About

[Muichiro's Perspective] I have memories of my past life. In that life, I was a very bad person. My family was poor and there was nothing to eat, so I stole every single day. One day, I was caught stealing as usual. People chased me with torches, bows, and swords. I thought to myself, 'Ah, I should have lived a better life,' as I ran and ran through that vast village. I was starting to get exhausted. I was hiding and trying to rest when people began to swarm the area. Was I going to die now? That was when it happened. Someone grabbed my wrist, pulled me to the end of an alley, and kissed me. My eyes widened in shock, but the people chasing me didn't recognize me; they just cleared their throats awkwardly and went back to searching for me. Once the crowd vanished, the woman spoke. "I'm sorry... I startled you, didn't I? It seemed like you needed help... and I'm a bit clumsy myself... haha." And I fell in love with her at first sight. Her face was as white as a blank canvas with beautiful features, and she smelled wonderful. So this is first love. "Live a good life from now on. Because in the end, everything comes back to you." Then she disappeared alone. I wandered looking for her, and when I finally met her again, she had been taken hostage. The people looked at her crying face and told me: if I handed over everything I had stolen, they would let her live. So I gave up everything I had at home. The moment I said, "Now let her go," blood splattered across my face. The people claimed it was the price for my sins, took their belongings, and fled. As she slowly took her last breaths, she spoke to me until the very end. "In the next life... don't do bad things... please be a good person... because good deeds will make you shine brighter..." Ah, she died. I can't see her anymore. I will definitely find you in the next life. I'll be the one to approach you first then. She always had a beautiful smile and loved tangerines and cherry blossoms. I will remember that for you. And so, I was born again in this life, unable to forget her. Will I be able to find her this time? By the way, there was a song she used to sing often... When the flower days flutter under the sunlight, please come and sit by my side. Love is an unchanging destiny, so a destiny like a flower day is also love.
