Bad, ……!
Not only did I make a mistake, but I also put too much of my own desire into it, which made Charlotte san suspicious of me.
For the time being, I’m going to treat Charlotte san as a Feal without revealing that I was me in a previous life.
“I don’t mean to pretend to be someone Charlotte-san likes…However, like Charlotte-san, I also got my memories from my previous life back, so if that person also got his memories back from their past life, I’m not sure. Then I just thought that, based on my previous life’s values, being locked in a room wouldn’t make me feel very good.”
“…… is that really all?”
“Yes.”
“…… I see.”
For the time being, I was able to avoid the situation where people were suspicious of me, but if the same thing continues in the future, Charlotte san might realize the true nature of that strange feeling… It becomes very difficult to make Charlotte san’s romantic values common sense.
In other words, what will be important in the future is whether I change Charlotte san’s romantic values first, or whether Charlotte sna will realize the true nature of the discomfort first.
As I was thinking about the future, Charlotte san opened her mouth and said
“But you’re wrong about one thing, Al.”
“…… wrong?”
“Yeah, I’m sure Aruto-kun wouldn’t like it if I just locked him in my room, and I don’t think I’d want to do that either. But, I’ll make him a meal, I’ll keep him company at night, and he’ll get enough sleep, right? So, if there is a place that I really want to go out with Aruto-kun, or a place that Aruto-kun wants to go out to, I will take him there, assuming that he is absolutely safe. I’ll give it to him… There’s no problem with this, right?”
I was almost thinking to myself, “Surely that’s not a problem────,” even for a moment, but I was talking on the premise that I would be locked up in the first place.
At the point where you’re supposed to be locked up, it doesn’t matter if you like someone or not, there’s only a problem in the first place, so no matter how good everything else is, if you look at it as a romantic relationship, it’s unnecessary.
After all, even if I were to reveal myself, Charlotte-san’s romantic values would have to be changed somehow.
To that end, I respond to Charlotte san’s words.
“I can understand if you spend most of your time together, but if you lock him up, doesn’t that mean he doesn’t have any private time?”
“Eg? Does he need private time?”
“Of course!”
“Why?”
…… As usual, Charlotte-san has unorthodox ideas at the most crucial points, so I decided to explain the necessity of private time to her in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
“For example, there are times when I want to be alone and read a book in peace and quiet.”
“Why don’t I just be quiet then?”
“…… I think there are times when you want to study alone.”
“I think Aruto kun is the same type as Al, and I think he is not good at studying magic and so on, so I will teach him that, and I am confident that I can do better than Aruto kun in other areas of study, so even though my presence may help Aruto kun, I don’t think it will get in his way.”
……So apparently, no matter how many examples I gave, it was going to be very difficult to convey this to Charlotte san, so I decided to take a different direction and tell her.
“On the contrary, is it okay if you don’t have any private time? I’m sure there are times when you want to be alone.”
“Who are you talking to? I don’t think so.”
“That’s not true. ────”
“Do you know how much I wanted to be with Aruto-kun when I lost him in my previous life? No, I don’t think it’s just my past life, but even now… I’d rather be with Aruto kun for the rest of my life than to never be able to see him again, because I know the pain that comes from not having Aruto kun. I have the option of being with Aruto-kun, I’ll never want to be alone… I’ll never have the same regrets as I did then.”
Those words from Charlotte san were very heavy, partly because they were words of feelings that had continued from a previous life, and I was not very able to form any kind of opinion about them.
Charlotte-san looked at me sharply for a moment, and then said
“I want to meet Aruto-kun as soon as possible and even take a bath with him! Naturally, we would have to take off our clothes.”
“Bath ……?!”
Normally, I would not be interested in such things, but the fact that Charlotte san is right in front of me, and the fact that she brought up the idea of taking a bath, which is a little more realistic to me now, rather than something that is not so realistic to me at night, I couldn’t help but imagine the scene, and I became upset.
Then Charlotte san mentioned it to me.
“Why would Al be shaken?”
“…… E?”
“I’m talking about Aruto kun, okay? Why is Al upset?”
“Eh? It’s because …… Charlotte san said something specific and a little harsh about taking off clothes.”
“…that’s okay though.”
Shortly after Charlotte san said that, it was time for the lecture to begin.
If I had talked a little bit more, I might have been even more out of line, but this time the lecture started just in time, so I guess you could say it wasn’t fatal.
I didn’t want to make eye contact with Charlotte san as much as possible, so I only looked at the teacher when the lecture started.
“……”
────Therefore, I was not able to notice that Charlotte san was looking at me with suspicion.
