Chapter 456 - After Exploring the Zeshum Ruins
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
A few days have passed since the exploration of the Zeshum ruins.
Mea was sitting on a bed in a room of an inn, closing her eyes and resting her body. Abel and Mea, who had more or less enough money to spare, had decided to stay in separate rooms.
Mea’s eyes were closed, but she was not asleep.
She couldn’t sleep well, so she closed her eyes and tried to rest her body somehow.
She didn’t want to leave any eye bugs.
Mea opened her eyes and checked the clock.
A sigh escaped her lips as she realized that it was still deep in the night.
She sat on the bed in a daze, rocking her legs and patting the blanket with her palms.
It was a cheap inn, the second rank from the bottom in the Lomarn City.
The bed was hard and not of the best quality in general.
But still, it was much better than the treatment she had received in her hometown.
No, it was not even a good comparison.
Back home, she was often given a thin blanket in a storage room and slept on what was almost the floor.
But she couldn’t fall asleep well.
She had been able to sleep comfortably in a pile of burlap bags when James, the peddler, had given her a ride, but now it was not possible.
When she was alone in the cramped room, all she could think about was back home.
When she couldn’t afford it, she shared a room with Abel.
If she called out to him in the middle of the night, he would say something back to her, which would distract her, but when she was in a separate room, she couldn’t do that.
Mea gently reached out her hand to her forehead.
It was supposed to have a green magic crystal on it, as a sign of the Doom tribe.
She roughly explained to Abel that she had been ridiculed for not having a magic crystal.
However, the facts were a bit more complicated.
Mea herself had not fully digested the situation and did not think she could speak well, so she kept Abel in the dark.
“Besides, I don’t think Abel is interested in Mea’s past, and I don’t want him to think I’m too heavy-handed.”
She muttered to herself and gently opened the curtains of the window.
The moonlight illuminates the window, and Mea’s image is reflected in the light.
Mea’s body trembles at the sudden appearance of herself.
Then she realized who it was and was immediately relieved.
Staring at the window, she tried to smile.
“I have to be cheerful. Abel will have more fun that way ……”
She mentions the name of the white-haired boy who has been my companion on this journey, and her mind wanders as she wonders how long he will stay with her.
It’s not that Abel and Mea are not close.
They just happened to be in similar situations and happened to be there.
If they hadn’t gotten into James’ carriage, they would never have met.
One comment from Abel and they could have been separated tomorrow.
Mea was not confident that she could survive on her own when that happened.
So, when Abel said he wanted to buy a branch of the world tree, Mea thought it was an opportunity.
Every time she thought back on it, she felt nauseous with disgust and sorry for her ugliness.
She looked up, following the moonlight.
Far away in the sky, there was a suspiciously glowing moon.
It was round, like the eyeball of a large monster, and it seemed to be looking down on the Lomarn City.
It is said that in the mythical times when the world was created by powerful gods, the most powerful god ruled the sky and created the moon.
It was written in a picture book that Mea happened to see a long time ago.
She remembers that her mother took it away from her with a pale face, so she could only read halfway through.
She thought she would scream and curse at her as usual, but she didn’t say anything.
This made the day even more vivid in Mea’s memory.
“…………”
She closed the curtain gently.
She felt like the moon was looking at me, and it made her feel unsettled.
She knows it was just her imagination, but she was still scared.
When she’s feeling uncomfortable, everything around her seems to be full of malice.
She turned my face away from the window, hugged the blanket tightly, and closed her eyes.
(When the moon goes down a little more …… I’ll go to wake up Abel ……)
Mea felt something from behind the curtain, from beyond the sky, as if something was staring at her.
Mea was threatened by the past and the gaze, but she just sat still, meditating, to pass the time.
“Abel!”
“Abel! Are you in your room, Abel!”
Abel, who had been asleep, woke up to the sound of a pounding on the door.
He sat up and rubbed his eyelids.
Abel looked at the clock to make sure that it was still early in the morning and that the sun had not yet fully risen.
“You’re somewhat an early riser, huh ……”
— The fact that Mea has confirmed his existence is probably due to the fact that he used to sneak out in the middle of the night to carve Ortems.
That’s what Abel was thinking.
“Be a little quieter …… there are other people sleeping.”
As soon as Abel spoke up, the banging on the door stopped.
She’s holding her breath as carefully as she can, making the sound “Uhhh ……”, he can hear her weak voice moaning in pain coming from the other side of the door.
“No, you don’t have to go that far, you know!?”
Abel got off the bed, put on his shoes, and rushed to the door of the room.
“…… Mea is surprisingly strong in the morning.”
When Abel opened the door, he found Mea in her regular clothes, wrapping up her belongings.
He was embarrassed to see himself in his nightgown, so he touched his hair to try to fix his sleeping habits. As expected, she found her hair bouncing and pushed it down with her hand, but it was quickly restored by the repulsive force.
“Ehhh …… I’m a little bleary-eyed. I just wanted to see Abel as soon as possible.”
“I, I see ……”
Abel replied with a slight drawl as he paused for words.
————————————————–
This is the story between the second and third chapters.
It’s a bit inappropriate for the first story, but it’s something I refrained from using in the new short story for the second volume, and it would be a shame not to publish it, so I decided to use it.
I’d like to post regular stories from time to time.
…… By the way, I found out for the first time that I can’t post the latest story if I set it to complete, so I’m setting it back to serialized for now.
Yesterday, September 12th, the second volume of the comicalization of Noroizoku Tensei was released!
The contents are from the Marren tribe’s escape from the village to the Zeshum ruins.
Abel and Mea are also very attractive in the comicalized version with more detailed gestures!
…… Please look forward to Gizel, who is more braconic and yandere than in the novel version!
……I posted this because the second volume of the comicalization was released the other day, but I wanted to make the later story as cheerful as possible, so I’ll post it again soon.
I hope you’ll continue to keep an eye out for more Noroizoku Tensei and other novels I post! (09/13/2019)
