Isekai Taneuma

The Watershed of Life and Death

When Mitra, one of the Five Spirits, invited him to the end of his life on earth, Leonardo was reborn into this world. Having thus acquired a new flesh, he finally completes "Fantastic Vision", which embodies the fantasy of grief in his second life. And with the memory of the previous life and its power, I succeeded in defeating the Demon King with the brave man.....

I think that was the end of it, but it wasn't. Sure enough, the demon king is gone, but as always, the world is divided into demons, priests, humans, and beasts, and there was no sign of an end.

So even after the Spirit disappeared, he was still searching for something called a complete human being. According to the Spirit, at least every struggle in this world took place because the gods tried to create a complete human being. Perhaps a complete human being, that is, a highly civilized society, he began to work with the brave to guide the people of this world. But it quickly frustrates me.

As I mentioned before, the Beast is retarded. It was impossible to indoctrinate them without creativity, rather than talking about their low literacy rate as in the Middle Ages. So, if we modernize this world, perhaps the Wesen will be eliminated.

Speaking of natural order, until then, can I destroy the original demon tribe, even the Beast? Isn't that the same as the Demon King?

The brave man went crazy while he was worried. Until then, I had little interest in women, but I made women everywhere, and it became a spark that led to the great war later.

As the heroes were assassinated and the companions who fought with them fell down one after the other, Leonardo, who survived alone, could not do anything afterwards and remained in the world. It is probably the Spirit's influence that keeps him alive, because no ordinary human being, not a priest, can live this long. He still has a role to play.

"What do spirits say?

Feng asked. Leonardo shook his head in silence.

"I don't know."

"Why not? Isn't he able to talk to spirits?

"Spirits are inhabitants of the high-dimensional world. It's everywhere, but I need a trick to see it. The Spirit answers everything, but I can't expect complicated answers. Only yes or no, at best. It's not that I spare you, and perhaps even if they want to tell you, they won't understand. To understand them, we need to understand the higher dimensions first."

"Then how did Grandpa know the name of the Spirit and its purpose? Isn't that because you talked to the spirits?

Feng was still not convinced and asked persistently about it.

"I suppose that's because I put one foot in the coffin when the pigeon was there. My consciousness was cloudy and my mind was considerably weak. I thought I could die now. At that time, the Spirit would have shown mystery to the spirits, just as a human being floated with heat would have seen hallucinations."

"In other words, it's more convenient for me to talk to spirits when I'm crazy...."

I see. Just like you did earlier. "

Feng nodded back.

"That's right... what the hell was that? When I thought that I had lost consciousness with mushrooms, it seemed like I was watching a movie, and one after the other, the footage flowed into my head. Someday, I think I was talking to everybody about it... but I don't have that kind of memory, and I don't have any reason to think of it all of a sudden. Am I supposed to be seen in the future?

"From what we're talking about, maybe."

"Is that possible? I'm not a prophet, am I?

"If you're a Christian prophet, you're not like that... but knowing the future isn't as special as you think."

"No way! Then can Grandpa know the future?

When Feng answered in surprise, Leonardo naturally said,

"It's not a simple story. If you want to know the future, you can ask the Lord."

"... eh?

"You must be a man from a future you don't know. These worlds are filled with people from different times, such as James, Guillaume, and the Lord. Then it would be strange for anyone to know the future you don't know. Not to mention if it's a spirit."

"... sure."

Feng had no choice but to shut up. Of course, just because you're gone doesn't mean the world is gone. As long as humanity is not destroyed, the future will last forever. However, he remembered the mysterious experience and could not help but roar. If that is a future event, the content is too bad.

"If the footage I just saw is true... is it true that mankind was destroyed by the Lucion that I created...?

But Leonardo denied it.

"... I don't know about that."

"Eh...?

He pulled his stubborn beard.

"If so, where do humans come from in this world? What about the priests and the demons? Besides, it is not humans that are about to be eliminated in this world, but rather beasts."

"... if they say so."

