I Was Reincarnated Chapter 65

After the knight was let into Veiden, the surroundings began to get strained

Perhaps in reaction to an adult human male being let in

Though, for the four who know that guy it's probably for a different reason

Especially Rune

"…….why? Despite you saying he was annoying….. That knight, despite him proposing to Shin!!"

He complained to me with an expression that looked like he would cry

"That guy's wearing magic restraints and the sword he carried has been confiscated. Currently that guy has no power"

Even though the other three were quite understanding with that explanation

"Is it really that unpalatable? Letting that guy into the country. Or is it, jealousy? My wife is only Rune"

I don't have any intention of polygamy

Though I might eat a bit on the side in the future

That doesn't mean that I've decided that the knight would be that [future] partner though

"Master, why did you bring along that man?"

This time it's Dea questioning

With my explanation that he's not dangerous and their understanding, they want to know the reason for bringing him

"Since I thought it was interesting. Since he is the guy in the most despair in the world"

The three's expressions cramped

Perhaps Rau didn't understand the meaning, she looked on blankly

"…….and that, is the reason you brought him?"

"Aah, even though he's such a patriot annoying to that degree, he's now the one most in despair over the world and humans. And so, isn't it interesting, he even said he didn't need the long awaited and desired magic stones, you know? Even though he's one of the humans going to war, scrambling over the rights to receiving the magic stones"

Despite him being one of the foolish humans who are fighting over such a thing, dying, and weakening the country

Moreover, despite him being in the governor position, the number two of Gudoudotelia just below the king, a distinguished guy

"Nevertheless, why that knight….."

Is seems he seriously doesn't like that that knight was let in

Even opposing it up to here

"……..about something I did, got any complaints?"

Selfish?

I'm self aware of at least that much

Since this is how I am, this personality of mine is probably beyond saving

The three turn pale

Shaking their heads in a panic, they probably think they made me angry

Even though it's just that its troublesome to quarrel over the same thing over and over again

"If you can't stand it then you all get rid of him. He has on magic restraints and his sword's been confiscated so it should probably be easy to kill him, right?"

Continuing to ignore the three with cramped expression, I left for a stroll

Although I feel like I've found a new toy, if everyone can't stand it I'm also okay with giving in [to their demands to get rid of him]

I can just find another toy

—Rune side—

Shin let that knight live in Veiden

Gudoudotelia's governor

Since he scolded me for calling out his name [way back] since then I've called him knight

Although there seems to be a lot of knights, as expected the beastman me can't just call him as 'trash' [like Shin said to]

Even though I've now become Shin's wife

However, I am discontent about him being let into this country

That knight appeared in front of us many times and caused us fear

Although that knight hasn't himself attacked us, but just by being a knight he's an object of fear

Besides, he's proposed to Shin

To have such a person near, isn't it obvious I would be jealous

So how should I say, I complained to Shin, we put forth an objection

Both Dea and Rona seemed to not feel good [about it] as well, and Rau was also scared of that knight

Shin said that since he had on magic restraints and his sword was confiscated he wasn't dangerous, but I wanted him to know that he's someone whose very existence can make others scared

For a human male, the three races [feel] only fear

Moreover, among humans he's considered an extremely strong knight, furthermore he was the governor that was in charge of the knights

(……..about something I did, got any complaints?)

After complaining several times, he told us those words while resting his chin on his hand and I could feel my blood quickly draining

(Did we make him mad?)

I shake my head in a panic

Dea and Rona do the same—

"If you can't stand it then you all get rid of him. He has on magic restraints and his sword's been confiscated so it should probably be easy to kill him, right?"

When he says that, Shin takes his eyes off us and teleports away

No matter how much I'm told I've become strong, fighting a human opponent is hard

Moreover, the opponent is the knight with his magic sealed and his sword confiscated

To kill such an opponent with all their means of attacking taken away, I can't do it

It's probably the same for Dea and Rona too

We just exchange looks

We didn't want to go so far as to kill him

'A Rune whose familiar with fighting is unnecessary'

I recall Shin's words

I don't want to be told I'm unnecessary

I don't want to be thought of as unneeded

I've already come to be completely dependent on Shin

For me if Shin's not there, I couldn't live

I don't want to be hated by Shin

My heart's become weak

Shin said I only have to rely on him

He said I don't need to fight

Before I noticed, I've become someone who can only be protected

Although there was also a time when I thought that such a self was unpleasant, but Shin said such a me was good

I've come to completely believe [only] those words, when Shin is up without letting me work I can only stay near him

The me, who doesn't particularly serve any purpose

Even if I think that I want to work, Shin can sharply sense it and embraces me

To the point I can't put any strength into my legs he embraces me over and over, even if I faint it doesn't end, the feeling of him thrusting inside recalls my awareness and we do it again

Even if nothing comes out, even if I dry [o.r.g.a.s.m], even if I complain it hurts it doesn't end

The little work I can do is only when Shin falls asleep

Such a me, it's easy to guess what would happen to me if I were to be driven out of this country

However, since that knight even proposed to Shin, he should like Shin

If possible I don't want him to be let in

Even if I've become his beloved, I am still apprehensive at other people's presence

Since I have no guarantee that he will always like me

However, at this point in time I don't want to be hated

As expected, actually killing him would be too much, I can only accept it

(Where did he go?)

