Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne? Vol 1 Chapter 70

Year 7442, Month 5, Day 12

 

I saw Zenom jump awake at the edge of my sight after hearing Ralpha's words. What in the world is she thinking? I feel like I want hold my head but while ignoring me

Ralpha runs over to Zenom after waking him up. Ah, d.a.m.n it. I don't think they'll suddenly turn into enemies but...there's a worst case. I stand up while glaring at

Zenom as he gets halfway up and Ralpha as she runs to him.

 

Along the way, it seems that Ralpha flinched for a moment but she quickly ran up to him and called out to Zenom again.

 

"Zenom! I was able to use s.p.a.cial Understanding! I finally was able to use my Unique Ability!"

 

Huh.....?!? What's that? What is she doing telling him about it!?

I opened my mouth so wide I thought my jaw would dislocate.

While I'm dumbfounded hearing Ralpha's words I watch as she runs up to Zenom while calling happily out to him.

 

"Ah? Unique Ability? Eh? What? Oh~ I see!"

 

It seems that Zenom woke up right away and was confused for a moment but immediately replied delighted as well. Moreover he doesn't even question it.

 

Ah, come to think of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I see.. as expected I thought it was something like that. My Unique Ability is called Spatial Understanding. But I don't know how to use it. In the past, I tried

asking Zenom what a Unique Ability is but Zenom just said he didn't know and had never heard of it. I intended to ask G.o.d but I started asking from other stuff and

ran out of time.. in the end I couldn't ask. If it's okay with you, would you teach me the way to use Unique Abilities?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just ignored it a moment ago but hasn't she already consulted with Zenom about it! In other words...

 

It can't be, has she said everything about being reincarnated as well? If she has said something how much has she said I wonder? And, I wonder how much of that Zenom

believes?

 

Ah..I feel dizzy.

 

It seems that Zenom and Ralpha are happily talking about it.

 

Depending on how things go, it's not my intention but I might end up having to seal their mouths...Huh? Why? If I think about it a bit more it's not like

reincarnating is something bad. It's nothing I'd be charged with a crime over. If I end up serving under someone then there's a possibility I could be used for the

sake of my knowledge that doesn't exist on Orth but that shouldn't particularly be a bad thing as well.

 

While looking at Ralpha happily talk to Zenom, I decided that it wasn't something I need to deal with urgently while getting lost in my thoughts.

 

If the fact that "knowledge from reincarnated people is effective" is made public, I'm sure I would be forced to cooperate in ways I didn't intend to but what does

it matter? If I have "effective knowledge" then I shouldn't be treated badly, it only makes sense that I would receive considerably good treatment. Since if they

were to try and forcibly get the information out, without the cooperation of the person them self it's completely impossible, at the very least the side planning to

make use of me should offer favorable terms first.

 

 

Why did I hide the fact that I reincarnated from my
parents and siblings again? Ah, it was because I didn't want them to think of me as strange as much as possible.

Since I didn't want them to think of me as the child of a demon or the descent of a G.o.d or something...that's why I made it that my great-grandfather appeared in my

dreams. Since it was way~ in the past I completely forgot about it.

 

Since it seemed like Kuro and Mary were hiding the fact that they reincarnated from being j.a.panese so I had completely gotten into the mood. Ralpha was being careful

saying things like Bakuddo dialect when referring to j.a.panese at first after all, furthermore she waited until Zenom was asleep to talk, that's why it came to this

situation.

 

Why did I think that was unusual?

 

It's simple. It's because conveniently thought everyone had the same values as me. Since I wanted to make my own country, since I wanted to become the king of the

hill, it's because I wanted to avoid letting anyone conveniently use the knowledge I have. Since it was coming from a small child it's hard to have any faith in it

and rather because of the difference in power something that isn't pleasant could be done. Depending on the case you could be ostracized or killed for being too

abnormal and that's how I a.n.a.lyzed the situation when I was still a baby. I wanted to hide it at the very least until I had grown up a bit because I wanted to be

treated the same as other children. As a result it seems I was considered abnormally good of a child compared to other kids though that's thanks to keeping an eye on

the situation as I gradually thought I could go a bit further at a time. Eh? It's fine, since I think that way.

