Vol 1 Chapter 6 (2/2)
「Hi ii i, What kind of monster is this！」
「Isn’t it impossible to win.」
「Run Away, get away and attack with the bow. If you surround it with shots the monster will not be able to dodge！」
I secretly said the correct answer.
Certainly a siege from all directions would not be avoidable.
The soldiers in the lookout, who a little while ago refrained from shooting in fear of hitting their allies, uniformly pulled out the bows.
The thing about being able to dodge it, though some are cut off by the sword, still some of the rain of arrows pierce me.
Unfortunately one of the arrows. .h.i.t the eye.
The eyes are one of the vital points that a human cannot reforge.
「Did we do it！」
Someone from where the enemy soldiers were located in front of me said such a thing.
I floated a smile and jumped.
「No we didn’t」
Then, right down the middle, the soul was taken. Directly on the spot, I killed with a rotational cutting involving several nearby people.
「My present body, it is a bit stiff.」
「That, that is impossible, he repelled the arrow that hit the eye！！」
「There can’t be such a creature」
「The Devil, He is the Devil！」
With my body’s Defensive Power it is deflected and beside the hardness, the Defensive Power of the Steel Armor put together with it.
And there isn’t a vital part in Deet by its own special abilities.
Usually no matter how much the body is trained, it would be an instant death if shot through the side of the head, the heart, or the eyes.
But, where ever Deet takes an attack, a bruise is changed into the concept of damage and not even a single scratch will remain. However, Just the fictional figure of HP is reduced. [TLN: Okay that is too over powered]
Although I will die if that disappears, movement will not dull until the last moment of death. There is not pain. I will not tire.
According to an enemy, the presence can only be seen as immortal.
When the other party is weak, Deet is invincible.
A powerful enemy that cannot be opposed only by reinforcement of physical ability as an opponent, HP will become 0 in that moment. Besides, the magic of my biggest weapon exposes a fatal weakness without if being able to be properly used.
Other than a formidable enemy as an opponent, 【Rinne Kaiki】[TL: Reincarnation Recursion] works.
I killed about thirty more following soldiers, and finally arrived at the storehouse that the food was kept at.
I strike the wall with the sword to break it, I enter inside.
「Wonderful」
I unintentionally raised my voice.
The food was more than expected. Roughly observing it would be around 4 tons of wheat. There are also some interesting things. Potatoes and Beans which are grains not grown in the Elf Village. And Honey wine Mead. [TLN: very good stuff. Mead is my favorite next to stouts. I am generally more of a beer or rum drinker than wine. Mead is an exception because I probably don’t like grapes.] I am glad that there is a huge amount of salt above all.
This is a form of control performed by the Empire.
The supply base here seems to be a relay and taxes are squeezed out of many villages.
Moreover, by focusing on one crop per village to increase efficiency, the things necessary for life have to be sent from the Empire periodically.
While increasing the tax to be taken, it is a structure that is not able to cause a revolt because they cannot live without supplies from the empire.
But, therefore it is necessary to have a large stockpile of food.
「【Item Box】」
The food, I can put it in the item box. That is also a skill that can only be used by Deet, it is the biggest reason why I chose Deet today.
Game Period’s weight restriction, the range of 4000, in reality the 1 is 1 kg and by conversion 4 tons can freely be stored. [TLN: 1 metric ton = 1000 kg] The things put in 【Item Box】, I can retrieve from it at any time, and it wont rot since time stops when it is placed in it.
It is a very useful skill with the only restriction is that living things cannot be put inside.
「Now then, I have received the stuff. Shall I go for the weapons afterward.」
Since I was receiving the bow which the soldiers surrounding from behind while carrying approximately 3 tons of food, this time I kicked down the door to the armory.
The soldiers clearly do not bother to carry heavy weapons from the Empire to the field.
When finis.h.i.+ng setting out of the Empire with the minimal food and weapons, afterwards they must replenish at the supply base to go to the remove village, the weapons must be considerably prepared too.
After using 【Rinne Kaiki】[TL: Reincarnation Recursion], another 30 minutes have already pa.s.sed. I will be back to the original in another 18 minutes.
Then death will await if that happens. I cannot escape from here with the body of the present Syril.
I cut down the enemies and go through the pa.s.sage while das.h.i.+ng, and at last, I find the locked weapons depot and entered by kicking the door open.
「So much Iron Weapons！ As expected of the Empire」
Even for underling soldiers, despite being inferior, there were expectations because they were equipped with iron armor, thus a voice of admiration leaks when I look at the 50 pairs of armor and swords arranged in the armory. Even if one set is about 30 kg I can take 30 pairs.
There is so much that can be done even if only the metal is obtained. It is also possible to do so with weapons, it will become the foundation for improving one’s standard of living.
「Now then, do I lighten the load in front.」
It had been housed in the item box, I removed the corpses of the soldiers that struck the village, and I mix them with the bodies of the soldiers whom I slaughtered on the way.
Although the hope is thin, it would be great if they were misled to have died in the present raid.
However, it is a shame that the traces of torture on the Captain’s corpse were too severe to be brought.
