Episode 139
< … … Lately. >
“It was a long time ago.”
These guys' sense of time is incredible. When I corrected him, he hesitated for a moment, then corrected himself again.
< A long ago… … A human came >The story I heard after that might be similar to what I heard somewhere.
some humans came
At first, she felt unfamiliar with the humans who appeared on this land and did not show much interest.
Whether or not they live here is up to them.
However, it seemed that he stopped approaching it out of curiosity after seeing a human wandering around in the woods.
There, that person suddenly requested.
to live on this land.
“Did you listen to that request?”
It was unexpected. Usually these beings are not interested in beings like humans. Rather, it is often regarded as an annoyance.
< I don’t know… … I just watched. 〉Instead, the cold seemed to be hard on them, so it only weakened the weather in Fahilia. It's a so-called whim. Even if a dragon came and sat down on its own, the existence that did not budge an eye was only acting capriciously at the request of humans. <Because I am the first person to ask for a favor. >The humans did not forget the grace of this land. She is also consider as long as humans do not forget.
“… … It’s a contract of some sort.”
De facto contract with the land itself.
Even if you think of examples from other worlds, it is not that there are no cases at all. Well, it's pretty loose for that.
“I know roughly. After all, the weather in Fahilia suddenly turned cold… …
“Is it because humans forgot to thank you?”
With that, the promise is over. Rather, it must have been a miracle that it ended unharmed as there was no cost.
The question is, why did it suddenly come out now?
As I questioned him, he shook his head.
< … … The promise isn't over. >
“What?”
“The man said. to save themselves〉 Anyway, this guy seems to have heard his wish in a different way.
The sense of time is ambiguous to him.
In other words, even if it happened hundreds of years ago, it feels like a promise we made yesterday to him.
< … … I waited and watched for the time to save. >As promised for hundreds of years, observes the lives of humans.
they lived on this land.
Build a village, leave descendants, and pass on the generations. Settled completely.
Sometimes a bad harvest or a disaster is not a threat for her to intervene. It's just a simple principle of nature.
And a threat appears.
'And you appeared. >He stared at me.
“???? me?”
< huh. >
And I came.
“Human, but not human. >
“No, if I say that, I really look like a villain.”
Anyway, what is the cause?
〈And the same being keeps appearing… … Dangerous. >
“Ahang??????
You're probably referring to the reincarnated.
Apparently, in his eyes, I and the other co-workers might look a little grotesque.
Such people appeared and took a change of place.
Some stupid dragon who was hiding here was dragged away.
At one point, it was even invaded by them.
How would you have recognized it?
< As promised... … when to protect >What should I do if I judge it as a threat?
It will be simple.
isolation.
“So you did this? Is that coming now?”
< yes. Those who keep their promises... … I have a duty to protect you. 〉Reproducing the festival here must have been the root cause. Didn't people, including me, think that far? The problem is that the festival itself has become a kind of ritual to be protected by this guy. In short, when the festival started again, the humans here were recognized as contract targets. So, I immediately went into action. Accordingly, it interfered with those who participated in the festival. “… … hmm. “Did that happen?” No malice anyway. Rather, it is to protect humans. What's more, since the cause was the conduct of my business partners, I really have nothing to say. I'm sorry reincarnated! But that and this are different. 'Even if there is no malice, if you continue to act like this, it's annoying... … Above all, it is inconvenient. Rather, in this case, it is more convenient if the opponent is a villain. Because evil can only be eliminated. ha… … I sighed and decided to go into persuasion. “Listen first. Unlike them, I’m a good guy.” ‘A good monster? >
“… … First of all, you are human And I am the current lord of this land.”
<permanent residence? >
“It means a person who helps the people who live here to get along well.”
After thinking about it for a while, he nodded as if he understood.
“You don't have to protect the people here anymore. Everyone is doing well.”
