Volume 1 - CH 25

Chapter 1-25. Farewell

"Is that so?"

I was surprised to hear that words.

Because he said it was as if he had seen everything.

Reizen accepted what I said without being upset.

"Umm ... Reizen?"

"I already knew. That Ouren-Big Bro can already go ashore."

How did Reizen know that?

I've kept it hidden for a long time and didn't even say it, right?

He shouldn't be able to see my next evolution, let alone view my status.

"How did you know that ... when did you realize that?"

"Since we defeated Bedlock"

Since that time?!

He didn't act like he was, and he didn't even say anything.

When we subdued Bedlock ... I wonder if I did something.

There must have been somewhere big evidence that make Reizen know.

But ... I have no idea.

Errrr? What did I miss?

"Ah, Big-Bro ... You didn't eat that Bedlock, right?"

"……ah"

That's it.

I ate only two bites and left them alone.

At that time, I knew I could be a waterside snake and tried not to rise my level.

Probably because if I had eaten all that Bedlock, I would have had enough experience points for evolution.

Did he happen to see it by chance?

But ... Did he foresaw that I could evolve to ashore on land?

He's amazing.

"Big-Bro was careful about me and didn't eat that Bedrock, right? To make time for me to stay as long as possible. "

“…………”

"I was happy with that alone. It was only a guess because I only saw it, but Big-Bro gave me a prey every time. That make me convicted. That Ouren-Big Bro gave me his experience points so that he could stay with me for a long time. That's why Ouren-BigBro can go to the land in the next evolution ... I knew that. "

It's a complete essay answer.

Certainly, for the past week, I've been handing over prey, saying "You need to evolve more, so you should eat more".

However, I thought that it would make me suspicious, so I tried to eat them once every few times.

I was silently listening to Reizen's words.

"I really thought I should say this sooner. However, I couldn't meet anyone for a month, and I kept waiting for a fellow reincarnated Japanese who probably know if I was there, and finally I was able to meet you Big-bro. I know that it is sad to break up. So I couldn't say it. "

"Reizen ..."

"But it's okay! The kindness of Big-bro who has been trained me for the past week has been fully received by me! Ouren-Big Bro also worried about how I would react. That's why it was hard to say. But don't worry! I'm gonna be okay! Even if mBig-bro goes to the land, I will definitely catch up and show you!"

His voice sounds like the usual, but ... his voice was quivering faintly bit by a bit.

I can see that he is forcing himself.

However, it is a taboo to points out that.

Let's do something that suits me too.

"... *inhale. Okay! Reizen! I go to land first. And you must be stronger! Absolutely! Be prepared to be stronger and don't forget to make some strong skills!"

"!!!. Of course! I also gain skills that are as strong as Big-bro! Please wait for me there!"

"Sure!"

It's frustrating that I can't shake hands because I'm not a human. However, my determination was settled.

[Will you evolve?]

Yeah.

[Choose your evolution path]

===============

-Waterside Snake-

===============

Huh. It's kinda ironic that there is only one evolution path.

Is it because I shouldn't stay it in the water any more?

Well that's fine though.

I choose the evolution path to waterside snake.

My body gets hot.

Burning pain hits my whole body.

The skeleton is deformed and the internal organs are agitated.

The body became slimmer and long, and transformed into a white and slender body.

The shape of fish is no longer left.

I transformed into a snake.

I can't breathe in the water.

I immediately leave from the river and move my body to the land.

When I looked in the water, I saw a fish that shining with black colour.

It looks so small.

Now I'm several times bigger than Reizen.

After watching for a while, the black fish went away and disappeared.

"See you latter buddy. I'm going first "

I muttered a word, but the fish called Reizen did not respond.

Author note

================

Thank you to everyone who been with me this far.

This is the final chapter of the first volume.

From the next time, the second volume, "Life as a Snake" will begin.

How do you survive in the form of a snake?

If it possible, I would like to post it the day after tomorrow, but ... I will leave for a while.

The only reason is that I want to reconfirm, so there is no deep meaning.

The next post will be on August 25th.

By the way ... Chapter 2 has also been completed.

Updating all of them will probably be completed in about four months.

However, I want to post everything before the beginning of the year, so there may be many continuous posts.

Stay tuned (= ω =)
