The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 288: Perseus and Idaten
Salua Legston and Sieg were friends. They had many opportunities to meet each other because their parents had moved to Tarosheim, the capital of the Vidal Empire, and they said they were children of important persons.
Sarua is the nephew of Cesare, the Imperial Emperor and Minister, and his younger brother Kurt. Sieg, on the other hand, is the son-in-law of the archetypal vampire Zorcodrio.
Above all, age is close. With this alone, children can be friends.
"I think I should confide as soon as possible."
"... Is it impossible to live in peace while hiding it?"
"I said many times, but I think it is impossible."
But Sieg and Salua were strongly linked by a common secret. It's not a funny thing to do something mischief or to build a secret base together.
"But if you don't use your strength and pretend you're going to go well? We have different names and different faces ..."
"Do you think you can do that? Kanako and Legion don't seem to know us, but those who came after might know."
Yes, they were reincarnated from Origin.
As a result of a sudden encounter with Vandaloo, he repeatedly remembered and forgotten his memory and personality, which should have returned between the ages of five and six, but only recently has stabilized.
When memory and personality were unstable, the next time I remember, wouldn't he be killed by Vandaloo, or would he be undead?
Salua was afraid, but after learning that Sieg was also a reincarnate, she was somewhat relieved.
And they knew they were relatives of important figures, and that if they were reincarnated in Vandaloo, they would not be executed so easily.
Thanks to this, Salua's often lost appetite and lack of sleep were resolved at once. His parents interpreted it as "being friends with a younger Sieg would have made him mentally stable."
For that reason, the former nobleman Countess Legston has made it easier for his younger friends, Sieg and his son, to play. An aristocratic child plays closely with a non-noble family child.
This alone is impossible for aristocrats who only consider livestock to keep livestock except for the royal nobles.
However, thanks to this, Salua was able to talk and discuss various things with Sieg to this day.
What happened to Kay McKenzie, who had died and reincarnated around the same time? Will the Kanakos not know themselves? Rodcorte sent a message only once after his memory and personality stabilized, but why don't he say anything now?
And whether to confess their identity to Vandaloo. He often came to see Salua and Sieg. I've never played with other children once or twice.
Apparently, he often came to watch Salua, who had been sick until recently.
"If you're Van, I'm sure you'll know ...
"I'm very anxious. Did you stay at that time?-I didn't attack directly, but I did."
As a result, both of them remembered Vandaloo's remorse for every memory and personality he revived. Just because you remembered doesn't mean you forgot what happened when you didn't remember.
And the content of the message from Rhodocorte I heard after the memory returned. And it is not the blessing from Rodcorte that was in his own status that I confirmed, but the impact of [Bandaloo's blessing] is unforgettable.
Neither of them were on good terms with Kanata Kaito of [Gungnir] whose soul was broken, nor was they worshiping Rhodocorte.
However, there was no blessing of Rodcorte in status. That means they have been isolated from the other incarnates.
We are now in the Vidal Demon Empire, governed by Vandaloo, and we both knew it was difficult to get out of here and live on our own. At the same time as remembering the memory and personality of the previous life, the power has returned, so it is not impossible in practice. If you don't even dive into the more difficult dungeons, you'll be able to kill about 3 or 4 demons.
However, it is impossible to go to other countries beyond the thousands of meters of mountains.
"So, is it okay to talk honestly? Isn't it a deception even if you remain silent?"
Yuri Samejima of [Perseus], who looks like a noble monk ... Sarua Legston asks him with a high-pitched, low-pitched tone like a toddler.
As a jeek who knows him in the previous life, he has a very uncomfortable appearance and voice.
"I can't fool you, because I've already remembered it."
However, it was the same for Jida Tanaka from Jidaten. One year older than Salua, but from the side, they are both cute infants.
"Can you behave the same way as before? I'm confident of getting ragged."
"Well, it's hard to behave as if nothing had happened ..."
"I can't do it."
"... Yeah, I can't."
Just remembering the memory and personality of the previous world does not mean that you have forgotten yourself in this world. However, it is too difficult to behave like a toddler.
Both of them were trained in the military in the previous life, but the military did not give acting guidance to become infants.
If this were a normal country, they would both have chosen to act. Once or twice, even if you say something that is not appropriate for the year, a normal family does not think, "Is my child having a memory of the past ?!" At best, you will think that your child is smart or a little strange.
But this is a country governed by Vandaloo. The emperor is the emperor who is being targeted by the incarnated. In addition, he informs all the people that he and Kanako have been reincarnated from another world.
