86 03.善人、幽霊のハートを射抜いてしまう




 Inside the mansion, in my office.
 Next to me as I was writing, a ghost girl hovered in the air and hovered around me, "Hey, hey.

Hurry up and have a baby. Hey, Daddy.
Not now.

 The girl winked at me up close, but I immediately dismissed it.

Why? You're a nobleman, you're not old enough to have children.
"I have a wife named . Her name is Angier. I've decided she'll be my chamberlain, so I've decided to have our first child with her first.
"Huh.
"And Angier is still young. I'm going to wait a few more years - maybe even a decade.
"For ten years? Then what happens to me?
"Can't wait a decade?

 She glances at the girl.
 She has a pouting lip, like she's disgruntled.

That's right. You've waited hundreds of years to finally be reborn: ....... That's right.
I was conscious.
"Yeah . That's why I want to be born again so badly. You know, there's a hell of a feast right in front of me right now, and I feel like I'm stuck with you. I am.
"I see.

 I smiled.
 That may be true.

 Although the actual scene has only recently become widespread, humans in this world originally knew that their next life would depend on their good deeds once they are reborn.
 And the girl is actually SS-ranked and assured that the next life is a glamorous one.

 Incidentally, Eliza was S-ranked when she had an audience with you and you saw her in your glasses.

 No wonder she's an S. After all, he's the head of the empire.
 All the power and wealth come together to live as they please, emperor. So it makes sense that he's an S.

 They're S-ranked, even for an emperor.
 I understand that a girl who has been told she is SS-ranked is hurriedly anticipating a better life.

But it will have to wait.
Shh. d*mn.

 The girl was floating in the air, arms crossed crossed cross-legged, lips increasingly puckered.
 I thought it was cute to see her like that, but I continued writing.

Speaking of which, what have you been writing about?
"Don't you see?
I don't even know if I can see it, the letters are different from my time.
"I see.

 I was convinced that I was a human being hundreds of years ago. I died and was reborn soon after, so my knowledge of letters carried over.
 Oh, and I remember my tutor pointing out the old writing style.

 Even I had subtle differences, and the first girl in hundreds of years would be even more so.
 I held up a piece of unfinished parchment so that she could see the paper's material and the marks in the corners.

Ah ......
The office. I know there's going to be an explosion of crowds. About 10 million people.
"......
It's pretty clear that if there are that many people, there won't be enough food, land, city infrastructure, education, or anything else.
"......
So, prepare for it while you can.

 While answering, I will write letters and treats to be sent to various parts of the territory.
 Since this is not an emergency, I will only give orders like this and let my men and officials do their best.

 Suddenly.

Speaking of which, you've been quiet for a while now.

 I noticed that the girl has been quiet for a while now.

"...... Hey, it's nothing,

 The girl huffed and paused to look away.
 When she looked away, she kept glancing at me.

 I look down too.
 All that's there is my hand, a pen, and a cursory note.

 It's not like a girl would look away or anything, but it's not supposed to be .......

......
"Ji?
"Your handwriting is good.
Thank you.

 It reminds me of a time long ago when your father gave me a compliment.
 I'm just being normal and polite.

Me too.
Hmm?

 Look at the girl again.


 She was getting more and more stained.
 They were already red up to the base of her ears, red as a boiled octopus, no joke. She's a ghost.

I wonder if my handwriting will be better in my second life.
Do you want to get better?
"Because I suck so badly. I am.
"Hmm.

 I thought for a moment and asked how to touch the ghosts by touching the wise man's sword near the office desk.
 I learned that I can touch them by making a glove-like object, like a magic ball, on the surface of their bodies.

 I do it right away and beckon to the girl.

"Come here.
"Huh?
See?

 When it didn't come from the other side, he pulled his hand back and pulled.

 I pulled the girl who was floating in the air close to me, and then I let her hold the same leather-covered pen and lay my hand on top of it.

"What?
Let me tell you, let's write it down.
"Ah ......

 The girl was puzzled, but moved her accompanying hand to try it first.
 Taking her hand in his, he ran the pen over the paper and carefully wrote the letters.

Yes, that's good. Yeah, yeah, slowly and carefully.
"......

 Halfway through, the girl understood my intentions and began to move her hand to some extent, so I relaxed a little bit and just let her hand guide my movements.

Yeah, you're good. There's no such thing as bad writing. You have a real talent for writing neatly.
"Well, I guess so: ......
Yeah. I think so.

 The girl scowled a little when I said that, and then scowled, "Ehehehe. I'll tell you what it is," she chuckled.

What kind of character is this? What does the sentence mean?
Yeah, you don't know the letters. It's your name.
"Huh?
"The name I've been thinking of for you. That's the one I've been thinking about. It's going to be my baby, so now I have to think about it.

 Names are important.
 Especially if it's going to be your child.

............
"Which one do you want? You don't understand. This is Sophia, from the top, which means wisdom. This is Amanda, which means something important. This is--
"--Ha!

 In the middle of my explanation, the girl shook off my hand and flew away, slipped through the wall and got out.

I wonder what's going on ......

 Just before slipping through the wall, for some reason the girl was seen holding her face and turning even redder in the face.
