Kotori frowned at the girl’s response.

“You… Don’t know me,” She asked.

Deliah only tilted her head and put a finger on her chin.

“Mhmm, I don’t believe so” She eventually said after thing for a moment.

“Kotori… I don’t think she’s lying” Amelie said, nudging Kotori out of her shock.

“I agree,” Umi said butting.

“Ah! I know” Deliah said her face lighting up

“Yes?” Kotori asked

“You’re my mother!”

Kotori felt herself making a Tsukkomi face at Deliah’s response.

“No… I’m not your mother”

“Oh,” Deliah said as disappointment shadowed her face. “I’m truly sorry, but I don’t think we’ve ever met in my life.”

[This doesn’t seem right] Kotori thought. While the figure in front of her looked like Deliah it was a much younger figure, she looked like an aged-down version of Deliah who was around the same age as Kotori.

[Status]

Nameless

Race: [Moon Elf Spirit] Age: 0

HP: 80

Mana: 80

Agility: 80

Strength: 80

Defense: 80

Skills: [8 Trigram], [Form Manifestation]

[This.. isn’t Deliah] Kotori thought

Based on the stats of the spirit in front of her, she had begun to realize that the figure in front of her could not be called “Deliah”.

“Excuse me miss, who are you? also, I apologize but do you mind telling me who I am?”

Kotori’s thoughts were interrupted by spirit.

[I see, This isn’t Deliah anymore] Kotori thought.

It seemed like although she was able to preserve Deliah’s spirit it had fundamentally changed her being. She was no longer a moon elf and hadn’t retained any of her memory. Kotori quickly made up a backstory in her mind for the spirit.

“I’m your sister, and your name is… Byaku”

Kotori used the character for “white” as a result of Deliah’s hair color and her skin.

Byaku gave a large smile “That sounds right! Thanks for reminding Onee-chan!”

“Err Kotori-” Umi said uncertainly

[Shut up] Kotori mentally told her, Umi instantly closed her mouth in response

“Why did it sound right?” Kotori asked the girl.

“Well, when I looked at you it felt familiar… and a little comfy” Deliah said her pale face turning slightly red.

[So, she hasn’t forgotten everything] Kotori thought.

While she was under the impression that Byaku had forgotten everything from her past life it seemed like Kotori had made an impression on her soul.

[Actually… that’s what happened to Lala’s father no?] Kotori thought being reminded of the memory sequence she was shown by Okateratsu.

Lala’s father had been so struck by Okateratsu that his soul was still reminded of her despite reincarnating.

[But I didn’t cause her to reincarnate… right?] Kotori thought.

She scanned the spirit in front of her. Kotori had managed to use [Authority] to link Deliah’s soul to herself but she didn’t believe that was enough to trigger reincarnation. Such a thing was only something angelic or godly spirits could do.
