I Was Reincarnated Chapter 43
A Peaceful Day
"Shin-sama, they said we can harvest the toguneen!"
When I appeared in the dining room, Rau ran to me
The so-called toguneen is a food similar to what was called a potato on earth
The starchy quality is also similar
The field Rau and the others planted seeds has a faster growth than the fields of the guys in the garden
I have a feeling it's because I didn't give those guys any fertilizer
Not like it really matters
I buy food
"Will Rau and Rune do it [harvesting]?"
"Dea and Rona too!"
Well, since it is big [the field]
It would take two people some time
"Will Shin-sama do it too?"
"I will be watching"
I have no interest in playing farmer
Whether ploughing or harvesting, even just the thought of doing it doesn't arise
Too troublesome
I could just harvest all of it with magic, but they seem like they are looking forward to the harvest, and I have no intention of s.n.a.t.c.hing away their enjoyment
Me doing something like make them cry……there's no way I would, right?
Rune and Rau steadily stick to me
I thought I should push them away a bit more previously, but I seem to have already completely spoiled them
Pampering, I was often told that it was not good for the other person
It would make the other person become a useless person
Although I somewhat get that, I thought that this time it's fine since I have no plans of separating from the two
Even if they become useless guys I'll take care of them
Eve if they become useless guys like that I like them so it's fine
If we did separate, they probably already can't live a normal life
Such a person is preferable, since there's a low chance of them getting away from me
I am attached to the guys that fit my taste
If they were to try running away from me, I might just have to lock them up
Well, they are my things
In the case they were no longer my things then I would immediately cut them off though
Although I have a principle of not separating from my things, on rare occasions it happens
I don't hang on to my feelings towards guys that separate and leave my protection
It's easiest to cut off such feelings
Well, there are various conditions
That probably has nothing to do with these two
"After you're done, properly wash your hands, okay?"
"Ye~s"
If it would be faster to just take a bath, should I just toss them into the bath
Since Rau was doing fieldwork, her whole body soon became covered in mud
She told me she wanted clothes that she could get dirty, but as I'm here, something like clothes that can't be dirtied don't exist
Since I can make them clean with magic
However, since moving in something like a swishy skirt is probably difficult, I bought some clothes that are easy to move in
She wore those kinds of clothes only when she was doing field work
Speaking of, it seems laundry is work everyone does
When I saw clothes hanging up along a rope, I was a bit surprised
Being tied from Rau's toy [the jungle gym] to a castle's decoration, was just too much
There's now a designated area to dry clothes
Those guys in the garden have to handle their drying on their own though
Since I'm not going to bother with something like their laundry
As I don't need to do laundry, bath, or eat, I unintentionally forgot about them
When I tried thinking about it, my living conditions are extremely inhumane
Don't eat since meals have no flavor, also for bathing, since I can just use magic cleanup and on top of that washing my long hair is troublesome, I rarely enter the bath
That's also why I forgot about the laundry matter
Originally when I was in j.a.pan it was all taken care of by the housekeeper, and I didn't do much housework
Since it was troublesome
For that reason, I didn't even consider daily necessities
At first I even forgot to buy things like bath towels
I brought some out with magic so it wasn't an inconvenience though
"Shin-sama, look, look~ I've gathered this many"
Rau came to show me the large amount of things she held with both hands
I have no interest in potato
However, Rau's whole face was smiling, that was good and I pat her head, she smiled looking even happier
And so like that she returned to the field
(Well done)
Although you couldn't really call it mud, because of the fertilized the dirt looked damp
It seems things can even grow in infertile soil, but perhaps because this field's soil is considerably mixed with fertilizer it could grow things that were all nothing but ones that were larger than the norm
(It should be fine to not buy any potatoes for a while)
Since such a large amount has grown
I absentmindedly watched
The four seemed to be having fun
It seems these four cultivated fields in their village
Me?
I haven't even done any weeding
Too troublesome
I lived in a penthouse so I also didn't have a garden
Even if I was told to do it at school, I didn't ever do it
After calling for a contractor [to do the work], the teacher got quite angry
Since I didn't want to do it it couldn't be helped
"Master, the harvest is quite large"
Dea is also unexpectedly excited
When in the village, just how frugally did he live?
"Shin-sama, is it your first time seeing a harvest?"
Rune asked me who, rather than saying I had a weak reaction, had almost no reaction
"That's right"
"Then, you don't know how much is normally harvested?"
"No, I know"
The information I have even had that
Like the proportion of food that should be harvested from a field of this size
"…….you aren't surprised?"
"Since I blended that much fertilizer in, after all"
This result is to be expected
Not like this is beyond expectations
"……..When?"
"When I made the field"
"…………"
Rune was at a loss for words
It seems he thought that the soil they were digging up was just ordinary
"……Shin-sama, didn't you hate doing things like this?"
Up to now I haven't helped at all, I've only sat in a chair and watched
"Aah[yea], it's troublesome"
I didn't even have any thoughts of wanting to, even in my previous existence I wouldn't do it
"That field is a field I made for Rune and Rau. It's good if you like to use it"
Having Dea and Rona help with it is fine, planting more seeds is also fine
Since the field's soil will become less fertile you have to periodically mix in more fertilizer though
It's also fine to give them fertilizer and have them mix it in themselves though
In that case they won't have the [necessary] tools and probably won't be able to fully mix it into the soil though
"…….Shin-sama, what do you like?"