When he knew that, Zeek, who had read several works of his kind on Earth, was dizzy that he had promised that his hands were silent.
"Moreover, Van can talk to the spirits we can't see. There's also the solitude we've leaked out ... maybe that's what we're talking about, maybe it's a barrel."
Salua and Sieg looked around and sighed with gestures that are unlikely to be infants.
The two who cannot see the spirit do not know at this moment if the spirit is eavesdropping.
Salua's [Perseus] is a cheat ability that can stop the opponent watching you. Instead of stopping the movement just like paralysis or [Death Size], you can fix the state.
The opponent's time stops, and while [Perseus] is in effect, it can no longer be influenced from the outside. You can't hurt, but you can't hurt if you kill or shoot. The other party does not have any memory while stopped.
It's as if the hero Perseus cut off his neck and saw the head of Medusa used as a weapon, petrified. … Then I thought that Salua at the time when the code name was decided was not [Perseus] but [Medusa], but it seemed to have an image problem.
Anyway, [Perseus] is a powerful ability. It doesn't fire over video and photos that are recorded as expected, but live video can be targeted at people on the other side of the screen.
In his previous life, he was hunted down by mercenaries and blind swordsmen who had enhanced their hearing with magic, and ultimately died from being caught in a booby trap.
However, spirits that Salua does not recognize are truly out of scope. … Perhaps the spirit has stopped, but that doesn't mean you can always activate your abilities. [Perseus] consumes magic power while activating its abilities, and the more people stop it, the more it consumes.
And Sieg's [Idaten] is the power that allows him and his goods to super-accelerate. When he activates his ability, he intends to run normally, but he runs as fast as a sports car, and for him a normal punch exceeds the speed of sound.
In addition, the machines, plants, animals, and humans you touch are accelerating together. …… The projectiles such as ammunition do not accelerate because they move away from the body, but they are still powerful enough.
In spite of the acceleration, Sieg ... Jin Tanaka at that time did not grow or age rapidly. As expected, it is a cheat ability.
However, no matter how much acceleration the spirit is powerless. Because you ca n’t see it or touch it.
"But I guess it's better to think more of the timing? Kanakos don't seem to know us either."
"Others than Kanako may know, if they talked to Van about us, it would be the worst."
"I see ... but what if my father's progress is bothered by me?"
"I'm worried that my dad and mother will bother my dad and my mother ... but it's better than keeping them secret and at a worse time than being exposed through Van's enemy's mouth."
Although the personality and memory of the previous world have returned, their feelings for the family in this world will not be shaken. His impression of Vandaloo is based on the relationship he built in this world.
For Salua, Vandaloo is the father and uncle's boss, and for Sieg, his father ... Zodid's apprentice. And he is a strange old friend who has played many times together.
"Okay. Let's decide and go to apologize!"
"Oh, let's go!"
Then they told the truth straight and apologized.
After receiving such a briefing, Vandalou turned to her with a transparent gaze as if they were seeing through. "He confessed himself well. Let's escape his courage and forget about the resentment of the previous life."
And stroke their heads with a good child and a good child.
"Hmm ?? Is it okay? I'm attacking Van, who died in the previous life."
"I was there, but do you really forgive me?"
When they look up in a surprised manner, Vandaloo looks at him with a transparent gaze.
"I don't mind. I was resentful right after I died in the previous life, I still have a lot to say to Hiroto Amamiya, Mrs. and Mrs. Narumi, Asagi is annoyed, and I want to kill Rokudo I do. "
In an extremely natural manner, Vandaloo, who names his former friends, turns blue in Sarua and Sieg's faces and begins to shake nervously.
Realizing that he knew what he knew through the banders in Origin, he noticed that he was scared, and Vandalou continued his words in a hurry.
"Oh, so they have no remorse. No remorse, no intention to do anything. I swear to God."
They swear, but for some reason they look more uneasy. Behind the troubled Vandaloo, Gufadogan appeared and whispered his advice.
"... I swear to my mother."
Upon following her advice, they relieved their strength from their shoulders and returned to their blue complexion. Apparently, Vandalu is recognized as a strong mazacon for children. Different from God, I can trust that I will never break what I swear to my mother.
"Because my mother is an incarnation of Vida, I will definitely keep my oath to God ..."
"Rodocorte?"
"I just say it's a god and not a person I respect and respect. It's the same as Arda. If you pray to it, I'll build a magnificent temple for the poor."
"That's right. Well, I don't mean to respect it either."
Neither Zeke nor Salua intended to honor Rhodocorte. Some say it was abandoned, but in retrospect it seems that the way Lodcorte seemed to be evil.
