Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

Although he should deny it at this time, he still felt a little distressed and pushed the problem directly to Celia.

Looking at his face and getting such an answer, Zanze seemed to be a little surprised and opened his eyes wide: "....Are you really not going to deny it?"

"I don't think you will tell others casually." He responded lightly without any concealment, and his palm was habitually placed on her head.

"....Honestly, I'm surprised."

"It's not that serious, right?"

"....Maybe, but..."

"Don't make it so complicated." He smiled and shook his head, and put his hands through her armpits, lifted the petite girl high up to the night sky, and looked at the slightly flustered girl with a calm smile:

"No matter how long it has been, I will definitely watch over you in your limited time. Not being able to live in the same time does not mean that the time we experience is fake."

"But even so...one day, you will definitely forget my existence, right?"

The girl who was still struggling stopped struggling unconsciously, subconsciously watching what he said...and did not get the response she deserved, but gradually disappeared into the air.

Although Ash felt that he should give a positive answer at this time, he unconsciously thought of the dwarf who was guarding the village.

Celia and Flillian may be different, with a different view of time from humans, and hundreds of years will pass by in a swaying manner.

He himself is just a human being, and he does not have that special concept of time, so he cannot be sure what he will be like after a thousand years.

Perhaps after a thousand years, this kind of fleeting feeling and friends will be forgotten completely if they are not careful? ——He cannot be sure now.

Zanze saw Ash's distress, and it would be a lie to say that she did not feel even a little lonely.

But Ash also saw her loneliness, and could not help but slowly put it down again, put it beside him and slightly bent his knees, so that his eyes were level with hers, showing a little guilty, but consistent smile:

"A thousand years is too long and I can't guarantee it, but at least when I am still the current me, I will remember that you are my important junior sister and junior in this hundred years."

"...I know this."

"Then it's okay?" He gently stroked the girl's hair, but Zanze took away the hand on his head, stared at him intently, and asked softly:

"You are obviously the same and different from Lady Celia... You are so close to us, and you will not be able to do it in the future. Will you be lonely?"

"....Speaking of which, a long time ago, someone said something similar to you?" He lowered his eyes in distress, and after much worry, he came to a conclusion: "It seems to be the ancestor of Fren?"

"Really? But....Looking at you like this, it seems that you don't remember much about her?"

"....I still remember some of her." He muttered the answer, but held up Zanze's face with a smile, and said confidently:

"But it's okay, I will remember Zanze's things from the beginning to the end."

"You are talking about... my last, right?"

Zanze didn't know what to say, but just lowered his eyes with a little loneliness.

The topic suddenly fell into silence.

There was no way, Zanze was not good at chatting, and even Ash was not good at this topic, and even stopped in distress, and wanted to touch his hair.

After a long time, Zanze, who was always used to avoiding problems with silence, took the initiative to break the silence:

"I'm sorry... You have always been very gentle to me at critical moments, but... I seem to be a little too willful without paying attention."

"How could it be... It's better to say that you can take the initiative to break it, which is a kind of growth."

While speaking, he smiled and squinted his eyes, gestured at the girl's head, and said thoughtfully: "You are indeed a little taller than before?"

"... Maybe so?"

Zanze nodded vaguely.

Then the previous conversation seemed to be forgotten by the two of them, and they regained the warm atmosphere of the past.

The trivial matters were interwoven into after-dinner conversations.

Until the night fell and the stars twinkled, Ash reluctantly said goodbye to this place.

After all, he would never stay overnight at a girl's house casually...especially when the other party's elders were still there, otherwise, he would also like to try it.

On the terrace, the girl watched his figure gradually disappearing and gradually blending into the boundless night. Zanze's heart had returned to tranquility, but as the surroundings returned to emptiness again, the usual loneliness was quietly replaced by an inexplicable loneliness for some reason.

Like a meteor across the sky, it finally disappeared in the vast night sky, but left behind an indescribable loneliness and reluctance.

This made her inexplicably concerned about the traces left by Ash, and she always felt that the warmth seemed to still remain in her hair.

Especially the gentle touch that gently stroked her head, which made her involuntarily raise her hand and touch the ends of her hair, as if to confirm whether the warmth still existed.

..............................

..............................

Not far from Zanze's home.

At a dark corner, Ash unexpectedly saw Yubel, who was leaning forward with his hands behind his back and smiling, with a malicious smile on his face.

A girl with a side ponytail suddenly appeared in the darkness. Although she was a beautiful girl,... her smile was really a bit strange.

"... I saw it. You are not secretly discussing with Zanze, trying to cheat or something?" Before he spoke, Yubel smiled evilly and gave a strange guess.

".... Do you think I need to do this?" He slapped her head without thinking, pressed her down, and walked quickly in front.

"Just kidding, I'm just curious about what your relationship is?"

".... Zanze is my junior."

"When you came, your relationship seemed very good~ Are you really just juniors?" Yubel was full of curiosity and followed him quickly.

"I didn't say we were just juniors. After all, we have known each other for more than ten years."

"More than ten years? You have known each other for quite a while, right?"

"Well... it was by chance that we got to know each other better? So we are the juniors with the best relationship."

Ash didn't mind. Under the curious questioning of the girl who deliberately asked in a roundabout way, he casually talked about how they met, and just like that, accompanied by this strange girl, he headed towards home.

Although he actually wanted to complain, what was this guy doing here all the time? Could it be that he had been squatting there for a day...If it was Yubel, then it was indeed possible.

And they chatted casually like this, and soon they returned home, but at this time, Fulilian and Fern had already fallen asleep.

