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

Sylphy had made it herself, right? But where did she find the time? Did she ask Debbie's mother for help when she went to see Rudeus alone? Did she knit it bit by bit while learning the Demon Language from Teacher Roxy?

Red, I said before that red is the most honorable color, it is the exclusive color of the emperor, and I am not worthy of red now.

Grow long hair, yes, although I think short hair is more suitable for warriors, but in order to comfort Sylphy, we agreed to grow our hair long together.

Sylphy remembered it, even though I didn't care at all.

I just stood there holding the wooden box in my hand, but everyone gave me their blessings and gifts one by one without any concern.

Debbie's mom gave me ten new sets of clothes that will last from spring to winter, from now until I grow another twenty centimeters taller. So this is what she's been doing all the time while she's at home? She also promised to make me at least one new set of clothes that fit me every quarter.

If I take out half of this kind of clothing, no, a quarter of it, it will burn to ashes or break and fly away in the atmosphere.

But it's just clothes like this.

It made me feel a rare emotion spreading in my chest.

Uncle Lortz rarely showed a proud and complacent smile in front of me. The gift he gave me was a hunting bow he made by himself and a pot of feather arrows that were said to be of high quality. He also asked me to go to the forest someday to teach me archery and hunting.

The power of a bow and arrow is limited by its material. Not only do the cosmic civilizations, but even adventurers in this world look down on them. And what about forests and hunting? With a single punch, I can flatten that overgrown patch of grass next to the village, which every villager considers a threat.

But I agreed.

The gift Rudeus gave me was what he called a "fig," essentially a scaled model made from compressed rock and clay. It wasn't painted, citing the difficulty of finding sufficiently rich and realistic paint. The figurine was of Sylphy, wearing her winter clothing and holding my hand.

Very cute. So, I promised him I could research the pigment issue later, and decided to research structural color magic. Also, I got all of Rudeus's failed creations; thankfully, he hadn't destroyed them yet.

The gift that Teacher Roxy gave me was an amulet. According to her, it represents the Migrud tribe she came from. The rope that strung the amulet was red and green. She asked Sylphy which colors I liked, and then asked Debbie's mother to teach her how to weave it. In the end, she didn't know how to string it together after she finished weaving it, so she only finished it this morning.

It seemed like something very important to her, but she acted as if she was afraid I would find it shabby. Anyway, I accepted it, even though I thought she would hate me even more in her heart.

Auntie Senice gave me a very elegant white porcelain tea set. Everyone seemed to think I was a tea lover. Actually, I didn't have much of an opinion on tea; I was simply asked by Debbie's mom to try out a variety of tea bags, so I could keep some for guests at home.

Lilia gave me a moon-white rain poncho she'd hand-sewn. She said she'd made it after consulting with Debbie's mother, thinking it would be useful with the upcoming rainy season. But if Sylphy doesn't like it, there might not be another rainy season. Honestly, Lilia seemed even poorer than Roxy-sensei, but her gift was clearly more thoughtful. I began to doubt whether Roxy-sensei disliked me again.

Paul actually gave it as a gift. It was a knight's sword that he boasted was very sturdy and high-end. It was actually a pure iron sword that broke at the slightest bend. It was completely useless. For everyone's sake, I won't mention the second half of the analogy.

After giving the gift.

Debbie's mother brought out a dessert called a cake, put handmade red candles on it, asked me to close my eyes, make a wish, and then blow them out.

I later learned that this was Rudeus's idea.

I don't know where this custom comes from.

But I just closed my eyes and opened them again, without thinking about anything, and blew it out.

I don't believe in fantasies like wishes coming true.

After the candles went out, everyone cheered excitedly again, and then started cutting the cake, but I still just sat there, watching everyone's lively interaction.

However, I felt a rare emotion spreading in my chest.

Tonight, it always appears, making it no longer unfamiliar to me.

I actually know.

It's called happiness.

However, I feel that this kind of life is making me weak.

I might not be able to become a warrior.

Want to kill them?

I look around at everyone who always looks at me and smiles at me, who never gets angry even when I'm unhappy, and who never forgets me even when I'm not sociable.

So, until the so-called birthday party ended.

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I think it is because killing people who offer gifts to you at will is what a tyrant does, right?

I will not be a tyrant.

Note 1: The Weixing people can go without water for several weeks.

Note 2: Roxy’s panic in the morning was because of the gift.

Note: The image of Gawain with long hair is based on Griffith's (black hair + slightly curly).

The youth appearance was a mixture of elements from Griffith and Guts.

Chapter 27 Three Months (1)

A few days after Gawain's birthday party.

When everyone talked privately, they all said that Gao Wen seemed to have changed a little, of course, for the better.

Gawain's daily attire has also changed. He no longer wears plain white linen shorts and sandals like before. As Rudeus complained, he looks like a background NPC in a different world anime.

Instead, he wore the amulet given by teacher Roxy around his neck, a red headband given by sister Sylphy on his hand, and changed into summer clothes sewn by his mother Debbie. It seemed that for the sake of overall visual coordination, he was now always required to wear the platinum dagger given by Elinalize every day, hanging it on the brown sword belt that Lolz customized for him last winter.

It has been elevated to the level of an average supporting role.

At this time, Rudius also suggested that one day off be arranged every week, so that everyone can spend more time with their families or go out to play and explore around the village together on that day.

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Gao Wen agreed. However, Teacher Luo Qixi was wondering whether she should reduce her salary proportionally, but was unanimously rejected.

