“…… Hey Al, do you believe in past lives?”
“…… past lives?”
Charlotte-san, whom I work for as a butler and who is said to have a talent unparalleled in the Anastasia family, which is considered to be one or two of the greatest in the country, said something out of the ordinary while sitting on the bed.
Past life is an unfamiliar term, but it means your former self, not your current self. ……
“That seems like a difficult question to answer right off the bat, but why are you doing this out of the blue?”
“Because Al is the closest person to me in this world and I think he is the most important, and I don’t want to hide anything from him or anything, so I just wanted to tell him,…… and besides, Al’s birthday is tomorrow, so it’s not bad to talk about these things once in a while, right?”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with talking about anything you want to talk about, Charlotte san”
“Fufu, Thank you.”
Charlotte-san smiled gently as she said that.
….. Charlotte san has beautiful white hair, clear white skin, and a face that can only be described as beautiful and because of her rank as a duke, she doesn’t smile much at the school. But when she is at home with me, she would show me her kind smile.
I was somewhat happy about that.
As I was thinking about this, Charlotte’s expression hardened a little and she said something shocking in a serious tone of voice.
“I,…… remembered a memory from my previous life on the day of my sixteenth birthday the other day.”
“…… Eh?”
Remembered …… her memory!?
“I remembered that I was a high school student in a place called Japan in a previous life, and not only that,…… but I remembered everything I had done in my previous life.”
“In a place called Japan, high school (koukousei)? Is it a kind of aristocracy?”
“No, there was no aristocracy in my previous life.”
“E-Eeh!?. N-No aristocracy, does that mean it was a lawless area?”
“This is not the case,……, after all, it is difficult to say suddenly about the previous life, I’m sorry for confusing you.”
I tilt my head to Charlotte-san who seems apologetic.
“I don’t think Charlotte-san has anything to apologize for, in fact I’d like to hear more about her if I can get to know her better!”
“I see…… true, I’m always helped by Al, thanks.”
After saying this, Charlotte san, who was sitting on the bed, lightly patted my head as I was standing.
Then she removed her hand from my head and began to continue.
“In that previous life, there is someone I …… loved.”
“Charlotte san, you loved someone ……?”
“Yes,…..a man.”
“Eh?!”
Up until now, Charlotte-san had been romantically approached in various ways by people from the nobility to the common people, but she had turned them all down with seeming disinterest, and since it was very unexpected for me that Charlotte-san would fall for someone, I was taken aback.
“I was willing to give up everything, body and soul, for him.”
“So …… what happened with that man?”
“—He had an accident.”
“…… accident?”
“He got hit by a big car……, what we now call a horse-drawn carriage.”
“The carriage …… but then he could have recovered using recovery magic, couldn’t he?”
“When I think about it, that world is really an inconvenient world that looks convenient,……, but in my previous world, there was no magic. “
“T-there is no magic ……!?”
“Instead, there were advances in technology similar to magic, but …… he was not saved.”
Charlotte san’s face darkened and said that,……I’ve never seen Charlotte san look so gloomy, I’m sure she cared about the man a lot.
“I had been imagining many things when I was in love with him, playing with him, having fun with him in many places, having physical contact with him,…… and then I lost it all because of that one accident,…… so I no longer had the will to live. I lost the will to live and went after him ──── .”
“That’s enough, Charlotte san.”
I said, as Charlotte san had done to me earlier, this time as I stroked Charlotte’s head as she sat on the bed.
“I’ve seen enough to know that you care about that person, Charlotte san, so you don’t have to bother saying painful things anymore …….”
“Al……!”
I said, and Charlotte san hugged me and buried her face in my body and said.
“I miss him, I miss him ……I still want to meet the person I love the most… But he’s already… I wish I hadn’t remembered these memories…”
“I’m sure you’ll …… see him.”
“I can’t see him …… because he’s already ────”
“Maybe he’s even here in this world.”
” ……!? He’s here in this world ……”
“Yes, so you just have to find him …….”
“But what if I can’t find him ……?”
“That’s when you’ll have to wait and see.”
As I replied, Charlotte leaned away from me and said with a smile
“I wonder why …… it really warms my heart to be with Al.”
“Well, I’m glad to hear that.”
“……I’ll celebrate your birthday tomorrow in a big way.”
“Thank you!”
After that, I left Charlotte’s room and headed to my own bedroom…… and since I was so excited, I decided to stay up until midnight to savor the moment of turning sixteen──── and finally it was time to go to midnight in a few seconds.
Five more, four, three, two, one────
“…… Eh?”
The next moment, I felt an intense dizziness and collapsed on the spot.
This, view…… this, memory────
