I Was Reincarnated Chapter 35

Returning to my room, Rune finally stopped crying and I pat his head

"….will a hero come again?"

"That's right, though they probably won't come for a while"

They're just fakes though

Such a thing as a hero doesn't exist

Though, even just finding fake ones probably takes some work

"Being together with me will probably be dangerous. As expected, Rune doesn't want to see his friends die, right? From now on should only the four of you go shopping?"

Although they won't get a single injury even if they're attacked, it's still scary

If they're near me, there will probably be guys who come only to attack

He vigorously shakes his head

"But, you know, I want everyone to gradually be able to go to town on their own"

I want to sleep

If they can go buy food then I don't need to go

There's also a carriage [they can use]

Everyone, probably hasn't realized yet but they've become quite strong

Even so, Rune frantically shakes his head

(Still too much?)

Perhaps pampering him was bad, it seems Rune became even more cowardly than before

Even though after being attacked he went so far as to say he would go to another village

"Since you have my divine protection, Rune's skill with the sword has improved, right? Also you can't be kidnapped, there's no danger"

Only I could possibly attack him

Despite that Rune makes a face like he will cry

"…..well then, should we have just Dea and Rona do the shopping?"

Although it doesn't really matter to me who does it, Rune is obviously upset

"……I,I'll go too"

"……..I see"

Although he seems to still be frightened, he's saying he'll go so it's probably good

"I'll pa.s.s you some money [just in case/in advance]"

I pa.s.s him the change left over from today

Today I only bought food so there's still a lot [of money] left over

"………"

He froze while receiving the money

Is it that scary…..

(This is bad, I want to pamper him)

………No no, it's fine to pamper him when I can

I hold his hand, and put strength into it

I open his hand and place a light blue magic stone in it

"I will embed this stone in your collar. If anything happens touch this stone and call my name, no matter where you are I'll go to you. Is that fine?"

This time he nodded repeatedly over and over again

I pat Rune's head as he finally makes a relieved expression and insert the stone into his collar

Like that I went to the place everyone was, I insert the stone into everyone else's collar as well

Rau once again hugs me while crying, I spend a short while awkwardly patting her head

As I thought, because I pampered them do they easily become lonely [now]?

Though I'm not against spoiling/pampering my things

Rau is scared to go shopping with just the four of them as well, but if I asked her to house-sit she wouldn't like it

Since when I was sleeping, Rau was alone no different from house sitting

"Even when I'm sleeping, it's fine to take the carriage out on your own. You shouldn't really take those guys in the garden out I suppose? Since those guys don't have divine protection, so they can be killed or kidnapped"

Even so, thinking that it's fine even if they take them along is probably because they are not [like] these four

"s.h.i.+n-sama, why don't you want to go to town?"

"Because if the hero is there I'll be attacked. Moreover, I'll have more time to sleep"

""Eh-!?""

Everyone let out a voice

Well, you know

After sleeping for an entire half month, I still feel like I'm asleep

Somehow, I'm somewhat still sleepy

Even though I've only just been born, it's just too much for me to get up

Am I sleeping too much?

No no, since I don't need to eat, by all rights I can sleep more

It's honestly somewhat worrying

These four need to eat meals, I don't want to make them go hungry

However if they can do their own shopping, it's fine for me to not get up

"Ah—…..however, if I sleep, I won't be able to preserve the food…..what to do?"

It's a problem

We can't buy up [all the food]

"Should we just go shopping more frequently?…..should I put preservation magic on the food storehouse itself"

I should put magic on the storehouse for food for the guys in the garden as well

One by one, I pa.s.sed everyone a bag with money in it

"I, already have one"

"Since that's just the change leftover from today, you can keep it as well"

Rune tried to return it but I shoved it back to him

I cast magic on the inside of the castle and the garden food storehouse

Since the carriage originally had magic on it so it's fine

"See ya, you four'll do great"

I will be sleeping from now on

Now then, I wonder when the next time I wake up will be

―Rune side―

Even though it's been a long time since he was awake, s.h.i.+n-sama says he's going back to sleep and disappears

This time the amount of time spent awake was short

Since he went to town, everyone only saw s.h.i.+n-sama for a short time

I was summoned midway, but even so the time we spent together was short

So lonely

It's probably not just me [that thinks so]

Although he said he was just going back to sleep again for a while, I wonder when he will wake up this time?

