I Was Reincarnated Chapter 55
The Chaos, Ends Here
Sei side
That day, the whole world experienced a shock
Able to encircle the entire country of Nuisants, was an enormously high wall
The nation's people were forcefully expelled, and it appeared that no matter which country they were hard pressed to respond [to the new deportees]
It seems no matter what they do they can't return
Testing it, they tried to teleport in, but they weren't able to teleport into Nuisants country
For me to not be able to go to the Nuisants country that I had been to countless times, just how powerful is the barrier placed there?
It's also impossible to teleport to the magic formation in the castle there
Possibly, the magic formation got erased?
In other words, the castle has most likely fallen
The only one who could do such a thing, in this world there is probably only one person
—the demon G.o.d
When I went towards the demon G.o.d's castle, there was nothing there
The walls, the castle, the voices……
There wasn't even any evidence of something having been there, not even a trace of it was left on the land
(The demon G.o.d, ended up going to Nuisants?)
I can't meet him in this place anymore
This is extremely troubling
To say that he's gone to Nuisants, means that he probably will no longer come to town
Even if he does go to town, he won't necessarily come to one in Gudoudotelia
If he were to appear in another country, I won't be able to interfere
Since I am Gudoudotelia's governor
Among the ones expelled from Nuisants, the king, as well as the knights, the magicians, and the castle guards, are not there
This information is understood throughout the whole world
I know that destroying humanity would be easy for the demon G.o.d
This time, only the people in the castle disappeared
(Nuisants, what the heck did they do?)
I understood that they probably provoked the demon G.o.d's anger
The demon G.o.d himself said he wouldn't attack
And it seems he basically has no interest in other people
It's the country that put the most effort into it's hero cultivation
I thought that the demon G.o.d's speech put an end to such, but…..
It couldn't be, that it was attacked out of retaliation?
……there's no way
And so, since that day the rumors about the demon G.o.d did not die out
Either way, he seemed to be buying slaves
No matter which town he appeared in, he went to buy up slaves and then the slaves would disappear right after
But it's not like he bought everyone, he seemed to be doing a variety of screening then buying, but……
I don't get at all what his criteria are
Furthermore, he bought slaves and food then disappeared immediately
I didn't have the spare time to go meet him
I could only hear the after report
Buying slaves, what exactly does he want…..
Isolating Nuisants, what the heck does he intend to do……
Even the demon G.o.d's slaves were not seen in towns
Only able to hear rumors, I worried about the unknown truth of the situation that I did not know
Like that, one day, at a slave shop where I was waiting in ambush, the demon G.o.d appeared
When he saw me he made a displeased face
The demon G.o.d wasn't wearing a veil like usual and that beauty was exposed
"You, are a person with too much free time, huh"
The demon G.o.d spoke rudely
I, the governor, have quite a lot of work, there are even many days I can't even return home
"What did demon G.o.d do to Nuisants?"
If I can't stomach the demon G.o.d's words [every mean thing he says] the conversation wouldn't advance
If he were angered, the chance to converse with the demon G.o.d even grudgingly like this would disappear
"The fake hero was sent to my castle, and he attacked the guys in my garden"
So they probed the castle
"Was anyone killed?"
Would that be why he was angered?
"Since I put up a barrier there's no way they'd be killed"
He glanced at me and said like I was an idiot, I was at a loss for words
"…….Well then, why did you attack the castle?"
"I should have given you all a warning. You also said you reported it to the other countries, right? 'If you send the heroes too many times I will attack the castle' or so, right?"
Certainly, he did say that previously
But I never thought he would actually carry out such a thing……..
"What do you intend to do isolating the country?"
A country without anyone left in it
What exactly does the demon G.o.d intend to do there?
"I'll make a country…….a country like Baren country"
"Baren country!?"
A country that the kings' ancestors overthrew in the olden days
So he wants to rebuild Baren?
"We can't enter?"
"Guys like you are unnecessary"
After saying that he just went into the shop
Did he mean that humans are unnecessary or that arrogant guys like he called me before are unnecessary………
—Which is it?
(How to catch the demon G.o.d's interest……)
I'm ineligible to even see that country
The demon G.o.d upon buying several slaves soon left the shop
The slaves disappeared, he seemed to have teleporting them, and like that the demon G.o.d wandered about the town
He once again bought up a large amount of foodstuff
However, this time he also bought large quant.i.ties of things like dishware and furniture, everyday articles as well
Spending a large amount of gold in Gudoudotelia is a happy thing, but no matter how I think about it it's not just several people's worth
It seems he's buying slaves even in other countries, but it seems that he's also shopping in town after that………..
Just how many people are in the demon G.o.d's country?