 

If you look at it in reverse you could take it that I doubted Hegard and Sharl's love as my parents when I was still an infant. Ah, I don't doubt it now. I have no

doubts about whether I was raised with my parent's love. My parents on Orth loved me just as much as my parents in my past life after all. If I said anything wrong

and hurt anyone then Hegard would have gone as far as. .h.i.tting me to make me revise it and Sharl would have slapped me as well. And I'm sure they would have lowered

their heads to the one I who's feelings I hurt. However, that's in the case that they think I need discipline. The border between discipline and things outside of

that is clear. If there was someone who I truly hated and can't give up on hating at all, no matter how good of a person that is I'm sure they would have cooperated

with me and killed them together or killed them in my place. I don't know what would happen if my opinion was at odds with Farne or Mill but if that's not the case

then I'm sure father and mother would have definitely been my ally unconditionally. I'm sure if it was a case of a conflict between us siblings then I feel that a

judgement would befall us within the limits of discipline.

 

If I remember correctly I started talking around the time I was one year old. I think it was around that time I said some occult stuff about my great-grandfather

visiting me in my dreams or something. After that, I asked about the farm work in the village and the mechanisms of n.o.bility but the first I actually started

suggesting things and started messing with rubber and stuff was...4-5, no, after I was 6 years old. Ah, no, if I remember correctly we started saving up money in

order to introduce large livestock for making farm work more efficient. Around that time my MP had increased considerably so even in the worst case if I were to be

ostracized I had enough confidence that I could somehow survive on my own, though it isn't the completely the reason. Of course it was around that time that I

started to think that sort of thing wouldn't happen even in the worst case and I started to think about how I could be useful to my family, and what I could do.

 

I was considerably luck as well. After all I was able to be born from those parents. If that wasn't the case then what would have happened? For example what would

have happened if I was born a serf like Kuro, there's no doubt I would have gone through quite a bit of trouble just like him. Since Marquis Webdos territory is a

considerably good land even in the Kingdom of Rombert, if it was as a serf in a different place then there's probably a high possibility I could have easily died from

an illness in my infancy.

 

In some ways, it's the same for the time when I was in Bakuddo but it's definitely not a bad thing being used by others and the opposite of that is the same. Rather

the me at that time was progressively trying to be used by others. It's only obvious to employ the work of someone based on their abilities and be employed yourself.

I think there's a lot of people would agree with my opinion. After all, if that wasn't the case then everyone who works in a business or management on earth would be

villains. Politicians and officials would be villains as well and below that the citizens who pay taxes in order to be guaranteed safety and social securities are

all villains in other words the Earth would be a plant of evil.

 

Everyone knows that's not the case. Even the people of Orth know it. Obviously the reincarnated j.a.panese know as well. Don't misunderstand. I don't want friends. Of

course, if there's someone who I'm able to create a friend-based relations.h.i.+p with then I wouldn't be against it. Just, the things that I'm trying to do have no

relation to making friends. It's plenty as long as I can create a relations.h.i.+p where I use and I'm used by others. Ah, of course I'm on the side of the relations.h.i.+p

doing the using. I guess I'll just correct it, rather than just saying only a relations.h.i.+p of using and being used.

 

I want to become the King of the country I create, it means I want retainers and subordinates. In other words the place that I'm aiming for I don't need the people

who support me to be my friends. If you're making a company then a president and the subordinates who become their arms and legs are necessary and it's better to have

subordinates and more subordinates under them right? It's fine if I declare that I'm going independent and claim a territory as my own all by myself but in that case

no one will come along with me and no country will recognize it as a country. It's only obvious that no matter how strong I become as an individual, I can't win

against an army of 100 all on my own.

 

In addition I'll say it but I don't want to make a democratic country. I want to make an autocratic state that's on the border of being a dictators.h.i.+p with me at the

top. What I'm aiming for is a Sengoku feudal lord who raises up in the world. I'm not aiming for a socialistic or communism doctrine that tries to release the

oppressed people from the n.o.ble and royal ranks. Society is perfectly fine just as it is now. I'm also not intending to unify the continent. If I could do it then I

would but those sorts of things I'll worry about after I make my own country. s.h.i.+ning example of a man*, I'm sure it's better to have big dreams but I understand

that in order to make them reality you have to take various steps.

