Chapter 18 - Accidental memories

The coffee shop they went into was an old-fashioned fair-sized house made of stone. The inside interior was comfortable to look at, not too fancy. Servers came almost as soon as they were called. Olivia asked for a green tea, Johnson wanted a black coffee, while Thomas asked for an espresso. Both Olivia and Thomas sit awkwardly in silence. Johnson seeing them both blushing was quite happy. He knew that this kid is abnormally powerful. And if he could leave his daughter someday in hands of someone as capable as Thomas, her life would be easy. At the same time, Olivia was too embarrassed to even look at Thomas, she wanted to touch his cat ears. Not only his face is handsome, but his mutation looks way too adorable.

Thomas on the other hand was blushing, and having an inner dialogue with the system. He kept asking for the memories, but it declined. So he decided to ask for the last thing.

So, what do you mean she wasn't my sister. I can clearly remember she was my sister. Both in blood and bond.

[Well you remember it wrong. I told you before, you lost many memories due to personality differences. She was your sister only in bond. You two were never related, however, your parents took her in, two years before they both died. This is the last thing I will tell. Stop nagging me, or I will erase your memories of her. GOT IT?]

Fine, fine.

Johnson at the time decided to break the ice and make a conversation.

"So Thomas, what do you plan on doing, after finishing school?" he decided to ask some personal questions because Thomas instead of his sarcastic and edgy self, now looked like a shy young boy.

"I am not planning on finishing school" Thomas replied, it took all his mental strength not to look at Olivia, so he kept looking at the menu. He couldn't believe this. They reincarnated at the same time. Is this a gift from the heavens? Are heavens finally decided that he had suffered enough, and now he can be happy? All of the sudden, some of the old memories came back.

He remembered Charlotte's smile, how she always held him when he was crying. Human Elijah was such a crybaby. When his parents died, they were all alone. Just the two of them, and their little hut. He would hunt, get firewood during winter. She sew clothes for him, made food. Cleaned the hut when he was away. Neither of them ever complained. But unlike Thomas who was always frowning. She was always smiling. The only time she stop smiling was when Elijah died.

"What do you mean?" Johnson was curious. " So what are you planning on doing?"

Thomas was too caught up in his thoughts. He remembered Charlotte's tears and realized that he starting to feel sorrow. His body started shaking, and his tears started falling.

Johnson decided that it was his fault. He thought he touched a sensitive subject. He wanted to ask about it. Thomas stood up, took out his wallet. Left the money for his coffee and said.

"Thank you, I had a great time" he didn't know how he felt. He just made a portal to his room, just as he remembered Johnson doing previously. "Goodbye"

"Dad, what did you do?" Olivia was irritated. For some reason, when she saw Thomas's sad, her chest felt heavy. She felt very angry at the reason for his sadness. Or so she thought.

But what surprised Johnson the most, was that Thomas was able to use spatial magic. Not only that, he could use a legendary level spell. That means, the kid already knows legendary spells? This kid is abnormal. He didn't think too much of him crying. He realized that kid just has too many sad memories. So he will do his best, to help him make new, good memories.

At the same time in Thomas's room. He was lying in bed. His face was buried in a pillow. He kept screaming in it out of embarrassment.

The system, you ******* traitor!

[That was as unexpected to me as to you, who could have thought you can regain some memories without my help. I tried suppressing them. But I suppose I was wrong. You did fine even after regaining memories.]

If crying like a ***** in front of strangers is fine, then YES! I did GREAT!

[You can't blame me for being a crybaby, like in your past life]

OH SCREW YOU!
