Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

Gawain folded his arms, tilted his head, and still had a blank expression on his face. He looked at Luo Qixi with such clarity that she felt filthy.

"Now I know what it means. And what's wrong with that?"

Roxy held her forehead, which was so hot it could fry an egg, and then she realized with shame that this idiot in front of her was an ectopic species. It was normal for him to not understand anything like this, right? No, no, no, it was completely abnormal, right? Hadn't Sylphy taught him before? If Sylphy was too embarrassed to teach him, with Rudy's personality, he would definitely pull Gawain to talk about this topic, right?

She asked tentatively:

"Gawain, do you know how a boy and a girl can have a baby?"

Gawain even began to frown:

"Remove the reproductive cells of both parties and place them in an adaptive environment. After a period of time, the strongest male reproductive cells will defeat the others and occupy the female reproductive cells. However, if the female reproductive cells cannot withstand the invasion of the male reproductive cells, they will be directly damaged. Conversely, if the male reproductive cells cannot break through the female reproductive cells' defense mechanism, they will slowly die. Only when the two are evenly matched..."

Before he could finish explaining the situation of pure-blood births, let alone mixed-blood births, he was interrupted by the bewildered Lokisi:

"I'm talking about the races in the human world!"

Gao Wen answered without hesitation:

"There's no need to understand this kind of thing."

Luo Qixi no longer felt ashamed. The rosy color on her body quickly faded, and the look she gave Gawain became like dead fish eyes.

"I'm really impressed by you. You should know something about this kind of thing!"

Because she didn't want to blame Sylphy, Roxy didn't complain about "she should have taught you this kind of thing earlier", but took it upon herself as a matter of course:

"I'll tell you all about it later when I have time, even though you won't need it. However, please don't tell anyone, including Sylphy, about what happened and the content of this conversation. Admitting 0721 is a very shameful thing for a race like ours! And it's also very private."

Gao Wen nodded indifferently:

"Then why are you using my pillow and underwear..."

Luo Qixi instantly stood up, slamming the table and pleading loudly:

"Please at least don't ask questions right away!"

In short, Mr. Luo Qixi's physiology elective course has officially started. Currently, there is only one elective student and one optional student, Gao Wen.

After realizing how big the difference between Gawain and herself was, Luo Qixi no longer felt ashamed. After having breakfast together, they packed their equipment and started a new day's work.

On the way, they chatted as usual.

It even felt a bit like the time when we went back and forth to the open-air classroom in Buena Village, but there were only two of us left.

Loki complained:

"The Vitrum people are so weird, aren't they? How long ago did you originate? Aside from your appearance, you're so different from the current race in every way! Speaking of which, the fact that you can even appear in this era is absurd, isn't it? It's not even an exaggeration that you could memorize so much information about your own race as a baby!"

Gawain didn't know why, but he gradually didn't want to deceive Luo Qixi anymore, so he was reluctant to answer her questions. After hesitating for a moment, he confessed:

"Regarding the first point, I'm still considering when to tell you."

It was Luo Qixi's turn to feel indifferent:

"I was just grumbling! It's okay if you don't tell me this kind of private information, okay? Everyone has secrets, after all."

Gao Wen felt relieved and continued to explain:

"As for the second point, I actually haven't been 'asleep' for very long. I was born over 971 years ago. My tribe placed me in a hibernation chamber custom-made for me, allowing me to slow down my growth rate by three thousand times."

"And the third point."

Gawain nodded his helmet:

"The Vitrum people don't possess any memory inheritance or similar abilities. When it comes to learning knowledge, we're not much different from you. Most of my understanding of my race comes from this. I have an educational brain implanted between my left and right brains. It can teach me all the necessary knowledge about Vitrum civilization."

The amount of information was a bit too much, and Luo Qixi felt that she might need to think for a while before reacting.

She just complained silently:

“I feel like there are even more complaints.”

After a pause, Luo Qixi asked curiously:

"Old man, did you dream during those nine hundred years of sleep?"

Gao Wen didn't bother to correct her address, and just replied calmly:

"Sleeping or dormant is just a traditional metaphor. In fact, I am awake most of the time."

A longer silence.

Luo Qixi's voice coming from the communication module was trembling and distorted. She seemed to be unable to believe it:

"Awake for nine hundred years?"

"959 years, 10 months, and 28 days, to be exact."

Chapter 52: Traveling Together (12)

“It must be very hard.”

Luo Qixi seemed to want to say something comforting, but didn't know how to start.

Gawain even comforted her in return:

"As I just said, the Vitrum people don't have such things as inherited memories, so I just spent over nine hundred years in a state of ignorance. It's probably like having a very long, empty dream, right? It wasn't that hard."

Perhaps it was comforting because Gawain had lied. Before being sealed into the hibernation chamber, he had already mastered the Vitrum language, and in the days that followed, he was able to roughly understand what was happening outside.

Yes.

Recalling those long and dark years again, a feeling of doubt appeared in Gawain's heart again. Did he, when he was young, really have no emotional ability?

Unfortunately, this ultimately became a mystery.

All the people involved are dead, so even if Gao Wen wants to return and ask someone, there is no way.

However, I guess not. After all, my emotional ability was activated in the early days of Buena Village, and my love for Lijie's mother was gradually born and grew stronger after many years of separation.

