In the tent at the campsite

I was waiting for Aibas explanation.

The reason why Goshogawaras wife and daughter, who were supposed to have been eaten by Peony, are still alive is because of this person.

They were supposed to be dead, but they are still alive.

This ans that this persons skill may have a resurrection skill that can bring the dead back to life.

If that was the case, its value is imasurable.

As I waited for his explanation, Aiba suddenly bowed his head.

?

Whats going on, all of a sudden?

Um whats wrong? Why are you bowing all of a sudden?

No I just thought Id apologize first.

For. what?

Because I know I am going to disappoint you. The fact that these won are still alive is certainly due to my skills. There is no doubt about that.

But, he continued, my skill is not resurrection.'

huh?

You thought so, didnt you? I an, the people who should have died after the attack of that monster. Im sure you thought that it was like this because of so kind of skill I possess.

Is it different?

As if he read my mind, Aiba accurately guessed my thoughts.

Aiba smiled and shook his head at my surprise.

In the first place, there is no skill that can revive a dead person. There are several skills that have a similar effect, but they are all very different. There is no skill that can bring back a dead person. If there were such a skill, she would have been the first to acquire it and revive him.

No skill to revive the dead? How does this person know about that?

I couldnt quite catch the last part, but even so, Aibas tone was filled with a strong emotion, almost like a certainty.

Could it be that this person also has the right to ask questions? Or is it sothing else ?

Looks like this person has a lot more information than I thought.

I was so engrossed in my conversation with Aiba that I couldnt even think about the implications behind his words.

Kudou, please take a look at this.

?

Then Aiba picked up a cup on the table.

I wonder what he is going to do with it Then he brought it to his eye level and suddenly let go of the cup.

Naturally, the cup followed gravity and fell on the table, spilling its contents in a dramatic manner.

Aiba, what are you?

Ah, please watch.

Aiba held his hand over the cup that was lying on the table.

Then, the cup shone brightly.

The water that had spilled around it also began to glow and then returned to the cup.

It was as if we were rewinding a video.

Is this a remote control skill?

No, its not. Look closely. Now Im going to disable this skill.

Disable?

Aiba held his hand over the cup again.

This ti, the cup floated up into the air by itself and fell.

Water splashes on the table again. It was the sa scene as last ti.

No, wait. The sa ?

Could this be?

Yes, it is. This is the skill I have reanimation.

So thats it.

The way the cup was raised and the way the water spilled were all the sa as the first ti.

That ans !

I looked at Aiba-san in shock.

He nodded his head.

Yes. My skill reanimation allows to rewind the state of any person or object up to a certain amount of ti and recreate their existence.

What?!

Naturally, if I use it on a dead person, that person can be reanimated with their mories and body intact. There are so restrictions, but unless I deactivate this skill, the dead person will be able to think and act as they did before they died. Since they are a recreation of a flesh-and-blood body, they are not zombies, and they can use the skills they had before they died. They can also gain experiences and increase their levels.

Wh, what the hell is this skill Its a scam.

Its a sha that it isnt a resurrection skill, but it is still a powerful skill.

It also explains why the presence I felt from the people was real.

Thats why my skills didnt show any reaction.

But then theres

They really are

Yes, they are dead. Without a target to recreate, my skills are useless.

!

Even though I knew it, it was still hard to believe it.

I knew it would be like this, but I still wanted them to survive.

Now, I wonder what the effects of the skills are on the people in this campsite.

Um.. can I ask you more about its effects?

Of course you may. I have no intention of keeping this skill a secret. Thats right..

Aiba suddenly stood up with a thoughtful look on his face.

Kudou, please follow .

I followed after him and left the tent.

As we walked through the campsite, various people, including the charr from earlier, approached us.

Aiba, weve finished our search!

Aiba, Id like to ask you about the food arrangents

Aiba, I finally gained a new skill.

Aiba.

Aiba.

Ev, everyone, please dont talk all at once like that. I will listen to you properly later, one by one, so please get back to what you were doing now

While smiling at the people rushing towards him, Aiba replied politely.

This scene alone showed how much Aiba was trusted by those around him.

I continued to follow him.

The place we arrived at was a resting area at the top of a little hill.

There were only a few simple stumps to sit on.

You can see the whole campsite from here.