"Perhaps what you saw is still going on. Your spirit must have come back before the Spirit showed it to you."

"Then, if I fly again with a mushroom, can I see the continuation...?

"Maybe. But I think we should stop today."

Feng nodded back. That transformation was intense. I couldn't force myself to do that, but if I kept doing that, I could really be a junkie. Besides, I knew best that I was exhausted right now.

"I will tell the elder about the situation and try again at a later date. The Beast is not accommodating, but if Grandpa asks, he may ask honestly. Can you do me a favor?

"I don't mind that much. I'm worried about you too."

"Later, I told Mary about my cousin... so where did she go?

I thought I was at home before I flew with a couscous. If I noticed, I wouldn't see Jeanne.

"Speaking of which……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… I completely forgot about her. Sure, I thought you said it was because the baby was about to start....."

It was when they were looking for Mary. From outside the village, mixed with the voices of the elders who kept talking.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

I heard a loud scream. As they were looking for him, they knew the Lord of the voice instantly.

Mary's voice!

I wonder when I left the village, just to be a little distracted. No, it's better to scream now than that. Feng and the others hurried towards the one who heard the scream.

Shortly before Feng transformed into a mushroom... Mary had been sleepy since the morning. The birth of a pregnant woman who was dying of a malaria riot is likely to start today. Maybe it has something to do with the baby in the stomach. She had no choice but to be concerned.

Unlike Mary, the village women seemed to be at ease because they were used to giving birth. When she leaked her anxiety, she was lightly told that she would be okay if she wasn't. I wasn't sure what was going to be okay, but I'm sure Mary was trying to ease the tension. She was wandering around in the house.

I went to the guild and called Leonardo for the occasion. In fact, I am much more familiar with medicine than Feng, so I can rely on it at these times. When he came to the village, he looked at the phoenix ritual that had begun in the square in an interesting way.

The phoenix blurted up a difficult story as if he had become a real priest. My eyes are bloody and I feel like someone else. Mary, a saint, had a feeling she didn't understand, but it seems that if someone with no extra magical qualities overdosed with MP potions, it could get worse. When this happens, I get in trouble because whatever I say doesn't make sense, but it's interesting to see it from the side, so I wanted to see Mary with me if I didn't have a baby.

With that in mind, the village women began to squirm. Looks like the baby's about to start. The women took the pregnant woman out of the village to hide from the men who were obsessed with the story of Feng. Where does giving birth take place in a village with no privacy? Though I thought it would be impossible in the village, to say the least. Mary followed them.

I wanted Leonardo to follow me if possible, but it would be bad to say that I couldn't. If the time is not right, it is better, and I will let you like it until then. Jeanne followed me instead, but the village girls refused. Maybe because he's a man. Mary left a soggy Jeanne there and went into the woods with everyone.

The property was carried out in the forest. When was it ready? In the space opened for delivery, simple beds were made of poor cloth and dead leaves. The water bottle brought in contained plenty of water from the nearby river, and cloth gathered from all over the village was boiled and disinfected in a pot heated by fire.

The birth begins, and the bitter voice of the pregnant woman sticks to the surroundings. Along with the voice to say more, some characteristic breathing sounds of the Rammers method continued, and Mary also put her strength into harmony with it without realizing it. Soon after, the women started to move busily, and Mary was driven by them.

Isn't it a situation where the women can stay with Mary anymore? She didn't see the state of the birth, but all she could tell was that it was going well. The pregnant woman did not give birth for the first time, but seemed to have given birth several times, and it was likely to settle sooner than expected.

And before Mary was watching while she was harassed, her voice grew louder and louder at the suffering of the pregnant woman. At the same time, the women who supported her became busy and finally gave birth to the babies she had been waiting for.

The midwife, who was constantly encouraging the pregnant woman, quickly picked up the baby, cut the cord, and slapped the baby's upside down buttocks with bread, and the baby started crying.

