Chapter 3: The Hidden Boss Reveals the Secret of Her Past Life

Night had fallen, and the long day was coming to an end. After promising Lemn that I would explain things to him later, we parted ways. This was my own, entirely selfish request; I wanted to tell Patrick about my past first.

The lights were off in my room, and the space was instead illuminated by the moonlight pouring in through the window. Patrick hovered beside me as I sat in a chair and gazed at the moon.

“You must be tired after everything that happened today,” he soothed. “You can just tell me another—”

I sighed. “It’s okay. I need to tell you now. It’s only going to get harder the more I wait.”

I’ve hidden it all this time. I’ve never told anyone else. But now’s the time. I have to tell him. The day has finally come: Patrick will learn about my past life, where I come from, and the truth of my identity. He might not believe me—he might even reject me. Those kinds of thoughts have kept me from telling anyone about my reincarnation until now. Patrick will believe me, though, surely he will accept the truth about me.

“I have memories of my past life,” I began, speaking more confidently than I had expected. “I have memories of being born into a different world, living there, dying there...and then being reborn as Yumiella.”

“Reborn... What do you mean by a ‘different world?’ Is it a parallel world, like Lemn was talking about?”

“Not a parallel world, it’s more like an otherworld. Lemn likened parallel worlds to different branches on a tree, so if we stick to that metaphor, an otherworld would be an entirely different tree with its own roots. The laws of the world, the shape of the continents, even the history of the human race is completely different. The world I lived in didn’t even have magic.”

“You didn’t have magic? That’s... I can’t even imagine what that must be like.”

“From my perspective, the fact that magic exists at all is way weirder.”

“Isn’t it inconvenient to not have magic?”

“We have science...pieces of technology that are similar to magical instruments, so things were actually more convenient in that world.”

Huh? It’s nice that we’re having a pretty normal conversation, but isn’t he accepting all of this too easily? He doesn’t seem particularly surprised. This isn’t what I expected at all.

“Um, aren’t you suspicious of this, Patrick?” I asked. “I feel like this all must sound completely absurd.”

“If anything, I feel like a lot of things make sense now. For example, now that I know that your, um, uniqueness, comes from your being from an otherworld, I understand it now.”

“Oh, that’s fair.” I nodded, pleased with this explanation. “That might be why I’m a bit strange. What’s considered common sense probably varies wildly between different worlds.”

“I’m sure you’re right,” Patrick said, giving me a sympathetic look. “It seems like you lived through a difficult world, but this world is relatively safe.
