Reincarnation Monarch

Episode One Hundred Nineteen: Hundreds and Hundreds

"No - I kind of miss it - it's not that long ago"

Gaius said as he looked around to miss the house of Upak.

"Yes, but Lord Gaius has grown much nicer, hasn't he?

Said Upak as he remembered Gaius as a boy.

"Sort of. That kind of Mr. Upak hasn't changed at all, has it?

Gaius joked and said.

Then Upak smiled with a broken face as well.

"Yes, I am already over a thousand years old, so yes, it will not change my appearance."

Then Carla, who was listening on the edge, gave her a surprised look.

"A thousand years old? That's a long way to go."

"Yes, I am the only one in this village who is over a thousand years old, even though the Polochle have a long life."

"Hmm. People used to say things that didn't seem right."

Then Gaius nodded greatly.

"That's right. But Mr. Upak's an elder, so he's calm, and I don't think he's like that when he says he's a thousand years old, but he's amazed how many Polochle people like him are like a child when he says he's a hundred years old or two."

"Hmm... so the Polokur tribe is a tribe to which the hypothesis applies that the spirit you say is dragged by the flesh?

"Exactly. Like a living witness to my hypothesis."

Then Upak asked with interest.

"Are you being asked about the relationship between spirit and body?

Gaius answered Upak's question.

"Yes, I thought mental and physical age were correlated."

Then Upak nodded greatly.

"I see. I thought about it more than I did before."

"And Mr. Upak? It was."

"Yes, I think I told you about the time I lived on earth before, when the spiritual age was so different between the people on earth and me that I thought the same thing as Lord Gaius."

"Oh, speaking of which, you said. Right, I knew it, didn't I? Human life is long and a hundred years old. By contrast, the Polochle are almost just children. After all, we should consider our bodies and our spirits proportional."

Then Carla said with a convincing look.

"I see. Apparently, your hypothesis is correct. Then... my spiritual age will also be dragged by this young body a lot..."

Then Upak gave me a strange look.

"What does that mean?

Then Gaius explained it to him.

"Mr. Upak, Carla was actually an old woman until this time."
