How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Episode 531. To prepare for a new period (3)

“But… …

“Are you going to miss something bigger by being blinded by the grudge in front of you?”

“… … Right.”

“You know that there is someone else who instigated the raid on the city of your own people, right?” After all, it's as if what you went through happened because of him.”

Delneph fell silent as if speechless.

He also knows how to make sense of the truth.

In fact, you will be making your own judgments.

That's why he never attacked that kid.

Contrary to the words on the outside, it means that the inside is quite calm.

The foolish thing I'm doing right now is just a way to vent my anger.

“… … I get it.”

Delneph clicked his tongue and stood up, turning his back.

I guess I'm going out.

“I’m going to question you from now on, so you don’t have to listen?”

“be not interested in. If it's the screams of that damn thing, I'll think about it. I don't think so.”

Delnef glanced at me once, then I just shrugged and snorted and left.

Sometimes I get confused whether I'm stupid or not.

I turned around and looked at the little boy.

“ruler? Now that it's all sorted out, shall we talk about it soon? Sorry for the long wait. It's because I'm so busy.”

But the little boy has no words.

Well, it's not like I didn't expect them to change their stance as soon as they got caught and gossip... … what would it be

If they had begged for their lives, they would have been excited and made themselves feel like villains, but this is not the time to do that to each other.

“… … Thumlarananaska.”

When I said the name, the little boy reacted slightly.

Although in this case it seems irritating.

I understand. I almost bit my tongue while calling her name.

“I am from the South. He seemed to have been born in a village inhabited by ethnic minorities living in the southern tropics. But as soon as he turned one year old, he suddenly disappeared?

yumma Anyway, I'm not worried about my parents here.”

“That… … where?”

“Where do you think you heard that?”

“… … Rerensen.”

The little boy heard her name.

That's the answer.

I grinned.

In order to estimate how many reincarnated people are still being born or exist, they are conducting an investigation by exchanging information with Rerensen.

As a result, I unexpectedly learned about the birthplace of this little boy in this life.

“I ran away almost immediately after I was born. It's been a while.”

As soon as he was born as a baby, he left his hometown and the environment in which he was born.

“I don’t think the environment was particularly bad when you were born, right?”

I heard that she is the daughter of the chief of the tribe there.

If you put your mind to it, you will be able to live while being supported in moderation.

Even so, he threw it away without hesitation.

That information at least gives us a sense of this little boy's disposition.

“Do you hate humans that much? Enough to stick with that idiot, Harial?”

As if the answer was correct, the little boy frowned.

While repeating their life as a reincarnated person, a large number of reincarnated persons fall into these symptoms.

disillusionment with man.

Life isn't just beautiful.

Especially in human life.

It's close to ugliness.

There are many more not-so-beautiful aspects.

This is true.

Any crime or war.

There are many reasons to harbor contempt.

Watching it over and over again usually reincarnated people, even the most optimistic ones, feel offended.

Furthermore, there are those who harbor disappointment in human beings themselves.

If you go to the extreme from there, ‘It would be nice if there were no humans!' And there will be people who talk nonsense.

Maybe Harial is a similar fruit.

However, in his case, it seems that he has developed into contempt rather than human hatred.

Maybe this kid is similar.

“… … well? something you don't know.”

It's obvious, but I'm going to take a look at it.

I have no intention of asking that far.

This kid's personal life doesn't matter.

I'm not interested.

“Why am I even bringing this up? No matter how much I think about it, I can't understand it.”

I took out a cushion, spread it on the floor, sat down and glared at the kid.

“Why bother to pull the leylines together and hit the ground?”

“… … What do you think it might be?”

“If I knew that, wouldn’t I say something like this to you right here?”

I want to use brainwashing or whatever to get information, but unfortunately it's difficult.

It works well for ordinary people or those who are still immature reincarnated people.

However, that kid probably has quite a bit of time, so he has a high level of mental resistance.

Even if it works, there is no possibility that it is correct information.

“… … Do you hate humans that much?”

“you… … Are you trying to make the humans here worse than dogs? Do you really think he's doing the right thing?”

“… … then?”

The little boy doesn't really deny it.

“I don't think it's bad for humans either.

At least… … It won't go wrong.”

“dog sound.”

I dismissed it as bullshit.

“Leave everything to the reincarnated person, take away all judgment and depend on them. Isn’t it wrong to leave development to them?”

huh.

The little boy admitted without hesitation.

“At least there will be no tragedy.”

“It's a tragedy... …

“I don’t even think he is a proper human being. I'm sure you're Arrel Ernesia as selfish as you are.”

“I have an eye. It won't be wrong.”

I can't deny either.

It's just that Harial went too far.

I'm just being conscientious to some extent.

If you look at it closely, I'm more of an outlier.

“Do you cooperate with him even though you know his true nature?”

“… … At least I see less disgust that way.”