Even after some time had pa.s.sed he still didn't return

As the war became more violent, he no longer took me out to other countries

Dea has gone out several times together with Shin

It seems corpses were strewn all over and the sound of the injured groaning could be heard here and there

It seems Shin made something called a tomb and had a burial

As there were a considerable number of corpses, he told me it was best not to see it

It seems Dea is learning about what is occurring in this world [for teaching later], but he occasionally returns with a pale face

It seems there are the splatter/gore types of corpses that I really hate

When Shin does go out on his own, lately it's mostly for a stroll

He's no longer going out to buy slaves at the slave shop it seems and he's bringing back people in despair [instead]

That knight is also one among them

According to Shin, he's only choosing people who, regardless of the outcome of the war and whatever about the magic stones, all they desire is only peace

The surroundings are scared and avoiding the knight, saying nothing

It seems he still came knowing he would receive such treatment

Perhaps since he only just arrived, he's not particularly doing anything

Compared to before when we saw him in town, he's lost weight

Shin said he's the guy in the most despair

Is the war really such a cruel [trauma inducing] thing I wonder?

I've never experienced it and since Shin won't show it to me, I can't even imagine what sort of thing it is

It seems it's a war over the export of the magic stones Shin makes though

There are times when my whole body is covered in them

Especially the times when Shin is up and I'm near him

The considerably large stone on the diadem or the one on my necklace, there's even a magic stone that has weight reduction it seems

That is the white magic stone, when there are a lot of magic stones attached it's added

It seems there are various [effects] according colors, but I don't really understand it well

Even the value, probably rises by how much power they give

Since I was told I could win against that knight, it probably raises [my strength] quite a bit though

Since I've never seen how strong that knight is, I don't understand that much

For things like humans, I'd never even seen them before Shin took me to town

For me it [magic stones] have become a mundane everyday thing, but for humans it seems that's not the case

The magic stones are high priced, compared to the white-ish gem on my necklace the value is more expensive, it seems it can't even be compared

I thought this gem was also expensive, but for it to be even more…….

Exceeding my imagination, I can't even imagine it

Even though gems are such expensive goods, a single one seems to be worth three gold coins

After a while, Shin returned

In his arms was a human female

About the same [age] as Alba I guess?

She's crying her eyes out

"Shin, that child is?"

"Since women and children are unwanted during war, she was being sold as a slave and I took her"

I have things to ask Shin

Even though she was a human, she was apparently a female s.e.x slave

So she was making a crying expression

Even though she's still just a child…….

"Alba"

"……demon G.o.d-sama!?"

Explaining to the child, was apparently entrusted to Alba

For the child a similar fellow child is better, since they would not be wary of them

Although Alba is a child, he's quite reliable

"This is Sui who is new to here and will live [here from now on], teach her various things [about living here]"

"Yes, I'm Alba, I'll tell you about this country"

He walked off with the child called Sui

Even though he even gives Alba work, I have nothing

However, if I have something [to work on] Shin gets irritated so he says to stop

(Is Shin not angry anymore?)

Even when he's talking to me he seems normal

He's not cold

When Shin gets angry the atmosphere suddenly goes cold

"Did you not kill the knight?"

When I'm asked, I nod

"I see. However, it seems there's nothing that that guy can do, he has no work"

Even though he's a human who was the governor and knight, other than that it seems there's nothing he can do

He seems to excel in sword and magic, but to not even be able to do field work……

"He can't even teach at the school, since those kids are scared…… he has no work. Perhaps I should leave some agony in his care"

Agony, are the beasts that knights ride

As a transport they are fast, when you want to move swiftly it seems they are much more convenient than ideo

Since lately we haven't been using the carriage, the ideo haven't had a turn [to work] either

Although they are beasts that also excel at moving heavy luggage, in this country it's just done through Shin's magic

I don't know about any job taking care of agony, it seems there's a trick to riding them and it seems the only one in Veiden who knows it would be that knight

That guy is not a knight for this country

However I'm already used to calling him like that, Shin also calls him 'knight'

It seems the knight's job is decided just like that

Although there aren't many that ride an agony, it seems they are convenient when you can't use magic

Since they're being taught the trick [to riding an agony] only the adults who want to know [will be taught]

Since children are scared of the knight, it seems he won't be going to school to teach

Rune side end
