The Reincarnation Room
Meet Yomogawa Ayame

Three days have passed since Ryan's devious victory over Kurusu. Now, all the samurai no longer looked down on Ryan. They even started to respect him. 

"For Ryan …"

"For everyone .." Rian returned the greetings of the samurai he met. Ryan was currently walking around on the wall. He still does not know when the plot will begin. Ryan could only wait and watch from the top of the wall.

The samurai left Ryan alone while on guard. Even if Ryan ditches, they won't protest and turn a blind eye. However, Ryan chose to keep working for the sake of getting a ration to eat. In addition, by keeping the gate, he can get information quickly when there are trains arriving at Aragane Station.

Ryan currently has 5400 points. With these points, Ryan could just exchange the points he has with the currency of this world. But he didn't want to do it. Points that have been exchanged will not be refunded. Moreover, this world has already come to an end. There is nothing to enjoy in this world. 

Time went by quickly, and midday came. Ryan came down from the wall to get his rations in the cafeteria. While Ryan was eating, Kurusu came over. Kurusu sat down in front of Ryan.

"Have your wounds healed?"

Ryan could only smile wryly hearing the same question for three days straight. Kurusu for three days always came to Ryan and asked him about his injuries. He always tried to challenge Ryan back to duel with him. 

"How can it heal so quickly. Look, my hand is still hurt!" ryan said as he showed his bandaged left arm. Ryan's wounds have healed. After the competition was over, Ryan dripped a little healing potion on his wound. As a result, Ryan's wounds can heal instantly. He just pretended that Kurusu did not invite him to a duel.

"Hah~ I just won once you have a grudge against me. Is your mind so narrow?"

"I-I don't take revenge on you! I-I just want to duel against you again, that's all." martial Kurusu. He seems to still be vengeful with Ryan for his defeat, but due to his high self-esteem, Kurusu is unwilling to admit it.

'Is this what Tsundere is called?' thought Rian 

"Where are you?" From the back of Kurusu, the voice of a woman was heard looking for Kurusu. Hearing someone call out to him, Kurusu looked back. As soon as he saw who called out to him, Kurusu immediately stood up nervously.

"Yame-sama!"

Ryan then looked towards the woman who called out to Kurusu. 'Ayame Yomogawa! One of the characters in this anime. Finally I was able to meet the person related to my second mission.'

Ayame looked towards Ryan. He slightly lowered his head. "Sorry to bother you."

Ryan replied, Kurusu shook her head quickly. "Ti-no really. Ayame-sama did not bother us at all. Our conversation is not important!"

'Anjir, why does my gaunt attitude change 180 degrees every Ayame nearby!' thought Ryan.

'But at least my plan worked! I dared to fight Kurusu back then not only because of the appearance of side missions. However, also so that I can meet my second mission target, Yomokawa Ayame!' 

“Siang, Ayame. You are absolutely beautiful as rumored!” praise Ryan.

Ryan was used to living in the modern world, so it was difficult for him to speak politely to people of his age. “I'm not just a stranger and not a subordinate of Ayame, so why should I be polite? Moreover, we are both of the same age.”

“You!” Kurusu was so angry that she wanted to draw her sword. But Ayame stopped Kurusu. 

When Ryan calls himself a stranger, Ayame finally realizes who Ryan's identity is. “Are you a stranger who beat Kurusu?”

Hearing Ayame's words, Kurusu who was once very angry became silent from embarrassment. Ryan was very happy to see Kurusu's expression. “That's right, I'm the one who defeated Kurusu. Even though I am indeed due to using a sneaky way, hehehe ..”

“Based on the strength and Sword Technique, I will not lose to him!” bela Kurusu's. 

“Iya, I know, I know .. don't need you to be clear anymore. But losing is still losing, hehehe ..” mocked Ryan while patting Kurusu's back. Kurusu's expression became similar to people who had constipation.

“Hahaha ..” Ayame covered her mouth while chuckling at the interaction between Ryan and Kurusu. Ayame's laughter even made Kurusu depressed. Seeing him like that, Ayame immediately gave an explanation. “Sorry Kurusu, I'm not laughing at you. I just thought Ryan was really interesting.”

“Hahaha .. I just want to prank Kurusu. This has become my habit when I was in school, hehehe ..”

Kurusu and Ayame's eyes opened to Ryan's last words. “You ever went to school?”

“Of course–” Ryan's speech immediately stopped so considering the setting of this world. Ryan then nodded. ‘Anjir, I forgot that I am now in the Kabaneri world of The Iron Fortress. In the setting of this era, the only ones who can attend school are noble families and scholars. Especially since there was a Kabane disaster, many schools have been destroyed out there.’

Ryan's condition is interpreted differently by Ayame and Kurusu. They think Ryan is saddened that his school and friends went missing in the Kabane attack. Ayame who sympathized with Ryan then asked him. “Has the station you came from been destroyed kabane?”

Hearing Ayame's question, Ryan understood that Ayame had misunderstood. ‘Thank you guys misunderstood. Because you already think like that, then this will facilitate in making my backstory.’

“Iya ... All my friends are gone. They've all been preyed upon by the kabane! From then on, I walked without direction while hiding and dodging from the Kabane. Until finally, I arrived at this station ..”

“So so .. It is fitting that Ryan never learned Sword or Martial Techniques. It turns out you were a scholar. Your movements are faster than ordinary people because you often run from the kabane. The nature of not afraid of death must be because of kabane. All this makes sense” said Kurusu.

Ayame feels sorry for Ryan's life story. He also wanted to help Ryan. “How about Ryan working for the Yomogawa family as a samurai?” 

“Sorry for my sassness, Ayame-sama. But I don't agree if Miss recruited Ryan as a samurai. Ryan's technique and strength are lacking. He is not yet fit to be a samurai.”

“But fast? But didn't Ryan beat you?” ayame asked while tilting her head.

“It ...” Kurusu could not answer Ayame's question. ‘Why Miss should discuss it now!’ yell Kurusu in Heart.
