I Was Reincarnated Chapter 46
Rau side
Rau side
After a long time I played with a child near my age
Haju is a spirit, but he's the child I saw after a long time
In the garden there are elves that look like they're 10 but they're actually already 30 you know!
Even older than Rune
Even though I can't see them that way at all
Listening to Dea, elves grow much slower than other races
I don't really get it, but I get that beastmen and elves are different
After all, I heard that Dea's 110
While talking with Shin-sama, the clothes that should have been dirty became clean
It's Shin-sama's power
The thing called magic
Rona said that Shin-sama's is special, but demon G.o.d-samas and such should obviously be special
After showing the toguneen we grew in the garden, Haju was quite surprised
That's how it should be
Me too, it was my first time seeing such a big toguneen
Shin-sama said it was because he mixed fertilizer into the field
I wonder what 'fertilizer' is?
After asking Dea, he said that it was something that sped up growth, but I didn't really get it
I just got that the so-called fertilizer was the cause of the toguneen getting so big
Running around with everyone after such a long time, is fun
I fell down a bunch, but I wasn't injured
I gave the toguneen to Haju
As a symbol of friendship
Even I told Shin-sama that I gave it away, he won't get angry
Shin-sama's never gotten angry with me
Papa and Mama often got angry and scolded me
Since I quickly got my clothes dirty
He said he'd take me to Haju's place again!
After returning to the castle he told me, but it's fine even if my friends are in other villages it seems
He said that he would just bring me to other villages as well
Of the people I've met up to now, Shin-sama's the most gentle
"You know, Haju, he said that in the nearby village there's a sweet honeysuckle flower"
"Is that so"
"When we go next time, can we go together?"
"Aah[yea]"
Shin-sama put me on top of his lap and pat my head
Really, I really like Shin-sama!
He doesn't seem to be too tired today, Shin-sama's been up the whole time
Shin-sama's a person that often sleeps there are lots of times that when he sleep he keeps on sleeping
There are also times he sleeps for about a month, and even if I'm in the same room as him since Shin-sama is sleeping it's lonely
There are also times when occasionally he locks his door closed
At those times since I can't even see his face, it's super lonely
Doing something like crying from loneliness, up to now I haven't done it much
When I heard that the demon king ate papa and mama I cried, but since Shin-sama will always be with me I thought that it wasn't that lonely
Rune said that I should think of Shin-sama as like a papa, but papa's should be older and so if I had to say, he seems more like an oniisan [brother] I guess?
An awfully strong and reliable oniisan
With a face even prettier than mama's and with glossy and silky hair
Shin-sama is pretty
That is undeniable
Rune as well as Dea as well as Rona all say so
The people in the garden, I heard them say that they would like to try talking to Shin-sama
Which reminds me, I've never seen Shin-sama [take the initiative to] talk to them
Though I see Dea talk to them everyday
"Shin-sama, won't you talk with everyone?"
"…….everyone?"
"The people in the garden"
"Ah—…….since those guys aren't my things"
(Nn? What does that mean, I don't really get it…..)
When I tilt my head, Shin-sama puts his hand on my head with a *patpat*
Shin-sama calling out to [talk to] someone is always just for the four living in the castle
He doesn't even smile at others
I was told that in a bit I would go to school
I was told that school is a place to study and where other children gather
However, it seems it costs money and they said that it would probably just be all humans there
Humans are…..scary
I mean, mama always told me so
Because humans all easily do cruel things
Because if you're caught by humans, you can't be happy
Since the ones in school are children, will I be alright?
Will they not be that scary?
Is it no good to have Haju come with?
I'll try asking Shin-sama
If it costs money then I can only ask Shin-sama
I received money to go shopping, but since the money's from Shin-sama I don't want to use it for things besides that [shopping]
"Haju, huh……..since Haju is living in that village he can't commute to school"
It seems we can't go together
…..how lonely
"Haju, can't live in the castle?"