「Now that I have gotten the goods I should return.」
Today, 3 tons of food and 1 ton of iron was obtained.
If there is nearly 3 tons of food, it will be one month of food for 200 villagers. The stockpile of the village, and if I collect food by hunting in the winter, we can tightly survive winter. There were also interesting crops inside what I stole today, I can have it harvested within 3 months from now depending on an invention.
1 ton of iron, other than to make a weapon that will penetrate armor, reinforcement of wooden farming tools used in the village, some convenient barbed wire, an apparatus to effectively utilize the maple in the forest, I must use it carefully because I have a variety of important uses that will pile up.
「I have to brace myself.」
As I say so, I kicked down a wall and dashed out, while receiving a barrage from bows I slashed at and killed tens of people and appeared outside the gate.
I hear footsteps from the horses from behind but it is useless.
The present me is faster than a horse.
However, I still run at full power. Deet has little less than four more minutes left. Consumption is more intense than I thought.
When I thought of Lucie’s smile, I became full of energy if only for a little.
Not Yet. I cannot die without touching those lips.
The body is wrapped in light. Black Hair ・ Eyes change to Blonde Hair ・Blue Eyes, and the armor disappears.
From Deet, I return to being Syril.
Simultaneously the whole body is seized by a terrible weariness. It is evidence that the Maryoku has been exhausted. Additionally, it is the coming of the recoil of 【Rinne Kaiki】[TL: Reincarnation Recursion]
The soul is creaking. I came close to letting out a scream.
「Good grief, not quite, the usability is a bad. But, it is fortunate that the pursuers will be completely scattered by the time the limit was reached」
【Rinne Kaiki】 takes up completely all of the magical power. Moreover after using it once, I cannot use it again for 12 hours at minimum.
Even if I try to deceive it with sorcery, with the might of the past me, I am still presently Syril. When a mismatch happens on the soul then the body will strain as a result, creating a load on both sides This magic is a double edged sword that can damage my own existence.
Supposedly if there is continuous use. In addition to that, in the worst case scenario of calling oneself more than once, it wont end with just dying, it may possibly damage the soul o the point that reincarnation is no longer possible.
「【Chikaku Kakuchou】[TL: Perception Expansion]」
Wind Magic of the Elves, It is the magic that I have hardly practiced, because of the wind mana even the present me can use it.
I catch the figure of Lucie.
I step forward with heavy feet one sure step at a time towards over there.
The time that pa.s.sed seems to have been an eternity, and then at last I arrived at the carriage where Lucie was waiting for me.
It is 2 hours past midnight. The time everyone is asleep. [TLN: You underestimate my power. I never sleep.]
Yet Lucie was wrapped up in a blanket outside the carriage waiting for me.
A fire is not lit because enemy pursuers could take notice, so it should be considerably cold.
「Syril！ You are safe. I am so glad！」
Lucie rushes up and hugs me.
Because of the cold night wind in the forest, Lucie’s body is cold.
But, it still felt warmer than anything else.
「This way, I’m unhurt. I must have worried you.」
「Yes, very much, I was completely worried.」
Lucie presses her face against my chest. The feeling of cold water. Perhaps Lucie is crying.
「It would be impossible for me to die. Other than that, do you not want to ask if the seizure of food went well?」
「Such a thing would be good to know, but as long as Syril is safe.」
Rather than the village, I am glad that she thinks of me to be more important.
「I’m alright. And I have also properly taken the food. Until Lucie gives me a kiss I cannot die.」
「Whaa, Were you serious about that？」
「Yes, Serious. Of course, if Lucie does not want to I wont force it.」
I want to kiss Lucie, but I will lose everything if I am disliked.
I want to be connected with Lucie and her feelings.
「Okay. If it is Syril」
I raised Lucie’s face which had been buried in my chest. Eyes wet with tears and cheeks dyed red.
「Thank you, Lucie」
As I said only a kiss on the lips.
Although there is no s.e.xual feelings behind it, there is still a warmhearted feeling. The feeling of actually living.
The feelings that were cracked has revived.
Lets put off using the tongue this time. It is enough with this feeling now.
「Syril, that was my first kiss. Take proper responsibility」
「With pleasure, my princess.」
The power from my body leaves simultaneously as with the words.
「Syril, are you okay！？」
I leaned against Lucie.
Lucie anxiously asks.
「This is not injury or sickness. However, Maryoku is empty, that is the recoil from the magic I used a little while ago, to be honest I can’t keep conscious any more.」
「Then it, it is not alright after all you are not completely okay！」
「I’ll recover after sleeping. On the contrary I wont recover if I don’t sleep. Because I sleep soundly for about eight hours, I have to be carried and loaded onto the carriage, and covered with a blanket since I do not want to catch a cold 」
Lucie concealed the carriage in the middle of the deep woods, when escaping for the time being, I can feel more piece of mind by going in the opposite direction of the Elf Village for camouflage.
「Wait here without moving until I get up, and if a soldier comes leave me on the carriage and escape. It will be alright if the only person that gets away is Lucie. There is now way a elf can be caught in the forest」
The limit is to that extent.
I let go of consciousness with those words at the end.
