Gun-ota ga Mahou Sekai ni Tensei Shitara, Gendai Heiki de Guntai Harem o Tsukucchaimashita!?
Episode 352: Lance Past Edition Friends
I dreamed.
I was forced to come to the back of the school building now and was stripped of my clothes in the middle of the winter.
I get naked and sprinkled with a bucket of water that was accumulating rainwater in the funny half.
My whole body trembles with cold, remorse, and sadness.
The voices of the figs echo to the cerebral cord as they echo in their ears.
I hold my ear and squat, but my scornful voice, curse, and mockery keep my ear shut. It's like it's dripping directly into your brain miso.
When I looked up, I had a friend.
I raise my voice to ask for help, but he turns his back and rushes out as he takes one or two steps and retreats.
I scream but his legs don't stop.
I scream many times but the cursing around me stays out of my ears.
No one can help me. [M]
Hell.
This is hell.
I wanna die. I wanna die. I wanna die. I wanna die. Sinitai...
"Ahhhhhhh!"
A voice drawn to fear.
Jump up and check your surroundings in a hurry.
The room was so dark that I couldn't even see my own hands.
When my eyes get used to me, I remember that I was reborn as Prince of the great Meltia and that I was in my chambers.
When I calmed down, I understood that I had also (,) nightmares - dreamed of events of my previous life.
My whole body is wet with cold sweat and the bedding I'm wearing is also as damp and uncomfortable as dipped in water.
There are tear marks on cheeks as well.
I wiped the mess off my face with the hem.
A maid walks into the room when she hears a scream.
He raised his hand gently and gave instructions to get ready to change.
The maid looks used to it, too, and I'll go get dressed.
I changed clothes with my hand and also changed a set of bed sheets, duvets, etc.
It is not unusual to jump up like this.
I still drag on past life events, often every three days.
This is definitely how I get nightmares and jump up at least once every seven days.
My parents know I'm having nightmares.
He told me he didn't remember what his dream was about. My parents seem to mistake it for 'My son jumps up in a nightmare because he's delicate'.
I am optimistic that it will fit in as an adult.
You think it's like on a male extension line.
…………
I dive into the changed bed. [M]
I didn't feel like meditating my eyes right away because I was going to have that nightmare again when I meditated my eyes.
I stare jizzily at the back of the lid.
I thought I would soon forget about witchcraft and demons, swords and adventures, coming to such a fantastic world and things from my previous life.
But I still have nightmares. [M]
The trauma of the past is unforgettable and it is still dragging on even when it is reborn.
(How can I escape from a past where I can't escape rebirth...)
On sleepless nights, I keep thinking about that.
But there's no way I'm gonna get an answer.
The sleeper came on the verge of the morning sun rising.

Guest room.
In sunny weather, the light coming out the window illuminates the entire room.
Today is the day to meet my friend candidate.
Candidates for friends were already sitting on the couch when they entered the room.
I cut my hair short and put my sleeves through fine clothing.
I heard he was the same age, but he looked about five years older.
She has a good physique, but closes her eyes and sits docilely on the couch with her arms together.
Despite being in a castle in a big country, I guess attitudes and atmospheres like executive roles make him look older than he is.
Sitting face-to-face, he gives a brief introduction and leaves a maid saying, 'From here on out, just the young', leaving him in the room.
('Just a young man', where's the pageant...)
Unexpectedly, I feel like taking a sigh of relief.
He's a referring friend candidate, race, mage A plus, and Altrius Arger.
He seems to be the next top confirmed figure for the world's oldest legion (Legion), Kurihara (01).
At the moment, with the same mage A plus grade as his father, the commander of the regiment, you think his strength is already exceeded?
The future is sure to reach the magician S level.
Hachihara (01) and the great country Mertier have long been cordial and also have blood ties.
So at the same age with a solid identity, I guess a promising Altrius was introduced as a candidate for friend in the future.
…………
…………
Me and Altrius were silent, pinching the incense tea the maid had brewed for us.
I don't know what to tell you, but I'm silent.
Sitting across the street, he also finishes his greeting, putting his arms together again and closing his eyes.
He expressed his whole body that he was not going to shake the topic from himself.
At the same age, I would be an overwhelming adult, including in my previous life.
You should shake the subject here as an adult.
So, what topic should I shake?
