Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 6

—————————————

[This child grows up]

My appearance has become blurred It naturally blended into the surrounding scenery.

My individuality

is [stealth] the power to assimilate with things around me and hide my existence.

An ability well suited to reconnaissance, intelligence, assassination, etc.

In the past, this ability was used to scout dangerous areas or perform intelligence missions.

I don’t know how many times I almost died.

I shivered as I recalled old memories.

“Don’t go through that kind of trouble again.”

In this life, I wasn’t going to tell anyone about my personality.

-go away! I’ll kill you! –

I don’t know who that is, but he has a fierce temper.

The voice was further away than at first. It meant that the owner of the voice was moving rather than staying in one place.

It felt like I was running away from someone or something.

I increased my movement speed.

But it didn’t last long before a problem arose.

Susssut.

Even though I hadn’t used it much, the hiding began to wear off.

“Oh my…”

The problem was the amount of mana I had. He unconsciously thought about the mana he had before regressing and used his abilities.

When I think about it, it was more than a year after I awakened as a superhuman that I was able to properly use my hiding ability.

I grumbled as I disengaged from hiding before I ran out of mana.

“I can’t do it because it’s frustrating. “We need to quickly increase mana first.”

Fortunately, I knew a few ways to quickly increase mana.

20 years from now, everyone will know this, but

now only I know it.

If you use that knowledge, you can build up mana in your body at a rapid rate.

-go away! Don’t come any closer! –

The voice was getting closer. I looked around. I saw a half-collapsed building.

Tadat!

It quickly ran up the wall of the building to the rooftop. And he moved by jumping from building to building.

Whick! Swish!

In an instant, the background passed behind.

Even without using [Stealth], concealing one’s presence or approaching secretly was one of my specialties.

After a while, I arrived at my destination, lowered myself and looked at the situation unfolding below.

A young girl crowded into a dead-end alley between abandoned, abandoned buildings.

And the rugged men approaching the girl.

I briefly summarized the situation unfolding before my eyes.

It’s a human trafficking site.

During this time, security was still unstable, and such crimes often occurred in the back alleys or on the outskirts of the city.

But this isn’t just the outskirts of the city, it’s a restricted area, right?

Even if we say they are part of a criminal organization, how did a kid like that get in here?

I took a closer look at the girl.

I guess I’m only about 10 years old now.

Her red hair, down to her waist, was like a burning flame.

It was said that she would be a great beauty when she grew up, and her face was so pretty that you could bet all your money on it.

However, his expression was as ferocious as that of a wild animal, and he was holding a knife that was out of place in his small hands.

“go away! “Before I kill them all!”

The girl’s words were the common language of the Gaia continent, so the men could not understand them.

Even if they understood, they weren’t the type of people who would just walk away.

The men were out of breath, probably exhausted from chasing the girl.

“Whoa-. Shit… why is something so damn fast?”

“Huh… wow. But which country is that?”

“What do you know? “What’s important is that foreign bitches are sold more expensively.”

The guys slowly approaching the girl had tattoos of coiled red snakes on their shoulders and forearms.

The moment I saw that, I realized their identity.

Criminal organization [Red Snake]

Murder, robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking.

They were scumbags who would do anything to make money. Among the many criminal organizations that emerged after First Gate, they are the largest in scale.

The leadership of the Red Snake organization included even superhumans, making it stronger than most guilds.

They had connections with the military and police, so going in and out of restricted areas was nothing to them.

In short, he’s a pretty scary opponent to touch.

The men spread out, surrounded the girl, and slowly approached.

“Kid. “Let’s follow our brothers when they say good things.”

“I’ll take you to a good place. They give me food and let me sleep. “You don’t have a mom or a dad, right?”

Like the men, the girl was unable to understand what the other person was saying.

Even if I understood it, I didn’t seem naive enough to believe it and follow it.

“I warned you! “You brought it all on yourself!”

The moment the girl shouted out loud,

roar!

Red and blue flames bloom on the left and right of the girl.

