The house Kuon, our predecessor, will not recognize useless things.
If someone was judged that he isn’t necessary for the house, that person is deemed to be dead, and it gets buried.
And I am the man who was made to be a dead man under the brand name of being useless.
Aoba-san came to see me again and again after that.
Even before that, she was talking to me quite often.
『…That’s nostalgic』(Aoba)
For some reason, I didn’t dislike such words leaking out from her naturally.
It’s strange. When I saw Kuon’s family crest before, I was terribly upset.
However, right now, even though she is next to me, it’s the same as being a stakeholder in Kuon family, but I feel relieved.
『… Although you are still a bud, you got softer than before』(Aoba)
『Is that so……?』(Arge)
『Yes. You seem to be much more natural than how you used to be.
It seems that my feeling when I thought that 【If you aren’t here, you will bloom somewhere else】back in that world wasn’t a mistake』(Aoba)
『Certainly, I don’t think my soul suits in that world.
However, why is Aoba-san also reincarnated…?』(Arge)
『Easy thing.
I also didn’t match the soil and water of that world, that’s the only story』(Aoba)
『… At least, I didn’t see it like that』(Arge)
The condition to reincarnate is that the said person’s soul does not match the world.
In that words, Aoba-san who was recognized as a human being of Kuon’s house, who is excellent in flower arrangement.
Her soul still wasn’t compatible with that world.
Aoba-san’s word made me think again about it.
Then a sound like a bell tolls in the bathroom and it’s sucked into the steam.
In response to the sound which disappeared into the moist silence, the response came.
『…Because, it can’t it be helped』(Aoba)
Her appearance of inflating the cheeks and puffs seemed to be a girl who was reluctant.
It’s different from her cool beauty imagine which always wore luxurious kimonos
『A world in which someone who made an important appointment with me disappears…
A world where bud which I wanted to see blossoming someday is withered…
for me it’s not worth anything』(Aoba)
『Eh…?』(Arge)
『So I broke up with that world because my life is worthless』(Aoba)
If I understood right from her words, Aoba-san seemed to have cut off her own life.
And the reason was that she couldn’t fulfill our appointment to view flower one day.
With such a small promise to go to see the cherry blossoms together.
『… Please don’t look like that.
Because right now, neither of us is dead and neither of us is living beings』(Aoba)
『But… because of such a small thing…』(Arge)
『… as usual, you are as dull as a bud』(Aoba)
『Wait…!?』(Arge)
At that moment, the other side became more and more swollen, my leg was pulled and I fell down on the bath.
Although I didn’t get drowned, I was now in a lower position.
When I looked at my feet, there was a green rounded thing there.
『An ivy …?』(Arge)
『I’m an Arlaune now. It’s easy as there are flowers.
Although, I don’t have any other features』(Aoba)
『Ah…, Aoba-san…?』(Arge)
And then she came on top of me who was cover with hot water.
Her eyes which are staring at me are burning red.
Her green cheeks were dyed in Vermillion, and Aoba-san talked to me.
『Apparently, it seems you won’t understand unless I say it seriously.
So I will tell you… from a long time ago… since we were in that world…(Anata no Koto ga [suki?]) about you, I have been always in [love with you?]…』(Aoba)
『… …?』(Arge)
『…Kyu』(Aoba)
『Eh!?』(Arge)
As she talked, Aoba-san stopped halfway and collapsed.
I reflectively hug her body, which is really hot.
『Maybe because she is an Arlaune?』(Arge)
Arlaune is, in fact, a plant family.
There is no wonder if she was weak against high fever.
Well, I wonder why she came in a bath, but she was originally a human being.
She probably came in with the intention like in her previous life, and she burned out suicide.
I am curious about what she was about to say, but right now it’s not the case that you I should care about.
Even if I apply recovery magic here, when she stays at the same place, she will soon collapse again.
I picked her up and decided to leave the bath.
Aoba-san in my arms is really light, she is almost like a circle of flowers.
