"Good morning. I look forward to working with you today."
"Oh, good morning. I hope I can find you today."

While I was having breakfast in the dining room, Theodore-sama came in while still yawning sleepily and took a seat across from me.

"You look very sleepy. Have you been awake for a while after that?"
"Well, the stars were beautiful."

As I sat down, Master Theodor answered my question while putting his mouth to the cup of tea that had been prepared earlier.

"I had a little thought after talking with Theodore yesterday."
"what?"

Having already finished my breakfast and drinking tea after dinner, I placed the cup on the table and stared intently at Theodore-sama.
Master Theodor turned his gaze to me while spreading butter on the bread.

“When I was young, Theodore-sama was very close to me, wasn’t he?”
"... If anything, it's like I was helped."
"helped?"
"No, nothing. So?"

In response to my question, Master Theodor shook his head left and right and urged me to continue.

“Yeah. It's about that."
"Oh, don't worry too much."

Theodore-sama probably sincerely thinks that it's really okay if I don't remember.
Although he speaks in a light tone, his words exude a feeling of consideration for others.

However, there may be parts that are not visible due to their kindness.
If only Theodore-sama had rushed to help me after I died, just like the scene he saw in that forest...
Something might have happened between me and Theodore-sama in the past.

"I regret that I don't remember. If I did, I might have created more different memories and relationships."
“I also like the relationship we have now. Before, I didn’t know how to treat each other properly. .
That's what I thought I did."
"Isn't it a shame?"
“I remember or forget.
Now you and I are talking like this, right? So we can have a nice conversation. Isn't that enough? "

Theodore seemed surprised by my statement for a moment, and his eyes widened with a surprised expression. But he immediately gave me a friendly smile.

"Is that so?"
"That's how it is. If you forget it, you can make it from scratch. New memories and relationships."

Do you want to start over from 1?
Theodore-sama is a truly mysterious person.

Even though he doesn't remember the last time like I do, he still says things that make me feel at ease.
like now.

"I'll start over...as long as I have life."
"Ah, that's right. Even if you can't follow the same path, there is a possibility that you can connect from a different path."

My life has changed a lot since I was 15.
In the past, just before I was promoted to the 3rd year of magic academy... it was around the time when I started going mad with jealousy towards the saint.

But now I have made a contract with Kuro and made new friends.
My relationship with His Highness is completely different from before.
And with Theodore.

Before, I had little contact with them, but now I can talk to them on a friendly basis.

It's not the same path as before, but I'm sure I can move forward.
Even if you can't live everything correctly in the future, you can still change the future as much as you want depending on your actions and choices.

This is what Theodore-sama taught me once again.

"Thank you, Theodore-sama."
"Haha, nice to meet you"
