I Was Reincarnated Chapter 26
My Possession is Unbiasedly Cute
(Rune is cute)
Since I embraced Dea a few days ago he's been making jealous eyes
I felt like taking Dea
I liked him even better than before, so I thought it would be fine to make him mine
However, as I thought compared to Rune it's different (his feelings)
Different from Rau as well
The type of feelings for Dea are probably different than those for Rune
I'm aware that he's my slave and he won't say anything selfish to me
He's earnestly obedient and for that reason I like him, so if he said anything selfish that feeling would disappear
The only ones I allow to speak selfishly are Rune and Rau
There is no allowance for other guys
I've been having more conversations with Dea since I bought those 21 people
Watching over those guys' lives he reports if there's anything insufficient, as well as telling me in case a problem arises
As expected, it seems there are disagreements due to being different races
There ages as well are spread out
Although I told them to live in twos or threes, it seems there are guys living alone
A guy who was left alone due to his race, since no ones never lived with other races before
That bear beastman is alone as well
For beastmen, the rest of them are females
You can't help but say it can't be helped
Inevitably the amount of time I spent with Dea increased, and I unconsciously reached my hand out
Trying it out was like flirting/secretly sneaking food/exploitation (not sure which meaning?)
Rune is something different from a lover, so he can hardly complain
Rune was jealous
It was only that one time, after that Dea seemed to avoid me though
When I'm talking with Dea, although he doesn't forcibly cut in between us, his eyes continue to follow us jealously
He told me 'don't go to Dea's side,' so today―no, the day's already become yesterday―starting now
(Rune's quite a crybaby)
That too is one of the reasons I like Rune
While he was pa.s.sed out, I gently caressed Rune's cheek
From afternoon till morning, he endured quite a bit
However, I honestly can't feel fatigue
Though it's only because I'm a demon G.o.d
(A jealous Rune is particularly cute, I should try making him jealous again)
"Shin-sama….I like you"
Getting him to say such a thing for example, or desperately clinging to me for example
It would be too cute
Dea was erotic though
That most elves become s.e.x slave is not just because their appearance is good
It's probably also because they are sensitive
Although elves probably don't become like that for that purpose, their sharp intuition backfired
Dea also said it was his first time being held by a man, but he wasn't so fl.u.s.tered that it seemed like his first time
Although many elves become addicted to aphrodisiac according to my knowledge, however it doesn't seem to be particularly necessary to me
(However, Rune and the others have a limited lifespan)
Moreover, I won't age
Even though I won't change, the ones around me will grow older and die
If I made someone my lover, I couldn't bear to part with them
I hug Rune close and close my eyes
More than me dying, the guy I'm interested in dying is more unpleasant
(If I meet with that G.o.d, shall I beat him up first thing……)
While being reminded of his suspicious smiling face, I tried to sleep
"Why is it, I'm here"
Even though I should be holding Rune and sleeping, without realizing it I was standing in a place I didn't know
As for any recollection……there is
"You, what are you doing? Not changing your ways, isn't it no good"
It's him
Without delay I punch out
"Tcho-…!? Sto-p! Punching is banned-!!"
As I thought that guy is an expert at dodging
"Is the new world that disagreeable~?"
His slow irritating way of speaking hasn't changed
"No, I'm pleased with being a demon G.o.d, since I don't need to work and can sleep"
Besides I can do whatever I want
"Then, why did you try to punch me~?"
"Tell me how to make others perpetually young and undying"
"…..there was no need to punch me!? Or rather, there was completely no need to punch me!?"
"Bothersome"
"….You're the same as ever, saying such a thing to me, what are you on about~?"
"No clue"
Such a thing, I have no interest
Even if you make a shocked face I won't think anything of it
"….making others perpetually young and undying is impossible~ the only one perpetually young and undying is you~"
It seems it can't be done
Useless guy
"However, making someone perpetually young can be done~ the reason I called you, is because of this, you know~"
"Ah?"
I don't get what he means
"You, can made one person perpetually young right~ but I can't let you change the way of things"
"Hah? Perpetually young? ……who?"
What has this guy been saying just now?
"The knowledge was properly been conveyed, right~? Have you not checked it all~?"
"I've only partially checked it"
Such a large amount of information, there's no way I've checked it all
I've mostly been sleeping
I tried looking up the method of giving perpetual youth
There was only one requirement
(……..Eh?)
I can't comprehend the method
(My s.e.m.e.n, has to be inside someone who desires perpetual youth for at least 12 hours, this method for perpetual youth is…..)
Just why?
Then, the one I made perpetually young is Rune?
After holding Dea I used cleanup so the time should be less than 12 hours
"It's not undying?"
If they have perpetual youth, aren't they undying?
"Immortality is impossible after all~ that something only G.o.ds can have, a special feature~mon"
Saying 'a special feature~mon,' how disgusting
Men shouldn't say ~mon
"Then they still have a limited lifespan? Is there no way to extend their lifespan?"
Rather than perpetual youth, that is more important
"They won't have a lifespan~ they are perpetually young ~mon, only if someone kills them will they die~"
That means, that since he has my divine protection as long as I don't kill him Rune won't die?
Doesn't that mean he's perpetually young and undying
"However, doing this method changes the way of things~ So doing it anymore more than that is no good you know? It distorts life, even I don't know what will happen~"
……for now let's try to get the annoying things out of the way
"Was there any reason for making me a demon G.o.d?"