Although Yubel obviously wanted to enter his room and continue to ask about his past, he closed the door with his backhand, making her feel rejected, and her nose was almost hit by the door.

But Ash himself just lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and worrying about what Zanze said... and he couldn't sleep all night.

But it was okay, his energy was strong enough, even if he didn't sleep all night, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

And before dawn, he quickly left home and temporarily avoided Fern and Flillian.

He just wandered around the city for a while, played with a lost child in the park for a while, and sent the child home.

After doing all this, he still went to the Magic Association.

But as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he saw the high platform outside the gate above, and the energetic girl with orange twin ponytails, like a puppy, Connie, was lying on the guardrail of the high platform.

When he subconsciously looked up and met her eyes, although Connie seemed inexplicably embarrassed, she still raised her hand... and waved at him.

After walking up the steps, he leaned against the railing of the platform, glanced at the girl beside him who seemed a little uncomfortable because of his presence, and took the initiative to speak:

"What are you doing here?"

"Actually, I'm waiting for Rabinie... Then we'll go to thank Fulilian later, play with Fern... or something?"

"Really? It's really youthful, you have to get along well?" Hearing this, Ash couldn't help but chuckle, and touched her hair.

Connie didn't resist, but shrank back as if it was a little itchy:

"I always feel... Uncle is always like this, likes to touch other people's hair..."

"After all, I can't touch your belly in public, right?"

"Ha, ha? - Normally, even if there's no one around, it's not okay!!"

Connie was startled by the inexplicably regretful remarks, and shrank back to the side, his face flushed.

"....I just said that, it's impossible to touch her, right? And the only place you can touch a girl is her head... Well, I think I said this before?"

"...Is there no option to not touch her?"

"The sense of distance between people is the same as the physical distance, so I will only touch those who want to get closer."

"I always feel that I can accept it and I can't accept it..."

Probably accepted it, this slightly subtle statement, Connie was troubled for a moment, and stood next to him again, but she still looked a little wary, as if she was afraid that he would touch her belly.

This made him laugh, but he just patted her head and took out a candy from his pocket: "...Eat it?"

"...I'm not a child." Although he complained like this, Connie still took it and asked in confusion: "Why does the uncle carry candy?"

"Just now, a child kept crying, so I bought some...It would be a waste to throw away the extra ones, so I carried them with me." He looked at the book in his hand again and answered without looking back.

"....Do you really think I'm a child?" Connie muttered depressedly, but still peeled off the shell and put the candy in his mouth, letting the sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue, but quietly leaned sideways to lean towards him, just looking at the book in his hand from the side, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle, are you waiting for someone too?"

"I didn't make an appointment with anyone today, but you must be bored waiting for someone here alone, right? So I'll accompany you for a while before Rabinie shows up."

"Hey~Uncle is quite gentle~"

"I've always said this...You don't believe it yourself."

"I believe it now~" A smile appeared on the girl's face unconsciously.

The two just leaned on each other and chatted on the guardrail... Although most of the time they were listening to Cony complaining about Labine, she was very happy and Ash listened quietly.

And it didn't take long...the familiar silver-haired girl appeared from under the steps.

.............................

.............................

I made an appointment with Fa Xiao in front of the Magic Association and came to attend the meeting. At this time, I was still in a good mood.

But when Rabine saw that an outsider named Ashi also appeared here, the expression on her face froze for a moment:

"....Why are you here too?"

"I'm just accompanying Kang Ni..." Ya Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at this girl who always seemed to be angry. He said calmly: "Your attitude towards your elders is too bad anyway." ? How about a little respect for your elders?"

"Of course I respect my elders, but the prerequisite is that the elders deserve respect."

She was actually fine with others, but when facing Ash... Rabine's tone always had a strong smell of gunpowder.

But now that things have happened, Ash doesn't have any extravagant hopes that this girl can easily change her attitude towards him, so he just lowers his head and reads the book in his hand as if he is used to it.

It was this attitude that made Rabine couldn't help but step hard on the floor tiles, came to his side and said displeasedly:

"....What? After being said like this, shouldn't you retort something?"

"Trouble, forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you."

"You guys... are so infuriating~!"

Hitting a soft nail made Rabine so angry that she stamped her feet.

Connet walked forward and said with a sneer: "S-Speaking of which...are you cuter than usual, Rabine~?"

"....This dress?"

Rabine pulled up her skirt slightly with a depressed look.

Different from the blue gothic lolita outfit she wore during the exam, she was now wearing a pure white dress.

The white dress and light blue short jacket are cleverly combined, the colors are fresh and elegant, and a white sun hat with a blue flowing ribbon is worn on the head, giving people the feeling of a breeze in the early summer morning.

Overall, it seems that she is more gentle and noble than a noble lady in the past. Unfortunately... her actual personality is more straightforward and she behaves like a boy.

"I'm afraid I can only act like a young lady if I don't speak." Ashi also observed for a moment and couldn't help but muttered.

"Did you say something?" Rabine, who had an inexplicably sharp ear, heard his muttering and couldn't help but cast a sideways glance.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I don't suit you."

"Do you think I'm willing? I hope it's not because my three brothers came back from the imperial capital with a lot of strange clothes, and my mother was also very interested... She directly asked the maid to change them for me."

"That's great, Miss."

"...Don't think I don't know, you are actually a powerful person, right? My grandfather asked me to be polite to you, and my eldest brother also hopes that I can have a good relationship with you."

His casual words were directly met with a retort from the girl as if she was gritting her teeth.

But he didn't care, he just whispered to himself:

"Is it the imperial capital? It seems that your family has had a lot of connections with the empire in the past."
