Chapter 233: Don’t Call Me Whoopi
“I see. So, Whoopi inherited Ro-chan’s legacy and took over that land, and that’s why you came to investigate my villa.”
“…That’s right.”
Rest, pushed up against the sailor uniform, or rather, as part of the negotiation, revealed the information. Shoko, with a slight frown, responded.
“I see, I see… Looks like Ro-chan really died, huh? Guess I did something bad…”
“…Is that all? Don’t you have anything else you want to say?”
Rest had already told Shoko about killing Rodel. He deliberately revealed it to test her reaction, but despite the fact that her beloved grandson was killed, she didn’t show any anger or hatred toward him.
“It was my fault, or rather Frederica’s, that that kid died. I have no reason to hold any grudges.”
“…I see.”
Instead, Rest showed a hint of anger in his expression. If there was no hatred, did that mean she felt no regret either? If she was really the queen dowager, then if she hadn’t spoiled Rodel, he wouldn’t have gone down the wrong path.
“Sorry. But I’m just a Zanryuushinen based on my previous life’s personality. I don’t really have Frederica’s emotions. I know about Rodel, but… it’s like the characters in a drama or movie, you know?”
“…So, you have no feelings as someone involved?”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
Shoko stood up from the bench. She swung her strawberry milk carton and tossed it into a nearby trash can.
“Well, since Whoopi talked, I’ll talk too. I died in an accident, you know?”
“An accident…”
“Yep. And when I came to, I was reincarnated into this world.”
Shoko sat back down on the bench and crossed her legs.
“I was born and raised in this little town, and was supposed to go to a university in the city soon. But, I died before I could grow up. I never even got to have sex, you know?”
“…Don’t talk about sex like that.”
“That’s a little sexist, you know? Girls can be interested in naughty things too.”
Rest frowned in discomfort, and Shoko grinned, showing her teeth in a playful manner.
“Anyway, I reincarnated into this world as a noble, a ‘Reijo’.”
“…”
“My new family treated me well. My parents were nice, my little brother was adorable, and I even had a handsome and kind fiancé. And on top of that, I had a reincarnation bonus, a cheat!”
“A reincarnation bonus… a cheat…”
“Yep, it’s called ‘Skuld’s Eyes,’ and I can see the future. Isn’t that amazing?”
Shoko laughed lightly, revealing this information with ease. It seems she indeed had a reincarnation cheat, and it allowed her to predict the future.
“…By the way, didn’t you have a power like ‘charm’ or something?”
“Oh, so you’re suspicious of that, huh? Sure, I was super popular with guys, but that’s all me. I didn’t use any weird powers.”
“…So that’s what happened.”
“Yeah. Even that guy… that Gascoigne person suspected me.”
“Gascoigne… Leonardo Gascoigne, you mean?”
He’s the chairman of the Council of Sages. It’s the first I’m hearing of him being involved with the queen dowager.
“According to him, there are a lot of reincarnators in this world. About seventy-eight.”
“Seventy-eight… That’s a surprisingly specific number…”
“I thought the same. Apparently, the number of reincarnators is always seventy-eight. When one dies, another is born. And the reincarnation bonuses are passed down too.”
“…”
Seventy-eight. That’s not only the number of reincarnators, but it might also be the number of reincarnation cheats.
Shoko has the power of “Skuld’s Eyes,” which allows her to foresee the future, and… Rest seems to possess infinite magic, a power known as the “Ouroboros Circle.”
“It seems that each reincarnator gets one reincarnation bonus. So, there’s probably seventy-eight of them. All the high-ranking members of the Council of Sages are reincarnators too.”
“I see… So, Gascoigne was a reincarnator too, then.”
“Yeah. Well, it’s not that important to me.”
Shoko put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a lollipop. She unwrapped it and popped it into her mouth, sucking on it noisily.
“Let me get back to the point. So, I reincarnated into this world, but… I forgot something. That the world is ridiculously unfair.”
Ad
“…”
“In my previous life, I couldn’t grow up, I couldn’t achieve my dreams, and I died. I never even got to repay my parents for everything. I thought this world would be different… I really was an idiot.”
Shoko, who had been speaking calmly up to that point, suddenly wore a harsh expression.
“So… everything was taken from me. The king back then forced me to become his wife, and my family and fiancé, who tried to defy him, were all killed.”
