I don't remember...
From what I just said, Anna was able to understand that all of Ann's memory had disappeared.

“Are you an acquaintance of Mr. Rachelle?”
"No... It's okay, I'm sorry for asking something strange."

Anna-san looked at me curiously and asked a question, but I felt thirsty and took a sip of the tea in front of me.

"I interrupted the conversation. Now, please eat."
“Thank you.

I feel lonely.
Anne in Anna was a person who struggled to live her life without giving up, regardless of how she did it.
The feeling of loss for her disappearing as if she never existed vainly remains in my heart.
As the only person who knew her in what she called "this world".

Still, it seems that Anna herself has not changed.
Ann's soul and Anna's are surely the same, so there must be a fragment of Ann's left in Anna herself.

While telling myself so, I smiled at Anna-san.
Anna nodded at my words, and when she stuffed her mouth with manjou, her eyes widened and she let out an unintentional "delicious..." voice.

Like Anna, I took a manju, which was explained to be the one with cream in my hand, and took a bite.
Then, the sweetness of the custard cream inside the fluffy skin made my cheeks relax involuntarily.
Because it's cream, it goes very well with black tea. Straight black tea neutralizes the sweet cream and leaves your mouth feeling refreshed.
If I remember correctly, Samuel said that a different kind of tea would go well with Anko, but it wasn't consumed in this country, and as expected, Samuel had never made tea. He said that the same tea leaves can be used to make other types of tea besides black tea, but I don't know the details.

Even so, this manju sweets.
It looks round and cute, but it's very easy to eat and delicious.

"It's true! It's really delicious. I think I'll try the anko next time...
Oh? Ms. Anna? "

I raise my head as there is no response from Anna-san.
Then Anna stared at Manju in a daze.

"Anna? What's wrong?"

As if she didn't hear my question, Anna-san's eyes were pouring with tears as she stared intently at Manju.
It wasn't just me who was surprised by that, but Anna herself looked up as if she didn't know why her tears were overflowing.

"Why...why are my tears..."
"Is there something wrong? Is it hurting somewhere? What's wrong?"
"No, umm... when I was eating this candy, naturally..."
"Manjou?"
"It feels like I ate it somewhere...it tastes nostalgic."

nostalgic?
Do you feel that it resembles the taste of your memories?

Anna wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but she still couldn't stop crying.
Large tears emerged from her big eyes and disappeared into a handkerchief.

"...I've eaten this before..."

Muttering softly, Anna-san placed a handkerchief on her lap, held a manju with another bean paste in her hand, stared intently at it, and then took a bite.
Then, Anna-san, who had a surprised expression as if she had noticed something, stood up on the spot as if she was in a hurry.

"Ah, Anna?"
"Rachel-san!"
"Yes"
"Um, the person from earlier! The person from earlier!?"
"A little while ago? ... Um, who is it? By any chance, about Samuel?"

Anna stood up vigorously, turned her big yellow eyes in my direction, and asked with urgency.
Pushed by that momentum, I replied, and I could see that he only moved his mouth, "Samuel?"
