I felt a little sorry for Gus. [M]
Because I remember living and dying once, even though I am thin, the knowledge of this is not possible for toddlers. [M]
I feel like I'm cheating, I mean canning, I feel like I'm cheating.
If you refer to the qualities of birth as talent, the memory of a previous life may be among the talents...
"Ko, Ko here, this kid could be a genius............!!
And, jumping out of the room, or pushing through the wall to the hall, I see the gas talking to Marie and Brad...
How uncomfortable or what?
"Oh well. Grandpa Gus, what's going on?
"Oh Marie, that's it………!
and Gus is excited about what he just said to Marie.
The ability to make a theory is so age-appropriate, insightful, the ability to grasp the essence is a magical talent, and the blue and white ghost figure is a powerful theory.
"Well..."
Gus' story is exciting and one-sided, but Marie listens to it in a quiet manner.
Speaking of the skeleton Brad, keep your back on the wall. I'm not interested.
"This could be of any use if we plant a lot of things from now on!
I honestly thought it was an extra pick up, but not an unexpected one. "
Huh...
"Hey, Grandpa."
That's, like, a whip.
For a moment when I was stiff on the unexpected words of Gus, the voice was emitted before any thought ran.
Look, it's from Brad on the wall. With his vain orbits, the blue and white flames were burning.
"What do you want me to do with the extra stuff?
... he's only two or three years old or that kid over there. You don't have 'extra pickup'. "
I found myself staring at the gas.
"……… Let's pick up the stuff. Originally, I didn't get involved."
"That's not the problem."
"Now that you know you're talented, you can just plant it."
"That's not even the problem."
Brad took one step.
From its entire body, I feel like an invisible aura is rising.
... Speaking of which, I had never been more aware because this one is in toddler shape, but Brad is very big. The skeleton is also thick.
"Hey......"
When it is awesome in this way, the power that just looks at it from the side doesn't go out of style comes through astonishingly.
"It's Grandpa Gus. You don't even think of people as people. I know you're a money keeper.
I don't even know what to do with it now, and I think you're the one.
Still. Still, in front of the kid, you don't call him 'extra pickup'.
… you can imagine how it would feel to ask. "
Brad takes a good look at me, and then puts his gaze back on Gus.
I was surprised.
".................. Mm, ooh"
That arrogant, bigoted gas is being pushed.
Usually Brad says he's more of a whisperer to Gus and Marie with a big mess.
"If you're not involved in raising Will, you can say anything you don't see. But if you're gonna teach him, don't give him that kind of crap."
I guess that's the muscle, isn't it? said Brad.
………………
Gus remained silent for a while.
Then he shook slowly and breathed.
"Sure, that sounds a little far-fetched. Let's be a little more careful in the future.... I'm sorry, Will."
"Oh, no..."
Gus admitted his inaction and pulled back.
This is the first time I've seen a landscape like this since I met them.
I was upset, but I said something to put the place away. [M]
I can't settle this without my permission. [M]
"That's fine, Gus. I don't care."
So, anyway, that's what I said.
Then Brad also turned angry and lowered his head slightly against Gus.
"... I was suddenly awesome and rude too, evil no. Well, my misconduct is usual, and give me a break, Grandpa."
Gus, too, nodded to Eagle Deep a little late.
"Hey, Marie, let me borrow Will for a second."
"Yeah, go ahead.... Grandpa Gus, if you don't mind, why don't you talk to me a little more?
Marie looked down at the interaction between the two with her usual serene expression.
"…… Will, let's go outside for a moment"
"Ugh, yeah."
For a moment, I couldn't grasp the meaning of what happened.
There's just one thing for sure.
Brad got angry.
... for my sake, I was angry.
◆
The ruins of the city were still beautiful today.
The morning light of the sun is glittering as it reflects on the lake.
"Uh... what the hell, Will"
... the skeleton sitting on the hill staring at it was a very mismatched sight.