Nevertheless…….

(To say something like 'be my bride' to s.h.i.+n-sama, what were those knights thinking?)

I get that s.h.i.+n-sama has divine [level of] beauty, but to propose marriage

It seems they did not realize it was s.h.i.+n-sama, but s.h.i.+n-sama as a bride is unimaginable

However, s.h.i.+n-sama is just that charming

It wouldn't be strange [for s.h.i.+n] to get a special someone

If s.h.i.+n-sama wants them, he would be able to immediately get them

That is……frightening

If s.h.i.+n-sama gets a special someone, wouldn't we be thrown away

Even if we aren't tossed aside, wouldn't we end up like the people in the garden, with him no longer give us much thought

He has spoiled us to an awfully frightening degree up to now

That is an anxiety that always haunts [me]

Since he told me that I would be perpetually young, I ended up thinking about it too much

If I were thrown away, would his divine protection disappear?

If so, if I ended up captured by the humans it would be the worst

Since I would be perpetually young, I would be used up for as long as they like

s.h.i.+n-sama said he wouldn't throw me away

That we would be together forever……..

However that is just the current s.h.i.+n-sama's whim

From now on, in the future, I don't know how it will be

Since I am not necessary to s.h.i.+n-sama

I just like him, but for s.h.i.+n-sama it's not like that

I am s.h.i.+n-sama's thing, for that reason, I worry about when he will throw me away

This, from now on, is an anxiety that will always haunt me

s.h.i.+n-sama fell asleep, and one month soon pa.s.sed

This time's especially long

Without actually showing his figure, not even going to town alone like before, just sleeping like that

Since the door's not locked, in the evening I slip into the bed along with Rau

However, he doesn't wake up at all

Waking him up would be bad, although I didn't wake him up, when I look at the s.h.i.+n-sama who doesn't open his eyes, I'm lonely even if I'm beside him

Since he's just been sleeping the entire time, his hair is short

Lately, it's become routine for me to sleep while caressing his hair

"We need to go shopping to buy food…….the seasonings have also become scarce"

Dea said so during our meal

Dea manages the food for the people in the garden

Unlike the castle that has only the four of us except for s.h.i.+n-sama, the garden has 21 people

Because of that, the amount of food quickly decreased

Although they have fields, there hasn't been enough time for the crops to grow yet

Even harvesting our field's crops is still impossible

"…..should just the four of us go out?"

Rau spoke in an anxious voice

Though everyone together was probably anxious

Myself, also Dea, and Rona as well……

Everyone's expressions became stiff

However, if we don't go, food will soon run out

Since the people in the garden don't have s.h.i.+n-sama's divine protection we can't take them along

"……it can't be helped, we can only go. Everyone prepare to go out, we will go to the closest town"

Dea stood up and said so

If it were s.h.i.+n-sama he could immediately ready the carriage and teleport through magic, but this time we can only be shaken by the carriage ride

I also went to my room to change clothes

I properly attach my sword to my hip and put on my cloak

"R,right then. Everyone, do you have your money? Well then, let's go"

As expected Dea's also seems to be scared when s.h.i.+n-sama's not here

His voice is shaking

While the carriage shook us, no one spoke

After a while the shaking stopped and I knew we arrived at the town

At this time the four of us mustered our determination and started to walk

Although s.h.i.+n-sama could send the food to the castle with magic, we had to carry it to the carriage ourselves

Without taking the carriage into town, we left it at the entrance

If it were a small carriage, it would have been fine to take it inside [the town] at least a bit, but s.h.i.+n-sama's carriage is big

s.h.i.+n-sama always left it at the entranceway, so we also copied that

We nervously disembarked from the carriage and I knew the surrounding people's gazes gathered on us, and my body tensed up

Since we've come to this town several times it's probably known that our master is s.h.i.+n-sama

Since he's never shown his face [as it was covered by a veil], no one should know his face though

s.h.i.+n-sama normally spends quite a bit of money

Since the people of this town also know that, even if I pay with gold coins like the first time we came we won't be stopped

Shopping was anticlimactic and we easily proceeded

Food was piled up in the carriage

Since we didn't want to frequently come [to town], we bought as much as possible

"What else do we need to buy?"

