Isekai Tensei – Kimi to no Saikai made Nagai koto Nagai koto (Web Novel) - Chapter 99: Yours
Chapter 99: Yours
There was a completely different world to this one.
Magic didn’t exist there, and demons and demi-humans only existed in fairy-tales.
Wars were definitely going on, but he was a student in a peaceful country that wasn’t involved in it.
He brawled, skipped school, played with others, occasionally went to school, and liked a certain girl.
Asakura Ryuuma was a brat you could find anywhere, living in that kind of world.
“And then, during a class trip, we were met with an accident and died. By the time I realized it, I had become Velt Jeeha, a five year old.” (Velt)
Together in this night sky, we gazed at the stars while holding hands as I talked about everything.
About Asakura Ryuuma and that world.
About sensei, who was actually my homeroom teacher in my past life.
About the demon king Sharkryu being the reincarnation of my former classmate.
About Musashi’s demi-human grandfather and even Mackey Mouse being my former classmates.
And…
“I had a classmate called Ayase, who was a class leader type of woman. That’s who princess Arsha is.” (Velt)
Who would believe this kind of story? This kind of absurd story.
A different world exists, and we have memories of our past lives as people who lived in that world.
My classmates who were originally human, became a demon king, demi-human, boss of an evil organization and a princess.
It’s understandable if she thought it was a made-up story with no chain of reasoning.
However, Forna didn’t laugh at all.
She believed my words more than anyone and was making a pondering face instead, as she had finally found out about the mystery around me.
“Velt… so that was why you were so close with demon king Sharkryu and Arsha.” (Forna)
“So, I’m actually older than you by a bit. I feel like my body is catching up to my mind these days, but that’s the reason why I always treated you like a brat when we were kids. Do you believe me?” (Velt)
“It is an unbelievable story, but it is troubling as everything until now would make sense if it is true.” (Forna)
Forna makes an amazed smile as she says that.
Rather than believing it or not, it might’ve been too big of a story that Forna doesn’t even know how to react.
“However, to be frank, nothing really changes because of that. It’s not like it’ll effect this world in any way. I really think my dead old man and mum are my true parents. Well, it was too late by the time I started thinking that though.” (Velt)
“That…… is true…… from my point of view, I will not say any more as long as you stay as Velt. No matter how much Arsha calls you 『Asakura』, I will never call you that in my life.” (Forna)
“Yeah, that’s fine. No matter how much I keep dragging on Asakura Ryuuma, I’ll always be Velt Jeeha to you. That’s why I don’t mind it being that way.” (Velt)
I am Velt Jeeha. And, that fact will never change.
“So………… what will you do?” (Forna)
“About what?” (Velt )
“I would appreciate it if you did not play dumb. There could only be one part I would be the most curious about from your past and your relationships.” (Forna)
Then, Forna pouted a little and made a sulking expression.
For now, she’s probably fine as long as I’m Velt.
Even if I’m a ‘friend’ of a demon king or a princess, that’s still fine with her.
Well, the princess confessed her love to ‘Asakura’, but I’ll leave that aside.
The problem is my feelings.
“Kamino Mina. A name you have muttered multiple times when we were young. The person you………… Velt…… in, in the past.” (Forna)
“Oi, stop making such a frustrated face.” (Velt)
“Of course I would! Why do I have to refer to the name of another woman you used to like!” (Forna)
What am I going to do about Kamino, huh…… that’s pretty cute.
Even though I told her all this stuff about me, she cares more about the woman I used to like, rather than a different world or a demon king.
“When I regained my memories as a kid…… even though it was already lively with you, my old man and mom, everyone called me Velt, but not Asakura. Nothing that I knew was in this world, and no one knew about my real self. Even though I was never alone, my chest was always tight from an indescribable loneliness and sadness.” (Velt)
I still haven’t forgotten those days. Even though I wasn’t alone, I was always alone in my mind.
“That’s why I sulked. I didn’t have any motivation, and this world just seemed idiotic. I might’ve turned out like Kagami if I had taken a single wrong step. However, sensei was the one that saved me.” (Velt)
I still remember it; that feeling when my dark world was filled with overflowing happiness.
“And, I realized. Ahh, it’s not just us two that reincarnated. It must’ve happened to her too. Then, I want to meet her. I want to meet her to tell her my feelings I regretted not saying, words of gratitude, and to try and save her if she’s going through the same pain. I want to do anything that could help her.” (Velt)
That was the vow I made five years ago.