Gao Wen no longer cared.

Luo Qixi was even more unable to comfort him. She could only firmly define it:

"Anyway, it's just pitiful! It's so hard!"

Gao Wen was helpless:

"Just say so."

The two ended their current topic and chatted about other things while continuing to issue commissions around the world.

At noon, Luo Qixi packed a special snack of Milis, took off her helmet, and ate while flying in the air, although she was not the one responsible for flying.

At this moment, Luo Qixi suddenly thought of the topic she wanted to ask:

"Wait! If you have such a great teacher in your head, Gawain, why did you hire a tutor of my caliber?"

Roxy finally came to her senses and began to have great doubts about her past and present unshakable importance to Gawain.

Gao Wen simply replied:

"The intelligent computer doesn't record this knowledge."

Luo Qixi took a big bite of the egg roll dessert in her hand and complained:

"You look down on magic, don't you?"

Gawain stretched out his finger and touched the cream on the corner of Luo Qixi's mouth:

"It's stuck to my face."

Luo Qixi licked the white sticky substance off Gawain's black gauntlet and thanked him casually:

"Thank you."

Gawain then continued to answer:

"It's not what you think. As I've always said, the magic of the human world is inherently powerful. If I looked down on magic, I wouldn't have studied it. The answer is actually very simple: the Vitrum civilization doesn't possess any knowledge of human magic."

Luo Qixi suddenly thought of something, and then she analyzed it with sudden enlightenment:

"I remember that long ago, many races were not yet accustomed to magic. Perhaps your race was born before that and then declined?"

Gao Wen hesitated and replied:

"It's not impossible to understand it that way. I'd better find a good enough time to sit down and explain it to you. Well, let's wait until this incident is over. After listening, you will fully understand."

Luo Qixi quickly ate the remaining egg rolls in a few small bites, threw the oil paper wrapped in the food high into the air, and nodded in satisfaction:

"Okay! I've always been curious about how your powerful clan became extinct!"

After finishing her thoughtless words, Loki looked cautiously at Gawain, who was wearing a black and gold helmet and had no expression on his face.

"Is that something you could say just now?"

Gao Wen smiled:

"That's the truth, isn't it?"

No matter how glorious their past was, the people of Vitrum were indeed on the verge of extinction. This was an indelible reality, and it was his duty to change this situation.

Keep issuing commissions until the evening.

Gawain did not send Lokisi back to New Roa directly, but took her to the royal capital of Ars, where he found Paul and Aisha who were staying at the Boreas family home.

Rather than a boarding house, Paul was now effectively the acting head of the Boreas family. James, the original next-generation head, had completely lost power both at court and within the family due to various reasons, now a mere figurehead. Following Gawain's strategy, Saulos entrusted the family's entire power in the capital to Paul, hoping to regain the Notos throne.

By the way, in addition to the Boreas family and the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce, the forces that fully support Paul's ascension to the throne include the First Prince faction, the Second Princess faction, and part of the Notos family faction.

It could be said that Piremon Notos Greyrat had already lost. All parties involved were simply searching for a more appropriate and respectable angle to execute him, and the struggles of the Piremon faction were merely an attempt to diminish the evidence and mitigate the severity of the subsequent reckoning.

To the nobles and royal family of the capital, Princess Ariel's cooperation was essentially tantamount to relinquishing her right to the throne. However, there was no other way around it. After all, her only capable vassal had blocked that person's path. Taking the initiative to eliminate the bloodshed under her command in the name of gratitude and justice was undoubtedly the wisest option. This way, perhaps she could simultaneously protect her old vassal's family and cling to that person's high position. By relinquishing the throne, she also secured a life of wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life, a perfect combination of fame and fortune.

The First Prince faction also thinks so.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that most of their clan members had already been on Gawain's kill list.

The four of them had dinner together.

Gawain informed the family that he would prioritize finding Senis next.

Paul felt a little ashamed:

"Although it's a bit rude of me as a husband to say this, I hope you'll prioritize finding Lolz and Debbie."

Aixia said innocently:

"Dad, Gawain-san must have his reasons for saying that, right? Aisha thinks it would be better to trust Gawain-san, right?"

Paul has completely lost his mind:

"That's true, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Then, Paul explained the current progress of the plan to Gawain and Lokisi, with Aisha helping out from time to time. It seemed that in about a week, Pilemon could be legally removed from office.

Gao Wen felt that Paul now was just like Kogoro Maori that Rudy had talked about before.

After chatting.

The two said goodbye and then went to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to take away some consumables and supplies, including a large amount of strategic reserves including fine magic crystals.

Yes, the several boxes of magic crystals that had previously activated Lokisi's Money-Loving Form had already been mostly used up. Gawain alone was currently burning through at least tens of thousands of Asura gold coins worth of magic crystals every day. These magic crystals were primarily used to unleash vacuum field magic; otherwise, the damage Gawain caused during takeoffs and abrupt stops would be immeasurable.

After completing the supply, Gawain sent Lokisi back home, kissed her on the cheek, and then set off for the night patrol.

"Luo Qixi, Luo Qixi, you must tell the truth tomorrow, and you can't indulge in it tonight..."

I rushed out in my room.