He didn't pay any attention to my accompaniment and kept walking
If I'm silent, even if I stay close the demon G.o.d won't chase me away
Since it seems he dislikes noisy things, lately I've been careful not to talk too excessively
Either way, I end up asking him about things I'm worried about though
Suddenly, the demon G.o.d stops walking
When I wonder what he's looking at and turn my gaze, I see an orphan being beaten with a whip
"Noo! I didn't steal anythiiing! Stop it!!"
The child shouts while crying
"Shut up! I saw you in front of my store!"
It seems they are being punished for just being in front of the store
There are many people who see orphans as enemies
Even if they don't do anything, many are beaten since stores are damaged just being a.s.sociated with orphans
Pitiable scars can be seen tracing the back of the orphan wearing only old rags
"To here"
The moment the demon G.o.d said something, that orphan was in the demon G.o.d's arms
"Cleanup"
With that word, the appearance cleaned up completely all at once
The shopkeeper was surprised at the sudden disappearance and looked around, he saw the demon G.o.d hugging the child
While the orphan was still leaking tears, they looked up at the demon G.o.d
The demon G.o.d fixedly stared at the orphan
After that, he abruptly smiled and pat their head
Different from his eyes looking at me, his eyes seemed gentle
A smile that fascinates people
The surroundings also gasped seeing it
"Clothes, disappear"
The orphan's clothes disappeared and he covered their scars with his hand
With that, in a blink they became unblemished
(Is there no magic the demon G.o.d can't use?)
The demon G.o.d, who just did that using magic without even chanting, is quite unique though
"Clothes, come out"
After healing the wounds, he put clothes back on again
While holding that child in his arms, he walks away like nothing happened
Perhaps the orphan was too shocked their eyes turned black and white
After that they were given food and were quite bewildered
"You aren't hungry?"
At such words the hunger probably outweighed [their bewilderment]
Hurriedly accepting it and greedily devouring it
They were probably quite hungry
"This world's orphans, to here"
At that time, a lot of dirty looking children appeared surrounding the demon G.o.d
"Cleanup"
At that word their appearance completely changed
They gave off the feeling of 'just how many days have you washed them?' and their knotted hair became silky…….
The dirty clothes also became white and as good as new
Those children were also given food
"Will you also be taking these orphans?"
To the demon G.o.d's country
How to say it…..how envious
For me, even though I hold the position of Gudoudotelia's governor
"Search"
He separates the children into two groups
"Alba, to here"
"Eh-…..!? Demon G.o.d-sama!"
Before the demon G.o.d is the orphan he sheltered
He became considerably attached to the demon G.o.d
As I thought, it seems the demon G.o.d is gentle to children
"Alba, they are new friends. Teach these guys various things……can you do it?"
"Yes!"
He smiles gently once again and the demon G.o.d pats Alba's head
"To the country"
The children disappear
However, the second group remained
What will he do with these guys?
"Return to you original location"
From the words I just heard, it seems those orphans won't be taken in
By what sort of criteria did he decide?
"How did you judge which children to take?"
The demon G.o.d's answer, even though I probably wouldn't understand, I had to ask
"I screened them for just the ones that fulfilled the requirements"
"Requirements?"
I repeated him without thinking
"I don't need mature kids"
What do the demon G.o.d's words 'mature kids' mean?
"……..that's your criteria?"
It's another thing that I don't understand the meaning of though [TN: Shin says 'sureta gaki' which is 'sophisticated brats', I guess it's slang this world doesn't use?]
"For children, yes"
Saying so, he once again starts walking
The demon G.o.d always only partially explains
Thanks to that I'm always saying nothing but questions
"What should I do in order to enter that country?"
"It's impossible"
Immediate response
Even though it would be fine to think about it a bit
"…..why?"
"You, have have things you can't abandon, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Is he saying I have something I can't throw away?
My loyalty to my country?
"You are human. Can you say that up to now you have not discriminated? Can you throw away your prideful way of thinking? Will you throw away your country or comrades, your family? ……Don't bother asking if you can't"
I can say nothing to his cold gaze and sharp words
Certainly, it's difficult to say I can
I'm just not that curious
"The guys in the demon G.o.d's country, are there a lot that have been oppressed by humans?"
"There are also those"
Those guys from the slave shops are guys forcibly brought in by humans
It's no wonder they think badly of humans
"So you're saying there's no way we can enter?"
"For now"
("Now"?)
Could it be, he's saying that there may be a day we can enter the country?
Or are they just empty words?
As expected, I can't read what the demon G.o.d is thinking
The demon G.o.d who freely spent money buying up a large amount of foodstuff, again, without chanting, teleported away
