"... how do you know?... How do you know how many reincarnates there are? ……
"I told you. I've been studying you reincarnators for years."
"... is that why you know? There's a clear number of people...... no, you can't tell! You're just saying the right thing!
"That's not a good decision. Because I'm telling the truth."
"... then explain. How do we know the exact number of reincarnates?
'Cause I asked someone.
"... who's that?
To Gaius's serious question, Menontius said as if to tease him.
"Guess who?
"Don't wear it! Say it quickly!"
"Well don't panic. You say you don't get a lot of panicking beggars?
"I'm not a beggar. Don't worry about that. Just say it. Or is that it? You're thinking about who's gonna do what you said. You're trying to piss me off to buy that time!?"
Menontius smiled at Gaius's thoughts like that.
"That's not true. Fine. Let me tell you something."
"Oh, why don't you tell me. Who the hell said that?
"Iris. A pillar of the gods living in heaven. I once heard it directly from that Illis."
When Menontius said so, he often peered into Gaius' face with his face.
