Reincarnated as a Villager ~ Strongest Slow-life
690 Professor Leiko
... ghosts emit light...
Mr. Leiko lights up in the dark. Why don't you stop glowing? It's a sleep disturbance.
"Mr. Leiko. Could you turn down the lights, please?
It's the type of person who can't fall asleep until it's dark in his past life and in his present life... but I'm worried that he can shine in front of me.
"... is it because you think you've been insulted...?
I'm not insulting you. However, I am confused with the appliance. I want it to be equipped with a self-timer or something.
"Well, fine. I'm sorry, but this is the limit because it depends on your emotions"
I have feelings for ghosts, even now. Because you're already a ghost like your emotions are in shape, Mr. Leiko.
"What are you making me so emotional?
Instead of emitting light, you were translucent. I guess that's normal, huh?
"... accepted..."
Mr. Leiko smiles calmly. No, because I'm scared if they do it in the dark. You don't have to be a Dark Elf to scream.
"My family doesn't like people."
It's only a miracle in this day and age.
"Huf. That includes Master Bei."
"I don't deny you like people."
Well, I won't even leak my intentions.
"How can Master Bei be accepted? I'm still a ghost if I'm a different species."
I turned my attention to Doremi, who would be Pritsuman and my pillow sleeping in a bed placed on the enclosure.
"They're all similar, aren't they?"
There's no difference between a Merchant and a ghost if you're the only one with memories of a previous life. I don't understand it, but...
"It's like being indifferent or stupid to say that."
"Then I'm an idiot. Because I want to live with someone other than myself."
Indifference is sufficient only in previous life. I'm going to live in people this life.
"... I envy you..."
Even if I can feel the words and thoughts, I can't see Mr. Reiko's past at all. Similar to Mr. Resident, this one is completely far-reaching. Something's wrong with being able to understand very well.
But I can guess from that feeling.
"If you think I envy you, you can get involved now. I know it's hard for the Dark Elves, but I don't think the others care if Mr. Leiko is a ghost. At least my family doesn't care. Say good morning and you'll give it back to me."
"Right."
Mr. Leiko laughs sadly. Damn, a caring ghost or something.
"The world and time we live in are different. That's natural. If the dead get involved with the living. Sad, but only unfortunate."
That's what I said myself. Says the living only thank the dead.
"But. It is an indisputable fact that Mr. Leiko is there. It exists at this hour in this world. No one can deny that. If you deny it, it leads you to deny yourself. I'm here. I'm proud to be here. Then how can you deny what you saw with this eye, what you felt with your heart, what you touched with this hand? Mr. Leiko is here. I'm here. Absolutely in me."
I've decided to live with someone else, deny their existence!
"Oh, my God, that's on my own. If you want to deny it, deny it."
I don't think I want to be recognized.
"... Am I, being..."
"It is Mr. Reiko himself who decides that. Do as you please."
If you decide, I'll affirm it unconditionally.
"… I want to engage with the world…"
As something increased in presence, so did the luminescence. Evolved into something?
"Bye. Why don't you be a teacher?
"Doctor, is it?
"Oh, to the teacher who teaches you how to study."
When I thought about educating Liam and Nono, I was also thinking about establishing a school together.
Teachers are fine with Barilla, but I want the two of them to grow up to be kids who can think world-wide. Then Mr. Leiko hit it and put it on. Because I know a lot about the world.
"I'm not a teacher. I've never taught you anything."
"Let me ask him, not teach him. Right. It does feel like Mr. Leiko is not the type of teacher, but the explorer type..."
You say you're curious or you want to know, you're greedy for knowledge.
"... Professor..."
Leaked out of my mouth.
"Professor. Yeah! Professor's fine! And that's it!"
I found something for Mr. Leiko while I was at it.
"Oh, uh, what the hell is that, a Kyouge?
"Thoroughly speaking, Explorer of Knowledge. He who conveys it to the next generation."
In my dictionary, though.
"Explorer of Knowledge,"
It doesn't look like he's coming with a pin, but he doesn't look like he's interested at all.
"Well, not immediately. Mr. Leiko has plenty of time, if you think about it."
It's still a long way from building a school.
"… Professor. Explorer of Knowledge…"
Apparently, more than half of them are inclined to accept.
Professor Leiko of the future. Ask the young people in charge of tomorrow for a good lecture.
