Chapter 32: A God
or a Criminal?
「Valetta-san, I want to ask you something」(Isaac)
Fifteen minutes had passed since Kazura’s group had walked towards the
village.
Isaac, who’d walked in front while thinking about something, stopped his
feet and turned around to ask Valetta.
「The people of Grisea Village…… Do they also think of this man as
Greysior-sama?」(Isaac)
While saying this Isaac made a sidelong glance at Kazura’s face, Issac’s
expression was really serious.
‘This man’, when he said these words, his confusion could be faintly heard
just in his way of talking. 「I came from God’s
Realm」. He might be troubled by Kazura’s
words even if it was just a little bit.
「And your basis of why you believe this to be so?」(Isaac)
「That is……」(Valetta)
Receiving Isaac’s question, Valetta made a quick glance at Kazura’s
direction.
「(Can I say it?...... Is what Valetta want to say, right? In this situation then there is no other way
than to speak honestly to some degree……)」(Kazura)
Kazura could read what Valetta gaze means and so he made a slight nod.
After Valetta confirmed that Kazura had nod, after a short pause, she
continued her words again.
「The events so far are completely identical to the legend of Greysior-sama that
is passed down in this village. One month ago, when the food shortage
threatened to destroy us, this gentleman suddenly appeared from inside the tree
grove and brought a large amount of food and saved everyone.」(Valetta)
Hearing Valetta’s explanation, the two soldiers at the back gasped.
Contrasting with those soldiers, Isaac’s countenance didn’t even change.
「Completely identical to the legend? Since you say this then his attire, the
food effect, and other details were the same thing as in the legend?」(Isaac)
「……That’s right. Wearing clothes made from fabrics that we’d never seen before
until now, just by eating a bit of the food our physical strength gushed up
just like a miracle.」 (Valetta)
「That food and cloth, did you put it somewhere in the village?」(Isaac)
「That is……」(Valetta)
Receiving Isaac’s rapid question, Valetta could be seen thinking how far
she could go while giving her reply.
Perhaps, she was guessing the content of the luggage that Kazura brought
from Japan several hours ago while talking to Isaac.
As for the massive quantity of books in the residence, it could be easily
be covered up so there were no likelihood for it to be found, but the travel
bag and carry case was left alone inside Kazura’s room.
After coming back from Japan, he never opened the bag or carry case, so Valetta
didn’t know their content.
……similarly, since Kazura also never saw the content of the carry case, he
didn’t know about the things that was inside it, however,
「It’s in my room at Village Chief’s residence. In that place I put things
that I brought from God’s Realm.」(Kazura)
「So the things in that room, was everything that you had brought?」(Isaac)
Isaac threw another question at Kazura that intrude in the conversation.
Perhaps if he knew what the things and where it located, he could order his
subordinate to collect it.
「……No, I suppose some of the food that I had brought also exist in every
house in the village.」(Kazura)
After he started to live in the village, he gave food to the villagers
several times, so every house should have some of them stored.
The family with baby also had some formula milk powder remained, and there
should be some rice and canned food remained.
「……Is that so?」(Isaac)
Isaac muttered and then he turned towards the soldier that stood behind
Kazura.
「Untie this man.」(Isaac)
「Yes, Sir!」(Soldier)
The soldier that receive Isaac’s order gave a short reply, then after
entrusting his short spear to the other soldier, he began untying the rope that
bind Kazura’s hand behind his back.
Because Isaac knew about the legend of Greysior, as the result from hearing
Valetta and Kazura’s story, he conclude that if they returned to the village in
this state then it could end badly.
「Although the rope is removed, don’t ever think for a moment about escaping.
Since that impudent behavior only add more weight on you grave crime.」(Isaac)
「Crime…… Excuse me, but what kind of crime I had committed that I am
arrested like this?」(Kazura)
「Your charge of crime is…… Root.」(Isaac)
Kazura responded to the word ‘Crime’ and so asked a question. Isaac opened
his mouth to answer but he immediately close it, then he called out to the
soldier that stood behind Valetta.
「Yes.」(Root)
「State the crimes charged on this man.」(Isaac)
When he received the order, the still young soldier ―― his name seems to be
Root ―― correcting his posture and began explaining.
「The crimes are perjury and illegal entry. However…… if his name is listed
in the in the Grisea Village name register in Isteria, then the last charge
isn’t applicable. Still, in case his place of origin is outside Grisea Village
and is a settlement inside the Isteria territory, then except for special case
changing place of residence without permission is not allowed, the penalty
imposed on illegal residence changing is either a fine or forced labor.」(Root)
Hearing explanation that Root smoothly spoke, while caressing his unbounded
wrist, Kazura let out a sigh.
It appears that the law maintenance in this world was firmer than what
Kazura had thought before.
