Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san?

"... divine... fiarma... empire...?

Such a country - I don't know.

Nowhere in the world does it.

The man in this hat is lying?

... No, it wasn't that atmosphere.

The man in uniform, standing outside the lay, looked at me with a surprised face.

Surprised by his words, as strange as welcome.

So... you don't think I've been flown to another world...?

But Tina said.

Only a soul can travel between worlds.

"Sir? Your face is bright blue. Your health..."

Leaving the man in the hat alone, I ran back into the room.

I have an appearance.

And I showed myself.

Moments - for the first time since I woke up, I relieve myself.

My clothes were changing.

It is no longer a thin, dirty robe that I always wore, not decorative.

Clothes that are clean, beautiful, and have superior fabrics, as if they were to be worn for a party.

Though it is uncomfortable for me to wear such clothes on purpose, but the face, the body, was mine to my knowledge.

... Only the soul can cross the world and the world.

If this is a different world, my body should be someone else's.

I mean, this isn't a different world.

Authentic... I was born and raised and met the Jacks... it's that world.

"What... what happened...?

Confusion like being thrown out of sanity in a nightmare circles around my head......

I wanted to escape from it and I looked into the room.

I have a package that looks like mine.

If you untie it, the way you store it is exactly what you are.

But... the contents are completely different.

Whatever the change of clothes, preserved food, etc... and other things that I don't even know how to use keep coming out.

Why am I here?

I couldn't grasp my own footprints.

What history, what purpose, am I staying in this inn?

I rushed back to the entrance, driven in agony.

"Um!"

"Yes?

The man in the hat who was waiting for me on the spot - an employee of this inn because he just said 'customer' about me - blinks in confusion.

"I... myself, in this room? Alone?

"Yeah... It was one of you. He said he came to see an old acquaintance. I thought you signed it when you checked in…"

"Show me!

How well trained, the employee guided me, bewildered.

Down a number of stairs, to the first floor.

It's a huge, luxurious inn.

First floor - the space, which would be the entrance, is as majestic as a castle......

It hangs from the high ceiling, which is many meters, to the chandelier.

How could I, the traveler of the stream, have stayed here...

When the employee pulled inside the front desk, after a while, he brought a bunch of paper.

"This way."

The bundles of paper are lined with names noted in separate handwriting.

Check-in list.

Among them, it did have a signature with 'Rachel'.

The handwriting is mine too...

The letters are the same as they are used in the Kingdom of Laes.

Apparently, I did stay in this inn of my own free will.

Yet I don't remember that at all.

... it's like suddenly I'm in someone else's body...

"Here, we're checking out in five minutes..."

"... Yep. I'm sorry...... Immediately."

In any case...... any more, being here was too disgusting.

When I went back to my room and gathered all the luggage I could see, I followed the Hotel Grand Sens...

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

"Hail, Your Highness!!

"Glory to the Fiamma Empire!!

Out of the city I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

I've never seen a city so vibrant.

Neither Rainardia, the king capital of the Kingdom of Laes, Bradia, the king capital of the Kingdom of Lowe, nor Irnesia, the capital of the Kingdom of Cenli, had ever been so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle with so many people.

of carefully paved cobblestone streets. Here, red-handed people are singing, dancing, and making all the noise of rudeness.

Something looked like a celebratory day.

Store-opening stalls are built all over the place, and people are getting drunk during the day.

This was the air peculiar to the festival.

I can also be convinced that this vibrancy is because it is a festive day.

But there was something odder than that.

It's a clump of iron that runs round and round.

I could see a little bit of it from the inn window.

A car that exhales black smoke from a small chimney and roars beastly with Bunwun.

I don't know how the hell it works...... the wheels are turning all by themselves even though the horses aren't holding it.

I felt as heterogeneous as the first time I saw a Dimkuld gun.

It's so weird, no one but me seems uncomfortable.

The intolerable finesse grabbed the back of my chest.

It's like I've gotten lost in the world of fantasy paintings......

Somebody... Somebody, I want you to tell me.

Where am I?

What happened to me?

Anyone, I want you to tell me...

- Don't move.

Walking in the crowd, a hard voice came right behind me.

Something hard and cold sticks to my back.

What...? The chase?

"There was a report. That's you. What kind of strange traveler is that?"

"Newsletter, newsletter...?

"Please come with me. If you've only been drinking too much in the morning, think of it as bad luck."

... an employee of that inn?

You mean you called the gendarmerie or something because my condition was strange...?

"You don't get too violent, do you? If there's anything to catch and make a scene around this city, it's going to be even more exciting."

Knock, and laugh like you pushed him to death, in that voice.

The neck muscle popped, deliberately.

This voice.

This voice...!

"... Ruby...?

"Ah?"

"Ruby Bergson......?

Horrible, twist your neck behind your back......

There, I saw the cat's ear.

There was a familiar face that looked suspiciously at me.

"You... how do you know my name?

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

"Ruby!"

"Whoops!?

Grabbing Ruby's shoulder as she looks back, she makes her eyes black and white.

She was wearing unfamiliar clothes.

It's a blue uniform, a tight uniform she doesn't seem to like.

"Ruby......? Ruby, right? A real...?

"Ha!? What are you talking about, man? Let go of me for now! I'll shoot you, Cora!

It was the blackening muzzle that Ruby accidentally poked in front of me.

Gun.

I lean back reflexively and take my hand off Ruby's shoulder.

"... you're as reported. She's a crazy woman... And you're an elf. Damn, are those two marriages that rare?

"... Ruby...?

Is she really Ruby?

Or, girl x......?

No, in any case, it was crazy.

Her eyes upon me are as if against a stranger...

"Do you... don't you remember me, Ruby?

"I just remembered. There was this crazy woman, Elf."

"Me! Rachel! I was a teacher in college......!

"Huh? College?

With the muzzle stuck, Ruby surprisingly creases at the root of his eyebrow.

"You mean school (...)?... Was there, a teacher like you..."

"... eh..."

Learning, garden...?

School, what...?

College, right?

Spiritual Academy, right?

Where did we, Jack and I, all meet?

"... chip. The wild horses began to gather."

Only when the crowd had shunned us and kept us afield.

"Come on, Icareelf! I'm busy today, too! Don't bother!

"Hey, wait a minute......! Hey, Ruby! Really -"

"- Whoa, wait a minute!

A high voice was sandwiched between us from beyond the noise.

I, Ruby, look back in unison.

Out of the hedgerows to be wrapped away, one girl came out flabby and breathed "Phew."

I... keep an eye out.

Long stretched silver hair that shines brightly in the sun......

Young looks about twelve......

I know.

I know her.

The silver-haired girl approached flat as her gaze gathered and raised her hand gently to Ruby.

"I see you again, my uncharted godson. You seem to be doing fine."

"It is. You're the dean." Again, "how many years ago did we meet?... What are you doing? Here."

I promised to meet an old acquaintance.

"An old acquaintance?... and, hey, no way..."

"Hihihi! Exactly. I'm talking about this squid elf."

The silver-haired girl looked up at my face, still stunned.

That grin.

A powerful grin that no one can shake.

I - I know.

"Long time no see, Rachel - my strangest disciple."

It was Toula.

It was Toula Cleese.
