Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 3: Coastal cities (Part 02)

Early in the day, when the sun has not yet appeared and the dew is still floating with fresh air. As soon as he got out of bed and bathed, Odo then tidied himself up and hurried off to the Library of his residence. He stepped inside the Library, then walked up the stairs to the sixth floor. At first glance He saw Vil on the fourth floor, but because this time his purpose was not to meet the Great Spirit, Odo ignored him.

On the sixth floor, he walked toward one of the bookcases looking for something on each shelf. When he saw a book with a red cover made of leather between the crush of books on the shelf, Odo picked it up and said, "Ah, meet ...."

The cover of the book that Odo took was written the title Structure of Dimensional Forming and Basic Elements of Space Line. From that title, Odo can know that the book includes a discussion of dimensions that are a continuation of the discussion of Dimensional Magic that he is studying last week.

"One of the useful magic that I still haven't mastered. Yes, I didn't expect to master all magic so easily anyway, but it felt like learning this type of magic was indeed difficult. Must understand the physical factor about space everything ...."

Odo sat on the floor, leaned against the closet and read the book he had taken. He carefully read each page and tried to understand the concept of space to be able to master Space Magic or often also called Dimensional Magic.

The reason Odo wanted to learn that magic was because he wanted to create a portable storage dimension, where the dimensions are embedded in the object and make it able to store objects or other objects that are larger and in large quantities. In other words, a storage dimension that Odo wants to create.

When he was too focused on the book he was reading, he did not realize Vil had been sitting next to him while observing. Odo turned his head, with a flat face he asked the Great Spirit.

"What's wrong, Vil?"

"No, there's no. It's just that you learn very quickly. Though yesterday you read a book about Dimensional Magic, but knowing that you have to master the knowledge of space ..., you immediately turned to the book on understanding space."

The words of the Great Spirit made Odo completely stop reading and close his book. He looked at Vil's face that was not aging at all and looked young because of his race, then slightly sighed while turning his face away.

"What's up, Odo? Why closed?" ask Vil while bringing the face closer. Although his mouth was covered in a black veil, Odo could clearly see the lips of the Great Spirit that looked alluring.

"No. .., it's just .. You guys haven't changed at all yeah, especially physically."

The question made Vil slightly distanced his face, then turned away and put on an astonished expression. After understanding Odo's words, he looked back at him.

"You mean Myself, Fiola, and Julia?" ask Vil.

"Yes, who else? Come to think of it, how old are you really?"

The question made Vil flinch in shock and look reluctant. Turning his face back, he looked completely unwilling to answer the question.

"How old are you, Vil?" ask Odo.

"I-That ... fifteen ....?"

"Why question sentences? Fifteen is fifteen years? But, as far as I am concerned, the Great Spirit has a very long life."

The question posed with that innocent expression really made Vil distressed. It was no problem to tell Odo his age, but for some personal reasons he could not do it easily.

"Hem, if Julia ... age has been a hundred years more loh," said Vil with the intention to divert the curiosity of Odo.

" ...." Hearing those words, Odo remained silent and kept an expression of wanting to know Vil's age.

"If Fiola, the nine-tailed fox girl was almost ten centuries old. Very long yes," said Vil who really wanted to divert the curiosity of Odo.

" ...." Once again, the boy just kept silent and stared intently to know Vil's age.

In the end, unable to bear the pressing gaze Odo gave, Vil reluctantly told the boy his age. The age of the Vil is fifteen centuries, in other words about 1,500 years. Of all the creatures in Luke's residence, Vil is the oldest living existence.

After hearing that, without saying anything Odo continued reading the book and did not comment on Vil's age. Seeing that reaction, the Great Spirit sat beside him in dismay with Odo's gaze that might change towards him upon learning of the fact.

During the day, when the sky covered. After he finished learning the knowledge of space and relearning Space Magic or Dimensional Magic in the library, Odo went straight from the Luke Scientia Library and left Vil asleep tired of waiting for him to finish reading.

