After reaching the desk on the second floor, the three of us sat down.
Then Nanahoshi handed Rudeus a slip of paper. I didn't see what was written on it.
But it was probably close to what I guessed. Then the two of them started chatting in Japanese in front of me.
Of course, I couldn't join in at all. I could only vaguely make out that they were probably asking where the other was from. But since you're both speaking Japanese, where else could you be from?
Then they asked about their names in their past lives and such.
It's probably because Nanahoshi thought Rudy might be the boyfriend who almost got hit by a car with her before she crossed over.
After everything ended, Rudy said something to me in Japanese, but I didn't understand. Nanahoshi translated for me.
"He's asking you if you're also a reincarnator, and also how you crossed over." Nanahoshi said this in the human language. Of course, Rudy heard it too.
"Rudy, I am also a reincarnator, but I'm not Japanese. So I don't understand your conversation. However, I also come from Earth; I'm Chinese. I was hit by a truck while traveling in Japan and came to this world, so I should be in the same state as you. It was a soul reincarnation, not the whole body crossing over."
Rudy seemed to suddenly realize something and replied:
"Oh, no wonder. I thought before, Dorin, that you sometimes use a lot of Idioms when you speak. I was surprised before because I've basically never seen anyone use those Idioms in this world. Now I understand."
"Rudy, Nanahoshi and I are currently researching how to return to Earth. Do you want to join us?"
This sentence made Rudy a bit excited. He replied with an overreaction:
"No, I don't want to go back to Earth. I think this world is quite good. I don't want to go back."
Seeing him so excited, Nanahoshi was a bit displeased. Perhaps she felt that Rudy might not be on the same path as her.
"Rudy, there's no need to be so excited. My physical body on Earth should already be dead, so I probably have no chance of returning. But Nanahoshi is different; she was teleported directly."
"Currently, her body is exactly the same as it was on Earth. So my intention is to help her return. If there's enough time, I want her to bring the words I want to say to my family on Earth, that's all."
Rudy looked a bit awkward.
"My family on Earth... they probably all want me dead. I doubt anyone cares if I'm alive or not. So I probably don't have any words to bring them. Also, I was probably hit by a truck, so my body should be dead too. But I can still help."
Although Rudy said that, since Nanahoshi heard that Rudy had no lingering feelings for Earth, she didn't ask for his help anymore. After all, as long as someone provides mana, whether it's me or Rudy doesn't make much difference to her.
"No need. You should just live happily in this other world."
Although it was a meeting of fellow countrymen, it ended on a bit of a sour note. It was a bit awkward.
Actually, Rudy probably saved Nanahoshi's life in his past life, but Rudy was unwilling to say that he was the fat guy who pushed them out of the way of the truck.
So the matter was dropped.
