────Past life memories.
When Charlotte san asked me the same question before, I anticipated that my relationship with her would change if I answered it truthfully, and I decided that there was no need to take such a risk and tell Charlotte san that I remembered a memory from my previous life, and in the end I I did not tell Charlotte san that I had recalled memories of my previous life.
However, here I am, and Charlotte san is asking me the same question again…… and this time, unlike the last time, I have to answer whether I have recalled or not.
And if I have to answer …… one or the other, that is, answer the truth or lie, I don’t want to lie to her────
I opened my mouth to answer Charlotte san’s question, and I answered her question.
“Yes, I remembered on the day of my sixteenth birthday, memories of my previous life.”
“…..! I knew it was true! I knew it.”
After saying this, Charlotte-san pulled her face away from mine and continued.
“Since the day Al turned sixteen, he and Al began to overlap in my mind,……, so I thought that maybe Al, like me, recalled memories of his previous life on his sixteenth birthday, just like I did.”
“I see…… but I don’t think it would have had that much of an effect on Charlotte-san whether or not I had recalled memories of my previous life, but I was wondering why Charlotte-san was so concerned about me remembering memories of my previous life?”
“Because I thought …… it would be nice if Al was him. …… No, I’m sure Al is him now, too.”
“He …… the person you liked in your previous life, Charlotte san?”
“…… yes.”
After giving a small reply, Charlotte-san put her left hand on my right hand.
Is that so…until now, I didn’t understand why she was so concerned about my past life, which shouldn’t have had much to do with Charlotte san, but Charlotte san…Because she saw him and me in the same way, she had a hope that in my previous life, I might be the person Charlotte san liked.
……But ────I’m sorry Charlotte san, but I have to tell her something terrible so that she can meet that real person as soon as possible.
“Charlotte san,…… I’m not that person.”
“…… Eh?”
“If Charlotte-san, who can no longer see that person in an unreasonable way, sees me and that person together, and furthermore I have memories of a previous life, I can understand why she would want to see me together with that person. …… But I’m not that person.”
“Why ……? I haven’t even told you the name of the person I love yet, how could Al know that?”
“Charlotte san, you love that person in a previous life, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I love him…I still love him now, so if Al is the who remembered the memories of my previous life…I will use everything I have now to fill him with me this time.”
“Charlotte, that person is not …… me.”
Charlotte’s expression changed darkly as I repeatedly told her so.
Then, in a voice as dark as her expression, she said.
“Why …… would Al say something that would destroy my hope? That’s the only …… Al is him, the only ──── I have.”
“I will definitely continue to search with Charlotte san for the person she loved in her previous life,…… but I’m not that person, because in my previous life,──── I didn’t have anyone who liked me that much, much less love for me.”
“……”
Charlotte san opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.
Yes,……, there were people who enjoyed spending time with me, like Reijo-san in high school, and Reijo-san seemed to enjoy interacting with me, especially when I didn’t even try to talk to her────, but it wasn’t a romantic feeling. I was not in love with her. ……I had no such thing, and she had not even told me that she was in love with me.
It would be strange to think of it as romantic feelings in such a situation,…….
“As I said before, I’ll go with Charlotte to find the person she loved in her previous life, wherever that may be,……, so don’t be discouraged.”
I tried to say so, but Charlotte san kept her expression dark and her voice trembling as she said.
“I wanted …… Al to be him. ……”
“I’m …… sorry.”
In response to Charlotte san’s grief, I could only apologize, so I apologized, and Charlotte san shook her head and said.
“No, no,…… Al has no reason to apologize, because,…… I still don’t know,…… so,…… name, name! I’m going to tell you his name now, and if Al’s name in his previous life was the same as that one, tell me honestly!”
Charlotte san said, looking exhausted.
“…… Okay.”
I’ll answer this question honestly.
Charlotte-san can at least easily tell whether I’m lying or telling the truth. …… If she knows that I’m telling the truth there, and then she knows that I’m not that person, Charlotte-san will give up. .
Charlotte san opens her heavy mouth.
“His name is …… his, name is …….”
As she was about to tell me the person’s name, Charlotte-san turned her face down, took my right hand in both of hers, and said
“No, I can’t tell you …… if Al is not him, then I….”
If I compare detailed information such as my name and the high school I attended, I can definitely figure out whether or not I am the person Charlotte-san liked in her previous life..
A ray of hope for Charlotte san.
If it turns out that I’m not really the person that Charlotte san liked, then Charlotte san will lose even that ray of hope.
……It’s something I’ll have to face someday, but for now.
“Charlotte san, let’s take the rest of the day off.”
Why are you being so nice to me? because of me—-“
When she was about to say that much, Charlotte-san closed her mouth once, seemed to calm down, and opened it again and said.
“I’m sorry, Al didn’t do anything wrong,…… but you’re right Al, I’ll take the day off,…… I feel tired.”
“……Yes.”
I watched as Charlotte-san headed off to bed, and I left Charlotte-san’s room.
It really hurts my heart to think about Charlotte-san’s feelings right now,…… but still, it should be better to face reality at an early stage for the future.
I was a little tired today too, so I decided to go back to my room and go to sleep, albeit a little earlier than usual.
(TL/N : Ah come onnnnn!!!!)
