After I defeated Felix it looked like I had been asleep for about two days.
When I woke up and went to the living room of the house, my dad, my mom and Tina were surprised to see me, and then they cried and hugged me.
I had never seen my dad shed a tear in my previous life, so I still felt bad that they were so worried about me, but I was so happy that I was on the verge of crying too.
The reason I slept for two days is partly because I was wounded, but most importantly, I was out of magic power.
When your magic runs out, you pass out, and you won''t wake up from your slumber until you''ve recovered about 80% of your magic power.
It seems that I sleep for two days when my magic runs out...I still have a lot of growing up to do when it comes to magic.
Like me, I heard that Tina also fainted when she ran out of magic power but she woke up after only half a day.
I''m not sure how many times she has more magic power than me, but she recovered faster than me... I taught Tina magic, but what''s the difference?
And now we''re in the forest.
We have to clean up from the last fight.
All I could remember in my head was that I fought Felix, but before that, I had fought hundreds of demons.
Their corpses are scattered around the village.
It''s the first time I''ve killed so many demons, so I''m not sure what to do, but for now, everyone in the village seems to be cleaning up the corpses even while I''m sleeping.
When I got there, there was a pile of dead bodies because they''d already spent two days cleaning up.
My dad and I had done all the work, and I felt bad that everyone in the village had to do it, but they told me it was okay because he and I had saved their lives.
I knew I was happy to have saved the village from the bottom of my heart.
And after discussing what to do with the demons that had piled up we decided to burn all but a few of them to the ground.
The demons hunted by my father and the hunters could get a good price if we sold the skins and other materials that were stripped from the town.
They would use that money to buy things they needed for the village.
There are a lot of demons in this crowd of demons that could be pretty good materials, but.......there''s a bit too many of them.
After discussing with me, my dad, and the hunters, we decided which demons to leave behind, and excluding those, we decided to burn hundreds of demons to the ground.
I asked Tina to burn the corpses of the demons.
I could do it if I just set the corpses on fire, but when you burn the corpses, a crazy stench of death comes out.
If I leave them unattended, the smell would spread to the village and I''d be in trouble.
So Tina is the only one who can use fire magic to burn it and wind magic to use magic to prevent that smell from spreading to the village.
I''d like to work hard and be able to do that much in good time too.......
That''s what I thought when I saw Tina happily talking to me while burning corpses in front of me and manipulating wind magic to keep the smell of death from spreading to the village.
And then - a week or so passed after the demon swarm''s attack and the defeat of Felix.
The village is still going on as usual without any particular incident, despite such a big event.
Even the wall I built with magic to surround the village in all directions was not torn down and used.
The number of demons attacking the village''s fields at night in search of food will also be drastically reduced.
I also train in the morning as usual, and when it''s noon, I''ve recently been plowing the fields as a helper at Tina''s house.
''''Hmm...''''
Good night, Eric. Here''s your water.
"Thank you, Tina.
I take a glass of cold water from Tina and drink it down.
By the way, this is also the water that Tina served with her water magic method.
Come to think of it, Tina told me the other day that I don''t have to call her ''Tina'' anymore.
When I asked her why, she said it''s because it makes her happier to be called Tina.
Well, I called her Tina in my past life, and secretly I called her Tina in my mind too, so I could change it without feeling uncomfortable, but.......
I didn''t understand the reason, but that''s okay.
Suddenly the story changes, but I''m very impatient right now.........I''m in trouble.
In my previous life, the demon attack a week ago and Felix''s fault killed everyone but me.
It was good that I was able to save it.
But - having saved the village, I''m wondering what I should do now.
In my previous life, when my father, mother and Tina died and I was the only survivor, and I was petrified, I was saved by my best friend - I was saved by my best friend.
As I recall, we met in a city a little farther away, about a month after my village was destroyed.
I was cowering in a favela in a back alley of the city, and he showed up at a favela of sorts and offered me food.
He had just arrived in the favela and couldn''t leave me alone when he saw me lying there.
He couldn''t leave me alone, and when I asked him about it afterwards, he said he was the same age as me.
When I told him that I came here with nowhere to go and no place to go, he told me about it too.
He told me that the kingdom he was living in had fallen and he had come here, just like me.
Since our circumstances were close to each other, we became fast friends.
His name was - Christo.
I became best friends with Christo, and we were able to survive by traveling together.
If I hadn''t met him then, I''d probably be dead.
I can''t wait to see him in this world too.
But then I thought.
The reason he was in the favela.
It was because Christo''s country was destroyed.
I met him because my village was destroyed and his country was destroyed.
And the reason why his country was destroyed.
I hadn''t heard the name of Christo''s country, but there are probably only a few countries that fell immediately after my village was destroyed.
For example - the Begonia Kingdom.
So ... maybe, no, the country that Christo lived in is the Begonia Kingdom.
And Christo fled for his life and met me there.
I mean - I''m his best friend and the love of his life. I''ve lost the chance to meet the two people who matter most to me.
Where I was depressed because I couldn''t see Irene, I couldn''t believe that I wouldn''t be able to see Christo next time either.......
Maybe if Christo wasn''t living in the Begonia Kingdom, but in a different country and that place was destroyed, I could meet him if I went to the city where me and Christo met in a month or so.
Well, the best thing is that it''s better if the country he lives in doesn''t get destroyed, so it''s probably better for him to live in the Begonia Kingdom because there''s no reason for it to get destroyed.
But........I can''t get information from this village.
I''ve been thinking it''s still better to leave this village and go on a journey.
In order to obtain information, it might be better to leave this village and go to the city.............................that is, to the Begonia Kingdom or something like that.
What should we do........
Right now, the village has finished disposing of the demon corpses, and things are finally settling down.
I don''t even know how much of a fuss I would make if I said I was leaving the village here.
Besides ... the biggest regret is Tina.
Tina''s always been with me.
I feel like Tina''s like a real family, too.
And I know that Tina probably feels the same way.
But what will happen to Tina if I leave....
I was thinking about this while I was plowing the fields.
And today...
A new visitor arrives in this village, and my life is going to change dramatically from my previous life.
