How the Regressor Loves the Reincarnated

9. Taurus

1.

Zodiac.

To be honest, when the name first came out of Adele’s mouth, she was a little nervous. This world I was reincarnated into. No, because the probability that this planet was Earth was practically non-existent.

But after hearing the position of the 12 apostles of the zodiac and their nicknames, I couldn’t help but have doubts.

Third Apostle Gemini.

The 6th Apostle Burgo.

The Ninth Apostle Sagittarius.

The 12th Apostle Pisis.

The etymology was clearly derived from the 12 signs of the zodiac of the earth. When I looked up at the sky that night with doubts, I saw constellations of a similar shape.

Of course, I wasn’t sure. I just knew the concept of the 12th zodiac because it was so basic common sense, but I didn’t know the exact shape of the constellation.

No, it’s not the Earth in the first place, so how can constellations be the same?

A situation where such a question is inevitable.

Actually, it was a question that I couldn’t come up with a proper answer after thinking about it for a hundred days. Since I was the only one who knew the existence of the planet ‘Earth’ in the first place, it was a problem I couldn’t even ask others about. Besides, I wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about astronomy.

“I think the genre of my life was clearly aimed at peaceful gnomes…”

It feels like the genre has gone through a rapid drift before I knew it. It’s a regressor and the end of the world, it’s not even a fuss.

Actually, I don’t know what the wind was blowing, but I had a problem with myself, who promised to help the regressor. For a moment, I only thought that she seemed too dangerous, but when she came to her senses, it was after she had promised full cooperation.

Is this why there is a saying that a woman’s tears are a weapon? Of course, she never actually shed a tear, but that’s what she said.

It was a night when only the light of the stars, which seemed to be dim and nonexistent, matched my troubled heart, and finally entered the bedroom.

As I lay down on the bed and waved my hand once, the stars in the night sky that remained in my memory began to bloom in the air. If the stars seen from Earth and this planet were in the same position, we would be able to find out quite a lot simply by observing the stars. Shouldn’t I have done a little bit of science study when I was in school?

“No, if I had done that, I would have gone to a prestigious university.”

As I lightly move my fingers with a bitter smile, a line is drawn between the stars. The appearance of the constellations revealed in that way was subtle enough to be disappointing, to be honest. Well, I, an outsider, who gave a few stars as a line, said, ‘Ah! It’s a Gemini! That’s a Virgo!’ There’s no way it’s possible.

Yes. Let’s take a serious look at a field that I don’t usually have much interest in, as if I were doing something. Even so, the fact that I was a little disappointed made me laugh for no reason, and a blank laugh squeezed out of my mouth.

I’ll admit though, it was a beautiful and mysterious sight in its own way. Enjoying the night sky full of stars while lying in bed indoors. If it wasn’t for magic, it was a luxury that could not be easily enjoyed even in dreams.

Although it has been almost 20 years since I have lived in this world, am I really living the reality right now? I had the question of doing it sometimes. Paradoxically, it was the magical existence at my fingertips that took on the role of erasing such questions whenever I had them.

It was actually a bit ironic that the concept of magic, which belonged to the realm of unreality in my previous life, reminded me that the world I live in now is reality.

Magic is both a phenomenon and a mystery. The caster’s will, mana, and mental image. It is an incomprehensible phenomenon that is realized in reality by combining these three factors, hence the mystery.

This could be seen as the reason why wizards had to make meditation a habit. The more skillful you become at maintaining composure at all times by refining your mind through meditation, the more the success rate and completeness of magic, and even the fundamental power, will show a difference.

In my case, I have had adult thinking since I was very young, and perhaps because of that, the efficiency of my habitual meditation that has been going on since childhood was unusually high. As a result, I was able to enjoy the good fortune of being the owner of a calm mind that keeps my head rolling as usual in almost every situation.

In the end, being able to freely use magic as if to show off in such useless work or daily life was the result of a combination of innate magical talent and identity as a reincarnated person.

“A regressor, however, cannot even be compared to the 3rd regressor.”

The reason why my stream of consciousness flowed in this direction was actually simple.

Adele achieved the level of a sword master at the age of only 23 in the first playthrough.

If it was just that, I don’t think there would have been a corner for me to kneel. Because I was a reincarnated guy with a body overflowing with talent, so that when I was about twenty-three, I could hear the sound of the great mage and laugh with laughter wherever I went.

But according to Adele, at the end of the second playthrough, I reached something beyond the realm of being a sword master.

If what she said was true, it would be truly unprecedented. All of those who had made such a claim before her failed to show an overwhelming figure that could be said to have surpassed her realm. Of course, like them, she could have been mistaken about her.

