Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 13 - The Troubling Child
"It should be a little while before they arrive." I just sat idly and threw a bag of money containing 55 Platina coins.
Ugh, bringing this much money is really fun. I'll get hooked later!
I've been brewing tea before, and it shouldn't be cold until they all come.
By the way, our meeting point is the culvert, because I think this is the most hidden meeting place.
I feel a little guilty for leaving mom alone for a long time, but how else.
"What's first, Uncle Kurls? Looks like he made it." I got ready, opened the door.
"Welcome, uncle Kurls. Looks like uncle succeeded without any shortage of one, huh? I remember uncle saying this was hard." I smiled, then looked at the child in his carrier.
There's a little bit of pleasure I don't see the sack here.
"Well, that's thanks to the information you provided, Mr. Ren. I can infiltrate and get out easily." she replied while putting Thui to sleep in a comfortable place.
"Sit down first, uncle Kurls. I've made some tea." I'm giving you the tea I just made.
"Thank you, Ren. And also, I'll tell you a little bit about what happened. You want to hear that, don't you?" uncle immediately guessed my way of thinking.
"As expected of Uncle Kurls!"
"So, indeed thanks to your information, I can avoid the traps that exist. But obviously there's a lot of" yahh the point is like that.
We chatted quite a lot, until finally the others arrived.
It's getting dark, but I don't know why they're late.
"Welcome. I've reheated tea for you. So, please rest." I prepared a seat for Edna and Aina's tired-looking brother.
Have they not realized Thui's existence? No no! That's impossible, isn't it?
"Whoa! Who'sis this?! Don't you, this is the kid you told Uncle Kurls to kidnap, Ren?" I pull my word.
"Yes. It was Thui Ravinder. All of a sudden" I heard the clench slowly.
Uwahh, how exactly the moment that appeared, because it seemed like Thui had started to wake up!
I immediately changed my appearance to "Shinigami", and began to advance closer to him.
"All right, friend. Let me take over here. I'll explain why we need this so much!" I started to approach Thui.
"Uwahh your appearance is really terrible, Ren." I just kept quiet to let Brother Edna respond.
He looked at me confused, then looked at uncle Kurls.
"Why, why did you kidnap me?" he just asked flatly. I don't know why that makes him so quiet here, but let it be.
"alright. I'm sorry I scared you for a while. My name is Shin. First of all, it would be better for me to explain the root of the problem." I lowered my head politely.
"don't want. You're a bad guy." he answered quickly.
"Eh?" I can't help but make a stupid sound like this.
"Yes. The one who kidnapped me, and the one who lied about his name was not a good person! How can I trust a person who doesn't even want to mention his real name?" he screamed while looking away.
"Excuse me?"
This kid, how did he know? That aside, he's so clever! Is this what caused his calm? It is possible that this plan is known!
Besides, what the hell is with the mention of the name "I? It's hideous!
"Ahh, don't pretend to be stupid, emm Shin! Wrong, that's not your name. Umm Shinigami! Nope. Adventurer Nier! Eh no! Ren! Yep! Ren!" he screamed with his waist, pointing at me.
Waitaminute! How did he know all that? He even mentioned almost all of my pseudonyms!
I never even told anyone that!
"Huff. How many pseudonyms do you have? And again, I'm confused what race you are. It's really confusing." she walked down from the couch, and walked like an adult.
"Tu-tu-wait Ren! You know him?" Suzu shouted in disbelief.
"I should and she have no relationship at all, never even met or in the same place in this form of Shinigami." I explained.
"Indeed right! But I've met Edna's mother, and another one named Nina! And of course, with you, Adventurer Nier!" he pointed back at me.
What kind of style is that? Are you playing detective drama?!
"alright. Time to introduce yourself. My name is-"
"Humm Aina's. Please tell her your problem. I'm sure he'll help. I was getting tired." I immediately cut him off as he started to close one eye and chant the chuunibyou sound.
"Good!" Aina only respects.
"Tu-wait! I'm not finished!" he started chasing me.
Ahh, dealing with people like that really makes me remember the past, and it makes me dizzy!
I left the place, with some screaming in there. Well, I can only pray that the others are okay.
"alright. It's late, maybe it's time for me to go to the Guild, isn't it?" I walked slowly, remaining in the form of a Shinigami.
I haven't talked much with Aina's group because of Thui's problem just now.
"Huff. Apparent, we've got Thui here. And the next step was just me having to move, and with some encouragement from Aina this would work." I re-thought the plan.
"alright. It's time to get to the next stage, huh?"
