３１ Saine
Thinking that it was pointless as he heads to the guild, he confirms that there’s no work available. Even while knowing that there’d be no job during this time, there were a lot of guards gathered up besides Saine.
[Yo~. How was it?]
Dole was there when he turned around. By ‘how’, he’s probably asking about that guy.
[As if I’m going to shove it into such a kid.]
[Well, I’d do it even if she’s a kid if she’s a woman though.]
IF he’s a woman, Saine also agrees with that. His cr*tch that was so full of energy is dangling without getting an action.
[And so, what do you plan to do?]
[About what?]
[You can’t have a child if you don’t hold him, and if he can’t have a child, he’s cheap.]
[There’s no guarantee that he’ll get pregnant even if I embrace him, is there?]
[Well, that makes sense. I’ve actually never seen a pregnant male Reincarnator.]
Although rumors can be collected as information, he only believes those that he has seen with his own eyes. That was important in order to survive as a guard.
[……How can I sell him?] S
[It’s not like you can have him stand in the market, right?] D
[He’ll get sized up and the price will be beaten down.] S
[Rather than that, I find doing that pitiful all the same.] D (TN: Huh, I never would’ve thought he knows what the word ‘pitiful’ means. Maybe I’ve misunderstood him… hmmm)
Upon saying that, Dole furrowed his brows.
[……I’ll look after him for a bit until he has calmed down. I find his whimpering unpleasant though.]
[That would probably be for the best.]
The women apparently keep crying for about a month. Since he’s a guy, it should be enough if he cries for half a month. I’ll take care of him only to that degree and sell him later. Let’s go with that, Saine decided.
Even if he decides to look after him(M) for half a month, it grates his nerves to simply leave him(M) behind. He was made to pay 1 million ales on that guy. Then, let’s make him work a little.
Reincarnators can’t work outside so I will make him do house chores. It would be good if he can buy our meals, but water needs to be drawn in order to take a bath, and firewood also has to be chopped. He tried to get him to do either of those, but the Reincarnator said he will do all the house chores.
He(S) was a little surprised but decided to let him(M) do it.
In the flow of the conversation, they also talked about selling him(M). He(S) thought that he(M) would be crying but he(M) also easily accepted this. Saine stroked down his(S) chest in his mind*. They’re both men but that guy’s tiny stature is the problem. It’s really hard to deal with. (TN: Probably in relief because the MC didn’t bawl his eyes out.)
In the first place, it was surprising how easily he was sent flying by just a slight bump. He judges that it is dangerous to treat him(M) the same way he(S) treats Dole and his other guard colleagues. His(M) shoulders would flinch just by me raising my voice, and his body jumped up just because I knocked down the chair. How should I put it, it’s like I’m dealing with a squirrel.
He said he would cook, but he(S) honestly didn’t expect anything. He(S) thinks that meals from the food stalls are enough. Saine has never cooked before either. He also took salt from the rock in the garden but that was only the basic snack for the alcohol.
But……
The Reincarnator’s cooking was delicious. It was surprisingly delicious. To the point that it makes him think that there’s no need to go to the food stalls to eat.
Saine secretly looked forward to the daily evening meals.
On his way home, when he saw the Reincarnator at the market, he wondered what he(M) was up to.
There shouldn’t have been a reason for him to come to the market. Wondering where he’s(M) going, he(S) erases his presence and follows him(M).
The Reincarnator seemed unaware and was being jostled by people.
He’s a guy so it’s fine, but if he was a woman then it would have been very worrisome. He now understands the feeling of those who want to hide their wife at home.
Rubbed by the waves of other men, he’s being swept away in an indescribable manner. The people around him(M) are also aware of what they’re doing. He’s a Reincarnator no matter how you look at him. He’s so tiny and thin. As if there’s a man like that in this world.
He may be unaware that he’s being played around, the Reincarnator scuffles forward while groaning.
Saine stands right behind him(M) to at least block the teasing from behind.
The Reincarnator is simply thinking that he is within a crowd. However, doesn’t he notice that he’s being touched everywhere by those hands that stretch here and there?
He(S) wants to ask what’s so fun in touching a man, but male Reincarnators can also be considered rare. They’re touching something unusual.
But there are also those who are unaware of the Reincarnator. There’s a man who swings his arm unintentionally. He(S) naturally didn’t overlook it and reached out.
This Reincarnator is dense but it’s not to the point that he doesn’t notice the hands that appeared out of nowhere in front of him. He looked up at Saine and was surprised.
He asked where the Reincarnator wanted to go and was shocked. It was too reckless to leave the town. It’s especially dangerous at this time.
But he’s more surprised as they walk on. Especially when he was told that he(M) has already been to the place of a beast farmer. He(S) is relieved that he(M) managed to return safely but, the words “don’t leave the town” that Saine severely said were understood by the Reincarnator in a distorted way.
He interpreted it as, ‘if he gets into trouble then it will become a bother to Saine.’ Although it’s also true that that is the case, does it not cross his(M) mind that he(S) is genuinely thinking about his(M) safety? It was troublesome to explain a bunch of things so Saine also decided to go along with it.
But the Reincarnator who was trying to move forward behind Saine once again got jostled.
No matter how he looks at it, he’s(M) being preyed on. ‘What a great crowd’, the Reincarnator was laughing, but, Saine wanted to tell him, ‘You’re currently a food that’s thrown into a crowd of beasts’.
He kept getting touched in the shoulders, chest, and cr*tch but he didn’t notice at all.
It can’t be helped, Saine sighed, hugged the Reincarnator’s shoulders, and pulled him(M) towards himself(S). They continue to move forward in that position. Once Saine tightly stuck to him, the people around them also stopped touching.
All Reincarnators have a husband. The husband has complete ownership, and if that is ignored and you put a hand on her, there’s no complaining even if you’re killed.
Even if the husband is a peasant and the one killed is a priest, he can’t complain.
Holding the Reincarnator’s shoulders, he keeps an eye out on his surrounding. The people around him draw back and look at them with curious eyes. ‘A male Reincarnator, so he drew a miss.’ The crowd’s eyes were ridiculing him(S).
Saine secretly clicked his tongue. Even while clicking, he was surprised at the Reincarnator’s frailness.
