Reincarnation Monarch

Lesson 264: On the ground.

"It was... when I was still young and bloody"

Upak began to speak quietly, staring at the distance in nostalgia.

"I have not yet been to the earth world, and I cannot stop seeing the outside world. One day, I was unable to stay, and I finally entered a cave that leads to the earth. And even climbed up a steep road."

"Hmm. The Naga would have taken advantage of their physical properties to get out of the ground without much difficulty, but in a small Polochle body they would have drained quite a bit of strength just by rising and descending large rocks and such."

"As Elle said, in my little body, I felt like a wall where the great rock that appeared in front of me stood in the way of my going. But you must still have been young. There was no such giant rock that would ruin my mind. And after a long and long time, we finally managed to get out on the ground."

"Well, it's nice to be able to climb alone."

"As much as I'm ashamed... I'm so young"

Upak lightly scratched his cheek with his index finger and lit up.

"How was your first ground? Are you blind?"

"Yes, but my mind's eyes are open. I still remember feeling the wind blowing through my cubs and the sun shining brightly all over my body and trembling with emotion."

Then Gaius, who had until then quietly listened to Upak's old story, asked with a strange look on his face.

"Um... what's it like to be the eye of your heart? Is there a video on your consciousness?

"Yeah, it floats in disgust. My eyes have never been opened, so I don't know if that's the same thing you two are looking at, but the landscape does come to mind."

"... is it like a kind of psychic power?

"What is that Chonolyok?

"Uh-huh. It's an unexplained ability in science that's developed in the other world. Write it over your abilities. Psychic. Well, if you think about it, there's so much magic in this world that it's not surprising where you had superpowers."

"Hmm. There's no magic in that world, is there?

"Oh, I don't. Science is developing instead. A writer from the other side of the world said that fully developed science can't be distinguished from magic, but maybe if El glanced at the other side of the world, he'd think of something else. I guess science didn't develop in this world because there's still magic. On the contrary, magic did not develop in that world, perhaps because science developed first. Well, I don't know...... oh, sorry. You were in the middle of talking. Please continue."

Encouraged by Gaius, Upak continued the conversation.

"I was resting my tired body in a lake just outside the earth. Then a human child appeared there. It was my first time seeing a human being, so I approached the child with intrigue and spoke with one word."

"Suddenly. The child would have been surprised. Maybe you cried out?

"No, it made us very happy instead of crying, and we quickly became friends"

"Well, were you a knowledgeable child about the Polochle tribe?

Upak denied Elle's prediction by shaking his head sideways.

"No, he was blind."