In a previous life, a conversation with a friend - Digita-kun's face immediately came to mind.
Bitter things gush out of my chest.
It bites my back teeth off reflexively and makes me look bitter.
(... In my last life, I had no decent friends. That's all there is to it)
I whine in my chest like I tell myself.
Change your mind. Find the topic.
(Sure, you hear me, but the stories about guys getting together were about 'cars', 'booze', 'women')
'Car' is not in this world, but I wouldn't have a problem talking about 'hobbies'.
I cough, and then I talk to Altrius, who sits in the front.
"Oh, you know what Arger's hobby is?
"... nothing in particular"
The conversation ends.
Altrius didn't even open his eyes, and told him he was bored with his arms together.
Silence reigns over the room again.
Shh, people have their own hobbies, and there are people who have no hobbies.
It just so happens that he's tasteless.
I can't talk about booze next because I'm only ten years old. [M] So shake the story of 'Favorite Food'.
"So, what's your favorite food or something? I like sweets made with honey. I think it tastes sweeter with sugar. Where's Arger?
"... nothing in particular"
I get kicked again.
Now I was the first to convey this preference so that the story could be easily spread.
Nonetheless, Altrius replies with his eyes closed and arms together.
I'm going to cry.
It's already breaking my heart.
Why should I be the only one who cares so much...
At the end of the day, ask questions mostly with a throw.
"So, what's your favorite girl or something? Or the type of girl you prefer."
"... women and all that crap"
For the first time, I got an answer other than 'nothing in particular'!
I was happy to grasp the thread of the conversation and kept talking. [M]
"Why would a girl give a shit?"
"Because it's crap, I'm saying crap"
"That's not the answer at all. I've learned that there are fairy races, beast races, demon races, dragon races, and so on, but I've only seen race. What kind of kids are there? I'd like to see it sometime."
This is a truth that is not false.
I still want to see the elves, dark elves, and beast-eared girls as a memory of my previous life.
I can't go outside the castle right now because of my kids.
All the maids, soldiers and other servants, because of their race, were the first to say, 'Royal life!' So it was fresh, but I got used to it.
I rather learn in class that there are other races now, but I regret that I have never seen them.
I want to grow up fast and go outside.
Legion would be face-to-face with a lot of people regardless of race.
So there are some aspects that I asked with interest in mind.
Altrius opened his eyelid for the first time and looked at me.
"Women are all the same. By and large, I and your future opponents are determined to be racial women. There's no point in talking about women of other races."
"Yes, but... maybe you'll like kids from other races. Then, even if it's hard for your real wife, can you do it for the Second Lady or something?
Polygamy is not uncommon in this other world.
Rather, it is natural to have more than one wife, such as a nobleman, a big business, or a mage.
Because of the world where demons are at high risk of trekking, women tend to gather among those with power, power, and financial power.
"Maybe Arger will like kids from other races besides his fiancée in the future, too?
Let's talk about it. It's... it's not a topic for a ten-year-old.
Altrius laughed at my point with his nose.
"Impossible. Like liking my woman."
"Cute raven ears, for example, with big breasts and family. Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if there was a good wife, a smart mother, who would make everyone feel better just to be there?
"Shit. I would never like a woman."
To give just one example that comes to mind, he becomes murky and denies it.
These seemingly unattainable, sturdy figures unexpectedly fit into a particular woman.
But for the first time, he showed me vegan emotions on the table.
I have such a funny attitude that I accidentally zero my grin. [M]
You felt Altrius made a fool out of you. Make your expression hard.
"What's wrong..."
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to make a fool of myself. I just thought you were the oligarchy type, but surprisingly, it's funny to put emotions on the table."
"Mmmm..."
Altrius reflexively touches his own face with one hand.
I felt like I was just a kid around here.
- I remember the faces of the previous life, Japan, and Digita, but I shake them off again and turn to Altrius.
"This is my first time making friends, so I'm not sure I'm on my own, but I'm going to say hello"
"... I've never had a friend either. I don't know what to do. So let me do what I want, so let Lance do what he wants."
"Okay, Arger."
"Ah, stop it. They are called 'alts' by those close to them. Call me Lance, too."
Something's wrong with him saying blurry, and I zero my laugh again.
I got up off the couch and reached out.
"Regards, Alto"
Alto gets up in silence, he shakes his hand.
This is how I made my first friend.
