Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

"Nonsense? It just seems like your hair is a little long. If you don't want to, forget it."

"No, I mean..."

That's impossible.

I know.

Since coming into this world.

Both my hair and my nails stopped growing.

This means that our lifespan stops passing.

According to the original work, this is because we haven't yet fulfilled our mission in this world, so under the influence of the world's will, we won't age...

Of course, just because you won’t age doesn’t mean you won’t get sick.

In the six years since I came into this world, I have never had my hair cut or my nails trimmed.

But now...

I looked down at my hands.

Although it seems very slight, the nails seem to have grown longer?

"No way... Rudeus, give me a mirror."

"Oh……"

Rudeus held out the mirror.

I looked at my face carefully in the mirror.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

My hair does seem to have grown a little longer.

……

Why did my hair start growing?

This simple question troubles me immensely. Although it may be due to changes in my current body that have caused this situation, I don’t think the real reason is that.

mission.

Until now, I have always believed that I came into this world with a mission.

The same is true for the Seven Stars.

If we do not complete our mission, the passage of time will not be reflected in us, and we will not be able to leave this world. That is the characteristic that distinguishes us from any other life in this world, symbolizing that we come from a different world.

And now my hair is starting to grow.

The signs of the passing of time have already appeared on me.

what does this mean?

Is it simply caused by physical changes?

Or is it because my mission has been accomplished?

I lay awake all night, staring at the ceiling of the tent, lost in thought.

Could it be that, just as I suspected, my mission in this world has already ended? That's why my body is continuing to grow and becoming like a normal person?

This is not impossible.

Perhaps saving Rudeus's father is the meaning of my coming to this world.

But then again.

If this is my mission, then who summoned me, with what power, and for what purpose?

This question has been on my mind since I came into this world.

And until now, there is still no answer.

"Ron, what are you worried about?"

As if sensing my worry, Rudeus came to talk to me.

"I'm feeling very complicated right now. I'm a little unsure of my position."

I went outside the tent and looked at the stars in the sky.

Something is different.

It's not just my feelings about the world, but my mindset... The moment I noticed my hair started growing, my mindset changed.

In the past, I looked at the world from the perspective of an observer and did not want to change the course of the world too much.

After all, for me, an ending like the original is already perfect, and it doesn’t matter even if I’m not there.

However, after obtaining this body, I seemed to begin to become one with this world.

Or to put it another way.

I began to integrate into this world.

What kind of change in mentality is this?

At the very least, my perspective on various things has become somewhat different. Some things that I once thought were insignificant have become much heavier for me, and all the things that I could once avoid talking about now have to be faced.

"If you ask me, you're just thinking too much."

Rudeus patted my shoulder.

"Think about it carefully. You now have magic power and immortality. Isn't that much better than before? You didn't lose anything on this trip to the maze. Instead, you gained a lot. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah, maybe..."

I have no comment on what Rudeus said.

The Dulait disease that once troubled me has now been cured without treatment.

No one knows what happened deep in the caves of that maze.

What is the current condition of my body?

Even I can't answer it.

"Think positively, bro."

Rudeus pulled me to sit down and said with a smile.

"It's normal to experience ups and downs in life. The most important thing is that you haven't lost anything. The magic disease has been cured. From now on, your life will be like a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky, free from any constraints."

"You have a girl you like, right?"

"Why not find her back and start a new life with a new relationship."

Rudeus' words reminded me of that night several years ago.

Sarah...

The girl with short golden hair, quick movements, and the courage to love and hate.

Where is she now? Has she forgotten me?

I slowly took out her parting gift from my pocket. It was a pair of white over-the-knee socks with a light dark yellow layer on the bottom. It was obvious that the socks had been worn for a while before being taken off and had not been washed.

Whenever I smell these socks, I feel like I'm back to that night.

That soft and slender body made me linger.

But how to say...

Whatever socks.

Only when it is worn on the body will it look charming.

But will we have a chance to meet again?

If we meet again, what can I say to her?

Am I qualified to make a commitment to her now?

And today, can my promise still impress her?

One question after another is nagging at my mind, making me feel extremely complicated.

But at this moment, my fingers touched another pair of socks in my pocket.

That was the amulet that Qixing gave me before we left.

A pair of black mid-calf socks.

The originally restless mood suddenly calmed down.

No, that's not right.

There is one more thing I need to do.

My Dulai disease has been cured for various reasons, but Qixing's situation is different.

Although her body has not yet shown any symptoms.

But it is foreseeable.

In the near future, Dulay disease will also appear in her.

My situation couldn't be replicated on her, so there was only one way to solve her problem.

That is to obtain Socas Grass.

Socas grass can help the body expel excess magic power and is the only antidote for Dulai disease.

If I remember correctly, Socas grass has almost become extinct in this era. The only traces of Socas grass are found underground in the Demon King's Castle in Licaris Town on the Demon Continent.

To obtain Socas Grass, it means...

I must go to the Demon Continent.

Labyrinth Chapter: 93, Seven Star Entertainment

The journey from Lapan takes about a month.

We successfully arrived at the ancient dragon ruins where the transfer magic circle was located.

As the light of the transfer magic circle flickered on and off, we were back in the depths of the forest near Shalia.

Walk through the long and gloomy forest path.

When you can see the light again, you can see the magical city of Shalia standing on the high ground in the distance.

Only at this moment did the people behind me breathe a sigh of relief.

There is a sense of relief that the journey has finally come to an end.

I turned to look at Rudeus.

"Rudeus..."