The two flames spun around as if they were guarding the girl.

The startled men hesitated and took a step back.

“Fuck! “What is that again?”

“Super power?”

However, it was only for a moment that the startled men retreated.

The two flames the girl created were so small that they were only about the size of a baseball. Moreover, it was dangerous as if it would go off if the wind blew too strong.

Fishish style.

The flame dimmed and then went out. The girl stumbled and sat down, perhaps because of the recoil from using her ability.

The men who had retreated in surprise came back.

Rather, the spark that the girl just showed fueled their greed.

“Amazing, Great! “That bitch was a superhuman!”

“How much can I get if I sell it?”

“Fuck. It’s worth the price. “If you catch them and tie them on a leash, you can use them as slaves for the rest of their lives.”

The men became more persistent and narrowed the siege.

One of the three called someone.

“Yes, brother. I found the kid who ran away near the gate that appeared earlier. This is awesome. “He’s a superhuman!”

I was able to roughly grasp the context of their conversation.

‘That kid. ‘He was a dimensional refugee.’

It will be about a year later that the dimensional connection gate between the Gaia continent and Earth will be permanently connected.

However, even before that, there were cases where the gate was unstable but connected occasionally.

Those who were caught up in the phenomenon and crossed or crossed the dimension were called ‘dimensional refugees’.

It was a very rare case.

So much so that no one would have believed it unless the returnees later proved it.

Anyway, what should I do with this?

“Kid. “Give up and come here.”

“I’ll buy you something delicious.”

A kid from the continent of Gaia who fell to Earth.

A huge criminal organization that kidnaps the kid and sells him as a slave.

I don’t want to be associated with annoying people…

but I couldn’t help it even if they criticized me for being cold-hearted.

During this chaotic time, most people were exposed to such crimes.

It was impossible to reach out and offer to help everyone every time.

Isn’t this a situation where a large criminal organization could easily be turned into an enemy?

Is there any reason to take that kind of risk and save that kid?

“…yes.”

I got up from my seat.

Gaia continental language.

A year later, there was a world of difference between having several people who knew the language and being the only one.

It would be the icing on the cake if you could also get information about the continent of Gaia.

After making a decision, I jumped off the building.

It ends quickly and quickly.

“Brother Viper sent the kids. “Just keep it from escaping.”

The other men nodded at the words of the man who ended the phone call. A creepy smile appeared on their lips.

“We’ll all get our share, right?”

“That’s it. “If you’re superhuman with that face, it’s a special product.”

“Huh. “If you raise them well…”

The men are grinning. And a girl in despair.

Although she was barely holding the knife with her shaky arms, the girl clearly looked exhausted.

Those who surrounded the girl also knew this, so they were completely caught off guard.

Well, even if I hadn’t let my guard down, they wouldn’t have been able to stop me.

-Phew!

“Ugh…!”

I split the second guy’s uvula before the first guy fell.

Sigh!

Then the first guy fell to the floor and the third guy saw me and tried to yell.

“What are you…!”

But he couldn’t finish his sentence. Because the dagger I threw pierced his heart.

dump. dump. dump.

The three guys fell to the floor one after another like dominoes.

It was the first murder since returning.

Of course, there was no inspiration.

Because I don’t expend my emotions on taking out the trash.

I looked back at the girl. The guy was as stiff as a stone and was looking at me.

“Are you from the continent of Gaia?”

When I spoke fluent Gaia language, the girl’s eyes were filled with surprise.

“Just follow me. “Let’s get out of the way before the others come.”

“How can I trust you?”

Arms and legs shaking so pathetically. The little boy already had no strength to resist.

It was easy to just take him by force.

But there was a simpler way to comfort a child.

“Are you hungry?”

The girl’s eyes suddenly shook.

“What…”

Grumble.

You can’t fool the ears of a superhuman. I heard you growling a lot earlier.

I said with a particularly patronizing expression.

“Follow me and I’ll give you food.”

After a while, the little boy followed me, pretending that he couldn’t resist.
