    T.L Enjoy chapter 7. I will try to translate more frequently. But no hard promise ~

    7th Meal: Inheritance

    Currently… I am using all my strength, trying to carry the bodies of the dead.

    Spirit-chan requested this of me yesterday.

    Since she is a spirit, she could not touch physical objects as she would only pass through them.

    It sure is inconvenient being a spirit.

    [Haah, haah… do it, I can do it] (T.L Not exactly sure how to translate this sound effect properly)

    This is tiring! As there are dead bodies all around the village, I have been running around trying to gather them.

    And finally… after working for three days, I managed to gather all the bodies lying around the village into the center of the village.

    Well~ It was hard work! But I am great! I worked extremely hard!

    After completing this request, it was already night time.

    Well~, as I did a lot of work today… so (Nourishment)

    [Fui~…Peachy sensei! Welcome]

    I started creating peachy from my hand.

    Just wait for me… The peachy which I always said was delicious appeared from a dazzling light.

    I immediately started eating. Taking a bite, chewing it… and swallowing it!

    [After a day of work, this feeling is the best…]

    I placed one hand on my back and said an uncle-like statement.

    … In actual fact, my soul is that of an uncle so there should be nothing wrong with this?

    [Well, well… for some reason, I feel that statement is something only a middle age uncle would say]

    … Suddenly, a hand appears and rubbed my head. The owner of that hand is Eltina, who came over to talk to me.

    I felt a cool sensation being transmitted onto my head.

    There is no helping it since she is a spirit?

    [Probably, I think this is… all of it]

    Eltina-san looked slightly lonely while she thanked me as she smiled faintly.

    Maa~…this is natural seeing the bodies of her companions.

    Actually, Eltina is also one of the dead and became a spirit now.

    […Well then, we should make a grave and bury them]

    I looked at Eltina’s face and nodded.

    [Well…then, since you completed my request, I must give you a reward]

    Eltina-san placed her hand on top of my head and started gathering an unbelievable amount of energy.

    Uwaaaaa!? Will it be alright!?

    Surely this is not… [You got tricked!? Stupid! Activating cross thunder!]

    Dokyaaaaaaa!!

    Too bad! Your adventure ends now! …Ah, it won’t not turn out like that, right?

    […From now on, my knowledge and magic, you will inherit them]

    [Eh?]

    Three day ago, I roughly explained my circumstance.

    From the matter of me leaving the forest, to me not being able to use magic and also having no memories… I told her all of it.

    Also the matter of me not having a name. Being naked… I am naked because of various circumstances.

    Since I will see her every night, it would be extremely inconvenient not having a name.

    I decided to name myself Nanashi.

    [Nanashi-chan… are you alright? Is it painful?… Actually, this is also my first time using this magic]

    …. Will there be any problem?

    [The first time… and also my last time using this magic. I will definitely succeed!]

    Not long after, my head was surrounded by a vortex of light.

    The light slowly approached my head… and entered.

    Fuoooooah!? What is that!?

    Knowledge that I never knew about including this world’s magic, language as well as information regarding this world. There are various kinds of information.

    Then… information regarding Eltina-san, from her birth until her death.

    All the experience that she went through… ooh, it’s super hard.

    Then… all the secrets thoughts she kept in her heart… I also inherited it.

    […With this, the inheritance is completed]

    After the inheritance was completed, Eltina-san’s… tears started flowing.

    [Sorry… Nanashi-chan. Regarding this magic, not only my knowledge, you also inherited my memories. All those memories must be unpleasant]

    Aah, feeling of unhappiness.

    Those bastard that Eltina hated to the core, I must punish them if I find them.

    [It is alright, there is no problem… Eltina-san]

    I used… and clearly it is, this world language to reply.

    With this, there are no problem with communication! Myself, I did it!

    [That is great, the magic succeeded without a problem…]

    This time…Eltina-san breathed with a sign of relief.

    Then, she told me this.

    [Well then… it is about time for me to leave this world]

    [Eh.. are you really leaving?]

    Eltina-san nodded sadly.

    However, there are no longer any signs of regret in her eyes.

    [The matters chaining me to this world, have all been resolved by Nanashi-chan…]

    [Really?]

    Eltina-san nodded her head and continued speaking.

    [Un,un… I am already dead. I have already been dead for 5 years now… so it would not be strange for me to become an evil spirit]

    Eltina’s body gradually started fading until I could not see her at all.

    She really achieved enlightenment!?

    Although the time is short, I have been in your care.

    This makes me unwilling to part with her, but it will be cruel if I wished for more.

    That… such a terrible experience.

    …Ah, I remembered! There is one thing I did not inherit.

    I attempted to talk to Eltina-san which has already started disappearing.

    [Eltina-san! I… do not have a real name. Eltina-san, your name… could I… inherit it?]

    Yes, name.

    I do not have a name.

    I hate deciding my own name as I do not have any feelings for such a name.

    Hence… please let me inherit the name of the one that is leaving this world…

    I… felt that Eltina-san was watching me once again

    [Thank you very much… thank you very much… from now on, you name is Eltina Ranford Etil]

    I smiled happily as tears flowed from my eyes. The previous owner of the name, Eltina, really disappeared this time.

    Although… we only interacted for a short three days.

    However, this… to me, is also an important three days.

    Looking at the sky, I saw that it is filled with stars.

    I hoped.

    That the previous Eltina, could have a long and peaceful slumber.

    ————————————————————————————————————————–

    I am an elf.

    I inherited the name, knowledge, magic and memories of the previous Eltina.
