The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 158.1: Kurando Has Received an Order (Part 1)

Translated by AmaLynne

In the Royal Capital, a woman’s harsh voice echoed in the residential area where the aristocrats lived.

That woman was Misery Michel, the female head of the Countess Michel family.

She is in her mid-fifties, and wields a fan while wearing a flamboyant, ornate dress that is anything but luxurious.

In front of Misery, the Sword Saint Amemiya Kurando kneels and bows his head.

“Kurando.”

“Yes.”

In the office of the Michel family, Misery, trembling with anger, glares at Kurando from above.

“My little Julian has been badly mistreated by a child named Samuel Scheidt.”

“I’m afraid so.”

“I have mobilized all the restorative wizards I could find, but it wasn’t worth it. My son is having difficulty functioning as a man, let alone living a normal life.”

“It’s a shame.”

“Of course, The Magnolia refused to treat Julian! If that woman refuses to heal him, what will be left!?”

Kurando sighed so as not to be noticed by the hysterically screaming Misery.

He had already heard that the first court wizard, Murasaki Magnolia, had refused to heal the injured Julian Michel.

The reason for this, too, was generally understood.

Sam, whom Magnolia had hoped would become the son-in-law of her granddaughter, Hanae, was the target of an attempt on his life. He even told him that he was going to make her his concubine.

Of course, the Murasaki family, not to mention Sam himself, had never heard of such a plan.

In other words, he thought that if he killed Sam, he could have the women around him as they were.

Frankly, it was a story that made one question his sanity.

As a result, Magnolia, who is very protective of her granddaughter, refused to treat Julian.

If she had treated him, he might not have lost his daily life as well as his function as a man. For that reason, Misery’s anger was tremendous.

But from Kurando’s point of view, how could she have so brazenly asked Magnolia to treat her?

“Kurando. You are indebted to my family and to your father, who was the previous head of the family. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes.”

“When you came to the continent from the Land of the Rising Sun and were just a swordsman in need of food, it was my father who helped you.”

“I have never forgotten my debt.”

Mendes, the previous head of the Count Michel family, was a wonderful human being.

It was not only the Kurando that were saved by him.

He supported an orphanage for children who had lost relatives due to the war, and he frequently served food to those who were in need.

There are so many people who respected Mendes.

Unfortunately, however, his daughter Misery and grandson Julian, who took over the head of the family after Mendes’ death, were the complete opposite of the previous head of the family.

Perhaps because they were pampered by people who respected Mendes, they mistakenly thought they were special and became conceited.

Because of this, the people who used to respect Mendes have now left.

Even today, the only people who still feel indebted to and follow Count Michel’s family are the Amemiya.

Even so, Kurando did everything he could to prevent Julian from becoming warped.

He taught him the sword, taught him morals, and was sometimes harsh with him.

Kurando thought Julian was growing up straight――or so he thought.

“You have done well. You became friends with His Majesty and were given the title of Sword Saint. You are a nobleman now. But it is all because my father helped you, isn’t it? Isn’t that right?”

“Yes. It was all thanks to the previous head of the family.”

“Then isn’t it time to return the favor?”

At Misery’s words, Kurando looked up.

“As requested by the Madam, I will inform the royal court that Julian-sama is the successor to the Sword Saint.”

“Wrong. Not that. It is a matter of course that Julian will become the Sword Saint. What you have been given is also ours, so it is only natural that we ask you to give it back to us.”

“Then what?”

“Kill Samuel Scheidt.”

“………”

He had a bad feeling about it from the moment he was summoned.

Kurando also has his own thoughts about Julian. He was an honest boy when he was a child, but his mother’s twisted upbringing caused him to change little by little without his knowledge.

He did not realize it when he married Lise, one of his beloved disciples. Julien’s true nature was already distorted by then, but he hid it well from Kurando. But he never thought that he would do such a thing to Lise when they were married.

He also regretted having given Lise his blessing even once.

To top it all off, he was even going to touch his daughter.

If it had not been Mendes’s grandson, he would have kick him from the dojo long ago.

The reason he did not, or rather could not, is because of his debt to the previous head of the family, Mendes, and because he had a history of caring for him as an apprentice at one time.

At the time of his death, Mendes told Kurando to take care of his remaining family.

Kurando had done his best to fulfill his benefactor’s wishes, even if it was in a foolish way.

He has repeatedly complained to Misery to change her attitude toward him so that Mendes would not grieve in the afterlife.

However, she never accepted them.

There was too little that the Korando could do.

.

He owed a debt of gratitude to Mendes. Misery has known her since she was young, and Julian has adored her since she was a child.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t kill Sam.

He had no reason to kill himself.

“You can do it, can’t you? He may be touted as the most powerful wizard in the land, but he’s just a child. You are a wizard-killer and have taken the lives of many wizards, so it should be easy for you to take one.”

“……he is the fiancée of my discipline.”

“I don’t like that either!”

Misery yelled and threw a fan at him.

The fan hit Kurando in the forehead, causing blood to flow.

“The disciple is that Liselotte, isn’t it! How sad it must have been for Julian to unilaterally divorce her, even though he had married off a stone woman who couldn’t even have children! That alone is enough to make me angry, but the walkers’ bad-mouthing of my house has caused all the nobles who had been in my life to leave me!”

It was because of what Misery and Julien did and said that the people around them drifted away, but she would not admit that.

She conveniently believed that Count Walker was behind it.
