Chapter 6
Blade of Twin Swords
Light slipped into the small opening of my eyes .
So dazzling . It’s white .
「You’re finally awake、Shalleze was so worried you know」
I heard a familiar voice . As I turned to face the direction where the voice came from, an old woman with wrinkled skin was there .
First of all, I raised my body from laying on top of the bed .
Who is this old woman? What kind of person is she? Would it be rude if I directly asked her, I wonder .
The old woman’s strangely overfamiliar behavior confused my brain .
30 empty seconds passed by, the old woman played dumb and spoke .
「You collapsed all of a sudden for some reasons, everyone was worried」
Collapse? Did I collapse?
That moment, because there was an uncomfortable sensation at my feet, I changed my line of sight towards the side of my legs .
「Shalleze-san…」
She was sleeping, laying her face across my feet . My goodness that’s a very cute sleeping face . I’ve been seeing it since forever______
My brain began to work properly . My synapses snapped .
That’s right, I remember now .
I recalled my embarrassing past, and then I couldn’t help but cry .
The lies I used to conceal my weak self were torn off . That’s probably the biggest shame I’ve ever had .
Putting on airs is falsely the same . (TN: 気取って、偽って、同一化させた。)
As I felt like my stale nature was exposed, I couldn’t calm down .
Wouldn’t I be despised, I wonder . Anxiety welled up inside me .
「Well it wasn’t anything significant、I let you chew some medicines so it was easily dealt with」
「Wait a minute、I collapsed because I suffered a sickness?」
「Yeah、 that’s right。 It’s already 2、3 days after you collapsed。 That reminds me my grandpa also caught a cold。 And because of that the old man______」
I collapsed for 2, 3 days huh . Don’t tell me, Shalleze-san has been watching over me . All the way up until now .
I stroked Shalleze’s hair as her head was placed on the bed .
Her long, light brown hair fluttered .
「I’m sorry it’s already too late but、can I hear your name?」
「Yeah、I am called Judou。 My main occupation isn’t a doctor or a pharmacist、I’m a swordsman」
Judou, I heard this name somewhere already .
The duo of Judou and Kedou . They are partners and a married couple .
The two of them are a living legend .
Each of them possesses one sword . It’s the two people who would drive someone to the brink of death when their two swords are combined, it’s something like “two items for one couple” . (TN: The raw on this one is completely bizarre, I can’t make sense out of it without total rephrasing)
「The Blade of Twin Swords…」
It’s the legendary duo, and Rim’s master .
Right now they already retired to live inside these mountains .
「For me to produce a medicine that’s effective against your illness、I even had to borrow help from a Priest。 Well since it looks like it worked、we managed somehow。
______leaving that aside。 」
It was a one-sided conversation . As the old women finished her speech, her tone dropped low and her expressions turned grim .
「What is it?」
I asked .
「No、I just think that you’re not really this age。 Well there are guys with a difference in appearance and real age。
From elves to vampires、and also one part of demon-race is also the same。
I got sidetracked、I’ll speak honestly。
Your real age and appearance do match。 But however、your mental age is different right?」
「…」
Does she know about something? About reincarnation .
I know that reincarnation in this world isn’t rare .
Though I said it’s not rare, I never heard about another example aside from myself .
But, it’s only me that haven’t heard about it, the world is vast .
Perhaps, if you search every nook and cranny around the world, you’ll find at least one person .
Then, before my very eyes, is a legendary adventurer who traveled here and there to every country .
「Can I ask one thing?」
「Yeah、ask me anything。 If you can leave a gift behind、then two of them is better than one isn’t it」
「Before being born into this world。 I was living in a different world、or rather, having memories of past life, have you ever heard about that kind of story?」
The old woman immediately replied .
「I have not。 Even I have traveled the world to this extent、listened to gossips、fairy tales and wordly stories、unfortunately such thing doesn’t exist inside my memories。 」
「I see」
If there was another person like me, wouldn’t it cause a great commotion?
But if there was no such commotion, it’s safe to think that it’s natural for her to say she hadn’t heard about it .
I felt relief hearing 「I have not」 from the person who originally was a traveller .
Especially an otherworld, on top of that it kills the fun because I drag along with me things from the previous world .
「Well that kind of story、haven’t heard about it。
Then what of it、are you one of those?」
「Well who knows。 It can’t be true right。 」
「Fu、 well that’s obvious。 Everything of souls and flesh are the creation of God’s Stardust、even if it’s just a joke, saying things like that would make you receive the divine punishment」
That’s frightening . Super frightening .
This isn’t Japan, religious-related things are scary . I want to stay away from delicate problems as much as possible .
If I don’t want to be cursed by God, I better not tell my reincarnation story to people .
♦ I put on my tryhard pants today for this chapter, hopefully there’s no stupid grammar mistake .
