Chapter 217 About Simona, About the Previous Life
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
’Tomorrow, I have an important talk for everyone.’
After I told everyone that, we took turns showering and then called it a night. The succubus Doll said she was going back to the dungeon, but I asked her to stay and relax tonight. So, she stayed at the mansion.
”What’s with letting a monster stay over? What are you thinking…”
Even while grumbling like that, I enjoyed the bath and was pretty happy with the soft bed.

”So, you’re going to tell everyone about the reincarnation, right?”
In the big bedroom, I was with Kazumi, Rena, Liz, Martina, Dorothy, and Aluda when Rena spoke up.
”I’m planning to. Since Hiroya collapsed, I worried everyone. So… I want to at least explain ‘why that happened’.”
”I want to do that too. Plus──.”
”You don’t want to hide anything from ‘family,’ right?”
Liz smiled at me and Kazumi.
”Yeah. After I explain everything to everyone tomorrow── I plan to go home and explain it to my dad and mom too. …Well, it seems like my dad already knows.”
”I also want to tell my papa and mama that I have ‘memories from my past life’.”
Kazumi seems to have made up her mind too.
”And…”
She looked at me as she said that.
”I think if I tell them about my past life, papa and mama will accept my future with Hiroya.”
”Huh? Are they maybe against us?”
I thought at least Kazumi’s mom would be on board.
”No, no. Mama is supportive, and papa said, ‘Kazumi’s husband can only be Hiroya,’ you know?”
”Oh, then there’s no problem.”
Liz let out a relieved sigh.
”But you know, I still feel like they see it as just a childish crush. So, I need to make them understand properly. That it’s a ‘love from a past life’.”
Kazumi winked.
”I’m getting it now… I felt this sense of superiority knowing a secret that everyone else didn’t──it’s a bit disappointing, but…”
”But… it’s better if everyone knows about Hiro and Kazumi’s situation, right?”
”Yeah. Even we, who know why Mr. Hiroya collapsed, are this anxious, so those who don’t know must be…”
”Yeah. They must be even more worried.”
”I think so too. Especially, I couldn’t stand seeing Karina and Gièze’s worried faces.”
Martina, Aluda, Dorothy, Rena, and Liz seem to agree that we should tell everyone.
”And, Simona is being held by Hiroya, right?”
Liz grins.
”Oh! We need to ask about that too! Simona’s situation was tough!”
Kazumi grabs my arm and looks up at me.
* * *
”I see… so she felt responsible and left ‘Rose Hip’…”
Kazumi explained Simona’s situation to me. That’s why she was at the clan house, facing the attack with everyone.
”And she was holding Otto back, huh? I need to thank her…”
”So, what’s the deal? Did you make Simona your girl? Are you going to?”
It’s not a blaming tone, more like checking?
”Of course, I intended to show Ansgar to break the ‘charm’…”
I straighten up and explain to everyone.
”During that… I even said, ‘If you want to feel good, swear to be mine’ and stuff.”
When I say that, I glance at everyone… and they’re all blushing.
”You’re saying such a woman-killer thing again…”
”…I guess I have no choice but to swear…♡”
Liz and Dorothy look down but peek up at me.
”But it’s not about tricking anyone… I just felt a bit frustrated.”
””””””?””””””
”While holding her, I thought, ‘Oh, this girl who longed for and was starved for love, has been hurt and trampled by violence.’ So… that’s why…”
”She’s going to be yours, huh?”
Kazumi stares at me.
”Yeah. Sorry, everyone…”
”Hiroya… this is a big responsibility, you know?”
”Huh?”
”You have to take care of Simona’s heart from now on. With love… okay?”
Kazumi smiles as she says this.
”It’s gonna be tough, Hiroya. She’s complicated and her libido is off the charts.”
Liz laughs suggestively.
”Hiroya, you’re really kind… I love you…”
Rena whispers softly.
”I heard Ms. Simona is bis*xual… um… when we all ‘do it’ together… I’m looking forward to it, but… am I just being naughty…?”
