Mr. Rash said that he wanted to summarize the results of the research, so he opened the meeting. I was very worried because Maki-chan told me that she would go along with it...
"Don't worry, I'll come with you." Don't worry, I'll let you rest when you're properly present "
With a smile on his face, Dr. Ludo said that, so there seems to be no problem. The doctor's smile is horrible. Maki-san was trembling after seeing something. "Yeah, I know how you feel, but rest properly..."
That's why my father and I are still in the room a little bit. After all, the topic is about dreams. I told him the story because he was so fussy about it. If you have any questions, just say so.
Looking at me smiling, my father looked down with his half-eyed eyes as if he was staring at me, but he asked me honestly whether I had noticed it.
"What kind of dream did you have?"
"... it's a dream the day I was born." My mom was in bed, and my dad came. "
"Oh... I miss that day."
Father narrows his eyes as he remembers the time. It's really a long time ago, more than 300 years ago.
However, I laughed that I could remember such memories forever.
"Did you miss your mother?"
Can't you just listen to me? I thought it would be better to ask now.
Only in my dreams did I see my mother, so I envy her. If you want to see me, Maki-chan will help you again, but I'd like to see you again. I don't think I'll be able to do it anytime soon, so I need to work harder.
Daddy smiles and puts his hand on my head, blocking my words when I talk to him like that.
"No, you've already let me see you." I don't look the same.
Well, in my dad's life, the reunion with Maki-chan is already a reunion with my mom. It's the same soul, isn't it?
"I've always wanted to see you. But someday, in the other world. I didn't expect that to happen while I was still alive. It was a much earlier reunion than planned.
Sounds like it's complicated. I hear a lot about seeing you in the other world, but if you're ever born again, you'll think that you'll never see me in the other world.
Death may seem like a new beginning, not a goal. It's okay, it's bad. It certainly gets complicated.
"... you're really reborn." I already knew that because there was an example of Meg. "
I returned a nod to my father, who muttered with a smudge. I knew it, but if a familiar being appeared as a rebirth. I have to convince you.
But when I think about it, I'm a little nervous.
"... hey, Dad, don't you think this is beyond what we can possibly know?"
Don't say that. I thought so too.
Right! After all, it's no longer God's domain to talk about human life and death? Is it good for the living in this world to know? At a time when I'm in this world with memories of my previous life, I feel like I have a lot of problems.
"It's hard to say that you can proceed with your research..."
"God might be mad at me..."
Nevertheless, would you agree with them that this research has come this far? No, I won't. I don't want to. If I forbid it, I might be able to sneak forward.
My dad was there, and he sighed trying to use contract magic so that he would never divulge information to the outside world. That's the only way, but I'm worried because it's a scary sorcery that gets punished if it's leaked outside. Still, instead of being able to study it, I'm going to shake my neck vertically.
First of all, I was wondering if there was a god.
Huh? You're here, right?
"Hmm?"
When I answered your mumbling with my eyes wide open, your father also looked at me with his eyes wide open. Did I say something strange?
"Do you believe in the existence of God?" No, I don't believe it either, but I can't guarantee it until it exists. "
"It's the same with me, but... is that it?" For some reason, I definitely didn't suspect that there was a god at the moment. "
I thought people's thoughts and desires were creating the existence of God, but why? There's definitely something like that now. Since when?
"Maybe it's because the high elf investigated the story that he was originally a god." Maybe it's because I've read something like the myth of the world. That was a long time ago, though. "
"Ah, that's possible." The book of the high elves will be highly truthful. "
Probably because of that influence, I subconsciously assumed that there was a god in the world. No, it might be true. I don't know what I've never seen before.
"... your mother's soul is attracted to this world after all."
"I see. Well, we have a close relationship." I don't know, I don't know. "
I feel like I've done something wrong, but when I say that, I'm not the first father to come to this world because I want to. Hmm, complicated.
But I'm sure your mother won't be angry at such a time. I don't know if you can help me. I don't know much about your mother, but I feel that way.
It looks like the people who have come to this world are attracting things from other worlds after all.
"I know it's attractive, but I don't know what's the first thing." It's possible that things are the first thing, people are attracted to them afterwards, and it's a repetition. "
Well, I'm starting to wonder whether the chicken or the egg comes first. I don't know the first time now. Besides, now that I know what happened first.... the researchers must be different, Rash.
"Maybe the two worlds are connected somewhere." Like Maki-chan, there may be more people born with Japanese souls, even if they don't realize it. That's why the lost things are all over the country. "
"There may still be more on the human continent." I just haven't been able to find it. "
"Even if I found it, I can't help thinking it's a piece of crap that I don't really understand from this person." No one would be as concerned as Maki-chan to collect it. "
There are a lot of "possibilities". Rash and the others seem happy that there's still a lot to investigate. Don't you think it's scary to know too deeply?... I don't think so, right?
I think it would be nice to have some other research material, but it seems like it could be entrusted to someone else. That's what people do here.
Ah! That's right!
Hmmm?
When I think about it, I remember it with happiness. I've always wondered in the dungeons!
Raising one eyebrow, I looked up at my father and told him what I remembered.
I wanted to know why the monsters in the dungeon have no ego, and why they sometimes sprout.
The monsters in the dungeon were like clumps of magic power, and they didn't seem to have any substance. I was curious if there was only an instinct level.
But when I saw how the Demon King's intimidation worked, or how the dragon was on the verge of disappearing, I thought there was something like a will.
That doesn't mean I can defeat the monsters. Because I want to know.
"Ahh, it's not Rash's specialty." But there's somebody out there who wants to check it out. "
My father told me that I would tell you next time, so I decided to ask for your indulgence. Surprisingly, I may also like this kind of research. I'm just getting a little excited.
Well, we can't keep talking about it here. It's your father's precious holiday, and I had a dream too, so I took it easy just in case.
When I said that, my dad bitterly said that it was not a precious holiday. Is that it?
"I've been taking a lot of time off lately." I've been working too hard for a long time. "
"Speaking of which, Saura-san also said that..." But it's unusual, isn't it? There's always more to do than that - I'd rather go to work. "
You're a worker holic who doesn't feel comfortable unless you're working. As for my daughter, it would be safer to take a rest, but on the contrary, it is a contradiction that I am worried.
"Well, I still think so." But the Orthus guys are reliable, right? I'm growing up backwards, and I want to leave it to you more and more. Come on, I'm old, too. "
Age. You're still active, right?
"Come on, it's time to let me rest, it's tough."
The two of them laughed together and left the room, leaving there to go to their rooms.
It was a pleasure talking to your father for a long time. "But I can't believe you're old enough to think about yourself..."
"Ah, are you...?"
Having thought about it, I unexpectedly stop there. I didn't notice it because I didn't change my appearance, but my father was actually quite old...?
I remember before I decided to investigate humans on the continent. Exactly when I met my dad at Orthos' cafe, where I came up with the idea of scouting.
"Father, you look very tired..." Are you okay? Are you impatient?
Ahh, I'm so tired.
When I think of it now, it is strange.
I can't believe your father is "tired".
I often say that I was mentally tired or exhausted from hard work, but my father was tired from seeing.
I didn't care because I saw it so often when I was in Japan, but I came to this world and it happened...?
Your heart is making an unpleasant sound.
Lifespan.
When I thought of the word, my anxiety burst out. I immediately remembered my father's face in the Demon King Castle.
The face of your father and the face of your father who is sharing his soul.
