Reborn In Another World As A Spirit Familiar Chapter 184: Side Story: Trying To Find Kindred Spirits

Did I ever ntion that ti I got a date? No? Well, you're right because I never went on one. So, I'll just write about the love lives of people I know. Cause... you know... MY BLOODLINE ENDS WITH !!! ...I wonder if I can have children as a spirit. In any case, I questioned the people I know yesterday to write this. Let's start with Fina.

"Hi, Fina! How's your love life?!" [Solace]

"Where is this question coming from?" [Fina]

"I'm in a very emotionally starved state, so I'm essentially coping by doing this." [Solace]

Fina gave a look of... pity?

"I do not have a significant other at the mont." [Fina]

"Ah, but do you like soone?" [Solace]

Fina's ears turned red.

"Oh~ Looks like you do! Who is it?" [Solace]

"Not telling." [Fina]

"Aw, please? Pretty please? Super duper pretty plea-" [Solace]

"Stop." [Fina]

So I left after getting told off in a harsh tone. Anyways, the next person in line was Lapis!

"Hey, Lapis! How's your love life?!" [Solace]

By the way, I did indeed use the crystal she gave to teleport into her tower.

"Oh? Are you interested in ?" [Lapis]

"Perchance." [Solace]

"Hm." [Lapis]

With a wave of her hand, I returned to where I was before teleporting. Naly, the public bathroom. ...It was awkward staring at the dude in the stall with . Nevermind that, the next guest is Leon!

"Heya Leon! How's your love life?!" [Solace]

I found her staring into the sky while sitting on a bench. Can't say that's a weird thing, but definitely up there.

"...What's a love life? Is that a food?" [Leon]

"Nevermind." [Solace]

I moved on. Next was Raon.

"Hola, Raon! How's your love life?!" [Solace]

"I have a fiance." [Raon]

"Nice joke." [Solace]

I don't know why, but it was entirely out of reflex that I said that.

"I'm not kidding. It was arranged the day I was born." [Raon]

"Oh." [Solace]

That serious expression told all I needed to know.

"W-Well, who's the unlucky girl?" [Solace]

"Unlucky? Are you here just to make fun of ?" [Raon]

"Uh... Yes, and no." [Solace]

Raon sighed.

"Whatever. It doesn't really matter since I've never t her." [Raon]

"...Why's that?" [Solace]

Raon looked at as if I was stupid.

"Did I not ntion it's been arranged? You don't need to know your fiance if soone else arranges it for you." [Raon]

"Ah, your parents did?" [Solace]

"Who else?" [Raon]

I nodded.

"Yep. You're right. Stupid question. I'll be leaving now." [Solace]

On to the next person. Let's see... On the list was... Wilharrow! The Hero himself!

"Yo, Wilharrow!" [Solace]

"Hm?" [Wilharrow]

It appeared that he was in the middle of training his swordsmanship. There he was, swinging a tal rod at a wooden log. Either way, I was just here to kill ti.

"How's your love life?" [Solace]

"Empty." [Wilharrow]

"Real." [Solace]

Wilharrow paused.

"...Real? What's that an?" [Wilharrow]

"It ans that it was relatable. To ." [Solace]

"Oh." [Wilharrow]

Then he continued with his training. Next on the list was Leyhna.

"Wassup, Leyhna! How's your love life?!" [Solace]

She looked shocked to hear ask that.

"Huh? What's that for?" [Leyhna]

"Just out of obligation. I know soone like you would never get a boy-" [Solace]

I got punched. Moving on. I also asked Burnes, the receptionist at the Adventurer's guild.

"How are you, old man Burnes? I ca to see you." [Solace]

Burnes grunted.

"You again. First of all, I'm not that old. Second of all, why are you here?" [Burnes]

I shrugged.

"Wanted to ask you about your love life." [Solace]

"Ew. You? Interested in ?" [Burnes]

"I've been asking everyone I know. Don't think you're special." [Solace]

I gazed at him with disgust.

"I know you're single by the way." [Solace]

"Uh-huh. Why do you think so?" [Burnes]

"You're ugly, a prick, and to be honest... you sll like you look. Like a goblin's loincloth." [Solace]

Burnes' fingers dug into the wooden desk. Well, if he's pissed, I'm happy.

"Do a favor? Stay here for another hour." [Burnes]

"Do I have a reason to?" [Solace]

"My shift ends soon, so I'd like to kindly ask you to wait. When I get off, I'm going to bash your skull in." [Burnes]

"Shiver timbers. See ya later alligator." [Solace]

I didn't stick around for that. Then, last on my list is... Master!

"Master! How's your love life?" [Solace]

As per usual, I found him in his classroom.

"Well, actually." [Vincent]

"Huh?" [Solace]

I was so shocked to hear that I left my jaw hanging.

"How?! You're cooped up in this room all day!" [Solace]

"This isn't my real body, rember? I'm actually sowhere else." [Vincent]

To think that he lived sowhere else felt so weird. I sotis forget that I'm talking to a wooden puppet.

"If you'd like to know, I am married." [Vincent]

"With who?!" [Solace]

"You may et her one day." [Vincent]

Master put on his finest smile.

"She's quite the individual." [Vincent]

Damn. I hate happy couples.

"Next you're gonna tell you have children." [Solace]

"I do." [Vincent]

"Eh?" [Solace]

"Two, in fact." [Vincent]

Ah... So this is what it's like to go band for band with soone, but then they pull out an image of their happy family.

"I've heard enough." [Solace]

I cried myself to sleep that night.