 

If there's someone who wants to serve me and they are useful then I'll give them a warm welcome. If you come with me I'll make sure you're this well taken care of,

how about it? in other words that sort of thing. See, there's no particularly need to become friends with anyone right? It's fine as long as they're capable and

loyal subordinates. And, in that case then I guess there's no particular need to hide the fact that we're reincarnated right? Whether they believe it or not depends

on the other side after all. Well, I'm sure normally they wouldn't believe it. If they don't believe it then they could just ignore as a drunk story, in terms of

harm there's none other than being thought of as a liar. I'm sure other people who have reincarnated would definitely believe it though.

 

The problem is the demerits of having the fact that you're a reincarnated person exposed to someone who intends to use you. However, if they're trying to use us then

in other words that means they've recognized the value of reincarnated people. In other words what I can think of for the time being is that other than the fact that

we're a reincarnated person, what other ways we can be useful is difficult to expose. However, there's my case as well. In the case that someone who reincarnated in

this world is born in a social standing that is far above mine...

 

Putting aside the individual doctrines and personality of reincarnated people it's certain that we're above the people of Orth in terms of knowledge and abilities. We

even have Unique Abilities. Kuro has Charm, Mary has Resistance (Poison), Ralpha has s.p.a.cial Understanding.

 

Since Unique Abilities are powerful and my Identify and Gift of Natural Talent don't fall behind theirs and can be considered cheating with how excellent of abilities

they are. Depending on how you think about it, if I were to take on Kuro, Mary, or Ralpha as opponents it's even possible for me to fall to my knees. It's best if I

make as many reincarnated people into my allies or at least keep them neutral. I just need to avoid becoming enemies with them.

 

By the way, it's almost been about 30 seconds since Ralpha started noisily talking with Zenom.

I'm sure it's fine by now.

 

"Ralpha, I get that you're happy but what is it all of a sudden?"

 

I pause organizing my thoughts and call out to her as I approach. I understand that she was able to use her Unique Ability s.p.a.cial Understanding but I need to

pretend that I don't know that was her using it but I can also understand that she was able to do it by listening to their conversation so there's no point. I'll

change tracks.

 

"Zenom, Al taught me how to do it. The method to train with magic as well!"

 

Without paying any attention to me Ralpha continues talking to Zenom. I wonder if she couldn't hear me?

 

"And then, he says he's going to the dungeon ins Baldukk! After all it's just as I said. The people who have reincarnated that want to get stronger will aim for

there!"

 

What?

 

"Yeah..That seems to be the case. Ralpha, what are you going to do?"

 

"Isn't that only obvious! We'll go together! I mean since he can use magic that well then I'm sure we can even make it to at least the 2nd floor right!?"

 

Huh? Eh? What are the two of you talking about on your own?

It seems that Zenom noticed me after I approached within 5 m.

I'm sure he saw my idiotic face...

 

"Ralpha, I get what you want to say. But, did you tell the person them self before telling me...I'm sure you didn't ask right? Being impertinent is a bad habit of

yours."

 

Zenom says that chiding Ralpha.

 

Ralpha turns around. Hey, it's been a while.

 

"Hey, we're you listening!?"

 

She said that with a sparkling expression.

 

"..Yeah, for the most part."

 

I responded a bit disappointed.

 

"Then"Wait just a minute.""

 

Since it seemed like she was going to continue the conversation all on her I interrupted her. It's true it's going just liked I predicted where it feels like they'll

come along with me. Ralpha looks over here as if she wants to become allies.

 

"Let me confirm several things. It's important. Zenom, how much do you know?"

 

I looked at Zenom who was sitting halfway up while saying that.

 

"..How much do I know? About what?"

 

I guess as expected he wouldn't know with just this...

 

"About Ralpha's Unique Ability."

 

I wanted to ask about reincarnation and things like but there's the possibility that Ralpha hasn't revealed that much.

 

"Ah, I've heard from Ralpha. She was able to use it because you taught her. Thanks. With this that s.h.i.+koki or whatever"Eh?""

 

Just now, what did he say?

