The rest of the day passed seemingly peacefully.
However, my heart was not at peace.
I know.
I know that the apostles are not such righteous people.
And then I remembered.
My hatred for the apostle.
That apostle is not dead.
There’s nothing I can do.
And what happened to the other children?
They all died together.
But what if I’m the only one reincarnated and living like this without any problems?
What if the other children were born again into a criminal organization?
" "
What if they were suffering from hunger or disease?
It’s not fair.
But I don’t know if that’s really the case.
◆◇◆◇◆
One day, when I was lost and worried all by myself, a thought I had been holding back leaked out.
It was when my family was talking about the righteousness and greatness of the apostles.
“Are the apostles so great?”
I said it in a rejecting way.
I could see the people around me freeze at once because of it.
Oh no …… It was too late to think so.
The people around me were looking at me with accusing eyes.
I looked fearfully at my most important brother.
He had a look on his face that said, “How could I possibly know that?”
I was so relieved, but then my father yelled at me.
“You’re a person from the Scala family! You can’t say anything that would make you look like you’re doubting the Lord Apostles! Are you trying to destroy our family!”
I understand what my father is saying.
But I can’t praise the Apostle.
But I’m being provided for.
I can’t let my willpower get in the way …….
I was about to apologize when I heard …… my brother’s voice.
“Father. I think it’s not bad to try to know what you don’t know.”
He helped me again.
“Do you even know what you’re saying!”
My father is going towards my brother.
" "
Ah! He’s going to hit him!
It’s my fault.
I have to stop him.
However, my brother opened his mouth calmly.
“I’m trying to learn more about their greatness. Don’t you think that would make them much greater than those who only praise them?”
My father stopped in his tracks.
He says it with a clear face, but he definitely doesn’t mean it.
I know because I’ve been watching my brother for a long time.
My father can’t be mad at him for saying this.
“You really are …….”
My father was puzzled.
Once he had raised his voice, he could not immediately retract his anger.
My brother looked at him with sparkling eyes.
“I don’t know how hard father is working to protect the family. But I feel that it’s hard, just like a child. So I want to know more about them and help father.”
Only I could tell that he was acting.
Even if my father knew it was an act, he would realize that my brother was making a point.
And that he have no choice but to lower his raised fist.
“U- …… Umu, but there are a lot of people who will pry unnecessarily. Both of you be careful in the future.”
My brother and I responded honestly.
And my brother gave me a wink.
I wanted to return the wink, but my heart was beating too fast for me to do so.
I wondered who my brother was.
I wonder if there’s a child that could do such a thing on the spur of the moment.
There is no such thing as a child who has the courage to act in such a calculated way …… who can calm people’s anger, and who can even prepare a response.
Then, suddenly, I felt a light shining on me.
I thought, what if my brother is a reincarnated person like me.
It was just a random thought, but I was sure of it.
It made me feel very warm inside and made me very happy.
I am not alone after all.
My brother is there for me.
And I wanted to know my brother better than anyone else.
He had gone from being a special person to being the only important person in the world.
I know that we are brother and sister.
But my memories of my previous life are mixed up, so I can’t help but see my brother as a man.
I couldn’t help this feeling.
The rest of the day passed seemingly peacefully.
However, my heart was not at peace.

I know that the apostles are not such righteous people.
