Author’s Note:
I’m trying to add dates from volume 4 onwards.
====================================
November 30, 2029.
Three years have passed since Ike left for the Lister Confederacy.
During that time, we dived into the Almeria Labyrinth and established basically a new city from Almeria.
By establishing the city of Almeria, I mean that we, the Bryant family, built our main residence in Almeria and made Almeria our home base.
All three parties, Azure Fang, Red Wings, and Black Tri-Stars, are all C-rank adventurers on their own.
However, those three parties did not accept the offer of promotion to B-rank party.
Skill-wise they are more than qualified to be a B-rank party but if they had become a B-rank party, there could have been possibilities that they would be obligated to respond to the country’s enforced quest.
And we had been leveling up in the safety zone of the third floor of the Almeria labyrinth, so we had been leveling up for the past three years.
We didn't get any treasure chests on the first floor but we got a decent amount on the second floor and a lot on the third floor so the Bryant family was quite well off.
Unfortunately, none of them are things I could equip myself with.......
The wet money was used for the development of the city of Almeria.
The Bryant family did not monopolize the money alone, and rumors spread throughout the country that the money was being used for the benefit of the people of Almeria, and the population exploded.
Now, for our status…
Name: Mars Bryant
Title: Thunder God / Wind King / Goblin Butcher
Status: Human race, second son of Count Bryant.
Condition: Good
Age: 9 years old
Level: 20
HP: 52/52
MP: 7481/7481
Strength: 49
Agility: 52
Magic: 69
Dexterity: 51
Endurance: 47
Luck: 30
Unique Ability: Innate Talent (LvMax)
Unique Ability: Clairvoyance (Lv9)
Unique Ability: Lightning Magic (Lv6/S)
Special Ability: Swordsmanship (Lv8/A)
Special Ability: Fire Magic (Lv3/E)
Special Ability: Water Magic (Lv2/G)
Special Ability: Earth Magic (Lv3/E)
Special Ability: Wind Magic (Lv9/A)
Special Ability: Holy Magic (Lv5/B)
Equipment: Salamander Sword
Equipment: Disguise Bracelet
First of all, my status jumped drastically.
I'm now a full-fledged B-class adventurer.
My skills have also increased to level 9 for Clairvoyance, level 8 for Swordsmanship, level 6 for Lightning Magic, level 3 for Fire magic, level 2 in Water magic, and level 3 in Earth magic.
The fact that my talent for swordsmanship became A is something for everyone to take note of.
My talent in Fire magic and Earth magic have also been raised to level E.
Also, equipment-wise, I have inherited Ike's Salamander Sword as is, and in return, I gave the Wind Dagger to Ellie.
Next is Clarice.
Name: Clarice Lampard
Title: Saint
Status: Human race, eldest daughter of Viscount Lampard.
Condition: Good
Age: 9 years old
Level: 25
HP: 51/51
MP: 1198/1198

Special Ability: Archery (Lv7/B)
Special Ability: Water Magic (Lv2/F)
Special Ability: Holy Magic (Lv6/A)
Equipment: Defender
Equipment: Magic Arrow
Equipment: Saint Robe
Equipment: Mysterious Anklet
Equipment: Disguise Bracelet
Clarice was finally able to learn water magic.
Now she can go to the Lister Imperial School as a magician.
I'm glad her hard work paid off because she has been practicing ever since Zeke told her to make sure she learned one of the four major magic elements three years ago because the Holy magic needs to be hidden with a Disguise Bracelet. That’s assuming her unique ability is not visible to appraisal.
And another point to take note of is the eldest daughter of ‘Viscount’.
Her father had been promoted from a baron to a viscount.
And last but not least, Ellie.
I was surprised at her rise in status.
Name: Ellie Leo
Title: -
Status: Beastman (Lion), Head of Leo Baronetess
Condition: Good
Age: 9 years old
Level: 20
HP: 62/62
MP: 30/30
Strength: 42
Agility: 52
Magic: 10
Dexterity: 11
Endurance: 35
Luck: 10
Unique Ability: Sound Magic (Lv1/C)
Special Ability: Martial Art (Lv6/B)
Special Ability: Knifemanship (Lv4/C)
Special Ability: Wind magic (Lv1/G)
Equipment: Mithril Silver Dagger
Equipment: Sylph Dagger
Equipment: Cloak of Wind
Equipment: Boots of Wind
Beastmen tend to have more strength, agility, and endurance than the human race.
I had heard about that but I didn't expect she would become so strong in just 3 years......
If she continues to increase her level and status, she will surely become stronger than even Barnes...
Zeke made Ellie a baronetess.
This is partly out of consideration for the late Barnes but also for Ellie's future.
Ellie will enroll in Lister Imperial School exam with me and Clarice.
Since Clarice and I are the children of nobles, Ellie would preferably be a child of a noble or aristocrat herself as well.
Since Barnes died, Zeke gave Ellie the baronetess title for one generation only. Well, a baronet or baronetess is not actually a noble but it is better than being a commoner.
