Okay, I'll see you at the party.

Yes, excuse me.

　I keep my head down until the door closes with a bang. Huh. I was nervous. The last time I talked to him was during the war, and he had an awful scary vibe, so I thought he was a scary person, but when I talked to him, he was surprisingly easy to talk to. Or rather, I felt like I could talk to him more calmly than the others.

'Good for you, Kanamin. I wasn't too scared.

'Yeah. I'm glad I had the courage to do it.

　Mari, too, had lost the strong expression she had at the beginning. She looked extremely anxious.

'Kana, Mari. Thank you for me. But please don't do this anymore. It's hard to see you guys sacrificed because of me.

　Lucie will say so apologetically. But I couldn't stand it if I saw that painful look on Lucie and Takumi's face.

　Then we and Luciy split up and went back to our own room to change into our party dresses. But in the meantime, I'm thinking about something called Master Ravert's night.

　Me and that man only met once, during the war. And yet, he wants to talk to me about something, but what is it?

　Are you going to confess or something?　From what I've heard, Master Ravert is engaged to a princess from another country, as well as his half-sister.

　Did he fall in love with you at first sight during the war?　...it's possible. But Alexia-sama really seemed to like Reiwert-sama, and she thought about Lucie if I told her.

　Hmm, I don't know. As I was thinking about that and changing clothes, there was a knock on the door. When I opened it, Mari was standing there.

''Are you ready?　Ooh!　Canamin is wearing quite an erotic dress!

　Then Mari tries to grab my breasts. I'm wearing a strapless dress. There are no shoulder straps and the corset is a little tight to prevent it from falling off with the clothes, so my breasts are inevitably emphasized. Mari tried to grab it.

''Don't!''

　So, he activates a deco pin to stop Asari. It hits Asari's forehead and she says, "Fugyah! And I press my forehead. Mari looks at me with tears in her eyes, but it's because she's trying to grab my chest.

'Come on, let's get out of this nonsense,'

'Mmmmmm, there's nothing more important than squeezing Kanamin's chest!

　Mari will say something like that while raising her arms upwards with Mookie. Totally Mari. Where did she go to be so quiet when Reiwert-sama was there?

　I took Mari to the party hall with her, and a little while later, Ravert-sama showed up. Next to her was Alexia-sama with her arms crossed, and behind her was a girl with a cute nekomimi, accompanied by a woman in armor and so on.

　The party went on without any problems. There was a scene along the way where the noble children cursed the nekomimi girl, but when Master Ravert glared at them, they started wobbling and shaking and fainted.

　That figure was exactly the same as in the war. I even shuddered when I remembered the war.

　However, the way he gently hugged the Necomimi girl who had suffered so much afterwards made a lasting impression on me. Alexia-sama didn't seem to say anything either, so I guess she must be one of them.

　A very, very scary person, but someone who is very much loved by her fiancés. I guess they're both real faces.

　Then the party was over and it was time for my appointment with Lady Ravert. I'm a little nervous. I wonder what they will talk about. If it's a confession, I'll say no. Because I still can't give up on my cousin.......

　And when I went to the promised balcony, I saw Reiwert-sama staring at the moon in the night sky. He was originally a handsome man, so it's cool to see him like that. I couldn't help but get a kick out of it. I took a deep breath.

Here you go.

　I call out to him. Reiwert-sama, who recognizes the voice and turns around, stares at me and gives me a sad, but happy expression.

''Um~ What is the story?''

　At any rate, I have to check why they called me. When I asked, Reiwert-sama huffed and then just gazed at me again.

''........''

....

　Is there nothing to be done?　He's not telling me anything.

I think I'm going to go back in if it's nothing to go on.

　He didn't talk too much and I couldn't resist and turned around to go back. Why did he call me?　As I was thinking this, I was suddenly grabbed by my left arm.

　I turned around in surprise and saw Reiwert-sama's face right in front of my eyes and nose. I wonder where it was. It wasn't in the recent past. It's an expression I thought I'd never see again. How could this person be.

'I'm sorry. I didn't know what to say, so I was confused. It's been a while, Kana.

　And then suddenly Master Ravert says something like that.

'What?　I told you earlier that it's been a while, but...

　When I asked him why he was saying that, even though I had spoken to him before the party and in my greeting at the party, Master Ravert shook his head.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about that. I've been in this world for fourteen years now and Kana has been summoned here for about two years now, but she hasn't changed much in appearance, so it hasn't been too long since I died.

...what the hell are you talking about?

　Suddenly I didn't know what he was talking about. I can tell from his appearance that Master Ravert is younger than I am. He looks more mature than he looks. When I was confused, Reiwert-sama smiled bitterly at me.

Huh. Sorry to talk to you alone. I'm actually a reincarnated person. In a previous life, I lived in a place called Japan.

　And then he started to say something outrageous. Eh!　Reincarnation... And you said you were from Japan in a previous life. You're from the same hometown as us?

'What?　Japan is just like us...

　I ask in surprise, and Reiwert-sama nods. But if there's a transference or summoning, is it not surprising that there's a transference?

So, my name in my previous life was...

....

　And Master Ravert tries to tell me the name of his previous life. I didn't think there was any way I could understand even if he told me, but for some reason I felt I had to ask this name. So I kept silent and waited for Ravert-sama to continue. And

His name is Hayato Katsuragi.

........eh....

　........I thought my heart had stopped. It was because a name that should never have come out of my mouth in this world except for me and Mari. The others would have known that I had a brother, but they would never know my name.

'It's been a while, Kana.

　And when I looked at Reiwert-sama's face as he called my name in a gentle voice, I saw Cousin Hayato's face there, smiling gently and warmly at me just like he did in his previous life, although his facial features were different.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　Kana continues to look at my face with a stunned expression. Well, it's hard to believe you're saying that out of the blue, isn't it?

'I'm sorry. You can't do anything about it if you're told that all of a sudden.

　I decided to wait until I could calm down and think about it for now, and was about to tell Kana to call it a day, when Kana suddenly hugged me.

'Cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin!　Cousin Hayato!　I've missed you!　I've missed you!　I've been wanting to see you for a long, long time!

　Kana hugs me forcefully as she says this. Tears are flowing from her eyes. I'm sorry I gave Kana a hard time. I didn't say anything, but patted Kana's head.
