Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Vernet shook her head, and her originally fair skin turned a little red.

Although he seemed to be drinking very heroically just now, this guy's alcohol tolerance is really not that good.

Ron could only hope that she could drink well, otherwise he would have to disturb her drinking pleasure and force her to sober up.

The girl sipped the wine in the swirling glass.

"First, the Great Forest isn't monolithic. The Long-Eared Tribe, the Miner Tribe, the Dwarf Tribe... Although the Drudiya Tribe is nominally the royal family of the Great Forest, for various reasons it can't establish a strict hierarchical system like the human race. Furthermore, the Beast God's leadership of the various tribes happened over five thousand years ago."

"Basically, we're allies, and we honor Ted Ludia as royalty for convenience."

"Secondly, even within each ethnic group, there isn't just one voice."

"Some people support declaring war on humans, while others believe the demons have gone too far. If they fail to win, they will inevitably face a reckoning."

"This debate prevented a complete unification of voices. Ultimately, those who believed in war formed a faction led by the Orcs. Those who believed in standing on the side of the Humans and possessed some ability left their homes and joined the war on the Human side."

"By hedging your bets, no matter which side wins in the end, there's always room for negotiation."

Vernet said lightly.

This was also the first time Ron learned about the situation in the Great Forest.

As expected, in this war that involves the whole world, there are many complex factors for both sides.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Urpe thought the orcs were worth fighting for.

"So you are now?"

"Pergius asked me to help defend the king's territory, so I came here."

"I see."

"Hey, don't start talking about such boring topics all of a sudden. Drink, drink!"

"To the future five hundred years from now."

Ron and Vernet clinked their glasses and drank them both in one gulp.

……

……

"An ominous future..."

Demon Continent, Demon God's Palace.

Laplace, with waist-length green hair, looked at the information in his hand, a thoughtful look on his handsome face.

"Yes."

"According to the intelligence gathered on the battlefield, that brave man claims to be from the future five hundred years from now, and has descended into this era to save the ominous future. His swordsmanship and magical powers are unfathomable, and no one is currently a match for him."

"However, if you, Laplace-sama, take action yourself..."

The demon below the throne knelt on one knee, unable to hide the fanaticism on his face.

Laplace ignored the insignificant compliments and pondered the time point of "five hundred years later" in his heart.

Although time travel sounds like a fantasy, it is not incomprehensible to him who has a vast knowledge of magic.

And, most importantly...

He turned his head to look behind the throne.

On the wall behind the throne, a large number of magical lines were densely packed like mottled copper rust, and a dark purple light flowed between the lines, which was a sign of magic power flowing through them. It was more like a magical ritual than a magic circle.

No one among the demons can understand these patterns.

Only Laplace knew.

That was a secret technique to ensure that even if he died in this war, he would be able to reincarnate and be resurrected five hundred years later.

Five hundred years later, an ominous future.

A brave man from the future.

If it is a coincidence, it would be too far-fetched.

Laplace slowly stood up, muttering to himself as he looked at the extremely complex reincarnation secret technique.

"I am that ominous future..."

"Demon God, Laplace."