'Is that so? but… … . >
“You mean that’s a promise?”
that's kind of annoying
Maybe it's hard to convince him if you don't do something about the promise itself that you shared with him in the past.
'… … I'd rather get rid of it.'
It is not that the impact that will occur after eliminating it cannot be calculated, nor that there is no way. But let's put that aside as a last resort.
“In short, all you have to do is show it.”
< … … ? >
He tilts his head as if he doesn't know what he's thinking.
I gesture as if to wait and prepare an appropriate spell.
'What are you trying to do? >
“It’s just a record play.”
<record? >
“… … record of this land.”
In short, if you prove it, you will understand and move on.
It is certain that the method will be shown directly.
“In mana that exists in nature, the record of that creature remains.”
A concept like spontaneous memory. And it is bound to be filtered through the land and accumulated in the leylines.
show it to the guy
people of this land. And if I prove that I was born and lived, it will be proven naturally.
“I’ll show you what I do.”
< … … . >
“Now, look at it to your heart’s content.”
After completing the ritual, I gave a proud chin gesture. I'm proud of myself because I have nothing to lose.
When the spell is activated, it flows along the leyline and naturally reads the records of this land.
When I put the fragments together, a round marble form in the middle of me and him.
“You can tell by looking at this.”
Even if you don't explain anything, you'll understand instinctively.
He naturally puts his hand into it without me having to teach him how to use it.
Then, naturally, records are output from within the sphere.
I also watched it quietly.
That record was before I came. It is regenerated from the old days.
A record of when humans first came to this land.
(This will be our hometown from now on.)
(Will it work? Settling in such a cold land…)
(The spirit will surely take care of us.)
Humans who dream of settling down with hope work.
And they root their lives here.
Even if it snows… … Even if the land is harsher than other places, if you build a house there, it will be a land of rest more than anyone else.
And time goes by.
Several things are flowing. Sometimes humans relax, sometimes tragedies happen.
The dragon that ate it flew in and hid here and fell asleep.
… … and.
A handsome young man with gray hair who looks familiar from somewhere appears with a promising future.
yes it is me
(I, Arell Ernesia, have been appointed as the new lord of this Pahilia.)
I feel somewhat embarrassed. And it's a little bit new.
As the new lord, I continue to breathe life into this frozen land.
Giving new jobs and hope to starving humans.
build a city
In a place where there was only cold ice water, the whole cloth is dug up to create a sanctuary where people can rest.
Of course, it's not just peace.
Sometimes the monsters are starving and rampage.
Sometimes, those who disapprove of us from the outside perform useless schemes.
But no one is anxious.
(Somehow it will work.)
(Not like cancer.)
We face it with hope and reach now.
The people who live here laugh.
That's the era now. This playground where I live. this is the land
< … … . >
“How is it? Do you really think you need your protection?”
You won't even hear the answer.
He, who seemed to be thinking about something, drooped his shoulders as if resigned.
< understanding… … I did it. >
“Oh? Really?”
< Yes, you can save me. >This record will convey even the will of all creatures here.
So there is no way you can't understand
“Are you the one who saves people? >
“No, I don’t know about that. “I am not interested.”
I immediately denied the guy's words.
“I just want to live happily, so I help them. “Is there anything else.”
That's what I do as a lord.
What will he think upon hearing that?
First of all, he seemed to admit that this place was peaceful.
< … … I'll free you. >
But somehow it sounds a little lonely. It may be that you regret it.
I thought I was doing my job, but I wondered if it was empty to say that it wasn't.
“Don’t be too sad. The reason why they are laughing like that now is because you allowed them this land and also protect it, right?”
It will only be 20 years after I appear that they will enjoy the present era.
It might be because of that guy's existence that humans endured for a long period of time before that.
So, she deserves to be fully appreciated.
“So I’ll speak for him.”
First of all, let's say respect.
“I’m sure they’ll appreciate you.”
By the time I finished saying that, he had already disappeared.
