"This, where?" Ren started to wake up from his stupor. He was certain that he was in the forest before, with a terrible state of being overused with magic.
And now, when he wakes up he's in the room, and that's his room.
Ren started to get up, changing positions to sit. He felt something warm in his left hand. There is Edna, the third child of the Larvest family who is asleep on Ren's left hand.
Actually, the one who found and brought Ren back after fainting in the forest was Edna.
He replaces Ruly who can't go anywhere because it's holding Seiurd, so Edna immediately catches up with Ren.
He knew that Ren was swimming through the river with that swift current.
He even follows Ren to the "Tea Paradise" store". So, practically he already knew everything.
Before this incident, he had been following Ren for a long time, because he was curious about Ren.
He also already knew, that Ren was a human because he was already 8 years old, which meant that he had already entered the Basic Academy.
Edna is also arguably a talented person, because the amount of MP is basically not much different from Suzu.
And mastery of its elements was also quite rare in this world.
Edna was already suspicious of Ren, but she had yet to find anything that convinced her.
Like he had infiltrated Ren's room near the library, but he only found Ren lying down, seemingly asleep.
Though Ren is doing the "ritual" he usually does in the library.
Edna was on the scene when Ren cast his magic as hard as he could.
And after witnessing all that, Edna now did not hesitate anymore.
He brought the fainted Ren back home.
"Am I healed?" Ren asked quietly as he got out of bed, leaving Edna behind.
Edna seemed to be fast asleep, because even she was unconscious when she carried Ren to climb onto Ren's bed, giving him a blanket.
Ren who was still a bit confused was still a little unable to think. He only looked at his disguise uniform that he had used earlier that was lying on the table with a few patches of blood.
Ren was a little surprised. He ran to the bathroom located inside his room, different from the other rooms in this house.
"A-I, still in Shinigami mode?" Ren was a little confused.
He also thought he had gotten the [Change] skill and [Replacement] he immediately understood, that the skill had a permanent effect.
"My hair is still black. And if I see it again, this is my previous self. So I reincarnated with my face the previous world? I thought I'd change a little here." He muttered slowly when he saw his face in the reflection of water.
The body is not completely clean. There were still some patches of blood that had not been cleaned, but Ren easily cleaned it himself.
He was also just wearing a subordinate of the black suit he wore last night.
"Uwahh, it's fresh!" Ren walked out slowly after taking a shower. But, looking at the uniform with blood spots in front of her eyes, she became a little uneasy.
"Then," Ren prepared, pointing his hand towards the uniform, making it clean instantly.
"Ahh, if he was the previous world, this is life magic, right? Usually his name is [Clean] huh? Maybe I'd better name it that way." Ren nodded slowly.
As a matter of fact, he could use that magic on himself, but clearly he didn't want to.
And according to him, it's not what's called a bath.
Chequek!
The door to the room is open. Ren was quite surprised by that. It looks like Ruly brought a pot of tea plus hot water. Probably intend to brew it here.
He also brought a few glasses plus a tray.
Ruly was also a little surprised when she saw Ren who was standing looking at her sharply.
"Ah Ren's! You're conscious, aren't you?!" Ruly immediately ran, like throwing a tray at the dining table, and hugged Ren.
"Thank God! I thought, I thought you were! She cried out in tears hugging Ren who was still frozen.
Right now, Ren was in his own trouble, as he was completely unable to breathe due to being tightly hugged by Ruly.
"I told you to be careful!" Ruly shouted while holding onto both of Ren's shoulders.
Ren smiled releasing both of Ruly's hands from his shoulders.
Even so, his breathing was still a little short-lived.
"I always remember that! And also, I was always careful! In fact, I was not hit by any enemy attack at all. If you don't believe it," Ren slowly turned his head towards Edna who was still asleep.
"I'll wake him up!" Said Ruly as she moved immediately towards Edna. But Ren stopped him.
"Leave it. I know he must be exhausted from last night treating me so hard." Ren also knew how bad the wound was.
"It's pretty amazing that he didn't run out of MP last night, making me make a full recovery like this." Ren walked slowly while wearing a different daily clothes.
Usually, Ren wears the typical Larvest family outfit, which has some special lace. But he wears clothes as usual if he's alone.
"Yes. Youre right. You were hurt really bad when you got here. It's lucky that Edna has space magic and can get you in her room to slow things down." Clearly Rule.
Space magic is one of Edna's abilities. And his space magic was rather special, as it could put people into it.
Whereas usually, people or other living beings cannot enter into ordinary space magic.
