Chapter 13: Volume 1 - CH 13

1.13. First companion


　It was a black fish that slowly swam from the side of the big pond.
　It looks like a maletanago, but unlike the maletanago, the scales seem to be very thick.
　It can be said that it has considerable defensive power.


　The black fish seem to be watching out from enemies, wandering around.
　If It is really a reincarnated person, It may have a timid personality.
　It would be nice to respond gently here.


　It seems that It hasn't noticed me yet, so it swims slowly as it is.
　However, the fish with a white body could not be inconspicuous, and the opponent immediately noticed my existence and retreated with all it's might.


　Oi. Wait a minute.
　Well, I think it's understandable to be frightened because my appearance looks like this, but ... Isn't it too fast to decide to retreat because of that??


　When I thought so and retorted in my mind, the black fish stopped and looked at me.
　It's a fish, so I don't really know what kind of expresiion it has, but I know it is surprised.
　I didn't do anything in particular, but ... did it wonder why I didn't attack it? Even so, it's a little strange to stop suddenly ...


"Are you Japanese……? "


　!! !! ?? Whoa! ?? I, i- ...


"IT TALKEEEED!!!!”


　The black fish utters words with that carp like mouth, and I scream at exactly the same time.
　Familiar words that were used since in my previous life ... I heard a Japanese words.
　This is not a dream. In fact, the conversation is established in this way.


　The voice of the black fish sounds very young.
　Is it's age before reincarnated is around a high school student?
　Its like someone you used to hear his voice using voice changer then he turned it off but evantually you adaptated to his normal voice, but it's tone is sounds so young.*
(* what kind of comparison is that)


　I'm sure, this time.
　This black fish is definitely a reincarnated person.
　Letters and Japanese ... This is enough information to convice me.
　It should understand this over there as well.


　By being able to talk to the person it was talking to, the black fish suddenly released my alertness and swam toward me at full speed.
　I didn't think I could even have a conversation, but ... I was happy because I was wondering if I could use my skill poorly if an unavoidable problem suddenly hapenned.
　The black fish immediately swam to my eyes and talked to me.


"Y- y- you are Japanese!?? Y- you are aren't you?!"


"Y- yeah. I don't have much memory of my previous life, but ... I remember being Japanese. "


"*hicks ... gu ... uwaaaaah! Dhankghs ghoftneeesh(Thank goodness)! Aim sho ghlaaaadh!(I'm so glad!)"

　It was already sobbing when I was answering it, but in the end the black fish started crying.
　Since it is a fish, it does not show tears, but if you listen to it's voice, you can tell that it is crying. It is crying with all of it's heart.
　It finally found a Japanese who came here and was looking for it.
　I think it was alone all the time.
　I don't know how lonely I felt on the third day of my reincarnation.
　In this case, if you are a human, usually they hug each other, but it is impossible with this body.
　I have a grudge having this figure for a while.


　Actually, I'd like to ask it a lot of things right now, but it's still crying.
　I just waited for the black fish in front of me to stop crying.


[You got experience points]


　This ba$#@$*&#[email protected]!!!! I'll kill you someday!!!!


　◆


　Then a few minutes later. It seems that it has finally calmed down.
　I'll confirm it and call it out.


"Did you calm down?"
"Yes... I-... I'm sorry."
"Uhm ... where to start, I mean what should I talk about first ..."


　It was nice to meet the fellow reincarnated 'person', but I wasn't thinking about anything after that.
　I haven't prepare anything to what I awant to talk about, so I should initiatively establish a conversation from there, but ... the problem was solved instantly.
　From now on, I'll just try to deepen our friendship, And by the way, this tons of bubble is kinda annoying.


　Probably because we are in the water, it's literally a bubble of water? It's noisy.


"... Nice to meet you for the time being. I'm a Block Fish "
"Blockfish ... your race name huh? I'm a RainBass"


　Block fish.
　It seems to be the branch evolution race of black fish, but it doesn't seem their scale is hard as block.
　Well, It still evolving.
　It's body is still small and his form of evolution right now is still in the weak path.
　If it evolves from now on, it looks like it's going to be a great fish.... I wonder if it doesn't doing anything because it didn't find any prey or just a lonely fish.

　And this conversation ... a telepathy perhaps? I found it out.
　Apparently, it seems you can send the thought what you want to send out, and if don't want your thought to send out, then it won't .
　I said in my head earlier about kill the voice of heaven, but it seems it didn't hear that. That's good.
　It couldn't hear the voice of my thought if my thought is for the other person, it seems telepathy works like that.