Instead, what was left was a mineral the size of my thumb.
When you pick it up and check it out, inside the transparent mineral, pure white color moves here and there like snow falling.
“Hmm, what a nuisance present?”
Or is it a response to what you showed me a moment ago?
Or is it a concept that acknowledges what I do?
Well, either way it doesn't matter.
I put it in my pocket and turned my back.
Since that day, it has been observed that the average temperature in Fahilia has risen slightly and the amount of snowfall has decreased.
Does it have anything to do with this job?
no one will know that
After being freed from the influence of mental interference, people naturally return to their daily lives.
We decided to come back right away and take care of the situation and rest.
“… … What a big deal. “What was the bird after all?”
Pena thinks it's strange.
“We will investigate later.”
“I think it won’t come out again since I got rid of it.”
“Oh, it’s not good to be careless.”
Everyone is excited about that story.
Because we are quite tired from the turmoil of the tide, the topic does not leave the whole time while resting together in our family-only hot spring bath.
“Does Arel know anything?”
“Okay, let’s come.”
In the corner of the bath, I slumped as if I had melted and pretended I didn't know.
“Really?”
“Doesn’t exist? doesn’t exist?.”
I didn't tell the truth.
Because there was no reason to announce it.
Just defeat the ice bird and the people will naturally be freed and return. I let it be recognized as such.
Is it a new monster? Or that it was a hallucination by some magician, there is a lot of talk about it, but it's best to leave it to speculation.
“How are you? Rather, let’s enjoy this peaceful time?”
The festival decided to continue as scheduled.
Rather, it seems that the ice bird case has gone viral, and there are reports that there are customers who come to see it.
It's something I can't help but laugh at.
It could be said that he unintentionally contributed to the success of the festival.
“There are quite a few places I haven't been able to visit because of the commotion. The residents of Etelphaina are also asking if they would like to think of an event unique to that island, so I will be busy from now on.”
My interest is only that.
After this festival is over, it's just about what event to do next. Hahaha!
“If you’re really all right, it’s a downer word.”
“I mean.”
Everyone just laughed as if they were used to it.
“By the way, what gift will you give to the person who made the biggest ball at the festival?”
hot.
I was shocked at Dia's question.
“Who has contributed the most to the present?”
I'm excited about Seina's question!
“Is that okay? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.”
forgot
I forgot about it for a while because of that damn god. Now I can't help but feel sorry.
“… … ah. Come to think of it, guests from other countries are coming tomorrow, right? “I must prepare.”
“Arell?”
“Wow, is that the sword you forgot?”
“Forgotten! “I will think about it from now on.”
When you've been fooling around there. It wasn't particularly intentional, but just in time, fireworks launched in celebration of the festival exploded in the far night sky.
As if they were gathering all their cares and bursting them into the sky.
A truly peaceful day.
Human life is short and not eternal.
But at least for these decades, let's enjoy this never-ending peace for a lifetime.
With the thought of enjoying a vacation for a while.
I'll buy it that way here.
after a long time People talk like they miss you.
It was the most peaceful and also the most intense period in history.
person who existed at that time. Arel Ernesia.
Either as a revolutionary or as a benevolent lord, what he accomplished, one of the most outstanding great men of posterity, is truly manifold.
Culture, politics and military force. In either way, he boldly raised the common sense of the world and contributed greatly to achieving the current era of peace.
The time he lived was the time when only one human being was born and grew up.
It would be impossible for a single human life to influence history.
Nevertheless, Arel's presence has been talked about by descendants over and over again, and they continue to praise his existence.
Adults tell their children his legend and teach him as an example, and the children listen to it with their eyes shining.
But there must be something that has never been passed down to the next generation.
What did Arel really live so great for?
Humans of the future would not be able to imagine that much.
I accomplished so many feats simply because I wanted to grow and relax.
Because it will not know except the person concerned and those who have lived their lives like him.
