The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

God of Watersheds and Fisheries (Part I)

"- So, okay?

"Yes, in the future, I won't say"

"That's fine. There's gonna be some convenience to life, and hey... is that it? Speaking of which, why were we talking about this?

"Oh... I'm sure Master Saleripta wanted to see me. How could she?"

"Ah! I was. So, because you were funny? Because I ask, it's not, rather, why did we talk about boredom!

"Yes."

"Yes, they do. So, there's no reason I called you, because you cared. Doesn't mean it's funny."

I'm beginning to understand. This god is not funny against me, he gets bored in a row, but he doesn't mean anything by it. It just feels like what I thought was coming out of my mouth.

"So what's the place?

"I don't know what to say... Guys contacted me about a new person coming into this world, and I thought to myself when I came to the village where you are now and saw a chill. Does this girl look a little like me?

"Is it me and Master Saleripta?

"Sale's fine. Nobody's listening anyway."

"... So, Sale, what's the resemblance to me?

"Right.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Tame it tight. That's a tough type...... similarity...... where is it? What I found out in this short time is what you have in common with me...

"Tend to pull?

"That's what I'm talking about, isn't it? Just the facts."

"A lot of words in my insensitivity?

"Don't deny it... I don't know if it's accurate"

"... root darkness?

"I'll say quite a few things even though you're new to each other... well, you're not even hazy about it all. But the correct answer is a more fundamental part."

The fundamental part?

"There seems to be a part of humans that says," It's about me, but I don't even understand myself, "and I wonder if it's hard to understand? Even when we're having a conversation like this, the part that appears on the surface and the part that doesn't, is that the judgment criterion? The root of your personality? Mm-hmm. It's hard to explain in words. I've never talked to anyone so much in the first place..."

I don't understand myself. I think I'm unconscious or something like that...

"Anyway, man or God, I think and feel a lot. You just have to think of it as the fundamental part."

"Then I understood somehow. You think that fundamental part of this is that we're alike?

"Right. It's just“ similar ”... and by the way, I guess the way I think about it in a nutshell would be" weak eating. ”You have it too, don't you? That's the place."

"Even if they say there will be. Is that right?

"Don't you see? Well, let me tell you something."

From sitting deep in an invisible chair, he changes his posture to depression and is kept talking like a matter of decision. The catch ball for the conversation doesn't work.

"Oh, maybe I'm talking too much?

"Have you read my mind about that...... But I'm just a little confused about the momentum."

"Good. As I said, I rarely talk to people, or to the same god."

You talk a lot, but you don't know how distant it is, or you're gonna say what you want to say? Anyway, you're not a lousy mouth. You feel like a communist. Not uncommon.

"It's helpful to have an understanding. Back to the story, then, you would have kept an evolutionary Pearl Slime secret from the kid who helped you research Slime today, wouldn't you? I wonder why that is?

He's going to be mistaken for a girl if he doesn't know it, with his head over his assembled hands and his neck.

Answer honestly, feeling subtly difficult to do.

"I didn't know the exact value, because it was going to be expensive anyway. Niki, you're just a kid, and if you don't know anything, you don't have to worry about leaking information, and I thought you'd be safe."

"Yeah. I think you're right about that prediction. The value of pearls in this world is higher than you think. Especially in the Refaul Kingdom where you are, it's a gem you can't pick yet, so if you put it up for sale, you'll get an extra high...

Naturally, there will also be people who explore the sources and the routes of obtaining them, and those who plan to make them their own will continue to do so. Of course, not only are they legal and tranquil means, but also people who don't hate illegal and outrageous means...

You have trustworthy merchants you know, and you have the back shield of a strong Duke's house. Even if you get attacked, most opponents will be able to deal with it on their own. But none of that is missing from a boy named Niki. A little villager like a thief who moves on his own might be able to protect him, but if the Dark Alliance or nobility targets him, there's not a single one. "

Sale talks about the possibilities of cruelty, naturally, without ever stopping smiling.

"You know exactly what I mean."

"This much... isn't it normal for anyone to be on guard when they get something that involves a lot of money? I've been talking about this in my last life, and they're going to get a lot of attention from the bank for the high prize winners."

"Pfft, haha!

Suddenly he raised his voice and laughed. Did I say something weird?

"Sorry, are you unconscious? Or are you noticing and pretending not to know?

"? I'd like you to explain it a little more clearly."

"Oh, yeah. Right... First of all, you said" obvious, "but it's surprisingly hard to take that for granted, isn't it? In human society, for example, as a courtesy, it's normal to say hello when you meet someone. It's normal to respect older people, isn't it? But there are quite a few people who get mad at me for not being able to take that for granted, right?

"... Indeed. I remember being told a lot in the company, and I remember telling my juniors."

