「Originally, it was meant to be some sort of message for other reincarnators. I wanted to tell them I have my previous life’s memories too. Well, that plan ended up for naught when the people easily accepted the fact that Hero-sama was someone summoned from another world.」
「…. And what were you aiming for with that message? I mean, your targets are those who died in that traffic accident, right? 」
「Let see, it’s because there was something that I wanted to talk about upon meeting someone in a similar situation as me. To talk about our life back on earth…. Even if it was just for a little bit. Because I knew that out there, there were people who had memories of their previous life. Just like me. Some might think that there were a few loose screws in my head with all of the talk about my memories. And even if I wasn’t regarded as a strange girl, my message might reach the person I was aiming for. I have to say that this plan was risky indeed.」
Liselotte explained with a shy look on her face, looking out of the window towards the sky. In short, she was just lonely. But, Rio could understand her feelings. How anxious and lonely she must be in a brand new world all alone. Because he felt the same in the beginning.
「I see, so that’s your aim….」
So, Rio could only offer her a sympathetic smile.
「That’s why… if it’s okay with you, how about we talk about our previous life? There’s a ton of things I’d like to speak about.」
Liselotte’s goal in building her firm had been achieved. That’s why, now she wished to talk about their past life and reminisce together.
「I understand. If you’re okay with me.」
Rio readily accepted her request. A while later, little by little, they started to ramble incoherently about their previous life together. Things like Haruto’s major back in university or the part-time job he took. Meanwhile, Rikka talked about her entering the student council, a club, what she likes, and her hobbies. She also spoke about the fact she had observed Haruto, who happened to be in the same bus as her, moments before the traffic incident happened.
「I used to notice that Amakawa-sempai was always looking at the scenery outside of the bus window whenever you rode it, was I right? At that time, I kept on wondering what interested you so much… Could you tell me?」
And as their conversation went on, it reached the point where Liselotte warmly called him Amakawa-senpai.
「So, you noticed it, huh. Well, I think I wasn’t looking at anything in particular. It was just my way to pass time as I had nothing better to do.」
「Fufufu, so that was the case.」
Chuckling, Liselotte readily accepted his statement without a doubt.
「Come to think of it, there was a grade school girl who rode the bus along with us at the time of that incident. If my memories serve me right, there were only the three of us on the bust at that time, but…」
The topic suddenly changed to Latifa’s previous life―― Endou Suzune.
「……. Yes. She was there with us.」
Rio replied after a slight pause as if reminiscing about those memories.
「I wanted to have a chat with her too someday.」
At this moment… Liselotte, who was talking about her previous life, looked more innocent than usual.
「… The truth is, that child also reincarnated in this world.」
Rio decided to tell Liselotte the truth.
「Is that true？」
The light in Liselotte’s eyes shone even brighter when she heard that.
「Yes. After a somewhat unique encounter with her, I realized she had the memories of her previous life too… Though she lives far away right now. It’s not an easy matter either to go and see her, maybe I’ll go visit her sometime soon. Naturally If she wishes for it, I’ll bring her to meet you next time, Liselotte-sama.」
As for the matter of bringing Latifa out from the Spirit’s Folks Village… Well, though there were various issues surrounding that, it wouldn’t be impossible as long as she wished for it. However, that was a matter for the future.
「Yes, it’s a promise.」
Liselotte responded with a bright smile; one that was directed at Rio.
「Acknowledged.」
Rio readily gave his promise to Liselotte and lightly smiled at her, then――、
「Come to think of it, Liselotte-sama, do you still have some time to spare after this? 」
He suddenly inquired about Liselotte’s schedule.
「Yes. Since today is my day off….」
Although she was slightly confused, Liselotte still answered positively.
「In that case, how about having lunch with me? Though, it would mostly be my home-cooked dishes, at least it’ll have some of the nostalgic taste that you missed so much」
Rio invited Liselotte for lunch.
「The taste that I……. missed so much, is it?」
Liselotte’s eyes blinked repeatedly, seemingly really intrigued by those words.
「Yes. You can have some expectation on what will be served. Since this lunch is completely out of my original plan, please allow me to prepare Aria-san’s share too.」
「…. My deepest gratitude. Well, may I trouble you to prepare it? 」
With that, Rio decided to have lunch together with Liselotte and Aria. Fortunately, it didn’t take too long before Rio was able to start the lunch preparation. Meanwhile, Liselotte went to visit Aria in the waiting room.
「So, we were invited to have lunch with Haruto-sama. And he had also invited you to participate since he said he can cook dishes with rare and delicious ingredients. 」
Liselotte told Aria.
「That will be an honor.」
Aria answered, smiling delightfully. Then, she looked at the tea and sweets that Rio prepared, heart filled with anticipation.
This reminds me… it seems I was too impatient when I ate all the sweets… But, no. It would be rude of me to leave behind the tasty tea and sweets he had prepared. Anyway, it shouldn’t become a problem as long as I increase today’s training portion.