"You may not know anything because it's the situation you've been looking at since you first realized..."
Brad scratched his skull, wondering what he had explained.
"Well, but you know what? Me, Marie, Grandpa Gus, and you're different."
"Uh, yeah. I know. It's just me, warm, breathing."
"Well, that's the thing. …… a lot of things. There are many things………………."
I was wondering if there was any circumstance regarding my whereabouts.
An abandoned city. Immortals.
One of them is a living human toddler.
It's an unnatural situation.
Gus called it 'extra pickup', so maybe it's a throwaway or something.
Around Marie is maternal, so she picked it up and thought Gus didn't need that, or...
Though this speculation will be made, the truth will not be known unless it is explained in the end. And
"……… I can't explain yet."
"Yeah."
It will be like that for boulders.
I don't care how much wisdom seems to turn around in an age-appropriate way, I wouldn't say that you are a picked up child or anything about the circumstances involved in that context against a two year old. Get down normally.
Brad raised his hands to say that he was doing well.
I snort accordingly.
... Oh, did Brad get angry because he made a careless statement about the kid, but also because he almost zeroed in on the situation around him?
"Uh... don't get mad at me about Grandpa Gus, either.
That's him. He has a bad habit of putting things in his mouth that he thought would excite him.
Besides, I don't usually choose words or think about them at all. "
"Yeah. Nothing, I'm not mad at you. I'm just a little surprised.
And maybe it was to distract me that I got angry with the momentum.
When I was told "extra pickup," I made a fuss and strayed from thinking while I understood what it meant and didn't have any negative feelings for Gus.
"Mm-hmm. Well, you have a big heart, Will. Big is a good thing.
... When your body is a little older than your heart and you can take a lot of things...
I'll tell you what I can't tell you right now. "
"Yeah."
It's for me.
If you know what I mean, Brad's been amazingly distracting me.
Brad is an amazing guy.
... Would I have done that to someone before I died? [M] Would it have been possible?
Vague memories, but maybe, I couldn't do so much...... for a moment, mostly. No, not at all.
That kind of clogged my chest a little.
"Hey, Brad."
"Mm, what?"
"Uh, thank you. … a lot."
That's why I can't say well.
In the end, I could only thank you for that.
"... Ha ha, don't worry about it"
I don't know the look on Doc's face, but now Brad seems to have laughed.
I'm going to squirt my hair. [M]
"Well, once again, let's hope Gus learns how to do some magic.
What a brilliant wizard, Grandpa.
I have more money than that. "
Even so, Brad snorted and laughed at his jaw bones, wondering what money was about.
"Besides, if Gus teaches magic, I'll teach him everything! Look forward to it!
"……… Ugh. What does Brad teach you?
I wonder why.
Brad doesn't really have the impression that it's academic...
"Mm, violence."
Eh.
"Violence. How to get around the rampage. And how to build muscles?
"What?"
"…… convenient, huh?
◆
"Brad has always been..."
Marie started talking like that, sitting alongside me on a bench in the temple hall.
"... uh, lifetime? That means, after all..."
"Yeah. We didn't do this from the beginning either.... Well, here's what happened.
Saying so, Marie laughed a little lonely.
... I couldn't ask what happened.
Even if I asked, they would have made fun of me.
But let's remember. They looked like skeletons, mummies and ghosts from nothing, that's not what they are.
Though in my lifetime memory, when it comes to moving corpses, it's classic that the mindless and obsessed dead are dragged by passion...
I don't know if that's the classic street or not.
I still don't have much information about this world that I can get from a young child.
... I decided to live in this world. Let's not make too many predictions like that so it doesn't take weird biases.
"All his life, he was a warrior."
"Warrior."
"Warrior. I'm talking about a man who fights with a weapon in his hand, it's a boy's longing, isn't it?"
Is such a profession, to some extent, an old social system?
Well, even looking at the ruins of that city, I thought that would be about it... but I knew there was some human strife.
