Chapter 135
No idea if anyone didn't get this part but in regards to Bel's Shooting Intuition. The bonus is a % correction/adjustment, not a hit rate bonus. So even if it's 100% it's not 100% chance of hitting, but it's better to think of it how in some FPS the cursor changes in size to match the range where the bullet will deviate within. Bonuses to correction = smaller range of deviation.
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 30
After we all finished dinner, I told the slaves to go and receive the equipment of {Bright Blade} that is supposed to be returned to us tomorrow. If there's anything of good quality then it would be fine to just use it like that as well. I'm pretty sure there was banded-mail and ring-mail included in the armor as well. In addition to purchasing some new leather armor for the members who's has started to damage it would probably be good to make use of those.
After dinner, I paid the salves their wages for this month and after they separated from us, I pulled along Ralpha and Gwine who wanted to go drinking and we returned to "Boil Manor". And then, once again we all gathered in my room.
"I thought we should talk a bit more about things with only the people who know the details a bit deeper. It's about Unique Abilities."
I sip at some bean tea while switching the topic to Unique Abilities and everyone in the room that was pointlessly chatting until then quieted down and looked at me.
"Nn~ this is extremely difficult to talk about...Well just listen."
I guess there was something that they didn't get with my way of putting it, everyone was making slightly mysterious faces.
"Including organizing it, I guess I'll talk about it once more...We were all born on the same day, in the year 7428. It's the same day we died as well. It was an accident and if we died instantly then it's only obvious. Though there might be people who didn't die instantly as well but I can't say anything in that regards. I can't imagine that every one of the victims in that accident died instantly after all. It wouldn't be strange for some of the people to have died in the hospital...It could be possible that only the people who died instantly were reincarnated to this Orth, though that might not be the case either."
"Haven't we already talked about that quite a bit already?"
Ralpha said that. Certainly it's quite late to be mentioning it.
"That's true. However..It seems that the only ones who reincarnated to Orth isn't just those of us who became victims in that accident."
After I said that and Ralpha opened her mouth shocked while looking at me. Everyone else is in a pretty similar state.
"Obviously I think you'll find it strange right. Why I know something like that."
I continue my words after seeing everyone slowly nod.
"We talked about it a bit yesterday night but..Obviously that's not all of the story. First, I guess I should start talking about it in sequence based on the dates...However, listen well, there's no guarantee the things I'm about to talk about are correct. Even the things I heard could be fake. But, for the most part I think there's conformity in the things I heard. First, things started 1,300 years ago. It might have started even further back than that or might have really been 1,300 years ago. I personally think it's just one story in a history of things that's continued since even further in the past."
I looked around at everyone before opening my mouth.
"1,300 years ago a single Japanese person reincarnated to Orth. However, they weren't a Japanese person from 1,300 years ago. They were a person who lived in the same era as us. They were a woman named Lilus and an Elf. She was born in a place far to the East of here, a country of Elves that no longer exists. I'm sure that woman had the same sort of confusion and conflicts as all of us but somehow or other she was able to adapt and she probably had a considerably amount of luck as well. She was safely able to become an adult, get married, and have a child. The child grew up a bit..around the time it turned two years old she was out hunting together with the girls of the village. Several days later, when Lilus returned to her village from hunting the scene she saw was her village trampled by an invading army of a nearby country and all of the villagers killed including her family."
Gwine's eyes went wide while she's holding her mouth.
"She pledged to get revenge and centered around the survivors of the village organized a resistance. I don't know the specific details but I think things would have been pretty difficult. It seems that she spent countless years and finally was able to destroy the country that invaded."
Zenom has his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he patiently listens to the story.
"Around that time the only survivor from her village was just Lilus. I'm sure all the other people must have lost their lives in the fights up until then. And, I don't know how, or why but it seems that either as reparations or as a reward for that she gained eternal youth. Supposedly she wasn't immortal...Hey, don't look at me with such suspicious eyes. I still haven't finished."
Ralpha took a pose exactly like Zenom and was looking at me with a questionable expression.
"And then, it seems she ended up marrying a different man who was also eternally young. I don't really know when this happened. And, it seems that the partner she married wanted a child but she wasn't able to have a child. It seems that husband even tried to kill Lilus in a maddened rage...Yeah, that's right, he's an insane bastard. However, since she felt that she was in danger she ended up turning the tables on and killing him."
Bel is nodding with a serious face. For her breasts to ride on her crossed arms..as expected. It might have just been my imagination but Toris seemed uncomfortable. You, could it be you said something to Bel?
"Just like I explained at the start, Lilus was on the Eastern side of the Oladd continent but it seems after that she moved to the West. And then we skip ahead a bit in time. It was about 700-800 years ago from now, so I guess around 400-500 years after she was born..It seems that some Gods with power named Sharaizudan and Nelal died. Eh? I don't know why they died. In any case, it seems that it took the shape of her inheriting the deaths of those two Gods and she turned into a {Demi-God}. That time, she supposedly turned into a Dark Elf..This is nothing more than my imagination but I think that maybe Lilus killed those two Gods."
Zenom suddenly opened his eyes and then closed them again.
