Chapter 476. Visitor from the east (3) I asked him cautiously.
“Have we ever met somewhere?
Not here… before… you mean?”
this place. In other words, a world other than here.
His face contorted horribly, as if my suspicions were not just empty.
Isn’t it surprising that you suddenly open your eyes wide?
“no way! indeed! no wonder! The sense of incongruity earlier was not simple! no! Wasn’t it!”
Apparently he had come to the same conclusion.
“Are you a teacher?!
Then I was also convinced.
‘Oh man. He’s someone I know.’
You can’t tell just by looking at the face.
But appearances don’t matter.
rather inside.
A strange sense of déjà vu that arises from fist-to-fist with him.
The hostility from a moment ago is gone, and an unusual pleasure lingers in his eyes.
I also remember
That leads to one conclusion.
“Hmm, that’s what it looks like… is it? Isn’t that right, Shen?”
I recalled the image I remembered and called his name.
And when he saw his eyes wide open, he was convinced.
‘Could it be that kid?’
The figure that comes to mind in that distant memory is that of a pretty scruffy boy.
Yeah… there was a guy like that.
It was when I lived my 51st life.
At that time, I had just been born into a world that was devastated by the end of the war.
Born in a world where the war was prolonged and devastated and desolate, I chose business to survive.
Because it was a desolate world, the tyranny of the possessed was severe, and I thought that ruling the commercial sphere was the quickest way to solve it.
At that time, I started to learn the tricks while repeating my previous life, and since it was a fresh, self-confident time, I boldly started trading and quickly made a name for myself as a person who controlled money and goods in the area.
And one of the little ones who had a lot to do with me at the time was…..
“I wonder if you really are Shen?”
“…It’s been a while since I heard that name. Calling me by the name of that past life is,
of course, you.
“You are the teacher!”
It is certainly.
I still remember.
[Sir, please hire me. In that case, I will do whatever you tell me to do.]
Since it was a tough time to make a living, he knelt down in front of me and begged me to do odd jobs… or even more.
Hearing of the pitiful circumstances of the village where the little boy lived, I pondered for a while and noticed that the boy was gifted with quite a bit of martial arts talent.
At the time, I couldn’t balance both strength and business at once.
That’s why I took in the little boy as a disciple and made him a gatekeeper to protect the store.
After all, the first hitter of the way I teach and pamper someone may have been that little boy.
After that, a lot of things happened, and soon, according to my eyesight, when the little boy reached the age of a young man, he became famous as a military man and entered the ranks of ‘life and death’ beyond human limits.
Although he gained fame and skill, he talked about grace and tried to remain under my command for the rest of his life.
As for me, I felt a little sorry because I just taught them to roll in the rough work.
Haru confessed it, but he was rather embarrassed as if it was nonsense.
[It is only thanks to the teacher that I have reached this level. But how can he leave the teacher’s side?]
That’s how he remained under me.
No one in my entire life has been as loyal as him.
Of course… after that.
no need to work anymore
Thinking so, I appropriately entrusted him with all the business and power he had worked for so far and left.
In fact, everything was predestined.
He planned to retire in moderation once he could make ends meet.
At that time, it was a child’s time when questions and skepticism about the previous life were just beginning to sprout.
Because I didn’t want to stay in one place for too long.
I didn’t want to attach more affection to the people around me than necessary.
After that, I didn’t know anything about him.
I just thought that I must have lived well and enjoyed my heavenly life.
But…
“I never thought we’d run into each other in a place like this.”
“I was just as surprised. How can you… a teacher in a place like this…?”
He sniffed the tip of his nose as if he was deeply moved, and then he realized something and exclaimed! He flinched and quickly lowered his stance.
“Previously! Faceless! I don’t think I would ever do anything to sway the teacher.”
“No, I bought it, so let’s just do it.”
“but!”
“It’s done. It’s an accident.”
“….All right.”
I don’t know if he really understood or if it was because I threatened him, but he raised his head again.
“The story we have to share right now wouldn’t have been a mistake from a moment ago, right? yes?”
“…That’s right.”
He nodded seriously.
Did you really understand?
Somehow his appearance has changed, but the way he nods repeatedly is not different from back then.
It’s like a dog waiting for some command…
Ugh… that’s it.
Because there are more things I want to ask now than that.
“I have a lot to say for now.”
I glanced around and scratched my cheek.
Now that the tension is gone, you can see your surroundings properly.
“Shall we change seats?”
“I think it should be as the teacher said.”
Because we hit it lightly, this place, which had a beautiful scenery in its own way, was almost turned into a mess.
You did a good job of nuisance.
….I’m sorry Mother Nature!
