“I-It’ll be fine! It’s just that you’ve been in another world for a while and died.”

“That’s the problem! Ahhh, seriously …… I was planning to tell no one and take it to my grave ……”

“Hahaha, don’t die until you kill me, okay?”

“Shut up! You perverted bespectacled doctor!”

“Pervert, he said, that fits you perfectly, Retzel.”

“Reiss, I’ll hit you, you know? Anyway, I don’t think I’ve seen him really angry since that time?”

I think it’s only natural that Irumi would explain it calmly. 

It’s true that I’m using my memories to do various things, but I’m still Lars Irving, the child of Dad and Mom. I’m sure they’ll think I’m weird after hearing that I’m actually a reincarnated person and have my memories as well.

And I don’t know how I’m supposed to look at them when I hear that–

“……”

“Where are you going?”

I avoided the road to the house and walked to another road, where I was approached by a neatly dressed Lilith.

“I’m going to Urka’s place …… Even if I say, Lilith doesn’t know who he is. I’m going to my friend’s place and then I’m going straight to the Orpha Country.”

“We’ll go with you and Sarge-kun isn’t here, so we’ll take a carriage, okay? At any rate, we’ll have to go back to the house to get the carriage anyway, won’t we?”

“Who do you think is making it difficult for me to go home? Oh, that’s right, why don’t I just rent a carriage from the castle.”

“I think it would be better for you to go home, though?”

“…… irresponsible.”

As I stopped on the side of the road, squinting at Retzel, Himmel-san gave me a troubled look.

“Well, I’m sorry to say this while you’re angry, but I’m with Retzel on this one.”

“Himmel-san, you too!? I’m the one who feels awkward, you know!?”

“Now, now, of course I understand what you mean, Lars-kun. But, you can’t just stop seeing each other forever, right? Why don’t you try talking to them?”

“……”

“I agree with big brother. Isn’t there a reason why you told them without hiding anything, Regal?”

It is true that there’s no option of not seeing each other anymore.

I want to invite them to my wedding, and if I want to see Aina and the others, I have to go home. But I just can’t make up my mind …… it’s not that I don’t mind being abandoned like my parents in my previous life.

–Words of rejection.

I was afraid to hear that from my current parents.

Then Basleigh-sensei, who seems to have been replaced by Regal and has a different tone of voice, begins to speak.

“…… I’m certainly sorry that I spoke about it before asking your permission, Lars-kun. Isshishi …… but I am sure that there will come a time in the future when you will be able to make full use of the knowledge that you have within you. I have decided that this confusing time is better than being stuffed at that time. I’ll take the blame. I don’t mind if you boil me or roast me …… but you have to do something now, right?”

“…….”

I felt my resentful heart calm down as Regal’s words admonished me, so I took a deep breath and replied.

“Yeah, I guess so. But I wanted to keep it hidden if possible. Because you’ll think it’s disgusting, right, you’ll think that the child who was born was from somewhere else.”

“Well, I guess that’s just the way it is, isn’t it? I’m a creepy pervert who never dies, right?’

“Haha, no doubt. Lars, isn’t it fine that you feel a little special …… Makina and Ryuuze, and the others will accept you. And, of course, your parents too.”

Retzel suddenly lowered his shoulders, and Reiss teases him with an unpleasant smile. 

My eyes widen and looked at them both, and then blew it out.

“What’s that, I’m not as twisted as Retzel. And, yeah …….”

It’s my parents, brother, and Makina, and the others we’re talking about, I’m sure they’ll understand.

“Well, we’ll be waiting for you at Retzel’s house, so give us a call when you’re done.”

“All right, Himmel-san. I’ll call on you after I pick up Urka.”

As I watched Himmel-san and the others walk off into the other street, Basleigh-sensei, who had been silent, huffed and held her mouth.

“……. Regal told you that you can boil her or roast me, but if you do that, isn’t it my body that will suffer the most ……!?”

“Oh, you noticed that, Isshishishishi ……”

“Rejected!? Rejected! Ahhhhhhhhhh, don’t pull me, big brother!? If Lars-kun continues to have a falling out with his parents, he will kill me ……!”

I let out a sigh and chuckle as the fussing Basleigh-sensei becomes more distant. I don’t know whether it’s better or worse that we meet. 

I walked straight to my house, and as I put my hand on the front door, I took another deep breath and walked into the house.

“…… I’m home!”

As I walked into the living room, my mom and dad noticed me and turned to look at me.

“Welcome home, Lars!”

“Welcome back, how was Dragon Island? How was the dragon island? Were there a lot that looked like Sarge in there?”

“What? Ah, yeah, I did. They attacked us out of nowhere, but we managed to beat them.”

“That’s right, as expected of Lars and Makina-chan!”

H-Hmmm?

They heard about it from Basleigh-sensei, right? …… They’re the same as usual, though ……? I was thinking–

“You’re my pride and joy, Dedite and Aina too.”

“Yes, even if you’re from a different world, you’re Lars! You’re the baby I had, and you didn’t tell us about it for a long time, but don’t worry about it, okay? I mean, you’ve grown so big, it’s hard to even pat your head.”

“Mom ……”

She put her hand on my head and smiled, then hugged me and patted me lightly on the back, Dad also put his hand on my shoulder and smiled showing his teeth.

“Minister Basleigh …… No, I was surprised when Regal told me about your skill and your previous life. I heard it was hard. And when you were born, you’re poor …… Haha, no, I’m sorry about that. In the end, you’re the reason I’m back in this position.”

“That’s not …… true …… I was really happy to be born to my mom and dad …… I didn’t care if we were poor. Money comes later, but kind parents …… are something you might never have …… That’s why I’m happy.”

“We are too …… Oh, you’re crying, that’s unusual.”

“I’m not crying, it’s just sweat …… Haha.”

“Don’t act tough, you little bastard!”

I wiped my face and tried my best to keep up appearances.

My Dad laughed and stroked my hair, and my Mom hugged me for a while and wouldn’t let me go.

–Regal hadn’t told her how old I was when I died, but she snickered and laughed, saying that reincarnation doesn’t change the fact that she was my birth mother.

I was gushing over the fact that she was proud of the fact that she had given birth to a precious child, rather than being disgusted by it.

…… Sixteen years after my previous life, I thought …… maybe I’m really walking into my second life.

Okay, then I’ll use my knowledge and power for the good of everyone!
