I Was Reincarnated Chapter 43

A Peaceful Day

"s.h.i.+n-sama, they said we can harvest the toguneen!"

When I appeared in the dining room, Rau ran to me

The so-called toguneen is a food similar to what was called a potato on earth

The starchy quality is also similar

The field Rau and the others planted seeds has a faster growth than the fields of the guys in the garden

I have a feeling it's because I didn't give those guys any fertilizer

Not like it really matters

I buy food

"Will Rau and Rune do it [harvesting]?"

"Dea and Rona too!"

Well, since it is big [the field]

It would take two people some time

"Will s.h.i.+n-sama do it too?"

"I will be watching"

I have no interest in playing farmer

Whether ploughing or harvesting, even just the thought of doing it doesn't arise

Too troublesome

I could just harvest all of it with magic, but they seem like they are looking forward to the harvest, and I have no intention of s.n.a.t.c.hing away their enjoyment

Me doing something like make them cry……there's no way I would, right?

Rune and Rau steadily stick to me

I thought I should push them away a bit more previously, but I seem to have already completely spoiled them

Pampering, I was often told that it was not good for the other person

It would make the other person become a useless person

Although I somewhat get that, I thought that this time it's fine since I have no plans of separating from the two

Even if they become useless guys I'll take care of them

Eve if they become useless guys like that I like them so it's fine

If we did separate, they probably already can't live a normal life

Such a person is preferable, since there's a low chance of them getting away from me

I am attached to the guys that fit my taste

If they were to try running away from me, I might just have to lock them up

Well, they are my things

In the case they were no longer my things then I would immediately cut them off though

Although I have a principle of not separating from my things, on rare occasions it happens

I don't hang on to my feelings towards guys that separate and leave my protection

It's easiest to cut off such feelings

Well, there are various conditions

That probably has nothing to do with these two

"After you're done, properly wash your hands, okay?"

"Ye~s"

If it would be faster to just take a bath, should I just toss them into the bath

Since Rau was doing fieldwork, her whole body soon became covered in mud

She told me she wanted clothes that she could get dirty, but as I'm here, something like clothes that can't be dirtied don't exist

Since I can make them clean with magic

However, since moving in something like a swishy skirt is probably difficult, I bought some clothes that are easy to move in

She wore those kinds of clothes only when she was doing field work

Speaking of, it seems laundry is work everyone does

When I saw clothes hanging up along a rope, I was a bit surprised

Being tied from Rau's toy [the jungle gym] to a castle's decoration, was just too much

There's now a designated area to dry clothes

Those guys in the garden have to handle their drying on their own though

Since I'm not going to bother with something like their laundry

As I don't need to do laundry, bath, or eat, I unintentionally forgot about them

When I tried thinking about it, my living conditions are extremely inhumane

Don't eat since meals have no flavor, also for bathing, since I can just use magic cleanup and on top of that was.h.i.+ng my long hair is troublesome, I rarely enter the bath

That's also why I forgot about the laundry matter

Originally when I was in j.a.pan it was all taken care of by the housekeeper, and I didn't do much housework

Since it was troublesome

For that reason, I didn't even consider daily necessities

At first I even forgot to buy things like bath towels

I brought some out with magic so it wasn't an inconvenience though

"s.h.i.+n-sama, look, look~ I've gathered this many"

Rau came to show me the large amount of things she held with both hands

I have no interest in potato

However, Rau's whole face was smiling, that was good and I pat her head, she smiled looking even happier

And so like that she returned to the field

(Well done)

Although you couldn't really call it mud, because of the fertilized the dirt looked damp

It seems things can even grow in infertile soil, but perhaps because this field's soil is considerably mixed with fertilizer it could grow things that were all nothing but ones that were larger than the norm

(It should be fine to not buy any potatoes for a while)

Since such a large amount has grown

I absentmindedly watched

The four seemed to be having fun

It seems these four cultivated fields in their village

Me?

I haven't even done any weeding

Too troublesome

I lived in a penthouse so I also didn't have a garden

Even if I was told to do it at school, I didn't ever do it

After calling for a contractor [to do the work], the teacher got quite angry

Since I didn't want to do it it couldn't be helped

"Master, the harvest is quite large"

Dea is also unexpectedly excited

When in the village, just how frugally did he live?

"s.h.i.+n-sama, is it your first time seeing a harvest?"

Rune asked me who, rather than saying I had a weak reaction, had almost no reaction

"That's right"

"Then, you don't know how much is normally harvested?"

"No, I know"

The information I have even had that

Like the proportion of food that should be harvested from a field of this size

"…….you aren't surprised?"

"Since I blended that much fertilizer in, after all"

This result is to be expected

Not like this is beyond expectations

"……..When?"

"When I made the field"

"…………"

Rune was at a loss for words

It seems he thought that the soil they were digging up was just ordinary

"……s.h.i.+n-sama, didn't you hate doing things like this?"

Up to now I haven't helped at all, I've only sat in a chair and watched

"Aah[yea], it's troublesome"

I didn't even have any thoughts of wanting to, even in my previous existence I wouldn't do it

"That field is a field I made for Rune and Rau. It's good if you like to use it"

Having Dea and Rona help with it is fine, planting more seeds is also fine

Since the field's soil will become less fertile you have to periodically mix in more fertilizer though

It's also fine to give them fertilizer and have them mix it in themselves though

In that case they won't have the [necessary] tools and probably won't be able to fully mix it into the soil though

"…….s.h.i.+n-sama, what do you like?"

