Character[]
The main character of this work. He is a former Japanese office worker. he is 25 years old. He's not first class, but he works for a fairly well-known trading company. His specialty is ingredients, so he knows all about cooking and processing methods.
Awakens as 5-year-old Wendelin, the eighth son of Arthur, the 5th head of the Knights of Baumeister family, but he thinks, "If I don't find a way to support myself as soon as possible, my life will end." He awakens to magic by reading books in the study and checking with magic crystals and begins practicing magic in his way. When he was 6 years old, he met Alfred, the magician of the Margrave Breithilde family who became a talking corpse in the forest while heading to the forest for training, and studied under him. He learns various attribute magic, "holy" magic, "teleportation", "long-distance communication magic", and "simultaneous deployment of multiple magic", and finally purifies Alfred.
After that, for about five years, he toured the savage land in the territory, created a map to grasp the coordinates of teleportation, "refined minerals and various materials ", which also served as magic training, and hunted. He spends his life trading his prey in the neighboring city of Breitburg.
Aiming to become an adventurer at the age of 12, he entered Breitburg's adventurer prep school as a scholarship student. At that time, he got acquainted with Burkhartak, the head magician of the Breithilde family, who was the master of Margrave Breithilde and his master Alfred. If you tell him about the encounter with Alfred and tell him about the "magic bag and its contents" inherited from him, you will be given the right to inherit "Alfred's legacy" and will receive "money entrusted by the adventurer's guild and a mansion in Breitburg". Inherit. Since then, he has lived in this mansion with Elle, Ina, and Luise, whom he met at adventurer prep school. After the Earl's residence was completed, it was moved to the courtyard.
On his way to the royal capital Stadtburg to participate in the wedding of his fifth son, Erich, during the summer vacation, he defeated an undead dragon he encountered and was awarded the Order of the Twin Dragons, and was conferred the rank of an associate baronet. At that time, he sold the material of the dragon to the kingdom and obtained a huge fortune.
While staying in the royal capital, Armstrong, the head magician of the royal palace, and Burkhart, who accompanied him on his visit to the royal capital, exterminated the old ground dragon, Grade Grand, in the Palkenian grassland, and were promoted to the baron. Together with the bone dragon, he will have a net worth of 1.9505 billion cents (195.05 billion yen). After that, he will live in the royal capital while studying under them as his new master of magic. The adventurer prep school was treated as a transfer and graduation due to Margrave Breithilde's achievements in subjugating the dragon.
Formed a party "Dragon Busters" with fiancée Elise, who will be the legal wife when all the friends turn 15 years old. Excavated a large amount of ancient magic tools and magical airships from the sealed ruins that I dived in my first job. The total assets exceed 100 billion cents (10 trillion yen) based on the evaluation value of the entire ruins. He undertakes to take care of the former Margrave Breithilde's army, which has become undead and wanders in the Demon Forest, and returns home, but he learns that his eldest brother Kurt, who was instigated by Chief Auditor (Baron) Rückner, will target his life. And decided to get rid of Kurt and usurp the knightly territory of his parents' house. With the capital he has earned so far, he has started developing a part of the southern savage land where his parents' house is located, calling it a "special development zone." He pushes Kurt into a corner as he develops the territory at a pace that cannot be compared to before. Ultimately, there is also Kurt's suicide bombing, and he becomes the official lord. He was promoted to the rank of Earl because of the size of his territory, his previous excavation achievements, his achievements in exorcising the mansion where the spirits of the capital lived, and his achievements in destroying the royal capital's ducal family.
He officially became a noble with the territory and started developing the Baumeister Earldom with his huge capital and subsidies from the royal government. He accepts vassals from his close relative, Margrave Breithilde, government ministers, and close aristocrats to strengthen the Earl family. He entrusted it to Roderich, who became the head of the household and governor, and intended to enjoy the adventurer business just by consulting some ideas, but on the contrary, he engaged in development work in the form of a request from Roderich. He is asked to quarry wood, stone, and steel, clear land, maintain roads in the territory, and build foundations for various development projects. In addition, as a result of actively using earth magic during the early stages of development, he became proficient in civil engineering magic.
After that, after a dispute with the Blois Margrave family, and after his wedding, when he was dispatched as a Goodwill Envoy to the Holy Empire of Urquhart for regular national exchanges, he was embroiled in a civil war over the throne of the next emperor. Due to certain circ*mstances, he was unable to return to the kingdom and participated in the battle as a member of Therese's camp at first, and later Peter's camp. In the end, he played a major role in defeating Duke Nürnberg's army and was awarded the title of Honorary Earl and a huge reward from the Empire.
Upon contact with the demon country, the Republic of Zonutark, he began investigating the seas south of the continent. He discovered several islands and was appointed Margrave because he subjugated "Akitsushima Island" and "surrounding islands" where the descendants of the ancient Akitsushima Republic, which was different from the Mizuho people, lived. When Frederick, the eldest son Elise gave birth to, came of age, he retired, even though he was still in his 30s, and made him inherit the Margrave Baumeister. After that, he intended to live a carefree life, but Armstrong told him to become the "Head Magician of the Royal Palace", and the king asked him to become "Baumeister Guru".
In addition to what he learned from his teacher, he uses the knowledge he learned in his previous life and magic that follows the laws of physics. He also recreates the dishes of his previous life, and for that reason, he has developed magic that accelerates the aging and fermentation of ingredients. Because he gives Japanese names to the dishes he develops (reproduces), he is seen by those around him as having a "mysterious naming sense." Perhaps because he was Japanese, he was the most knowledgeable about Mizuho's culture and the democracy of the Republic of Zonutark.
After getting married, it became clear that "the mana capacity of the person with whom you have a relationship (at least at a level where you can use beginner-level magic) increases". However, the amount of magic that can be used depends on the talent of the person himself. In episode 130, he becomes a father of 2 boys and 6 girls at the age of 18. According to Ernest, Wendelin seems to be a throwback to the [artificial magician] that was created during the era of the ancient magic civilization, and all of Wendelin's descendants are born with the sophistication of a magician. Wendelin himself tries to participate in raising children using a piggyback strap, but his wives and retainers stop him. The piggyback straps were mass-produced and used for raising children in other households. He has also taken on the role of an instructor at adventurer prep schools in the royal capital and territory, but while other instructors tend to boast about their active careers and give instruction that is biased toward their areas of expertise, he made them learn from the basics before applying it. He is well-liked by his students for his careful guidance.
Ichinomiya Shingo wonders what happened to Shingo's body and what happened to the original Wendelin, but it seems that he doesn't care because he has no way of confirming it (he will live and die as Wendelin) agrees. The Margrave Baumeister family will continue to exist even in the distant future (the future beyond Misokkasu) see a story. In the web version, Shingo Ichinomiya's life is almost like eating out or buying things at a convenience store, and he's like a company slave, but in the anime version, he cooks his meals, such as stir-fried pork belly and lettuce. In addition, in the anime version, he was attacked by drowsiness the moment he tried to eat, and because he was awakened like Wendelin, he failed to eat his meal.

