ReLife Player Chapter 438

Relife Player 438

[Chapter 126]

[Enlightenment permeates the sword (4)]

There is no way for an Ain who was abandoned as soon as he was born to have a name.

A person who just cries and can’t do anything alone is likely to become food for wild dogs.

Among those who are lucky enough to survive, some are sold into underground markets, picked up by people in the slums, or, if they are very lucky, put into orphanages.

“Hmm, so your name is Pink?”

“Yeah, because my hair is pink.”

“The color is too dark for a pink… I guess the people who gave it the name didn’t have eyes to see.”

Therefore, the names of most demihumans do not sound like human names.

It’s just that nicknames that are intuitively used to call nameless people for the sake of convenience eventually become established as names.

For example, their name is Blue because their hair is blue.

In a similar way, my name came to be called Pink by people in the back alleys who offered alms.

“Rather than that, let’s move somewhere else quickly. If you are caught resting here, you will be scolded by the sisters.”

“I’ve been cleaning since early in the morning, so why don’t I take a break? And look, I’ve already finished all of today’s assignments.”

“still….”

I don’t remember the name anymore.

Because he died soon.

All I remember is that ‘he’, who was given to people in the slums after losing his parents to the Kraken, was different from other people.

He was always confident and knew a lot.

Above all, it was bright and lively.

So, I and other children my age followed the child who always kept smiling even though he was the last to enter the slums.

“Why are you always smiling? Isn’t it hard living here?”

I asked him one day.

Then he answered very confidently.

“Because good luck comes when you smile. My dad told me before he passed away that no matter how hard it was, I should live happily and smile.”

“Does that work?”

“Hmm… I kept smiling, but it made me feel better. And it made me think more positively, and that’s how I met you.”

“…I think you’re really good at saying cheesy things.”

“Is that so? I don’t know… Think about it like me. Then you’ll feel better.”

“I don’t think it suits me…”

His thoughts were very foreign to the people of the slums who lived lives without knowing what tomorrow would bring.

So I think the kids and I followed him closely.

I feel like if I follow that kid, a good day will definitely come someday.

“Ah! I remembered.”

“what?”

“There was a movie I watched with my parents a long time ago. Now that I think about it, I think Pink is the same person from that movie.” “What movie was it?”

“The Little Mermaid. You probably know this because you’ve heard it at least once, right?”

“…I look like the Little Mermaid?”

“I think we look exactly alike, right? Looking at it now, we even have the same hair color….”

“Maybe your eyes are crooked. There’s no way I’m as pretty as the Little Mermaid.”

“No, I think it’s pretty?”

“And the little mermaid becomes a bubble and disappears. I hate it.”

thinking back.

I think I was attracted to him.

I think he seemed like an object of admiration to me, who lived in the slums with no proper work and was treated poorly.

In fact, he was our hero.

“What’s wrong with that? You’re not going to disappear from my presence anyway. I don’t want to be alone again, so you have to live with me for a long time.”

The person who said that to me was the first to leave this world.

Such is life in the slums.

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

So we didn’t focus on the name.

“Ah! So, what about the name Ariel? The name Pink is too old-fashioned. Isn’t it a pretty name?”

Ariel.

The name of the Little Mermaid that appears in the movie became my name from that day on.

Starting with him, people in the slums called me Ariel.

But it seemed like I had never called him by his proper name.

Looking back, maybe that’s why I can’t remember his name anymore.

─Ah.

Instead, people in the Nana slum called him by nicknames rather than his name.

“If you smile, good luck will come someday.”

A child who thought endlessly positively.

A hero who was the object of admiration among the people in the slums.

Bright, cheerful, lively.

I, we, gave him a life worth living.

“So try smiling just once. Then the world will look different.”

He was a person who seemed to shine like the sun.

So we called him ‘the sun’.

☆

It’s been four days since setting sail for Yokohama.

On this day, a ship passing through the ocean near Mie Prefecture encountered a large-scale disaster.

As a result, all schedules were canceled and students had to assist the players and battle monsters.

Fortunately, there were no deaths, but there were many injuries.

Eunwoo’s skills have improved a lot.

As soon as he pinpoints the injured area, he immediately starts using healing magic… .

At this time, Cha Eun-woo was active.

