In this world, I'm just a young child named Sao.
When my 『calling』 was revealed, the adults were in an awkward, indescribable mood.
Several adults were in attendance at the church as witnesses, including the baby's mother as guardian.
"What is a "rod maker"?
"What kind of class is it? Does anyone know?"
No one answered.
Apparently, no one had any idea what class a "rod maker" was.
A rod maker is that thing.
It's a word used to mock people who are skilled at handling that thing, likening it to a fishing rod...
Is it possible that such a culture doesn't exist in this world?
"It's true that it's a class I've never heard of. Maybe it's a special job...!?"
"I can't even imagine what class it is from the name. It's a rod, so... does that mean they have an aptitude for fishing or something?"
"In that case, you should become a fisherman..."
The adults are in a state of arguing.
"I don't mind."
It was my mother who spoke up at that moment.
"No matter what my son's 'vocation' may be, there is no change in the fact that he is my son. He is the child I gave birth to through the pain of my womb. Regardless of his talent, I will raise him to be a fine child!"
"It's just as Machete said."
The oldest looking old man said.
It's the village chief!
"After all, in a rural village like this, it's rare for a special job that catches the eye of a noble to emerge. Rather than clinging to a dream that doesn't exist, let's celebrate the fact that another young person who will support the village is growing up healthy."
After all, would it be good for the village if a child from a good class was employed?
I have no doubt that my mother and the people in the village who didn't fall for such a good deal and decided to let me grow up freely are all good people.
In order to respond to their feelings, I wanted to grow up healthy.
...Well then.
Now that my 『calling』 has been revealed, let's take a look at the capabilities of [Rod Maker].
These are the skills I have already acquired as a [Rod Master].
Sao (Lv11)
Possessed Skills
"Charm Up (Large)""Huge Penis""Extraordinary Sexuality""Good in Bed""God Hand""Sexual Critical Rate Increase (Extra Large)""Pheromones (Extra Strong)""Qualities of a Don Juan""Interspecies Intercourse""Impregnation Switch (Off)""Sexually Transmitted Disease Immune""Experience Points Conversion: Sexual Intercourse""Blessing of Explosive Fishing""Staff Technique (SS)"
...Hmmm.
At first glance, they're all skills that seem to be erotic.
I guess that's the kind of class a Rod Maker is. If something like this were public knowledge, I'd probably be ostracized, but I'm really glad that it wasn't particularly well known in this world.
For the time being, having completed the ``Ceremony of Divine Will,'' I was recognized as ``the possessor of some kind of ``calling'' that I don't really understand,'' and I continued to live my life as before.
Just as normal as before.
There's just one problem...
"Hey Guz, what was your 'vocation'?"
Does this mean that there is a nuisance or annoying presence nearby?
"Saoshi? What's that?! Is it because your name is Sao?! That's an easy one!"
I haven't mentioned this until now, but I actually have an older brother.
He is my older brother by two years.
Her name is Caliva.
To put it simply, this brother is a jerk and picks a fight with me at every opportunity.
It seems that my ``calling'' has become a hot topic of teasing recently.
"Compared to that, my vocation is the best vocation! I'm a knight after all!"
His older brother, Caliba, seems to be nothing but proud of the ``vocation'' he has been given.
"Speaking of 'Knight', it's a noble skill to serve the king! Someday I'll be called to work at the castle and say goodbye to this countryside! Unlike a dropout like you!"
That's what they say.
Because he brags about his ``vocation'' like this to the other kids, they all start to dislike him and keep their distance.
However, since he is still a rare special class holder, the village has no choice but to treat him with care, and due to his difficult personality he is treated like a nuisance.
He's like a frog in a well.
And I am this little tyrant's only servant.
"I'm really worried about Caliba's future. Looking around the country, Knights aren't even that special a class. I'm afraid she'll get too arrogant and end up making a big mistake."
The mother watches over her first child with a worried look on her face.
I'm the second child.
