"Is this the last one?"

“That’s right, sir. This is indeed the last one. After we finish here, we can return to the city. Thank you very much for coming here.”

Beside me are a new generation of young talents. Before I knew it, the children I hadn't even met had already become very useful people. Geniuses always sprout like new buds, constantly emerging. People can't stop the birth of wisdom, nor can they stop all of this...

"This is what I should do, so there's no need for you to be so respectful. I'm just thinking that this might change things a bit, but it requires more of your efforts. I believe in you; you are the children personally chosen by the gods, and people who are revered, so you can definitely do a good job..."

"...Only you would keep talking about the gods like this. The gods are worthy of our faith, but people like you who talk about them every day are rare in the world. Most people become indifferent or even... contemptuous after they have more power."

He is indeed too young and shouldn't share his innermost thoughts with others so easily, right? He's immature and a fool, but I never care about that.

"Oh, really? Let's not talk about that now. We still need to get everything done, don't we? We don't have much time left. The last village is coming down from here. Let me hold your hand. Or do you not like physical contact? If you'd like, I should carry you down. My body is much better than people who sit for too long."

Nowadays, intimate contact with the opposite sex, especially with very young people of the opposite sex, is treated like one's own child. Most of these children are watched by their parents as they grow up. Anyone who would have malicious thoughts about those children is a despicable person.

Could it be that someone has lingering feelings for their own child?

Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous...

"No, no! What I mean is, although you are indeed a child to me, it's not good! You are too young, at least you look that way, so I really can't put myself in that role as a mother..."

Even knowing that the other person is very old, old enough to be your grandmother, you might still feel a sense of disorientation because of their youthful appearance. So, to prevent such feelings from arising, it's best to stop them from the beginning.

"Oh, okay, I understand. Well, it's fine if I pull on your sleeve or you pull on mine. Let's jump from here. Don't worry, I'll catch you... This isn't a cliff leading to your death."

"...I...I understand..."

He followed the other person's footsteps and jumped down in one go. However, instead of the expected pain or the wind blowing, he felt no intense stimulation. It was just like jumping down slightly from a higher place, kicking up some dust.

"See? I told you there wouldn't be any pain or anything like that. Alright, it's time to go, child."

Intelligent, trustworthy, and courageous. Indeed, a good choice for the next great sage…

The assessment of whether this child possesses the talent to become the next great sage begins here. He has a wealth of knowledge, a personality that is not overly ostentatious, nor is it overly secretive. He trusts the gods and wise men, and although he does not understand, he is still willing to believe and explore. He has enough courage. Yes, this has already achieved what a great sage needs...
