After soothing down Rikkchan who suddenly started crying, I was finally able to leave their house.
Even if she said that it wasn"t my fault, it was after saying that I will become an adventurer when she started bawling, so even if it wasn"t really my fault I would still feel sorry about it.
Still, I"m beat, was it a little too early to say that to her.
After all, it"s about a good friend of mine moving away, I probably won"t know what to say and would feel really lonely about the news.
『Heartbreak, Mistress sure is dull when it comes to things like this』
「I see」
『Well anyway, are you free now? It"s probably just the right time for us to talk about things』
「Nn, I understand」
I still have a lot of time before sundown, and I also want to know who she is or what I really am. I then moved to a rocky area far away from the village so that no one would see me.
「This place, is it fine here」
『Yup, in the first place, it won"t really matter where we are』
「Don"t read my mind, still preparing myself」
『Fufufu, you as interesting as I have always thought, then will you also be not secretive to me now? 』
「……Will allow it, only today」
Doppelganger, I still don"t know if she"s a dangerous existence. While I am having conflicted thoughts about her, Doppelganger lifted the hem of her dress and bow down like a n.o.ble lady.
『Well then, I will first introduce myself, I was known as the 12th generation Demon Lord, Helvetia Eldonis Ruinglach』
「Demon Lord!? 」
『Umu, Feel free to call me Helvetisama』
Helvetia then puffs herself up doing a dignified pose with her hair swaying down. Even if she had a different atmosphere, her looks is a complete copy of mine other than her eyes that is painted gold.
『And so, Who are you』
「Toto」
『You do know that what I"m asking is not your current name, right? 』
「……don"t know」
Who am I, such a simple question, yet I don"t know how to answer it, I also don"t really want to think about it.
All I know is that I reincarnated, but I wonder what exactly happened to in my previous world? At the moment I still don"t have any recollections about it, but I do know that this is not my body and is also different from the past me, also the possibility of me returning to that world is already zero.
Then it will be much easier to just forget about it altogether, and about not knowing anything about myself, it"s also okay.
『You don"t know anything is it, I also didn"t know but they might have done something for me to end up in this vessel, but why can"t you remember your name!』
「Wait, what do you mean, you know the reason?」
『Mu, isn"t this because of your strange power? 』
「Maybe, don"t know, tell me about it」
『Alright』
Helvetia raised her hand and pointed it to me then made, then after tapping her cheeks a bit she began speaking.
『There are several conditions that was set before I execute my reincarnation. One, is to be born in a safe place with no obstructions, two, to be born as a demon race, and finally, it should be a child without a soul or a living child with its soul taken out』
I can understand why Helvetia said about the first and second condition. Though you could consider this village to be out in the frontier, it is still a considerably safe place, and what bothered me was the third condition about it being a living child.
「Third condition, alive right now」
『Indeed, but at the same time it is strange. Even if I verify it with my magic eyes, you are indeed alive and growing. But those blood red eyes is unmistakably the eyes of an undead, for some unknown reason, you were reincarnated on a stillborn child that was revived』
「Eh, this body, dead? 」
『Not really dead, but something like《Living but at the same time Dead》 and normally an undead doesn"t grow or have the ability to grow, adding to that is your strange soul. Perhaps you will be considerably stronger in comparison to normal people or even strong people, but right now your soul is in a fragile state and still needs to adapt some more, so be careful or you will die』
「Hmm, Unnn, umm, well, what do you mean?」
『Hmmm…… It"s just a conclusion of mine but, you probably because you reincarnated to this stillborn child, you could say that it is still on the borderline of death and still doesn"t recognize you as its proper soul, also because of some unknown reason I was also encased in this body along with you』
「Is it possible to do that? 」
『If it"s me then I can"t do it, I do know the procedures to achieve reincarnation, and as you can see with me existing here that it is possible. Another thing is that the flow of power in Mistress"s body is strange. Even I need to train for 10 years to finely tune my magic power to the same level as yours now 』
Well, in short, because of some unfortunate events, I was reincarnated in a stillborn child and revived it and as a bonus to that, even Helvetia"s soul got dragged in to my reincarnation and we now share the same body. No, it was more like Helvetia was confined in my body, but it was still fine because she has no intention of taking over my mind and body. But what I"m more concerned about is why I can"t use magic, and if I try studying about it, will I be able to use it?
