I Was Reincarnated Chapter 10

Rune's side

"……n"

My body feels heavy

The whole thing is heavy

When I opened my eyes, I saw was a white-ish wall

(A wall?)

I, where am I?

I absent-mindedly think….and a short time later I remember

(I, was embraced by s.h.i.+n-sama)

As a beastman, although I can't say I never thought a man would embrace me, I thought it was a pretty unlikely idle curiosity

Moreover it wasn't rape

Isn't it strange that I didn't just feel pain

The amount of pleasure I felt from the medicine was not little

All the stories I've heard each and every one is tragic and pain-filled, so if that sort of thing were to be done, I thought I it would be better to resolutely be killed

However, s.h.i.+n-sama wasn't like that and embraced me as if he held affection for me

Often calling out Rune, and if I gasped in pain he would stop moving

I was gently embraced, I thought

Although I was fl.u.s.tered when he told me he wouldn't stop, he let me experience a completely pleasant feeling

The feeling was too good, refusing such a feeling, there's not even a particle of such an intention

A safe place, expensive clothes, enough food to never go hungry….

Although he said I'm not a slave, he's given me too much

There's nothing I can do in return

(With this, was I at least a bit helpful?)

Although I can only help satisfy his s.e.xual desire

Even though all he needs to do if he want me to be a s.e.x slave is order me since I'm subordinated……

s.h.i.+n-sama didn't do that

He asked me

Even though I had no intention to refuse, only, he said it was fine for me to refuse

For some reason I felt calm being in s.h.i.+n-sama's embrace 

[I always want to stay like this]

Such a foolish thought, popped into my head

——even though there's no way it would come true

I am just a beasman that s.h.i.+n-sama saved due to his whimsy

Even though I should be satisfied with just this much, my chest hurts

What in the world is wrong with me?

In s.h.i.+n-sama's embrace, even though I feel safe, it hurts

"Yo…..chi……"

At that time I heard a small voice, and I was tightly embraced

With that, somehow or other, I could understand

I, resemble s.h.i.+n-sama's acquaintance, I, whose face resembles that person, was embraced as a subst.i.tute

(Who am I subst.i.tuting for….)

Although I know I'm in no position to criticize him for that

……but even so, why am I sad?

Even though it's my own feelings, I don't understand 

(…..come to think of it, Rau is?)

She isn't in this place

I remember we were in the dining room putting things away, after that I lost track of how much time pa.s.sed

While I did my best to slip out despite the pain in my lower back, s.h.i.+n-sama seemed to wake up

"……Are you up?"

The arms restraining me disappeared, and s.h.i.+n-sama's body slowly got up, I felt like something was off

"s.h.i.+n-sama, that hair……"

His hair that should only go to his shoulders now is the length to reach the bed even though he's sitting up

"Ah—…..when my reason flew away, it seemed to return to how it was originally"

It seems that this was his original appearance

Whenever he scratched his head his silky hair swayed

I wanted to touch it and unconsciously my hand reached out to it

"Why was it shortened?"

"Cause it's a bother"

His reply was concise

"……isn't it even longer than before"

I could hear him mutter in displeasure

"It being long, is unpleasant?"

Without getting up, I reach out and caress the nearby s.h.i.+n-sama's hair

It's silky smooth and feels nice

"Rune prefers it long?"

I unconsciously agree——

"Then when I'm awake, I'll stay like this"

Telling me such, I felt happy

To be able to have my request granted

"Want to see Rau? You should wear your clothes"

"Eh!? Wa,wait a moment"

Even though I felt sluggish and couldn't get up, to put on the clothes…….

Moreover, the clothes to put on were high quality clothes it's my first time wearing

The way to put on these clothes is difficult

I slowly gathered my clothes and intended put them on, but since I couldn't get my body up I can't properly put them on

"Clothes to Rune's room, Dress him in pajamas"

The clothes I'd managed to put on up till then disappeared and in exchange I was wearing the simple clothes like what s.h.i.+n-sama usually wore

The clothes were pale blue

Before I realized it s.h.i.+n-sama was already wearing clothes

Today's are different from usual, there are two slits below the waist and inside he's wearing pants

They are white colored and the hem is red

The pants are dark red

The hair was of course a bother, the hair on the sides were tied back with an expensive seeming golden hair clip

s.h.i.+n-sama who disappeared, soon returned

He's holding Rau in his arms

Although Rau had a face like she'd cried, after a moment she showed a smiling face

s.h.i.+n-sama sat on the bed and set her on top of his lap while she gently brushed his head

I reached out my hand and gently brushed his soft hair

(How pretty…..)

His jet black glossy hair was s.h.i.+ny and beautiful, I want to touch it forever

I lifted my fingers and enjoyed the feeling of the hair slipping across my hand, as s.h.i.+n-sama slowly stood up

"I’ll go search for a cook"

(Eh?)

Rau sat on the bed as he spoke to us

"Rau, today Rune can't really move much, so later I'll bring over some food"

"Okay"

"If you're a good child and wait then I'll bring back a present"

"Really?"

As I thought, he's skillful at handling children

I wonder if it's because he has his previous life's memories?

Did he perhaps have a child?

In that case, what sort of relations.h.i.+p did he have with the person with a similar face to me?

If I ask will he tell me?

s.h.i.+n-sama instantly disappears, and it's just me and Rau, us two have been left behind in s.h.i.+n-sama's room

"When do you think s.h.i.+n-sama'll come back?"

Even though he's only just now left, she's already waiting for his return

However just hearing that s.h.i.+n-sama isn't there, even though it's safe inside the castle, I can't help but feel scared

If someone came now……I thought of it

I can't move, and it seems my sword was sent along with my clothes to my room so it's not in this room

It was only because s.h.i.+n-sama was there that I could feel safe

(So that no one will come…..)

Since coming here, for the first time I began to feel anxious

"I wonder what sort of present it'll be?"

"Won't it be food?"

The things that s.h.i.+n-sama buys are only high cla.s.s goods far beyond my imagination

He's different from me who's never even had copper or silver bills, s.h.i.+n-sama can use who knows how many gold coins

Just the value he's spent on us up to now, we've never had

We aren't slaves

He doesn’t make us work either

Allowing us freedom, letting us sleep in the same bed even

I suppose we are important to him

What are we to s.h.i.+n-sama?
