How the Regressor Loves the Reincarnated

10. Pressure Interrogation?

1.

A small garden located on one side of the mansion owned by the Ludmeyer family. Two men and women sat facing each other with a circular tea table in the middle.

“…Your complexion is a bit worse than the last time I saw you. Did something happen?”

“Ah. Thank you for your concern, but it’s not a big deal, so you don’t have to worry too much. Really.”

I wonder who said such a thing so shamelessly and without changing a single expression? Adele gave Luke the meaning of telling him right away, and she glared at him.

But when she saw his unmoving expression, Adele sighed and put her tea in her mouth. It was one of two things to try to hide something that was obvious even if you looked at it. Either the matter is extremely personal, or something you don’t want to know about yourself.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk. We’re not particularly close, so it’s only natural that there are things I don’t want to say or something that’s hard for me to say, right?”

It didn’t matter either way, but if that’s the case, don’t worry about it. Adele, who grumbled inwardly, grabbed one of her macaroons from the plate and shoved it into her mouth.

“It’s not like that, it’s really not a big deal…”

After a moment of thought, Luke nodded his head and continued.

“It’s just that since we talked that day, I’ve been putting a little more time into my personal practice. It’s been less than a week since we talked about destruction, and you can’t help but be nervous, right?”

“Ummm… He seems to be like that too.”

Adele, feeling suspicious, took another macaron from her and pushed it into her mouth. Having taken off her gloves to pick up and eat her macarons, the way her thin fingertips touch her lips creates a subtly erotic atmosphere.

Luke was also a man, so when he saw that, he couldn’t help but reflexively swallow.

Although she looks like a young woman who has just reached adulthood, her appearance is similar to her age. Over and over again, she semi-forcibly realizes that in reality she is a mature woman who casually exudes such an alluring atmosphere.

As if she had noticed that gaze, she raised one of her eyebrows and cast her gaze at Luke, as if Adele was interested. The corners of her lips curled up in no time.

“Why is our Luke so eager? This noona will take care of everything. Have you ever been scared?”

‘This woman?’

As the planting becomes uncomfortable, Adele, who sees Luke’s eyebrows wriggling, bursts into a small laugh. Her mischievous smile at the corners of her mouth made her look more hateful, but it made her more difficult to hate.

“Ahaha, just kidding. Joke. Oh, by the way, being comfortable with words might not be worse than I thought…?”

The corners of Adele’s eyes curled subtly like a crescent moon as she smiled. Her impression of her meekness combined with her fox-like smile and the spots under her eyes, transformed her into a more desirable impression.

“You remember well when I said it didn’t matter if I spoke comfortably, right? Enough to throw a joke like that.”

Luke responded more bluntly than he intended. She didn’t even think that Adele would even laugh at that.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“I know…”

“I was curious. How will you react, Luke?”

After hearing her own words, Luke frowned at her, and Adele, with a meaningful expression on her face, began twisting her hair down the side of her cheek.

An uncomfortable silence followed. Luke was silent, not knowing what to say. Adele quietly observed Luke.

In the end, Luke was the first to break the silence.

“What is the reason?”

“Well?”

Adele replied with a smile on her face.

“…Ha ha.”

‘Annoying.’

Luke sighs in frustration as he suppresses his true feelings that he couldn’t bear to let out. And Adele, who sees it and makes her eyes shine. What the hell, she couldn’t help but be dazzled by Luke, who had no way of knowing what she wanted from him.

“If you want to be comfortable talking, as I said the other day, do what you are comfortable with.”

After she regained her composure in an instant, Luke added, staring at Adele with her cold, sunken eyes.

“Since you’ve been joking enough, I want you to get to the point.”

“Okay.”

As if Adele had lost steam, she replied with a pouty expression.

It was fortunate for Luke. He was also unhappy at the same time.

“I’ll say it without hesitation. Luke, I know you’re not back in the past like me. However.”

The mischievous attitude from a while ago was gone. Adele’s sincere appearance made Luke feel strangely uneasy.

“Did you think I didn’t know that you were still hiding something? It is also very big.”

She asked, and Adele, who raised her body from her seat, slowly closed the distance to her, like a predator targeting her prey.

