Uplifting Journey

The dim sun near the horizon makes the trees cast long and narrow shadows on the ground. In the forest where the shadows are intertwined, the elephant herd that has lost its leader is wandering and whining in a daze.

The higher IQ in the group of wild animals does not allow these elephants to understand what happened before. They cannot simply equate the sudden disappearance of the smell and voice of the leading female elephant with death, and can only immerse themselves in the loss. In the brief confusion and chaos of order.

And amidst the humming of the elephants, a gray-black parrot flew out from the depths of the forest. It seemed to be attracted by the movement of the elephants, flapped its wings to slow down, and grabbed the elephants with its sharp claws A branch in between.

The parrot, which had stopped, folded its wings and jumped left and right on the branch twice, turned its neck and looked around vigilantly, then turned its head slightly, and stared at the insect on the tree trunk next door with a pair of black pupils expanding and shrinking.

Vaguely, the corner of the parrot's vision quietly swept across the open space in the center of the elephant herd——

The open space where the head elephant that disappeared out of thin air with abrupt and interrupted traces of crushing.

A moment later, the gray-black parrot, which raised its head and squeezed and swallowed the huge insect in its beak, flew up again, blending into the gradually darkening sky.

Among the human settlements that are extremely far away from the elephant herd, it is the cleanest and tidy building closest to the hotel.

The blond man who occupied the house while the original owner retreated in awe, frowned slightly and walked into the simple bedroom that had just been cleaned. He hung the coat in his hand on the back of the chair, and then slowly sat down on his knees. edge of the bed.

The palm with delicate skin rubbed on the "clean" bed sheet that smelled of inferior washing powder, and the furrows on the brows of the blond man named Yoshikage Kira deepened——

Not even running water.

After complaining silently, Yoshikage Kira, who originally planned to take a good bath and sleep, simply took off his shoes, put on his inner clothes and pulled the blanket over to lie down.

If he hadn't somehow sensed that the double killer queen was approaching the limit, Yoshikage Kira actually wanted to use the powerful Loser Shichen directly to return to the time when he was in Japan and had not set off for Africa.

——Although the root cause of the threat has been resolved, the inexplicable pressure and costs accumulated behind the substitute also need a process of mitigation. It is better to use less powerful abilities involving the timeline.

Amid erratic thoughts, Yoshikage Kira, who closed his eyes, gradually fell into a shallow sleep. In this state, instinctive perception and vigilance were enough for him to wake up in an instant to deal with all abnormalities——

Countless reincarnation battles made him unable to relax easily after solving the biggest threat, not to mention that the human settlement he was in was full of "bad guys" in various senses, even if he had killed those people before , it is impossible for him to rest assured of them.

——Sharp perception, shallow sleep that can kill people at any time. This is some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder. I don’t know how long it will take for my spirit to return to the daily calm?

The gentle light of the moon rising into the sky caresses the handsome face of the blond man on the bed through the window, which is slightly worried.

Over the humble house opposite the window, a black figure spread its wings and landed silently on the antenna on the roof below as the air flow changed.

A pair of pupils that reflected bright light under the moonlight stared at the window opposite the house.

Yoshikage Kira suddenly woke up amidst the deep chill that came from nowhere.

The inexplicable intuition honed in countless battles and the experienced instinct accumulated in countless painful experiences made him regain consciousness in an instant, and he turned his gaze out of the window while rolling and dodging amidst the clicking sound from the violent movement of his neck and spine. .

Yoshikage Kira, who was standing firmly with his back against the wall, met his pupils reflecting light not far from the window.

Is that an owl?

Unaware of any strangeness or danger around him, Yoshikage Kira, who quickly adapted to the dim environment by the moonlight, recognized the creature parked on the opposite roof. Pages of African creature atlases flashed through his mind.

The knowledge and experience accumulated in the past told him that the owl outside the window belonged to the species that should exist in this area, and this is also the time when this nocturnal creature is active.

It seems that everything is normal.

Yoshikage Kira raised his hand to press his chest, sweat dripped faintly from his forehead, he felt the violent heartbeat under his palm, as if his body and mind were under great pressure, he bowed his neck and took a deep breath with difficulty.

"He's dead. He's dead."

Yoshikage Kira, who was muttering to himself, tried hard to convince himself from the bottom of his heart.

Convince yourself with logic, knowledge, perception, and everything you can use—the owl on the roof opposite the window just stayed there for a short time to conduct normal observation and hunting preparations for the small rodent creatures in the settlement.

But during the brief moment of looking at each other through the window, the kind of eyes that were nothing strange but palpitating. Yoshikage Kira, who kept denying a certain possibility, his intuition was bit by bit, irresistible, tonight The thing that caused him to wake up was linked to something familiar in his memory——

That is what I have experienced in Morioh Town, in North America, and in every corner of countless reincarnations.

That sense of voyeurism that is so familiar that it hurts the soul all the time, without dead ends.

Gradually, Yoshikage Kira stopped murmuring and panting, his hand holding his chest drooped, and slowly raised his head——

A pair of huge reflective pupils immediately caught his eyes.

The owl, which was originally on the antenna on the opposite roof, stood on the window sill at some point. Its majestic and fierce face was pressed against the glass, facing Yoshikage Kira.

The air in the dimly lit room seemed to freeze, Yoshikage Kira stood there stiffly, staring quietly at the owl outside the window.

The shifting moonlight brought the shadow of the owl across the walls of the house, and when the toes were about to be covered by the shadow, Yoshikage Kira finally broke the silence.

He looked at the ordinary-looking owl outside the window, and said with a voice as if his throat was being cracked by fire: "Why are you still alive? I clearly destroyed you the first time you came to the earth in the form of a blood eagle.

"No one can escape the annihilation of the fate of the loser eating dust and crucified, why."

The owl outside the window tilted its head, then it flapped its wings, pecked the window twice with its beak, and then focused its attention on Kira Yoshikage again, raising its wings in a way that ordinary birds can never do, Rubbed his chin with the tip of a hard feather.

The next moment, a deep human voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female sounded through the glass in the room: "You noticed something strange the first time you saw me, and I really want to ask why

"Well, if the information is correct, you should be Yoshikage Kira. Judging by your reaction, I can probably guess what happened to you."

After a pause, the owl outside the window smiled and said, "Someone squatted at the place where I descended. To be honest, even if I had expected this, I was still very surprised——

".According to my behavior habits, I should not expose the information to this extent during the predetermined incubation period. You know the specific location of my landing on the earth. Is your ability beyond my expected range, or did you get it at this time? An unreasonable source of information like some old man playing with thorns?"

Don't ask about the update, just ask about it

Because it was mentioned a little in the group that salted fish has become a habit, so I won’t say much here, sorry

The current working and living conditions are sometimes difficult? Climbing mountains with hail and heavy snow?

When you are unlucky, let alone running water, there is no signal.

When I was busy, I came back at night to finish my homework, and my eyelids would fight at 8 or 9 o'clock. I couldn't save the game, so I had to fall asleep.

Even if you are not busy and have free time, after all the miscellaneous things, you basically have no mood and motivation.

In short, it depends on the situation emmm, anyway, I dare not read the news and comments, let the fate, let the fate
