farmers, but they were better than I expected. Especially Neil. If he keeps improving like this, I might leave one of the units to him. The latter two were… it would depend on their future growth.
Ah, actually, besides these three, I had two more members a few months ago.
One was Irvine.
He was an archer, an excellent rearguard who could also become a scout. He used to be the third son of a noble of lower status…
The other was Gilliam.
He was a warrior equipped with a large shield, a tanker? But thanks to him, the battle became stable.
I had invited these two to be my subordinates. They were happy to accept my offer. After that, I talked to Neil a bit, but he seemed to be worried about various things. Well, we still had time left, so he could take his time to consider it.
Ah, and I was also interested in a kid.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(If you are reading this, that means this content is stolen. Please support us by visiting our site.)
I heard about her from Neil before. She was a witch who lived in the forest nearby Neil’s home village, who was also an excellent alchemist.
She could even make a medicine to cure a highly lethal epidemic in just a day.
I was only thinking of meeting her if I had a chance. But a few months later, after I met her, I wanted to rope her in.
She took care of the orphans in the town who were working as adventurers, improved their life, defeated an orc alone, and collected a sizable amount of herbs every time… I heard she also introduced a dish no one had ever seen before at the inn.
Irvine and Gilliam also said she had helped them before.
They took a request to subdue a group of ogres. But when they went to fulfill it, a lord actually commanded the group, putting the subjugation team into a difficult position.
They were almost dead after being chased by a ferocious orc. She was the one who helped them.
However, there was one problem in recruiting her. It was her relationship with Neil.
Apparently, Neil had offended her when she was going home. Neil also had a hard time adapting to the situation, so he bothered her a lot.
… Well, Neil didn’t seem to be aware of it, but he clearly favored her. I think that’s why his attitude toward her had changed.
The girl in question was called Ren… I heard a lot of stories and talked to her a bit, but she seemed to have a very troublesome personality.
It’s better to gradually deepen the relationship than to force it. With that in mind, I pretended to meet her by chance and greeted her whenever we met, but she vanished from the town during my gradual approach.

Neil was a little depressed, but his messenger didn’t manage to collect any information regarding her, which made him even more disappointed.
From the fragment of information I heard from the guild staff, I guessed that she was heading to the royal capital.
Royal capital, huh… I was thinking about going to subjugate the Lord of Winter soon, so this is perfect. I didn’t intend to follow her around to recruit her, but at least I wanted to become her acquaintance.
However, it wasn’t until a few months later that I finally arrived at the royal capital.
No, I’m not playing around, okay? I had a lot of things to do… I went to see the territory’s situation and recruited other people.
Besides, I had to show my face here and there after arriving at the royal capital to prepare the equipment for subjugation… I had responsibilities too.
Then a few days after arriving at the royal capital.
I went to the castle and talked to Father… His Majesty about the material of the magic sword for the Lord of Winter’s subjugation. After that, everyone took a breather and enjoy the festival.
After having a lot of fun, I also took part in the martial arts competition on the last day.
During that match, I felt like someone was trying to look into my status, but it wasn’t strange that everyone would try to get information of their opponent in this kind of tournament. In the first place, I hid my identity using [Camouflage] skill and magic equipment, so it’s unlikely that someone would reveal my real identity.
However, during my match with Neil, I could sense an unpleasant sign of someone seeing through my [Camouflage], but maybe it was my imagination?
Well, I was worried about that, but the unexpected reunion after that made me forget about this matter.
A few days after the harvest festival was over, I visited the blacksmith who forged the attribute sword I used to defeat the previous Lord of Winter and asked him to forge a new sword. There, I met that girl again.
I didn’t notice her at first since she always wore a hood before. But I finally realized it when Neil, who had a strange face, told me.
I knew that her face was beautiful from what I could see from the hood, but I didn’t expect her to be this pretty…
But that wasn’t the only thing that surprised me. She said she could forge a magic sword that was stronger than Arnold’s.
Not an attribute sword, but a magic sword? This child could forge that?
