This is a heartwarming tale of everyday reincarnation, and Fran is growing along the way.
PLEASE DO READ THE TAGS CAREFULLY!
Fran (6 years old), a villainous noble, remembers his past life while laughing out loud.
To escape from a tough future, he v...
Wiping my tear-streaked and runny nose with my sleeve, I wonder why this secret passage is so pitch dark. It's so scary! There are plenty of light spells, so why not install some?
I've traveled through the hidden passage in the mansion and arrived at an empty church. When I push open the entrance, I'm greeted by bright daylight.

"Hey, Mugger-kun!"
"Don't call me that!"
There, sitting on the partially collapsed outer wall of the church, is the button-snatching Mugger-kun from before.
He's one of those rare encounters, and I'm thrilled to meet someone. I wave enthusiastically.
"Long time no see! What are you up to? Having your free time?"
"Wow, you're completely lacking in caution, aren't you? And you're quite rude. Anyway, here..."
Mugger-kun extends his fist toward me.
"What's this?"
"...button. I'm returning it."
"Oh, it's from my clothes."
In my palm lies a white button. Brother Sevran once told me it's made from some exquisite shell material.
He took about four of them, but he returned three.
Huh? Didn't Mugger-kun say he needed this for buying medicine?
"You don't need it anymore?"
...Oh no! D-don't tell me, the-there's no way, the person didn't make it...?!
"What's with that expression? They're safe. Well, it turns out the boss around here changed, and the medicine is cheaper now. As for this button, it was quite valuable."
"Yeah, it's made from some shell that sticks to a Gon's horn."
"I get it; you don't remember anything. But listen..."
"Hmm?"
"...I sold one, but I promise to compensate for it someday. Thanks to you, I am saved, and I'm grateful."
"Got it! No problem!"
"Hahaha! You're really easy, you know."
It's a relief that someone I don't even know was saved. If the buttons are no longer needed, I'll take them back. Maybe Kitty can fix my clothes with them. As I rummage through my pocket, Mugger-kun stares at me intently.
"What? Are you still thinking about mugging me?"
"Of course not!"
He responded loudly. Compared to the delinquents from my past life, Mugger-kun seems harmless, so I'm not scared.
