I’m Junior.
I’m climbing Mt. Eternity and running into one unexpected situation after another.
Multiple ones, too.
I came all the way here so Demon Prince Goetia could re-recruit Belphgamilia, one of the Heavenly Four.
But then, we got trapped in a Confusion Barrier, stumbled into retired S-rank adventurer Golden Bat, and now, we’ve somehow reached a training ground for adventurers…
Can I at least put my stuff down first?
...
First of all, we have to find Lord Belphgamilia, who’s supposedly living in seclusion somewhere on Mt. Eternity.
From the biggest mountain in the entire otherworld?
Isn’t that insane?
“For now, let us head for the summit. We may discover some clue along the way.”
There he goes again, reckless as ever.
Well, worst case, climbing all the way up and then coming back down would still have some meaning to it.
Mountain climbi...
The tallest mountain in the otherworld: Mt. Eternity.
Its elevation surpasses every other peak, and its sacred presence is unrivaled.
From afar, its snow-capped ridges embody sheer divinity.
Located near the border between the Human Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom, both sides revere the mountain deeply. To all people, it is a grand symbol.
That is Mt. Eternity.
And now I, Junior, am climbing that very mountain.
Because Pri...
“Ahhh, that was exhausting...”
I’m Junior.
I really feel like I’ve just wrapped up a major job.
Well, it was a major job.
Going out onto the main stage and covering up what happened in the kitchen, that is.
Big Bro Ritheseus played along with my story and helped tie up the loose ends.
Thanks to that, none of the kitchen staff should get punished.
“If you can come up with an excuse like that on the sp...

The person yelping nonsense noises is the head chef of this kitchen.
He looks like he’s reached peak confusion upon learning the truth.
“Why?! I mean... why, Your Excellency?!”
“Why what?”
It’s hard to blame him for forgetting how to speak properly.
Imagine working hard to recruit someone as just another staff member, only for that very person to turn out to be today’s guest of honor. Ho...
2025-11-03 17:07:47 +0000 UTC View PostI’m Junior.
And right now, I’m having one heck of a time in the royal castle’s kitchen.
“All right, I’ve decided! You’re going to be a royal chef! I’ll grant permission... No, I’ll personally push this through! You’re exactly the kind of talent this castle needs!!!”
The push to make me an official castle chef is terrifying.
“Head Chef! I’m the one who brought him here! Don’t forget who found this guy!”
“I know...
I’m Ritheseus.
The first, second, and third president of the Human Kingdom.
“There will absolutely not be a fourth term!” is my campaign slogan.
Today, we’re holding a grand party to welcome Junior, who’s come all the way from the Farm Kingdom.
A banquet at the royal castle!
That’s the highest form of hospitality we can offer in our country!
There’s a very good reason why we’re putting so much effort into welcom...
2025-10-30 12:22:58 +0000 UTC View PostAs I brandish the kitchen knife, the ingredients dwindle away, transforming into one elegant dish after another, refined enough to be proudly served at a formal banquet.
They are then whisked away by the waitstaff and sent straight to the party hall.
“Okay, that’s plate number one hundred! The venue should be looking good by now!”
A satisfied grin spreads across my face.
Even though I’ve cooked so much, there doesn’t seem to be as much ...
I’m Junior.
I was supposed to be invited to the royal castle for a welcome party they were kind enough to throw for me, but the moment I got there, everything started going off-script.
Well, part of it is my poor planning, but still…
Anyway, the point is, I’ve successfully infiltrated the royal castle.
...Infiltrated?
Strictly speaking, this isn’t anywhere near the party venue.
It’s way more chaotic here, and in its own ...
“So, this is the party venue, huh? As always, it’s got that heavy, serious atmosphere.”
I arrive at the royal castle of the Human Kingdom together with Veil.
The Human Kingdom may be a republic now, but it used to be a monarchy, an era ruled absolutely by bloodline.
Then history turned a few corners.
The monarchy collapsed and all those symbols of old power vanished into the past. Still, the royal castle remains.
Even now, the c...