Thanks to her accurate and fast magic, the burden on the supporters was greatly reduced.

As a result, she was currently gaining favor with people.

Not only she, but other friends also received rewards from others.

“It seems like time goes by quite quickly. I think I’ll arrive in Yokohama around noon tomorrow….”

Eunha also received a grand thank you.

He was tormented by them until just before the evening roll call.

This night, people went to sleep, leaving the minimum available manpower.

Eunha walked down the hallway to the deck, avoiding people’s gaze.

If I just try to train, it can’t be helped because everyone comes out to watch and it’s hard to concentrate.

Seoyoung-nim also told me to practice in an out-of-the-way place… .

The day before, the day he invented a new magic based on Mana Crasher.

People were shocked when they saw the magic he showed in an instant.

The players gave up their pride and even asked him to pass on the lessons to them.

In the case of the instructors, they spoke with the nuance that they wanted to do their part in perfecting the still-incomplete magic.

There were so many people trying to interfere here and there.

Still, it’s not like there was no income.

There was income.

Although the income was obtained from Shin Seo-young, not from them.

Eunha came out to the stern deck and took out a black thorn tree from its sheath.

Mana Crasher, Improved

A magic that has not yet been named.

By repeating the temporarily chosen name, I intuitively recall the structure of the complex technique.

Eunha confirmed that the light that dyed the black blade blue was emitting yellow light.

It was successful up to this point.

Mana Crasher was created by mixing the mana dissolved in the atmosphere.

And by breathing the mana dissolved in the air back into the blade, he created a completely new magic.

Even the day before, it was difficult to maintain the yellow shape, but thanks to Shin Seo-young’s advice, Eunha was now able to maintain the shape.

The problem is that in the process of maintaining its form, its power has been significantly reduced.

The power of the slash did increase.

It has also become possible to cut down opponents from a distance.

The problem is that it is not very suitable for dealing with large numbers of people.

To put it simply, it was just a slight strengthening of Mana Crasher.

The range has increased and the power has increased somewhat.

Even if it is possible to attack a being that is hit by a slash,

That wasn’t the magic the galaxy was pursuing.

There were at least ten of them, so there was no way to deal with them using current magic.

“What on earth should I do here? Or did I approach it wrong from the beginning….”

I was secretly thinking it would be easy.

Because it wasn’t about creating a completely new magic.

However, I just combined the magic I had already acquired.

But it didn’t work out as well as I thought.

“Like when I first tried it, it seems more effective to explode while the slash breaks in between…”

Eunha removed Shin Seo-young’s advice from the magic she put on the blade.

Then, the mana shimmering on the blade showed an unstable appearance as it could not maintain a certain shape.

In that state, Eunha launched a slash towards the sea.

just as expected.

While the power decreased, the attack range increased significantly.

Eunha clicked her tongue as she saw the magic spreading radially in the middle.

The reason the power decreased was because the form of the slash was not maintained.

However, if you try to maintain the form of a slash, it is not suitable for attacking multiple people… .

And the range isn’t as long as Mana Crasher.

Of course, there was no way.

If the power has decreased, you can increase it. You can increase your mana consumption accordingly.

The problem is that increasing mana consumption is far from the purpose of creating magic that can deal with many people with a small amount of mana.

“In the end, the problem is the mana in the body….”

Mana must be drawn from somewhere.

Eunha, who was lost in thought, suddenly thought of a new plan.

mana drain

Mana Crasher, Improved

There was a burden on mana control.

Nevertheless, the galaxy absorbed the mana dissolved in the atmosphere through mana drain and used it as the power for the magic to reimagine.

The result was successful.

The power has increased compared to before.

Is there nothing better than this?

Still, I feel sorry for something… .

Eunha tried new magic again and again towards the empty sea.

It was at a level that did not meet expectations. Compared to her power, controlling her mana was quite a burden.

So there was no need to use it.

In this case, I’d rather use Mana Crasher multiple times… .

Until I arrived in Yokohama.

I thought it would produce meaningful results, but it ended up being the same thing.

Eunha felt regretful and shook off the remaining mana from the blade.

Right then─.

“─Puh-ha!!”

“uh?”

In a swimming pool specially installed by Sirius Shipping for students to learn water walking.

A figure jumped out.