But to be honest, it didn’t seem impossible at all if her talent included regression.

That’s the conclusion I came to.

In the end, this cooperative relationship was only a cooperative relationship.

It is Adele who has information about the future. And it is also Adele who possesses overwhelming force.

Ah, the financial resources that could be mobilized were a bit more this way. Unlike her, I was clearly the heir to the ducal family.

Even that part didn’t seem like she would need my help much if she used her knowledge of the future.

In the end, all I could do was follow the path she had paved before her. It was not strictly a horizontal partnership.

If you think about it, considering my usual goals, the current situation was nothing strange even if I welcomed it with both hands and feet. He said he would save the world on his own, so what reason would I have to suffer?

But Adele was exhausted. Her heart was also sick. If we leave her alone, what kind of fate will await Adele when all her work is over?

Suddenly, I had an idea.

The role of saving this world belongs to Adele Ludmeyer, who has no need to doubt. Even if she wants it or not.

Then, whose job is it to walk down that precarious road and save Adele in a state where it won’t be strange if she collapses at the end?

Is it really just a coincidence that the idiot named ‘Luke Isvant’ in the first and second rounds that Adele remembers before returning to the past and I, who has been reincarnated as Luke Isvant in this round, are completely different people? ?

I could confirm that the night sky I had floated before I knew it had disappeared like a mirage. It’s been a long time since I’ve been lost in thought.

“Yes, I can’t give you the answer I want unless you’re the one who sent her back to her past anyway.”

So I will do what I can.

It was a decision I made on my own to promise to bear the burden Adele had to bear alone, in the name of the family.

And if she can’t think of a way to help her right away, what I can do is eventually decide.

To sharpen one’s own powers.

She immediately raised her body from her lying position and sat down in her upright position. It didn’t matter at all whether I was destined to help her or not.

I made a promise, so I will keep it. That was all.

Spheres of tangible magical power, each made with a different amount of magical power, float around my body. The attributes given to each sphere are also different. It was a training method I devised that allowed me to train the absolute amount of magic power, the ability to control magic power, and the mental power to maintain it.

Time is full and overflowing anyway. By reducing her night sleep and doing this training, it was clear that the day would come when she could be useful.

With a roar that shook the ground, the green-skinned giant struck down an ax that was bigger than itself. The knight the ax was aiming for had his eyes closed tightly as he intuited that he could not resist his own death.

“What are you doing! Do you think the life of a knight protecting Isvant is light enough to be lost in a place like this!”

The knight who opened his eyes to the harsh roar realized that he had been moved to a place far away from that unmatchable orc. It didn’t take long to realize that the magic of his master had saved his life.

“Retreat while keeping the battle line intact! I will buy you time!”

As the Duke of Isvant shouted, he raised several pillars made of rocks in an oblique line from the earth. It was to prevent the Orc warriors from easily chasing the retreating knights.

However, a loud roar echoed through the battlefield once again. And the ax swung along with him shattered the pillars of rock with a single blow.

“Huh, he has such monstrous powers.”

The Duke of Isvant, who clicked his tongue, concentrated his mana even more. If he breaks down a physical barrier, he puts up an unbreakable barrier and that’s it.

A very small spark bloomed in front of the orcs who were about to charge towards the retreating knights. The Orcs, who considered it trivial and moved forward, could not even regret their choice.

Because they were devoured by a huge flame that spread in an instant like an explosion, and all of them lost their lives.

Convinced that there was no way the orcs could cross that wall of flame alive, Duke Isvant turned to join the ranks of the knights.

“My lord! Behind, behind!”

At that moment, the heavy gong sound heard and the knight commander’s warning turned the Duke of Isvant’s eyes wide.

The ax that flew through the air with the momentum of splitting his body in half hit the translucent shield right in front of Duke Isvant’s nose and lost its power. Seeing that the blow of conversion had failed, the particularly large orc roared again.

As the new model of the Duke of Isvant, who almost lost his life in a moment of carelessness, collapsed, the knight commander hurriedly helped him.

“You are not hurt anywhere, lord?”

“Grunt… At the end of the day, all the mana called mana is dragged in, so my body doesn’t have enough strength. After widening the distance as quickly as possible, return to the territory. Leave the rest up to you…”

Seeing the Duke of Isvant who had lost consciousness due to magical exhaustion, the knight commander hurriedly carried him on his back and shouted.

“This is my lord’s order! After opening the distance as quickly as possible, return to the territory!”

A symbol was engraved on the chest of the large orc who was glaring at the backs of the knights who were rapidly moving away.

Taurus, the sign that symbolizes Taurus.