In my heart, I apologized.
Before anyone else noticed the commotion here, I took Shen and left.
Thinking it would be better to talk about this and that without the eyes of others, I took him to one of my secret My Rooms.
In this place, you can have a conversation without notice.
“indeed! To prepare such an air-raid shelter in case of emergency!”
“…Okay, let’s assume that’s the case.”
I can’t say it’s a place I made to hang out.
Really, nothing has changed about this guy.
Once the tea was served, he accepted the cup with sincere congratulations.
I sat down moderately with my glass in my hand and slowly brought up a question.
“Shen. Let’s ask this first. You’re here… you’re…
“Yes. It is as you think.”
You don’t even need to ask
I was able to reunite here with a guy I knew from a distant past, even from another world.
The conclusion it points to is one.
“I also have those two]. I have reincarnated several times.”
“As expected.”
“I was surprised too. That’s what the teacher…
“Yes, I’m a reincarnated person… It was like that then too.”
I didn’t say it then.
Because I couldn’t believe what I had to say.
There’s no need to hide it anymore.
I obediently confessed my true identity, and he closed his eyes as if he finally understood everything.
“So the teacher at the time was so…
“I don’t know what fantasy you had about me, but it ended up like this.”
At the time, this guy respected me quite a bit.
But in fact, my base was like this.
I was about to say don’t be disappointed, but he shook his head.
“That’s not it. On the contrary, I have a growing respect for you.”
“….hmm? Why is that?”
“You have such diverse experience and knowledge, but you used it for the sake of the world, right?”
“Ah, is that so… is it?”
I started it because I thought I would starve to death if I left it as is.
It’s embarrassing again.
It’s strangely itchy somewhere since it happened when I was in the middle of the day.
After Shen’s flattery laughed off.
“So what happened?”
When I asked again, Shen began to explain seriously.
“What I did in my previous life. It was after the teacher disappeared…”
“After I… disappeared.”
“Yes, after that, I maintained Sanghoe just as the teacher left me, and also literally renovated it for the well-being of the world.”
“uh? Was it…? for a moment? Rather, did I say that?”
hmm? I’ll just give you the rest of my possessions, do you remember that I wrote “Eat well and be well?”
I was sorry for taking the little boy and making him suffer for decades, so he handed it over to me?
Why is that?
“Of course, shouldn’t we inherit the will of the teacher and use it for the stability of the world?”
“Don’t worry. After that, I let someone I trust take over.”
“…Is that so?”
“Perhaps it is still developing wonderfully.”
no that’s not it
I didn’t mean that
Hearing his story makes me feel strangely embarrassed.
I covered my forehead with my hand and sighed softly so as not to be heard.
“So after that?”
“After that, I also teach the disciples. And I changed my life with all my life.”
“Umm… did that happen?”
“In addition, I think I lived to be 253 years old.”
“It’s a shame you lived a long time.”
Shen smiled bitterly, saying, “I think so too.”
Well, since he was a master at that level, it can be said that he lived a normal life in his own way.
“It was after that. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar place… It took me quite a while after that to realize that I had been reborn into another world.”
“You understand that. It’s hard to accept everything like that at first.”
It’s now, even if I’m born again, ‘Oh? Again?’ While doing it, you can start playing pretending to be a baby.
I’ve already let go of the shame.
“What a miracle. I never thought the kid I taught would become a reincarnated person.”
“For me, I am deeply moved to be reunited here with the teacher thanks to that.”
As she said that, she burst into tears as if she were truly moved.
I don’t know what kind of unpleasant thing the boy is talking about…
“That… Yes, that’s good.”
But I wasn’t in a bad mood either.
Every time a new life begins, old ties are abandoned.
I had some regrets in the past, but now I can’t even feel that kind of feeling.
That’s it and later is later.
Because at some point it just came apart.
But even if it was a coincidence, I would never have thought I would face a guy who knew me in the past.
“But why was the teacher in such a place?”
“ah? That’s… it’s kind of like that w When I explained why I tried to feed the Principality of Ruin, Shen overheard it.
“I’m sorry.”
It made a terrifying impression, as if it were genuinely displeased.
I’m holding back more anger than when I confronted him not knowing my true identity a moment ago.
“I don’t think they’d be that stupid…. You don’t even need to step forward. Now that this has happened, I will personally condemn…
“Don’t do it! can’t do it! It’s already over!”
Knowing Shen’s ways well, I hurriedly stopped him.
If this guy goes out like this, it really gets bloody.
I asked just in case.
“Before that, let me ask. What are you going to do if I don’t stop you?”
“Surely we should hang their necks and let people know how rude they are and how severe the cost is, right?”
