Ah, that ones a reincarnated person.

Boommmmm!!!

In the early morning mist of Naso Forest, an unheard roar reverberates.

Naturally, I was jolted awake by that roar and its accompanying vibration.

The Kariva Great Tree, where I nest, trembles violently.

Whats this noise!?

Its still early in the morning, and yet it disturbs my peaceful sleep!

I really hate being disturbed while Im sleeping!

I leap up, frowning, and stick my head out of the hole to look outside.

The dark blue sky is gradually brightening.

Beneath it, in a corner of the lush Naso Forest, black smoke is rising.

<This looks like an event is happening! Emi, lets go see!>

This Extra, being a maniac for isekai broadcasts, casually uses slang learned from events in streaming. And shes overly curious and carefree.

Without any sense of caution, she made such a suggestion.

Still groggy from waking up, I, driven by anger for having my peaceful sleep disturbed (planning to throw stones in protest), thoughtlessly dashed toward the source of the roaring noise and smoke.

* * *

And that brings us to now.

It was quite the roar, wasnt it, Extra?

<Yes, indeed.>

The cause of such a roar must definitely be something, right?

<You are correct. Emi is smart.>

If the cause turned out to be a dangerous and powerful monster, what were you planning to do, Extra?

<>

Silent treatment, huh.

<Emi, you too! You ran all the way here without thinking as well! Its unfair to blame only me for a lack of crisis awareness!>

Gah! I cant argue back when you put it like that!

<All we need to do is be more careful in the future, right? Now, as you can see, there doesnt seem to be any danger this time, right? Right?>

Well, um, I guess theres no danger, maybe?

I arrived at the source of the smoke in less than five minutes.

It was quite a distance, but as a 5-year-old who is accustomed to forest living and skilled in Body Strengthening, I wasnt even out of breath from such a move.

And then.

What Im secretly peeping at from the bushes is a clearing that suddenly appeared in Naso Forest.

Wasnt there such a clearing here until yesterday?

The trees were knocked down, turned into black char, and smoke was billowing up.

Ah the carcasses of (probably) Naked Awful-tasting Mice have also turned into charcoal.

Theyre definitely inedible now. What a waste

But thats not the point!

My gaze shifts to the person who seems to have created this clearing.

Standing there was a beautiful boy with flaming red hair and red eyes, about the same age as me no, if my memory serves me right, he should be the same age as me.

When I say if my memory serves me right, its because I know the name of that beautiful boy.

After all hes Torch Fenoben, who lives in the same village of Fenoben as me.

Oh, the reason his surname is the same as the villages name is that hes the son of the village chief.

In this country (I dont know the name of the country because I havent studied it), commoners like me dont have surnames, but it seems that families at the level of the village chief can have a family name. Not that it matters.

Hmm? But what in the world is going on here??

As far as I know, Torch-kun is indeed the son of the village chief, but hes definitely just a typical village child A, and shouldnt possess the power to cause such ridiculous destruction?

As I stood there perplexed and frozen, Torch-kun, who had a wry smile on his face, began to mutter to himself.

My super hearing, honed by forest living (probably due to Body Strengthening making my ears incredibly sharp), caught his words.

This requires practice in control. Really, the power of Divine Blessing is something else

Torch-kun mutters to himself in a give me a break manner.

Huh? Was he always the type to talk like an adult?

I thought he was more of a typical mischievous 5-year-old brat

Wait, blessing?

Torch-kun mentioned a blessing just now, didnt he?

<He did.>

A blessing is

<Blessings are the favors bestowed by gods on creatures or lands. In streaming terms, theyre also called cheats.>

Torch-kun said Divine Blessing, right?

<Yes, he did. In this world, when you mention Holy Goddess, it refers to Holy Goddess Laintorlie. A god who governs all that is holy.>

I remember that name

That god, probably, was at that auction venue five years ago

<Laintorlie is a super famous isekai streamer! Its natural for them to participate in the auction of souls.>

An adult-like demeanor unbefitting of a 5-year-old.

And a mighty power. Divine Blessing.

Ah, that ones a reincarnated person.
