Episode 23 – Charlotte san’s identity

────I thought that Reijo-san, whom I see in my dreams about my previous life, must still be attracting many people by that beauty and brains in my previous life.

That is why, even though Charlotte-san was looking for someone she liked in her previous life, I did not look for Reijo-san, whom I was close to in my previous life.

Because, meeting in this world means that the person is in a previous life. …… but

Now I know from Charlotte san’s mouth that the name of the person she liked in her previous life was called Aruto and that Charlotte san’s own last name in her previous life was Reijo.

In other words, …… Charlotte san’s true identity is that Reijo san, and the person Reijo san liked in her previous life was me in a previous life.

“W-Why…..”

It is a surprising fact that Reijo-san liked me, but more than that, ──── Reijo-san is in this world, and the statement that she followed me.

Considering those things, …… Reijo-san is no longer in her previous life.

Not only her beauty and brains, but even the environment of being rich was on her side…….If Reijo san had lived, what would she have been able to do?

Reijo san could have lived a happy life by running a company, earning money, and using that money to help others, even if it wasn’t for others.

Even if it wasn’t directly my fault ──── that I deprived her of that possibility ……, if she hadn’t been involved with me, she wouldn’t have had to come to this world.

“…… Al? What’s wrong? You’ve been acting strange since a while ago.”

“…..!”

As Charlotte san said that, she looked worried about me, and for a moment I saw her face as Reijo-san… something like this had happened before, but I had no idea that Charlotte-san is really Reijo-san.

“Haaa, haaa….Uuuu, haaa”

How could Reijo-san have followed me to this place?

If Reijo-san had never had anything to do with me, would she be enjoying her time in her previous life?

If that’s the case…because you were involved with me, Reijo-san────

“Al! You’re breathing too shallow? Breathe properly!”

“…… breathing.”

Speaking of which ……, I feel like I’ve been having a little trouble breathing since a while ago.

But I don’t feel like …… breathing.

“I’m fine.”

“You’re not okay! Breathe deeply!”

“I’m not in the mood to. ────”

“Don’t be silly! What will I do if Al is in trouble?!”

“…… what to do? I mean, even if I’m gone, you can still find someone you like, Charlotte san,────”

As I said that, I realized.

If I am not here, Charlotte will never be able to fulfill her goal of finding the person she loved in her previous life, and there will be no point in her coming to this world to pursue the person she loved in her previous life …….

I was thinking about that for a moment, and Charlotte hugged me and said

“Don’t be silly! Even if I find him, it won’t mean anything if Al isn’t around either…….Pleas…. don’t let me lose al.”

“……”

I took a deep breath and breathed as Charlotte san told me to do.

“Al ……! Really, don’t say scary things all of a sudden ……, I was really, really scared.”

Charlotte-san said in a weak voice as she tightened her hold on me.

I don’t want ……Charlotte san to suffer, and I can’t do anything that would make me take my own life so poorly.

But of course I can’t reveal myself to Charlotte-san and live happily ever after, after I have stolen Charlotte-san’s …… Reijo-san’s brilliant future.

I said, pulling Charlotte away from me as she hugged me.

“Leave me alone …… for a bit, I need to think about something, and I’ll see you tomorrow as usual ────”

“No.”

I tried to move away from Charlotte-san, but she grabbed my arm and continued by saying.

“If I leave Al alone now, Al will never come back…Even if it’s not physically possible, I feel like something important about Al will never come back…That’s why, No… If you really have to go, I won’t let you go even if I tie you up.”

“Charlotte san,…….”

“If Al has something on his mind right now and he doesn’t want to tell me about it, I won’t ask,…… but let me stay with him,…… and I don’t want to have the same regrets I did then.”

Every one of Charlotte san’s kind words hurt,…… but at the same time I felt happy, and I felt self-loathing toward myself for being such a contradiction.

…However, I don’t want to ignore Charlotte-san’s kindness

“I understand,…… then please stay by my side.”

When I told her that, Charlotte san smiled gently, hugged me and said

“Yeah….I will always be by your side, Al.”

After that, Charlotte-san and I spent time together without saying a word to each other.

I am happy that Charlotte-san is kind to me, and I am also disgusted with that happiness… It was a little painful to spend time with Charlotte-san with these contradictions… ──I can say with certainty that if Charlotte-san hadn’t been by my side, I would have lost something important to me, just as she said… But… .

“……”

Charlotte-san…… Reijo-san…… what should I do from now on────
