Reincarnation Monarch

"So, do you remember which way the guy went?

Asked Asio in momentum.

Then a man spun his body half a turn.

"I went inside this shop."

The man himself pointed to the liquor store he had just come out of.

"Inside this store? You came out of this store earlier, didn't you?

The man nodded quietly.

"Oh, yes, I am."

"So, Comet... the man is inside this store now, isn't he?

Then the man tilted his neck.

"Come on? What do you think?

Now it was Asio's turn to tilt his neck.

"... No, I don't know..."

When Azio said that with a suspicious face, a man began to explain.

"I was in that shop the first time."

The man pointed far away.

When Asio and the others saw its fingertips, there was something there that looked like another tavern.

"... oh, in that tavern..."

"Yes, and I saw the man walking in on his way to change the store."

"I see... so what was the man like in the store?

Asked Asio, the man shrugged his shoulder.

"Come on? I saw you go in there, but I didn't see you in the store."

Asio inquired in surprise and momentum.

"What!? What do you mean? 'Cause you walked into the store, didn't you?

Then the man shook his head vertically.

"Yes, I am."

"Then you'd bowl it together, wouldn't you?

The man now shook his head to the side.

"I won't."

Azio cramped his cheeks.

"... No, that's not true, is it?

Then a man laughed niggly.

"That's why I'm here."

Asio suppressed his inner laziness and asked calmly.

"... how the hell is that? ……

Then the man smiled nicely.

"It's a simple story. Take a good look at this shop."

The men told me that the Azios once again looked at the exterior of the store.

Then Shester leaked a bitter laugh.

"I see. So this is a two-story shop?"

The man smiled with a broken face.

"Exactly. Maybe he went upstairs? I was drinking at the counter upstairs. That's why I haven't seen him in his shop."

Azio finally nodded as he cramped his cheeks.

"... Oh, you know... does that mean that Comet is still upstairs in that store..."

Then the man leaned his neck once again.

"Come on? I don't know about that."

Asio just stuck his cheeks on this.

"No, no, you've been drinking at the counter, haven't you? Isn't the counter right next to the door? Doesn't that mean that when Comet leaves the store, you'll always see him?"

The man laughed niggly again.

"But you're not. 'Cause I said I was drinking at the counter, and you haven't said a word in forever."