“It is disgusting… …

After hearing what she said while grinding her teeth, I closed my eyes and thought about it.

It's because the meaning of the word is caught to some extent.

‘Is it a coincidence of interests due to disillusionment with humans?' Previously, she had frowned at the railway construction work in Ernesia Kingdom.

It's not that hard to guess what she's thinking based on her reaction.

“So it is. Don't you hate seeing human progress? Does your stomach hurt when you look at it?”

“… … I hope you don't talk to anyone like a jealous person.”

The little boy continued to speak, still glaring at me fearlessly.

“Arel Ernesia. Do you think this is desirable'?”

“hmm? what?”

I deliberately pretended not to know and just pretended to tilt my head.

“… … One day, you too will disappear from here.”

“Hmm, I guess.”

I am also a being with a body that has a lifespan.

I have no particular desire to go against it.

Certainly someday I will leave this place.

Even if it's not, seeing that old dragon leave makes me think a little.

“What do you think will happen to Ernesia Kingdom after that?”

“Do you think it will only develop while maintaining stability as it is now?”

“It can’t be.”

I have no intention of taking sides with only hopeful observations.

The reason why the present Ernesia kingdom does not exceed a certain level is because I am sitting on my butt.

It's not that I have a sense of justice.

I don't even want to do that

Still, he thinks he has to protect Dori, so he puts on the brakes at least.

But without it... … .

“One day, the kingdom of Ernesia will cross the line. Make war, crush the weak, and pave the way over them.”

“In uncontrolled human history, the strong runaway always trample the minority.”

I wouldn't be able to argue against it by just mentioning modern human history in other worlds.

Is that why that kid sees humans negatively?

I think I know roughly what's going on

.

“If it's his way, humanity won't be forever out of line.”

There's nothing wrong... … .

I guess so.

Because the idea is to entrust all development and decision-making to reincarnated people who reign over them.

On the contrary, I feel disgusted by it.

“Is there anything wrong?”

I don't want to provoke you, but ridicule leaks out.

“Who makes such a judgment?”

“Is there any guarantee that what you're doing isn't out of line?”

It looks like you're trying to pretend to be clean, but to do that, what you've done in the meantime has already fallen to an unacceptable level.

“Are you the only one who can proudly say that what you did while taming the monsters was the right thing to do?”

? ?????

“You just hate being human. yes?”

Even that little kid would know that.

And the other reincarnated people are probably aware of their own contradictions and get along well.

“What happened? I have no intention of locking you up here anyway and telling you who is right. Apparently, Hariel also abandoned you. It has no value as a hostage.”

Still not agitated

I have no intention of making any trivial threats.

I let go of the strength on my shoulders once.

“… … I want to ask you one thing. ‘What are you guys trying to do?' That's all.”

“I know. Just gather the continents.”

“Stop making excuses.”

I cut off what the little boy was saying.

who wants to know that?

“It doesn’t matter if you collect the continents or cut them out beautifully and do what you do.”

It's a sound that many scholars will be upset when they hear it, but really, it's a good thing.

“The problem comes next. What are you aiming for'?”

In the first place, I don't believe in the goals Hariel said.

A world where everyone is imprisoned and reliant on reincarnated people?

under? Would you really believe that?

“Why doesn't it just look like a gimmick to my eyes?”

But the little boy still seemed unwilling to speak.

Or maybe you really don't know.

done. What I want to know now is information, but this reaction is bound to be the answer.

“There is something. He's looking at something else.”

I let out a long sigh and got up from my seat.

“… … What am I going to do?”

“Stay there for a while and think about it.”

For now, I plan to keep this kid and keep an eye on him.

It's not wise to dispose of it prematurely.

“Nothing to change my mind.”

“Maybe. Then you're still stuck there.”

If you change your mind later, find me.

“Just think about it for a moment. I'll give you some snacks. what… … I'll give you cola with rice. Or, since I was bored recently, I tried putting mint flavor in Coke. Would you like that?”

“… … trash. Real human scum!”

The reaction that the kid has shown so far and rarely criticize me seriously in this part.

Well, even if I'm in the opposite position, I'd curse at this.

In particular, I think that mint is not for me.

what do you think

The sinner is over there, and this side is justice.

It's okay to serve sinners with rice wrapped in cola.

Villains have no human rights.

I laughed wickedly like a joke and withdrew.

‘I think it would be better for that little boy to come back later.'

It's still too early now.

Let's watch until then.

… … Still, the idea of giving cola with rice is half sincere.

This is just a small grump.

that… … Because Coke.

The preparations to reveal its splendid appearance to the world were also coming to an end.

It was already finished and I continued to enjoy Coke.

Still, shouldn't we put good things into the world?

so you'll make money

So, after the completion of Coke, I was instructing and managing the preparations to be released as a new product at Arnil.

However, at the same time as simply selling it as a new product to the merchant, I was thinking of a different way.