Ren who heard that was immediately interested.
"Space magic?!" Ren's eyes were rounded.
Yep. The element he still faintly used was the space element. In other words, he could not imagine how that Space Magic formed.
"Ah, eh?!" Edna woke up because of the crowded atmosphere in the room at that time.
"Why are there so many people here? Uhh! Why am I in bed? What about Ren? Or don't don't, I'm beating him?!" Edna shouted slowly when she realized her position.
"Stupid!" Ruly shook her head.
"Look around you first before thinking weird!" Said Ruly while shaking her waist.
Edna turned her head to the right and left, looking at the present situation. He saw Ren waving his hand with a smile.
"Yo, brother Edna. Thank you so much for last night, yes! I would have died if there wasn't you!" Ren was honest.
"Any Ren!" Edna stood up immediately.
He began to hold onto both of Ren's shoulders, shaking him.
"How did you use that magic! Explain me! Why is your hair black? Explain it! Explain it!" Edna shook Ren's body violently, causing him to experience dizziness.
"I also want to know what happened." Ruly responds to Edna, who still shakes Ren.
"For the first time, can you let me go, brother Edna?" Ren's eyes began to turn, not in the middle.
"Ahh, sorry."
"okay." Ren shook his head slowly.
"Secondly, how is Suzu doing now? I'd kill myself if my efforts last night were in vain." Ren expressed his disappointment in extreme terms.
"Hey! In that case, I will also kill myself because my healing will be in vain!" Shouted Edna chiming.
"Hey hey! Nobody killed themselves, okay! Suzu is fine. The story goes, he was saved by a fugitive thief. So, that thief seemed like he was going to be given some presents." Ruly explained while slightly goosebumps.
"Huh Soeye?" Ren muttered slowly while chanting the [Change] skill to change his hair color back to white.
"You know?" Rule.
"Yes. When I get in there, I need someone to be able to bring Suzu and the other tang." Obviously Ren.
"ah! That girl you caged?" Shouts of Edna arrived.
"Eh?!"
"Yes! You caught him in the woods, didn't you? Then you overcame him and held both his hands. I was quite wondering what you were doing back then." Edna.
And of course, it creates misunderstandings.
"More!!"
Ruly's gaze became sharp. In fact, Ren's weapon last night was sharply outmatched from Ruly's gaze now.
"Y-yes, he ran aimlessly. I also had no choice but to report it forcibly. Hum. There's no other choice." Ren closed his eyes while nodding slowly.
"All right! Let's just say your story is true, and then can you tell me what happened last night?" Said Ruly as she began to sit at the table.
Ren knew that, then took the tea supplies that were brought by Ruly earlier.
He began to brew it, making it fit his taste.
Because basically one of Ren's hobbies is drinking tea.
"How about we have tea together? I also prepared a delicious tea!" Ren tried to distract.
"Especially, a morning like this is indeed suitable for tea." Ren said again, letting Edna sit down.
They all smiled, knowing it was not a suggestion, but an order. Although Ren's face was smiling, in his heart he told.
"alright. How's it?" Edna tidied up her shoulder-length green hair after sitting.
Ren took a breath. He knew this was the biggest secret of his life.
But how else, the two of them already knew, even Edna herself had seen Ren use Magic easily.
Ren begins to tell her how he escaped, and then changes his name. She also changed her hair color.
But Edna cut in.
"No wait. I already know all that! Please tell me when you went into that cave!" Sela Edna's. Although he is actually a shy person, he almost never talks to people.
But once he found something that he found interesting, he seemed to change character. Not even Ren and Ruly had seen Edna in this mediation.
"No. Brother Ruly doesn't know that yet" Ren said
Suddenly Ren realized something.
"And so did Edna," Ren stopped his words in the middle of the road and walked slowly towards Edna.
"Did? Whahuh? Wh-kayaaah!"
Edna screamed as Ren reached in front of her face, holding her head while showing a zombie-like face.
"You even knew it was there, but didn't intend to help?!" Ren really scared her now.
"OK okay! I-i'm sorry! I can only follow you outside" Edna replied unwillingly to face Ren and in a quiet voice.
"Heeehhh," Ren gave a cynical look of disbelief.
"Alright fine! I'm afraid to go inside tofu! So I'm just on guard outside." Edna screaming.
He immediately racked his brain in search of a suitable reason.
"And, and, oh yeah! I'm taking care of you! Who knows if such an unexpected event happened, I can take you home!" Edna shouted happily when she found a good reason.