"Compared to that, Sao is a good kid. His 'vocation' is irrelevant. As long as he grows up straight and healthy, that's all that matters."
"Yeah!"
Today too, I was being spoiled by my mother and hugged her from the front.
Buried in her fluffy breasts, I feel so happy today.
His brother, Caliva, looked at the whole thing with disgust.
"Hey, Guz! Stop clinging to Mommy! Are you a brat?!"
I'm just a kid.
"Let's go out quickly! There's no one else who can serve as a servant, even if you're a loser like you, so do your best!"
"Caliba-chan really doesn't use rough language. I wonder who she takes after...?"
My brother was a stain on our family, having brought such a good mother to chaos.
What the shame of the house does during the day is go to the forest near the village.
He himself says that this is "training for the future". Instead of a sword, he swings around a branch he picked up nearby and runs around pretending to be a knight.
It's just pretend play after all, and there's absolutely no element of it making him stronger, but he's dead serious about it.
"A knight needs a squire!" she would always say, forcing that role onto me. The other kids her age had long ago grown tired of her selfishness and started to distance themselves from her.
I'd like to be excused if possible, but as expected, that's not possible when we're blood relatives.
It's fair to say that the quality of my childhood life in another world has dropped considerably thanks to this foolish brother.
If that's the case, then maybe he'll just do as he said and join the army as soon as possible, and set off on a journey to the royal capital or whatever?
"Okay, let's find the demonic dragon first! Let's defeat it and take credit for it!"
"It's the rabbit they call the Demon Dragon...!"
Normally, forests are dangerous, so children are strictly forbidden to enter them.
However, his older brother, Caliber, doesn't care and goes into the forest almost every day to play "knights" with small animals such as mice and rabbits.
Of course, the forest is not only inhabited by such small animals; it is a dangerous area with many wild beasts, poisonous insects, and even monsters roaming about.
I've told him countless times not to go in because it's dangerous, but this idiot brother has no fear whatsoever, even though his own ``vocation'' is to be a ``Knight.''
No matter how talented he is, he is still just a child at this point, so if he were to encounter a low-level monster he would die within seconds.
It doesn't really matter to me how many men die, but the problem is that he is still my blood brother.
If such a guy were to die or get injured, my mother would cry and be sad, so I couldn't abandon him, and that's why I accompanied him into the forest.
"What's going on? The demon dragon hasn't shown itself today? Has it been frightened of this knight, Lady Caliba?"
It's a wild rabbit that's set up as a demon dragon.
They are wild animals too, doing their best to survive and being many times more agile and alert than a clumsy human being.
In the end, this thing has never killed a wild rabbit before, but today I felt something strange.
Indeed, since entering the forest, I have not seen a single wild rabbit.
Usually, even if I don't manage to kill them, I'll encounter them a few times.
There was no sign of any wild rabbits, wild birds, mice, or even insects.
This is definitely abnormal.
Has every breath disappeared from the forest?
Or did he run away?
"Now, now, come out! You prey of Lady Caliba the Knight!"
And this idiot was the only one who still hadn't noticed anything strange.
The forest today is noticeably different than it used to be.
Just as I was deciding that I should beat my idiot brother unconscious and bring him back, I realized that my decision was too late.
To a fatal extent.
A huge thing like a wall stood in the way of his brother, Caliba, who was walking in front of him.
"Ah, ah, ahhhhh...!?"
As soon as she faced it, Caliva lost control of her bladder in fear.
It's a bear!
A huge beast that looks up!
No, according to what the adults in the village were saying, wasn't this guy the most terrifying threat in the forest?
It's a bear-type monster, Devil Bear!
Surely that was the name?
"Woohoo! Whaaaaaat?!"
Caliva was so terrified by the Devil Bear's gigantic and ferocious appearance that she ran away as fast as she could.
But that's the worst thing you can do.
Even if they're not monsters, wild animals will take the initiative to pounce on prey that has its back turned and is left vulnerable.
What's more, that idiot Caliba ran away, but immediately got his feet tangled and fell over!?
