Reincarnation in Another World Starting from Bones ~The Bare Hero Rise from a Skeleton (WN): Chapter 397

 

Divine Eye



"As expected, I was freaked out too! Because Anastasia’s face looked exactly like the portrait of the first queen in the castle!"



 On the ship on the way to the North American continent, Reinhard speaks to me in a familiar manner.



"That's right."



 I haven't gotten used to Reinhard's friendliness yet, so I answer curtly.



"I’ve always thought that Anastasia has class!


 Moreover, in her previous life, she was the princess of a great power, right?"


"Monkey nation?"


"Cedric, are you an idiot? There’s no way it is a monkey country!


 Or rather, you were also part of the Russian Empire, right?


 In your previous life, you were the crown prince there, right?


 You're stupid and uneducated, though."



 Reinhard, who is familiarly talking to me, said something rude to me.



"Shut up! I have no memories of my previous life!


 Until a while ago, I had no memory of my previous life!


 Basically, I'm a bad kid from an orphanage!"


"That's right. It's true that you were an idiot before you turned into bones.


 No matter how much Anastasia tried to help you, you just shook it off, became stubborn, and shut yourself up in your own shell!"



 Reinhard says it bluntly.



"Reinhard! You’re saying too much!


 In his previous life, Master was a boxed-up prince who was devoted to the country!


 This ignorant boxed-up prince was betrayed one after another by his trusted subordinates without understanding why, and in the end, he was shot multiple times with a gun and killed!


 The reason he can't trust people is because the trauma from that time remains!"



 Shiro interrupted Reinhard and I's conversation.



"But, Nee-san. Cedric seems to trust Nee-san and Kenji, right?"


"That's because, ever since Kenji was a baby who was adopted, and ever since I was a monster who didn't understand anything, Master raised us with his own hands!


 The depth of his relationship with Reinhard and Anastasia-san is different!"


"I see. It's true that Cedric has been popular for a long time, surprisingly, but he never tried to find a specific partner...


 It's that unapproachable, slightly gloomy feeling that makes him so popular among women!"


"That’s right! Master always say that he's going to make a harem, but in the end, he hasn’t built one yet!


 She sometimes has s*x with the SusS*x Knights, and only has paid businessman-like relationships with them!"


"Actually, Cedric is a timid person!"


"That’s right! If he puts his mind to it, he can always become a harem hero, but he never tries to become one!


 What exactly are the candidates for harem members?


 Normally, since he has the charm skill, he should be able to add as many girls as he likes to his harem!"


"Cedric is Cedric!


 That part hasn't changed at all since before he turned into bones!


 Well, once he lost his brain and started to look like an idiot, it became easier to get along with him than before!"



 Shiro and Reinhard are getting super excited.



 What previous life?


 I don't remember anything, so I don't understand anything!



"But you listen to what Anastasia-san, who was your older sister in a previous life, says!


 How much of a Sis-con are you?"



 Shiro reads my mind and starts talking to me.


 Reinhard, who didn't understand telepathy, was taken aback by the sudden change in topic.



"Don't say Sis-con!"


"Even in this life, you have a habit of liking a Nee-san type!"


"T... that's..."


"Well, incest was common among European royalty, so it might be normal for Master!"


"My heart is that of a modern Japanese! Incest is immoral, right?"


"In this life, there is no blood connection, so it is legal."


"Then I want a younger sister, not an older sister!"


"Maybe you admire younger sisters because you got bored of the older sister in your previous life?"


"Maybe."


"As expected, Master. Even in this life, you're still being dragged down by the memories of your previous life!"



 After three days of casual chatting, we finally arrived at our destination, New York, on the North American continent.



"Looks like we've arrived in New York!"


"Oh, that's right! It's a continent where demons live, so no humans live here!"


 What about the buildings in Manhattan! Where is the Statue of Liberty!?"


"Like I said, it doesn't exist! First of all, this place is New York on Earth, but in this world it doesn't even have a name!"


"Really? But Shiro said, [Looks like we've arrived in New York!]"


"I looked it up with my appraisal eye, and when it comes to names on Earth, it came up as New York!"


"With my appraisal skill, the only thing that comes up is the North American continent, you know?"


"I call my devil eye an appraisal eye because it’s a pain, but before I knew it, I had acquired various devil eyes, and it seems like they merged and became a divine eye…"



 Shiro tells me a shocking truth.



"What's that? I didn't know that!"


"I didn’t say it!"


"But you have eight other eyes, right?"


"Everything is divine!"


"There’s no point in having the same eight Divine Eyes, is there?"


"Two is better than one. Three is more accurate than two"


 However, the more I open them, the more mana they will take!"


"Is that so?"


"That's right!"


"What kind of precision does that mean?"


"If I want to predict the future, I can look for 3 seconds when I open one divine eye. 6 seconds if I open two. 10 seconds if I open three!


 I can't open the fourth divine eye with my current mana, so I don't know what will happen!"


"You! Can you predict the future? If you could know what's going to happen 10 seconds in the future, you'd never lose at poker or gambling!"


"I don't think I'll lose, but if I were to play poker with three divine eyes on my forehead open, I'm sure people would get suspicious..."


"Indeed... your divine eye is super scary..."


"But there are also other functions I can use!


 If I open the three Divine Eyes, I will be able to use Wikip*dia from the time when Master was in Japan!"


"W... what!?"



 Once again, a surprising fact.



"Apparently, it’s like the top version of the Appraisal Eye!"



 Shiro opens three divine eyes, takes out a magic smartphone from her magic bag, and begins surfing the internet.



"I didn’t expect it to be a magic smartphone… And it’s connected to the internet normally, rather than Wikip*dia!"


"I only use Wikip*dia!"


"Are you the female version of Smartphone In Another World, the one who used the internet in another world and was so popular in the anime?"


"Yes! I'm Smartphone Hanako!"



 That's how Shiro's unrivaledness became more and more apparent.