“To let Asakura Ryuuma’s soul rest in peace, I wanted to find Kamino Mina, who’s living somewhere in this world.” (Velt)
That was the thing I couldn’t yield on five years ago, even if it meant parting with Forna and the others.
“Although I feel frustrated……” (Forna)
“Hm?” (Velt)
“That woman must have been quite a lovely person. You are making a sparkling face while talking about her after all……” (Forna)
Forna said that with mixed feelings as she looked the other way.
“Yeah, maybe. She was dumb, and honestly, for her looks, Ayase was several times prettier than her. But…… I was completely fascinated by her.” (Velt)
“………… Uuuuu~~~~~~~.” (Forna)
Now she gripped my hand even tighter.
‘I definitely don’t want to give this hand to anyone else’. That’s the kind of frustration I felt.
“But………… no matter how much『Asakura Ryuuma』thinks about『Kamino Mina』…… I will be the one who loves Velt Jeeha the most in this world.” (Forna)
I know.
That’s why I say this to her.
“Yeah, that’s right. Velt Jeeha has been yours since a long time ago.” (Velt)
“Yes…………………… heh?” (Forna)
Well, that’s all I can say to her for now.
“Um, um um um um, Veveveve, Velt! Riririri, nownownow, right now, right now!” (Forna)
“Ahh? What, do you not want me?” (Velt)
“I, I dyo! I dyo! I do, I do! I do want you! Yes yes! I want you!” (Forna)
Her downcast eyes changed completely, becoming bloodshot as she grabbed me in great excitement.
That’s dangerous, we might fall you know?
“U, um……………… real, ly?” (Forna)
Her depressed mood from before disappeared, and she’s making sparkling, upturned eyes.
Cu……………… no, if I say that now, she’ll just get cocky instead.
“Then, um, if I become a good woman………… do you remember the promise about that?” (Forna)
I won’t say this either. You were a good woman since a long time ago.
Like, it was just that we didn’t really balance, and I was the actual problem.
“So, I’m really sorry about what happened. Forgive me, Forna.” (Velt)
“Ve…… lt?” (Forna)
“This time, we’re going to leave because of what happened with Ura, but I don’t blame her. She’s part of my important family…… and the daughter of my close friend. So, I’ll be her ally no matter what happens, and I plan on being by her side……… well, I was planning to leave her behind in the Elfarshia Kingdom when I was setting off though.” (Velt)
“………… That is…… are you saying that while understanding the feelings Ura has for you is not just familial love?” (Forna)
“That’s right.” (Velt)
“………… On top of that, are you…… going to search for Kamino Mina?” (Forna)
“Yeah. That’s the one thing I can’t yield on after all.” (Velt)
Even though we were finally able to meet, it wasn’t completely a happy ending where I could promise her when we’ll see each other again.
We, who didn’t try to go against that, accepted that and will be gone by tomorrow.
From Forna’s perspective, it’s a cruel story.
“How cruel. You are leaving me because of your close friend’s daughter and a woman from the past.” (Forna)
“Yeah, that’s right. I’m a cruel guy. Well just think that the one who falls for the other lost, and give up.” (Velt)
“Ara, I will not give up. From now on, I will continue improving myself so the one that falls for the other can win.” (Forna)
“What are you going to do by improving yourself even more than that.” (Velt)
“Ufufufu, tricks to make me negligent will not work on me.” (Forna)
Then, Forna fixedly stared at me, and gradually brought her face closer.
“Words are not enough. If you really feel sorry, you have to show it through your actions.” (Forna)
Hearing that, I stretched my arms and legs out.
“Kuhahaha, then starting from now……… you can do whatever you want to me for a minute.” (Velt)
“Eh, what?” (Forna)
“I won’t counterattack. You can punch me as many times as you want until you’re satisfied.” (Velt)
Now, come. I say that in a teasing way, and just as I thought, Forna was about to blow her fuse.
“Eh, um, uh.” (Forna)
“Ten seconds have passed.” (Velt)
“Tsuu, eh, eh! O, only a second has passed, nn~.” (Forna)
And in the end, she overlapped her lips with mine……… she really is the same as ever………
After that, we talked to each other to fill up the five year period.
I told her about sensei’s child being born, that she was seriously the cutest, and that Ura and I were deredere to her.
About my ramen making skill was finally recognized.
Forna talked about her tough battles, the comrades she respected, love stories among her friends and just about everything.
We happily talked about the things we saw, the things we experienced, good things and bad things, and promised to bring an overflowing amount of stories to reminisce about when we next meet again.