At that moment, the tension surrounding me eased, and the voices of the women who had been flying like angers until now and the groans of the pregnant women stopped. Hand the baby taken by the midwife to the pregnant woman. When the pregnant woman who became a mother received the child, she stared at the crying face with a merciful expression.

It's an impressive sight....

Mary looked at the mother and child in a carefree manner.

Wesen babies were a little smaller than humans, and their heads looked more like moles than monkeys. The crying figure is incredibly energetic that she was in her mother's belly until now. Wesen grow fast, and I can't imagine it because it's only about 10 years old and grows like a gargantuar.

If you look at her, who has been alive for 300 years, ten years is a quick event. This is also the edge of something. Mary wanted to see this child grow up with her eyes someday. And for that time, I looked back at the woman who was right next door, trying to remember what day of the month it was today.

The women who had been busy until now stood behind her with a serious expression. They were spread out in a semicircle so as to surround the woman who had just been born with my son.

Though the expression of the beast was difficult to understand, Mary was puzzled that the atmosphere did not seem to celebrate the birth. Maybe that baby looks fine and finds something uncomfortable...? Anxious, Mary stared at the baby her mother was holding. But there's nothing funny about the baby.

Then why do all these women feel like they're staying up all night? Confused, she whispered to the mother that the midwife would whisper something in her ear.

The mother, who heard it, kept away from the midwife in a manner that seemed to wipe out the feathers. But once the banished midwife whispered to her again, her mother's face, which until then had been staring at her mercy for the baby, turned darker and darker.

And the midwife was the last, you know? As soon as she slapped her on the shoulder, her mother nodded expressionless and gently lowered the baby, who had been more important to her than life. The midwife leaves her when she sees it. The mother looked away at the midwife... and at her babies lying still on the ground without looking at Mary.

Mary couldn't figure out why she did it... she twisted her neck and wondered why her mother wouldn't hold the crying baby. What happened to the midwife she approached? I asked. But the midwife just shook her head silently and, like the other women, went into the half-circle surrounding her mother.

I don't know... I have a bad feeling about this...

Mary got annoyed by the atmosphere. She didn't know what was going to happen for this period, but she just had a very bad feeling that something was going to happen.

And then... the mother who was surrounded by the attention of the women moved to the wipe. She lifted up the baby lying on the ground a little. And what would Mary do? Before I could see it, I twisted the child's neck to the side.

It was for a moment. I didn't have time to organize my feelings. It was a quick event. Quickly, with the comfort of strangling the little animal she had caught, her mother broke the neck of the baby she had just given birth to.

Mary saw the sight and had no idea what was going on. However, even if reason refuses to think, the body seems to have understood what just happened in front of it.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!

When she noticed, Mary was screaming.

When the feng who heard Mary scream rushed, it was like a battlefield. When they were gone, the women of the village gathered together, raised their hysterical screams and waved their arms in chaos as their faces turned bright red.

What the hell are they mad at? Confused, Jeanne was rubbed in the middle, and Mary was squatting at her feet. The women seemed to be killing there.

You just gave birth, or a naked woman in the lower half is about to jump on Mary like crazy. Jeanne is desperately being tackled by her mother to protect her from such attacks.

Refreshed and confused about what was happening, she noticed that her little life was getting cold under Mary, who was squatting on the ground. Is that a newborn baby? I wonder if she miscarried... no, she didn't.

The moment Feng saw it, he felt that his whole body's blood was drawing down.

"What are you doing!

And a little late, and now Gargantuar and the men from the village rushed in.

When they realized that Mary and the women were rubbing together, they hurried in between them to stop the fight.

But the women who scream hysterically are excited and can't reach. When I tried to stop him badly, he turned back and was completely ravaged, and the men were incredibly weak. Normally big Mary keeps screaming as if she doesn't know what she's talking about anymore.

I've never seen Mary so excited. Feng, who was confused and unable to move, was told by Gargantuar to take her anyway, and he ran away in the opposite direction from the village, choking on her as she burst into tears.