"Seasonings, as well as meat……Ah, how about fish?"

"Won't it make the carriage stink?"

Everyone chatted while walking

Before us whose tensions faded, that knight appeared

The knight we have seen many times

The person called Sei, Gudoudotelia's governor

The governor is the number one most exalted [knight] among knights

The country's name were taught [to us] by Dea as well

"Where is your master?"

Although this knight has never attacked us before, but as expected knights are scary

Rau's face scrunched up about to cry and she just clung onto Dea's leg as I placed my hand on my sword even as I felt myself trembling

"…….although I know it's probably pointless to say you don't have to be so vigilant [of me], but it's fine to not be so vigilant. I [only] have business with the demon G.o.d. Where is he?"

"W,what business do you have with s.h.i.+n-sama?"

This Sei person is human, and before he proposed to s.h.i.+n-sama

I want him to stay away [from s.h.i.+n] as much as possible

"Negotiate, [no]……. I have something I want to request"

(Request?)

The knight has something he wants to request from s.h.i.+n-sama?

Something like please don't bring humanity to ruin?

I don't think s.h.i.+n-sama would decide to do so [destroy humanity] on his own though

Besides, he's sleeping right now

"s.h.i.+n-sama's not here ~mon. He's at the castle ~mon"

Rau spoke while crying

"In that case can't I come along until you get to the castle?"

For some reason the knight looked at me

I wonder why?

"….It's impossible"

"-Why!?"

U-uu-, Scary

When I retreated reflexively, the knight cleared his throat and took a small step back

"Why is it impossible?"

This time he asked without yelling

"Because, s.h.i.+n-sama is sleeping"

Knight blankly stared

"……I can wait until he's awake?"

It seems this knight doesn't know how well s.h.i.+n-sama sleeps

"He's already been sleeping nearly a month. I don't know when he will get up"

"Wha-!?"

As I thought, it seems he didn't know

He's quite shocked

"In that case, since the time I saw you in town, you haven't gone out?"

As I nod, I begin thinking

Although he said he had a request for s.h.i.+n-sama, I wonder what kind of request it is

"…….can you wake him up [for me]?"

This knight, what a thing to say

"If we disturb master's sleep, I heard he would become irritated. The only ones that can intrude on his sleep is Rune and Rau I think"

(Eh-?)

I tilt my head at Dea's words

Even for me, if I disturb s.h.i.+n-sama's sleep, he'll probably get mad I think

(……Hmm? Speaking of which, there have been a couple times I've woken him up, but there are no times he's gotten angry?)

When I first met him, he said he thought of punching me

However, let alone punching me he didn't even get angry

"Won't you ask [for me]?"

While I was thinking, the knight spoke to me

However it's not certain he won't get angry

I don't want to do something that might make him angry for the sake of this knight

"I, I don't want to! I don't want to make s.h.i.+n-sama angry. If s.h.i.+n-sama were to throw me away, I have nowhere else to go-"

Shake my head vigorously

Whether [or not] they are shocked at my desperate appearance, Rau once again bursts into tears

Rau similarly does not want to be thrown away by s.h.i.+n-sama

"s.h.i.+n-sama…..s.h.i.+n-samaah!"

Rau calls his name and the next instant―

Like to protect us, s.h.i.+n-sama appears before our eyes with his back toward us

"It's you, huh. What would happen if you approached these guys, I told you before, right?"

