Another World Returner’s Game Streaming - Chapter 164
164 – Olympic Victory (3)
“… So, according to what Adele Haidt said, she actually said that Mina Ryu is over 200 years old? Does she look that young?”
“At first glance, she looks like she’s the same age as Winter, but does that mean she’s that much older?”
“Yes. The elf race is a little different from humans, so even if they grow very old, it is quite possible for them to maintain the appearance of a human in their early 20s until death. And it cannot be said that Ryumina here is An exception?”
When Ryu Mina saw the sight of Adele Haidt smiling brightly at her, she changed her teeth without even realizing it.
‘I got hit.’
Yes. She was defeated.
Even though they are competing for a man named Eugene and at the same time cannot say that their relationship is good, even with empty words, she never dreamed that they would use such vicious tactics. ﹥
Even so, would you have thought that Ryumina would use such a mean trick as to casually mention her her her her age her her her, which can be said to be her her biggest weakness her her her, at this important event where she meets Eugene’s parents for the first time?
‘Of all the stories, I couldn’t believe I brought up age.’
To tell the truth, Ryu Mina didn’t really like the fact that she was a fundamentally different race from Eugene.
Well, of course, Ryu Mina wasn’t dissatisfied with the fact that she was an elf.
Ryu Mina was not a racist who believed that elves were superior to humans.
She was just dissatisfied.
The fact that humans and elves have very different lifespans, and because of that, Eugene and himself have no choice but to have very different notions of time.
The race called elves basically live foolishly for hundreds of years, and if they put their mind to it, it is possible to live for over a thousand years.
As a result, elves used to think nothing of wasting decades of their lives.
In particular, Ryu Mina, as the guardian of the world tree, was able to enjoy her life as much as she wanted, so she had a strong tendency to do so.
So, for example, the 20 years that Ryumina spent with Eugene to defeat the Demon King were in fact only a very brief moment in her life.
I should say that it felt like I had been traveling with everyone for about two months, based on the human sense of time.
However, for Ryu Mina, the 20 years she spent with Eugene became something she would never forget even in her long life.
In terms of human time, it would only last about two months at most, but in terms of her entire life, it would be a fleeting journey that would not even last a hundredth of a hundredth of the time.
However, in less than a hundredth of that time, the life of a woman named Ryumina was completely shaken.
In this way, Ryu Mina learned about humans’ sense of time by spending 20 years with Eugene, and because of that, she realized that she was at a comparative disadvantage compared to other women.
In fact, at best, Ryu Mina’s current age is ridiculously over 200 years old.
As an elf, you can’t say she’s that young, but at the same time, she’s still so green that you can’t even say she’s old.
However, she came to realize this clearly during her travels over the past 20 years.
For elves, 200 years is nothing, but for humans, 200 years is enough time to rewrite the country’s history.
Therefore, even though she did not express it outwardly, her attitude subtly changed when she treated Ryu Mina, unlike when Eugene treated Arrieta or Adel Haidt.
To borrow Adelheidt’s dog-like expression, should we say that it is an attitude like ‘a young man respecting his elders’.
To be honest, Ryu Mina couldn’t help but get annoyed whenever Eugene treated her like that.
This is because, while Eugene clearly treated her as the ‘opposite sex’ when dealing with Arrieta and Adel Haidt, when dealing with himself, she seemed to have difficulty with something and seemed to be embarrassed.
Well, after living together for 20 years, Eugene came to treat Ryu Mina the same as he treated his other women.
However, to put it the other way, it would mean that it took a whopping 20 years for Eugene to treat her as a woman, beyond the racial and age differences between her as a human and an elf.
Of course, I know it in my head.
In human terms, 20 years is a very long time, and if she were to live 200 years, she would only be seen as significantly older.
However, Ryu Mina hated it when Eugene or people related to Eugene looked at her like that.
Originally, he wouldn’t have paid any attention to how people looked at him or thought of him, but as he came to have a person named Eugene in his heart, he began to care so much about such things.
That’s why, at this moment, Ryu Mina bit her own lip when she realized that Eugene’s parents were starting to care about her because Adele Haidt was making fun of her three-year-old tongue.
‘Okay, you’re going to come out like this, right?’
Ryu Mina also knows it well because she has lived in the human world for a long time.
No matter how many parents-in-law in the world she is, she would never welcome her daughter-in-law who is older than them with open arms.
It might be anyone else, but if it’s Eugene, who gave up all her wealth and glory to return to Earth, saying that she misses her family, then her parents ‘opinions her her would be very important even when it comes to important matters such as her own marriage. There was a high possibility.
In that case, that meant that there were serious difficulties in Ryu Mina’s relationship with Eugene.
Without going too far, Eugene’s parents are also looking at her Ryu Mina with a slightly burdensome look.
At that moment, Ryumina instinctively realized.
If she fails to change the fundamental flow of her story her here, Mina Ryu may end up falling far behind Adel Haidt in this competition over her her Eugene her her her.
In the end, there was only one thing Ryumina could say at this moment.
“Of course, it is true that I have lived for over 200 years. But your father and mother overlooked one important fact.”
“… Important facts?”
“Yes. The difference is that although I am over 200 years old, if you convert that into human years, I am actually only around 20 years old.”
“… Yes?”
For a moment, everyone in the room couldn’t understand what Ryu Mina was saying and ended up tilting their heads.
“If the lifespan of a human is approximately 100 years, and the lifespan of an elf is approximately 1,000 years, then 200 years in elf years is equivalent to 20 years in human years. If you look at it that way, I think I’m still at an age where I’m quite green. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
“… ?”
Yujin’s parents and Gyeoreum looked puzzled at Ryu Mina’s words her her her her.
If you are 200 years old, you are 200 years old, and if you are 20 years old, you are 20 years old. Why do you bother converting an elf’s age to human years?
However, since the elf himself, who can be said to be the person involved, says so, he may or may not make sense…
“Anyway, I’m about 200 years old, but in human years I’m just a novice, having just turned 20. Also, your father and mother would have been over 40 at best, so that would mean they are 400 to 500. Years old in eleven years. So, it is only natural for my father and mother to use informal language with me, and for me to use polite language with you. Right?”
“Ah… “What?”
“Now that I think about it, I guess that’s true… Huh… “
In the end, Eugene’s parents and Winter seemed to be possessed by something and ended up nodding their heads in agreement with Ryu Mina’s words
… In fact, in a corner of my mind, I was wondering if it was really okay to use informal language with someone who was at least 200 years old.
