I Became the Wrong Race

133 – Golem (10)

“First of all… “I would like to apologize for my rudeness earlier.”

“Did your grandmother tell you to say that?”

Two shapeshifters, whose names I heard were Elimul and Elise, were in front of me.

Two people with hair as red as the sunset, growing out indiscriminately. Transformers who probably look like twins.

Those two were showing me a completely different attitude from their previous attitude.

Elise, a woman who lowers her head and avoids eye contact.

And Elimule makes eye contact with me and smiles full of kindness.

The two of them were showing their affection for me in different ways.

“The Empress told us to treat him fairly as he is a potential collaborator and adopted son.”

“Is that what this is?”

“You can say yes or no.”

Elimule approaches with a smile. I looked at those transformation people.

Of course, receiving favor from others is not a bad thing. Rather, it feels good.

In particular, Elise, who looks like her younger sister, has a cute face, but she also has the same fierce look she had just a moment ago, so she has her own charm.

However, when I remember what I realized a little while ago, I couldn’t just like it.

The factor in my body, something I don’t know exactly, was attracting the beings from the three clans.

And so intensely and secretly that even he himself would not find it strange.

If the person you were dealing with was not Isla or Lorian, but someone you didn’t know at all, it wouldn’t be strange to suspect that you did it on purpose.

Probably those two too. Elise and Elimule. The two people I had beaten up just a moment ago were showing me an unbelievable kindness.

When I didn’t know it, it was just a good ability, but once I found out, I felt strangely reluctant about it.

No, it’s a good thing as long as you don’t feel comfortable. The worst situation comes to mind.

What if someone tells you that your crush on those two guys is fake and that you actually don’t like them that much?

Or what if that feeling of goodwill suddenly reverses?

Since it was something that was easily obtained, the possibility of losing it could not be dismissed as nonsense.

Rather, I was well aware of how easily the things gained in that way could disappear.

The day my older sister, who had taken care of me since birth, disappeared, I realized that everything disappears more easily than I thought.

Even if my sister didn’t disappear that day, anything could happen in this cold reality.

There was a car accident and my sister… Oh, fuck.

It was painful just to think about it. My heart was pounding and I felt like I was going to vomit, so I chewed my lip without realizing it, and Lorian came next to me.

“Are you okay? “My complexion is not good.”

“No, it’s okay. Rather than me… Are you okay?”

“I-I… “Umm.”

Lorian’s expression she was similarly not very good. She hesitated for a moment and then got away from me, and Elise and Elimule were looking at me while talking about various things.

A look of caution and fear, as if something had made him feel uncomfortable, or if something had bothered him.

The sight itself made me feel uncomfortable. It’s a crush that can change at any time, but it was still difficult for me to let go of someone who liked me.

It might seem like a temperament that wouldn’t be a problem, but it was when a problem actually occurred that it became a problem.

What if the goodwill they had really evaporated and nothing remained?

What if I actually feel like they are human beings and at least feel like they are friends?

Could I harm those I only consider my friends?

It was a problem that could not be definitively resolved. I shook my head at the twins who were looking at me worriedly with pained expressions, and they looked at me for a moment before leading the way.

We were crossing a village of golems.

As we each walked with different images of the scenery, what we saw was bound to be different, but at least the paths we walked overlapped.

“Our mission was to investigate that.”

Ellie Muhl stretches her fingers. At the end of the direction her finger was pointing, there was something rising like Mount Tai.

A mountain range with a face. Something whose exact identity is unknown, let alone what it is.

As expected, the shapeshifters seemed to have noticed that and were trying to investigate.

The owner of the golem and something whose exact identity is unknown.

Maybe something that could be God, just like ‘Father’ was.

When I saw that, a possibility that I had never imagined before appeared.

‘Father’ was once a god.

It was a being loved by all things, and all creation loved it.

Can that really be called love? If forcing love on others is an ability.

That would be better…

I find myself chewing my lip again without realizing it. Isla, whose body I had already overlapped, came to mind.

Would I be okay if Isla’s feelings suddenly reversed?

To be honest, I don’t think she’ll be fine. I felt like everything I did could have been violence and coercion to Isla.

That’s why I told Lorian to be careful…

It didn’t occur to me that this was something I could be careful about.

What should I do?

Should I talk to my sister? If it’s my sister, she it’s definitely …

“Eat it.”

As I was feeling sick and swallowing to calm myself down, a hand suddenly reached into my field of vision.

I recognized that hand too late.

The woman who had been beaten to death under my hands, the owner of her somewhat innocent-looking face, was giving me candy.

“… Candy?”

“You know. Did you see it while it was being held in her blood bag?”

No, I know because I am a modern person.

I don’t say things like that. It just gets confusing for both of us.

“Yes. This…”

“It’s candy made from medicinal herbs. “It’s good for motion sickness, so I eat it when I descend.”