 

"No, won't she be able to use the s.h.i.+koki now?"

 

"Huh? Eh? s.h.i.+koki?"

 

I reflexively looked in Ralpha's direction.

 

"It's Airplane. Airplane. The one that flies through the sky."

 

"How far have you talked to Zenom about reincarnating?"

 

"..I've talked about everything that I know? Why?"

 

I guess that was the case after all.

 

"Then, why did you refer to j.a.panese as the dialect of Bakuddo and try to hide it?"

 

"After all, Zenom can't talk in j.a.panese~"

 

Since I said it in j.a.panese, Ralpha replied in j.a.panese as well.

 

"Next, in that case then why do you go to all the trouble of waiting for Zenom to sleep before talking? At first you were trying to get Zenom drunk right?"

 

"I didn't want to give Zenom false-expectations..Huh? Was something bad about it?"

 

It seems she finally realized it. If it's the father that raised her for 14 years without expecting anything from her then it's not particular bad though. The

problem is anyone else.

 

"No, it's already fine. Zenom, you know that Ralpha was reborn from another world right?"

 

"Yeah, I've heard from Ralpha. Since Ralpha talked to me about a variety of things. You are as well right?"

 

It seems that Zenom noticed what I was trying to say from the start of the conversation. His expression changed.

 

"It can't be helped denying it at this point. That's right. I was born and raised in the same country as Ralpha and a person that was reborn in this world."

 

I continue saying.

 

"And, just to confirm but the ones that believe that Ralpha was reincarnated, no is there anyone else than you who knows that she's saying that?"

 

 

There was a moment of silence. Is he trying to remember?

 

"There's none. I told Ralpha not to carelessly talk about it. In the past, there was one person that Ralpha talked about it with when she was still little but after

that before they met anyone I killed them.."

 

It seems I made him say something he didn't want to say. After hearing the conversation just now Ralpha is holding her mouth.

 

"I see, sorry about that. I'm sure you didn't want to say that in front of Ralpha..that was my bad."

 

"It's fine. And while I said that she's not supposed to talk about but as an exception she can progressively talk about it with other people in the same position as

her. Since I've been dragging this child all over the place since she was young she has no friends. She was always afraid, according to what Ralpha says that it's

something that everyone who reincarnated would feel and they shouldn't have all that different of a way of thinking about it..and that there shouldn't be any problem

with talking about it with people from the same country and.. so that's what you meant, I guess I was a bit too easy on my own daughter."

 

It seems that Zenom comprehended it.

 

"Yeah, that's right. I think that the most dangerous ones are those who reincarnated like us."

 

I face Ralpha and say it once again.

 

"Ralpha, it would have been dangerous if I had been trying to use the knowledge you possess. Well, I can't say much myself as well. Since I lightly told you the

method to use your Unique Ability after all. However, since I've talked about it this far..you two should prepare yourselves."

 

I looked at the two of them with a serious expression. While the two of them were overawed by me, they started to be more cautious. I guess that aspect is the

veteran adventurer part behind Ralpha's carefree behavior.

 

"I don't intend on fighting. I'll promise you that. At the very least I don't intend on fighting right here and now. It's repeating things but I'll promise you on

that. First, I want you to listen what I'm about to talk about. I saw where Ralpha and Zenom were fighting against the orks during the day. It should be difficult

for you to take me on without a weapon right? That's why even if you listen to what I'm about to say it won't change your situation. I can use magic but your

weapons are over there. I don't mind it if you take it as me threatening you. In any case, I want you to calm down first and listen to my story."

 

Every time I say something Zenom who's still only sitting halfway up and Ralpha on his side flinch in reaction. I watch that while saying.

 

"..For the time being I don't intend to become enemies with you two. If I had those sort of intentions I wouldn't have given Ralpha advice on how to use her Unique

Ability. And I wouldn't have taught her the method to train with magic as well. Though it's not definite that you'll learn magic with that method of training. At the

very least I've given Ralpha knowledge. Think about that."

 

 

"It seems that Zenom has already realized but since it doesn't seem like Ralpha has completely notice yet I'll explain it. Ralpha, think about it for a bit. Would

your knowledge be useful in this world?"

