Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 470: Good listener.
"... the realm of God... Speaking of which, you were definitely a man of God's family, weren't you? ……
Elle nodded slowly to Ortez's question.
"Hmm. Bye."
"So does that Gaius do, too?
"... Uh-huh... not that he's a family member of God... no, as I said earlier..."
That Ortez waited with his right palm pointed at Elle where Elle tried to stab Ortez with a nail in his face that seemed troublesome.
"Just give me a minute. Gaius is Lombardo's son, isn't he? Then I know that Lombardo is the same, but Lombardo says he's a normal person. That's crazy."
"You're creepy until just now. You scared me a little..."
"It's more creepy not knowing what that means."
"... Hmm. I don't know if you've spoken too much... I don't know if you're easy to talk to... I don't know if you're a good listener or if you let your mouth slip..."
"... you're not going to erase my memory again, are you?
"... uh-huh. Trouble......"
When Elle said so, he conceived a short forefoot cleverly in front of his chest.
"... All right. Let me just tell you a little bit. Except! The Lombards think Gaius is a normal person. So you're never gonna say this, are you?
"... ok. Tell me."
"Hmm. He's... he's a reincarnator."
"... reincarnated?... I've heard that before... but even if I die, I'll be reborn soon... Nemez, who was my best friend, told me before as a rumor."
"... uh-huh. I'm not mistaken... it doesn't exactly mean you'll be reborn in this world any time soon."
"... what do you mean?
"If you die, you'll be reborn in the world."
"... you mean heaven?
"No, no. It's not heaven, it's not hell. I've never been there, but I'm referring to a completely different world."
"... I can't imagine at all..."
"I guess so. Anyway, there's a different world than this, and that's where we're gonna be reborn. And when you finish raw in the afterlife, you'll be reborn here again. It's the reborn who keep doing it."
"... Didn't you just say" we "in plural?... So that means there are others, not just Gaius?
"Oh, come on. Earlier, I might have called him special, but that's because he's special among the reborns."
"... why is such an amazing guy Lombardo's son?
"... Hmm. I don't know why. But in this world, as Lombardo's son, he was born in this world."
"Are you... keeping an eye on Gaius?
"... no, not otherwise. Until I met him... but thanks to him, I'll have fun inside."
And when Elle said so, he tilted his neck, and gave him a whispered face.
