Damn Reincarnation

th a half-smile.
“I saw everything earlier.
You were reading the records belonging to Lady Sienna over and over again.
On your first day in Aroth, you headed straight to Lady Sienna’s mansion for a tour, and last time, you even met with your friend from a different collateral branch at Merdein Square.”

“Why do you know so much about my activities?” Eugene asked, disturbed.

Melkith teased him, “It seems that you’re not too aware of it, kid, but you’re actually really famous.”

“Of course, I know I’m famous,” Eugene replied with a snort.

“Your personality is a little… unlike your appearance.
It’s lacking in charm.”

“What do you mean by saying it’s unlike my appearance?”

“You have a handsome face, don’t you?”

“So please just think of my rudeness as the cost of enjoying my good looks.”

“It’s not just a little lacking.
You really aren’t charming at all.”

“But why do you keep calling me a kid?”

“I’m calling you a kid because you are one.
Aren’t you just seventeen years old? Phew, you still smell like breast milk.”

“There are some words running through my head right now, but I’m not sure if I should spit them out.”

“What kind of words?”

“I’ll just keep quiet.
Since they feel a bit too rude to express during our first meeting.”

There was no way that he was trying to say that she smelled like a granny, right? After gazing at Eugene speechlessly, Melkith sniffed her own body.

“I don’t smell of anything,” she insisted.

Eugene returned the favor, “And I also don’t give off the smell of milk.”

“Anyways, when are you going to lend me Wynnyd?”

“I’m not going to lend it to you.”

Ignoring Melkith, who was continuing to follow him, Eugene turned to look at his surroundings.
He was just wondering if he needed to find some stairs in order to go to the upper floors, but then he spotted the elevator in the corner.

Melkith helpfully explained, “Do you see the hole beside the door? If you put your ID card in there, the door will open.
You’re going up to the twelfth floor, right?”

“Yep,” Eugene admitted.

“See, it seems like you really do like Lady Sienna a whole lot.”

“I don’t like her.”

“Could it be because you’re just a young kid that you seem embarrassed by the strangest things? It’s fine, it’s fine.
This big sister understands everything.
Children are usually like that, aren’t they? Especially boys.
They’re never honest about saying that they like what they like, and that’s exactly why they’re so cute.”

“Isn’t it going a bit too far to call yourself ‘big sister’?”

“You, just now, were you asking that because of my age?”

“As far as I’m aware, you are already over sixty years old.”

Even if he added the years from his previous life to his current age, Melkith still had more years than him.
Of course, going by Melkith’s outer appearance, she looked like she was in her mid-twenties at most, but just because she kept her looks young didn’t mean her true age got any younger.

Melkith defended herself, “When you’re young at heart, why should age even matter? So don’t be shy, and feel free to call me big sis.”

Eugene didn’t reply to these words.
Instead, he placed his ID in the elevator’s slot and lost himself in some irrelevant thoughts.

If Sienna truly was alive and had lived all this time, that meant that her age had to be over three hundred years old.

Eugene made a note to himself, ‘When we meet, I might have to call her a grandma.’

Or it might be better to call her an undead rather than a grandma.
Of course, if he really did say that in front of her, Sienna was sure to try to kill Eugene while oozing bloodlust.

He would actually be very happy if that were to happen.

With a wry smile, Eugene entered the elevator.
Melkith didn’t get onto the elevator with him.
She stood outside the elevator and waved her hand at him with a grin.

“Come back soon,” she said.

Eugene asked, “You’re not going to be waiting here for me, are you?”

“Even I’m not such a free-willed person,” Melkith pouted.
“Although I actually want to go and take a look with you, ummm….
But if I’m with you, I don’t think you’ll be able to focus.”

“That would definitely be the case,” Eugene admitted.

“Mhm, since that’s the case, I’m not going with you.
Although I won’t get to see your shock when you face a glimpse of the truth…. Fufu, your first time is definitely the most intense.” As Melkith hid a laugh, she pointed at Eugene’s lower body and said, “It might be better for you if you wear a diaper?”

“Why?”

“You might just wet your pants a little.”

It had been pointless to ask.
With a deep frown, Eugene pressed the button for the twelfth, then he immediately pounded the button to close the door. 

 

The elevator climbed up.
It didn’t take that long for it to reach the twelfth floor.
It would only be a slight exaggeration to say that he had arrived on the twelfth floor in the blink of an eye.

Eugene was greeted by a voice saying, “Welcome to Sienna’s hall.”

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he was welcomed by a little girl looking up at Eugene with a broad smile.

“…,” Eugene’s lips parted silently as he looked down at the girl.

The girl, who appeared to be about ten years old, looked exactly like the Sienna that Eugene remembered.