 

"..I think it's useful."

 

She still hasn't completely grasped the situation, shes just gotten tense over reacting to my words "prepare yourself" and different from Zenom her att.i.tude has

softened quite a bit.

 

"I guess so. That mustard mayonnaise that you let me eat for lunch and dinner was delicious. I'm not familiar with seasonings and I didn't think of making it myself

so I didn't do anything but I think that taste is plenty to make into a business. However, it's not a conversation of that level. Ralpha, think properly. Is the

knowledge that you that could be useful in this world only limited to that?"

 

"..Eh? After all I'm an idiot, I went to "Hatsu school" after all.."

 

"Hey now, it's not related to what "school" you went to... For example what about farming? No matter how you put if you've made it to "high school" then even if it's

not precise you should have a reasonable amount of knowledge right? It's not a question of if you have that sort of knowledge or not. Do you get that the problem is

whether or not other people think you have it?"

 

I asked her seriously. Since the words "school", "high school", and "Hatsudai school" aren't in this world I used j.a.panese for just those parts though.

 

"Think carefully about it. You should know various things that aren't know on Orth. How did you get your hands on mustard? You found a mustard plant right? I never

even thought of something like that so I didn't even try searching for a mustard plant. If it's just at the left of mustard then it's fine. But, depending on the

case you understand that it can be dangerous right?"

 

"..Ah..I see..I guess."

 

Did she understand? I continue again.

 

"That conversation about the airplane just before is a good example. You get it right?"

 

"Yeah, I understand."

 

"Alright listen, Zenom listen closely as well. The two of you were in an extremely dangerous situation. First understand that. Up until now was fine. You had good

luck. No one has put their eyes on you yet after all. Up until now you've done quite a few jobs as adventurers right? Just think you had good luck not running into

anyone like me while wandering around all over the place."

 

According to the information I just heard it seems that you can't so easily run into other reincarnated people so I feel it's far beyond the level of just good luck

but, well it's fine.

 

"Zenom, it seems that you've somewhat realized so I think you know but the knowledge that Ralpha and I possess is considerably ahead of Orth. Putting it frankly

there's a lot of extremely dangerous things as well. Just now you said that we were reborn right. Did you hear the reason?"

 

"Yeah, I heard that a lot people died in an accident and the ones who died were al reborn.."

 

"That's right, and then?"

 

"..The accident was caused by something like large carriages colliding. You guys got dragged into the conflict between G.o.ds..and all the people who were reborn start

over as babies. Retaining their memories. Each person has a different Unique Ability and they can get stronger more easily than people normally born in this world..I

think was it? I didn't really want to say it but it's true that Ralpha talks about things that I don't know about or things that I can't even imagine, even the time

when she started talking was considerably early. For her age I think she's excellent in a variety of ways. From my standpoint I can't help but believe it, were my

feelings."

 

"..I see."

 

"According to what Ralpha said in the country she lived in the past there were no monsters and magic but a lot of people lives happily and she said it was unrelated

to conflict. I couldn't believe it but since Ralpha knew far too much about various things. There's an expression of lying as if you saw it yourself but I quickly

realized it wasn't something like that. If I talked about the same sort of things and she would reply with the exact same thing precisely. She was even able to do

calculations from the time she was born. She said she was born in that sort of world. And she also said people in that world fundamentally don't fight and should

dislike it. That everyone should be people like Ralpha..that's why, I couldn't help but get a bit too soft as well."

 

"Sorry, please understand that I'm not criticizing you. I just wanted to confirm."

 

I apologized to Zenom from my true feelings. I really don't have any intention of criticizing him at all. Rather, it's strange but I actually feel grateful to him

for raising Ralpha, since we're from the same country, this well even though he's not her parent or anything.

 

"Let's organize things a bit. I call the people like us that were reborn On Orth reincarnated people. And reincarnated people possess a variety of knowledge that

the people of Orth still don't know. Also, our growth is fast. This doesn't mean we become adults sooner. It means that our stamina and strength grow faster, would

be a better way of putting it. In other words it's easier for us to get stronger as individuals. Also, we have a magic like power called a Unique Ability. Ralpha's

s.p.a.cial Understanding and my Magic Ability. Up until here you could say we've already surpa.s.sed the average person."

