CH 40

"Rid, what's wrong ?"

I was in my room at the mansion, trying out the spell I had learned the other day.

"Memory," a spell I had created to recall memories from my previous life.

To use it, I call out "memory" in my mind and it responds to me.

Then, when information is given, Memory will search for the appropriate memory from my past life's memories.

Incidentally, when I am in a state where I can talk to Memory, magic power is expended every certain amount of time.

When I understood how it works, I thought it was just like the old cell phone charges.

And now I feel the memory is pissed at me.

Why is memory's angry voice echoing in my head?

It was the memory I had asked for just a moment ago.

It was the memories of " Tokirella!

In fact, in my previous life, I had played only the free mode, which was an extra mode , so I had not played the main story that much to memorize it.

At best, I only remembered the names of the main characters in the main story.

I don't even remember their last names.

However, since this was a Cinderella story, all the characters were supposed to be members of nobles families from various countries.

I believe that the royal family of Magnolia and the royal family of Renalute, where I was planing visiting next time, were also among the targets.

As I recall, the prince's name was "Lacis".　

In the game, he was a versatile character, and I think he was quite easy to use once he was trained.

This is what I remembered about him that comes with character development.

However, I don't really remember the main storyline in which he is the main character.

Incidentally, I actually had an idea as to why I don't remember it.

But I didn't dare to tell it that, and as a result, memory got angry with me.

"Well, but you said Memory could gather information, didn't you?"

I responded with a bland look on my face. Of course"

"......Rid, you do know what you're talking about, don't you?

"It's still a tough . ......"

I was filled with a sense of disappointment.

It was indeed very harsh.

“I'm sure it's obvious. You've been spending most of your time skimming through the main story of the game , and even if you go back to your memory, the information you've got is in rags and tattered paper scraps. It is indeed impossible to pull out this kind of information ."

That's right.

In my previous life, "Tokirella! was all completed, but the main story became troublesome after a little while, so I put with unread text skipping [ON].

By the way, to briefly explain the unread skip text function, Otome games and gal games have a variety of targets to capture.

Therefore, it is a prerequisite to play through the game many times.

However, until you enter the character's route, the same story is told to some extent.

Therefore, there is a function called "skip" that allows you to fast-forward through the story once you have read it.

However, the default setting is to disable unread skip so that you do not skip over stories that you have not read.

this function is called "Skip Unread text ]".

With this function , you can skip any text , whether you have already read it or not.

In other words, you can get to the next stage immediately.

In my previous life, when I was playing "Tokirella! , I almost always skipped over unread text in the middle.

I had no idea that I would get hit with such a blowback.

But why did I remember Rid?　

It was because, after using him in free mode, I wondered what position this character had in the story.

I suddenly became curious and looked up that character on the Internet, on forums sites and whatnot.

I laughed at the time at the unfavorable treatment of him in the main story, but I can't laugh now.

'Hmmm. Then can I take this opportunity to ask you to tell me about the memories Memory can you look up?"

This was the first time I requested a memory from Memory. I am sure I will be relying on memory more often in the future.

Then it would be better to check what and how far it can work .

"I understood, ......, I won't tell you the details though ".

Memory's voice echoed in my head. And then the explanation began.

The conclusion was that the memory has everything that was seen and heard in the previous life.

However, memory can only bring out information that it has seen and heard vividly.

For example, I can pull up most of the videos I have watched on the Internet.

However, I cannot retrieve the details of my boss's complaints, ., which I had not consciously listened to.

In other words, how much I consciously saw and heard in my previous life.

is important.

If it is something I consciously saw or heard, I can retrieve it even if it is a memory from my childhood.

However, even after becoming an adult, I cannot retrieve info that I saw or heard without being conscious of it.

Also, it takes a lot of time to retrieve information whose memory is ambiguous.

"It is like trying to recover a single print from a large quantity of shredded paper scraps, right?　You would understand this analogy, wouldn't you?"

Memory also have my knowledge of my previous life to explain it to me.

That's why I call it the first "tattered scrap of paper state.

"Memory is like a filing, or like a shredder, like a scrap of paper. The filed memories are easy to retrieve, but the shredded memories are difficult to retrieve because they are hard to remember . Worst case scenario is that it's impossible?"

I asked, summarizing what I had heard from the memory in my own way.

" Well, I guess that's about it for now.　Either way, it's pretty hard to pull out the information you skipped during unread skips. It's not something I can do right away. If you ask me to do it, I'll do it, but I don't want you to get your hopes up. What do you think?"

"I see, it takes time, but it's not impossible."

Then, I would like to get some clues.

"Then, I know it's a lot of work, but can I ask you for a favor?"

"Yes, I understand ....... I'll try, but don't get your hopes up. Do you have any other memories for me to look for ?"

I thought about it and told her that for now I just wanted her to try to find that information this time.

Memory sighed and said, "I'll give it a try, but don't get your hopes up, okay? "The last time I heard her voice, I couldn't hear it anymore.

“Good luck,"

I muttered in my mind,

"Brother, what are you doing?"

As soon as I muttered , the voice I suddenly heard startled me and I looked at the door of the room.

There was Mel, with her hand on the doorknob and a dubious look on her face.

“I kept hearing you talking outside the room."

She seemed talking aloud Memory.

With a troubled look on my face, I asked Mel to keep it a secret.

Or rather, I feel that I am often asking her to keep a secrets .

"Okay, but will you read the book to me again?"

"Okay. ".

"yay , brother."

Mel smiled prettily when she heard my reply.

But why did she come into my room?

I was curious, so I asked her in a lighthearted way.

" I came to your room because I haven't been able to play with you lately. But when I looked in the door, I couldn't hear anything but voices, so I opened the door and looked in."

I see, so she called out to me because I was talking to myself all the time.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've read to Mel recently.

Looking at Mel's expression, she seemed a little sadder than usual.

Seeing her face, I decided to spend time with her today.

"Mel, do you want to play a lot with me today?"

" Yup .I love you ,brother!"

That day, I spent the whole day with Mel reading picture books.

And just like last time, I used too much my voice and my voice became rattled.

But Mel was very happy, so I was happy.

Let's work hard again tomorrow.

With that in mind, I enjoyed day with Mel.
