Chapter 145 - I’m Not Kind!….Graduated From Being A Human!
I think about what I’ve done.
It seems like instead of a curse, I erased something called “evil eye”…I don’t know what that “evil eye” is but I’m glad that that black thing is gone.
I seemed to have broke the thing called “magic stone”….what is that “magic stone”?
It looks like I have revived the forest…that’s good.
I seem to have evolved “Yggdrasil”….what’s “Yggdrasil”?
I liberated the divine beasts…that’s me alright!
I killed the 5th knight order of Emperors Kingdom…what kind of people are they…didn’t they deserve it?
It seems like I indirectly killed the king and the high mages….what kind of people are they….that’s divine punishment, I think.
-0-
Is there a problem?
「…I thought you’d be depressed after knowing you killed.」
「Ah, there’s a word called “retribution”. What else?」
I’m upset that I kill…that’s it.
Besides, those 5th knight order, the king, the mages, they were unbelievably outrageous.
Sacrificing beastkins, using children as bait…they shouldn’t be allowed to live.
「It seems like the slave children were protected by a neighboring country.」
「…? I’m not sure why you are telling me this.」
Then, he further explained it to me…
There were 200 slave children brought into the forest to be sacrificed and they were safely protected.
The two of them are staying at my house….eh!
「It seems like they have survived the forest thanks to your protection. You have helped them too. It was also good that the slaves who had fled earlier had asked the neighboring country for help. There was a scouting corps of the nearby country in the forest at that time.」
…what do you mean protected?
I didn’t even know that the slaves existed, how can I protect those children?
I don’t know but it was all thanks to my magic.
Eh? I’m involved in the slaves who ran away earlier?
That’s…for now, it’s great that the children are alive.
But still, I’m surprised by the fact that Usa and Kuuhi were slaves.
「As for you, you have become something else.」
「….eh?」
What are you saying, old man…I mean god-sama?
「It seems like all the power of the four heroes has been poured into you.」
「…..」
「Moreover, in this world where there is no overseeing god, you have become the master of the divine beasts.」
「…..」
「You are now the ruler of this world.」
…eh?
So…I’ve graduated from being a human?
Let’s calm down for now.
「….do you want to become a god?」
「I refuse!」
What are you saying, old man…I mean god-sama.
Can you wait until I calm down?
There are too many things running in my head and it’s about to explode.
「….don’t you want to be that amazing?」
「I absolutely can’t do it….what did you try to do?」
「Nothing, just selecting a god to watch over this world.」
If I said that I wanted to be a god, something might have happened to me.
Apparently, the old man in front of me is not a straightforward person.
Let’s be careful with what I say and do.
「Don’t’ be so cautious.」
「Can you blame me? You just tried to do something to me, didn’t you?」
「My apologies, your existence is too unusual so I’m having trouble handling it.」
I’d like to say it’s none of my business but it’s all about me.
I’m having trouble dealing with myself too.
「What matters most for me is to spend time with my companions. 」
「…you have great power, is that all you want? 」
「For me, power doesn’t matter. The curse…I mean the evil eye, the reason I decided to do something about it is because it is tormenting my companions. I cleaned the forest because it would be better to live in a clean place, right? That’s how I decided to live in this world, that’s it. Nothing more. Though I must say, I survived because I had power and I’m grateful for that. 」
「I see. 」
「My father and mother told me that when in doubt, simplicity is the best policy. 」
Always prioritize your life.
In times of trouble, the most important thing is not to think too hard.
Once you have secured a place to live and food to eat, you need to take measures against diseases.
If you can make friends while doing so, do it.
If thinking too hard makes you unable to move, then start moving by protecting yourself.
This is the way my father and mother taught us, siblings, to live.
My father had wandered around the world when he was young and they seemed to be the lesson he learned from that.
It meant a little in Japan but in this world….they are words of wisdom.
「To my family….no, that’s it. 」
「I apologize. 」
My family should be fine. I’m sure they’re laughing while talking about me.
Ah…he said I’m no longer human so, what have I become?
