Memory loss

"Hey, are you still here?"

It's the first thing that occurs to me to say, it took me by surprise, I thought he was gone.

But upon hearing my question, Satsuki freezes for an instant and answers.

"Don't you want me here?"

Hearing his question and seeing him start to make a sad face, I inwardly curse for being a big mouth.

"Oh no, don't worry, I thought you were gone, but I definitely don't want you outside"

Hearing my answer I can see that his men relax.

"So you love me?"

When I hear that I don't think much.

"Yes I love you"

Hearing my answer, she blushes and shyly lowers her head.

Looking at this I realize I said something inappropriate.

I unconsciously touch the back of my head.

'We just got out of the previous situation and now we are in another one, I don't want to be entangled here, so I must change another topic'

"By the way, don't worry about your brother, you didn't go home yesterday instead you stayed with me here"

Listening to me, she recovers her senses and tells me.

"Who? Brother? I have a brother?"

Hearing this she went into deep thought.

"Yes, your younger brother the one called Rai"

She frowns trying to remember.

But she tells me

"I'm sorry but I don't remember"

Hearing this my suspicion grew but I'm going to ask just in case.

"So you don't remember your house?"

"No"

Your classmates?"

"No"

"Your homeland?"

"I don't remember very well but I think it's a village"

"Your name?"

"YES, my name is Satsuki"

"Don't you remember your last name?"

"Not Just My Name"

Hearing this, she frowned.

"...and your clan?"

"My clan?"

When she tries to think about it she grabs her head.

"Are you OK?"

"Yes, but for some reason trying to think about the last thing she started to give me a headache"

"Then don't force yourself to think about it"

'It's probably that painful memory, better not remember it'

I have now confirmed that she has amnesia, most likely due to the heavy blow she gave herself to her head.

Looking at her she looks at me with an innocent look very different from the Satsuki I met at the academy.

'I can't go back like this'

But I don't know what to do, so I try to search my memories of my previous life to see if there is any solution.

While looking for a solution I find one.

She says that patients with amnesia could recall part of her memories if they see places or scenes that happened in her past or let her recover over time.

When looking at the two solutions that I have, I see that the second one has too much uncertainty and it takes a long time, so I will go for the first one.

'Although the first one isn't that reliable I'll give it a try anyway, it's still not like I have more options.'

"That's not right Satsuki, you should at least know where you are, we'll go for a walk around the village and see if some things look familiar to you and if you remember anything."

"Okay"

She readily agrees.

"Then get ready, we'll go out after breakfast"

She nods.

Saying this, I don't say any more nonsense and I turn around and go directly to the shower.

When she got to the shower I can see that it's still wet which means someone has recently taken a bath.

'It seems that Satsuki already bathed'

So that moves things forward.

That reminds me that asking her out makes it sound like I'm asking her out on a date.

If she was a normal kid I bet she'd be nervous, because this is more like a date no matter how you look at it.

But unfortunately I have the mind of an adult, so no matter how much potential his body has, it doesn't attract me right now, although his face does attract me, it's very beautiful, that's why he's very popular even more than his brother in the academy, If I remember correctly there is a group of girls who spend the whole day saying 'Sister Satsuki is beautiful' and things like that.

I finish taking a shower and I go out and I see that my clothes are gone and instead these other clothes are well folded.

I go over and pick it up, I can see it's freshly washed.

'I wash my clothes?'

Seeing this makes me feel warm for some reason.

This reminds me of my previous life where I was a child and my mom brought me the laundry, I miss those times.

I put my clothes on after drying myself.

I leave the bathroom, before I had not noticed but the floor is swept.

She entered the kitchen and saw Satsuki sitting at the table with the ramen prepared.

"Sorry there were no other things to cook so I prepared this"

"Did you prepare this?"

"Yeah, is that wrong?"

"No no, I was just surprised I didn't think you were going to do it, but thanks anyway"

"No no, thanks to you, you had me in your house and you took care of me when I was sick, so this is the least I can do"

She says it herself with a shy expression.

"It's nothing, just something I had to do, so don't worry, well, you don't have to talk about these things, otherwise it will be too late"

I sit in the chair, I don't want to fool around with her here.

I start to try the ramen even though I still don't like it, but it will be because of the company that the atmosphere feels relaxing and I can eat without much problem.

"Now that I think about it, I think this would be the first time I eat with someone in my house"

'It feels nice if you ask me'

We eat in silence, no one talks at the meal, there is a subtle atmosphere without discomfort.

We're done eating.

"It was nice, thanks Satsuki"

"Not at all, I just boiled water and put it here, I didn't do anything spectacular worthy of your praise"

"But you saved me work, now we should wash the dishes"

"Don't worry, I'll do it"

"I don't believe-"

Before she can rebut she takes my plate away and goes to the casino.

Seeing this I can only shake my head.

'With that helpful behavior I think she would make a good wife'

For some reason I see adult Satsuki and me in the same scene as now.

'By the way, what am I thinking about, I should concentrate on training, I should think about these things further in the future'