The only difference is that the prey only learns that a predator is targeting it when it is hunted. Adele had no intention of hiding the fact that she was hunting Luke.

When her Luke, who was momentarily overwhelmed by her chauvinistic spirit, looked up at her with her eyes, where her confused look was evident, Adele, who saw her, rather It even brought her closer.

It was so close that it felt dizzying. Even if it wasn’t enough to feel each other’s breath, it was a distance that would be considered inappropriate as a distance between two young aristocratic men and women.

Goosebumps spread along Luke’s back as Adele’s soft voice came from in front of her nose.

“Hiding is fine. How am I going to dig up a secret like that? As I said before, it is natural for you to have things that are difficult or unwilling to say to me.”

Adele said that and gave a soft smile. But Luke wasn’t fooled by that innocent face. Right now, his life was completely in Adele’s palm.

Of course, Luke was not ignorant of the fact that the probability of Adele actually killing herself right here converged to 0%.

But as long as she knows that if she takes her heart, she can pierce my heart with her frail hands without giving her time to blink an eye, There was no way not to be nervous.

“So, please answer this one question honestly. Risk your life.”

Hearing those words, Luke’s neck went up and down.

What kind of questions are you trying to set the mood for? The thought crossed Luke’s mind. In the end, the only thing he’s hiding is the fact that he’s a reincarnated person.

Other people may not know, but to her it’s just a small secret that she doesn’t have to grit her teeth and hide.

“What you said to me that day. You promised me you wouldn’t let me carry all the burdens on my own.”

In Adele’s reflection in Luke’s eyes, she was in a state where the momentum she felt a moment ago had disappeared. Could the situation so far have been all just her acting? While thinking so, Luke’s gaze met Adele’s.

“I have a bad habit that I developed while returning to the past. A habit of relying on memories and information from previous times when judging people. So, I don’t easily trust people I don’t know. But you are nothing but a complete blank slate to me. Luke Istvant from the previous episode and you now are clearly different, so the information I knew has completely lost its usefulness.”

It was only then that Luke was able to understand Adele’s heart to some extent. It was clear that she couldn’t easily make her judgment about whether or not she could trust the variable she was.

“So I want to trust you, but at the same time I’m afraid to make that decision. So please answer me.”

Luke Isvant.

In the promise you made to me that day.

Can you swear there was not a single lie?

“No.”

With the utmost sincerity that can be contained in just one word. Luke replied and nodded his head.

Because it was unknown whether it would be conveyed properly, Luke did not stop there.

“Actually, it’s a secret that I’m hiding, even if no one else knows, it’s okay to tell Adele. I was thinking so. I don’t know when that will be, but I think I’ll bring it up someday.”

Adele’s eyes slowly widen. It was so obvious that anyone could have guessed what Luke would say next. But I never thought I’d be able to hear it here today. So Adele couldn’t help but panic.

“It can be a long story or a short story. It’s probably not even that much fun. If you don’t mind, I’ll tell you my story.”

She doesn’t have to force herself to say things she doesn’t want to say. She said that it was enough for her to hear that sincere answer just a moment ago. Adele, who was about to reply, closed her eyes tightly.

If we can trust him a little more by hearing his story now, wouldn’t it be a good thing for both of us after all? I thought it would be okay if I let you know from the beginning anyway.

It was difficult for even Adele to resist the temptation.

“You don’t have to force yourself to say things you don’t want to say because of me. Because I already heard what I wanted to hear.”

Still, out of politeness, I refused.

Her rook stared at her with a small smile hanging from her mouth. Adele’s cheeks turned red when she realized that her true intentions had already been revealed.

“All right. I’ve already made up my mind. Even if you don’t want to hear it anymore, I’ll just let you hear it. After you’ve finished, don’t blame me for not being funny.”

“Oh, and I would like you to sit down again. It’s a little embarrassing.”

Only then did Adele realize that she was still facing Luke at such a close distance. She was startled and took her seat.

Even so, her cheeks, which were already dyed red, heated up, and the color deepened even more.

“Where to start… Hmm. Yes, Adele, does she think reincarnation is real?”

In this way, the regressor learned of the existence of a reincarnated person who was different from himself but a little similar.