 

"Eh? Wasn't it Magic Acquisition..."

 

Ralpha retorted me on it. Ah, that was close~

 

"Yeah, rather than Acquisition I thought that it would be easier for Zenom to understand if I said Ability."

 

A cold sweat is dripping in my heart. In any case it's critical to casually let it pa.s.s.

 

"Hn, I guess that's true."

 

Ha....Thank G.o.d.

 

"And then. Next is the demerits of reincarnating. For starters the first one. Since your memories are remaining you can't help but feel differently than the people

of Orth. There's a system of social rankings on Orth. They're split up between n.o.ble, commoner, and slave rankings and each of them have different things that

they're allowed and not allowed. In the place that we reincarnated people were originally born it was like that in the past but that sort of stuff has long since

been abolished and we've all become commoners. Since I'm sure Zenom has heard about stuff like that already but, well just think of it as a review. That's why I

think there's a trend for reincarnated people to be displeased by the social ranking system itself."

 

The two of them are listening attentively. It seems that their tension has softened quite a bit.

 

"Frankly this is dangerous. Just because you expressed your displeasure it's not like you would suddenly be punished for it but if that reincarnated person was of

the slave ranking then their owner would find it very amusing I'm sure. If they had already been heard saying clever things until then and even more so if they had

said things that were helpful. If someone like that were to try saying "It's strange that I'm a slave." There's no way it would be amusing. I doubt it's something

would suddenly be killed right away for but depending on the situation they could have various things added and go to the point where they feel death would be better

than their situation."

 

Did I surprise them a bit too much? But, I need to say at least this much.

 

"Next is in relation to killing. Since you've probably heard various things from Ralpha already I don't think there's a problem but reincarnated people have no

experience of catching their own food from the start all on their own. The reason for this is the place and period we reincarnated from I'm sure. It's true that the

reincarnated people's country..j.a.pan, even in j.a.pan there were hunters and agriculture was done as well. But, I doubt there's any reincarnated people with those sort

of experiences. Even if there was it would be at most 1 or 2 people and that's just because they were born of a farming family. In the past, they probably just

helped out with their father's occupation a bit I'm sure. In regards to hunters I can a.s.sert it. There's no way. Of course, as a possibility I'm sure it's not zero

but I think it's at a level we can ignore. Ralpha, what do you think about this? Let me hear your opinion."

 

"I guess so..I think so as well. In the first place there shouldn't have been any people that lived as hunters right?"

 

"I'm sure it's not as if there weren't any at all but going off that time and that place then it's difficult to imagine there were any. That's why it's difficult to

think that there were any people who had experience killing something. Of course, it might not be so strange for something small like bugs, or a dog or cat. If it's

at the level of a chicken then it's also possible. But it's just at that level. I doubt there's anyone that's killed a larger animal than a pig. Obviously it's the

same for a human or a living create with limbs like a human as well. It wouldn't be strange for someone with experience in committing murder but considering the

population of that town then I think it's at a level that you can ignore it as well. In j.a.pan the killing of large animals is almost always done by humans who

specialize in that in certain facilities. And murder is harshly judged. In other words, reincarnated people aren't used to using their bodies to fight things and

fundamentally have feelings of aversion to killing anything."

 

The two of them are quietly listening.

 

"That's why even if they possess the qualities to become stronger they aren't making use of that or it can be thought that they're preventing themselves from making

use of it. Ah, I don't intended to say Ralpha is different. Rather, I think you're pretty amazing. Probably, if all of the reincarnated gathered here and fought, I

think you would come out pretty high in the rankings? I think it's okay for you to be proud that you've trained yourself that much. Since even in j.a.pan there are

techniques that have been pa.s.sed down for using your body to fight so I think there's plenty of people who can damage their opponent but I wonder about people who

can go as far as taking life? I don't think even half would be able to let alone finis.h.i.+ng off a weakened opponent who's begging for their life I don't think there's

very many. It's weird putting it this way but if you've been an adventurer for that long then you must have taken on people as opponents as well right?"

 

The atmosphere of the two suddenly changed.

 

"Of course I have. I've even killed."

 

Ralpha said that.

