"For a long time no see you, old friend." The beautiful woman said with a gentle smile.
… I'm not sure how to answer.
However, in the end, I let out a slow breath.
"For a long time no see you, witch."
She smiles. With a single step, he appeared in front of me. I did not stop him, but my mana was ready to counterattack.
“... It feels weird to see you like this, Willian. The last time I saw you, you were so different from now.” he said smiling.
“Well, every reincarnation means a completely new body. It's only natural that there's a difference. Willian, yes. Is that my name from one of my past lives?”
He smiled wryly. “True, I forgot about that part. How should I call you this time? (Eternal Soul Wandering Through Immortality)? Or should I use your name in this world?”
“Call me Klaus. Right, I forgot to ask your name.”
This time, I could feel him stopping for a moment.
Then, he looked at me with a sad and bitter expression. “... So you still don't remember my name, huh?”
“You already know how it is. I have long since stopped remembering the name.” I said.
"Yes. Never bring your other life feelings into your new life! that's one of your rules, you already told me about it. However, don't you think that's unfair to people like me?” said it.
I'm speechless.
Every time I reincarnate, I erase a part of my memory. These parts include the names and traits of everyone I met during my last life.
Besides, I also changed all the 'feelings' from my past life to 'information'.
The women I love, the children I have, the people I hate. I turn all these feelings into simple information. Simple data.
That's one of the methods I used to stop myself from going crazy after living for so long.
Not fair? Might as well. But it's necessary.
After all, he has no right to accuse me of being unfair.
In consequence of
"You're the reason I started doing this in the first place, witch." I said.
He smiled bitterly. “You are right, I have no right. By the way, my name is Ysnay. I hope you remember this time. ”
I didn't answer. That's practically impossible.
As I said before, I erase all my feelings every time I reincarnate. It was a way to let go of my mind.
However, there are some feelings that I have kept for a lot of my life.
And one of them is related to this woman, Ysnay.
I forgot the love I felt for her, and also forgot the hatred I felt when she betrayed me. But I remember his betrayal.
What I felt when he betrayed me was still fresh in my mind.
Not hate, not anger. Just a feeling of betrayal. It's just disappointment to know the person you trust the most betrayed you.
I've kept that feeling inside of me ever since.
To remember myself for never putting my trust in him again.
"What are you doing here, Ysnay?" I asked tiredly.
Ysnay walked towards me slowly. Then, she let herself fall into my arms.
“... I... I just want to see you, Willian.. Please, let me stay like this for a while... I've long missed him.”.
Ysnay put on a self-deprecating smile. “I've lived for a very long time. And I am not like you, who can leave everything in every reincarnation and start a new life. That's too boring..”
I let out a breath. That was the fundamental difference between a god/immortal and a human.
Immortal are creatures that live too long. What ordinary people cannot predict.
So in the end, the Immortal stopped being able to interact normally with humans.
To the Immortals, a hundred years was like a month to a human. Sometimes even less. And one month is not even enough to enjoy your time with the pet, but enough to make you feel sick when the pet dies.
But only a few humans could reach the age of a thousand years, let alone more than that.
“Not every Immortal is like you, Willian. Not every Immortal can bring themselves to play with humans as you do.”
Main, yes.
Maybe, he's right.
But playing like this allowed me to live for so long.
I let out a breath. In the end, I couldn't force myself to think like him.
"Well, you are a strange and unnatural man among the immortals, Willian."
I frowned. “Stop peeking at my thoughts. Is that the right way to use destiny? Also, my name is Claus, not Willian.”
Ysnay chuckles. “Well, if you want to stop me from reading your mind, just protect it. After all, I see that you have lived a very fulfilling life this time. How many wives? Let me see... Wow, a lot... What? This time you decided to make a big harem?”
"Something like that" I said calmly. “Also, do not interfere with the fate of those around me. I don't want to have to kill you again.”
"Quiet, I know my position." Ysnay shrugged with a bitter smile. “By the way, what happened to your soul? The injury seems very bad.. Wait a minute, the fluctuation of the law that I felt at that time.... Did you break the laws of the universe?”.
I looked at Ysany and smiled.
Instantly, Ysnay's face turned resolute. "You crazy!? Do you know the consequences of that !? Why you–Wait! This is impossible! you ... you succeeded … "
“Not yet.. But I'm close.. I might be doing it soon.” said I smiled.
Ysnay's eyes were wide open.
Then, his expression turned complicated. “...Begukah.”
“I hope you don't get a funny idea, Ysnay. If you try anything to stop me from reaching my goal, I don't mind killing you a few hundred times more.” I said coldly.
Ysnay smiled bitterly, but soon, her smile returned to normal.
“Don't worry, the last thing I don't want to do is make you hate me again. But. Your daughter is here. He definitely won't allow it.”
This time, I was really surprised. “Emilia!?”
But when I mentioned his name, Ysnay froze.
Then, he sighed in a self-deprecating manner. “... You still remember his name.”
I'm speechless.
He was right, I remember his name.
His blood red eyes, his golden red hair. I remember almost everything about him.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I could not remember our first life together.
Life has become simple data.
That's what I owe him.