But he never expected that the prospect for him to know about this was when
he was being arrested.
Isaac, hearing Root’s explanation, nodded and then turned back to Kazura.
「Just like what he said. Because the villagers believed that you are
Greysior-sama, I temporarily release you from the rope, however it doesn’t mean
that I had acquitted you. You will follow our instruction until the
investigation is finished.」(Isaac)
「Do you mean that this gentleman will be taken and cross examined in
Isteria?」(Valetta)
Valetta spoke these words with anxious expression, Isaac affirmed and
nodded, ‘That’s right’.
「In the current situation, I cannot help from doing so」(Isaac)
「However...」(Valetta)
「Valetta-san, it’s alright.」(Kazura)
As if to prevent Valetta from opposing too
fervently, Kazura called out to her.
Until now, Isaac had been polite in dealing with
Kazura’s group, but he was a noble.
Since he had been polite in his interaction so
far, it was easy to forget about it, however for a mere peasant to talk back at
nobles, it might be something impudent in this world.
Thinking about things that could happen next,
not only Kazura, but Valetta and the villagers shouldn’t give unfavorable impression
to Isaac as best as they could.
「It seems that Isaac-san is different from the feudal lord that met with me
a long time ago. Just like he had said, it will be fine to me to go and have a
talk in Isteria.」(Kazura)
「But……」(Valetta)
「Isaac-san, in case I have proven myself as Greysior in the legend, then can
I be considered as guiltless of any crime?」(Kazura)
「……That is…」(Isaac)
Kazura asked without any apprehension and wrung
out an answer from Isaac.
Kazura’s question had the same meaning as: “Can
you punish a God?”
Since faith in gods was the norm in this
country, of course there could be no other answer.
「If you really are Greysior-sama, then I can’t charge you with crime.
However, if you are lying, then……」(Isaac)
「…… If I’m lying, then?」(Kazura)
Isaac said it in pretentious way, so Kazura
asked, then Isaac opened his mouth with a grinning expression.
「You might be punished by pulling out your tongue. In case you are proven to
be lying, then the judge could give out a verdict to you for inciting people by
impersonating God. It would be unlikely that the sentence is other than capital
punishment or the equivalent.」(Isaac)
「I see, so if I’m lying then my tongue will be pulled out. That is
frightening.」(Kazura)
「……」(Isaac)
Fumufumu, it was as if Kazura had listened to
something interesting, Isaac was dumbfounded, but after letting out a sigh and once
again he straighten his expression.
「…..Either way, we will return to the village to confirm the room in the
residence. After seeing the goods that you said had been brought from God’s
Realm, then I can hand some judgment for you.」
Isaac said this, and once more began walking
towards the village.
✦✧✦✧
It had been 10 minutes as they walked towards the village with Isaac as the
lead.
When they finally reach the entrance of the village, one of the two
soldiers who was guarding the village entrance, came running to meet Isaac.
The soldier was heavily armored with wearing bronze reinforced thick
leather armor and helmet, a shield in his back, and a short spear in his hand.
「How did it went?」(Isaac)
Isaac called out to the soldier that came rushing began saluting to give report.
「The inhabitants had been contained inside their own home. We have gained
total control of the Village Chief’s residence, currently Vice Captain is
giving directions from the residence.」(Soldiers)
「Good. There is no one injured?」(Isaac)
「Yes. There are neither a single soldier nor villager injured, since Vice-Captain
had strictly ordered to absolutely refrain from any violent conducts.」
Hearing that report, Isaac nodded in satisfaction.
Apparently, while Kazura’s group was away from the village, Isaac’s
subordinate had gained control of the village.
Because Kazura was worried if the villagers saw his current condition, it
was fortunate that the villagers were detained inside their house.
If the villagers were separated and isolated in their house, then the
possibility of them conducting a mass uprising to rescue Kazura would also be
low.
Although in the future, it might be necessary to do a follow up by
gathering the villagers to receive an explanation straight from Kazura’s mouth.
「Indeed, good job. Return to your post.」(Isaac)
「Yes, Sir!」(Soldier)
After Isaac sent the soldier back to his post, he turned towards Kazura’s
group.
「Then, we will head towards Village Chief’s residence, however I sincerely
ask you to follow without making a clamor. All the villagers might be inside
their houses, but their ears might pick up the noise.」(Isaac)
Both of them nodded affirmatively, then Isaac began walking towards the
residence.
✦✧✦✧
「Ah, Captain」(Isaac’s Aide/Vice-Captain)
「Kazura-san! So, you are safe!」(Valin)
When they arrived at the residence, the vice-captain and Valin, the village
chief, who were in deep conversation about something in the entrance, greeted
them.
The soldier in the residence was not the vice-captain alone but also
several others that were patrolling around the residence.