Because it was a dark night, Eunha had not been paying attention to the swimming pool, but her eyes widened when she suddenly saw Inyoung popping out of the water.

It seemed like the other person also noticed his presence.

“Oh, it’s Roeun. What are you doing at this hour when you’re not sleeping?”

“That’s what I’m going to do.”

Ariel.

Eunha made a shocked face when she saw her casually waving her hand.

He put the black thorn in his sheath and approached the swimming pool.

“Me? I couldn’t sleep, and I thought today was the only day I could swim to my heart’s content. So I snuck out and went swimming!”

There is no such thing as an unexpected person.

Eunha was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe her eyes when she dived and saw her appear from somewhere else.

Gradually, he was able to look into the water and found the silhouette of a fish.

It’s Ariel’s tail.

Mermaid tail.

“Where are you looking like that? Oh, this?”

Ariel, who noticed Eunha’s gaze, casually exposed her tail above the water.

It was a mysterious sky-blue tail, like the scales on both sides of her head.

Eventually, she put her tail into the water and swam surprisingly fast, unlike the skills she had shown so far.

“You’re not surprised at all? I was surprised when I first found out about this.”

“Ain has a tail, so there’s no reason for me to be surprised.”

“Hmm… that’s true.”

Ariel’s gift <Beast>.

She was able to manifest mana in the water and turn her legs into a mermaid’s tail.

That’s not all.

What she showed was only a part of <Beast>.

Jinparang, who used the same gift, only transformed part of the body, not the entire body.

In that sense, her control ability could be said to be excellent.

Although Blue was originally a fool in this regard… .

Transforming only part of the body without being eaten by the beast’s wild nature is a technique that requires considerable control.

I wouldn’t have even learned it separately.

His eyes lit up as he saw her using the gift reliably.

“Utcha!”

Before I knew it, she had come up to the swimming pool.

She came out of the water, holding the edge of the bottom with both hands, and turned to sit down.

The tail that was splashing in the water gradually returns to human legs.

“Of course, swimming is the best thing to do when you’re in a good mood! Isn’t that right?”

Ariel speaking to Eunha standing behind her.

She squeezed her wet hair to get the moisture out.

The dark pink hair seemed to turn red when wet.

Likewise, her eyes were very red as she glanced back at Eunha.

She grinned at him as if she was lusting for his blood.

Then, as if she had already brought it, she reached out and searched through the bag lying nearby.

A green glass bottle came out.

“braided!”

“Where did you get that from?”

“Today, I asked the players’ sisters and brothers to give it to me. Isn’t this what comradeship is all about?”

“This guy is crazy. He’s trying to drink during the review period….”

“But am I the kind of person who can’t live without dew?”

“…….”

The sight of her holding the neck of the bottle and shaking the soju bottle looks somewhat pitiful.

Eunha frowned when she saw Ariel gulping down soju from a bottle.

I emptied a bottle by myself in one go.

“Wow, you don’t know how depressed I was throughout the review because I didn’t have this.” “What’s wrong with being depressed… Drink slowly. Is the kid blowing on the bottle?”

“I’m depressed, right? I’m a person whose sensitivity explodes to an earth-shattering level at night.”

“Oh my.” “Even if it’s real”

Are you saying this as a joke?

Or is he really speaking sincerely?

Eunha looked at Ariel.

She met his gaze and did not avoid his gaze, but instead lifted a new bottle as if provoking him.

“How about a glass of soju at night?”

“Is that one drink?”

“A soju drinking device with lonely me? If anything, let’s drink together. I don’t like drinking alone.” “Ugh….”

Ariel throws a tantrum.

Eunha sighed.

In fact, he was also tempted to drink.

I just couldn’t drink it because I didn’t have it.

I was glad to hear her suggestion.

“Okay, okay. But before that—.”

“Really? Okay, okay. What is it, what is it?”

Before that, there is something I should point out.

Eunha looked at Ariel quietly and continued speaking.

“—Why don’t you put some clothes on first?” “Ah, that’s right. Hey, you can just drink what you saw anyway….”

“Okay, I’m going to sleep now.”

“Okay! Then get me some clothes.”

I don’t know why there are so many crazy people at the party.

Eunha, who was probably the craziest of them all, sighed.
