Chapter 5 – Reincarnation
Bean! Beans!
“Let’s get started! What are you doing!”
Fortuna, who decided to stay still for now, took out her anger on Jun, who was still for no reason.
The behavior was not that different from the reaction of an adolescent boy who was caught masturbating.
Jun, who was interrupted just as he was trying to concentrate, tried to get angry, but stopped because of the moisture he felt on his head.
Because I realized what she was doing.
In fact, he knew why she was away sometimes.
She knew why her body suddenly shivered while she was coughing, and she also knew the identity of the moisture she sometimes felt.
When she felt her own emotions, she was also feeling her emotions.
She couldn’t have known if she didn’t know.
Although he knew, Jun didn’t dare say it out loud.
Because she didn’t want to change this relationship.
She said she was still young, and she didn’t want to do anything like that with a little doll-sized girl.
“Okay. “I knew.”
So this time, Jun maintained her composure as usual, as if she knew nothing.
Anyway, I was really glad that only the emotions were shared.
If even his thoughts had been shared, Fortuna would have died in shame a long time ago.
“Phew~.”
Jun let out a long sigh, shaking off his thoughts and excitement.
Then I closed my eyes and concentrated my mind.
My senses became clearer.
One by one, I began to recognize things that I had unconsciously ignored until now.
The fragrant scent of grass, the sound of birds chirping, the breath of the wind.
And the abundance of mana and infinite space.
Jun excluded the former from awareness again and focused his entire attention on the latter.
For some reason, my body became heavy.
Breathing also became a little uncomfortable.
Before we knew it, Jun had become an electric eel.
The mana he felt was like water in a lake,
The space he felt was the lake itself and his territory.
Jun looked down at his hands with half-open eyes.
Unlike the other friend in the lake, he didn’t hold anything in his hands.
He was dissatisfied with that.
So he muttered softly.
Magic – Pocket Plane
Woo~
With a vibration, something black appeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had been there from the beginning.
At first glance, it looks like a ball, but upon closer inspection, you can see that it is a three-dimensional vortex.
Like a black hole, it was a condensed space and one dimension.
Although it was still small and small, there was a lot of room for growth.
Jun held it dearly and activated the magic core located in the center of his chest.
The magic core hummed and sucked in the surrounding mana, and soon, through practice, it discharged the mana colored in the color of Jun, aka magic power.
Jun manipulates the released magic power to create a pocket plane. It was injected into the nickname subspace.
Then, subspace increased the speed of the vortex and sucked in the surrounding space little by little.
Jun, who started growing subspace, stopped injecting magic only after his magic core reached overheating.
“Ugh.”
Jun frowned as he felt the pain throbbing from his magic core.
“Hang in there, Jun. “Growth comes with pain.”
“Okay. “If you work hard now, the future will be comfortable.”
In response to Fortuna’s consolation, Jun tried to calm down by picturing a happy future.
According to her claim, if you overwork the core in this way during childhood, when vitality and resilience are at their highest during human development, you will obtain a core with a conversion rate, output, and durability that is incomparable to others.
Considering the enormous cost of spatial magic, this training was not an option but a necessity.
If you had to do something, it was better to do it with a smile.
Well, it is still difficult and painful.
“Por, please comfort me more.”
“… Ugh~. Yes, you worked hard. Our Juni, let’s work a little harder from now on. For our happy life. Okay?”
When Jun was pampered, Fortuna pretended not to win and comforted him by gently stroking her head while sighing.
It was like the difference between heaven and earth compared to the appearance he showed when he was just reincarnated.
At that time, she didn’t even show him her face or even her back.
However, as time passed, and we got to know each other, we were able to become as close friends as we are now.
I don’t know what she thought of him, but at least he thought of her as her family.
Does she also think of herself that way?
That would be nice.
No, you must be thinking that way.
Otherwise.
Squeeze. Molkan.
There’s no way I could give you such a lewd kiss.
Jun laughed and enjoyed Fortuna’s sweet but lewd comfort.
Just as I was about to fall asleep.
“Jun!”
A voice was heard calling him from afar.
“This voice.”
“It’s a secret room.”
Jun smiles bitterly at the reference made by Por.
But he didn’t bother to pay attention to her.
Because I know that it is her nickname in her own way.
Well, the person concerned doesn’t really like that nickname.
“Are you going to wait for me to come?”
“No, you probably came to pick me up anyway, so what are you doing?”
After taking up the bundle of herbs and belongings he had thrown aside, Jun stood up and shook the dirt off his pants.
Then he said hello to the electric eel, whose eyes were half-open in his sleep, and then walked towards the voice calling him.
“Harry. It’s here.”
“Ah, Jun! Poetry, Father. Sigh! Sigh!”