 

"Yeah, I'm sure that's the case. I've killed people as well. But, could you accept it as something that couldn't be helped? Or do you still regret it?"

 

"I guess so. I don't regret it. It couldn't be helped."

 

"Yeah. However, what about the first time you did it? I got a bit sad after I killed someone. Even if I understand the logic but it was more like my feelings weren't

able to accept it..I can't go back any longer or that sort of weird feeling. I've already accepted it so I'm fine now though."

 

"It was the same for me as well. I think it was close. I thought that the first time I killed a goblin. I couldn't see it as anything other than a person."

 

Ah, that's right. I thought goblins were people at first as well. I thought they were like barbarians or primeval people. That's why I unconditionally thought Farne

was cool when he protected me from a goblin for the first time. He protected Mill and I with risking his body and even going to the point of sinning is what I

thought. It's not like goblins are people though, oh, though that feeling hasn't changed at all even after understanding that they aren't thought to be people. I

know that goblins are people as well. They come up using Identify as Small Ogre People race after all. They probably show up like that under Status Open as well.

It's the same as Elf, dwarf, and human race. Since I looked up to that Farne I was able to kill the man spy in order to protect Myun as well. I think that Farne's

appearance at that time was probably the origin for my life on Orth.

 

I got lost in my thoughts a bit there.

 

"Yeah. That's right. That's why I think reincarnated people will largely be split into two groups. The first is people who continue to maintain their values to some

extent from their life before reincarnating. They'll probably try to live separating themselves from conflict. It might be fine to think that this group won't

fundamentally cause any major problem. The other group is people who accept it like Ralpha and I. If they become adventurers like us then it's fine. I'm sure they'll

have become reasonably strong. However, depending on their situation after reincarnated they may not be able to become adventurers, I don't know how people like that

would be able to find chances to fight. Depending on the situation they might have even been born as high rank n.o.bles close to lords. The problem is people like

that. They should probably realize that their knowledge is far above the people of Orth shortly after being born. And by thinking that they themselves have no need

to fight depending on the case it's possible things could become bad. They're born with a lot of subordinates and even have authority after all. And they know that

reincarnated people are useful as well. If they were to inherit the family and become able to do whatever they want, the first thing they would do is.."

 

Their eyes suddenly widened.

 

"Hunting reincarnated people, huh?"

 

Zenom sighs while saying it.

 

"Yeah, that's right. For example think about if they were born as the son or daughter of the King of Rombert. Since they don't know the words at first and they don't

know the situation I'm sure they would be patient. But, a.s.suming they were originally a baby then they should have been a reasonable age already. In addition to that

they'll learn the words quickly thanks to the soft brain of a child. Up until here you understand just from Ralpha right? And, just imagine if that person realized

they were born in an extremely high cla.s.s family. Simultaneously they also realize that their knowledge is far beyond that of Orth. They'll gradually come to

understand things about Orth. There's wars almost every year and even monsters. There's magic as well. There's a system of social rankings being maintained and they

hold immense authority over that close to the top. They'll gradually understand things like that. And, at some point, just like us they'll meet G.o.d. They'll be

taught that there are other reincarnated people like them and they all have a Unique Ability. Ralpha. Up until here what would you do if you were born as a princess

of Rombert?"

 

It seems that Ralpha is still shocked by Zenom's words from just now but opened her mouth.

 

"If it was me then..Yeah, I think I might start with reforming the kingdom. Use a lot of people and remake the town, depending on the circ.u.mstances prohibit

slaves.."

 

"Do you really think so?"

 

I stare at Ralpha's eyes while saying it.

 

"Eh? Yeah. I think I would probably do something like that. I think I would try to make it into a country which can live without war. Wouldn't try to do things

helpful for that sake?"

 

"..Well it's fine. What about after that?"

 

"Eh? After that? But I think there would be a lot of things to do so...wouldn't I need to keep doing that forever?"

 

Since it seems she was a high school student in her past life. After that she's been an adventurer since childhood so I guess she's never thought about things like

this.