「……Kazura?」(Isaac)
Isaac turned around after hearing Valin’s words.
「It’s my alias in the village.」(Kazura)
Kazura began explaining.
「I had said that I am Kazura, a travelling merchant, to the villagers…….
Well, but it looks like everyone already know about my true identity.」(Kazura)
「Wha……!」(Valin)
Valin had his breath taken away by Kazura’s unexpected words.
Until now he was under impression that Kazura hadn’t knew yet, but it was
also not something impossible if Kazura said that he already knew.
Kazura smiled to Valin who had became pale because of this situation and
said that it’ll fine.
「Even if my true identity has been found out, I will not disappear from the
village. So do not worry.」(Kazura)
「How could…… Greysior-sama……」(Valin)
「……What is going on?」(Vice-Captain)
While seeing the conversation between Kazura and Valin, the Vice-Captain,
who didn’t understand the situation at all, made a puzzled expression when he
heard the word that Valin expressed.
Isaac wanted to open his mouth to explain to the Vice-Captain, but after
examining the surrounding situation, he went towards and stood beside the
Vice-Captain.
「Captain, what the heck had……」(Vice-Captain)
「I will explain later. Just get inside the residence first……Both of you
stand guard at this place. Absolutely do not let anyone enter inside.」(Isaac)
Without knowing the reason for the current situation, the Vice-Captain requested
an explanation from Isaac, but Isaac replied in such way, so he obediently
entered the residence.
Root and one other soldier, who were ordered to stand guard, took their
position at both sides of the entrance to the residence.
「Which room?」(Isaac)
「It’s the room further inside from the living room.」(Kazura)
When Isaac entered the residence, he headed towards the room that Kazura
pointed out.
While walking towards the room, Valetta, who was beside Kazura, was
thinking hardly about something, while Kazura himself was quite nervous.
If Isaac saw the various tools that he had brought from Japan, then Isaac
also had no choice but to admit that Kazura is『A person who came from God’s Realm』……As Greysior.
However, the problem was “What will happen next?”
First, it could be said that he would certainly be taken to Isteria.
Just because Isaac accepted that Kazura was Greysior, it was unthinkable
for him to let Kazura go.
Even if Isaac didn’t make a move on Kazura, the people who receive Isaac’s
report and know about his existence would think of ways they could use him, so there
was no doubt that they would utilize various means to curry favor from him.
Although he could push through a chance to return to Japan and become a free
man, but if he done this then he didn’t know what kind of treatment the people
of Grisea Village would receive in the future
Kazura was frantically thinking for ways to resolve this peacefully, when
Isaac’s hand reached the door to the room, he immediately put away the things he
was thinking about.
First, he need to make Isaac accept that he is Greysior.
Whatever would happen then, he can just deal with it later.
「……is this it?」(Isaac)
Isaac opened the door and squatted near the travel bag and carry case in
the middle of the room. He touched it while making a small mutter.
What Isaac touched was the carry case that made from resin[2], however of course he had
never touched something like this before.
The travel bag was made from polyester, so it was also the first time he
saw something like this.
By the way, beside the bag and the case was Kazura’s clothing, that he was wearing
when he came, folded nicely, however it seemed that Isaac postponed examining it
for the time being.
「Is this made from leather?」(Isaac)
「No, it is made from petroleum.」(Kazura)
「Peudroleum?...... What’s that?」(Isaac)
Isaac made a response towards the word ‘petroleum’ that he had never heard
before. When Kazura look towards Valetta, she shook her head slightly.
It seemed that, in this world, the word ‘petroleum’ was not known.
Kazura thought that if it ‘oil’ then Isaac would know this word, but since
it was troublesome to explain, he just decided to cut the words short and leave
it be.
「It’s a flammable water in God’s Realm. After processing it, it was made
into that.」(Kazura)
It was a lackluster explanation, but there were no lies in his summary.
Isaac muttered with marveling expression.
「Is this also made from water?」(Isaac)
He rubbed the travel bag several times, then he turned his face towards
Kazura.
「I want to confirm the content of this, but…」(Isaac)
「……I understand.」(Kazura)
Hearing Isaac’s request, Kazura approached and kneeled to open the zipper.
Inside the travel bag, there were a lot of goods that Kazura had purchased
in Japan like aroma oil, lipo-D and many other things.
Kazura reached his hand inside the bag, and took out a penlight.
「That is?」(Isaac)
Isaac stared at the penlight that Kazura took out with great interest.
「Well, please watch this.」(Kazura)
When Kazura said this, he pointed the penlight to the wall, then pressed
the switch located on its side.
「Wha!?」(Isaac)
At the moment it was switched on, the penlight shined the wall with a
bright light. Isaac forgot how to breathe.