“You don’t chew your tongue?”

“You can regenerate it even if you chew it.”

Ah, these are shapeshifters. I understood it because it was a new fact, but I felt somewhat awkward.

Still, it was true that I felt sick, so I took the candy without hesitation and put it in my mouth.

Even if there is poison, my body is not a body that can be eaten by poison, and at best, even if the effects of the poison increase, I can only accelerate regeneration with the power spreading from the ‘heart’.

A simple thought occurred to me that they couldn’t betray their favor already, but I tried to ignore it and put the candy in my mouth and licked it.

There was a spicy scent. It looks like ginger, or something like licorice.

However, it was consistently sweet and pleasant, and I felt like my stomach ache was subsiding.

Definitely, it was the first time I felt like this since I was trolled before my promotion.

No, is it worse than that? Actually, I don’t even remember much anymore.

I was imprisoned for a year and had nothing to do.

“Personally… “I want to apologize.”

“I hit first, so there’s no need for that”

“No, no. Considering it’s a mission, there’s no need to get upset… It was a matter of stopping and persuading. “I wasn’t going to die anyway, but I overreacted.”

She was Elise, the woman who had been beaten by me and then transformed and grew at me, asking if she wanted to be beaten, she apologized politely to me.

It was uncomfortable.

“I don’t really care… Don’t apologize. “I would have been upset too.”

“You are generous.”

No way. You are being manipulated.

But I walk without showing it. I felt like I should take advantage of what had already happened, but I didn’t know if I could actually use it.

I guess I’m a bit of a soft kid. The second mourner was also the ones who tried to kill me.

No, in fact, from the second mourning until now, most of my mourning was mourning the people who tried to kill me.

It occurred to me that maybe I was more of a dick than I imagined. Not with the body, but with the spirit.

The spicy yet subtle sweetness of the candy was comforting.

Before we knew it, we were passing through the center of the golems’ village and getting closer to the soaring peak-like mountain.

The candy all melted and disappeared, but the inside did not boil anymore.

There was only the bitter taste that remained after the candy had melted in my mouth.

“Is this what it felt like?”

While the shapeshifter twins were talking to the golems blocking the road, Lorian approached.

She had been watching Elise and Elimule behave from a distance, without saying a word.

Apparently our contact with them lasted less than a day. Nevertheless, Elise was openly showing her favor towards me, and even Ellie Mule was showing favor towards me.

Even though just a few hours ago, they were stabbing each other with their fists and trying to kill each other.

This was the part where I could see that it was a very powerful fascination. What’s even more scary is that this isn’t everything.

“It feels like a snowball is rolling.”

As Lorian said, my fascination was growing in weight at an incredible rate, like a snowball rolling and expanding its own body.

Isla was somewhat wary of me at first, but she showed some kindness.

Before she knew it, she was considering me as her husband.

Lorian, the blood knight who could take my head off without hesitation, was already at the point where she declared herself my lover.

Wasn’t Ortemilia like that too? She said she felt maternal towards me.

An alchemist who must have done a lot of research for a long time can only have maternal feelings toward a test subject.

It was impossible. That in itself revealed the abnormality of my abilities.

“What do you want to do?”

So I asked Lorian. She frowned in pain and then sighed.

Still looking confused, he ruffled his hair and glanced up at me.

There was still goodwill in those eyes.

“I don’t know. I’m confused. I need to clear my mind a bit.”

As she said that, she looked at me for a moment. After pondering whether it was okay to say this, she said with a long sigh.

“For sure… If this ability is used well, it will be possible to unite and revive not only the blood family but also the entire clan.”

Lorian sweeps away his prosthetic hand while speaking. Before she knew it, she was making a sad expression.

“I don’t know if this is right or not. Of course, that may not be your intention. I’m not sure if I can completely believe that… “Because I don’t know.”

Lorian is not stupid. Although he was immature and naive, Lorian was still an excellent blood knight.

She probably knows logically that I have no reason to do that.

But when were humans the product of perfect reason?

Humans are rather emotional animals. Even the three clans were no different.

Ever since Lorian realized that her feelings were fake and may have been manipulated, she had been wary of me and suffering.

How much is real, how much is fake, and is it really not my intention?

If it was intentional, what kind of plan did they have for doing this?

She seemed more confused because she didn’t know.

There was nothing I could do as her suspicious eyes gripped her. We can only hope that Lorian will come up with the answer himself.

In the midst of this, only her hand that reached out and grabbed her collar revealed something about her that she could not suppress.

“I hope we have a chance to talk fully, even later.”

And then a hand quietly releases my sleeve her her her her. As she distanced herself, her shapeshifting twin she approached me.

“Shall we come in?”

I followed them into the interior of Geosan.

Into the body of something unknown that was once the owner of the golem.
