Chapter 6. Soul's Name

Then, the magic my father used when I was born.

It seems it involved seeing the soul's name of the target.

By doing this, giving a name as close as possible to the soul's name

is said to draw out that child's talents.

There are individual differences, sometimes they can be fully seen, sometimes not.

In my case, the soul's name was easy to see.

Even if it doesn't completely match, some talent can be drawn out.

For example, the butler, Sebasun.

His name couldn't be fully read, only "Sebas" was seen.

If the whole name had been seen, it would have been "Sebastian."

Even if not a perfect match, "Sebasun" still draws out some talent.

Matching the soul's name even a little can still draw out talent through later effort.

Still, having a perfect match with the soul's name is undoubtedly advantageous.

Thus, each country researches techniques and methods to see the soul's names.

The demon tribe seems to be a step ahead in this.

One reason the smaller demon tribe can hold their own in wars with the human tribe.

This is the information I've researched in this world.

There are other things I don't know, but I'll investigate them as needed.

By the way, right after I started talking

I said, "Ma-ma, teach me ma-gic."

I'm actually a pretty old guy, continuing from my previous life.

Talking like a baby is quite tough.

Maybe thanks to the physical enhancement from the demon god's emblem,

I could speak normally before I turned one.

Saying, "Mother, please teach me about magic.", would be way too weird for a baby.

Maybe not so much in this world, but still.

My parents' reaction to my request was.

"Oh my gosh! He said 'Mama'! Mama! He asked for magic! I'll teach him everything!"

"What about Papa!? Won't you say 'Papa' too!?"

They went full-on doting parents.

In the end, it was correct to use baby talk.

I started with baby toys designed to learn magic, learning magic from my mother, the butler, and the maids.

Successfully casting magic at one year old, everyone treated me as a genius, not just my parents.

As someone who was utterly average in my previous life, being called a genius made me uncomfortable.

Continuing magic training, I turned three.

And after a while, I got a little sister.
