After all the lectures were over, I returned to the Anastasia family mansion with Charlotte san and was told to come to Charlotte san’s room after I finished getting dressed.
I was in that Charlotte san’s atmosphere, and I was sure that it was not a happy story for me, so I was changing as late as I could,────.
“I’m done getting dressed …….”
I had no choice but to go to Charlotte san’s room.
I walked forward and knocked on the door of Charlotte san’s room.
“Charlotte san, it’s me.”
“Yes, you may come in.”
I was surprised to hear her reply, so I went into her room.
I was slightly expecting her to say “I have nothing to do after all, you can go back to your room” here ……, but it seems that such a thing did not happen.
I fearfully opened the door and entered Charlotte-san’s room. Charlotte-san greeted me as she sat down on a chair and smiled at me.
“Well, Al, let’s get right to it, shall we?”
“Y-yes.”
I sat down in the chair opposite Charlotte-san and faced Charlotte-san.
….Charlotte san is smiling at me, but her eyes were not smiling as usual.
“Charlotte-san, am I going to get a sermon or something now?”
I asked her because I wanted to be prepared for the possibility that she might get angry with me.
But Charlotte san tilted her head and said
“A sermon? No, I just want to check something.”
“Eh? Oh, I see.”
If she just wants to check something, I don’t have to worry about her lecturing me.
I was relieved to know that all my imaginings had ended up being my imagination, and my nervousness was quickly dissipated.
“Well, what is it that you want to confirm?”
“Well, before I do, I wanted to ask Al, do you know the word Uwaki (Cheating)?”
Cheating……Oh, come to think of it, Charlotte-san’s behavior changed after having such a talk with Grendel-san in the morning.
As Charlotte san said before that, this is probably not a particularly deep part of the story, so I’ll just answer it as it is.
“I know, how could I not?”
“Yeah, I know that too …… So, Al, what do you think about dating more than one person of the opposite gender at the same time?”
“If it’s not consensual, I don’t think it’s ethical.”
“I think so too… I would never forgive someone for cheating on me, and if my lover did something like that, I would want to completely etch my memory into his memory so that he would never feel like that again.”
I don’t think I’d go that far, but I can understand why you’d want to do that if your actual romantic lover did something like that.
..Rather than that
“What did Charlotte san ask beyond this obvious question ──── ?”
When I was about to raise a question, Charlotte-san continued without paying attention to it.
“I couldn’t just believe Grendel’s story, so today I asked multiple students and teachers at the academy if they knew about the word cheating, and what about dating two or more people of the opposite gender at the same time. …and what do you think they said?”
…… I guess I’ll just have to let Charlotte san’s story speak for now.
“If they weren’t a little strange like Grendel san, wouldn’t they all have given answers similar to mine?”
“Everyone had different ways of dealing with people and so on, but they all had one thing in common, they had never heard of ──── cheating (Uwaki), and it’s basically considered okay to be with more than one person of the opposite gender at the same time.”
“Eh ……?”
“Of course, because the common sense value in this world is usually to emphasize the importance of having as many children as possible to keep the blood of the family alive.”
Charlotte san, who had been smiling and talking earlier, said this with a serious expression on her face.
People don’t know the word “cheating,” and it is considered good practice to be in a relationship with more than one person of the opposite gender at the same time. ……?
The blood of the house, not ceasing ……
“I hope you are beginning to understand what I am trying to say. In short, it’s me and Al who use the word “cheating” in this world, and it’s me and Al who think it’s wrong to be in a relationship with more than one person at the same time.”
“I see …… but why it’s only me and Charlotte san ────”
After saying that, I couldn’t help but stop speaking.
Just me and Charlotte san…?
…The thing that Charlotte san and I have in common is────
“Yes, don’t you think it’s strange that we’re the only one …… Why are there so many people and it’s just us? I mean, It’s not like cheating is forbidden in the Anastasia household. ──── Why is it that only Al and I have values that are so strongly rooted in my previous world?”
“…..!”
I winced as I realized what Charlotte san was about to say, but at that moment she came up to me and said.
“I failed to ask you before, but this time I’m going to make sure you answer me correctly. …… Al, you actually have your memories back from your previous life, don’t you?”
