The Reincarnated Extra Chapter 9: ..Ah, that one's a reincarnated person

…Ah, that one’s a reincarnated person.

* * *

Boommmmm!!!

In the early morning mist of Naso Forest, an unheard roar reverberates.

Naturally, I was jolted awake by that roar and its accompanying vibration.

The Kariva Great Tree, where I nest, trembles violently.

What’s this noise!?

It’s still early in the morning, and yet it disturbs my peaceful sleep!

…I really hate being disturbed while I’m sleeping!

I leap up, frowning, and stick my head out of the hole to look outside.

The dark blue sky is gradually brightening.

Beneath it, in a corner of the lush Naso Forest, black smoke is rising.

This Extra, being a maniac for isekai broadcasts, casually uses slang learned from “events” in streaming. And she’s overly curious and carefree.

Without any sense of caution, she made such a suggestion.

Still groggy from waking up, I, driven by anger for having my peaceful sleep disturbed (planning to throw stones in protest), thoughtlessly dashed toward the source of the roaring noise and smoke.

…And that brings us to now.

It was quite the roar, wasn’t it, Extra?

The cause of such a roar must definitely be sothing, right?

If the cause turned out to be a dangerous and powerful monster, what were you planning to do, Extra?

Silent treatnt, huh.

Gah! I can’t argue back when you put it like that!

Well, um, I guess there’s… no danger, maybe?

I arrived at the source of the smoke in less than five minutes.

It was quite a distance, but as a 5-year-old who is accustod to forest living and skilled in 【Body Strengthening】, I wasn’t even out of breath from such a move.

…And then.

What I’m secretly peeping at from the bushes is a clearing that suddenly appeared in Naso Forest.

Wasn’t there such a clearing here until yesterday?

The trees were knocked down, turned into black char, and smoke was billowing up.

Ah… the carcasses of (probably) Naked Awful-tasting Mice have also turned into charcoal.

They’re definitely inedible now. What a waste…

But that’s not the point!

My gaze shifts to the person who seems to have created this clearing.

Standing there was a beautiful boy with flaming red hair and red eyes, about the sa age as … no, if my mory serves right, he should be the sa age as .

When I say “if my mory serves right,” it’s because I know the na of that beautiful boy.

After all… he’s Torch Fenoben, who lives in the sa village of Fenoben as .

Oh, the reason his surna is the sa as the village’s na is that he’s the son of the village chief.

In this country (I don’t know the na of the country because I haven’t studied it), commoners like don’t have surnas, but it seems that families at the level of the village chief can have a family na. Not that it matters.

…Hmm? But what in the world is going on here??

As far as I know, Torch-kun is indeed the son of the village chief, but he’s definitely just a typical village child A, and shouldn’t possess the power to cause such ridiculous destruction?

As I stood there perplexed and frozen, Torch-kun, who had a wry smile on his face, began to mutter to himself.

My super hearing, honed by forest living (probably due to 【Body Strengthening】 making my ears incredibly sharp), caught his words.

“…This requires practice in control. Really, the power of 【Divine Blessing】 is sothing else…”

…Torch-kun mutters to himself in a “give a break” manner.

Huh? Was he always the type to talk like an adult?

I thought he was more of a typical mischievous 5-year-old brat…

…Wait, “blessing”?

Torch-kun ntioned a blessing just now, didn’t he?

A blessing is…

Torch-kun said 【Divine Blessing】, right?

…I rember that na…

That god, probably, was at that auction venue five years ago…

An adult-like deanor unbefitting of a 5-year-old.

And a mighty power. 【Divine Blessing】.

…Ah, that one’s a reincarnated person.