Yes..

People were cooking food and chatting around the tents.

If the world wasnt like this, it would seem like a tranquil scene.

Continuing our conversation from earlier, how does everything look from your point of view, Kudou? What do you think about them?

When you say them, you an ?

The people you just ntioned. From your point of view, did those people seem to be alive?

When he said that, I was montarily at a loss for words.

In other words, all the people who had approached Aiba on the way here were probably people who had been reanimated by him.

That is that

.. Im sorry, that was a bit of an insensitive question..

Aiba bowed his head apologetically.

More than half of the people here have been reanimated by my skills. They dont even know theyre dead. They continue to live like normal humans.

Half that many

Im hoping that they will remain unaware. If they rember their deaths, it could trigger so sort of problem with their skills.

But, he continued, at the sa ti, if their families have survived, I would like to reunite them. In a world like this, it would be a miracle just to see them together again. But, when they et again, if they beco aware of their own death

You an there is a chance that the skill could be disabled?

Yes. I cant be sure. Because I havent tried sothing like that yet

Ive never tried it.

Yes, I havent had the chance to try it. Not in this world.

But now.

[T/N: This part is Aiba thinking to himself]

Im lost, I.

.

After I reanimated those won, they would often tell about their family. Satsuki told that she had a father she was proud of, and Midori told that she had a husband she could rely on. They talk about it with such joy.

I also heard from Goshogawara several tis. He said he was proud of his wife and daughter. They are a family after all. They say the sa thing.

Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. I think they are a beautiful family, which is rare nowadays. I envy them. Thats why I really want them to reunite imdiately.. Im sure thats what this skill of mine is originally ant for. but I cant help but feel hesitant my mind is filled with countless what-ifs.

I didnt know what to tell Aiba, who had a complicated expression on his face.

If I could, Id take them to Goshogawara right away.

But after hearing this, I cant help but feel hesitant.

Cant I go back to the base and tell Goshogawara what happened beforehand? Im sure hell be fine as long as you get him to talk.

Thats right. That would be good.

Its not just Goshogawara-san.

Nishino-kun and everyone else also needed to be inford about this, and we have to make sure we are on the sa page.

It was a lot of work, but I still wanted to reunite Mr. Goshogawara with his family.

Oh, I just want to know, are there any restrictions on how the reanimated people can behave?

Not really. As long as I dont release my skills, there is no ti limit or distance But I have to know what they are doing to a certain extent, that is why I limit the range of my activities

The reason for this is that there is a possibility that they might accidentally reunite with soone they used to know before they died.

The reanimated people appeared to be mainly in charge of working in the camp.

However, people like Satsuki, who have skills in scouting and combat, were asked to only explore the safe area around the campsite so as to avoid any irregularities.

I didnt think that there would be any vicious monsters around here, but. I didnt expect it.

I apologized to Aiba in my heart.

Im sorry. This was probably due to Soras breath attack.

If not for that, the tal Lizard probably wouldnt have moved towards the campsite.

Anyway.

What is it?

Aiba tilted his head as I stared at him.

No, at first glance you dont look like a monster at all. I dont an to sound rude, but.

Haha, its fine. I dont really care that I beca a monster.

Unlike Ono, Aibas appearance has not changed at all. It is just like that intelligent zombie.

In the zombies case, when I looked for signs, I could see that it was indeed an undead, but Aiba looked exactly like a normal human.

Thats why I was curious and asked,

How did you beco a monster, Aiba? Could it be because you ate a magic stone?

I guess it was probably because Aibas atmosphere and way of speaking was so friendly.

I asked him a question that I would never normally ask.

Oh, are you curious?

Aibas tone was exactly the sa as before.

I turned into a monster before the world changed into this.

He said nonchalantly.

huh?

For a mont, I didnt understand what he was saying.

I had sothing I really needed to do. I tried to find a way to get here before her, but I thought it would be best if I turned into a monster before I transferred. So I decided to mutate into an undead being whose appearance never changes.

What do you an?

Before the world beca like this?

The most certain way to beco a monster?

What is this guy talking about?

Its like

Huh? Didnt you notice? She recognized as an undead at a glance, and since I could feel her presence, I thought she must have noticed ..

Aiba looked a little surprised.

Im from another world, Kudou.

He spoke clearly.
