Reincarnation Monarch

"... it's the same as the world over there..."

Gaius was astonished to learn that the birdhouse now approaching exactly in front of him had the same godly gated character as the birdhouse in the world where he once was.

"Hmmm... looks like the same thing... you guys only have very little memory in the world over there, don't you?

"Yeah. It's just that I don't remember anything about myself, and I have knowledge. That's why I know a lot about birdhouses..."

"But... what?

"You hardly know anything about birdhouses in that world, like why birdhouses are birdhouses and why they take such odd forms. It's been built because it's been handed down for a long time..."

"Hmm... how long ago was that?

"Well... I think it was at least a thousand years ago"

"A thousand years?... Uh-huh, that's pretty good."

"What about this one? I thought the origins were old?

"I'll ask. Wait a minute."

Elle says no, I just happened to start a silent conversation with Naga.

"Apparently, this one's pretty old, too. I don't even know if it's a thousand years old."

"Well... did you hear where it came from?

"Mm-hmm. Unfortunately, he doesn't. It's just that the village elders might know something. Well, maybe I don't want to, but when I get to the village, I'm going to ask."

That's when Gaius, crossing Naga's back, just passed under the birdhouse, looking up at the birdhouse and squeaking admirably.

"... this is the second time you've done this..."

"Yeah? You've seen the same thing in this world before?

"No, I'm not. It's not a birdhouse, it's another building. You know Elle, too. Childhood friendly Julia. Her house looks just like a building in the world called Money and Water. It's like a birdhouse. It's unique to Japan, the country where I was born and raised in the world."

"Well, is Nippon the country you were in over there?"

"Yes, sometimes it's Japan."

"Really? You have two country names?

"Yeah. I don't know much about it either. You have two names for some reason... Oh yes, there are a total of three because a foreign country calls you Japan... Is there anything else? ……

"... what is that... confusing?

"Uh-huh. Well, that was fine... for once..."

"Phew, well, it's not a monstrous country."

"That's definitely weird when you say that. I don't know why... but I miss it more than that... I don't know because I haven't spoken my name in a long time..."

"Well, was it only twelve years since you reincarnated here? Then, of course, I won't miss you."

"Well... twelve years... like it was long, short..."

Gaius often looked a long way and missed being attacked with grief for saying the name of his long time home.