Suddenly, someone cuts into the transmission... Dad?!
Does he actually have some kind of secret plan?
“Junior’s father…? You mean Lord Saint, King of the Farm Kingdom?”
“Exactly. You can tell just from his voice that he’s as lively as ever.”
Sarimel and the Guildmaster, listening in nearby, both react in their own ways.
But still, Dad, now of a...
2025-10-28 12:52:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello, I’m Junior.
Right now, I’m traveling around the world to broaden my horizons.
And during my travels, the leader of the Human Kingdom, President Ritheseus, has decided to throw a welcome party.
For me.
Seriously?
Apparently, I’m being treated like a state guest.
A “state guest,” meaning...
A person of honor welcomed by an entire nation.
As for why I’m getting such VIP treatment... it pro...
2025-10-24 17:43:01 +0000 UTC View PostSome time passes after that...
...Oh, right. During that time, Sensei and Big Sis Belena had already left the scene.
“It seems our part here is done.”
“We’ll be waiting for your glorious return at the farm.”
And with that, they both withdrew.
Sensei went back to his own dungeon, and Aunt Belena probably headed to the Human Kingdom’s government office to conduct a full investigation into the fraud case.
Aunt Belena, tha...
And so, the headmaster of the Magic Academy finds himself completely cornered.
But villains, especially small-time crooks, always end in the most pitiful way.
“Damn it, I’m not done yet!”
The man who had been trembling and pale suddenly stands up in a fit of desperation.
“If it comes to this, I’ll just kill everyone here! No witnesses, no investigation! I’ll use the time that buys me to escape and start over somewhere new, where no one ...
2025-10-21 18:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe crowd starts to buzz with noise.
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“So the headmaster isn’t really a headmaster...?”
“Then what happens to us who studied here?”
“Does that mean we’ve been total idiots this whole time?!”
Uneasy voices rise all around.
It’s hard to blame them. Every one of these students came to the Magic Academy with a dream, no matter how big or small.
To become a renowned mage someday. T...
I’m Junior.
There really are people who’ve become the strongest thanks to Neo Thaumaturgy.
Take the S-rank adventurer, the Second Silver Wolf, Big Bro Corey, for example.
He once worked as a pioneer in the Farm Kingdom, and thanks to that, he got the chance to learn neo thaumaturgy magic.
Combine that with the dragon extract he occasionally took, and it’s no wonder his physical abilities hit another dimension entirely.
Of course, Core...
My name is Chipposhi.
A humble philanthropist of the Demon Kingdom.
What kind of philanthropy, you ask?
Why, giving people dreams, of course! That’s my job!
People get drunk on the dreams I sell them.
And in return, I receive my payment.
Ain’t that a lovely win-win relationship?
But lately, I’ve been getting complaints from some nasty customers.
They call me names like “con artist.”

“Oh! So you’ve finally arrived, my long-awaited new student of hope! I’ve been dying to meet you.”
When I enter the classroom, the headmaster I just met earlier is already standing at the podium waiting for me.
Why is he here?
If we were going to the same class, couldn’t we have just walked together?
...On second thought, I’m fine without that kind of company.
“I’ve decided to change the schedule on short notice today and p...

Yes, I’ve heard that once already.
What is it about him... this instinctive disgust his very appearance provokes?
He’s short, squat, and round that his entire build looks like that of a toad.
That squinty, grinning face only strengthens the resemblance.
Judging from his skin color...

Just as I’m trying to decide how best to blow up the targets and the school building in one flashy move, someone speaks to me.
I turn around, and it’s that same girl who was being praised earlier, walking over with a middle-aged teacher trailing behind her, looking uneasy.
“Ritany, are you done with your training already?”
“Yes. I don’t think repeating thes...
“So, Guildmaster, what exactly did those guys come barging in for this time?”
“Hm? Ah…”
The Guildmaster looks weary, clearly recalling the encounter.
“As expected, it’s about Junior. Word got out fast after someone saw him use one of his farm techniques to blow away a Terra Beast. They came to ask for details.”
Though to call it asking for details is putting it mildly since their demeanor was anything but calm.

“What?! Really?! I thought it had been around forever!”
To learn about the Magic Academy, I was first given an explanation starting from its very origins.
“Basically, humans only recently learned how to use magic. Was it ten years ago? Anything over a decade ago feels like ancient history from our point of view, but if ...
2025-10-15 13:20:17 +0000 UTC View Post“All right then, Junior!”
“Yes, sir?!”
The Guildmaster, having pulled himself together, starts thumping my shoulders enthusiastically.
That kind of overly familiar energy is something only a senior with status can pull off.
“Now that your position in the guild has stabilized, I want you to start taking on quests left and right as a full-fledged adventurer! When it comes to gaining real-life experience, there’s no better place than out ther...

Once things had settled down, Hibina popped over to chat.
She had the guts to hang around even though we’re still in the Guildmaster’s office.
“Adventurers need this kind of nerve,” says the Guildmaster with a sigh.
“I knew it! The moment I saw him, I could tell Junyaa wasn’t just some ordinary kid! Princes really are built different!”
“Hey! Hibina, you can’t just talk to Prince J...
It finally happened.
It finally, finally happenedddddd!
My identity and lineage have been exposed!
Well, I guess it was bound to happen the moment I came face-to-face with the Guildmaster.
Before I know it, I’m ushered straight into his office.
“So then... what brings you here today...?”
The Guildmaster asks with a serious expression.
Once known as Silver Wolf, he was a fearsome adventurer in his prime, though he...
Countermeasure: Terra Beast.
And with that, the quest is cleared.
“Uhooooooohhhh! We did itttttttttttttttttttt!!”
Bwah!
Hibina dives straight into me. The impact knocks the air right out of my lungs.
“You’re amazing, Junyaa! That was an S-rank performance if I’ve ever seen one! We should just promote you to S-rank already, no objections here!”

Even Shaldot loses his cool and starts rolling around in sheer panic.
"Please calm down!”

I stop him mid-roll by stepping on him.
"I have a request. Let me do it. Give me permission to stop that monster."
"Hah?"
Maybe caught off guard, Shaldot snaps back into some calmness.

“My head hurts…!”

Since the conversation has dragged on, the three of us, me, Sensei, and Hermes, have gathered around a low tea table indoors.