At this point, it seems like he is the one trying to get himself killed by the monster!
As expected, the bear-type monster raised its front paws ferociously.
The claws at the end of their claws were like linked swords, several times longer and sharper than the normal bears I had seen in photographs in my previous life.
Because he's a monster after all!
If a child were to be ripped apart by claws like that, it would not only be fatal but would be torn to shreds.
I kind of feel like that might be okay, but I don't want my beloved mother to know the misfortune of losing a child, so I have no choice but to do something!
"Yay!"
I stepped between predator and prey and blocked the monster's vicious claws.
To be precise, with the wooden stick I was holding.
With a firm grip, he holds the vicious bear back.
No, that's strange.
Even an ordinary bear is a threat that will guarantee death to a human if they encounter it. A monster based on that bear is an even greater threat, so how can a mere child defend against it?
I was able to do that thanks to the class I had acquired, [Rod Maker].
I thought it was just an erotic class, but among the many skills I possess, there was one skill that stood out somehow, although it seemed to come from the [Pole Master]class.
It's Staff Technique (SS).
Apparently, the same goes for rod, and as a "rod master," I seem to be adept at handling any rod-shaped object, not just my own penis.
So I grabbed a stick, and even though it was just a wooden stick I picked up somewhere nearby, I knew I wasn't going to be easy!
"Yo, haha, here we go!!"
He deflects the ferocious demon bear's continuous, raging attacks, and when he finds an opening, he turns to attack, slamming down blows packed with force.
Even so, normally it wouldn't have any effect on the thick fur of a wild beast, but with the help of the [Rodmaster]'s skill the impact seems to have penetrated the interior and caused subtle damage.
As proof of this, the bear's movements became increasingly slower and its attacks became rougher and more sloppy.
Naturally, the gap grew larger, and with this golden opportunity, I thrust the stick sharply into my opponent's face.
A loud roar rose up, "Gyaaaaaahhh!!"
The stick was stuck deep into the bear's right eye, and it looked extremely painful, even though it was him who did it.
The intense pain caused the monster to completely lose its will to fight, and now it turned on its heels and staggered into retreat.
The monsters are a serious threat to people, so I would like to finish them off if possible, but I gave up.
The child's body is still too heavy to bring about a complete defeat. If life is at stake, the monster will likely put up a desperate resistance, so it's good enough that they were able to repel it.
"I managed it...!"
Take a breath and release tension.
When I turned around, my idiot brother was still there, sitting on his butt on the ground.
Apparently he was petrified with fear.
"You... you...!?"
"So now you understand. The forest is too dangerous for children to play in. If you learn your lesson from this, you should never try to enter it without telling an adult again."
They wanted to escape from such a dangerous forest as quickly as possible, but a problem arose.
My stupid brother Caliber has lost his nerve and is spouting off about not being able to walk on his own!
"Hey, carry me on your back...! You wouldn't leave me here all alone, would you? Right!?"
Being left behind would mean certain death, so Caliba's fear is extraordinary.
Even I wouldn't have fought the monsters to the death in the first place if I was going to abandon them here, but I was reluctant to carry them on my back.
That's because he had peed himself in the shock of encountering the monster earlier, and his trousers were soaked!
If I were to carry her on my back in this position, our bodies would be pressed together and I'd definitely get some of her smelly pee on me!
I don't like that!
"Even if I'm carrying him on my back, I don't want to do anything unless I take care of his incontinence first. At the very least, I want to take off his pee-stained pants and wipe his lower body clean...!"
"Hey, what's going on? Stop it, don't take it off...!?"
You are bothering me.
I don't want to see other people's dicks either, but I'm doing it in complete good faith, so just accept it.
So, even though I didn't really want to touch them, I reached for the wet pants and pulled them off my legs with one swipe...
I encountered a surprising situation.
With her pants removed, Caliva's lower body was revealed to be completely naked.
There was nothing there that I expected to find.
There was no penis...!?