That is also something I wanted to ask
Although it won't change anything
"Although a demon G.o.d is a G.o.d said to cause catastrophe, it's a necessary existence for the world's balance~ since in that world humans have become too strong~"
"So I should kill humans?"
"…..that's wrong~"
It seems it's different
Misleading guy
"In other words, you need to make an existence become stronger than humans~ Demons can't deal with humans~ since humans have knights and magicians, you should give a hand to the demons~"
"Just doing that much is fine?"
In that case there's no change how I've been up to now
Though I will have less free time
"You, as long as you only change the way of things that much is fine~ if you distort life, I'm the one who has to cleanup"
"Hmm"
"Wait a sec~ don't you seem too interested in that~? I can give you my position~"
"Hurry and return"
I have no interest in listening to that guy any more than this
I only listen to guys I'm interested in
"Seriously~ Well, it's fine though~ Keep in mind what I just said k~"
The moment that guy said so my view warped with a *gunyari*
"…..I've returned"
When I realized it, I was back in my room
Rune was in my arms
Outside was quite sunny
It seems I was properly sleeping
(I made him perpetually young, I have to tell Rune)
When I touch his ears, it seemed ticklish and they moved with a *pikupiku* (flicked back and forth)
"……..Nn"
As if to escape my hand he nestled in closer
(Will Rune be upset that he's become perpetually young?)
Since he's kind, he'll probably become sad when someone dies
(I don't want to make Rune cry)
I don't want to see his tear stained face
…..though he cried yesterday
"…..Shin-sama?"
I glance towards him at his blurry voice
Rune looks up at me with his just awakened eyes
His face gradually clouded with uneasiness
"What's wrong?"
After I ask him I remember
I am not wearing any clothes now
Gloves as well
So my feelings were pa.s.sed to him
"Change to pajamas"
Except when doing it, it's an inconvenient ability (conveying emotions)
"Did something happen?"
He's once again making an anxious face
Am I making a strange face or something?
(It's nothing….. I can't say that, although I planned to look after you your entire life until the end, as for the end of your lifespan, I feel guilt over making Rune never able to meet your death?)
While patting Rune's head I absentmindedly think and I worried over how to reply
A hand reached for my forehead
Even though since I'm a demon G.o.d I don't get sick
"…..embracing me, have you lost interest?"
I heard a voice that sounded like it would disappear and I involuntarily widened my eyes
Although I was busy thinking earlier, Rune is quite negative, huh
The teary eyes looking up at me guilefully……it's not, huh. In Rune's case
"Rune, my bad"
Rune's face distorted in sadness and he hung his head
He's probably misunderstanding again (TN: 100% your fault here)
"I made Rune perpetually young"
"…..Eh?"
Tears spill out of Rune's eyes that look up at me
As expected he seems to have misunderstood
Well, ordinarily, one wouldn't even think to guess it would be perpetual youth though
"Since you have my divine protection, Rune's become perpetually young and undying and it can't be undone, as long as I don't kill you Rune won't die"
"……Heh?"
It seems he can't understand
His blank looking face is cute
"However, I can't make any other guys perpetually young, G.o.d told me not to, since something unpleasant would happen"
"Eh? Eh? ……perpetually young!?"
Rune woke up into a panic
Suddenly being told he was perpetually young, such a reaction is normal
Even though I only thought something like 'Hmmm'
"Rune will always be together with me"
When I say it like that, he finally seems to calm down
"……I, won't leave Shin-sama and die?"
"Aah" (yea)
Since there's no way I'd kill Rune
At that instant his face looked delighted, but it once again became clouded
"As expected, won't it be painful to watch everyone die?"
Rune's village, up to the time the demons appeared, was at peace
Since Rune said he had no experience fighting, nothing should happen for at least a few years
He also shouldn't have seen anything like dead bodies
"I'm accustomed to it, death"
However the words that came from Rune's mouth wasn't that
"Since I'm a beastman, I've seen a lot of my comrades die in battle to demons, my father as well, died in battle with demons. Although I'm accustomed to death, I'm not accustomed to corpses from slaughter"
So that's why he was scared by the demon king's head being chopped off
That sort of splatter gore is too much huh
Fighting with demons, there would be few remains leftover
Since they would be eaten
"Although I am of course sad that everyone will die…….you won't come to find me unpleasant and throw me away?"
What are you worrying about?
You idiot
Even though I said from the beginning that I have no intention of releasing you
"I won't"
"Really?"
"Aah" (yea)
I won't allow you to leave me
"Rune will always be mine"
Rune smiled looking happy, does he get it?
Although Rune is mine, I am not his
I am interested and think he's cute
When he's a crybaby, when he's timid, I like it
However, that's it
There is no feeling of love
With just that I won't come to like someone
……Though, from now on, I wonder if such a feeling could sprout?
TN: this chapter really brought me down, then back up, then down again, but the last line gave me hope……
So the thing with Dea, I don't know, hug, hold, and embrace are all pretty much the same word, but there's no way I could have mistranslated an entire s.e.x scene, I went back over the Dea chapter but he doesn't do anything more than pat his head and hold him normally, I think if there was one it was probably revised out of the last chapter? Since there's only that one line in the previous chapter then the mention in this chapter
