Reincarnation Monarch
Lesson 344: Ants
"Well... so what do you do after this?
When Elle realized there was no new information about the Thousand Years Dragon, he asked about Gaius' future.
"I don't know... it's the way it's always been."
"The memories must have come back to light? Then you want to do this with that memory, don't you want that one?
"Uh-huh, though I'm back, it's falling out by the way, and the end of each life that should be called the pivotal last scene is all blurred out, isn't it? So I don't know... you know, it feels like it's my life and not mine... well, in short, it feels like I've seen a good movie that makes someone else's life a story."
"... I'm not sure that Eiga... is someone else's story..."
"Yeah. It's just..."
"... what's up?
"No, actually... the only thing I remember is life in this world, and I can't remember life in that world at all"
"... uh-huh. That's strange... you only have the knowledge in the world over there in the first place, right? Is that... just a generation of memories?
"... So you're saying that your life in that world isn't a one-time thing, either?
"Mm-hmm. Just one life ago. It's hard to think about the world over there. So when you finish your life over here, you reincarnate over there, and when you finish your life over there, you reincarnate over here.
"I guess so. I've been trying to connect every life in my memory for a while now, and I don't care what you think, it's open between us."
"How long has it been?
"Sort of a general feeling... about fifty years."
"Again... you mean you keep reincarnating the world over here and over there every fifty years..."
"Probably..."
"What the hell does that mean... Why does Master Lucifer do that..."
"... probably doesn't mean a lot there?
"Doesn't make sense?... What does that mean?
"... Probably, but isn't it just a spare time? I regret it but Lucifer's power is mighty. Just so we're clear, me and Elle would be no different than an ant crawling through the ground if it came from him. Though I was somewhat intrigued and intrigued because I speak the most unlike ants, I guess what I'm saying is just about free time?
"... are we equal to ants..."
Elle shrugged as she drooped her head and whispered in a heartfelt loneliness.
Gaius looked at the side of El like that and thought softly in his chest.
(... so far... right)
