Reincarnation Monarch

Episode 195: The Red Others

As they walked down the street, they could see on their right a well-maintained coniferous forest road leading to that street.

And as he plugged onto the forest road, Max regrettably said goodbye.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Gaius then returned a gentle nod greeting as well.

"Oh, I'll see you tomorrow"

And Max went straight down the street as it was, and Gaius broke it on his right hand side to enter the forest road and the two split.

And as Gaius silenced and silenced for a while, suddenly a black shadow flew in like a disease, blocking Gaius' gaze.

"... you surprise me... el"

When Elle landed refreshingly at Gaius's feet, he made a great stretch as well as stretched out all over his body.

And when he had finished stretching out his body, he turned to Gaius with a smooth face.

"Doesn't that sound like something funny happened?

"One person is dead, right? I don't know if it's funny."

Gaius said in such a tone as to blame Elle.

"Seriously. You know the soldier who was murdered?

"You don't have a neck, do you? I don't know if I've met anyone before."

"Then can we not be amused? Anyone you know or nothing about dies isn't sad enough?

"That's right... you're careless, aren't you?

"Why not? People are dying everywhere, aren't they? He got sick, he got into an accident, and he was killed. Shall I say it took you to pass by that funeral, because you're careless, and you only make one stubborn face to pass by?

"I'll do some of that. 'Cause you can't go through someone grieving at a funeral with a big mouth full of laughter."

"Would that be if the survivors How about if you're not here? Sure, there's a funeral going on there. I mean, there's someone's body there. As you pass by, I ask you if you wear a mask on purpose and look stubborn."

"... I won't"

"It will be. That's what the death of someone you don't even know is. Even if I felt sorry for the moment I touched that death, I could not hold such emotions for a few seconds. Because you can't get emotional because you're just someone else in red. So even the sentiments of pity disappear like bubbles in a flash."

"That may be..."

"Besides, I just eavesdropped on this one, didn't I even look at the body? Can you grieve? I'm not even trying to feel sorry for you."

"Even so... I don't know..."

"Hmm! The truth is, even you are funny!

"That's not true! I'm not funny!

"Lie! From what you've just seen, you've always been obsessed with riddles!

"That's... yes, but... I wasn't enjoying the death of anyone else!

"Hmm! Same thing!

"No!"

"Same!

"No!"

"Same!

They repeated the same exchange several times, and hung out in the middle of the forest road.
