Day [Life]: Incarnation
A Night of Solitude and Magic Experiments

"The fruit!! Mama!! Papa!!"

When we got near the train, Meli got out of the carriage and ran to hug us both in tears.

"Ah, we're back."

While stroking the head of Meli who had sunk her face into the two of us.

"Ah, thank goodness you're okay. Meli was so worried that she cried all day."

"Ah... Forgive us for bothering again..."

Zena apologized for her own actions.

"There's no need to apologize, after all the dragon's done."

Uncle Kai smiled warmly as if he was keeping Meli like his grandson.

Judging from his age, uncle Kai was 40 years old. He became a merchant when he was 17 years old. He became a merchant.

"You must be tired, right? This I've made some cooking with Meli."

"Ah... Thanks..."

Zena receives a bowl of Soup from uncle Kai. I also accept it.

Zena and I sat down and ate it. Smoke came out of the soup as it was still warm. Looks like Uncle Kai persuaded Meli not to cry.

"How does it feel? Must be weird, huh...? I'm not good at cooking.."

Uncle Kai scratched his head then sat down by the campfire. Meli leaned her head against Zena's thigh who was eating the soup.

"No, it's really good."

Zena said it to uncle Kai as a thank you for taking good care of Meli.

"Well... It was Meli who helped me so it was probably a compliment to Meli."

"No, this is also a favor from uncle Kai so I have to thank you."

Zena thanked me for helping to take care of Meli once again.

And finally Zena and I had a little chat with Uncle Kai. There's not much to talk about, but he's happy to be able to talk to young people like us. Well, I don't hate him. The atmosphere was calm so I liked it.

"Ah, I'm sleepy..."

Uncle Kai ended the conversation with that remark and then yawned.

"Then leave the night vigil to the two of us, uncle Kai rest."

"Ah but..."

"It's okay, Zena and I will be on guard."

I persuaded Uncle Kai to go to bed. Don't forget to get Meli in the car. She had fallen asleep with her cute sleeping face.

"Ah, okay. I'll take Meli inside...."

Uncle Kai carried Meli and carried her into the carriage. Uncle Kai also then fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Now it's just the two of us. Accompanied by a bonfire that is still burning. The sound of night animals sounds like crickets, the sound of leaves moving due to the wind, and small animals active at night.

Since the incident, the villagers have decided to stay in the town of Yuma. Some citizens chose to become adventurers, and the rest became farmers in the city. The village has been abandoned, it might be good to build a house around the village although it will be difficult when you need help.

"Ano... About last day, I'm sorry..."

Zena started the topic by discussing this afternoon. Maybe he feels bad?

"Hm? No problem."

I answered him casually. Then a little bit of avert my eyes.

"Actually..."

Zena said it hesitantly as if she was reluctant to say it.

"....."

He then fell silent in silence then took his breath deep and exhaled.

"That incident, because I'm afraid of that return...."

"hm? "That"? Whatchu mean?"

I asked without thinking about his feelings.

"Ah, no, I'll sleep first... Luke, please take care of us while we sleep."

Zena hurriedly went into the car. I only put on a confused face when he was acting strangely like that...

"Have a good rest."

He had time to say it before entering the train in which there is Meli. Uncle Kai just slept in the coachman's place...

"What does he mean by "That."?"

I threw some pebbles at the campfire muttering.

'She must be hiding something from me.' I thought while then giving up while sighing in annoyance. Which then begins to dream about Zena's mysterious past.

'Ahhh!!! Free! I'm just complicating my mind!!' My words in my mind. I then just let out an upset breath.

"For now it looks like I'm going to get a little bored..."

I muttered to myself because I was alone.

"Maybe experimenting would be a little better?"

Because now I have a lot of free time. There was actually nothing to worry about the monsters around since the magic [Mapping] had already given its role. By the way this afternoon I forgot to use that magic to check the state of the village, so I checked it with a manual and ended up being assisted by another adventurer.

"I think my level has increased a little, even though I can't fight the black dragon."

As expected of a dragon... His level may exceed mine. Back then my level was already determined from the game so right now maybe my level had not increased at all. And the possibility of the dragon being slightly above my level. Even so, his skill was very troublesome.

In the WWO game only demonic creatures have skills. Skill is an ability like magic but without a spell. Like for example Magic [Fireball], you have to call the spell the name of magic itself. That way, the body will respond and then will remove it using MP.

"Huf.. I'll try what ya..."

Unlike for [Mapping] magic, this magic can only be activated when the user closes his eyes and then focuses on spreading his magic energy or what we call MP. The method, when the magic collides with the magic belonging to another person or another being, it will react which then sends a short signal to the owner of the magic.

"Ah, I'll try the 'it.' magic on the demon creatures here."

I then stood up and locked up a horned rabbit using [Prison] magic.

The [Prison] magic was a restraining magic with transparent walls restricting the area. This magic only placed limits on the target. Usually only for demonic creatures... But it is often misused by slave traders as a restraint tool so that slaves do not escape. It's true how it works the same. Put that aside.

Right now I am trying something new.

"okay... Then then. [Earth Bullet.]!!"

I pointed my finger at the prison, then focused my MP on my finger. A small stone was created. I threw it slowly. Then the pebble bounced slowly.

"Oh, so could ya..."

I muttered and then repeated it. I tried high speed. The pebble quickly hit the prison wall, then bounced off in the other direction.

"so yeah... So this can be made protective..."

I then thought a little about the plan I should have used before.

Damnit damnit! It should have been realized sooner, if indeed this magic wall was so powerful, all of those adventurers should have survived... Argh!!

"Huf.. Never mind, it's over..."

I then muffled my anger and exhaled it.

In the end, today I can only regret my actions.