| Three years later Kurt, Wendelin's eldest brother, receives a letter from Baron Rückner, Lord Commissioner Rückner's brother, that Wendelin has died. Five days previously, Wendelin finally turns 15 and registers their adventurer party as the Dragon Busters, so the King sends them to investigate ancient ruins. Brantack explains the ruins were discovered in Greigorland’s territory and many high-ranking adventurers have disappeared. Upon entering they accidentally activate a magic circle that transports them to the bottom floor, meaning they must fight their way to the surface past an army of golems. Five days later Head Auditor Ruckner spreads rumors Wendelin has died and as part of his plot to replace his brother as Lord Commissioner, he suggests Kurt’s sons inherit Wendelin’s title of Baron. Still unsure how far they have to climb Elise tells Wendelin she hopes they survive or she will regret not having married him. They encounter a dragon golem with Mythril scales. Brantack runs out of magic and collapses so Elise grants Wendelin the spell Miracle’s Light through a kiss and Wendelin defeats the dragon. Brantack learns the ruins were built by the ancient mage Count Ichelberg, famous for his work creating magic items. They also discover a vast library and a hangar filled with priceless ancient airships. Erwin opens the hangar doors showing they have made it to the surface. | |||

| For the ruins' treasures the King pays the Dragon Busters ten million gold. Wendelin decides to move their home to Breichburg to set up their adventuring careers but Armstrong reveals the rumors about Wendelin’s death, causing him to realize their success has attracted enemies. Baron Rückner and his allies begin planning Wendelin’s assassination. Wendelin hires Roderich as his butler to handle the estate in the capital while a pink-haired girl named Wilma begins following Wendelin. Wendelin meets the Magic Guild's leader, Lucas Gotz Beckenbauer, and borrows an artifact that summons any item. Wendelin throws a party for his friends and family, and important nobles and serves them his summoned tuna sushi with soy sauce. Roderich tells Wendelin about Rückner, including his attempt to include Kurt in his plot, but assures Wendelin he has arranged for Ruckner to be summoned by the King for questioning while also admitting he is Rückner's illegitimate son but hates him for his cruelty. Wilma bursts into the party for the tuna and Lord Marshall Edgar reveals Wilma is his adopted daughter and she suffers from Hero Syndrome which, according to Brantack, constantly overpowers her muscles, resulting in a vast appetite. Edgar offers Wendelin Wilma as a bodyguard or even a wife if he wants. Duke Bleichroder asks Wendelin to take on job-hunting monsters. Meanwhile, Kurt receives the fake news about Wendelin’s death and laughs with joy at inheriting Wendelin’s wealth, only for Wendelin and all his friends to teleport outside, revealing Wendelin’s survival. | |||

