Volume 2 - CH 308

Chapter 7-28. The Voice of Heaven

That statement surprised not only me but the other three as well.

Of course they were.

Who would have thought that the strange man who suddenly appeared was the voice of heaven in my skill set?

This is something we all know.

Each one of us has a special skill called voice, even though each of us has a different name.

That means that the other two people I have seen up to now must also be some kind of voice.

They are not here right now, but I will focus on what is in front of me first.

However, …… what the heck am I supposed to do with this ……?

“Ohhhh, that’s exactly the reaction I was hoping for!’

“Nah, no f-in hell, ORAA!!”

“Fubheeeh-!”

Nah, there’s no way I will miss this opportunity to hit this guy.

He’s been toying with me a lot so far, so this much should be acceptable.

The voice of heaven, which was blown away surprisingly simply, rolled on the ground in a heap.

Although I really hit him, I didn’t really feel like I hit him. ……

Is it because I’m dreaming?

“What the hell are you doing?!”

“Shut up, you’ve been messing with me a lot. …… You’re the one who made me a Daftworm, and you’re the one who made it impossible for me to become a human form. ……”

“Oh, my bad. ……”

“Yo, that’s a weak retort. ……”

So he did feel guilty, didn’t he?

Alright, I’ll let you off with this one.

“Oh, by the way, ……”

“Is there more?”

“No. …… it was the first time I met you, Ouren-kun. ……

“You were on your knees, I remember.”

I’m not sure if it was when I was in the …… Garrot Kingdom.

As I recall, this guy and two others were on their left and right, and for some reason only the voice of heaven was on his knees.

When I think about it, I don’t understand the meaning of that.

I wonder what he was apologizing for.

Or perhaps there is a concept of getting down on one’s knees in this world as well?

I’ve never seen such a thing in all the time I’ve spent here.

“Um……… I’m sorry to tell you this, but ……. Ouren-kun and Lize-kun.”

“Me too?”

“Uh-huh. I think you two are the only ones who don’t have any memories. ……”

Oh, come to think of it, Lize also said she had no memory either.

….. wait.

That means perhaps …….

“When we reincarnated you guys over here, we had to look inside your memories, you know? Um, ……, that’s …….”

“Hey, don’t tell me you…”

“We lost it in the middle of a mess!”

“Hmph.”

“FUBHEH!”

That’s your fault!

Hey, you goddamn void dictionary!

You’re supposed to be careful with that kind of thing, aren’t you?!

“O- Ouren. Wait a moment. I can’t keep up with your comprehension. ……? What is it? The voice of heaven …… is a special skill that O-Ren has, isn’t it?”

“Yes, this shit is.”

“Why is it manifesting itself in human form? And reincarnate us? So are you some kind of …… god or something?

“Yes, I am.”

The voice of heaven stands up immediately after being kicked to the ground.

There doesn’t seem to be much damage in this space.

Well, since we are in a dream realm, this may not be an option.

“Well, I’m not very powerful, so I could only reincarnate four of you. But now we can finally talk! We can’t talk unless all four of you gather together.”

“So what is it? Did you force yourself when you met me at that time?”

“Yes, that’s right. I was just trying to get you used to it.”

It didn’t have to be me, did it ……?

Well, it’s okay, I didn’t have a problem with it.

I mean, this guy is a god. ……

Although the atmosphere certainly has that feel to it, listening to his tone of voice, there is not even a hint of dignity in it.

How can this guy be a god? ……

The voice of heaven then claps its hands together and makes a sound.

“I really wanted to explain earlier. Sorry for the delay. I can answer any questions now, as long as they are within the scope of what I know.”

That’s what he said.

We looked at each other for a moment.

There are so many things I want to ask him, but I am at a loss for what to ask him.

Let’s digest them one by one.

Hearing the voice of heaven’s suggestion, Houen asked the first question.

“Why were we reincarnated here?”

That was something I was wondering too.

Since we started reincarnating, all kinds of mishaps have been happening to everyone.

Do you usually just reincarnate and let go right away?

“That’s just pure luck, really.”

“…… So, is that all there is to it?”

“Yes, that’s all. I picked up a dead soul, and it was you guys. Well, I’m going to look into your memories to see who you are. …… Oh, uh, …… sorry ……?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter now.”

“But I’m curious to know what kind of person I was.”

Indeed.

The fact that the souls are dead souls, we must have died for some reason.

I have heard that from Reizen.

“Y- you want to know about it?”

“I don’t.”

“Huh, really? Then, I’m good, too.”

“Uhh? You don’t want to know?”

“Because I don’t like it when you ask me and I don’t ask you. Then….. Why don’t you introduce yourself, Reizen?”

“Yes! It’s nice to meet you!”

Reizen notices this and deeply bows his head and introduces himself.

After that, Lize also told her own name. 

They never had a chance to meet before.

I would have never thought that we would introduce ourselves in a dream. ……

Putting these guys aside, Houen and I decided to listen to what the voice of heaven had to say.

“So, what the hell are you?”

‘I’m a god, in case you were wondering. We couldn’t leave you alone after we suddenly reincarnated you, so we were providing you with information in the form of our voices that will help you survive in this world. I can only tell it to you that way. ……”

“It helped, but I won’t forgive you for that choice you made. ……”

“I’m sorry. But we had to do it. We only provide information, we can’t mess with evolution.”

Apparently, all of our evolution paths and the skills we can acquire have already been set.

All that was left to do was to level up and evolve.

In that case, my goal was set for now.

In the meantime, I had worked hard to become a dragon, and that’s why I was in the situation I was in.

I didn’t think much about what to do after that.

Well, I think it’s a matter of making a decision from now on.

I think we should take our time and think about it.

But still, such a man is a god?

I can’t believe it, but since he has the power to deliver voices and reincarnate us in this way, he must be a god in his own right.

Though I don’t understand it.

“Hmmm… ……. I don’t know what to ask you here. …… Has the Voice of Heaven once in the past reincarnated people like us into this world?”

“Nope?”

“No huh? Then what is it about the previous generation of white snake?”

“I don’t know, ……. I’m sorry, we don’t know everything either. There are other gods besides us, and they may be related.”

Hmmm…does this mean that there is no reincarnation relationship between the voice of heaven and the previous generation of the White Snake?

If that is the case, we don’t know about the relationship between them or the inheritance of their skills. ……

Well, there are so many gods in Japan that there are 8,000,000 gods, so there may be something similar in this world.

Since I don’t know about that, I’ll leave it alone.

However, one thing is bothering me.

“What is the meaning of our reincarnation into this world?”

If we are related to the previous generation of white snake, we must have had some important role to play.

Still, the voice of heaven says there is no such thing.

If so, I don’t understand the meaning of having us reincarnated in this world.

In fantasy novels, this is often the case.

They have some great purpose for which they are reincarnated or transferred.

There are all sorts of things like changing the world or saving it. ……

“Yeah, well, that’s the thing.”

The voice of heaven said to us, in its cliché way, something like this.

“Because I want you to defeat the devil that destroys mankind.”