"What I like?"

I never thought I would be asked that

"I like to do things like watch my things do things" [TN: sorry for all the things]

Aside from that, there's nothing

I can't really say I like sleep, I only sleep because I'm sleepy after all

"Is there no other thing you like? Like something you want……"

"There's nothing"

It was the same during my previous existence

Even when I went along with someone to the movies I would sleep, the amus.e.m.e.nt park or aquarium, the art museum and such too, I didn't have even a bit of interest

If my thing wasn't there, then I wouldn't even bother going

I myself, have no place I want to go and nothing I want to do

Honest work like weeding, even since before was troublesome and I disliked it, though

In this world, it seems there are no so-called contractors

Guys that have a garden-like place where they live are only a small portion of the wealthy humans, and it has to be personally weeded

Though humans have slaves they can leave it to

If I think about it, there's also nothing that I want

Of my things as well, it's not like there was someone that I had to have no matter what, I'd have been fine even if they weren't there

Once I obtain them it's only that I don't feel like letting them go, if they aren't there from the beginning I have no intention of unreasonably having them

"Did you also feel like that in your previous existence?"

"That's right"

Since coming to this world, I don't feel like my character's changed, it's not like I have a separate personality

If anything the awareness of that I can use magic was the only thing that changed

There's information I got as a demon G.o.d, but even if I was different person [not a demon G.o.d] there would be no difference, if Rune and the others weren't there I probably just wouldn't have met any humans face to face either

Nothing's changed with me from my previous existence

I'm only interested in guys that fit my taste, I have no interest in other people

I'm an existence that only gives

I completely reject things I dislike

Like that, although I wasn't perpetually young and undying before, my way of thinking hasn't changed

For that reason, even now, I have awareness as 'Hinoue s.h.i.+nya'

I also have my previous existence's memories

"Do you dislike such a me? However, there's no way I'll let you go now after such a long time though"

There's no way I'd let go of Rune and the others

After all, this is me, I haven't changed since before

As for what the G.o.d said, I seem to have never fulfilled my full lifespan, I don't have those memories, but I think that wouldn't it probably be because my personality didn't change

Before my eyes, the four shook their heads

That they 'won't run away'

Even if they got away, I think they probably wouldn't be able to live peacefully after all

Since they have my divine protection, they can live out their entire lifespan

It's fine not to fear the threat of demons or humans

There's also no hunger

They can enter the bath everyday too

The same as humans

Once they experience such convenience and comfort, being deprived of that would cause panic

Like a power outage and losing electricity or losing your running water……

With no emergency supply, if that continued for many days you could only become stressed out

In modern society, it's natural

Even though in the past there was no electricity or running water

Rune and the other's [current] mental state, is probably a similar feeling to that

"For me, it's enough if you guys seem like you're having fun……though I'll occasionally go for a stroll by myself"

A stroll by myself

However this world doesn't have any places to see

No matter which town you go to they all look the same

(Next time, should I try going to a village instead of a town)

The only village I've been to is Rune and Rau's

Even if I were a beastman, or an elf or spirit, they would probably still be afraid and cautious of me

Even if I go to a town, it really only feels like I do it for shopping and it's not interesting

"[Rau] wants to go too"

"……If I feel like it, I'll take you"

If Rau and the others are there, will they not be frightened?

However, it wouldn't be the same as dealing with those guys [humans]

Even if it's their misperception, it's irritating [the humans frightening them]

With quite and amount of dug up potatoes, the field has become greatly emptied

I teleported the harvested things to the food storehouse and mixed fertilizer into the emptied areas

This time everyone saw, they were dumbfounded

Since I [usually] do nothing

"Come forth fertilizer, be mixed"

I just said that

"Did you do it like this before?"

"Aah[yea]"

Though the scope of it is smaller since there are still other crops

"Is there anything that s.h.i.+n-sama can't do?"

"Perpetually young and undying things"

It seems I can revive guys that are killed and died since there is the cheat-like magic

However if it [death] is due to lifespan, I can't revive them

That G.o.d said to do 'within reason'

I can't manipulate someone's lifespan

Isn't the only one who could do such G.o.d?

If even G.o.d can't, then probably no one can

"Later, I guess I'll change my race"

I can change my appearance, but I can only be the demon G.o.d

I can't remove Rune's ears or tail

It seems only I can change appearances

Though I have no intention of attaching beast ears

After all, I was originally a guy who didn't have them

"Is that why before you looked like a human?"

"It seems it's only possible for me to do though"

Rune saw me when I had blonde hair and blue eyes

However, I already have no desire to do it again

Since more people stared compared to when I had black hair

Just normally wearing my veil like usual is best

"……I don't like that. It felt like it wasn't s.h.i.+n-sama……"

"Don't worry, I have no desire to do something like that again"

I only told Rune that much, I didn't say it was because the surroundings were annoying

My position as demon G.o.d gathers enough attention on it's own, I don't need to get more
