I Was Reincarnated Chapter 27

Dea side

Comparatively as a servant, my morning is not that busy

The people outside get up quite early

After getting up I first go outside, and ask if anything's changed

I also ask if they're lacking anything at this time

That place is becoming like a small village, since there were three races it was awkward at first, but now they can live while cooperating

The women cook and sew and the men work in the fields

For things like clothes, the women sew things for everyone to wear

As for what master gave, it's things like food, cloth, and tools

Later, giving off the impression of do what you like, he occasionally comes to watch but mostly leaves them be

Even though he said he bought them in order to watch, the amount of time he's spent watching is short

The field Rune and Rau scattered seeds in seems to have quite good dirt

The speed the vegetables are growing is fast

Based on the way the village plants are growing, their dirt doesn't seem especially good

In other words, it's only Rune's field, master probably did something

As I thought, those two are quite cherished

Even if master comes outside, rather than to watch everyone it would be more correct to say that he came to watch Rau play on the toy that master said was called a swing

He always takes out a long bench and sits, next to him will also be Rune

In his free time Rune will practice with his sword in the courtyard, but once in a while there are days where he will continuously stick closely to master

Master doesn't show disagreeableness towards it as well, instead he will pat his head, or show his a smiling face……

Rau isn't the only one who seems envious at that situation, lately, I've realized

It's the people in the garden

Master has rarely spoken with those people

He mostly only gets information through me

Even though they aren't slaves, they are only people he lets live here

Master gives them hardly any thought

Giving nice clothes and pampering someone where they can see, as expected they would feel envious

Even I have envious feelings towards Rune

Rune who receives the most favor from master

However, lately, Rune's gaze hurts

Since master embraced me, he's become quite extreme

If master sees me, if he's near then it feel like he might make a move

However if Rune's there, master probably wouldn't even consider picking me

It seems master and Rune aren't lovers

Although I can't see their appearance as anything but lovers, but somehow it seems it's different

I don't really understand well, but I don't feel like poking my nose into the problem between the two

I couldn't do anything about it anyway

(Nevertheless, I never thought that he would embrace me)

I am quite old, if he wants to embrace an elf then there are both male and female ones in the garden

Moreover, they are still young

Although I asked just before being embraced, at present, he doesn't seem to feel like making a move on them

"I want to embrace Dea"

If he says such a thing there's nothing I can say, and like that he took me to bed

Well, how to say…….

Being embraced by master felt good

Even though he didn't use any drugs, and despite being so old I was completely fl.u.s.tered and disarrayed

Isn't it supposed to feel bad?

Although it was my first time being embraced by a man, I was able to do so without any pain

Is master just that skilled?

Anyhow, it wasn't terrible

Rather than that, in the middle of it I let out such a coquettish voice and received such teasing words, I'm so embarra.s.sed I could die

I don't want to remember it

(How embarra.s.sing)

It feels like I can't see master's face for a while

Several days after I was embraced, master went out with Rune, just the two of them

Anyhow, it seems they went to a large town

Since knights will probably be there, just the two of them went without taking the carriage or so

I think they'll probably stand out anyway though

Then, just as I thought, it seems the knights showed up

In the afternoon when they returned, Rune clung on even more to master

Since I could dimly hear crying at times, he's surely crying

Without having his meal, it seems he's confining himself with master in his room

The two practically don't appear before us until the next afternoon

While Rune appears considerable dead on his feet exhausted, master is like his usual self

He places him on his lap and fed him food

"Is it tasty?"

"Yea"

"…..it seems it hasn't become so it's fine not to eat"

He muttered such words, and I tilted my head

The one fine not to eat is master since he's a demon G.o.d

Since Rune is a beastman, if he doesn't eat he'll starve to death

Even though that should be obvious

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

The direct question is quickly asked

The amount I know about demon G.o.ds is too little, even if I think about it, I can't comprehend what this master's thinking

"Aah, Rune became perpetually young"

""……Eh?""

With an explanation that was much too simplified, both I and Rona look on blankly

"Since G.o.d told me not to do such things to other guys, I can't do it anymore, but since he has my divine protection, as long as I don't go and kill him he'll keep living"

""……Eh?""

"…….G.o.d?"

At that Rune tilted his head in confusion as well

Did he meet with G.o.d again?

