A Reincarnated Mage's Tower Dungeon Management-Volume 6, Chapter 2 – Belle’s Memory

――kon, kon.

When I reached Belle’s room, I knocked on the door, a thing that I don’t usually do.

“Yes, coming~”

I heard Carol’s reply from the inside. As soon as she opened the door,

“Yo, how’s Belle doing?”

“Ara~, Gilles-san? I thought it was another person because of the knock.”

“Well, it’s that because I usually see more interesting things when I don’t”

For example, being in the middle of changing, being caught in awkward positions, or even masturbating while calling out my name. you know, the usual cliché.

“Ufufu, finally recovered I see, now that you’re back to your usual self. If Gilles-san is thinking what I’m thinking when you said interesting things, I don’t mind showing one you know? Like how I please myself when I‘m alone”

I imagined Carol’s figure as she masturbates.

Those words made me ogle at Carol’s figure unconsciously, making something beneath my pants rise up.

She is one hell of a licentious maid, so it has to be quite intense.

Whoops, that was close. I almost lost my purpose of coming here.

“Is Belle still sleeping?”

“Ara~, so ogling your onee-san with such indecent eyes wasn’t enough?”

Carol tempted me while swaying her alluring body.

“That’s for another time. For now, I want to ask Belle’s conditions first and foremost.”

“Ufufu, aah, Gilles-san rejected me~. Meanie. Here, come inside~”

Carol then lead me towards Belle in a smooth and practiced fashion, perfect for a maid.

“She has slept some time ago, so I think she’ll wake up with a little stimulation. She’s quite sensitive after all. Want to try it?”

Goodness. Why does everything that she says sound so erotic?”

Just where is the elegance that her name should possess? She should rename herself to Slut instead!

“……Stop with the innuendos already and wake Belle up.”

“Okaaaay~. Belle-sama? Belle-sama~? Time to wake up”

After Carol shook her body, Belle, who just opened her eyes slightly, stretched out her back like a cat.

“Belle-sama, Gilles-sama is here to see you”

“――Eh, Gilles woke up!?” ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

As soon as Belle heard my name, she jolted up and looked around restlessly as if her sleepiness earlier was just a joke.

“Yo, Belle. As you can see, I’m still alive and kicking”

I flexed my arm and showed my biceps.

“Gilles! I’m really worriedー!!”

I was hugged with a flying momentum.

Elisa was the first, and now it’s Belle. Is it a trend these days to jump at me upon seeing me recovered? They should be gentle for goodness sake!

Well, that aside, I felt relieved that Belle is still the same as usual.

“It’s amazing that this thing in my arms is the same Demon Lord who has the power to destroy the world, even though she’s just a cute girl in front of me.”

Meanwhile, while still in her embrace, Belle is sniffing my scent in her arms as if to confirm my presence. But after hearing my quote,

“nnfufu, it’s natural that I’m cute, don’t you agree?”

“……yeah. You are really cute”

She said it while brimming with confidence. Honestly, it really suits her.

“Rather than that, I want to have an important conversation with Gilles. So, Carol, can you leave us alone for a moment?”

Bell turned her head and told to Carol, who was awaiting orders nearby.

“As you wish, Belle-sama”

She nodded and obediently left the room without any questions.

A few minutes passed after that, but Belle still didn’t leave my shoulder.

“What’s wrong, Belle? Still worrying that I would escape from your grasp? I’m not going anywhere.”

“………ufufufu, with this, we can finally be together, just the two of us”

The tone of Belle’s voice changed all of a sudden.

More than that, I felt something bugging me upon hearing it.

Her stare and the atmosphere that she’s giving off, how should I put this…… it felt like she’s some kind of female high school student back in Japan.

But as if not caring at my hesitation, Belle in my arms just smiled sweetly while being shy.

That smile, just where did I ――

“I remembered a bit of my memory before I was sealed.”

Memory before she was sealed?

Is that the reason why my grandmother had to seal Belle here? Or why the 101st floor was sealed?

“Is that why you are feeling a bit different right now? if so, how do you feel?”

I don’t want to hear that she wants to destroy the world once more because she has regained a bit of her memory.

“Well, more than fine, I guess? Because……I have found out that I have been madly in love with Gilles for a very, very long time”

“……that, what kind of confession was that?”

I couldn’t comprehend on what this girl is saying.

She said that she recalled a bit of her memory before she was sealed.

And yet, she’s saying that she had loved me since that time.

――the consistency didn’t match at all.

Perhaps I have been reincarnated before living in Japan?

Was I living in this world as another person and met Belle before I reincarnated as Gilles Bain?

――But I don’t have any memories of that.

“You really didn’t know, huh. I’m actually a reincarnated person from Japan, the same as Gilles”

“――, what did you just say!?”

I was surprised that Belle said that she was also a reincarnated person, the same as me.

But how did she found out that I was a reincarnated person like her?

“That face, you’re wondering how I found it, right? You see, when we were caught in that rampaging whirlpool of magic, I saw a glimpse of the true soul of Gilles, along with the memories of my old days.”

