I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title]

ize to the elves tomorrow for my behavior in the village.”

I’m Sophie’s brother, so I’m willing to forgive her for most things if she apologizes and shows remorse.
But there are some things that others may not be able to forgive so easily.
As Sophie’s brother, I would like to apologize and make amends together with her.

“But why did you act so crazy and out of control today?”

I’ve already forgiven her for everything that happened today, but I have to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“Well, that’s…”

“Oh, sorry, I’ll ask you about that later.”

“?”

Sophie seemed to know the reason herself and seemed reluctant to say it, so I put it off.
Sophie made a cute face while wanting to know why.
I wanted to make sure that Sophie understood the reason rather than just asking her why.
I would ask her the reason for her outburst after the story I was about to tell.

“I won, so you’ll listen to anything, right?”

“Yes.”

I decided to use the right I had received as a bet in the sibling feud now.
All the elves and spirits are sleeping now.
And Sophie’s contracted devils are scared deep inside her and won’t come out.
It’s just the two of us now.
I hardly ever get a chance like this.

“Then, can you show me all of your status without hiding it?”

“I’m sorry.
I don’t want to show you that.
If you insist on showing it, I will.
But……”

“It’s fine.
I’ll ask for something else.”

Originally, I expected this to be refused.
If I forced her to show it to me, she would.
But after that, things between us would get a little worse.
I don’t need to see her status if there’s a chance she won’t like it.
Well…I’m really interested in Sophie’s status.
How many magic skills does she have? I wouldn’t be surprised if she has twice as many as I do.

“Then instead, I want you to answer the questions I’m about to ask you with a “yes” or “no” answer.”

“Understood.”

The reason I asked for her status was partly to make sure I wouldn’t be refused this unfamiliar request by saying something that seemed impossible first.

My hands began to shake from the nervousness of the question I was about to ask.
I squeezed my hand, forcing it to stop shaking, and made myself ready.
Then, staring into Sophie’s eyes, I asked the question.

“…Sophie is Yumi Sato, the sister of Reiji Sato …… my sister in a previous life?”

My name in my previous life was Reiji Sato.
And my sister’s name in my previous life, who was one year younger than me, was Yumi.

After I asked the question, there was a moment of silence.
The silence felt so long that it felt like hours.
I almost looked away from Sophie, but I held my gaze and looked at her.
I kept waiting for a “yes” or “no” answer.

“Yes…!”

“Sophie answered with tears in her eyes.”