Also, it seems that being a beastman meant that she is more talented in the usage of daggers and knives.
And after she put in all her effort to grant enchantment to Sylph Dagger, she became able to use Wind magic.
The Cloak of Wind and Boots of Wind came from treasure chests in the Almeria Labyrinth.
To be honest, I was going to equip them myself but Ellie's Endurance value is lower than her Strength and Agility, perhaps because she is a girl, so I decided to have Ellie equip them instead.
By the way, the performance is like this. The Boots of Wind's ability to walk on the air is broken.
Name: Cloak of Wind
Defense: 10
Special: Agility +1
Value: C
Details: A cloak that makes you feel lighter. It increases agility.
Name: Boots of the Wind
Special: Agility +1
Value: B-
Details: Put magic power into them and kick the air to walk in the air.
And then there is Sound magic, which is quite useful.
I'll explain this one too when I get around to it.
Our relationship also changed.
Clarice is now officially my fiancée, and after marrying Clarice, I will take Ellie as my mistress.
I had already informed the Lampard Household about Clarice and Ellie, and they had given their consent.
Incidentally, it was Zeke who suggested this. Maria was against it at first but Clarice and Ellie persuaded her and she agreed since the people involved are alright with the arrangement.
Maria said to Clarice and Ellie, "I'm sorry. Mars seems to really like girls." and apologized.
I'm not saying that's....not true but it's a statement I find hard to agree with.
But Clarice and Ellie have changed a lot in the last three years.
First of all, both of their chests have swelled up a bit.
Apparently, the three of us are one of the most well-developed people in the world.
I'm 9 years old and I'm 150cm tall.
Clarice is 135 cm and Ellie is about 140 cm.
The problem with that is Ellie's skinship with me.
Currently, the three of us sleep together once a week.
Ellie tries to sleep together every night so Clarice came up with this measure.
Ellie says she just wants to be together and sleep with no other intention.
Clarice, realizing this, made this suggestion.
However, when Ellie is attached to me, I can't sleep in agony because they hit me.
My body may be a child but my mind is that of a perverted oldma-……I mean, that of adult.
And today is the day the three of us sleep together. Tomorrow, December 1, is the day we leave Almeria to take the exams for the Lister Imperial School.
By the way, Ellie is also going to take her exams at the Lister Imperial School.
"Tomorrow is finally the day. And once January comes, we will be ten years old.”
Clarice and I have the same birthday, January 1.
"That's true. I've been here for 10 years, in total I've been alive for a total of 30 years. I wonder if I were living well in Japan, would I have kids by now?”
"Do you want kids, Mars?”
Clarice asked me.
Oh, I regretted a little that I said something strange. By the way, Ellie is already asleep, wrapped around my left arm.
"Mhm. Yeah."
I turned to Clarice and answered, then she kissed me.
"Wait a little longer."
So she said. No, what is this thing, she’s too cute... but well it’s not even to wait or no question, I'm not even functional yet...
Clarice said "Good night" and went to sleep, entwined in my right arm, just like Ellie.
December 1, 2029.
The three of us left the city of Almeria with all of Bryant's family members seeing us off.
Zeke and Maria were shedding tears at the thought of letting all three of us go at once.
From Zeke and Maria's point of view, Clarice and Ellie are already their daughters.
Leena is also crying because she had become very attached to Clarice. She didn't even cry when Ike left...
Well, Leena was 3 years old at the time and didn't know any better. Yup. Let's put it that way.
Also, the three of us will be escorted by members of Azure Fang too.
Certainly, we are stronger than them but from the bad guys' point of view, we are but three kids dressed a tad little nicer than others and thus could be plotted against and possibly get dragged into some kind of trouble.
Our path to the Lister Imperial School went very smoothly.
I have improved my control of Lightning magic, which has greatly improved my enemy searching capability.
Not only humans, but even magic beasts always emit electricity albeit weakly.
In other words, I use Wind magic to channel the wind and feel the electricity.
We left the city of Almeria on December 1 and arrived in the territorial capital of the Duchy of Regan also known as the academy city, Regan, where the Lister Imperial School is located, five days earlier than our scheduled arrival on December 25.

Well, as you saw in the next few chapters on whether he got exposed or not. This is where I feel the author lack of description kinda hurts. I left it vague to not spoil others whether he got exposed or not.
I doubt literal lightning would be easy to hide out in the open, even with some distance... especially considering many would pay attention to the area with the strongest fighter and monster
It's somewhat subtly implied here but his Lightning magic has not been revealed to the public. Remember the battlefronts or battle line became so wide and most of them got pushed back which was why Mars actually had to travel back and forth to support Ralph/Carmel. There were only Barnes, Ike, Clarice, and Ellie at that place where they faced off against named Queen Ant. But it's more worrying that Mars might had been seen using Holy magic to heal instead.
considering he used it in public, him being a lightning mage should be known by now... i wonder if he'll still act like its a secret