If this is to live in this world, it seems better to learn to fight. Then I'm glad Brad was there.
"Brad was really strong, wasn't he? He had extensive experience and high skill, and he still does.
Including battles between humans, beasts, demons, undead, giants, dragons, demons, whatever. Come on, come on. "
"Heh..."
And I hammered, and I froze.
"..................... Um, Marie?
"Yes?"
"What now?
"Beasts, demons, demons, undead, giants, dragons, including battles between humans……"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Let's calm down.
Nothing. It's not like a monster I knew in my lifetime, it should be.
"Humans know each other but...... what else, what?
"Oh.... oh well, sorry"
And Marie laughed.
Right, you didn't tell me, but there's no way you could tell, right?
And, in a quiet way, I think, hey.
"Uh, there must have been a drawing in Grandpa Gus's room..."
Here you are, Marie pulled my hand and headed to the small stone room in the temple, the chamber of Gus.
Gus was unfortunately absent, but Marie borrows the drawings on her own.
"This is what you call a beast. Hungry wolves, lions, serpents..."
In the fine painting, there were animals that I knew.
Even though I said I saw it, I knew it before I died, and it was a TV show feature or something.
......... Wah, Wah, Natsukashiner.
"We learned the myth from the gas, right?
The Great God of the Original Fathers made all sorts of things, but he also created the predisposition of evil, and he himself was cut off from life by evil gods.
And the evil gods followed their nature, and produced various kinds of families. "
Marie turns the page flat.
"Families of Iltreet, the God of despotism and tyranny, demons......"
Were you on the turned page... ghost, is it close?
A little cunning, brutal little boy ghost, or a big, muscular, still brutal ghost.
"The family of the Dimensional God Deer Rigma, the demons more than Natsuo......"
Were you close to being a demon or a nightmare dropper?
A poorly done calicature that mixes human and various animal parts together in a mess.
Creepy beings such as bird-headed humans and spiders that brought several arms to life like legs.
"And the Undead, the family of the Immortal Stagnate..."
On a rotting corpse or a skeleton like Brad, a ghost like Gas, a mummy like Marie.
But from the pictorial side of the drawing, I can't feel the intelligence of the three of us.
"... we made a covenant with the Immortals."
The pompous and whining words were terribly dark.
"Because of my strong thoughts at death, I signed a contract with Stagnate to look like this.
… the traitor of the good faction, "
The words seem so sad.
"- What happened?
I overheard. [M]
It may have been a monologue that I shouldn't have stepped into, but I couldn't help stepping into it.
"Heh heh...... a lot. I'm sorry, I told a little kid a weird story."
Marie laughed. It was a bitter grin.
Then try to re-compartmentalize and continue the conversation.
"Besides the families of these evil gods, there are of course the families of the good gods.
Elves, dwarves, halflings. "
"Marie......"
"There are also neutral, yet extremely powerful species that do not belong to either faction, such as giants and dragons.
Some of them are followers of the good gods, but also of the evil gods.
… the world is vast, the races are diverse, and the pictures are only typical. "
I could see she was deliberately off topic, but she didn't seem willing to put it back.
…………
So I did, too.
If we don't talk, we don't have the means to talk.
All this would be pointless to waste.
"... I mean, what's this world... so dangerous?
"Yeah. It's dangerous. When I was alive, there was peace for me… but I think it's getting worse now."
And I kept going, and a great statement came out.
I don't know what basis you're talking about.
"... Me, should I get stronger?
"When you do, I'm relieved too..."
In the meantime, I decided to spare no effort to be strong.
Because apparently I can't live in this world unless I'm tough.
At the same time, I tried to remember the hints of the various circumstances that the three of them seem to have.
These three have provided me with no power whatsoever and are still trying to empower me to live.
Before I was reborn into this body, instead of being able to do much filial service to my parents for doing the same thing, I just got annoyed and worried.
Instead, I didn't mean to, but I thought that if I grew up enough one day, I would like to repay you properly.