The three Zeeks, including [Uruz] Kay McKenzie, who are not here, are reincarnators who refused to fight Vandaloo. It also knows Rhodocorte.
As you might know, Salua and Sieg are reincarnated as children of parents who have a relationship with Vandaloo.
Sieg still does not know that his real father was Maskhzar, a former emperor of the Amid Empire, but that the original vampire Zorcodrio was the father-in-law, so it was unavoidable to encounter Vandaloo from birth. thinking.
It is obvious that Rodcorte was expecting.
In fact, as Vandalu became a mentor, and the soul of the target could be moved to the Vida reincarnation system, the result was even more reversed than expected by Rodcorte.
Of course, both of them have no complaints with their parents. Salua has one of his uncles undead, and Sieg is a macho whose father is extraordinary, but never thought she wanted to be born to other parents.
"And above all, I don't want to be hostile to Cesare and Kurt's nephew or teacher's son. I know you too well."
Above all, their family was a great reason to be accepted by Vandaluo.
Undead and a fan of Vandalu, Cesare would be deeply saddened if he killed Salua, but he wouldn't betray his master ... although something might be broken mentally. But Kurt will be greatly upset and frustrated.
Zorcodrió will not forgive him if Vandalou kills his son, even if he realizes that Sieg is a reincarnate. It will evolve into a life-and-death battle.
Vandaloo wants to avoid it at all costs. So, they helped me confess that I was a reincarnation early on.
"If you had chosen to be hostile to me, you had to reconcile to look peaceful no matter what the means.
"Yeah, yeah. I didn't want to be Van's enemy either."
"Bo, me too!"
Salua and Sieg waved their heads up and down. From the words of Vandaloo, he knew that in the unlikely event that he would use all means except violence to force reconciliation with himself.
Two people were able to avoid a peaceful "looking" reconciliation, in which brainwashing was performed with drugs made with [poisonous secretion] and [mental erosion] skills, and even brain remodeling using [the shadow of the devil] Fortunately for you.
"I don't know if I'm not in Tarosheim or just remembering, but I think Kei is the same as us. So ..."
"If she says she's not going to be against me, I'll guarantee herself. The family ... well, it's up to them."
Vandalou replied to Sieg, who also talked about his other companion who was not here. Vandalu doesn't know much about Kay. I don't even remember who he was on earth. No resentment, as he was only interested in being reincarnates that might be enemies.
She should have been born in a house that has a connection with Vandaloo, just like the Siegs. However, it may be difficult to find out because there are cases where information is manipulated so that you do not know who the real parent is, like Sieg.
The three dukes that Vanderlu was involved in in the Orbaum Kingdom, Hartner, Sauron, and Al Krem. Even within these three, there are two to three marquis, five or more counts, more than a dozen, and many barons below the governing duke.
The Amid empire has so many that it doesn't count.
And if you include not only Masako but also ordinary children and even hidden children, countless children are born.
It is impossible at this stage to find Kay from Vandaloo. …… In the first place, even if you look up, if you don't have the memory and power of your previous life returned to the reincarnated Kay, you can't distinguish it from a normal infant.
And as for Kay's mortal family, it's only up to that family to say Vandalu.
"Kay keeps collecting information ... then let's confide to our family that we are reincarnates."
"Well, I have to tell my father, too?"
Speaking to Salua, who would like to stay silent if possible, Vandalu replied, saying:
"It's no use, but it's within that. Both of you don't seem to realize yet, but the return of your previous life means that your skills and abilities have returned.
A level of skill that is impossible for a child's physical ability. It's hard to hide through. ''
Even if children play with each other, their physical abilities are abnormally high, so they must always adjust. If you want to get a little serious in a fight. Kill your opponent.
The skill level is also high, so if you show your children the magic knife handling, bow arms and magical skills, you will be attracting attention as a genius and a prodigy.
"Speaking of that ... I was crazy thinking about what to do with Van and I didn't notice."
"Status! ... Oh, it's true. I'll win my father now even in arm-wrestling."
However, Sieg and Salua did not seem aware yet. It seems that it was not noticeable recently because there was no opportunity to play with other ordinary children recently because I was thinking while talking about what to do with Vandalu.
However, they both seemed to find it difficult to keep them hidden and invisible.
"I see. But is that OK?"
"I'll explain with you to be okay. Whatever you remember or not, your previous lives are all strangers."
Vandalu is not familiar with the reincarnation system of Rhodocorte, but at the time he was able to send incarnates, he believed that there was no clear connection between previous and present life.
