A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

There were many things I thought about Reurus being reborn.

It is not enough to call it a negative, but it is a feeling of alienation that it is a foreign body in this world.

I didn't say anything until Natalia questioned me, and I never even talked to my benefactors, Dominic and Corona, to Eliza, who I thought was my family.

Originally, I was able to continue eating far beyond my own volume if I wanted to. I didn't really care because I recognized that it was natural and I didn't get full yet, but when I was reincarnated, I thought I was no longer just a human being, so I thought it was "irreplaceable.”

In addition, the black sphere that was engaged in the town of Lemona is probably related to itself. Coming out of a cracked space means living in it. It is not strange whether the soul alone is reborn or influenced.

"I know about 'rare people' and how to connect with other worlds. Even if you're reincarnated, you're not actually connected, so how did you reincarnate... well, what is it?"

Reurus looks away from the vanilla and scratches his head as he looks up. In the forest, the light of the moon is blocked by branches of the trees, and the light of the stars is barely visible.

― ― Can you see your face from Vanille's perspective?

While thinking about it somehow, Reurus throws a new word.

"Is this a question, a little confirmation... am I human?

Sometimes I wonder if he's human, but Reurus can't be confident now.

When it comes to eating a large amount of food, it may have been converted from the edge of the meal into magic. Regarding the ability named "caloric release" by itself, we are using the accumulated magic to improve our physical abilities beyond "strengthening".

I was somewhat convinced of the reason for rebirth, but various questions arise about the spirit and body after rebirth.

--In the first place, he would have died “normally” before the present day.

I'm not saying it was supposed to cost me my life in battle. Even with fatal wounds, the wounds were blocked and people were separated, but the fundamental problem was that they were able to survive to adulthood.

Even if there were memories of the previous life, life in Shenna Village was not so gentle as to be able to survive from childhood until the age of 15, even if there was an experience of working overtime to death in the previous life.

They work like horses every day, and meals are inferior to the minimum. I ate tree roots, grass, insects, etc., but I don't think my body will survive until I reach adulthood with “just that", and even compared to the face of Laval Waste City, my body will grow even more colorfully.

In fact, the serfs of children other than Reurus are dead as far as Reurus knows. Reurus himself has buried an insufficient number of fingers on both hands, so there is no mistake in that regard.

Still, Reurus didn't die. When I first arrived in the abandoned city of Laval, I could say that I fell to the limit of starvation, but the more I ate Dominic's food and slept overnight, the more I was able to move “decently”, the more I was away from people.

Isn't it a deviation from the framework of human beings just by being separated from them? Are you a human being?

When I was a new adventurer, I was terrified of fighting monsters, and I even remembered fear, but now what? Spirituality that can overcome without fear of battle and that would definitely have conflicted with the previous life's self.

Is it rightly human?

Did you have the spirit of killing dozens of bandits because you slaughtered Eliza and the Gregorians and attacked them from the other side?

Reurus puts those questions into his chest with just one sigh. And Vanille returns an answer to such a revulsion.

"Hmm... as far as I can tell, you look human."

"Do you see that?

"For now."

…………

Hearing Vanille's words, Reurus silences. But I opened my mouth again if it didn't start even if I kept quiet.

"What does that mean? You mean I'm not going to be human anymore?

During the battle in the town of Lemona - even before that, during the battle against the "neck hunter", I realized that I had been separated from humans.

If you don't, you won't win, and you'll have no choice but to lose your life, but every time you step further into "Caloric Liberation", it's an idea to get off the human body.

"When I talked to you earlier about the contract... not only did I sign the contract with Sarah and the daughter of the bloodsucking species, but also when Neddy signed the contract, I couldn't read your“ capacity ”. Besides, did I realize you had a contract with Neddy? That too, not only because of the magical connection, but also because I felt a sign from you that you were close to the Spirit."

"... I don't think this is it, no, I don't think so, but I'm actually the same person as that black object, and I just don't remember it, and I'm using 'change' to become a human being... is there anything wrong with that?

Until I was three years old, I remember having my own parents, and until then, I had been raised properly even though I was incapable of living.

There is a possibility that it will happen in the future, but I don't want it to be so from the beginning. However, now that I don't know why I was able to survive in Shena Village, Reurus will be troubled.

However, in response to the questioning Reurus, Vanille burst out saying that she had somehow heard an interesting joke.

"Kuku... what, someone who's wondering if he's human or not, something other than human? I've never wondered if I'm a Fire Dragon? That would prove that worrying is a human being in itself."

