Finally, after all of today’s lectures were over, Charlotte-san and I headed for the Anastasia family mansion together in the carriage.
During the journey, Charlotte-san kept opening and closing her mouth to say something, but before she could tell me anything, the carriage arrived at the Anastasia family’s mansion.
And as usual, Charlotte san entered the mansion, and tried to enter Charlotte san’s room, but ────
“Charlotte san, may I have a moment of your time now?”
“…….”
Charlotte-san looked surprised with her eyes wide open, as if she didn’t expect me, who had not spoken to Charlotte-san from yesterday until now, to speak to her.
Then, she continued, looking a little gloomy.
“I know it’s pathetic to say this, but I …… still haven’t accepted that he and Al are different people.”
“There is nothing shameful about it,……, it’s just that I realized that I may have been giving up the possibility of being able to help Charlotte san by thinking I understood her, so this time I want to understand her properly.”
When Charlotte-san saw me looking straight at her and telling her that, she smiled a little and said, although her expression was gloomy.
“Al is amazing, it’s only been a day since yesterday, but he seems to have changed a lot. …… Compared to that, I haven’t made a single step forward from my previous life after all, my physical body is still in this world, but everything else is still in the world of my previous life. ……Why am I so weak?”
“If that’s the love Charlotte-san had for him in his previous life, then it’s not weak, it’s just strong love ……, so there’s nothing to be demeaning about it.”
When I said that, Charlotte san lost her gloomy expression and became a little brighter and said.
“Thank you, Al,…… I feel a little better,…. anyway, do you want to come into my room and talk?”
“Please do.”
I was not able to talk for a long time in the hallway in front of Charlotte san’s room, so I decided to go into Charlotte san’s room and sit down on a chair so that we were face to face.
Then, I invited her to take some time to talk to me.
“I think I understand Charlotte-san in this world to a certain extent…but when I think about it, I only know about Charlotte-san from her past life, who shaped her current thinking, so… I wanted to understand more about Charlotte’s past life…Even if we can’t directly find someone Charlotte-san likes, there may be hidden hints that can help Charlotte-san.”
“If I couldn’t accept that Al wasn’t him, I wouldn’t have been able to accept it even if Al told me so, but when I looked at Al, I realized that I couldn’t stand still forever either….So, it may not make sense for Al to ask me why I fell in love with him or whatever, but just in case, I’ll tell Al about my name in my previous life, my high school name, and my previous life.”
“Thank you, maybe if there is something I know about somewhere in that information I might be able to help.”
“Yeah …… Al, can I ask you what Al was like in his previous life too?”
“My previous life? I don’t think that would be interesting to ask.”
“No, I want to hear about it,…… and I want to understand Al better, and I’m a little stuck on something that Al said to me before. ──── “
“”Stuck ……?”
“Just emotionally for me,…… but for now, after I tell you about my past life, you can tell me about Al’s past life too.”
“…… okay.”
Emotionally caught up…… that word has bothered me a bit, but for now, for Charlotte san’s sake, let’s listen to Charlotte san’s story of her past life and see who she loved in her past life and lighten the load on Charlotte san’s heart. I’ll do that …… any way I can, and I’ll focus my attention only on helping Charlotte san.
When I made that decision and faced Charlotte san again, she began to tell me about her previous life.
“I can’t begin to tell you how I felt about him after I fell in love with him, so I’ll tell you how I fell in love with him. …… I’ve told Al a little about this before, but in my previous life, life itself was painful for me.”
The reason for that pain was that she had good studies, good exercise, good looks, and she was even richer, so she didn’t feel like she accomplished anything, and the only people who got involved were those who got involved because of her looks or money. Charlotte san told me this story before.
“So, for the first time in my sophomore year of high school, someone who didn’t care about me …… he showed up, and while a normal person would have been happy that I just talked to him ──── he only vaguely remembered my name and said hello.”
“I believe your name is Whatisurname san, right?’
“Yes,…… Al said the same thing to me as he did, and that’s when I started to really get to know him. …… That’s not important right now, I’ve told you this much before.So I’ll get to the point here──── a little bit of an old story…. I’m sorry to bother you, but will you hang out with me?”
“Yes, I’ll hang out with you as much as you want.”
I decided to concentrate more deeply and listen to Charlotte san’s story from this point on.
──── but at this time I was only thinking about helping Charlotte-san,…… which is why I was totally unprepared myself.
I wasn’t …… prepared to hear who Charlotte san was, and who …… Charlotte san liked.
