The Sended's
Chapter 26: That Fantasy Dream of Mine
I was really infuriated by that damn Prima Causa, even if I end up being reborn into a fantasy world, it made my previous job go to waste, this is already my third time
Condemning him is useless, so I'll focus on what's here first
I was born an ordinary daughter, yes. In a small hinterland tribe called Afiel, my own name was Rune. Right now that's all I know
We live in peace even though our technology is still too far away even from the Hojo clan, maybe about 1000 years ago. Whatever it is I'm pretty happy with my childhood living under thatched roof
When I was seven years old, I met my childhood friend Lofi, he was Kyouka.
We play together every day, or that's what the villagers of Afiel know. The truth is we were just chatting and trying to enjoy this peace while still being children
"And here I am, the emperor Yamato, living a simple life like a commoner" I said
"Now we are just ordinary people, past glory seems to disappear in a matter of seconds" Kyouka added
"Several seconds is enough time for that God to destroy the world, from the very beginning he made it anyway" I lay on the green grass on this hill
But even so, isn't it a bit strange? You see, I who tried desperately to rule the world in order to be like it, was thwarted many times like this
Who is not upset?
Kyouka next to me arranged the crown of the flower that along the way he picked, I myself was more interested in this glowing plant that I was holding
I had never seen this in the world before or before again, when I brought it up here where light was so abundant, it did not emit its light anymore, but when in the dark place it was lit in blue
With just this plant alone I can believe that this is really a fantasy world like in my dreams
"So! Ryuu, try this,"
"Eh? Why don't you wear it? You did it,"
"If I'm the one wearing it, I can't see it" Kyouka replied
"Hell,"
I'm wearing it, I don't know what my face looks like
"That's cute! Eh? Why is your face flushing Ryuu?"
"Of course not!? I'm ashamed to wear this thing-"
Embarrassed? huh huh? Wasn't that one's humanity gone when we were reincarnated?
Or maybe...
"God I want to use my first chance!"
"Eh?" Kyouka was a little surprised
The sound of the whirring wind disappeared as well as the color of this world left behind a mere black and white, it was a sign of a God appearing
"I'm listening,"
"Did you restore our humanity?" Much
"You're pretty meticulous, but I didn't erase your humanity in the first place" huh? what do you try to mean? obviously I don't feel
"**You can feel shame, pity, love, or even hatred for your fellow human beings, but only to the extent that you are sent. That's because you consider the humans of this world as tools, but you consider Lofi as a friend
Later you will feel the difference, later when you consider someone from this world as a friend instead of a tool**,"
That ended his explanation, he disappeared and everything went back the way it was
I understand what God is saying, but I don't really understand what that means? Was it true all this time that I only treated them as tools?
"Truely Ryuu, I actually also doubted your answer before, when I was with Sayaka back in Asagi school, I could feel happy and embarrassed, too,"
"So it's true, it's been a long time since I've had friends,"
If you remember it when I was with Kaguya and Victoria and my previous crew, I could feel those things, but it means that if I consider someone as a tool then I can kill him without such mercy?
Hah.
"That's them!"
"Well! they're really here,"
Three children of our age from the village of Afiel came, two of them men and one of them was shy and timid
"Why do you two always play by yourself? Not like Emily's always with us,"
"We were just trying to enjoy life peacefully for a moment" Kyouka replied
While I was trying to sleep with the flower crown still on my head
"Whoah! Harold, the rune looks beautiful using that crown,"
"L-yes, I'm sober..."
Hm? Why did he turn his face? Then she's as red as a tomato - Eh!? Does he like me!?
No-no-no, no way! Just imagining it makes me cringe
Kyouka took the flower crown from my head, she wore it for herself
"Hows it? Do I look pretty too?"
"Yes, you are fit to wear a crown" I replied
"That's right! Distinct from the rune, you seem to be perfectly suited to wearing it," Is that an insult?
You rancid brat
"Emily want to try it too?" Kyouka took it off and offered Emily a word she didn't say
"Eh? Eh? I-I.." she's really shy.
