Reincarnation Monarch
Episode One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven: The Spiritual Animal Room
The morgue was huge.
And in it were countless beds of various sizes arranged.
One line led the staff and walked again for a while through the gaps in that bed.
As we passed by, Ilis looked around with Kyolokiolo.
On the bed, which can be described as countless, were several, still supposedly corpses of various sizes, resting on white sheets.
"... certainly a lot fewer bodies than the number of beds"
To the twinkle of Illis, Leginos replied.
"Right. Most of them are natural deaths. Not many cases, accidents, etc."
"Then why are there so many beds? It would be too much for anything, wouldn't it?
Leginos also answered this question with no expression.
"It's for times of need."
"No?... Oh, you mean that"
Iris nodded with a convincing look.
And the line was also the feather to keep walking silently.
Then at the deepest end of the morgue, an official stopped.
And he pointed to the bed on the first floor and said,
This is your body.
When I told him that, the officials quietly lagged behind.
Then Leginos instead advanced to the front of that body.
And look at the faces of the Astalots alternately. Or I told you.
"Okay?
Astalot and Iris nodded silently.
Leginos confirmed their consent or gently pinched the sheets on the body with both hands.
And slowly turned that bright white sheet.
There, for Astalot and Illis, a very familiar figure slept with a serene look on his face.
"... Gaius..."
I said, trying desperately to squeeze my voice out with the look of Astalot being incredible.
Then, the Illis beside him was similarly sitting with a disquieting look.
Astalot thrilled once.
And once again, he called the name of his beloved friend.
"... Gaius..."
But an ancient friend of Astalot never answered the call.
Astalot closed his eyelids in such a way that he could not accept reality.
Then Illis, who had seemed to have been taken aback until then, moved forward a step.
And he gently attached his right hand to Gaius's cheek, blued with a sleeping expression.
