THE SPARKS OF WAR THREATEN OUR CHILD PRODIGY’S EASYGOING LIFE!
Concerned about the progress Van is making with his fortress town, Count Ferdinatto sends his youngest daughter, Arte, and Viscount Panamera as messengers to visit the “child prodigy.” Fortunately, Panamera is touched by Van’s dedication to his people and proposes an alliance. However, amidst this bright outlook for the future, a new threat descends—a magic beast unlike anything the region has ever seen—and sparks an all-out war!
Series Overview: Van, the fourth son of a powerful noble, is only two years old when he remembers his past life as a salaryman in Japan. With his adult brain in a young body, he’s considered a child prodigy…until he displays the “Production Magic” skill when he turns eight. In a family that favors offensive magic, this crafting skill is considered useless in battle, and Van is banished to oversee a tiny country town in disgrace. With only his personal maid, his father’s butler, a knight, a rescued slave, the memories of his past life, and his “worthless” magic, can Van improve the fortunes of this little village—and himself?