「Magic, right, Can I use magic? 」
『You, although you are a reincarnated individual, don"t you know something that obvious? Oh, right, you did say that you can"t remember your name from a while ago, you also don"t remember about this? 』
「Uh, Un, right, didn"t know about it」
『……Fumu, now that I think about it, you had a bad memory loss that you can"t even remember speech or reading letters, right? 』
It is somewhat true and at the same time a small bit of lie is included, after all I have knowledge that doesn"t belong to this world. I should probably tell Helvetia about this at some other time, but I decided that there is no reason for me to reveal it today.
『In the first place, magic is something that all creatures possess. How the way it flows and the amount of power one could hold will vary depending on the individual』
「Then, Magic, can I use it? 」
『Well, in your case…… the magic flow is too strange and unique, so it"s impossible for you to use it』
「What do you mean? 」
『About that you see, for a normal flow of power, magic would usually circulate in and out of the body, the magic that could flow outside could then be converted into various kinds of effects. But in your case, the magic is only circulating inside your body as if it was blood and doesn"t go outside, because of that you can"t generate any magic phenomena, even for me, a magic specialist, it"s my first time seeing such a strange flow』
「Umm, I don"t understand」
『I see…… In simple terms, there are two main usage of magic, first is to let magic power flow outside and create a phenomena, and second is the ability to enhance physical power by making it flow inside the body. Normally, this process is separated into two halves for a normal person and the inside or outside would vary on the mastery of a person.』
As Helvetia explains, she draws a human shape figure with some kind of light magic in the air. I was surprised that you could also do such things with magic and the picture was really cute.
『Magic Power that is flowing outside is what you would need in order to activate Magic. When magic is activated, the magic power that was released outside the body would react with several factors including the Magic Power in the air to generate the magic, and this is replenished when the body naturally absorbs Magic Power in the atmosphere』
This is probably that so called MP that they talk about.
『Also in reverse, magic strengthening requires Magic Power to flow inside the body which strengthen ones physical abilities, and since the body doesn"t normally produce magic power when used like this, although the Magic is not lost, it also doesn"t improve much if the current amount is already fixed, it still needs to flow out at some point』
「I see, my strength, because of Magic Power? 」
『Hmm, in your case, it is slightly different, your Magic Power is constantly flowing inside your whole body, and there is zero amount flowing out』
「Then, this Magic Power, can I use it? 」
『Oh, it won"t be impossible to manipulate it, but it would still be impossible in your current state. Complex and Strange, that is how I would describe your current flow』
Well, I have been living in a world that have nothing to do with magic. But well, because of this Magic Power that I have superhuman abilities. I also want to know if how big my Magic Power is in comparison to that of a normal Human is.
「Umm, my Magic Power, is it a lot? 」
『It"s comparable to my own, at the same time different, because of your soul』
「comparable to Helvetia」
『Haah, isn"t that great. The reason for your hair to inherit your previous characteristics is also because of this, on the other hand our magic power is almost the same, and the reason for this is probably because you and I reincarnated in the same body, it could also be just a natural effect of such fusion』
「But you see, can"t see Magic Power」
『That huh, that"s because you still can"t completely control your Magic Power. Well, there are a lot of people who could not detect《Magic Power》 and those who could manipulate it without seeing it. Even strong magic users are included to this group and it didn"t really hinder them not being able to see Magic Power.』
「Is that so」
I could only sigh because my path on becoming a magic user seems harsh, and Helvetia could only sigh looking at my disappointment.
『You know, Mistress don"t really need to be bothered by that, as for me, even if I did successfully reincarnate, I was only ended up lurking on your body, I did my best to fine-tuning my magic to communicate with you in ten years, and in the end, it only resulted in communicating with a reincarnate that knows nothing about the world or her own self. Even if you start training right now, it would still take a very long time for you to be able to control your Magic Power.』
「About that, sorry」
『Don"t mind it. Even if you can"t control it at the moment, you are still being strengthened by it. I also am enjoying my time being a bystander as I watch your daily shenanigans』
「Can"t be helped, a bit unpleasant though」
『You are such a greedy personー! Think about it, even if I want to take over Mistress, I"m not able to, I can"t even get out of this body on my own accord!』
「Wawawa, can"t be helped right, I possible I"ll help, but don"t know how to help」
After getting angry, Helvetia murmured when she thought about something. Although it was a really silent murmur, I could clearly hear it because of my reinforced body.
『If I use that method, then maybe I could……』
I waited for her to continue, but Helvetia stopped murmuring and only thought about it, then closed her eyes and shook her head a little.