Looking back, Gargantuar was beaten by excited women. The men were desperately trying to forgive them, but they didn't hit them and they just seemed to be beaten in the end.

Dragging Mary into trouble, Feng managed to get to the riverbank, which was somehow far from the village.

Tired of screaming and thirsty, she approached the river flutteringly and drank the water. So I wondered if she was a little chilly... when Feng asked her what had happened to her as she turned big and stunned in the river.

She remembered that time, or she was hiccupping and crying like she'd been silent for a while. When Feng tried to give up... finally narrowing her voice, she told me what had happened there.

And what she told me was a shocking event for the modern Phoenix.

The birth ended well. But the baby was killed on the spot. Mary was surprised to pick up the baby and try to revive it. All of a sudden, Mary was rubbed to pieces when her mother suddenly told her that she had her baby.

Just now, she killed herself... and she was under attack until Jeanne ran into her dead baby.

"Why did he kill his newborn baby? Why?"

Mary's sad voice pierces her chest. However, Feng was shocked by the words, but was somehow confused that someone was accepting the fact.

What Mary witnessed was probably deception.

If you think about it, in the depths of a jungle like this, if you were giving birth to a child without thinking about it, one day the food would run out and the village would not have been able to stand for a long time ago. In order not to do so, childbirth must be adjusted.

However, the world's technological capabilities make contraception and abortion difficult. No condoms, no doctors, no endoscopes. If you're still pregnant, what's the best way to avoid hurting your mother...?

It was infanticide.

In retrospect, when Feng was accepted by the village, the elders would have allowed him to have a wife and ten family members. I didn't think about it at that time, but if I thought carefully about what it meant, I should have known. Here, as a matter of course, a mouthwatering was carried out.

But Feng didn't think they were particularly ugly. In fact, the problem is that everywhere on the planet, everywhere in the world, it used to be the norm. In the twenty-first century, there are still untapped tribes that still have those customs.

Humans are animals that pessimise the future but do so against their own minds.

Even women in Gargantuar villages don't want to kill their newborn babies. Otherwise, however, the village could be wiped out. As long as they live in the village, they will not be able to disobey the code. So it was terrible to blame them, and Feng tried to talk to Mary.

"But you just don't have to have sex like that, right?

However, Mary said back that she was pissed.

"If you can't stand the village when you have kids, you just have to endure it, right? Why should a newly born baby take their own corrupt work? That's funny. Am I wrong!?

Feng couldn't say anything back.

All three religions forbid evil, and their work is a sin that they must atone for. Why should a child bear the sin for the momentary pleasure of his parents? Children are not the property of their parents. At least that's how Feng himself lived.

What difference does it make between them and those seniors who basically had sex just for pleasure and ended up killing their children? Isn't that what Feng hates the most? They were glad to come to the world and be told to hold as many women as they wanted. But as a result, the Kazuya who gave birth to their children threw themselves into battle knowing they would lose... is that ridiculous? Feng could not laugh at the actions they took for the children they were born into.

But then, what was the demon tribe they've killed so far? Isn't that a pregnant woman? While killing every child in her belly, the demon tribe is so disturbed by the killing of the newborn child now. What's that watershed?

Mary is right and understandable. However, Feng could not agree to it honestly. Because he felt like he understood the feelings of the villagers.

But I didn't really know either of them.

"No, Mary. They're the ones who're wrong! I know there are many circumstances, but there must be good and bad things to do. 'Cause it's too sad to have a newborn baby killed!

When Jeanne said so and affirmed Mary clearly, she sneezed her face and began to cry again. Jeanne hugged Mary like she was covering herself, and he burst into tears together.

Feng could only look at those two with their troubled faces. Because he couldn't cry with Mary and the villagers... either way, like Jeanne.

Leonardo came, poking him in the side with his elbows. He turned his heel back to respond to it and turned his back to the two of them, hugging and sobbing.

Feng couldn't say that Mary was right, like Jeanne.

That's because he can't have a child... or just because he's cold... no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't know it.
