I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat! C89


Chapter 89: history class and library

I talked with Ronnie about the food stall in the morning, and now second period is about to start. Today's second period is history, so I'm looking forward to it.

A little after class time, the old teacher, who was quite old, appeared.


She said, ``I'll be in charge of the history class. I'll be looking forward to your help from now on.''


With that said, the history lesson began. You didn't even introduce yourself! ?  Grandpa-sensei is pretty good, but I wonder if he'll be okay.

Her hips are quite bent and her face is swollen. However, her hair remains a beautiful green color. It's dry but...

Come to think of it, don't people in this world get gray hair even when they get old? She may have never met many people with white hair...?


"Then, let's start the story from when this country was created. About 500 years ago, there were no major powers on this continent, and small countries were scattered all over the place. Countries were born and then quickly destroyed. It was a time of war. ”


It's like the Sengoku period in Japan. I'm really glad I didn't reincarnate in that era.


"People died more and more. Children were born but could not grow. The environment was too bad. The land was devastated by the war, making it difficult for crops to grow. There was less food to eat. As a result, conflicts started again. It got more intense. That kind of vicious cycle was happening."


That's too bad...was the situation really that bad? If we're not good at it, humans will become extinct.


"At that time, a girl was born in a small country. That girl was an apostle of God. It is said that the apostle mastered all attribute magic and had knowledge of various gods."


It's about the apostle! I've always been told that you're an apostle, so I'm really curious.


"No kind of attack will work on the apostle. The apostle can take things out of nothing. The apostle can travel long distances in an instant. There are many anecdotes like this."


The apostle was such an amazing person! ? "You're totally different from me!"

Even so, it seems like a barrier that no attack will work on. Besides, item boxes allow you to take things out of thin air, and teleportation allows you to move long distances in an instant.

It's like something out of a novel.


 …………Yeah? But that's about this world, right?


If that's the case, does that mean those magics can be used in this world? Or is it limited to apostles?

I want to try it next time...


"Such an apostle brought this war-torn world together. He annexed many countries and created the Kingdom of Lathrasia. That was the beginning of this country."


The story from there was about a world in turmoil. I'm quite interested in the story of the Sengoku period in another world, but I've always been curious about the apostle.

The apostle's story ended quickly, but I would like to know more about what he did. He has similar abilities to me, and I'm interested in him.

If I go to the library, will there be books about the apostles?


With that in mind, after class and having lunch with Lucien, I headed to the library. Lunch break is quite long, so I have some free time after I eat.

Hmm, the library is really nice. I entered the library and took a deep breath. It somehow calms down the atmosphere.

Now, where is the apostle's book?

I walked around for a while, hoping to find it myself, but I couldn't find it, so I gave up and asked the staff at the reception.


"Excuse me. I'm looking for a book about the history of the apostles. Do you know where it is?"

"Yes. I'll show you around."


When I asked him that, he immediately came out from the reception desk and showed me around. Do library staff remember all the book locations? If that's the case, that would be amazing.


“Is this book okay?”


The book I found in the place he led me to was titled ``The Apostle's Deeds.''


"This book is fine. Thank you for the guidance."

“No, then please excuse me.”


I picked up the book, sat down on a nearby chair, and opened it.

The first few pages are lined with words praising the apostle. The person who wrote this worshiped the apostle.

Once that was finished, we finally started talking about the great achievements left behind by the apostle. It was difficult to read because the story frequently veers off to praising the greatness of the apostles, but if you skip that part, there isn't much to it, so I finished reading it quickly.


To summarize what I read briefly,


Created the Kingdom of Lathrasia.

They created the aristocracy and various other systems.

God's gestures such as bowing and saluting were popularized.

He spread the divine custom of eating three meals a day.

He taught me words to express gratitude to God, such as ``itadakimasu'' and ``gochisousama.''

Developed dairy farming and livestock farming.

He taught me that eating soybeans as is and eating flour as bread can be healthy.

I could use magic of all attributes.

I was able to use magic that doesn't exist in this world.


It was like this.

 

Um... who is the apostle? I don't know if something like this exists, but maybe the apostle is a reincarnated person from Japan like me?

No, I don't think that's true...But I was wondering why bowing and saluting are the same as in Japan.

 Thank you for the meal. I was surprised that it could be understood in this world because it would not be translated unless there is a similar word in this world, but I was surprised that it was something that was spread by the apostles.

 

But what does this mean that eating soybeans and flour as bread can be healthy? I've never heard of such a story in Japan. Is that also a health method?

Or rather, because of that teaching, there were no pancakes in this world.

And soybeans! It was strange because even though there are soybeans in this world, I had never seen any other way to prepare them other than eating them as is. It's definitely because of this teaching.

If it weren't for this teaching, seasonings like soy sauce and miso might have been developed!  Apostle-sama, that's unnecessary!

I'm grateful that they helped spread the word about dairy farming and livestock farming...


This world's vegetation and climate are originally like Japan, but that alone doesn't mean that the people's lives will become Japanese-like.

You can think that all the things that I've felt so Japanese-like have something to do with the apostles.

There's no way to be sure, but I feel like there's a high possibility that he's a reincarnated person from Japan, just like me.


If you think about it, am I an apostle of God because I am the same reincarnated person? But I've never met God.

Hmm... Now that I think about it, why was the previous apostle recognized as God's apostle?

Did you have a conversation with God? Did you have something to prove it? Did you make a prediction?

I didn't write anything about that, and I didn't mention it in the class just now, so I don't know, but I guess there was some kind of proof that I recognized him as an apostle of God.

If you think about it that way, I'm not an apostle of God. I don't have anything to admit to everyone, and I've never met God in the first place.


For now, I don't understand this no matter how much I think about it, so let's stop. What particularly bothers me about this is that he was able to use magic that doesn't exist in this world. Is this the teleportation magic you were talking about earlier?

I'm the same as the apostle in terms of all attributes, so maybe I can use the same magic that the apostle used.

I want to try this!

I think I'll make some time after school today and try it out at the training field. Probably no one is there.

 

Looking forward to after school, I put the book back on the shelf, left the library, and returned to the classroom. Shouldn't it be early after school?


"Leon, you're late! It's already time for class to start, right?"

"Sorry, I was just going to the library."

"Library? Was there any book you were interested in?"

"Yes. I was researching about the apostle."


There were some pretty good books. Go to the library often, because there may still be some good books.


“The apostle is the one who founded this country, right?”

"That's right. I was curious about it in history class."


After we had talked that far, the teacher came. After that, I concentrated on the afternoon class.
