I’ve Reincarnated And I’m OP! - Chapter 49
…mi -???.
(Mmm what is that noise).
…su… -???.
(Just a few more minutes).
Ka … – ???.
I slowly opened my eyes and as I started to wake up I heard a loud knock and someone saying my name, but as I was still half asleep I was just looking at several blurred figures that were a few meters from me, I rubbed my eyes and when I did I could see how Yui, Noel, Arisa, and Shiro were hitting the barrier above them.
Kasumi! -Shiro.
{Yawn} Calm down -Kasumi.
Still a bit sleepy I started to get up from where I was lying, but when I tried to stand up I felt something grab my chest, I looked at the origin of the hold and to my surprise Ruth was fast asleep hugging me.
(What is she doing here and why is she hugging me ?, well at least she’s not naked, although yesterday I was going to invite her to stay anyway, although it’s strange that she decided to stay by herself).
I couldn’t help but smile when I looked at her as she slept and the moment I was appreciating Ruth again I heard an even louder noise, the girls for reasons that were very obvious to me began to hit the Barrier even harder.
(Somewhat jealous huh … because it doesn’t bother me at all).
I slowly released Ruth’s grip and got up, I told the girls to be quiet and undo the barrier that surrounded them, the girls noticing that there was no longer a barrier, they stayed in bed without saying anything and looking at me.
We didn’t do anything and to be honest I don’t even know what she’s doing here -Kasumi.
Mmm sure? -Noel.
Yes -Kasumi.
I quickly explained to the girls about what had happened the night before and although they looked somewhat annoyed they were surprised when I told them that I had run out of mana.
Even spending all your mana you couldn’t make them grow? -Yui.
No, I thought that by using enough mana I was going to do it, but I guess it’s impossible -Kasumi.
Maybe you just needed to use a little more -Noel.
No, even using all my mana it was impossible for me -Kasumi.
I guess you’re right since it’s the first time you’ve run out of mana since we met you -Arisa.
I talked a little more with the girls and while we were talking Valeria, who was still asleep, woke up and was informed of what had happened, noticing that there was already enough sunlight, we decided to get up and do our daily needs, while the girls made the bed for me. I approached the still sleeping Ruth.
I lifted Ruth slowly to prevent her from waking up and carried her to the bed, laid her down and as I separated from her I noticed that a bit of her hair was on her face, I pushed the little hair to the side and while I finished removing the Last strand I ran my hand over the top of Ruth’s forehead and felt something strange, I pushed my hair back a bit and I could see two little white “things” not very strange.
(Wow … it did work, but if with five million they grew to that size I will need a lot more to make them fully grow).
While I was looking at the signs of Ruth’s horns, the girls came to look, I explained a little about the subject and after a little talk we decided to go out for breakfast, from my Inventory I wrote a note on a paper explaining to Ruth her current state and I put it aside.
Will you leave her alone? -Noel.
I will leave a barrier around her weak enough for her to destroy it, also when the barrier is destroyed I will realize it -Kasumi.
Without further ado I raised the barrier around Ruth and we went out to eat something at a restaurant, I asked the receptionist of the inn for some recommendations and according to her there was a restaurant not far from our location that was quite good, I followed the directions of the receptionist and traced a route on my Map to avoid confusion.
As we walked towards the restaurant I observed how people walked from one side to another and talked happily, because the city did not have the typical problem with discrimination against other races I did not look at any human yelling at a demi-human, honestly the city I liked him more than my own hometown.
(I think I will return to this city after traveling for a while.)
………………………………………….. .
[Ruth’s perspective].
{Yawn} -Ruth.
(Hmm … where am I?)
Feeling that I was in a fairly comfortable bed and looking at the ceiling I noticed that something had changed, I quickly looked around and from what I had seen I was in the room where Kasumi slept.
A letter? -Ruth.
Next to me I noticed that there was a folded letter, I took the letter and began to read it.
{To begin you are in the room of the inn, since you fell asleep we decided not to wake you up, we went out to have breakfast so if you want to come with us, tear up this letter, so I will know if you accept my proposal.
If you don’t want to, just don’t tear up the letter and leave the inn, around you is a Barrier that you can destroy by hitting it a couple of times, I put it for safety; If you decide to leave, he wished you good luck on your trip, finally, can you touch your forehead? I think you will be surprised by doing so}.
My forehead …? -Ruth.
I was completely dumbfounded when I put my hand on my forehead, I quickly ran to a mirror on the wall, but before I could get out of bed I collided with something invisible.
Right, the Barrier -Ruth.
I started hitting the Barrier and after about ten hits I noticed how something pale yellow similar to the glass broke and disappeared, with the Barrier destroyed I kept running towards the mirror and when I was in front of the mirror I pushed my hair away from my forehead.
It can’t be -Ruth.
Before I knew it, I felt like a tear ran down my cheek, they were both there, although you could hardly see there were my horns that had been taken from me a long time ago; I dried my tears and appreciated my little horns slowly, I touched both horns and as I did so I felt again the sensation that I had not felt for a long time, while I continued to touch my horns I noticed my smile that was reflected in the mirror.