Unlike when he speaks to us, his voice is low and cold

The knight's face pales and he freezes without speaking

Since s.h.i.+n-sama was sleeping his hair is short and he's wearing simple black clothes and his veil

"Fue~nn….s.h.i.+n-samaah"

Rau ran up to s.h.i.+n-sama while crying

I also want to cry

When I'm by s.h.i.+n-sama's side, I want to cry from relief

"Rau, don't cry"

He holds her in his arms and pats her head

Even though the other is a child, I can't help feeling jealous

"Are you done shopping?"

"We were going to go buy fish now but….."

Dea answered

"Tch…..Stop bothering these guys!"

Hearing that, he once again faced the knight and coldly said so

"s.h.i.+n-sama, this person called Sei said he has a request for s.h.i.+n-sama―"

"……..Hah?"

When I spoke, s.h.i.+n-sama turned around

However, that voice was extremely cold

(W,what? Is he angry!?)

I, did I do something to make him angry?

I was bewildered

s.h.i.+n-sama handed Rau to Dea and approached such a me

"Are you actually saying that this guy has a request he wants to ask of me?"

s.h.i.+n-sama was soon before me

Even though normally he's gentle, his voice is scary

Although I can't see his face because of the veil, I can feel his anger from his voice

Without saying anything I just looked up at s.h.i.+n-sama

Although I don't know what made him angry, I can somehow tell I am the cause

Scared and confused, my tears began to overflow

"……Rune is whose thing?"

"S,s.h.i.+n-sama,'s……."

I answer in a panic

Will he throw me away like this?

"Do you want to become this guy's thing?"

s.h.i.+n-sama pointed at the knight and I immediately shook my head

I don't want something like becoming that knight's

However I'm not in the position to say I don't want it

But even so my body is honest, and my tear flow without stopping

"How much do you not want it?"

s.h.i.+n-sama speaks indifferent to my falling tears

(He's throwing me away……)

My anxiety [has become] reality

I don't want [this]

Without going somewhere else, without being sold

"If you are throwing me away, [I'd rather you] kill me"

s.h.i.+n-sama holds the [only] method for the perpetually young me to die

s.h.i.+n-sama killing me

I don't know whether the divine protection can disappear

That, since I haven't heard of a slave who leaves their master living long

As it's s.h.i.+n-sama, it seems [me living alone would be] impossible though

I can feel him pat my head as I sob, and I raise my face

"Since Rune is my thing, you can't say other guy's names"

For a moment I didn't get what he said to me, but even if I get what he's said I can't understand it

(Other people's names?)

Saying I can't say names, does that mean only s.h.i.+n-sama is the exception?

What about Dea and Rona?

Rau?

"Call that knight trash"

Finally, when he tells me so, I remember that I said 'person called Sei' when referring to that knight

(He got mad because of that?)

When I nod he tightly hugs me and that scary feeling disappears and I feel relieved

(Is he not angry anymore?)

When I nervously look up at him, he pats my head again

At that gentle hand, I sigh in relief

A little while after all that, I heard the knight's voice

"Demon G.o.d, Kieshye's Rien-sama wants to meet you. Won't you please tell us about Baren's history, we humans need to know of it"

s.h.i.+n-sama knows it all

Although I don't know which country Baren is, it seems they want to be told the information s.h.i.+n-sama knows

"Too troublesome"

s.h.i.+n-sama's answer was only just that

(I wonder who this Rien-sama is?)

Is Kieshye a far away country?

Abruptly holding me while I was thinking, he ignores the knight and steadily walks away

"Rau too"

Rau reaches her hands out to s.h.i.+n-sama

s.h.i.+n-sama stopped in front of Dea

Like that s.h.i.+n-sama took Rau from Dea's arms, and walked like that while carrying both me and Rau

Dea and Rona follow behind

"Demon G.o.d! We can't let humanity's crimes go any longer, we need to know the truth"

The knight calls from behind

"Don't care"

However, after s.h.i.+n-sama says so, he keeps walking without turning around

Even though he arrived in the middle of our shopping, s.h.i.+n-sama simply ignored it [that fact]

And so when we finished shopping, he teleported the carriage to the castle with magic

Rune side end

TN: s.h.i.+n's yandere is seriously coming out
