It's dark. The darkness seems to go on forever. Where is the exit?

Did I die?

Did I leave him behind again? Who is he?

A streak of light flashed in my eyes. I reached my hand out and was sucked into the torrent of light.

And then--

I suddenly understood. This is a mory from my soul.

My previous life was....... Or perhaps should I call it the world before last?

So, that's what it was. And he was .......

“.......o! Rio! Open your eyes!”

I opened my heavy eyelids and saw Leon’s figure. The little beast Leon was desperately calling my na.

“Le…...on.”

“Rio! Thank goodness. You’re awake.”

Leon intently looked at my face with concern. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination or not, but his eyes seem to be wet.

I lost consciousness with the impact of the dragon’s breath. What happened to after that?

“Leon, where is this? What happened after that?”

“This is your room. You were sent flying by the dragon’s breath and slamd into the ice wall. You were dying.”

Leon drew the attention of the dragon and had the God of Ti’s space magic take to my room. I was on the verge of death, but Flare-sama helped by using Revival Magic and Healing Magic.

“What about Chris and the others?”

“They’re fine. I had them withdraw imdiately.”

I was relieved to know that Chris and the others were all right. It was because I had found the scales that ended up waking the dragon. I’m so glad that they didn’t get implicated.

“I was worried about you. Even though Flare used Resurrection, you’ve been sleeping for three days.”

“I’m surprised I slept for so long. My body doesn’t hurt that much.”

Even in a good bed, sleeping for such a long ti should’ve made ache, but it didn’t.

“Marie has been taking care of you this whole ti. She made sure that you wouldn’t lose your muscle strength when you woke up.”

“That’s right. I have to thank Marie for that. Where is she?”

“She stayed up for two days straight. She’s currently resting.”

Daaku-sama had put her to sleep because she insisted on staying by my side until I woke up.

It was a good decision. If she stayed up all night, she would collapse.

I suddenly recalled the mory of the soul I saw before I woke up.

“Leon…..my previous life, no my life before that, I was Marion-san.”

His odd eyes widened in astonishnt.

“.......why…….that……”

Leon’s words ca out in choppy words intermittently.

“I saw the mory of my soul. I don’t rember the ti I was Marion, but I realized now that I was Marion-san.”

“......I see.”

“Leon knew I was Marion’s reincarnation.”

“I knew.”

So he knew it after all. That’s why Leon is so kind to .

“So, the other gods knew too.”

Leon didn’t say anything, but his silence gave the answer. The other gods also knew that I was the reincarnation of Marion-san.

Everything I had been holding back was now bursting through the dam. I sat up and turned to face Leon.

“Leon and the other gods are kind to ! That’s all because I’m the reincarnation of Marion-san!”

“That’s not true!”

Leon turned into a young man and hugged .

“What’s the difference? Gods can identify people by their souls, can’t they? I have Marion’s soul, so that’s why you were so nice to !”

I twisted and struggled to escape from Leon’s embrace.

“Listen! Listen to , Rio!”

He grabbed by my shoulders with his big hands. His power was firm and gentle, not too strong. And warm.

But, I covered my ears with my hands and shook my head.

“No! I don’t want to hear it! Who does Leon need more, or Marion-san!?”

“You don’t need to ask such a thing! Marion is already gone. Rio is the one who is living in this ti. I need you, Rio! Of course, I need you!”

Saying so, Leon hugged again.

“Really?”

“It’s true. So please don’t say such sad things.”

Sothing hot dripped down my cheek. It was born of happiness.

Leon told that he needs , not Marion. He told that I was important.

I couldn’t help but put my arms around Leon’s back and hug him.

I stayed like that for a while, crying in Leon’s arms until I felt better.

Leon gently hugged and stroked my back until I stopped crying.

When I had finally stopped crying, I heard a cute coughing sound.

“Sorry to interrupt you, but I have sothing to say to Rio, too.”

It was Flare-sama.

“At first, I was attracted to Rio, who had Marion’s soul, and gave you magic. However, as Leon says, Marion is already gone. I like Rio, herself, who is living now in the present! I believe the sa holds true for Daaku and the other gods.”

“Flare-sama…...I love you too, Flare-sama.”

Mh? As Leon says? Was Flare-sama nearby? Thinking so I felt my face heat up.

“Um…..I’m still tired, so I’m going to sleep!”

“Rio?”

I slipped out of Leon’s arms and dove under the covers. So embarrassing!

I’m feeling embarrassed for acting like an idiot for feeling so conflicted. Even though Leon and the other gods have been watching ........