I don’t know how he did it, but I’m so grateful -Ruth.
Since I had lost my horns I felt completely useless, being a proud descendant of dragons losing my horns meant totally losing my pride which for one of us was a fate worse than death.
That boy is amazing, this is going against nature itself -Ruth.
I felt a bit silly talking to myself but even so I was very happy to have recovered my horns or at least part of them, I stopped looking in the mirror and grabbed the scroll again but there was nothing else written on it.
He doesn’t say anything else, I guess I’ll have to accept your offer -Ruth.
Without further ado I grabbed the letter and tore it in half, I waited for a moment and before I knew it Kasumi was standing on one side of the door.
I’m glad you accepted, come on, let’s get something to eat -Kasumi.
Kasumi extended her hand to me as a sign that I would give it to her, although I did not like the idea very much, I shook her hand, the moment my hand touched Kasumi’s all my surroundings changed from nothing to an alley.
What just happened? -Ruth.
It’s an ability I have -Kasumi.
Kasumi answered me vaguely and after answering he began to walk, without further ado I began to walk with him, who had not let go of my hand yet, after walking for a short moment we entered a place similar to a restaurant, already inside the local we walked to the bottom where the girls who were with him yesterday were.
It’s only been a day and you already have that relationship? -Elf.
Kasumi upon hearing the elf girl’s words smiled slightly and let go of my hand.
Sorry, it’s the custom -Kasumi.
Kasumi moved a chair for me to sit and out of nowhere pulled out one in which he sat.
Well, it seems we haven’t introduced ourselves properly yet, Kasumi Beller nice -Kasumi.
Shiro -Shiro.
My name is Noel -Noel.
Yui, nice to meet you Ruth -Yui.
My name is Valeria -Valeria.
Arisa, I hope we get along -Arisa.
Ruth -Ruth.
Well, with the presentations finished let’s continue, to begin with as you have noticed I was able to make your horns grow back, but according to what I investigated when your horns are removed, it is impossible for them to grow back, what I want to get to is that most likely if you want your horns to grow to their maximum point again, I will have to transmit my mana for a while, therefore in order to help you with the growth of your horns you will have to come with us indefinitely, that is the proposal that we argue -Kasumi.
Although his words sounded very convincing, I still didn’t feel very confident with them, we had only known each other for a short time and I still felt a bit awkward.
From your look I assume that you do not trust my words, well, it would be the most normal thing -Kasumi.
(He is reading Me like an open book).
For now let’s eat, we will walk through this city and re-register with the adventurer’s guild as a group, on the other hand, you can stay with us -Kasumi.
I started to think about the words Kasumi had said to me, to be honest I had nothing to lose by staying with them, I had nowhere to return to anyway.
Before accepting your proposal I would like to hear your request, I suppose I will have to do something in return for your help –Kasumi.
You don’t need to do anything, I help you out of my own selfishness –Kasumi.
I refuse, you have to ask for something in return for it to be an equivalent deal – Ruth.
Although I could accept without him asking for something in return, my insecurity forced me not to accept, in my years of experience I witnessed many deceptions similar to what Kasumi told me.
Well, well, I guess you still don’t trust us, anyway, if you want to do something in exchange for helping you temporarily join our group of adventurers it will be enough, that’s fine with you –Kasumi.
(Are you only going to ask for that?).
Are you sure you just want that? -Ruth.
Well, if it were just the two of us on this trip I would ask you for something more, but I think some people would get mad if I did it right now –Kasumi.
I would recommend you not to make such jokes, Kasumi –Shiro.
Hahaha I supposed you would say that –Kasumi.
I was not silly at all to understand the hint that Kasumi told me, for a moment I thought that the girls who were traveling with him were going to get angry, but from their reactions they seemed to be used to Kasumi’s joking side.
(What a strange group).
………………………………………….. ….
After eating something and Ruth agreeing to join our group, we decided to go to the adventurers ‘guild in the city to make our new registration, upon reaching the adventurers’ guild, many of the adventurers who were in the place turned to see us almost at the same time. Some time, while we were advancing towards the reception, some of the adventurers who were in front of us moved away as we advanced, after only a few steps we reached the receptionist who seemed a little scared.
T-how can we help you young client? -Receptionist.
Well, to begin with, I would like to know why everyone acts so cautious against us –Kasumi.
T-that’s because there are rumors about you young client –Kasumi.
What kind of rumors? –Kasumi.
Well, according to some people, you murdered several royal guards and kidnapped the king’s investigator, but those are just rumors – Receptionist.
Hearing the receptionist’s words I was about to leave the guild with the girls and escape the city, but before I panicked I took a deep breath and thought of a plan to prove my innocence.
Those rumors are false, leaving that aside, I would like to make a new registration in the guild –Kasumi.
Who would like to register young client? -Receptionist.
I’d like to re-register all of us –Kasumi.
Young customer, if you want to make a new registration you have to take into account that the history of all your past missions will be deleted and you will have to start from the rank that the orb grants you – Receptionist.