 

"Alright, I'll digress a bit but it's fine. You understand that there's no way they would listen your words as a baby right? That's why it should take an age of at

least 5 or 6 years old I'm sure. Once they reach that age they might have an attendant as well. Ralpha would make a plan until around that age. And, one day, you

start saying organizing town blocks or water supply. Let's saying you successfully manage to convince them. You're a princess after all. As long as you don't say

anything too unreasonable I'm sure they would do it for you. I'm sure you would start making requests starting from small things as well. And that goes well. The

next one went reasonably well too. Starting from the King your a.s.sessment is high for everyone. Since you've done it several times you think it's about a good time

so you try saying we should prohibit slavery. What would the people around you think?"

 

"Wouldn't they agree with me? I would have gotten results up until then after all."

 

"I wonder about that? Slaves are an a.s.set. Do you think n.o.bles would obey the demand to release them with no compensation? Well, it's fine if you were to stat from

just the royalty as well. Since even the royalty possess a lot of slaves. Let's a.s.sume the royalty releases their slaves. There's a lot of servant slaves and combat

slaves in the army. You've suddenly made them into Free People. You say you'll give them wages and tell them to pay taxes. Up until now it was fine if you just

looked after their daily necessities. What would happen?"

 

Ralpha opened here eyes wide.

 

"Ah, I think it would cost money."

 

"That's right, would that money naturally appear from nowhere? There's no way that's the case right? In that case then while it would be a bit of an inconvenience you would

reduce the number of people you employ I'm sure. Then what would happen to the ex-slaves that fell through? Would you use them as construction laborers? What if it

was women that fell through? If it was the elderly? No one might hire them. In that case I'm sure the ex-slaves would think of selling themselves as slaves since they

can't make a living."

 

"..Yeah."

 

Ralpha faced down.

 

"See, if you think about it a bit you can quickly understand. There's no easy way to do something about a system of social rankings. Just now was too extreme though.

But it shouldn't be all that mistaken for a large current. And next. Just like through your various reforms the Kingdom of Rombert has become wealthy. It's gotten to

the point where it doesn't even need it so it can just give something like the Dirt Plains to Devas. The need for war has disappeared. Happily ever after. Do you

think that will be the case? Would the Kingdom of Devas be satisfied with just the Dirt Plains?"

 

"I don't think, it would."

 

"Yeah, I'm sure that's the case. After making some base villages in the Dirt Plains I'm sure they would start making pa.s.ses on the Kingdom of Rombert that's gotten

so wealthy. Even Devas wants to become wealthy."

 

Ralpha raises her head.

 

"I understand. I would probably do some amount of reforms but in order to prevent being invaded some amount of protection is necessary. It's necessary to make the

army bigger as well. Otherwise making some sort of weapon that can you can use to protect even with a small number of people."

 

"Well I'm sure that'd be about it. But can you do all of that yourself?"

 

"It's impossible. I would need people I can trust..I might gather reincarnated people together. Since I know they have knowledge and their Unique Abilities might be

useful as well. Yeah, I understand what Al was trying to say. If it comes to that then I'm sure they'll probably try to offer employment with good conditions at

first but they might quickly start gathering right and left without a care. And they might even try to force them to work."

 

Well I guess I'll say it's the correct answer. Though she's skipped over a considerable amount but it seems she's understood the flow it. Since I lead her into

arriving at this sort of conclusion after all.

 

"That's the case. Were you able to understand what I was worrying about?"

 

The two of them nod in agreement.

 

"Alright, then let's return to the discussion. Since we've concluded the concerns let's move on to the next topic. About how much do the two of you earn in one

year?"

 

"Huh? Eh? Why?"

 

Ralpha says that. Zenom is confused as well.

 

"It's fine, you two might not be the average for adventurers but I'm interested. Would you tell me?"

 

"Nn..About 4,000,000 Z between the two of us I think. We pay the 10% tax from there so it's probably a bit less though."

 

Zenom responded to me. It's quite a bit more than I imagined.

I say while smiling.

 

"I see, I understand now. Then, I'll pay 400,000 Z per month. In one year it's 4,800,000 Z. Just like Ralpha just said I'll start off by offering good conditions.

I'll throw in bonuses in addition depending on work done in special cases. Ah, for starters we'll try going to the dungeon Baldukk."

 

The two of them exchanged glances.