Behind Kazura, the Vice-Captain also made the same surprised expression just
like Isaac.
Kazura who sensed Isaac’s group reaction gave a proper feedback.
「This is a tube with the light spirit’s power contained inside, so it could be
used as a tool for illumination. Then as for the other…」(Kazura)
It was a good thing that Isaac’s group was so surprised that they couldn’t
speak even a word. While adding a suitable explanation, Kazura was wondering
what kind of thing to show next, and put his hand inside the bag.

*CLIFF*
NEXT WEEK:
*SPOILER*
Looking at my own smartphone:
The core of this tool is made from layered wafers made from purified sand
and deep earth rock that had been crafted in such way so the gap between the
layers is much smaller than even the tip of the hair. It is powered by a
miniscule form of lightning circulating inside the numerous finely crafted
conduits between the gaps. The gaps was the location where resided a complex
semi-sapient highly intelligent familiar that handle orders input, processing
it, and executing it with such speed and precision that even the most
intelligent human hardly able to match it…… Also you can talk with other
people!
[1] Valetta use Okata お方. A polite form to refer a third
party. The best English have is Lady or Gentleman. Umm… Any help?
[2] The resin that is mentioned in this section refers to
synthetic resin (epoxy resin or polyester resin). Kazura’s carry case most
likely from polyester or polypropilene resin.
In case you confused by Kazura "crime". In Serfdom, a serf could not move away without their lord's consent and the acceptance of the lord to whose land they wanted to migrate to. And they have limited social mobility.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the migration laws that they have in mainland china.
DeleteWhere people from outside big cities such as shanghai or shenzhen can't legally move and live there without registrating and getting approval from the local that you are migrating and immigrating to.
it seems that what kazura did was tresspassing, as tresspassing itself is a big crime, even in skyrim hahaha
DeleteThanks for the Chapter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteKazuma :
Issac : And what purpose does this oddly shaped tool serve?
Kazuma : ...
Thanks for the new chapter!
ReplyDeleteKazuma pulls his hand out of the bag,firmly gripping a.44 magnum aiming it between Issaacs eyes.....lol
ReplyDeleteAin't possible because the Japs have a dumb law that prohibits the use of guns for self defense.
DeleteNo problem....he is not in Japan anymore lol
DeleteYou didn't understand. Getting a gun is extremely hard in japan. Even some criminal organizations don't all use guns.
DeleteEven the lower level yakuza don't walk around packing. It is not like in the US or other countries were even small time crooks have a gun.
Or dumb american law of "self defence" who got shot every other week right?
Deletewhat if he pulls ero-book from his bag?
ReplyDeletewont it create new type of entertaiment in fantasy world?
Behold! The heavenly bodies of goddesses from god's realm!

DeleteKazura "playing" God xD
ReplyDeletewell he's family of their god, so basically a god himself right?
Deletethanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteお方 is "this gentleman" ("gentleman" is a derivation of "man", "gentle" + "man", thus it's inflected in the same way, being "gentleman" singular and "gentlemen" plural; the same happens with "woman", plural "women").
About the "resin" thing, just visiting a certain online retailer based in Japan and searching with the keywords "carry case" and "resin", the most hits show polycarbonate or mixture polycarbonate+ABS.
Ah! I'm bad with plural. Thanks for noticing it.
DeleteAh I see...... Japanese like their carry case colorful, glossy and had 41% discount if buy it in Rakuten... :P...
I'm guessed polypropylene because that what the carry case in the hospital made from.... and yes, the polypropylene case is dark and not kawaii at all...
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteperjury? Isn't that lying in court?
ReplyDeleteHow is he guilty of that?
Perjury, also known as forswearing, is the intentional act of swearing a false oath or of falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters material to an official proceeding.
DeleteIn this case: Official proceeding --> asked by Isaac, an official.
So Kazura is charged with giving a "false" statement.
The original Japanese is 偽証罪. And it means crime of perjury
Didn't his father gave him "personal security goods"?
ReplyDeleteOh for the love of.... Kazura after your trial don't give anything to Isaac.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, give him some laxative. XD
Not a good idea, considering how everything he brings has a bigger effect, like the fertilizer, or the energy drinks.
DeleteHe really should go back to japan, fo to black market, buy some engineered biological weapon, come back to these insolent fools and release the MWD.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, he has money and he never put it in any good use. He should grows some fcking balls like Chinese protagonists.
You may or may not bully others but never let others bully you.
YES! YEEESS! I love you!
DeleteThe people being saved in this village was your doing?! Moreover provided food and tools?! How dare you! Restrain this man!
ReplyDeleteIt'd be awesome if we could add some xianxia op killing spree or at least shower them with fear somehow... hate seeing people put other people down like this.