"Hmm, okay. Maybe that's enough." Ren closed his eyes while crossing his hands on his chest.
Edna took a sigh of relief, then they laughed together.
"alright. I'll continue." Ren said.
He continues when Ren meets Soeye, asking her to help him in his assault.
In fact, Ren was afraid that their response would change when he found out that he had destroyed the entire place.
"I'm a little interested in the statue, though," Edna doesn't just focus on something that catches her eye.
As Ren had expected.
"Hum. You destroyed them all their headquarters, didn't you? That nice. If you can, root them!" Ruly encouraged Ren.
Strange enough, but not by the standards of this world. The laws of this world are still not going well, so there is still the law of the jungle, who is strong, he is in power.
Ren breathed a sigh of relief when everything he imagined was not happening.
But according to him, they were not too focused on his cruelty, but focused on the sect itself.
"But by the way, why are you getting hurt so badly? From your story, you didn't get an attack, did you? But I see your wounds so badly, that even some of your internal organs are dangerous." Ruly wonder.
"Even if I see you getting winded from your own magic, but I'm sure you won't get hurt that deep, will you?" Edna says.
Right now Edna is really enthusiastic.
"Wait for Edna! Has your character always been like this?" Ren sneered a little.
All the salaing looked at him, then looked towards Edna. While Ruly held back her laughter.
"Alright! It's up to you! Answer my question!" Edna shouted while taking her teacup.
Ren just shook his head.
"Hmm, you already know, that I have a lot of Fehl compared to a normal kid, don't you?" Ren asked slowly, while turning his gaze into seriousness.
"Heh?! Doesn't it?! I don't know this yet! Being able to use magic alone was already very shocking! And now, your Fehl reserves are over the top?!" Shouted Edna moving her hands at the table.
Again, Ren looked at Ruly, seeing Edna who was very enthusiastic about this.
"Ahh, you don't know yet, do you?" Asked Ruly with a plain face.
"How else, I rarely talk to him." Ren replied with a blind eye, putting on a look of regret.
They were silent for a moment, before Ren finally continued.
"Yahh, that's. I have far more Fehl than you. And that makes trouble for me right now. You know, don't you? The more Fehl you are, the more Fehl leaks, sometimes forming an aura of its own." Ren began his explanation.
"Ahh, yes. Sometimes we can feel the opponent's Fehl only through the air" Edna responded.
"Nahh, all this time, my Fehl was leaking slowly, and if it was too much, it would damage my body. In other words, if I use magic, the present me only kills myself." Ren crossed his arms.
Everyone fell silent, thinking of Ren's explanation.
"Whatchu mean? It's not like you can use magic normally in practice, is it?" Tanya Ruly was astonished.
"Ahh, yes. You guys know there's a patron in the Larvest family estate?" Ren took turns sipping his lemon tea.
(Indeed right. I slightly forgot but I got a report that the barrier quality became stronger.) Ruly nodded in silence.
"Don't you?!" Edna shouted breaking the silence.
"Yes! As you think. It seems like I accidentally strengthened this barrier!" Ren just smiled in response to them.
It was actually like the mutual relationship between Ren and this barrier, as this barrier absorbed Fehl's excess, making Ren fine when casting magic, and this barrier also grew stronger.
"A-ah, it feels like my common sense is moving away when I'm with you." Said Ruly while laughing.
They looked happy, but Edna seemed to want to say something. He looked down, with a slightly troubled look.
"L-anu!" Edna screaming.
Actually, it was Edna who had been following Ren, because she wanted Ren to train her.
She was the daughter of Larvest who had a large Fehl reserve, and could even use the 3 magic elements in this world.
Unfortunately, the magic he could use was arguably not very useful. Edna can use elements of light, ice, and space.
In fact, it was all a very rare thing, but if it was all on one person, it was considered useless.
"What's up, Edna?" Ren responded to Edna's troubled face.
"Can you" said Edna disconnected.
Geck!
The door was knocked, before it finally opened. There was a person with a stern face, but from his eyes radiated kindness and gentleness.
All who were there were shocked, where they had an unexpected guest.
And again, it was someone of high standing.
"Good morning, my name is Childe Royze. It's good to see you guys." Childe stepped in slowly, while restraining her bodyguards and telling them to return.
The atmosphere becomes tense, especially when Ren remembers that he is one of the fathers of the kidnapped child's son.
(What is a Shinigami? He looked similar to what I saw at the time. Just her hair is different, right?) Childe sat in silence.
"I want to talk to you alone, Ren Larvest!"