Parents and siblings were close to each other, including family and relatives, even in the past. I don't think so. With such a connection, he speculated that it would not be possible to send a completely foreign reincarnate from another world and reincarnate as a specific person ... a child in a home that had a connection to him.
And that guess was correct. Rhodocorte's reincarnation system has no relevance between previous and present life.
The mother's previous life was a dashing carpenter boss, and his father's previous life was a jungle hunter, Jaguar. And my son was a pig that was shipped at a pig farm. That would be such a thing.
"You may think that your two parents have been replaced with souls that should have been born as their own sons in order to reincarnate you both. Is also meaningless.
There would of course be a soul that was supposed to be born, but there is no difference from you before you remember the memories and personalities of the previous life. ''
When Rodcorte, the god of reincarnation, can arbitrarily control reincarnation, it is useless to think about "souls that were supposed to be born as sons". ...... The "soul that was supposed to be born as a son" is another person in the previous life, and he must have forgotten all his memories.
For Sarua and Sieg's parents, it's easiest to think simply that "my son remembered his past life and personality."
"And if you're forced to take responsibility, it's not me, but me. It's natural to explain."
The reason that Yuri Samejima of [Perseus] was reborn as Salua Legston and Jin Tanaka of [Idaten] was reborn as Sieg is because they refused to fight Vandaloo.
So they were reincarnated by a child of a parent who had a connection with Vandaloo. Then, Vandaloo thought that he was responsible.
"That's not true! It's Rodcorte who reincarnated us."
"Salua, I think so, it's only natural that a bad god is bad, and he doesn't care for his parents."
What is needed is not a really bad being, but one who will explain the situation to the parents of Salua and will be subject to dissatisfaction. Vandalu was so simple.
"I don't think it's going to be that serious. There are precedents like me, Kanako and Legion."
Later, Vandalu explained to Sarua and Sieg's parents that they were reincarnates, but as expected he did not get serious.
Salua's parents were amazed that their boss, the head of the country they served, came to explain directly, and was surprised that their son was a reincarnate but did not reject him.
As described by Vandalu, Salua remembered his past life and personality, but did not forget about it until yesterday.
In addition, Salua's parents, the Legstons, live a turbulent life. They thought that a son with such a personality was born, and that they reasoned that they should respond.
Sieg's parents were easier. After all, his father is the original vampire Zorcodrio. Blood is not connected from the beginning.
"This child longs for me, even a tribe, with her father. That's more than enough for me. But if this child is worried, I want her to be the same reincarnate."
His mother, Rachel, immediately accepted Sieg. She is a woman who has lived in a turbulent life, as her memories have been erased by the Amid Empire's intelligence agencies, and her false memories have been implanted.
"But your Majesty, if this child becomes adolescent and rebellious in the future, I will think a lot, so thank you."
"Thank you also for our family."
"Yes. Thank you for the long term."
Thus, the families had a deeper connection with Vandalu, and Salua and Sieg peacefully reconciled with Vandalu.

○ Demon commentary: Great Seitan Moss Perchigliano
A giant moth monster with slightly poisonous but beautifully patterned wings. The size is larger than a normal Wyvern, and it is supposed to be a monster that symbolizes death, sprinkling various toxic scales. At least in the legend.
However, Pain himself is a healing system at Pauvina's party, and scales are often sown with medicinal ingredients rather than toxic substances.
You can fight using giant and strong feathers with [Shielding], sharp snouts with [Spearing], and claws on your feet with [Martial Arts].
He cannot speak human words, but his intelligence is high and his character is calm.
By the way, Levezfor and the teacher can communicate with him without writing. Revezfor is a voice, and the teacher touches the antennae.
In that case, the teacher often imitates the squealing of cues, but it is not a conversation, and it seems that imitating the squeal is meaningless.

The protection of Vandalu
○ Demon commentary: By Evil Road Wyvern Luciliano
A new species of Wyvern. Maybe it's the first Wyvern in the world to reach rank 10. Well, it is a sealed dragon, so it should not be compared with a normal Wyvern, including intelligence.
In addition, although it is a Wyvern that is described as a flying dragon, it can swim at high speed underwater for some reason, it uses the magic of water attribute, and spitting is also a strangeness to breathe water.
This seems to be because he was originally a water-based dragon.
By the way, many of our human sorcerers can't use the non-attribute sorcery they learn for practice, but when asked about it, "Don't let me be with the human sorcerer. We dragons and true giants know how to manipulate attributes that are intimate with ourselves. "
In return for his valuable testimony, it goes without saying that I advised the teacher, "His mane seems to be in ruin recently. I think it's better to be more careful."