"That's right. It's important, but people tend to take the obvious for a surprise. Because there were so many people who would fail to talk about the lottery earlier, so the banks started paying attention, right? Well, people who fail to get caution will fail."

Sure... but still not subtly.

Originally, I have a creed for weak eating. Didn't we talk about that?

"I'm not talking about it. The point is, we're talking about vigilance (...). You have warned people who come naturally to take it away from the possibility of obtaining large sums of money. Alert is very important in a world of weak and strong eating. Unvigilant creatures will not survive in harsh nature. They'll kill you soon enough.

And you're hiring two former assassins at your store, right? You noticed that before you hired him, didn't you? I felt something uncomfortable because I had the weapon hidden... I don't care why, but hiding it and not letting it be noticed (...) is also an essential skill for assassins. It seems easy for the average person to notice. It's less than third-rate. Are the two people you're hiring that incompetent? You're not, are you? Which means that you've always been unconsciously alert to others. "

……

"Weak predators, it's a wild world. The beast has nothing to do with us, what a human may think, but from my point of view, humans are the same as beasts. We live in the same world, and we just do it a little differently.

For example… "

The last whine sounded slightly louder, the next moment.

"You make all kinds of things, you know all kinds of things, right? I wonder why that is?

Questions that also seem abrupt and irrelevant.

But the moment I heard it, I felt my heart bounce.

"Because I've been through a lot of work... and if I ever wondered about it, I'd have looked into it, and there was a handy thing over there called the Internet."

"That means you've changed your job."

"I think I have a few words, but I'm not wrong"

"Then each time, you quit your workplace until then, right?

"Yes, but"

What is it? You're just being asked the obvious thing, anxiety? Or a hurry? An unspoken emotion springs up.

"You've quit a lot of work. I'm not sure why, so I'll ask you this. Have you left the office in full circle in all the workplaces?

"It's"

Mysterious emotions swell.

"That's not true, is it? I hear humans need a lot of reasons to quit their jobs."

Sure, I wasn't able to leave all the workplaces in a full circle.

"There's been a lot going on."

Like having bad relationships with coworkers and bosses at one time and getting kicked out.

At one point, he was charged with something he didn't remember.

At one point, he cursed me unilaterally and I don't even know why.

At one point, at the convenience of the employer.

At one point, the company went bankrupt.

At one point...

Every time I listen to his voice, the sights of the past come to mind and disappear.

That's like being swallowed up by turbulence, disgusting.

"Ugh...!

"I'm sorry. I seem to have reminded you of a lot of bad things."

If I was in a bad mood, sometime Master Saleripta was right around the corner and I was hugged from the front. And a voice whispers in my ear like whispering a child away.

"But that's part of you. You are a person on the weak side of society, even if you are strong in the physical sense. And what you've been through is definitely engraved into your soul.

How many years have you been in this world? Oh, it's my fourth year in the woods in three years. It's only four years (...). It's not something I can forget because I've lived comfortably for only four years. "

Wonder and now whenever I hear voices, I feel calm.

"How long do you think it's gonna take to treat a human once he's sick of his heart? Of course it depends on the state and people, but some people are going out for the rest of their lives. Three years off would be enough, sweetie, what a lack of consideration for the way you think. Even if that's against itself (...).... you should take care of yourself more.

You've lived happily in this world for four years, and I'm pretty sure you were going to forget the problems of your previous life, right? I don't even know what makes me want to think that. I know you actually felt more comfortable with your life and mind than before...... but it's just in a state of well-being. If I put a little on it like this (...) I can easily make a decision.

In the first place, it seems like I've been remembering my past life for a long time. "

I remember my last life, that's all I was offended about? Something's wrong... but it's comforting...

"... the truth is, at the bottom of my heart, you must know. Remember that? You were the first to wish for Guys, weren't you?“ I want to live away from people ”.“ I want to live freely in nature ”.“ Yourself. "

"It's..."

... it sure is. Definitely.

"That's the answer. You should have stayed away from humans. [M] That way you would have been free... and you would have been sent back to human society before your heart could have healed because the Gaines would have sent you into a halfway environment."

"! Wait!

"... Oh, I'm not going to say anything bad about those Duke people. They baked care of a stranger, a child with no edge or itch. As humans, I end up with a word of goodness. I know that.

But you ended up staying away from them (...) "

"Huh!!

That resurgence of discomfort. Stronger, heavier, I want to argue but I have no words. It's not a conversation. Nonetheless, the story keeps going.

"Besides, you don't make people, do you? Although we get along with the people we meet in the first place we go, the only people we always adventure with are the submissive demons. With your strength, you should find as many people as you want to keep company without worrying about appearance. Whatever. You should be able to talk to a familiar adventurer already. Whether you set up a shop and build a city based in, come and go on the grounds of training.

... I'll tell you because you'll be unconscious. "

“You want someone else from your heart, but you're afraid to be close to someone else.”
