- Wendelin to Himself.

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 own 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 lives 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 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 a territory, and started developing the Baumeister Earldom with his own 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 basically 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 own 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 circumstances, 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" were 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 is 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 himself 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 the 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 own 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.

「Personality」


 * Wendelin is shown to be a kind, modest and compassionate boy towards others, although Wendelin seems simple on the surface, he has many different aspects to his personality. Despite Wendelin's extreme magical talent and knowledge he is very humble about his abilities and does not show any signs of arrogance or inflated ego, which serve as proof for his kind nature. Wendelin has shown that despite being in a new world he is still a Japanese man at heart and has a strong desire for finding, processing, and recreating foods from his previous world, spending the vast majority of his time doing so on his adventures. However, he is also quite pliable to pressure from others, bordering on receiving the nickname yes-man . He also prefers to handle situations intelligently and think things through rather than use force to get what he wants and has also shown to be able to keep a calm and level head in most situations in which he rarely panics, such is displayed when he first woke up as Wendelin and was able to keep his composure despite his initial confusion. He is also shown to be very adaptable and adjusts to new situations rather quickly, this trait is shown several times throughout the anime.
 * As he gets older his nickname as a yes-man changes to a certain degree. He has no patience for anyone who makes ill comments towards his wives, fiancées, mistresses, lovers, etc. and has no problem with "blowing them away" with magic. He doesn't kill them but uses the magic blow them to another location.
 * He is also quite the pervert, often "accidentally" walking into the girls getting changed and spending a significant amount of time being "surprised" at the sight of his wives' and fiancées' naked bodies.
 * But he is also quite the schemer, having on several occasions plotted his way to victory and always mentions his approval of Louise's schemes.

「Towards his wives」


 * When it comes to his wives, fiancées, and lovers he treats them all the same and does not show any favoritism with any of them. If he buys something for one, he buys it for all. He takes all of them on dates and vacations. When the first four of his wives got pregnant and could not travel, he would always bring them gifts.
 * The difference in the age of his wives means nothing to Wend as shown when Alban came to visit Wend and started to call Lisa Clemente Ulrique Exler and Amalie Mainbach old women and wanted to replace them with his younger half-sisters. Wend was going to blow him away with magic till Lisa and Amalie stopped him. He blacklisted Alban from ever doing business with his Earldom in the future.
 * There is one quirk in his personality in that he gets upset when he hears about someone marrying their childhood friend. Both in this world and his original world he had no childhood friends. He considered himself a loner.

Abilities
Wend has an unimaginable talent for magic. Already having lived 32 years (despite his appearance) and holding the knowledge of his previous world, others consider him quite intelligent. Wendelin was already gifted at cooking from his past life. This fact was heavily emphasized in the light novel. This uncanny ability became a great source of income for him. He has created many popular products that have become a hit in this world, see Products

He is shown to have more magic capacity than his master, Alfred Reinford. After training with his master, he has shown considerable knowledge and power in a variety of spells. Every type of magic has a different Color. 「Wind」 magic is green, 「holy」 magic is white, 「earth」 magic is light pink, 「fire」 magic is light orange, 「ice/water」 magic is light blue and 「dark」 magic is Purple.


 * Wend has great Magic Proficiency and is effectively identical to its predecessor, Magic Resistance Mastery with the sole difference to master any form of magic spell for the user. It is a series of 6 element attributes (Fire. Ice, Earth, Wind, Holy, and Dark). One for each Magic spell damage type, that scale with the User as they progress. When the user deals damage of a certain type, their Magic proficiency with that type increases. Once they hit certain amounts of Magic points, they will level up or gain several small buffs, which vary depending on the type of magic spell that the user use). (Mage: Magic Damage, Magic Crit Chance, Mana Cost Reduction/ Ranged: Ranged Damage, Ranged Crit Chance, Movement Speed/ Melee: Melee Damage, Melee Crit Chance, Melee Speed).