Dorothy says, placing her hand on her lower belly, looking shy.
”I really like Sim-Sim. I’m so happy she’s becoming part of our family.”
Martina smiles.
”Ms. Simona is… well, she’s fine, I guess…”
Aluda hesitates to say something.
”What’s wrong?”
Kazumi asks, and Aluda starts to fidget and talk.
”Maybe… soon… Eluda and Meluda will confess to Hiro. So──.”
Aluda says this and looks at me.
”Please, take their feelings seriously, okay?”
From what I hear, back when I drank the Elf’s Secret Medicine and went wild… they saw me really going after Dorothy.
”Huh!? You saw that!?”
Dorothy suddenly turns bright red.
”And it was the most intense one I’ve ever felt…”
Dorothy looks down, probably out of embarrassment.
”Sorry, Doro-Doro. I think seeing that made things heat up. Especially for Eluda. She saw a bigger Hiro… Hiroya too.”
”Well, Eluda and Meluda were expected, right?”
Kazumi looks around at everyone, and they all nod in agreement.

After finishing the talk in the big bedroom and everyone dispersed, I had something to tell Kazumi, so I visited her room.
”As I said earlier… while I was sleeping… you know?”
Kazumi, sitting on the bed, stared at me as I started talking.
”I was syncing with my dad’s consciousness from my past life. Just like the day Kazumi and I… had that accident.”
Then I told Kazumi. My dad had the ability to see spirits and talk to them. He realized that our souls, mine and Kazumi’s, didn’t exist in this world. At my funeral, Kazumi’s husband was trying to claim damages from my dad, saying, ‘Kazumi and Hiroya were having an affair.’
”What an idiot!”
”No, he was getting his butt kicked by my dad. My dad, who knew how I felt, seemed to be investigating Kazumi.”
”Really!? I wonder what weird stuff he found out…”
”Don’t worry. He said, ‘What a lovely daughter she is.’ During that investigation──.”
I shifted in my chair.
”──he found out about her husband’s cheating. It was even before they got married.”
”I figured as much… but I don’t care. Well…”
Kazumi looked at me with slightly glimmering eyes.
”I was planning to be with Hiroya that night too. But it didn’t happen.”
Oh right, she did say something like that…
”My dad was apologizing. He said if he had known sooner, he would have brought Ms. Kazumi and me together in this life.”
”…He really was a good dad, wasn’t he?”
Kazumi smiled gently.
”Yeah. Just like you said when I first came to this world. Thanks to that, we were able to reconcile in the end. Thank you, Kazumi.”
”Yeah. I’m glad.”
Saying that, Kazumi came over and hugged my head tightly.
”I told him we’re having fun in this world. Knowing my dad, he probably told your parents too.”
”Oh, really? That makes me happy… I was worried that papa and mama were crying all the time.”
”And also…”
I talked about my mom’s ‘mysterious story.’
How she was a person from another world on a mission to ‘help heroes’ in various worlds. How she was a companion of my dad’s ‘adventure’ in her past life. That mission in that world was the last, so my dad married and had me. She didn’t die when I was in elementary school; she left for another world because an irregular mission came up. And then…
”Wait!? Ms. Megumi──could it be that Hiroya’s mom in this world is actually Hiroya’s mom from the original world!?”
”My past life dad said that.”
”TI see… she was part of the hero party. If that’s the case… I think it’s really wonderful. To be born by the same mom again.”
”So… tomorrow, when I go to talk about having memories from my past life… I think I’ll bring it up with my mom. I want to tell her about my past life dad too.”
Kazumi gently strokes my head.
”You know… we thought it was just a coincidence that we were reborn in ‘this world’ thanks to Rena, but… maybe Hiroya’s case was more like ‘destiny’ instead of just luck.”
”I’m not sure about that, though…”
”For the sake of our past life papa and mama, and Hiroya’s dad… we have to live happily in this world!”
With that, Kazumi kisses my cheek.
”Yeah. Let’s live happily and joyfully.”
I hug Kazumi and press my lips against hers.
