CH 22

After punishing the teacher for his outburst, we were in the carriage heading to the second apostle’s base.

The teacher seemed to have realized that his words and actions were not good.

He apologized and this conversation was put to rest.

If a man who has never conversed with a woman usually speaks …… he gets too excited and loses sight of the distance, and then steps on a mine when he tries to force the conversation to continue.

I’m a virgin, but I’ll make the most of it in the future.

Hmm? I’m your student, right?

The teacher was so quiet that the mourning woman Silvana, had to pay attention to him.

“According to the pilgrim’s guidebook, I believe the next stop was Georges Yuuki Aprea’s base.”

The teacher was puzzled.

The teacher was pouting, like a child who doesn’t know how to react to anger.

Get a grip, 36-year-old.

“Oh, yeah. He’s the apostle that is based in the port city.”

“Is there a rule that apostles have to have middle names?”

“No, there is no rule, but most of them do. The only one that doesn’t have a middle name is the female fifth apostle.”

I wonder if they’re nostalgic about their previous life.

It’s a mystery that they want to claim that they are different.

It’s not that important of a piece of information.

“What happened after the apostle’s death here?”

“In addition to what I said before, there’s been a significant drop in fish catches.”

I wonder if it’s the same kind of environmental destruction that happened in my previous life.

And since it is a port town, there must be objects of ships.

Maybe a large ship made of steel.

I’d like to think …… that there won’t be any submarines.

But I was wrong …… There was a submarine ……

Ahhh …… I guess that’s how it is here too?

The teacher shrugged cheerfully at her gaze.

“Yeah, it became useless after the death.”

If you keep repeating this, you’re either incapable of learning or it’s intentional.

“Have you heard anything in the lore, Ms. Sylvana?”

The mourning woman Silvana looked a little bored, as if she had heard so much about it in the lore that it was not unusual.

“Hmmmm. I heard that they went fishing in a big iron boat and caught a lot of fish with a huge net …… Or maybe it was a submarine that played a big role in the war.”

If you bring over-technology into a war, it’s just a massacre, isn’t it?

The teacher’s shoulders slumped and he pointed to the inn in a reserved manner.

“Well, let’s go see the exhibition tomorrow and rest at the inn.”

The mourning woman Silvana seemed to have lost her temper with the teacher, who had become completely quiet.

She had a very subtle expression on her face.

Suddenly, Silvana was overheard.

(Hey, if he suddenly becomes quiet like that, I’ll be the one troubled by it.)

I whispered back.

(Teacher …… is not used to women, so he’s having trouble understanding the distance of conversation. It’s probably the first time in his life. That he has talked to a woman like that.)

The mourning woman Silvana grinned and patted the teacher on the back with a bang.

Her face was a perfect smug expression.

“I’m not mad at you anymore, virgin, and as long as you don’t talk about marriage, you’ll be fine! I know you’re happy to talk to a woman like me. You don’t have to be shy.”

The teacher stiffened for a moment, but then his face immediately turned red and he began to shake.

“Shut up, you mourning woman! You don’t even get a chance to talk to men, do you?”

And, well …… they began to argue as usual.

It’s good that you’re feeling better, but …… there’s only so much you can do.

There is no such thing as too much.

The Tale of the Heike is fading in.

◆◇◆◇◆

After dinner, which was surprisingly peaceful, we decided to go out for a stroll in town.

Our feet naturally went to the port.

The harbor at night is eerie, but quiet enough to think about.

The harbor is small because it is medieval.

But …… if you catch fish in a huge boat, wouldn’t you be catching too much, considering the amount of fish consumed in that era?

So maybe it’s something that happened to die and then the fish was discovered to be declining.

Or maybe they caught a lot of fish in places where they could easily catch them, and the number of fish in the surrounding waters decreased.

Maybe it’s also a good intention ……

If you are worshipped and have good intentions, there is no way you can put a brake on it.

But if you’re reincarnated from a previous life, you might be aware of the effects to your environment.

Did he feel so omnipotent that he even blew that away? Did you think that because it was a different world, there would be plenty of fish?

In the end, I’m just me, and there’s no way to know what other people really think.

But I wonder if I brought over-technology into the war because they saw the other side as evil.

It’s a common pattern that evil is typically evil, and it’s okay to kill.

They deserve to be punished.

I wonder if the apostles were thinking like that.

I haven’t seen that many people in my life, but I don’t think they are that different from before I was reincarnated.

I don’t think you can have genocide, even in war, without stopping to think with racial superiority ……

Even the Nazi’s slaughtered Jews to the point that some people became mentally ill.

I wonder if I’m just crazy for thinking about being God’s chosen reincarnation and having power thrust upon me.

I know it’s still too early to jump to conclusions.

But I can see the pattern clearly.

I have to keep telling myself it’s too early to stop thinking.

I wonder how the apostles viewed the inhabitants of this world.

It would be awful if they were like the Spaniards were to the locals in South America.

Speaking of the inhabitants, if they are elves, a long-lived species, I have a feeling that there are still people alive who have had contact with the apostles.

If the church wants to control the information, there is a possibility that they are in the way and have been erased.

If we could get in touch with the pope’s family, would we be able to learn more about what’s going on behind the scenes?

It won’t be that easy, though.

When you decide to hide the power of the apostles, it’s like a mere aristocrat meeting the pope.

Curiosity and inquisitiveness are both burdens when they go too far.

The more you think about it, the more mysteries and problems you will face.

It’s really a case of too much is better than too little.
