Chapter 342
Chapter 342
"Master Rid, do you mean by that 'memory of a past life' exactly as the term suggests?"
"Yes, I do. I don't think it's easy to believe."
When I nodded to Fara's question, Asuna, sitting next to her, blacked out her eyes, "What a .......
Well, it's a natural reaction.
I think I would be just as surprised if I were in the reverse situation.
At that moment, there was a knock at my door and I heard Deanna's voice saying, "Master Rid, I have brought you some tea."
I answered and she quietly entered the room.
She placed the tea we had asked for on the desk in front of us.
Thank you, Diana.
"It's a great honor, thank you."
Diana bowed to us and took her place behind the sofa on which I was sitting.
I took a sip of the tea she had prepared for me and looked again at Farah and Asuna.
'Well, I'll start from the beginning, but ...... you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone what you hear here. Of course, you mustn't tell King Elias or Lady Eltia either."
Fara and Asuna looked at each other and then nodded cockily.
"I understand. I am already a member of the Bardia family, and I will make sure that Master Rid's secret is protected."
I, too, am in the service of the princess, and I will tell no one.
"Thank you. I will not tell anyone."
After that, I explained about the "memories of my previous life," the time when I remembered, the contents, and the pseudo-experience of this life carefully and slowly.
That when I met them, I had already regained the memory of my previous life.
When I told the two that they had already started various actions, they looked surprised and at the same time convinced.
"I see. Master Rid's strength, which he showed in the match in front of Lacis and me, also had something to do with his memory of his previous life."
Haha,......, it is true that since regaining the memory of my previous life, I have been actively learning martial arts and studying, so I may have been cheating a little."
When I responded with a wry smile to Asuna's words, Farrah shook her head a little and uttered a dignified voice.
Master Rid, I'm afraid that 'cheating' is not quite the right word. It is true that by recovering the memory of the previous life, there are many things that you have noticed. However, it is another matter whether or not you can put them into practice even if you have realized them. And no matter how much talent you have in the rough, it is meaningless if you do not continue to polish it. The strength that you showed in the competition is your own strength, Master Rid."
As she finished, Asuna nodded in agreement.
"Princess, you are right. Martial arts are not something you can do with the memories of your past life."
Both of you ...... haha, thank you."
Hearing their powerful words, my cheeks involuntarily relaxed.
It is very reassuring to know that these girls are there for me when I tell them about my "past life memories.
I was thinking of this when I answered, and soon after, Farah quickly bailed out.
It is outrageous, Master Rid." By the way, Master Rid, ......"
"Yes, what is it?"
I was wondering if I may ask you a few more questions about the matter you mentioned earlier about your 'simulated experience'
I understand. Okay, I will explain it to you.
I nodded in response to his question and told him that I had been having a "pseudo-experience" this lifetime, just like my father.
By the way, "pseudo-experience" is the term I chose because it is the easiest way to convey the contents in this world where there are no games.
Then, using the knowledge I had gained from the pseudo-experience, I told them that I had succeeded in developing a "magic recovery medicine" that would delay the worsening of the symptoms of my mother's "magical power depletion" and a medicine that would cure her completely.
Soon after, the two seemed to realize the gravity of the situation and their faces turned pale.
They didn't know that my memories of my previous life were involved in the development of the "magic restorative" and the "cure for magic depletion," so their reaction may have been natural.
Eventually, after finishing my explanation, I laugh.
Haha ...... and well, it's not something you can talk about to anyone like this."
"I am sure that this is not something we can talk about easily. Ah, but wait a minute. ...... So, does this mean that Valerie-sama also has that knowledge from her memories of her previous life?"
I nodded my head as Fara asked me with a roll of her eyes, seemingly remembering our conversation during the day.
"Yes, She said her memories are not as clear as mine, so she can't really make use of them like I can, but you never know when they will come back. So, while accepting her offer of cooperation, we are going to monitor her."
"'Monitoring,' ...... doesn't sound very peaceful."
"Princess. I am afraid that Master Rid must have built a very advanced civilization as far as I have heard his explanation about the knowledge of his previous life. If that knowledge were to be revealed unintentionally and misused, it would mean that the world could be disturbed."
Asuna explained to the fearful Fara as if to supplement her explanation.
"Yes,Asuna is right, 'knowledge' does not always make the world a better place. Unfortunately, there will always be people who will abuse it."
Knowledge is always a good or bad thing, depending on the application of those who use it.
Valerie, to be honest, has a personality that is not always clear what she is going to do.
If I were to realize the possibility that there is someone who retains "memories of a past life," would I behave as she did? The answer is "No."
Having memories of a past life does not necessarily mean that the other person is a good person.
I would be more cautious.
That is why her 'Tokirella! to tell a story to an unknown number of people was completely unexpected and therefore made me upset as well.
I have a feeling that "Valerie Erasenise" who does such a thing will eventually get into trouble if left on her own .......
My father understood this, and that's why he agreed to watch over me.
Farrah, who had heard me and Asuna's conversation not long ago, took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
'Well, ...... surely, I may not have been aware enough. I am awfully sorry, and I will be happy to cooperate with Valerie-sama's monitoring."
'Thank you. I'll discuss the monitoring method with my father, and I think it would be helpful if Fara could get along with Valerie as a normal girls
When I talked to her during the day, I felt that Valerie was mentally exhausted from the uncertainty of the future.
I think what Valerie needs right now is a friend of the same gender that she can talk to without worrying about her future.
She seems to have told her brother, Latiga, about her secret, but he was skeptical until today.
It is possible that she has been cornered in her own way and has gone off the rails, unable to make a calm decision.
After that, there are probably things that girls can only talk about with each other, and he might be able to talk to Farah about things that he can't talk about with his family.
When I answered with this thought, Farah nodded vigorously with a twinkle in her eye.
Yes, leave it to me . I will build a friendship with Valerie-sama and become her 'best friend."
"Yes, . I'm looking forward to working with you."
I nodded, involuntarily flinching at the extraordinary enthusiasm she was showing.
Shortly thereafter, Asuna asked, "Master Rid, may I ask you something else? "
For a while after that, Farah and Asuna continued to question me about my memories and pseudo-experiences from my previous life.
Some of their questions were impossible to answer, though.
When their questions eventually died down, I cleared my throat.
"Well, now that you've calmed down, Diana and Asuna . I'm sorry, but could you leave me alone with Farah until I say it's okay?"
Diana and Asuna tilted their heads in puzzlement at this sudden request.
But soon after, Farah nodded " awe " and shifted her gaze to Asuna and called out to her.
"Asuna, I'm sorry, but as Master Rid said, could you please excuse us for a moment?"
'I understand. I'll be waiting for you outside the room.'
When Asuna said that, she stood up on the spot and bowed to us before leaving the room.
Diana also bowed and then left the room, saying to me and Farah, "I am also waiting outside the room.
After the two of us left the room, it was just me and Farah in the room, and silence fell.
When we looked at each other, I felt a little embarrassed.
However, I made up my mind to call out to her again.