“You’re asking me to come because you need help, right? Okay, so catch your breath, friend.”
Jun said and handed him the water bottle he had brought along with the bread.
Harry nodded and gulped down the water in the water bottle.
“June! The top has just visited the village. I saw it on the way and there was a huge bear fur! “I heard it at first glance, but it was a group catch by hunters from the next village!”
“And so it is. There were many snacks I had never seen before! The priest gave me pocket money! Let’s buy and eat together!”
After catching his breath, Harry said what he wanted to say with his eyes shining.
Jun smiled and agreed with his story.
While they were talking like that, they left the mountain and arrived at Primuni Village, their hometown where they were born and raised.
After greeting the guards guarding the entrance to the village, Jun put his hand into the space, pretending to put it in his pocket.
Then, he took out a small portion of the money he had earned from various jobs and gave it to Harry.
“Jun, what is this?”
“Even if the priest had given me pocket money, he wouldn’t have given me just enough money to buy one cookie. “I’m going ahead and buying something delicious with this.”
“Still…”
“Bisil, don’t be sorry, take it when it’s given to you. Instead, you should find the most delicious snacks and put them away. “Understand, right?”
“… Yes!”
After Jun and Fortuna’s persuasion, Harry finally nodded.
After seeing that he was running towards the village square while carefully holding the money in his arms, Jun walked again towards the church where the priest was.
After arriving at the church a while later, Jun entered the church through the back door rather than the front door.
The front door was usually used by believers in Bright, the god of light, and the back door was mainly used by orphans and church members living in the same church as Jun.
For reference, the church in this village also served as an orphanage.
The village itself was established for a special purpose, and the church was the same, so support for orphans was not that bad.
No, in some ways it was much better than an ordinary home.
When Jun first found out about this, he had to suffer from Fortuna for a while.
She said that it was all thanks to her luck that he was entrusted to this church, and she continued to campaign.
In fact, he couldn’t deny it because it was she who led his bride to herself, who had just been abandoned by her parents in this life.
Knock
“Father, I’m here.”
Arriving at the priest’s office, Jun knocked lightly on the office door to announce his arrival.
Then, I heard the priest’s urgent voice telling me to come in.
“Hello, boss.”
“You seem to be in a lot of trouble, boss.”
“Who’s the boss!”
The boss, or rather Father Leonard, who had been looking at the documents in response to Fortuna and Jun’s jokes, put down the documents and frowned.
The already scary face became even more frightening.
Who on earth would see that face as a bride?
The angular face, the scars across the face, and the large muscular bulk were so fearsome that I thought the bandits were bowing down and taking him as their leader.
“Ha~. “I don’t have the energy to joke around, so please check this.”
At Leonard’s urging, June sat down on the chair across from him and skimmed through the documents lying on the table.
The document was the village’s ledger.
“Did the village chief fearlessly embezzle village public funds again?”
Fortuna asked with a puzzled expression.
Leonard smiled bitterly and nodded.
“I’m not sure, but I think so. The top took out village public funds to buy supplies needed for the village, but the amount… Was somehow unclear.”
“Then it must be embezzlement. “Because the boss has a keen eye and is at least accurate.”
“Well, that’s fine. “You’ll have to check it yourself to find out.”
Leonard said that and gave Jun a look.
He had the ledgers lined up neatly in front of him, page by page.
‘Let’s get started.’
After putting down the last document, Jun picked up a pen.
Then, after taking a deep breath, he activated the psychic core located in his head.
The superpower of thinking, which was in normal operation, was further activated.
Jun did not stop there and used the techniques and skills he gained while training his superpowers.
Skill-Activation
Jun’s bright, childish eyes calmed down.
Due to his extremely activated thinking ability, Jun’s time began to pass very quickly.
During that time, Jun diligently examined the ledger with his eyes.
What I saw once remained in my mind as clearly as a photograph, and the calculation of numbers was done immediately as if I had used a calculator.
Before he could even blink, Jun found all the village chief’s tricks in dozens of ledgers.
“You did it very cleverly. Why was someone so cunning driven out of Remumuni?”
“Is there anything wrong? It was just bad luck.”
After hearing Leonard’s answer, Fortuna looked at Jun and raised her nose haughtily.
It seemed as if he meant to be nice to himself if he didn’t want to be like that.
June looked at her with her cold eyes and asked her Leonard again.
“This was your third embezzlement, right? At this level, he won’t be able to avoid major punishment, so what on earth is Remumuni doing like this?”
“… It’s a decent place. “That place.”
Leonard smiles bitterly.
Looking at that reaction, it seemed like it was true.
There is a rumor that he was a well-known ranker in Lemumuni in the past.