"What I like?"
I never thought I would be asked that
"I like to do things like watch my things do things" [TN: sorry for all the things]
Aside from that, there's nothing
I can't really say I like sleep, I only sleep because I'm sleepy after all
"Is there no other thing you like? Like something you want……"
"There's nothing"
It was the same during my previous existence
Even when I went along with someone to the movies I would sleep, the amus.e.m.e.nt park or aquarium, the art museum and such too, I didn't have even a bit of interest
If my thing wasn't there, then I wouldn't even bother going
I myself, have no place I want to go and nothing I want to do
Honest work like weeding, even since before was troublesome and I disliked it, though
In this world, it seems there are no so-called contractors
Guys that have a garden-like place where they live are only a small portion of the wealthy humans, and it has to be personally weeded
Though humans have slaves they can leave it to
If I think about it, there's also nothing that I want
Of my things as well, it's not like there was someone that I had to have no matter what, I'd have been fine even if they weren't there
Once I obtain them it's only that I don't feel like letting them go, if they aren't there from the beginning I have no intention of unreasonably having them
"Did you also feel like that in your previous existence?"
"That's right"
Since coming to this world, I don't feel like my character's changed, it's not like I have a separate personality
If anything the awareness of that I can use magic was the only thing that changed
There's information I got as a demon G.o.d, but even if I was different person [not a demon G.o.d] there would be no difference, if Rune and the others weren't there I probably just wouldn't have met any humans face to face either
Nothing's changed with me from my previous existence
I'm only interested in guys that fit my taste, I have no interest in other people
I'm an existence that only gives
I completely reject things I dislike
Like that, although I wasn't perpetually young and undying before, my way of thinking hasn't changed
For that reason, even now, I have awareness as 'Hinoue Shinya'
I also have my previous existence's memories
"Do you dislike such a me? However, there's no way I'll let you go now after such a long time though"
There's no way I'd let go of Rune and the others
After all, this is me, I haven't changed since before
As for what the G.o.d said, I seem to have never fulfilled my full lifespan, I don't have those memories, but I think that wouldn't it probably be because my personality didn't change
Before my eyes, the four shook their heads
That they 'won't run away'
Even if they got away, I think they probably wouldn't be able to live peacefully after all
Since they have my divine protection, they can live out their entire lifespan
It's fine not to fear the threat of demons or humans
There's also no hunger
They can enter the bath everyday too
The same as humans
Once they experience such convenience and comfort, being deprived of that would cause panic
Like a power outage and losing electricity or losing your running water……
With no emergency supply, if that continued for many days you could only become stressed out
In modern society, it's natural
Even though in the past there was no electricity or running water
Rune and the other's [current] mental state, is probably a similar feeling to that
"For me, it's enough if you guys seem like you're having fun……though I'll occasionally go for a stroll by myself"
A stroll by myself
However this world doesn't have any places to see
No matter which town you go to they all look the same
(Next time, should I try going to a village instead of a town)
The only village I've been to is Rune and Rau's
Even if I were a beastman, or an elf or spirit, they would probably still be afraid and cautious of me
Even if I go to a town, it really only feels like I do it for shopping and it's not interesting
"[Rau] wants to go too"
"……If I feel like it, I'll take you"
If Rau and the others are there, will they not be frightened?
However, it wouldn't be the same as dealing with those guys [humans]
Even if it's their misperception, it's irritating [the humans frightening them]
With quite and amount of dug up potatoes, the field has become greatly emptied
I teleported the harvested things to the food storehouse and mixed fertilizer into the emptied areas
This time everyone saw, they were dumbfounded
Since I [usually] do nothing
"Come forth fertilizer, be mixed"
I just said that
"Did you do it like this before?"
"Aah[yea]"
Though the scope of it is smaller since there are still other crops
"Is there anything that Shin-sama can't do?"
"Perpetually young and undying things"
It seems I can revive guys that are killed and died since there is the cheat-like magic
However if it [death] is due to lifespan, I can't revive them
That G.o.d said to do 'within reason'
I can't manipulate someone's lifespan
Isn't the only one who could do such G.o.d?
If even G.o.d can't, then probably no one can
"Later, I guess I'll change my race"
I can change my appearance, but I can only be the demon G.o.d
I can't remove Rune's ears or tail
It seems only I can change appearances
Though I have no intention of attaching beast ears
After all, I was originally a guy who didn't have them
"Is that why before you looked like a human?"
"It seems it's only possible for me to do though"
Rune saw me when I had blonde hair and blue eyes
However, I already have no desire to do it again
Since more people stared compared to when I had black hair
Just normally wearing my veil like usual is best
"……I don't like that. It felt like it wasn't Shin-sama……"
"Don't worry, I have no desire to do something like that again"
I only told Rune that much, I didn't say it was because the surroundings were annoying
My position as demon G.o.d gathers enough attention on it's own, I don't need to get more