He momentarily stopped by the storage warehouse behind the Mansion, then took out a brownish robe and a short sword. When asked what all the items he took from the warehouse were by some Lizardman in charge of gardening and security, Odo honestly replied that they were all for hunting.

The Lizardmen, Demi-humans who had the human stature of lizards working in the Mansion did not dare to forbid the Luke family's successor to take all the tools from the warehouse.

Added to a request not to say what he was doing to the servants at home, it made the Lizardmen working in Luke's residence really troubled by their Young Master.

Without wasting any time, Odo immediately rushed towards the Mansion trellis wall fence and jumped at it using thrower magic. After landing, he quickly ran towards the forest and disappeared from the sight of the Lizardmen.

Shortly after running and entering deep enough into the forest, Odo paused under a lush-leaved oak tree and placed all his luggage onto the grass.

First he stretched out the cloak cloth, then began to increase the magic pressure. Once it felt that the Mana activated from the Magic Core was sufficient, He began to concentrate it on the tip of his index finger and began to write some runes and draw magic circles on top of the stretched cloak. What Odo was about to do was to use Dimensional Magic to infuse space into the robe.

Odo wrote more than five hundred Rune characters on the fringes of a 1 x 1.5 meter wide fabric, then in the middle was drawn four magic circles connected with runes, Rune, the function of the magic structure was to create dimensions within the fabric and activate runes that had been written as dimensional doors in the corner of the fabric.

All that Odo made on the cloth was glowing writing, made of pure Mana from his own Magic Core implanted on the cloth. When he finished creating the Dimensional Magic structure on top of the robe, Odo stopped activating the Magic Core and the rune writing along with the magic circle on the cloth began to dim and stop glowing.

"Hem, now just try it. According to his theory, Dimensional Magic is a magic to control space and compress an object into dimensions. In the extreme level, there was also a Dimensional Magic level where the user could Deflect Space, Twist Back Time, and the concept of distance was completely within his control. Yes, even though it can only be done by the Gods anyway, in all the books in the super-complete library there is no record of anyone doing that."

Odo took the robe that had been given a Dimensional Magic Structure, then gave it a hint of Mana, Runes and a luminous magic circle. As he covered the gloved sword lying on the grass in the cloth robe, it went straight into the Dimension that had been implanted in the Dimensional Cloak.

"Hem, it works ....." Odo lifted the robe with both hands and stretched it forward. As observed, out of all the runes written, there was one rune that turned black the mark of one space had been used.

"In that case, how to get it out ...."

Odo streamed the Mana on the Dimensional Cloak, then accessed the rune that had turned black and activated the magic circle that was in the center of the robe.

Boffa!

As it had not yet set the momentum of the pressure as the object came out of the storage dimension, the Sword that had been stored was instantly ejected out from within the Dimensional Cloak and ....

Bugs!

The wooden sheathed sword immediately hit Odo's stomach hard enough to make him kneel in pain.

"A ..., the settings are still less well ...."

After that, Odo made a readjustment about the pressure momentum exiting an ojek from space in the Dimensional Cloak. Not only that, he made the widening of each cube-shaped space that amounted to more than 500, from 1 x 1 meter to 1.5 x 1.5 meters wide.

After finishing the arrangement and putting the sword into the Dimensional Cloak, Odo put on the robe. He again made some preparations such as the activation of magic such as Auto Senses and Sensory Earth Magic before hunting for groceries to fulfill his promise to nuns in the Coastal City.

He hunted and hunted, immobilized using long-range Attack Magic, then slaughtered it and put it into the Dimensional Cloak. Tiringly, he continued to search from one nest to another, from one place to another in the forest.

Thanks to the sensory enhancement magic used by him, finding buran was not difficult for him. However, if the problem of the type of hunting Odo includes enough to sort it out.

The Odo hunts are wild animals commonly hunted such as deer and wild chickens. For some personal reasons, Odo does not hunt wild pigs at all, he prefers to look for fruits and mushrooms for a substitute for food that is lacking. All the game was put into the Dimensional Cloak before he went to the coastal City.

