Reincarnation Monarch

Episode One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-Four: Irregularity

"... not the enemy... or..."

Augloss told me to bite it off.

Carla asked, turning off her expression like Nobu.

"There seems to be something wrong with Lucifer?

Though Augrus had often silently looked into Carla's eyes, he opened his heavy mouth when he gently leaked a bitter smile.

"Right. A lot of things... yes, I'm sure there are a lot of things."

"How can you tell me that?

Augrus shook his neck slowly to the side.

"It's not a very pleasant story, so... more than that... why didn't you think we were enemies? I know it's illegal to ask, even though I haven't answered..."

Carla shook her head to the side.

"No, I don't mind. But... it's not something I can explain well..."

"Well, then it's still just like an idea, isn't it?

Carla nodded, answering.

"Right. It's not just certain."

"Well, then it's no use asking, is it?

"Each other."

When Carla laughed niggardly, Augrus also quickened up the corner of his mouth.

"Right. So, is there anything else you'd like to hear?

"Right. Returning to earlier, I'd like to ask you something about the world over there, but is there anyone outside of you who might be able to speak properly in Gaius?

Augrus nodded after much thought.

"... you're here. There's one person in there who seems to have knowledge."

"Can we summon that person?

Augrus shook his head sideways.

"No, because I am not the current ruler of this flesh."

"Well, then we have to let Gaius call it in. What's his name?

Augrus answered Carla's question instantly.

"Zira."

"Zira? Are you a woman?

"Seems so."

"Hmmm... reincarnation can change your gender too... ok, ok. Thanks."

"No, I don't mind. Call me back anytime."

When Augrus said so, he smiled quietly and closed his eyes.

Then, after a while, I heard my usual cheerful voice.

"... whoa, you're back all of a sudden"

Gaius said so, peeking into Carla's face.

Carla sighed lightly at the very difference from Augloss.

"... okay. Gaius, I need you to call Gila. I guess he was watching inside, huh?

To Carla's question, Gaius shrugged his shoulder and nodded.

"Sort of. You just didn't think there was a woman though...... I mean, is she the one you can call even the first time?

When Gaius said so, he shrugged his shoulders and peered into Carla's face.
