Year 7442, Month 6, Day 4
I heard a scream like gya~ It was from inside the tent. I wonder if they're torturing him? Well, just make sure you don't kill him. Since as long as you don't kill him I can heal him and there's less trouble when we hand him over to the knight group.
..For a short while I sat on an appropriate rock and watched the fire. Just staring at the small fire and I can't but think, ah, it's pretty. And at the same time I also found it strange. Come to think of it that Dereonola is a reincarnated person. Since he was speaking in Japanese and when I identified him this afternoon I confirmed his Unique Ability "Highly Efficient Digestive System" so there's no mistake on that.
But, wait just a moment? Why did I think it was a good idea to hand him over to the knight group? If it's the normal me then I would have done something like Begulu and force him to pay me an amount he can't pay to overlook his crime and then make him forcefully into a slave, even if he's a sex offender, hes still a reincarnated person...No, I guess it's impossible since he was already a slave, wait, it's not impossible. If I had requested the payment from his owner? The owner would probably just give him to the knight group without paying I'm sure. No wait, he's a sex offender? If he made the stupid mistake of putting his hands on one of my subordinates and created discord then, in the first place I've always thought sex crimes were worse than other crimes since the past.. when was the past? before I reincarnated. Theft, intimidation, fraud, murder, there's a mountain of despicable crimes but if it's a crime other than a sex offense I've always thought there was room for pardon. Even though that's the case accept him? There's no way! That's right, that woman, the Bunny-man reincarnated person named Asuka since she was about to be raped by him. Did I try to hand him over to the knight group thinking about her? If I were to just think about her then you could say that even in the case of revenge murder isn't good, so that might be ri..right. But, if I think about in another way then I'm in a situation where I want as many reincarnated people as allies as possible. Did I discriminate against him because of his Unique Ability? Asuka's "Shooting Intuition" is extremely useful after all. Putting aside combat in the dungeon it's an ability that is considerably useful outside and especially when I make guns later.. though if I'm going to say that while it's useless in battle but even Dereonola's "Highly Efficient Digestive System" can't be made fun of. If it's a long-term concealment or scouting mission then being able to have less food on hand is directly related with significantly reducing the amount of luggage. In worst case you could last quite a while just eating some insects. Though it's true that "Shooting Intuition" is a useful ability in a different direction. It's not a problem of which is better. No, it's not a problem of the Unique Ability, his personality is the problem. Just thinking about eating meals together with a disgusting sex offender who has no sense of reason makes me feel like throwing..what was I thinking about again? Stop, what point is there in thinking about these kinds of things right now! If I don't think about them now then when will I! Calm down, even if there's something I don't know don't get emotional, there's nothing good that will come from it. Yeah, that's right, I should calm down and organize things. Just like usual. Now, I'm going to do it.
1. Dereonola is a reincarnated person. His Unique Ability is "Highly Efficient Digestive System".
2. Asuka is a reincarnated person. Her Unique Ability is "Shooting Intuition".
Both of them have useful Unique Abilities. Depending on the time and place they both have their advantages and disadvantages. That's why there's no problem at all that far. I want both of them as my allies, they're talents I want as my subordinates.
3. Dereonola is a despicable sex offender.
He was a slave. I don't know if he was already a slave or was made into a slave for some reason but it's probably unrelated to his sex crimes. I think there's room for pity in the fact that he's a slave on its own but I think that no matter what reason he had I can't accept the fact that he committed a sex crime just to satisfy his own desires. Ah, it could be thought of as a type of revenge, maybe? That doesn't matter for now. It doesn't seem it's that sort of reason this time after all.
4. Asuka is searching for Semayousuke. It's probably someone she knows that died together with her in the accident.
It's certain there's a reincarnated person named Semayousuke, or rather there's a pretty high probability they've reincarnated. I'm sure Asuka is searching because she's confident of it as well. In that case then if I can make Asuka into my ally then later on Semayousuke might automatically come along as well.
5. Derenola's history of sex crimes didn't start with Asuka. It seems he's done it several times.
Someone who's committed sex crimes a number of times is..no good I'm sure. His willpower is weak and it means he has no self-restraint as well. His MP was 7 but it's not a problem to think about just in terms of MP. I'm sure there's differences in individuals. If that wasn't the case then this would be a world where crimes don't occur. With no crimes or conflict, in terms of public order you could say it's a utopia but I'm sure that would just be dystopia. That's why crimes should have no relation to how much MP you have. It might be interesting to try analyzing it but I'll stop for now.
6. The reason Dereonola was in Baldukk.
Unknown. Was he born and raised here?
7. The reason Asuka was in Baldukk.
She most likely came searching for Semayousuke. Since it seems she was born the Kingdom of Devas. It must have been a coincidence she was found by Dereonola.
