Chapter 6 (2/2)
That's why, polite language has became a part of me, a part from my previous life.
At the first time I spoke, I was too nervous, so I used polite tune accidentally. Elise must have thought so too. That's why, if she said “coming back”, she must understand something she shouldn't know.
That means... maybe Elise is...
“Elise... are you...”
“Hmm, it's just as what you think. I will explain everything later. So let's go into the bath for now? O-ni-i-cha-n?”
As I thought... she expected me to realize when she said that...
I had lost my parents before I became a middle school student. That was a few years earlier. So they can't be reincarnated with me. That's impossible.
But, since reincarnating itself is something impossible happened, then maybe that was possible, but the chance is low.
Other people who know that I speak polite language are... my uncles, I had a few number of friends from primary school, but after my parents died, I had to move away, and all connections was lost. I couldn't even remember their name, and it should be the same to them.
So, the possibility left is either my uncles, or my sister, Airi.
And, the speaking style like that of Elise... and above all, this cheerful personality... there can be only one person...
“Airi... is that you...?”
“Hmm... Still, let's go into the bath for now. I will explain all to you later.”
“Okay... I got it.”
So it's Airi...after all...
Aah... such nostalgic... Seeing you again, I'm truly happy...
Still, why are you here in this world?
She said she would explain to me later, let's wait patiently for now...
“Ehmm... Where should I start... Maybe, from the reason of your death?”
“Maybe, my neck snapped.”
“Onee-chan, you are using polite tune again. Eh...? So your neck snapped...”
...Eh, what?
“Airi, did you... did you saw it when I died?”
“Yeah, I think so. But I think I died at the same time as you.”
“Eh?! What happened!?”
Even though all the time pa.s.sed, I still felt frightened talking about this topic.
“On the way home from school, I saw you was stuck to the ground on the park other side of the road... I wanted to save you, but I was ran over by a huge truck drove by a sleeping driver. And then my consciousness faded away. When I woke up again, I'm Elise in this world.
I never thought My . Older . Sister would be onii-chan at that moment though. How unexpected. Well, our time of dying and reincarnating to this world is nothing unexpected though~ ”
…..Wait...a little......
That was, because of my fault, Airi...
“A.....Airi..... Because of...me... you ….are..?”
I could feel that tears are blurring my eyes.
Only if I hadn't had that stupid thought, only if I had not wanted to chase after that rabbit...
Me, and Airi too, maybe we would not have dead, maybe, we would be still living peacefully...
---So---not only me was reincarnated---the reason for Airi's death was-----
---All my fault---
“Ugh....aah....”
What to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do
Because of me, because of...me....
“....O - ne - e - cha - n.......?”
*startled*
When I sensed the angry is Airi's voice, I feel a bit frightened.
The guilt of doing something that can't be undone captured my whole body.
I couldn't think anymore, just waiting for Airi's punishment.
In front of me, Airi opened her lips.
“Elise . Is . Angry . Alice . Onee-Chan?”
“~~~!!!”
I doubted my ears.
That way of speaking, that just like she didn't mind what I did in the previous life, also, taking it into our current life is also prohibited.
Airi, no, Elise, she is saying that she forgave me.
“I'm sor...”
“No, not that.”
“...yeah... that's right....
Thank - You - , And -, Good - Bye -, Airi.”
…..The chime that ended the past life.....
…..Also, the chime of beginning of this life......
It felt like the chime welcoming a new year.
It felt like my late first crying after being born into this world, from my past world.
“Please take care of me from now, Elise.”
“Hmm, please take care of me, Alice onee-chan.”
From this moment, we became sisters.
“Anyway, why are you hugging me, Elise?”
“Of course that's because you are cute!
My~ you were smaller than me in the past world, that was cute enough, but you are even cuter now. To the point that I'm worrying about pus.h.i.+ng you down~”
“What was that about pus.h.i.+ng part! What will you push down?!”
“Thinking about it, there is no need for you to change your tune anymore, is it? There is no more reason to change, and above all, you are a girl now, so how about returning to your old way of speaking?”
“Don't change the topic! And anyway, it's don't feel right not talking in polite tune, so I think I should return to it.”
“Just do so then.”
“Hmm, that's right. This feels more comfortable. I has always been talking like this anyway.”
“Yeah yeah! Like that! Onee-chan is cuter this way!”
“What's with this complex emotion...”
…hm?... Didn't I forget something....
Well, isn't that fine? The fact that I forgot it must means that it's not important.
“Anyway, onee-chan.”
“What is it?”
“How about we get out? I'm cold.”
“...That's right...”
And so, my first time taking a bath in this world turned from surprise, to surprise, and then surprise again. Finally I returned while giving up after being too shocked.
In the end, we couldn't take time to talk properly...
Still, finally, today, I can cut all my ties with previous world.
And from now, living in this world completely.
----The time come, and went----
----Now, the time of two young girls, once more started----
*Omake (Note: This is the bonus part below the original chapter)
“By the way, Onee-chan, you didn't realize I was Airi?”
“Yes, I did think that the atmosphere was similar, but I couldn't bring myself to believe...”
“Well yeah~ that's expected. By the way I realized that was you since our first family meeting.”
“Eh? Isn't that 3 months from now? Why didn't you say anything?!”
“It's more interesting that way!”
“..... I have to punish you...”
“Eh... Wait! Stop ~ don't raise your strength to max level! I'm sor-- Wait!~ Gyaaaaaaaa~~~~”
“Fufufufu....”