That night there was a worship event in our village, it seems that this event is to honor the great spirit who guards this forest, asking that we continue to be protected and get enough hunting material
Everyone must participate in the worship, without exception me and the other children
Here I tried to pay attention to what the village elder was trying to do, he had cast a spell that I thought was magic but until now it was not finished either...
By the way while waiting, this Afiel village feels like a village in Germany in Roman times. Living simply in the forest and blending with nature
What we're going to have the same fate I don't know
Then about Kyouka, she had a face similar to her previous life, whether I was like that or not but my hair and skin said yes
Suddenly the elder bounced back a little and a strong gust of wind was felt for us villagers, I was amazed that Kyouka was still able to fall asleep...
But not only that, there was light from this sacred tree that we prayed for, the light was flakes like flower petals that flew in the wind
The flakes of light finally entered Kyouka's body, I'm sure they didn't mean anything bad, did they?
It seemed that only I could see the light other than the elder, he was very shocked by this but decided to continue his ritual until it was over
"Hey Lofi, when are you going to sleep?" I tried to wake him up after the ritual ended
"Hehe.... eh? Ryuu?"
"Call me stupid rune, at least when there's someone else,"
She rubbed her eyes and yawned, you know..Where are her parents anyway?
My parents were near me earlier, now I said I would wake up Kyouka first so they had gone home first, but I think from then on Kyouka was sitting alone
"Lofi, there's something I need to tell you" Elder!?
"Elder? What's up?"
"It seems, you have a great magic talent,"
The next day, Kyouka and I went to the hill again, but the hill was different. This time I just want to experiment, because the elder said that the capacity of where Kyouka is very large
Not on the hill before because later the boys could come and see our strength, I didn't want that to happen
"Try using your magic Kyouka,"
"I want to, but how do I use magic?" rightly so
Should we ask the gods? I think it would be a waste of opportunity, anyway we had a lot of time today to experiment
"Hmm. I thought, why not try to make it look like it's in the movies,"
"E-uh? Like a magic girl?" w-wah, I didn't even imagine that
"Yes, try!" But interesting to see, right?
I put some distance with Kyouka, who knows she wants to cast some area magic. Leaning on a tree I was in, seeing Kyouka in front of it was continuously chanting
"Fire Ball!"
From the palm of his hand I saw a red light that was growing rapidly, and then came a fireball that directly led here. Loincloth....
"Whoah!" I was lucky to avoid it
The fireball exploded when it touched the tree I was leaning on, the effect also burning the tree completely charred. It's terrible this magic....
Knowing that, I wanted to try something
If true, then there is no need to do everything
But what exactly is the magic I want? I have enough magic that is practical and always needed, for example, if I need a sword. But I also want magic like Kyouka's fireball, is that too greedy?
I'm greedy, otherwise I won't rule the world
Invented it? Hmm..creating....
All right, try it first...
Creation Magic: The wooden sword!
Whoa! A light came out of my hand!
It was a wooden sword that appeared, exactly as I thought. This answers the question of how to use magic
"uh? Why don't you pick up?" e-uh....
"I-it's because-"
"You tricked me, didn't you? You want me to endure the shame when casting magic right!?"
"No-no, I also just understood,"
His face did not seem to want to believe me in the slightest, how was this?
"What magic is that?" Ask Kyouka
"Let's know, I just made this sword in my mind and tried to make it happen in the real world" I replied as I swung the sword back and forth
Oh right too! I want to try the other thing
I put the sword on the ground and refocused my mind again, this time I wanted to try making a fireball like Kyouka
Creation Magic: Making Fire Magic: Fireball
*cough*
I opened my eyes again because I thought the slap failed in my head when I coughed, but I was astonished by Kyouka's look at me
"Ryuu, out of your mouth...."
Eh?
My head was so dizzy, it felt like I was about to faint....
"Yumu!"
The last thing I saw was Kyouka trying to reach me, after which I knew nothing