She said she just seen my soul? Belle has begun to say outrageous things.

“At that time, I had found out that you weren’t a true resident of this world, and I also remembered that I had met Gilles when I was in Japan.”

Certainly, since she showed me that book where the conditions of opening the mystery floor was contained, I have always thought that there would be other reincarnated people other than me.

But it never crossed my mind that it was the very Demon Lord itself.

I was so stunned that words couldn’t get out of my mouth.

“……it was really like a fairy tale. Two people joining arms even to a different world. If it isn’t fate, then I don’t know what it is anymore”

Belle sweetly smiled while feeling shy again.

“My real name is Tachibana Akari”

――Tachibana Akari.

I feel like I have heard it somewhere. I definitely met Tachibana Akari when I was still in Japan.

It’s because after hearing that name, I felt warm and full of nostalgia.

But beyond that, I can only remember vague memories of my time in Japan.

I still remember vividly the moment when I died, but the memories of my childhood have been blurred out in the recent years.

My parents often transfer when they work, so I didn’t have any decent friends.

“……though there is the feeling of familiarity, I couldn’t remember anything”

Her expression became sad all of a sudden. Was it that important to her?

“It’s been two decades since I’ve been reincarnated. The memories of my old days were very vague now”

Even so, she was probably an important friend, seeing her grieving reaction. I felt an intense guilt from it.

“Well, as I still don’t remember everything, I guess we’re even for now”

She said so as she laughed bashfully in the same way as a while ago. Then, she brought her face close to my ear.

“However, what I remembered clearly is that, when I was in Japan, I loved Gilles very, very much.”

“……i-is that so?”

During sex, Belle has repeatedly told me that she like me for god knows how many times.

But today, she saying she love me with a bashful look on her face, even I felt embarrassed with that.

“Now that we have found ourselves as similarly reincarnated individuals, with our relationship more than just acquaintances to boot, what should I call you now? Belle or Akari?”

As I was still confused by the sudden confession, I tried to say it out loud to sort our current situation for the time being.

“Why would you call me by my old name? I had arrived as Belle in this world. Plus, it’s a pain to explain about us being reincarnated and such to everyone.”

“Ah, yeah, you’re right”

Despite my mixed feelings and confusion, Belle proceeded the talk smoothly.

“And here is the main subject. I had remembered what was on the 101st floor.”

“Is that true!?”

“However, the only thing I could remember is that someone important to me was sleeping in there”

Well color me surprised. To think that it was a person who was sealed inside, I thought it was some kind of dangerous item related to the Demon Lord.

“However, I don’t know who it was or why she was sealed”

The mystery only deepened further.

Though we were trying to solve the seal out of curiosity, is it really safe to set that person free?

What if she’s the real Demon Lord, and not Belle?

Even though this Demon Lord here possesses extraordinary magic powers, she’s also extraordinarily ditzy that she could fall into her own traps.

If she’s a Demon Lord stronger than Belle, we may not be able to do anything by ourselves, even if we team up.

While I was working out my head thinking about the dangers that will come ahead upon breaking the seal,

“Gilles, you’re making a troubled face once gain. Are you thinking that the person sealed on the 101st floor might be dangerous?”

“……………”

Belle’s predictions were too on point that I couldn’t even refute.

“It’s all right. While I couldn’t remember the details, I know that she’s not a dangerous person.”

If Belle says that much, the I could only hope to believe.

I’m also somewhat interested in meeting people who are important to Belle.

“Maybe a beautiful woman at the same level as Belle may come out. Can I expect that?“

If it’s the case, then I’m very good to go.

“Of course, but before that I want you to help me collect points, together once more……”

Belle looked up at me with upturned eyes.

“You don’t have to look that worried. I’ll be lying if I said I wasn’t interested this. Now that it we have done it all midway, let’s finish this together and witness it at the very end.”

Right now, I don’t have the intentions on leaving this all-you-can-eat tower filled with heavenly-beautiful women.

“……Thank you. Gilles, come here”

After feeling relieved of my answer, she pulled my hand, then forced me to sit in a chair.

“Isn’t it better for us to acquire points immediately?”

While I was sitting on the chair, Belle who then sat on my lap afterwards said to me with a flushed face.

“What’s wrong now, getting embarrassed like that. It’s different from the usual you”

“It’s because when I got my memory back, I became fonder of Gilles. Besides, for Akari, this is her first sex with Gilles Bain. Be gentle, alright?”

Belle quietly closed her eyes after that.

“…………”

It was coming from the same Demon Lord whom I savagely loved and did hardcore plays with her tough body. For the very demon lord to be requesting to be treated a cute princess, it was really surprising.

Though the previous Belle that I knew had piled up a lot of experience that it made her resistance to this go higher, the Belle right now looked like an innocent girl that is having her fist time.

It was a mysterious feeling, but then, I was also filled with desires to train her once again.

“Of course, and I’ll make sure you’ll never forget it, no matter how may times we’ll reincarnate. Come here. I’ll teach you once again the taste of Gilles Bain, Akari”
