Bannou “Murazukuri” Cheat de Otegaru Slow Life ~Mura desu ga Nani ka?~

few life-changing moments ago, he was looking at me expectantly.
Now though, his gaze was blank as though he had lost all interest.

As for my mother, she was looking at the sky with what could be described as a dumbfounded expression on her face.

“You’re in the way, brother.
It’s my turn next; move aside.”

“Tsk…”

The one to push me aside was Raul, my younger brother.

Well, my younger half-brother, to be more accurate.
I was the son of a legal wife, whereas he was the son of a concubine.

His mother was formerly a maid, so even as a concubine, her social status wasn’t that high.
More importantly, because she didn’t possess a Gift at all, Raul’s chances of receiving [Master Swordsmanship] was less than 10%.
Even getting [Swordsmanship] was a 50-50 chance for him.

As such, unlike for me, expectations for Raul wasn’t much…

“Raul Albert-sama, your Gift is…What’s this?! Your Gift is [Master Swordsmanship]!”

Because Raul was blessed with the same Gift as father, the cathedral’s reaction this time was the exact opposite of their reaction to my Gift: utter excitement.

“““OOOOhhhhhhhhhh!”””

Father, smiling from ear to ear, rushed to Raul’s side and hugged him tightly.

Tears of joy flowed from his mother’s eyes, whereas my mother’s eyes were filled with hopelessness.

Just like that, my whole world was turned upside down.
For a long while, due to my shock, I was unable to anything but stand there like a fool.

“……I’m going now, father, mother”

I was by myself, but still whispered so as I boarded the carriage.

No one was there to see me off.
My father and mother were a given, but not even a single servant of our family was here.

But then again, why would they be here? There was nothing to be gained from seeing off someone who not only failed to become the next lord but also was being sent away to a remote place.
I knew even from before that people were being nice to me simply because I was supposed to be the future lord, yet this still made me felt so lonely.

At any rate, the place where I was headed was the uninhabited wasteland to the north of the Albert territory.
Due to the dangerous creatures in the area as well as the land being terribly infertile to begin with, efforts of cultivating the land were abandoned each and every time.

My purpose in being sent here: to do that impossible task.