| Brantack explains to Wendelin’s father, Sir Artur, that the deceased expedition army, which Alfred Reinford was part of, are now zombies. As the zombies are on their land, Artur is entitled to 30% of any profit gained from the zombies' materials, but Kurt greedily demands 50% and tries to insist the zombies and their belongings be left in the forest instead of being given proper funerals. Wendelin realizes Kurt's animosity and jealousy towards his success and is hated by the servants and villagers, who would prefer Wendelin inherit the lordship. Wendelin and his friends purify the zombies, including Duke Bleichroder’s father and even the lich grandfather of Marlene, the wife of Wendelin’s brother Herrman. Wendelin assures her grandfather Marlene has a happy life so he gratefully allows Elise to purify him. Wendelin returns the armor of the villager’s relatives to them for funerals but then Kurt demands the armor be melted down and reused. Wendelin provides new iron so the villagers can keep the armor, though this only angers Kurt. Duke Bleichroder surprises Wendelin by insisting he stay with his family for a while, though it is clear he is plotting something. Wendelin attends the soldier's funerals whereas Kurt insults the villagers by remaining absent. Klaus, the village chief, secretly asks Wendelin to replace Kurt, and Brantack agrees, pointing out that through Bleichroder’s insistence Wendelin stays with his family, the entire royal court, including the King, implicitly wants Wendelin to replace Kurt. | |||

| Brantack explains the King wants to develop the surrounding land but is unable due to the current land owning and low ranking lords, like Sir Artur. Instead, the royal court has been secretly driving Kurt mad with jealousy over Wendelin, so that when he snaps he will be removed as heir. Wendelin refuses to participate as it would also mean disinheriting his nephews. Klaus warns Brantack to be wary of Amalie, Kurt’s wife, who will try to protect her sons at all costs. Wendelin learns Kurt will be assassinated after Wendelin becomes lord to prevent him from causing trouble in the future. Wendelin tries to offer Kurt a proposal that would allow Kurt to become lord while allowing Wendelin to develop the land but Kurt is blinded by jealousy and refuses. With no other option, Wendelin decides to become lord, though warns his friends he is planning to resist the royal court by making sure that no one dies as a result. Wendelin opens a bazaar to provide the villagers with better resources and then bribes Kurt's shop-owning allies with advanced training in their various crafts to improve their businesses, breaking their reliance on Kurt. He also buys a house in the capital for Amalie and his nephews to keep them safe and hopes to have Kurt banished to a monastery by Cardinal Hohenheim so the court will have no reason to assassinate him. With no allies left Kurt finally goes mad and plans to kill Wendelin. One of Baron Rückner's men provides Kurt with a magical weapon called the Dragon's Flute. | |||

| With the magical Dragon's Flute that will summon a horde of dragons, Kurt lures Wendelin and company to an empty clearing in a forest in the undeveloped land. Kurt, after mocking Wendelin and Brantack's failed attempt to stop him, plays the flute to kill the party and punish the entire region, including his own family, for betraying him. It quickly becomes apparent to the companions the flute is not summoning a horde of dragons, but instead channeling all the malice of the land into Kurt, turning him into a massive undead. Initially shocked by the thought of killing his brother, Wendelin reluctantly helps Elise purify Kurt. With his body's destruction, the small remaining piece of Kurt's malice searches for the nobles who were responsible for his death and kills them and their families, including Baron Rückner. Having completed the kingdom's quest to fix the troubled lands, the king saddles Wendelin with developing the land and offers Wendelin a reward. Wendelin, having grown fed up with nobles using him without consequences, takes a chance to rob them by asking for 2 of the 12 titles that were vacated with the deaths caused by Kurt's malice. After a short argument between the officials of who should get the titles and who's right, it is to bestow titles, the King allows Wendelin to bestow two titles to whom he chooses and even raises his rank to Count, the fifth rank of the kingdom (bypassing the rank of Viscount). Returning to the land he informs Amalie that when his nephews come of age, he will bestow to each of them the titles should they need them. She in turn lets Wendelin know that the boys will come to realize that Kurt's death was of his own choosing and not Wendelin's fault. Eventually, the development of the southern land begins with Wendelin being overworked by his party, and yet still enjoying his new life with them. | |||
