My Seatmate is Apparently My Wife from My Past Life; She Still Loves Me in This Life as Well

A few minutes later—or so soon that time felt irrelevant.

Naturally, I returned to the classroom, but it seemed my classmates, who were expected to remain, had already gone home.

Or perhaps, the departure of Tachimuka and the others caused everyone to disperse naturally.

Thanks to that, my bag, left on the edge of a desk, stood out conspicuously. Sitting there with her chin in her hands, Kamidama was immediately noticeable.

Even though this setup seemed like anyone could have created it, the mere fact that the girl there was Kamidama Kagari made it remarkably picturesque.

Sometimes, I genuinely believed the absurd rumors that Kamidama had stepped out of fiction; she was such a mysterious beauty.

Truly.

Especially when she looked like an ideal beauty but spoke fervently about her past lives. It was super mysterious.

It made me want to turn around and leave.

Well, I’ve gotten somewhat used to it now.

Even though humans adapt to anything, I didn’t want to get used to this… With conflicting feelings, I approached Kamidama, who had noticed me and smiled.

“Sorry for being late.”

“No, it’s fine. But forgetting your bag? You’re such a clumsy kid.”

“Annoying… Don’t give me the clumsy attribute. It was just a coincidence. Besides, I have a reputation for never forgetting things.”

“Who gave you that reputation…?”

Kamidama hinted that no third party would vouch for me, which was true, so I couldn’t say anything.

Damn, she’s too good at shutting me up.

“But you were in such a hurry because you wanted my tomorrow so badly?”

“Well… it’s not wrong, but…”

“?”

“It’s a bit hard to explain… but I got these.”

I placed two train tickets on the desk and briefly explained the situation.

The master didn’t ask me to keep it a secret, after all.

Explaining it made me feel like I had been pushed around, which was a bit depressing, but it couldn’t be helped.

As I explained, Kamidama hummed and examined the tickets with a thoughtful look.

It was sudden, after all.

I had told her to keep tomorrow free, but maybe I should cancel… It felt unfair to think this now, after school.

Maybe I should just bow down and beg for forgiveness… I thought as her hazel eyes softly looked at me.

“I’m fine with it, but… will Uraku be okay? It might be an overnight trip.”

“…Overnight? Wait, what!? Is it that far!?”

“You didn’t even check… Typical of you, but a bit careless. As a date invitation, it’s a fail.”

“When did it become a date…?”

Well, calling a two-person outing a date isn’t wrong, but…

It felt different when put into words.

It wasn’t that romantic.

“The destination is far from the station. We’ll have to transfer, take a bus, and walk a bit… The day will end with just traveling.”

“Impressive. You understood that from my vague explanation…”

“Hehe, we’ve known each other a long time.”

“Fuu…”

“Oh? Are you jealous?”

“Not at all. I was impressed.”

“You don’t have to hide it. I love that jealous side of you.”

With exaggerated enthusiasm, Kamidama hugged me tightly and ruffled my hair.

She might start petting my chin soon. Does she think I’m a big dog?

I broke free and sat facing her. Kamidama looked disappointed, but I ignored it.

“Still, an overnight trip…”

“You don’t want to?”

“It’s not that, it’s just… I’m hesitant. We haven’t decided on a place to stay. Maybe we should apologize to the master and…”

“It’s okay. I have a place to stay, and it won’t cost anything… though there’s a catch.”

“Don’t scare me… What? A haunted house?”

I didn’t want that. If a strange woman stared at me at night, I’d die of shock.

My heart is weaker than a flea’s, so please understand… And why do you know so much detail?

How did you know all that from the station name…?

Kamidama and the master might be in cahoots. If so, Kamidama should have given me the tickets.

Besides, since it’s about investigating past lives, it makes sense that Kamidama is knowledgeable.

If Kamidama didn’t know, who would?

“Haha, of course not… Though it might have some history…”

“What? Wait, that’s not okay!”

“But it’s fine! If anything appears, it will be my ghost!”

“…? ???”

“Or… maybe your ghost!”

“????”

Kamidama said things that made no sense. What? Will there be living spirits? Or will she kill me and make me a ghost?

Either way, that’s not okay. It’s worse than a haunted house!

“But don’t worry! I’ll sleep next to you, so nothing scary, right?”

“No, you’d be the scariest thing…”

“True, I might be unbearable…”

“I hoped you’d deny that…”

Now I’m seriously worried. But Kamidama looked serious, making me straighten up.

“Really, it’ll be fine. My concern is you attacking me.”

“How rude, I’m a gentleman.”

“Okay, then there’s no problem. Let’s go shopping for tomorrow’s preparations!”

“Kamidama, are you good at leading questions?”

I felt like I had been led into saying convenient things.

I was puzzled, but Kamidama smiled softly.

“It’s not that I’m great, but you’re too easy. It’s worrying.”

She said something rude.