"I see....."

Well, I don't know if we're going to be human again.

"You want to cheer me up? And you just want to lift it, and then you want to hit the ground? Which one is it?

Maybe it's Vernier's concern to keep it from getting darker than necessary. Reurus wondered if it would be safe to cut once.

"For now, I told you. And if you were one of them, you would have burned them down the first time we met."

"... well, I guess so."

I can't guarantee the future, but for the first time, listen to Vanille and Reus will be relieved. As a realuse, I don't think it's completely unrelated to the various emotions that I learned when I saw the black sphere.

However, Reurus thought that he should continue to think of himself as human, even if he could not fully believe that he was human.

(When I looked at that black sphere, I didn't think it was a friend or an ally... well, it wasn't good enough when I thought it looked delicious.)

That's not human thinking, but that's what I thought. As a result, the magic gained from that black sphere was enormous, and the Reus was so much more magic than it was before we fought in the town of Lemona.

Reurus wonders so much.

"I mean, monsters, but if that thing that fought in the town of Lemona came out of the world I was in, it wouldn't be fashionable... is that okay?

Not as long as Reurus knows that such a monster has appeared in the past life. The existence of a "rarity" is not absolute, but if space cracks and a black sphere emerges, information is likely to flow quickly.

"Oh, that'll be fine. For those of us in this world... especially those with strong magic, it seems that other worlds are difficult to live. If the space cracks, it falls here."

"It's falling... it's not raining, so just disappear..."

"Natural phenomena of bad nature... think of them as disasters. The magic created in this world has a variety of thoughts, solidifying and seeping out. It's a nuisance."

Vanille looks as annoying as she says. But I felt like I heard a word I couldn't miss as a Reurus.

(Natural phenomena... wait, speaking of which...)

Sarah's face, naturally related and still born of magic, was just behind Reurus' brain. In addition, there is Neddy who came to Lake Mersena thinking that if there is a lot of water, he might get a "jewel" of water.

"If this is a kind of disaster... what about spirits? I don't want to be with you, but if you were born from magic, Sarah would be the same...."

When Reurus asked with some confidence, Vanille raised her eyebrows small.

"Mm... well, maybe you should hide it even more now. It's true that spirits are born like this, but the opposite is true."

"The opposite?

"Hmm. Spirits are mostly born to stand by and help people. You said you met not only Neddy, but also Slime on Lake Mersena, right? Slime is a monster that harms people... and when it grows up, it's called" The Country Eaters. "Neddy was born to stop it."

"Oh, my God... that sounds like something that Gilba would be so happy about."

I was wondering what to say, and after all, Reurus spits out the words that came to mind.

"Speaking of Lake Mersena, Neddy was, too, but I'm sure he had the conditions for the slime. If there was water nearby, it would make your body bigger at once... and it would have been a slime land."

"If that slime, Neddy, had grown in the water without ice, I wouldn't have been able to catch my eye... it might have happened to me that Lake Mercena was all slime."

With that in mind, Neddy was right to be born on Lake Mersena and keep ice pickling the slime. If Reurus didn't come, Neddy would have been swallowed by the slime, and a second "country eater" could have been born.

"... speaking of which, the slime and that black object seem similar. The latter feels more dangerous, but it's fundamentally similar....."

Reurus, who threw the worst future picture out of his brain, simply asked Vaniel what he could hear.

"A slime... I'm sure it's similar. Regardless of the body," nuclear "is“ yes. "

"... I thought it looked like Slime's 'Nucleus', but that's what this is all about."

In other words, if you could even cut it, you could kill the black sphere. The problem was that the body was strong enough to be slashed even with the "Dragon Slash", even if it was a tentacle.

"This time, space is rarely cracked on the scale of what happened in the town of Lemona. But it can happen more often than on a smaller scale. Powerful magic collides with each other, sometimes it happens naturally... and it can tear the space apart even though it's small."

"... every time the 'nucleus' falls out of the crack in space, a slime is born?

"I can only say that depends on the situation. Not all the time, before the space cracks. If we're unlucky, we'll be out... of this kind of disaster."

My body, too, seems to be filled with wonders in this world, just like in previous life.

(Rebirth, "rarity", space cracking, that black sphere... the trouble is that I can hardly do anything.)

Nothing can be done with your own actions. Elvish, just try to stay what Vaniel calls "human.”

― ― Reurus didn't realize that such cuts were not human either.