…….How?

"How to say it…..it seems he called out only my consciousness and before I realized I was back to my room same as before"

I wonder how master can be this indifferent about it

He should have expressions of surprise and hearty laughter, right?

Until now I haven't seen it though

"Since Rune has perpetual youth, his appearance won't age, he'll always be like this"

I haven't really realized it yet

Rune is making a complicated face

"What about Rau? Can't Rau always be together with s.h.i.+n-sama?"

Seeming to only only understand from the talk that Rune won't die, Rau asks master

"Only Rune is perpetually young, if I make Rau perpetually young too then it seems something not good will happen to this world…….well, making the current Rau perpetually young is just impossible though, I'm not a lolicon after all"

"Lo-Li….?"

Some of master's words, even now, there are some I can't understand

I think those are probably from the other world

"Truthfully, I made Rune perpetually young by accident, and before I realized it it seems he became perpetually young. G.o.d told me after it already happened, since I didn't know any such thing could happen……ah, that's right, the moment Rau becomes perpetually young the world might end or strange creatures might be born…….if that happened it would be bad, right?"

It seems master accepted it all and has his own way of taking responsibility

As I thought, master's way of thinking is beyond me

Probably only master thinks that way

It seems it's difficult for Rau and she makes a dissatisfied expression

"If the world were to end, everyone would die, of course, I too would die, even with that do you still want to become perpetually young?"

"If s.h.i.+n-sama would die, then, don't want!"

"I see"

Master patted Rau's head

Even though Rau is being coaxed it seems she doesn't realize it, but although he said he didn't have children in his previous existence, I wonder why it is that he's this good at dealing with children?

"However, just Rune's unfair!"

Her mouth pouted while she complained

"There's no helping it, since I didn't even know that someone could become perpetually young"

So it seems to be the result of chance

Perpetual youth isn't something to only be envious of

Pa.s.sing eternity with master may seem attractive, but you can only watch those around you as they die

If it's when the same race is around then they probably wouldn't even realize, but now there are other races

Beastmen have a shorter lifespan than elves, and the long-lived spirits

From a spirit's perspective, a beastman's whole life is short

For the perpetually young and undying master everything pa.s.ses in but an instant

Not growing old seems bitter

Since you can only watch while people die

Although it seems Rune won't die unless master kills him, master probably won't kill Rune

If he kills Rune, I think it would only come to that when he does so just so that he can die

It seems master has had no interest in his own life even from his previous existence, even now is probably the same

Although he can't die since he's a demon G.o.d, even that time when we attacked the castle he hugged and protected me

If he hadn't been undying he would have died then

G.o.d transformed master to a demon G.o.d, but I think that was the correct choice

If he hadn't, it's not hard to imagine that this master would soon relinquish his life

If it were me I couldn't change that

If it's Rune, perhaps he might maybe be able to

It would be good if master cherished himself more

Even if it's just a little

Though it might be tough since he's undying

Taking away the hand patting Rau, it now rubs circles on Rune's stomach

He leans his head on his shoulder and seems to fall asleep

Master is as always going at his own pace, sleeping to an unimaginable extent

No doubt because he has no hunger, although I don't know whether he needs so much sleep, even in his previous existence he seems to have slept just as well

However when seeing him sleep like this, he seems quite different from the legendary figure of the demon G.o.d

Humans are more ferociously greedy

This master wants nothing

I can't help but think master wouldn't be so sad he'd cry even if the people around him weren't there, with the exception of Rune

Rune said it before

Master, as long as he can quietly sleep, that's good enough

If he can occasionally kill time that would be enough

This master, even if he's alone he probably wouldn't think it's sad

While master slept, I had a proper talk with Rune

However, I don't think anything's changed even a bit

The many people in the garden, are accordingly busy everyday

Certainly, master's room is on the top floor, it's hard to hear their voices, but it's not quiet

(Will he perhaps go to buy people again?)

Although he said not to go to town for a while, it wouldn't be strange even if the number of people increased in the not distant future

Here is safe, there is also no starvation

Even for us elves, even for other races, such a peaceful place like this is paradise

If they were to come into contact with this village many people would unanimously choose to come here

Dea side end

TN: not much on the Dea/s.h.i.+n action, a rather short chapter

Dea's chapters seem more like summaries or reports of what happened