"You see, what have you been up to since you reincarnated?"
"I- I ran(swim) off immediately after reincarnating. About a month "
"One month!??"
(Fui-nee: im changing it as male,)
　He is reincarnated for a month? I'm sorry I lived for only three days.
　I can't imagine how lonely I am if I stay alone for that long.
　Only surrounded by stones and aquatic plants! I don't see many living things, and there is nothing to distract me from loneliness. If I didn't exploring like this, I think my mind would be crazy.
　I endured well...


"W-why are you all alone for a month ..."
"I was scared ... I'm told that the level goes up without permission and I don't understand the meaning of race change evolution ..."


　It must be the plankston. Its all these plankton fault, the representative of living things in the world who can't read the air.


"A- hmm? wait. Did you just said you've been told by something?"
"Eh. Ah- yes, [Voice of the Earth] is who told me that. "
"Seriously. It's the same for me, but it's [Voice of Heaven]


　I never thought that there was a different 'voice' other than the heavenly voice.


　I wondered if it was because of this 'voice' that I could have a conversation like this, but I didn't treat it kindly.
　It seems there is another reason in this regard.


"Yours is a voice of heaven ~"
"It don't read the air so much. Ah, that's right. Do you have memories of your previous life?"
"Yes, I have it. I was tortured and died. "
"What the-?!"


　I really thought I missheard him. What are you doing in Japan to get tortured and die?
　It must not just a little gang and some lukewarm things, but must be in a gangster or mafia territory.


"No no ~, I was actually an intelligence officer in my previous life. Even though I was 17 years old. "
"That is your profession even though you are young ..."

　Perhaps he cheated on something and was caught, tortured and died.
　I don't think he is going to die like that, right? I didn't died like that. I don't know because I don't remember my previous life!
　Did he get tortured and reincarnated in this world? But he is scared ... Isn't there something wrong going on?
(Fui-nee: Akechi, is that you?)
　Oh my god, I know how scary it is to be eaten. But, what he experienced is too hard to swallow, even in Japan ... or maybe anywhere in the world.
(Fui-nee: you poor innocent little fish)


　Yes. When I was listening to the story of this guy, I was thinking of changing the topic because it seemed that it is too heavy for me.


"Ah, Ummm! We- Would you like be our.....my friend?"
(F-n: He just said 'ore-tachi' it can mean he himself + MC, or plural, or it just the way he talk)


　I still can't read his expression, but I feel his desperation.
　Screw it, I don't wanna be alone anymore either.
　I'm not evil enough to abandon the fellow Japanese I met for the first time in this world.
　And ... I just thought it would be tough on my own. Mainly in the spiritual sense.


"Sure. To meet a fellow Japanese in this empty river. This must be a fate"
"Uwaaaah ... *hiks(cry sfx)! S-somehow, just by heard that words make me feel so excited!"
"I- is that so"


　Too close, personal space please. I know you are happy, but please respect my personal space.


　When I noticed it, he back off and look a little down. After all the inside is still a kid.
　This may be his character rather than his original personality of this guy.
　Looking at him again, he doesn't suit an intelligence officer, and I won't believe it even if he persistently tells me.


　Black Fish, Block Fish, it sounds alike.
　I think he have something to say, but it seems he is tooo nervous to say it.


"Uhmmm……"
"what is it? Please tell me if there is anything you worried about. Because we are friend after all.”
(F-n: ...... my back feels so itchy for some reason)


　When he heard that word, he felt a little brighter.
　Ou! In the end, don't have facial expressions are so convenient! But I want eyelids, and I also want facial muscles!


"Uhmm ... I just want to say ... I can't remember my name. I can't call myself as blockfish forever ... right?"


　I understand his feelings. I don't even want to introduce myself as RainBass.
　Besides, it's inconvenient. After all the thing called a name is important. But I can't even remember my name.
　I thought it didn't matter how the other person called me, and I thought it would be a long time before I was called, but if I could make friends, I definitely need a name.


　That is.


"How about we naming each other? You give me a name and I give you a name too"
"Isn't that useless ..."


　There is no way it's useless. I'll take that as confirmation.
　I want a name too, and I'm sure I'll be with him for a long time.
　I shake my head lightly and immediately start thinking about the name.


"... You'll think a cool name for me then, no need to rush."
"-! Thank you!"
"I want my name somewhat cool, okay?"
"Yes! Please leave it to me! I'm good at naming pets at home, and my family praised me!"


　Is this guy going to decide my name like a pet? Any cool name will do tho.
　But it's hard to ask if you can name your pet and got praised for it. Maybe it's named with a sprinkle of twist. I'm curious.


"Hoo. So, what is the name of your pet?"
"It's Lizard Bloodmoon!"


　………… I'm really worried now.