Due to his hunting results, the over 50 runes on his robe turned black. While the fruits and fungi that he could make were 27 runes turned black. Since the space on the Dimensional Cloak was a vacuum, having a different element of time, all of the foodstuffs stored within it would not rot or be damaged as long as the Dimensional Cloak was in one piece.

The coastal town, in the afternoon. At the time of cloudy away and the view of the red sun is clearly visible from the dock.

On the large rocks by the sea, a little girl who had snow-white hair stood looking at the sunset. He is Nanra, an orphan who lives in the Orphanage of the city.

With a face full of sadness, he grasped the necklace of his late family that he always took care of well.

At the age of about five, when he was too small to remember well, both of his parents died. The cause of his parents' deaths was bandits. At the time of the first Astral World expedition called Landlord Marquess Luke, the movement of the bandits increased because they knew the security of the regions was reduced because of the withdrawal of talented soldiers for the expedition.

The Nanra family who lived in the village near the coastal town to bad luck at that time. Their village was plundered and almost all were killed, only a few survivors after the soldiers defeated the bandits. Nanra became one of them, a child who became an orphan after the incident.

The Orphanage where he lives now is actually a local place of worship that switched functions because of them, the six children who became Orphans after the five-year incident.

Actually, in general, orphans will be educated in a religious environment to become nuns or monks. But due to age constraints and trauma suffered after the event, six children including Nanra received certain treatment and were included in the Orphanage.

The events he experienced were common and frequent occurrences in this world, Nanra who had mature thoughts for her age knew that very clearly. However, the hatred towards the nobility could not be lost from his heart.

He wondered, if only at that time there was no strange and impossible expedition, maybe the situation would not be like this. Thinking that the same expedition will be carried out in the near future, his mood grew turbid and seemed to want to jump into the ocean in front of him.

"Oh, so you like sunsets too huh. Looks like we can indeed be familiar," said someone whose voice is not unfamiliar to Nanra.

He looked up and saw Odo standing there. Observing the boy wearing a robe that looked a little bit of gloomy, Nanra gave a small smile. Her beautiful hair was fluttering, her gloomy face was starting to look as bright as the weather was now.

"Yes, twilight is the best. Especially ... sunset," said Nanra.

"Hem, hem, sunset is beautiful. It felt like an eternal moment."

"The moment of eternal moment?" nanra asked with curiosity.

Odo walked to the side of the girl and found her watching the sun set on the coastal rocks. While looking at his face, Odo answered with a smile.

"A memory that lasts forever."

The words made Nanra startled, feeling like something was seeping into her heart, a warmth clearly felt.

"By the way, now what do you want to come here for? Didn't you really refuse to stop by the Orphanage yesterday?" asked Nanra who was trying not to think of any strange feelings on her chest.

"Hem, yeah .. as promised, I brought groceries. Later tonight I will stay and eat with you at the Orphanage. Yeah, tomorrow's also the forest business."

Hearing that answer, Nanra stopped focusing and looked at the twilight sun to clear her mind.

"Is your family not worried?" nanra asked in a slightly sad tone.

Odo immediately knew, the discussion of family with orphans is not a good thing, especially with children who still look moody when saying the word Family.

"Yes, maybe. But at least let them worry. That's a sign of family. If I keep being nice and awkward doing this-that doesn't even feel weird to a family?"

"His name, has a family ...."

The words really made Odo for a moment speechless. "In fact, having a caring family ..." In his previous life, Odo often thought so. When compared to what Nanra experienced, the problem was just like an insignificant teenage turmoil.

"Not that you also have ... it .. people who are so precious to the point of being like family in your Orphanage."

"Family ...? They ...?"

"Yes, 'ka? They worry about you, pay attention to you, scold, rebuke, and take care of each other and share happiness. If it's not family, what else?"

Those words made Nanra contemplate. He lowered his face and thought, recalling his memories with the people at the Orphanage.

"What are you about them to say that? Didn't you just meet them yesterday?"

"Lessly I know. The worried face of the sister nun, vaguely felt exactly with the worried face of my mother."

Nanra looked at Odo's face, then she slightly put on a flat face and said, "Is that right?"

"That's how."