Even though there's nothing he needs to be scared of if he's in Shin-sama's castle
There's a bunch of food, there's also a bunch of pretty clothes and ribbons
There's a fluffy bed to sleep on as well as a bath
Even though it's all such good things
"Since Haju has his parents"
"…….I see"
That's right, isn't it
He wouldn't want to leave his papa and mama
My papa and mama were eaten, but Haju's papa and mama are with him
……in that case, can papa and mama and Haju, the three of them, come live in the castle?
Would they also not want to be separated from the people in the village?
…..as expected, is it no good…..?
Even though I thought it would be fun if we could be together…..
"Sorry, I can't replace Rau's parents"
I shake my head as he pats it
Shin-sama's done nothing wrong
Rune said it
If we went to travel like that at that time we would have definitely been caught by either humans or demons
We were saved by Shin-sama
"[I] really like Shin-sama!"
That won't ever change
Shin-sama squeezed me
Today's the day to harvest sa.s.shyuri
Though actually it should take more days it seems
That fertilizer is amazing!
Moreover, the sa.s.shyuri are bigger than ones I've seen up to now
Everyone was surprised
Everyone went to pull them up by their leaves, but—
"Uuh~……."
Only I couldn't do it
Pulling out only the leaves I fell on my b.u.t.t
My clothes were already muddied
Even though Rune as well as Dea as well as Rona could all properly pull them up
While saying how difficult yet even still pulling up so many
I haven't pulled up even one yet
Shin-sama yawned while sitting in his chair and watching
It seems that Shin-sama dislikes field work
Occasionally he could use magic, but since he'd finish it all in an instant he said he wouldn't do anything until we became tired
(Even though I wanted to show me pulling it up to Shin-sama ~……)
I refuse to give up
While I pull on the leaves looking like I'm going to cry—
"Rau, let's pull together"
Rune's voice came
Rune is gentle
Even from the time we were in the village he would come play with me and such
Rune wasn't pulling it up in my place, but doing it with me
I like that about him
"Then, let's pull. One, two~!"
On my count, we pulled together
And then, it finally came out
I fell on my but again, but since I was happy I couldn't feel the pain
"It came out!"
"Do you want to go show Shin-sama?"
"Yeah!"
I took that sa.s.shyuri and went towards Shin-sama
It was even heavier than the toguneen so carrying it was difficult
However, after showing it to Shin-sama, he said 'you pulled it up well' and pat my head
I told him that Rune helped me to, and he said 'I see' and pat my head again
At that time, even though I was entirely covered in mud, I became clean
This was Shin-sama's magic
Since I quickly get my clothes dirty, Shin-sama often uses this power
"This sa.s.shyuri, can it be given to Haju?"
"Aah[yea]"
Shin-sama once again gives his permission
He's really gentle
Even so, he's a demon G.o.d and there are humans that come to attack him, but Shin-sama hasn't even done anything bad
Humans are scary
Rune also said that he dislikes humans
Because even though he hasn't done anything, they still come to attack Shin-sama
That's why he practices with his sword
Right now his power is still weak, so he can't win against humans and it seems useless, but from now on he'll become strong and he said he'll become Shin-sama's shield
Like that, in order to protect Shin-sama, will Rune die?
However, since he has Shin-sama's divine protection, he said he wouldn't die
I don't really get it
I was taken once again to the village where Haju was, and pa.s.sed over the sa.s.shyuri
They were surprised again, not just Haju but everyone in the village
As expected, it seems it's their first time seeing such a big sa.s.shyuri
When I told them this was also grown in the castle's garden's field, they asked what else was growing
After, they said 'how nice~'
Even though it would be fine if Haju came to Shiin-sama's castle too……
After that, he took me along to the place in the forest where a lot of flowers bloomed
Haju and I licked the flower nectar and Shin-sama watched over us from behind
Shin-sama said that since he even if he eats something he can't taste, so he doesn't eat anything
He said being alright even not eating anything is because he's a demon G.o.d
Saying it's fine even without eating, I wonder why that is?
Even though Shin-sama is here?