By the way, because of the shabby and hardship that teacher Roxy often inadvertently showed, Rudeus hasn't shared his adventurer fantasy in front of everyone for a long time.

"The Three Musketeers and the Labyrinth" and "Legend of the Northern God's Adventure" are just cultural works after all. Just look at Paul and Mrs. Senis and you will know that even former S-level adventurers can only live this kind of life. At least 80% of their achievements are due to the upper noble status that Paul gave up.

But perhaps Rudeus was the only one who felt sorry that adventurers in this world had little social status? Even Mr. Roxy had become accustomed to it.

Closer to home.

On the first day off after his birthday, Gawain fulfilled his promise and accompanied Lorz to the forest to learn how to shoot arrows, and they successfully hunted two hares and a pheasant.

Everyone was very happy after taking it home. Lorz said that he could show Gawain and Sylphiette how to tan rabbit skins in a while. Teacher Loki also helped to clean the game. She seemed to be quite good at this kind of thing.

What kind of life do you adventurers live?

Of course, Gawain was quite familiar with adventurers. Elinarize had even helped him register as one. Even though there were a lot of underage adventurers, the number of two or three-year-olds was quite impressive. If Elinarize hadn't been an S-rank adventurer with certain privileges, it probably wouldn't have been possible.

After pretending to learn archery, Gawain would occasionally carry a bow and arrow to class.

Of course, it was Rudeus and his lovely sister who encouraged them to do this. Suddenly, everyone became interested in picnics and barbecues. Although Gawain always had that "I don't care" look, he would accept any suggestion.

As long as he brought a bow, Gawain would shoot down passing geese or wild jungle animals he saw from afar at noon. Teacher Roxy would skin and debone the animals, Rudeus would cut and marinate them, and Sylphy would prepare the bonfire and tableware. Everyone would work together to enjoy the picnic.

Seeing Gawain's ability to shoot accurately, everyone else also became interested in archery. Considering that many magic spells require shooting skills in actual combat, Gawain didn't refuse the offer. However, the only one who could shoot well, Mr. Roxy, was a complete idiot.

On the second day, a target shooting session was added to the magic practice class.

Two people are responsible for making the targets and two people are responsible for shooting. They take turns, which makes the practice very efficient.

As for why Teacher Luo Qixi also joined in, it was mainly to practice shortening the chant. She had practiced without chanting for so long without any results, so she simply started with shortening the chant and moved closer to her goal step by step.

She worked so hard because Rudeus had successfully performed a basic healing spell without chanting two days ago, proving the general correctness of the current theory.

At the same time, since Rudeus had learned the primary healing magic without chanting, Gawain felt that the time was right. According to the agreement he had made with Rudeus, he planned to start combat training with him.

It just so happened that there was a ready-made arena at the venue.

According to Teacher Luo Qixi, magic combat training is best conducted in a healing magic circle of Saint level or above. Even then, it is not suitable to use intermediate and above attack magic. After all, if you accidentally hit a vital point, there is no way to save it.

However, the young teacher, who claimed to be an expert in magic circles, was actually a partial student who had barely mastered intermediate healing magic. She could only talk the talk and was completely unable to arrange a suitable venue. Although Sylphy consoled her, she said that with the knowledge taught by Milis blocked, even if she had talent, she couldn't learn advanced healing magic, so as long as she could learn intermediate healing magic, it would make no difference.

It’s all Rudeus’ fault. The angelic Sylphy has become a bit sharp-tongued.

In short, based on the reasons mentioned above, Teacher Lokisi is quite resistant to Gawain and Rudeus' decision.

She also shared an experience of encountering a gang of thieves during her adventurer career. In order to resist the brutal gang of thieves, Teacher Loki chose the weakest and, in her opinion, the most gentle [Water Ball] magic. She just wanted to use a large ball of water to knock the thieves to the ground and stop their progress. However, even such a basic water magic, after hitting the enemy, directly blew off the opponent's head, neck, part of the chest and shoulders.

Hearing this, Sylphy hid behind Gawain.

However, Gawain was quite confident in his combat skills. Even though he had little actual combat experience, he had plenty of mental simulations. Anyway, as long as he didn't attack Rudeus's body, there would be no problem.

After several days, thanks to Rudeus's efforts and persuasion, the combat training class was allowed by the parents.

It opened successfully.

The reason is: No chanting magic can control the power.

Of course, Teacher Roxy and Sylphy also joined in.

Teacher Luo Qixi's initial thought was probably that she had sophisticated experience in magic combat and a lot of sparring experience, which could not only teach everyone and escort everyone's training, but also remind everyone how dangerous the battle was during the process.

But Gawain does not trust Mr. Loki's fighting ability at all. He demands that he be the instructor instead and everyone must fight with him.

Teacher Luo Qixi protested seriously and challenged Gao Wen to a duel, intending to teach this precocious and stupid kid a lesson.

As a result, less than a minute after the competition started, Teacher Luo Qixi became withdrawn. As soon as she left the battle area, she squatted in the corner alone, drawing circles to escape reality.

Sylphy, who went to comfort the teacher, secretly told Gawain at night that teacher Roxy was secretly wiping away tears at that time.

After all, Gawain didn't fight back at all. He just approached her at the speed of an ordinary person walking, dodging or blocking attacks with magic. He walked across a distance of fifty meters to her side, and then gave her a slap on the head in a disrespectful manner, declaring victory.

Just like that, Gao Wen became a practical class coach.