Arnold was an excellent blacksmith, and only one or two people in the royal capital could compete with him. No, even within the kingdom… and the neighboring countries. From what I could infer within the conversation, he talked like that girl was better than himself… But she’s a bit too young, isn’t she?
After that, I listened to their conversation. Looking at Arnold and her attitude, it seems like she could really forge a magic sword.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation and stop supporting the content thief!)
At first, I was skeptical, but Arnold already said that it would be difficult for him to forge something better than the previous one. I asked her, who was originally reluctant and only giving me a half-hearted answer…
I didn’t expect her to really make a magic sword better than this one… I couldn’t even imagine a magic sword with [Weapon Skill]; you know?
I tried activating the skill in the plains around the royal capital, and I couldn’t stop laughing after seeing the crazy firepower with my own eyes.
The magic shield she made with the set was ridiculous, and the cloak she gave to me as a bonus was also amazing… I heard about this from Neil later on, but seems like I was grinning all the time that day. I had to be more careful.
Anyway, I realized that I had to get close to her no matter what. It would be horrifying to think a blacksmith who could forge this kind of sword might go to another country.
Besides, she seemed to be able to make a lot of other things, so I made sure to give her escorts as I promised.
After that, I talked to His Majesty about this matter. Since I was the one who found her first, I could negotiate with her first. And even if I failed, His Majesty would negotiate with her. Well, even if I successfully recruited her, the result would eventually return to the country. His Majesty would benefit from it, so he wouldn’t be that concerned.
Well, after that, while receiving the report from the escorts, I continued to prepare for the subjugation of the Lord of Winter.
D-rank Neil and the others joined the subjugation main unit and got placed in logistical support units. Irvine and Gilliam had just risen to C-rank, but we had to deal with the Lord of Winter’s followers, so they also prepared their weapons and armor.
Neil consulted to me that he wanted the sword that the girl forged, but he gave up obediently after I told him it would be hard considering her personality. But then, Neil’s sword was also personally made by Arnold, okay? He was honestly getting a gem unworthy of his current skill.
After that, when the subjugation battle began, there were a series of troubles and things didn’t go as planned.
To defeat the Lord of Winter, I eventually used up the [Weapon Skill] four times. Since I had run out of magic power, I couldn’t take part in the pursuit of the giant and its minions who were heading toward the town.
I was also injured in the battle with the Lord of Winter and the Frost Salamander, so I returned to the town while being supported by my companions.
However, my status and skills had increased dramatically by defeating the Lord of Winter, who was far stronger than I expected.
It might be troublesome again if this unexpected growth was to be known. I had to be careful when going around in the castle from now on. But after that, I was confused because people started thanking me for something I didn’t do.
Somehow, a powerful mage with two black wolves had defeated the Frost Giant alone. Also, the mage said I was the one who arranged for her to guard the town.
The mage rode the wolf, running around the battlefield with her beautiful silver hair dancing in the wind. She annihilated the hordes of demons, prevented the attack of the Frost Giant many times, and eventually defeated it. Then she left dashingly.
Long hair, two wolves. Her mouth was hidden with a muffler. The color of her hair and her wolf’s fur were different, but it was probably her. She could do a lot of things, so I wasn’t surprised if she could conceal herself with [Disguise] skill like I did.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(If you are reading this, that means this content is stolen. Please support us by visiting our site.)
I knew that she would take part, but I didn’t expect her to help directly. Now I had a debt to her, making it hard to recruit her.
But then, she could tame Fenrir, forge a magic sword which could match the national treasures, excel in alchemy, and cook amazing dishes… Now you told me she was also an excellent magician. Isn’t that a bit too much?
As I wondered what her real identity was, I decided that I had to negotiate and seize the giant magic stone as a reward to her. Apparently, I was grinning again. Neil nudged my arm with his elbow.
Hmm, I’m really interested in that kid. I unconsciously smiled when thinking about her antics.
How should I hand over the magic stone once I receive it? If I gave it to her directly, she probably wouldn’t take it. She probably wouldn’t admit that she saved the town.
Then… If I remember right, she got along with a novice adventurer party. Those kids also came to this town, so let’s have them give the stone to her…
Now then, I might be a little busy from now on, eh?1
