Chapter 80 : Freedom from Restrictions ll

after a week .

"I'm finally done," Arata murmured as he looked at Shizu who was still unconscious and it seemed that she wouldn't wake up for a while as her body was still adjusting to the changes that had occurred to her.

After resting for a while, Arata picked up Shizu in carrying princess style and walked out of the cave, aiming to return to Rimuru Village.

"Are you guys okay?" - Rimuru asked worriedly upon seeing Arata and the unconscious Shizu back.

"We're fine," Arata said, looking around for a while. "Do you mind if I build a house here?"

"No problem, but Kaijin and the others are busy at the moment so this will take some time," Rimuru said and was about to offer them a place to stay in one of the tents, but Arata interrupted him.

"It's no problem since I can take care of building the house myself," Arata said before using Plant Manipulation to make a Japanese-style wooden house. "It's done."

"Amazing!" - Rimuru exclaimed upon seeing how Arata was able to build a house or rather a palace in one moment - "How could you do this?"

"It's my extra skill, Plant Manipulation," Arata said before entering the house with Shizu in his arms, "so I'll excuse myself for now."

Arata was tired from working continuously for a whole week and just wanted to rest and Rimuru noticed this and that is why he did not say anything even though he wanted to obtain this skill as it would make many things easier for him.

After entering the house, Arata quickly made a bed using Universal Thread and placed Shizu on it before leaving and making another bed for himself in another room and sleeping.

Arata was so tired that he didn't even check the System and Great Sage's notifications and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

after 3 days .

"Whoa~" - Arata yawned lazily before getting out of bed and washing his face and brushing his teeth while he was still half asleep - "How long have you been asleep?"

Arata couldn't help but wonder when he regained some clarity.

{ Notice: You have been asleep for 74 hours, 34 minutes and 22 seconds }

"I see..." Arata murmured before heading to Shizu's room to see if she had woken up or was still in a coma.

Knock*

Knock*

Knock*

"Excuse me for intruding," Arata said before quietly opening the door to see an empty room and a made bed. "It looks like she's gone out."

After not seeing Shizu anywhere, Arata left the house to walk around the village and search for her to see how she was now.

As soon as Arata left, he saw many new buildings, some of which were even made of stone, which was an amazing progress in just a few days.

"I wonder where Shizu went," Arata murmured and quickly deployed his senses to sense Shizu's location as his senses included a large portion of the Great Jura Forest.

"This aura..." Arata muttered, shock evident on his face, as he did not expect to feel this aura again, since its owner had died a long time ago when he gave him his power and memories.

Without hesitation, Arata used Spatial Manipulation and moved to where he felt the source of the aura.

In an instant, Arata found himself in a village full of Ogre, and it seemed that they were preparing for battle, as everyone was tense and cautious.

"Who are you!" - Ogre exclaimed as he stared at Arata warily and did not hesitate to draw his sword as they were facing imminent death from the attack of the Orcs.

"..." - Arata did not care about the Ogre who was screaming and focused all of his attention on a young Ogre with red hair and a pair of black horns on his head.

"Arata..." - The young Ogre murmured in disbelief when he saw Arata in front of him, as he had not expected to see this friend since they parted ways.

"Benimaru…" - Arata spoke and made sure that the other party was his friend who sacrificed himself for him - "Then you are alive."

"…" - An old red-haired Ogre stared at this and raised his hand to stop the others from attacking this intruder as he could tell that there was some kind of relationship between the intruder and his eldest son.

The red-haired old Ogre knew that his son was a reincarnation as he had told him this before but he did not care as he was still his son of his own flesh and blood and this intruder must be one of his son's acquaintances in his previous life.

"..." - Benimaru stared at his father who gave him a gentle smile before turning to Arata and pulling him away.

"Let's go. This is not a suitable place to talk about this kind of matter." - Saying this, Benimaru pulled Arata and they walked towards a place relatively far away from the others.

"First of all, I'm happy to see you alive, since with your personality I expected you to have died a long time ago at the hands of Vampires," Benimaru said with a happy but sarcastic smile, "or did you die and be reincarnated like me?"

Benimaru knew Arata well, as it was not strange that he had died a long time ago while seeking his revenge, and the possibility of death and reincarnation was not far-fetched since that is what happened to him.

"It's great to know that you're alive and not dead," Arata said with a slight smile as he was happy that Benimaru was alive.

Arata owed Benimaru a lot, in addition to being a dear friend who always helped him without hesitation or dissatisfaction.

"So, have you been reincarnated into this world?" Arata asked with a raised eyebrow as he did not expect something like this to happen.

"That's right." - Benimaru nodded and began to narrate what happened with him to Arata.

On that day, after he sacrificed his being for Arata to gain his power, Benimaru heard the voice of the scientist who gave him some skills in addition to his previous abilities, and then he was reincarnated as a child, the son of the leader of the Oni village.

Benimaru has obtained many skills, namely Survivor, Absolute End, and Gourmet. There are some additional skills and the Resist Skill, but they are not really important.

"I see..." - Arata nodded as Benimaru finished telling him his story - "But even with all these skills you still cannot use your true power without...
