Volume 1 - Ch 79
Year 7442, Month 6, Day 4
I heard a scream like gya~ It was from inside the tent. I wonder if they're torturing him? Well, just make sure you don't kill him. Since as long as you don't kill him I can heal him and there's less trouble when we hand him over to the knight group.
..For a short while I sat on an appropriate rock and watched the fire. Just staring at the small fire and I can't but think, ah, it's pretty. And at the same time I also found it strange. Come to think of it that Dereonola is a reincarnated person. Since he was speaking in Japanese and when I identified him this afternoon I confirmed his Unique Ability "Highly Efficient Digestive System" so there's no mistake on that.
But, wait just a moment? Why did I think it was a good idea to hand him over to the knight group? If it's the normal me then I would have done something like Begulu and force him to pay me an amount he can't pay to overlook his crime and then make him forcefully into a slave, even if he's a sex offender, hes still a reincarnated person...No, I guess it's impossible since he was already a slave, wait, it's not impossible. If I had requested the payment from his owner? The owner would probably just give him to the knight group without paying I'm sure. No wait, he's a sex offender? If he made the stupid mistake of putting his hands on one of my subordinates and created discord then, in the first place I've always thought sex crimes were worse than other crimes since the past.. when was the past? before I reincarnated. Theft, intimidation, fraud, murder, there's a mountain of despicable crimes but if it's a crime other than a sex offense I've always thought there was room for pardon. Even though that's the case accept him? There's no way! That's right, that woman, the Bunny-man reincarnated person named Asuka since she was about to be raped by him. Did I try to hand him over to the knight group thinking about her? If I were to just think about her then you could say that even in the case of revenge murder isn't good, so that might be ri..right. But, if I think about in another way then I'm in a situation where I want as many reincarnated people as allies as possible. Did I discriminate against him because of his Unique Ability? Asuka's "Shooting Intuition" is extremely useful after all. Putting aside combat in the dungeon it's an ability that is considerably useful outside and especially when I make guns later.. though if I'm going to say that while it's useless in battle but even Dereonola's "Highly Efficient Digestive System" can't be made fun of. If it's a long-term concealment or scouting mission then being able to have less food on hand is directly related with significantly reducing the amount of luggage. In worst case you could last quite a while just eating some insects. Though it's true that "Shooting Intuition" is a useful ability in a different direction. It's not a problem of which is better. No, it's not a problem of the Unique Ability, his personality is the problem. Just thinking about eating meals together with a disgusting sex offender who has no sense of reason makes me feel like throwing..what was I thinking about again? Stop, what point is there in thinking about these kinds of things right now! If I don't think about them now then when will I! Calm down, even if there's something I don't know don't get emotional, there's nothing good that will come from it. Yeah, that's right, I should calm down and organize things. Just like usual. Now, I'm going to do it.
1. Dereonola is a reincarnated person. His Unique Ability is "Highly Efficient Digestive System".
2. Asuka is a reincarnated person. Her Unique Ability is "Shooting Intuition".
Both of them have useful Unique Abilities. Depending on the time and place they both have their advantages and disadvantages. That's why there's no problem at all that far. I want both of them as my allies, they're talents I want as my subordinates.
3. Dereonola is a despicable sex offender.
He was a slave. I don't know if he was already a slave or was made into a slave for some reason but it's probably unrelated to his sex crimes. I think there's room for pity in the fact that he's a slave on its own but I think that no matter what reason he had I can't accept the fact that he committed a sex crime just to satisfy his own desires. Ah, it could be thought of as a type of revenge, maybe? That doesn't matter for now. It doesn't seem it's that sort of reason this time after all.
4. Asuka is searching for Semayousuke. It's probably someone she knows that died together with her in the accident.
It's certain there's a reincarnated person named Semayousuke, or rather there's a pretty high probability they've reincarnated. I'm sure Asuka is searching because she's confident of it as well. In that case then if I can make Asuka into my ally then later on Semayousuke might automatically come along as well.
5. Derenola's history of sex crimes didn't start with Asuka. It seems he's done it several times.
Someone who's committed sex crimes a number of times is..no good I'm sure. His willpower is weak and it means he has no self-restraint as well. His MP was 7 but it's not a problem to think about just in terms of MP. I'm sure there's differences in individuals. If that wasn't the case then this would be a world where crimes don't occur. With no crimes or conflict, in terms of public order you could say it's a utopia but I'm sure that would just be dystopia. That's why crimes should have no relation to how much MP you have. It might be interesting to try analyzing it but I'll stop for now.
6. The reason Dereonola was in Baldukk.
Unknown. Was he born and raised here?
7. The reason Asuka was in Baldukk.
She most likely came searching for Semayousuke. Since it seems she was born the Kingdom of Devas. It must have been a coincidence she was found by Dereonola.
When I thought as far as that Asuka and Ralpha came out of the tent. I stopped thinking and offered the easy to sit on rock to them. Well then, let's start with introductions, I decided on you from the start, please take care of me from now I guess. Eh? Neruton Red Whale Group*, don't you know it?
"How did it go?"
When I tried asking that Ralpha responded.
"There's nothing to it. That guy is the worst."
Seeing that Ralpha, Asuka apologetically said,
"I didn't think it through enough. We'll talk about those sorts of things later. First let me properly offer you my gratitude."
