The light flowing out of my body subsided. At the same time, I began to understand why I had not been able to find divine power or magic power.
How can you feel each drop of water when you are underwater? That was exactly how I was. At the same time, just thinking about it made my crazy power to search and collect everything around me start to weaken, and my thoughts that made me think of myself as a god, as if I had another brain, also fade away.
“···Mr. Sanyeom, can I see just one last thing?”
I felt a great sense of relief there, but a sudden thought occurred to me and I had to stop Mr. Sanyeom for a moment.
[Is there anything else you would like to ask for?]
“I want to see some of my childhood memories...”
Since it has the power to read other people’s memories, wouldn’t it be easy to look back on your own memories?
The memory of the day the village burned is still vivid, but since the human brain only remembers bad things, my memories of my childhood before that are already faint. Since I don’t have a picture of my parents, maybe this is a chance to re-image them.
[It’s not difficult.]
With that in mind, the spirit of thought lightly nodded at my request and returned some of the power he had been absorbing from me. Then, the divinity regained its function and instantly recreated the memory, and the pure white space had soon turned into my hometown that had not burned down.
[It is said that this is the memory where the feeling of joy was the strongest.]
After hearing Mr. Sanyeom’s explanation, I remembered.
It was definitely the day I first heard from my mother that magic existed. Before that, I had never felt any magic in my neighborhood, so I thought I was just dropped into a hardcore medieval world. I think I was five? It was probably not long after that day that I learned that monsters also existed.
[After seeing your memories, I understand your sincerity.]
I don’t know if it was because it was not a big deal to the gods or because it was a consideration for me, but Sanyeom-nim didn’t bother to ask me about my coming from another world.
[But not everyone who gets such an opportunity is faithful.]
He just mentioned it in passing. After that, Sanyeomnim remained silent until I could fully look back on my hometown and parents in my memories.
-Is it really that great that there is magic?
-Aren’t all kids like that? I was like that when I was little too.
– Really? Is that a characteristic of Western continental people?
After learning to read, I brought a boring history book, which would have been a surprise to other children, to the village chief’s house, and I read it, saying it was like a fantasy novel. I overheard my parents talking while I was in my room.
Did you have this conversation? I don’t think there will be any distortion in my memory, so it seems like it includes even the parts I didn’t recognize properly.
But... Western continent people?
-The Radan people don’t seem to be fascinated by magic?
Something begins to mix with the memories that should have been filled with only emotion and gentle sadness.
-Well... Rather than being strange, I resented it because it seemed like something like the priests’ sacred laws. I knew how much asceticism priests go through to gain divine power. Even if it was training, the power they gained through such torture-like asceticism was not something I particularly admired.
My father, who has eyes and a nose bridge similar to mine now, stroked his beard and answered my mother’s question.
Your father was from Ladan?
In other words, it is a warning to refrain from encountering the remnants of evil spirits.
“I guess I’ll have to look for something else to do for a while.”
“The rational reactions you show often surprise me.”
Did he think I wouldn’t follow your advice? Your eyes widened in surprise, but soon you smiled slightly and nodded.
“Perhaps that is the power that prevents a tragic ending. I have a favor to ask of you later, so please rest a little more and come to the library.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people’s gazes turned to Sanyeom-nim, who left the room without any regrets. When they slowly turned back to me, what was in them for some reason was a strong sense of distrust.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
When I, who was habitually nervous, rolled my eyes and asked a question, our eyes crossed for a moment and Asili opened her mouth.
“What are you talking about? In another direction?”
“Ah, that. This time, I almost became something like a half-god or something. If you don’t want that to happen, you should rest for a while without clashing with evil spirits. Now... It feels like a kind of habitual dislocation? So?”
I thought it was a perfect metaphor, but somehow the two people’s gazes became colder and this time Esmue asked back.
“So now... you will voluntarily avoid battle with the Demon King’s army...?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I feel sorry for the people who fight so hard, but... I’m human too, right? I should rest when it’s time to rest, right?”
The purpose of my trip was revenge, but if I suddenly ascend to heaven and live in that creepy feeling that is not me, it would be a complete waste. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll be lying in bed all day, but it would be enough to call it rest in relative terms.
“A kind of reorganization”
I thought this was an explanation that would be sympathetic enough, but the two people who heard my answer started glaring at me with their eyes wide open.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“Really? You’re not going to the front lines?”
“I told you it’s true?”
“How dangerous a situation was it just now that you voluntarily decided to refuse the fight?”
“···Huh?”
What is this?
I had a brief brain freeze, but I was able to quickly understand the situation.
“Do you both think that I am only now saving myself because my life was in dire danger?”
Hey, no way
There’s no way you’d think I was crazy for fighting like that···
“Isn’t that so?”
“Otherwise, there’s no way Eldi would say he’d rest when he’s come all the way to the Demon King.”
···It’s not like there isn’t one·
In the end, I had to explain for a long time that I made this choice because there was a threat other than the threat to my life.