When I thought as far as that Asuka and Ralpha came out of the tent. I stopped thinking and offered the easy to sit on rock to them. Well then, let's start with introductions, I decided on you from the start, please take care of me from now I guess. Eh? Neruton Red Whale Group*, don't you know it?
"How did it go?"
When I tried asking that Ralpha responded.
"There's nothing to it. That guy is the worst."
Seeing that Ralpha, Asuka apologetically said,
"I didn't think it through enough. We'll talk about those sorts of things later. First let me properly offer you my gratitude."
While saying that she continued her words.
"Really thank you very much for saving me from a dangerous situation. My name is Soma Asuka. My name on Orth is Bernadett Koloil. I was born in the King of Devas but as I'm sure you've already realized I've come this far searching for my boyfriend who died in that accident together with me."
After saying that Bernadett politely lowered her head to us. If I take a look after calming down she's quite cute. Since she's still 14 years old there's a bit of innocence remaining but for a Japanese she's extremely cute. With this then I'm sure she must have been a considerable beauty before as well. On Orth she probably wouldn't be that well accepted though.
"Yeah, it's fine. I just happened to overhear that man giving the message to someone at a restaurant. When I saw that man's face and heard him say "semayousuke" it came to me. That there was another Japanese similar to myself involved in it. That's why, honestly speaking I had no idea what would happen. Just that I thought a pair of Japanese were going to have a secret talk so I thought to eavesdrop on it out of interest."
Since Ralpha is here as well it shouldn't particularly be a problem if I talk about it. It's hard to give a good impression with eavesdropping but there's no better way to put it and I'm sure Ralpha has already talked about it as well.
"Yeah. I'll apologize for trying to eavesdrop as well. I'm sorry. But, since we're both Japanese I wanted to try talking. It's my true feelings that if possible I wanted to enter the dungeon together."
Ralpha says apologetic.
"However, no matter what the reason it's true that you came running in that situation and saved me. Thank you so much truly."
Bernadett lowered her head again while saying that.
"I see, well it's fine. "Also, from here on out let's talk in {Common Language}. It would be troublesome if the knight group comes."
After saying that I continued talking.
"My name is Alan Greed. Al is fine. In Japan I was Kawasaki Takeo. I was born in Bakuddo Village a remote region of the Rombert Kingdom."
"My name is Ralpha Firefreed. Ral is fine. Just the same in Japan I was Ono Misa. I was born in Ralpha Village of Rombert. It seems I was an abandoned child. I just said it right? I was picked up by the dwarf Zenom when I was a baby."
After hearing what Ralpha said was so surprised her eyes widened but I'm sure she remembered that they aren't in a relationship where they'd share every detail about their origins, while pretending to act calm she said, "Call me Bel."
"After that is Ralpha's father who she mentioned just now Zenom Firefreed and my combat slave the Lion-people race Dadino Zulu. Since Zenom is short just call him Zenom. Since it seems Zulu is proud of his family name feel free to call him Zulu."
While saying that I add another branch that would work as firewood to the campfire. In the next moment, Bel nervously asked me.
"By the way, Al-san. Is that a "gun"?"
Just as one would expect from someone with the Unique Ability "Shooting Intuition" it seems she has interest in guns.
"Ah, that's right, I thought it was strange as well. What does that have the shape of a "gun"?"
Ralpha's hopped on the question as well. Come to think of it she never asked until now. I've noticed her just staring strangely at my bayonet occasionally but since she never said anything I just ignored it.
"Ah, in the past...I think it would be around 40 years in the past from now? No, around 35 years. I was a "Self-defense officer". That's why I can decently use the sword normally but in reality the "bayonet" is easier for me to use. That's why I made it in this shape."
After responding with that and Ralpha says.
"Oh so that was the case. I had thought that you were a "Chuu-ni-byou Gun Mania"."
What in the world is that?
"But, Al was in the "self-defense force" huh? Did you become a "salary-man" after quitting the "self-defense force"? How old are you?"
Ralpha still talks in a way as if she doesn't even know the existence of the word "discretion" as usual.
"Yeah, I entered the "self-defense force" after I left "high school". I was in the "self-defense force" for about 6 years. After that I quit being a "self-defense officer" and spent close to 20 years in sales for a foodstuff company. I died when I was 45 years old so now I'm 59. Also, I wasn't a "self-defense force" but a "self-defense officer". Use the word properly."
I responded with a sullen expression. Thinking of me as a chuu-ni-byou gun mania..this shitty brat.
"Uhe~ 59 like, aren't you already an old man. Not to mention you're so picky about everything~"
Ralpha says while laughing. Th..This..
"Shut it. You were a "high school student" but in that case aren't you already an old woman past 30? In the first place I'm still 14 years old on Orth!"
Bel started laughing at our idiotic argument.
"Then, I'm a 35 year old woman now because I died when I was 21 years old as well."
And said that, so we stopped our pointless argument and faced her. Sorry.
"It's already fine to just ignore her. Then, is semayousuke Bel's boyfriend?"