I am aware of all that, I would like to proceed –Kasumi.
With that in mind, you will have to pay a total of five silver coins for the new registration – Receptionist.
It’s okay –Kasumi.
The receptionist asked all of us for our guild cards, among us only Valeria, Noel and Ruth did not have a card, but they also said that they were going to register in the same group, while the receptionist prepared all the paperwork and the registration orb for us. we went to wait in the dining room.
Do you think I have problems that I am a demon? –Valeria.
The safest thing is that if, that’s why you will register after the girls register, in addition, I will propose a group registration, so that the leader of the guild is present and be able to convince him of the registration of Valeria -Kasumi.
And do you think it will work? -Noel.
He will, otherwise we refuse to register, after seeing his levels it will be impossible not to accept –Kasumi.
What if he doesn’t? –Shiro.
He will –Kasumi.
After waiting for a couple of minutes the Receptionist returned with the registration sheets, we quickly filled in the data and before she started calling us one by one I proposed the group registration, the girl told me to wait a moment while I asked her permission to the guild leader, again we waited for a few minutes until the girl returned, just as he had planned, the guild leader said that only if he was present was he going to let us register as a group.
Following the instructions of the receptionist, we all began to follow her towards the guild registration room, after about a minute we reached a room a bit wide where there was only a large orb of approximately one meter in diameter, without a doubt it was much larger than all the orbs I had ever seen.
It is incredible true, this great orb is one of the five largest in the entire human continent, it can perfectly measure the statistics of a person and determine their rank, it is something beautiful – ???.
How much is the maximum capacity that this orb can measure? –Kasumi.
What do you mean boy? – ???.
Let’s say you can measure the power of people with numbers, how much would be the maximum amount that this orb could measure? –Kasumi.
If we put it in numbers, it would be approximately one million – ???.
The man in front of us just smiled at me as he answered me, for my part I smiled back wryly.
I introduce myself, my name is Adam and I am the current leader of this guild –Adam.
It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Adam, I introduce myself, my name is Kasumi Beller and they are Yui, Shiro, Arisa, Noel, Valeria and Ruth, we are all one group –Kasumi.
What a peculiar group, a human, two demi-humans, an elf, a drag and a demon … -Adam.
The moment Adam spoke the girls stood in front of Valeria, for my part I just stared at each movement Adam made.
Relax, I am one of the few people who knows how demons live, I know that not all are monsters full of hatred against humans –Adam.
That makes things easier, can we register Valeria then? –Kasumi.
Well, the moment she registers in the orb, all the guild leaders will be able to see that she registered, the safest thing will be that letters will come to me from the different guild leaders asking for an excuse, but if we register her in a group of people High-level guild leaders may accept it, especially if she is strong that will give us to understand that we have a strong demon on our side, most likely when a war against demons occurs they want to use her for the attack, even knowing that, do you want to register it? –Adam.
Without a doubt it was going to be very annoying, but if this was the only option I had, I had to accept it, although if they wanted to use Valeria for something I would completely refuse.
Well, we will search her, but if the guild leaders or kings want to use Valeria, tell them that they will have to ask my permission first –Kasumi.
And I suppose you would refuse –Adam.
Absolutely, if they want us to help them deal with some difficulties they will not have to bother us, if they ask us for the missions by the adventurer guilds it will be enough, if we want to help them, it will be our decision –Kasumi.
I warn you that these people are very annoying, but if you still want to register them, it is your problem, whatever, let’s continue with the registration, who wants to go first? –Adam.
I –Ruth.
Okay, put your hand on the orb and let your mana flow into the -Receptionist.
As if it were nothing Ruth put her hand on the orb, and began to let her mana flow, in a matter of just a few seconds, the orb began to glow and a small screen appeared in front of the orb with Ruth’s Stats, other than that it also showed some words in red.
From what I can see you’ve already done a few murders, Ruth -Adam.
It was against her will, if she didn’t she was going to be killed –Kasumi.
And do you trust her words? –Adam.
I could see for myself, she was a slave and her owner only used her to silence people –Kasumi.
Well, I’ll trust you, let’s see, according to the orb your rank would be … Mithril II –Adam.
The moment Adam spoke the receptionist was completely static.
As it is possible, that girl is very strong –Adam.
After filling in Ruth’s details, it took a while for both the receptionist and Adam to calm down.
With this we are done, the one that follows – Receptionist.
Valeria walked to the orb and touched it as Ruth had done and in just seconds the orb began to glow and again the small window appeared in front of the orb, the receptionist approached the window and the moment she looked at it she abruptly stumbled back, Before the receptionist fell to the ground I grabbed her.
Something happens? –Kasumi.
Y-your … rank -Receptionist.
Feeling intrigued Adam walked to the window and the moment he looked at her he turned slowly to Valeria.
Diamantina III …. –Adam.
At the moment that Adam spoke Ruth also turned to Valeria with fear, without a doubt her rank was the highest that could be measured with the orb, but among us, with the exception of Ruth, she was the weakest of all.
