239 – Varied academy life
The several reincarnators including sensei began to attend a human academy. What’s surprising, is that in addition to the two reincarnators that sensei t previously, is that there’s two more reincarnators going to the sa academy. Natsu-kun and Hasebe-san. With regards to Hasebe-san, it’s rude to say this but she hadn’t left with much of an impression. It’s not like she faded into the background or sothing, but she didn’t stand out either. Just, ordinary I guess? That’s the kind of girl I feel she was. Actually, I just don’t rember her. Sorry.
But, the impression of the reincarnated Hasebe-san, is completely different to her previous life and is intense. Firstly, she’s beautiful. In my vague recollection, in her previous life I don’t get the impression that she was particularly beautiful, but instead that with what felt like so remaining childhood immaturity she had a winso face, but in this life she’s definitely beautiful. She has smooth facial features to the extent that her future prospects shine through even while she’s still a child. Well, saying that it’s pretty common for the reincarnators to be handso boys or pretty girls though. Maybe it’s a present from D or sothing. Saying that, it’s her insides that have changed more intensely.
「As the na implies the Divine Words are the Words of God. They are literally a revelation from God! That is why, in order to hear that Voice even slightly more often, we must raise our levels and train our skills! Since if you don’t do that then you obviously cannot hear the Words of God!」
Woah. Nai wa.
Why did this happen? With regards to Hasebe-san, I haven’t understood that organisation yet have I. But it sure seems that the Divine Word Religion has so hidden tricks. For Ogiwara-kun who is also hidden, there’s occasionally so contact so I’m able to grasp his situation though. And the final reincarnator in the hands of the Divine Word Religion is Kusama-kun.
Hmm. I’ve been putting it off until now, but maybe I should get in touch with the Divine Word Religion again or sothing. There’s a precedent already with soone like Potimas, so depending on the circumstances they may beco an annoying enemy. What kind of intention do they have for sheltering the reincarnators I wonder. Because of that, I also wonder what their reason is for intentionally sending that person to the elf village. What are the Divine Word Religion aiming for with their actions I wonder. I need to find out.
However, I wonder if it’s okay in Hasebe-san’s case to leave her alone. It seems this girl, has already gone half crazy. While it could be said that she’s been brainwashed to be convenient to the Divine Word Religion or sothing, it really seems unlikely that she’s been entrusted with so secret orders or sothing like that. In what I’ve observed so far she’s not once taken any suspicious actions either. I’ll continue monitoring her, but I don’t need to be that vigilant I guess.
If there’s a problem, then I’d say it’s with Natsu-kun. Unlike Hasebe-san, I have a strong impression remaining of Natsu-kun. In a bad sense. Well, to put it simply he’s the “leader of the pack” type of kid. Even when he beca a high school student, he was still always doing stuff like Big G.
In addition, he is soone who attempted to literally crush .
In my previous mories of when I was a spider, I don’t have the recollection that it was Natsu-kun. I only had awareness to the extent that sobody had been trying to kill . However, that mory is complinted by the mories of Wakaba Hiiro. She rembers the situation when Natsu-kun was trying to crush a single spider. And also sensei, who stopped him.
Do I bear a grudge against him for that? You bet. You could say that he almost killed . Although my mories as a spider have been mostly lost, the terror I felt at that ti, and the gratitude of when I was saved is sothing I’ve never forgotten.
Is there so ans by which I can harass Natsu-kun I wonder? Killing him would be the quickest and most refreshing way, but if I did that I’m sure sensei would be saddened.
I rember the conversation that sensei had with Ooshima-kun. When sensei was discussing the students who had died, she kept a brave face on. But, I know more. When she is sleeping, there are tis when she wakes up while crying. The tis when she says “I’m sorry” in a small voice while trembling.
There are four dead students. One of those is doing just fine though, so it’s really three students. I’m fully aware of the harshness of this world. When re high school students from Japan were reborn as babies in such a world, the victims were limited to just three students. I think it’s likely, that before I was aware of it, that she was continuously crossing a very dangerous bridge, and was continuing to take huge risks. From my perspective I think her achievents are more than good enough. But, sensei does not think so herself. She’s always thinking to herself, about whether she could have saved the three who died.
I’m sure it wasn’t possible though. There’s not all that much that a single individual can achieve. Since even a god is not omnipotent. Thinking that they all could have been saved, is nothing other than unwarranted pride. I think sensei can take pride in what she achieved. But, it’s precisely because she cannot do that, is why sensei is sensei I guess.
Really. Whether it’s sensei, whether it’s the Demon King, whether it’s Kuro, all with this impossible dream that everything can be concluded with a Happy Ending. This can’t end with so grand finale. There’s too many scum in the world for everything to be saved. There’s the likes of Potimas and Natsu-kun, you know.
I’ve kept an eye out on Natsu-kun since an early stage. Having been called a genius since birth, I wondered if he might be a reincarnator. And sure enough he was. At the ti when he t up with sensei and the others I already knew that he was actually Natsu-kun though. After all, Natsu-kun hasn’t changed inside since his previous life you know. Actually, he’s gotten worse than before perhaps. Born as a prince of all things, lionised as a genius since birth, having a strong power while actually being a child and all that. Oh yes. He’s gotten conceited. A total braggart. An ego so inflated he might lift off.
To pop that inflated ego is simple enough, but maybe that isn’t my job. While watching him irritates no end, I probably shouldn’t intervene too much. Since there just happens to be all these reincarnators gathered together in this isolated space called an academy. If I take so imprudent action here and it gets noticed, then Potimas or “him” might possibly intervene. That would be bad. Particularly “him”, Yamada-kun’s elder brother – I want to avoid intervention from the Hero Julius.
Translation notes:
Hasabe’s words in this chapter are new – they’re not quoted from another chapter.
Side chapter K1 is when Oka-chan and Katia discussed the four students thought to be dead.
For those who didn’t click the link, “Big G” is how Takeshi Goda from Doraemon is officially called in the English dubs. In Japanese his nickna is Gian, which is how Shiro refers to him here.
