Infinite Reincarnation – Arthur Hurt Chapter 168

29-2nd Trava War

The first song was a song titled ‘Dance with You’, which was one of the most popular songs she had sung recently, and the next was a new song that Arthur had given her, ‘Please Come Back, My Love’.

My dear, have you forgotten our request?

He said he would come back so please wait for him,

I will wait, so please come back safely.

Our requests and our pledges have been drowned out by the sound of horns.

I pray and pray to the Lord all night long.

I hope you come back safe and sound.

Come back safely.

Come back and be held in my arms.

Although the lyrics were cliché, the sorrowful melody that Arthur had selected from the songs he had heard in his past life, combined with Amelia’s ability to convey emotion through singing even at a young age, was enough to touch the hearts of the audience.

The noble ladies and young ladies covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and shed tears, and even the old gentlemen who were said not to shed tears sniffled and tried to control their emotions.

As the song ended, sobs came out here and there. The audience tried to control their emotions instead of shouting for an encore as usual, and in the midst of all this, Amelia bowed to the audience and left.

The lights dimmed and Amelia disappeared behind the curtains, and only then did the lights come back on before there was thunderous applause.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Why are you crying?”

“This is awesome, ugh! This is awesome! Sob!”

Cho Leng was moved by Amelia’s singing and was moved again by the audience’s reaction.

The sight of making so many people cry with just one song was something he had only experienced once or twice in his long career as a musician. And that was from the audience’s perspective, not the one giving the impression.

But Amelia did it! Her disciple did it! She helped her!

The reason he wanted to become a theater owner was to see this heart-pounding scene, so now he has no regrets even if he dies… … . He must continue to reproduce these emotions without giving up.

Cho-reng wiped his face with a handkerchief and looked up at Arthur. Arthur waited for Cho-reng to sort out his feelings.

“Arthur. Thank you.”

“I am the one who should be thankful.”

Arthur smiled. This is a huge hit, so it will definitely be an issue. Now, we just need to connect this issue and the emotion of the song to highlight the need for support for field hospitals.

To do this, Arthur inserted words reminiscent of war into the lyrics. The ‘sound of the horn’ in the first verse could be connected to a train carrying soldiers heading to the front, and the ‘thick white smoke’ in the second verse could be connected to infantrymen firing muskets. It’s such an obvious device that anyone who isn’t very smart or uneducated will definitely notice it.

Once word of mouth spreads like that, it’s all about setting the social mood.

“Teacher! Brother Arthur!”

Amelia, who had changed into comfortable clothes from across the hallway, approached me with a smile and a brisk walk. Her eyes were also red, perhaps because she had been emotionally stirred up by singing a sorrowful song.

“great job.”

“No, thank you for the good song.”

When Amelia smiled and expressed her gratitude, Arthur felt a little guilty. Strictly speaking, wasn’t it like he was using her?

He said, smiling bitterly inwardly at the sight of himself becoming a hypocrite.

“Don’t be so thankful.”

“Okay! Got it.”

Amelia accepted Arthur’s premise as ‘because we’re family’, and Arthur could read it in her smile, but he didn’t open his mouth to clear up the misunderstanding. A wise person doesn’t say things that don’t have to be said, which causes conflict and sadness.

Girl singer Amelia’s latest song, “Please Come Back to Me, My Love,” became a huge hit, and she performed it on stage twice every day except weekends.

It was free for the first few days, then they started charging admission, but it sold out every day.

Then, other theaters hurriedly purchased the copyright and staged “Please Come Back, My Love.” The song quickly spread throughout the capital. It became a song that everyone knew, to the point that young ladies would hum it when they were resting alone or at tea parties.

And thanks to that, Arthur also hit the jackpot.

“Wow, this is the first time it’s sold this much.”

Samuel was counting the proceeds from the sale of the celestial music sheets on the abacus. Arthur spoke to him.

“Please understand that I will put all that money into the field hospital support fund.”

“… … Huh? Are you serious?”

Samuel looked up. The amount of the sky music sheet sold this time was more than five times Arthur’s average annual income.

Arthur answered.

“Anyway, money above a certain amount doesn’t really contribute to my own happiness.”

“Why not take this opportunity to splurge? Spending money is so much fun.”

“I don’t want to be dependent on material things.”

Arthur shook his head at Samuel’s suggestion.

The reason people indulge in luxury is not simply because things are good. The reason for luxury is that it is essentially something that not everyone can enjoy.

When you indulge in luxury, you feel superior and feel pleasure all the way to the periphery, thinking, “I’m different from you. I can do what you can’t.” That was the essence of luxury.

But Arthur was an infinite reincarnation. He knew better than anyone else that he was special, even though he didn’t spend much money on it. And he didn’t necessarily want to show off that specialness to anyone else.

What’s the point of bragging? That I’m superior to you because I’m an infinite reincarnation? So you should be jealous? Arthur wasn’t so mean that someone’s envy became the driving force of his life.

If you need others to build your happiness and self-esteem, as the saying goes, “Go alone like a rhinoceros horn,” then your happiness and self-esteem are bound to be in danger. This is because others are not there forever.

What about the act of enjoying the pleasure of comparative advantage through material goods such as luxury goods? If you become addicted to them, you will only end up dependent on the material.

Arthur’s words made Samuel, the merchant, tilt his head.

“Dependence on material? Isn’t that how it is?”

Humans cannot live without money, and money is material. Therefore, Samuel’s viewpoint was that humans are beings dependent on material.

Arthur responded to Samuel’s answer from a different perspective so that he could understand it more easily.

“I don’t want to be swayed by money.”

“Ah. That’s what you’re saying.”

Samuel nodded in understanding. If you stay in the company for a long time, you will see people whose roles are reversed.

Should a merchant swing money around instead of being swayed by money? The advice my uncle, who grew up with my parents when I was a young merchant, gave me until it was a pain in the neck was in line with that.

The irony that if you are blinded by money, you will end up losing it is a lesson that is passed around like a golden saying in the business world.

Arthur changed the subject.

“By the way, when are you going to confess?”

“Confession?!”

Samuel jumped at Arthur’s question, and Arthur’s expression became sinister.

“Isn’t this reaction too strong when you didn’t even mention anyone in particular?”

“Who, who am I to?!”

“It’s Madame Zeltney.”

“no!”

A strong negation was a strong affirmation. Arthur looked at Samuel with salty eyes.

“Time is not infinite. When the opportunity comes, grab it. When you fall in love with someone, you will regret not meeting them sooner and not confessing.”

“Uh. But… … .”

Arthur continued speaking without listening to Samuel’s denial.

“Approach me with sincerity. A woman who is ignorant of the ways of the world may be fooled by sweet talk, but a wise woman like Madame Zeltney will see through sweet talk.”

“Uh… … So that means Attorney Sangswart was also sincere?”

“But what can I do? It’s broken.”

“Why did it break?”

Samuel’s expression was serious. Surely the reasons for the failure of his former rival would have been a good reference, but Arthur could not bring himself to tell Countess Tzaq that he had been tested.

I thought it was right to keep quiet, if only for the sake of Catherine, the only daughter of the railroad engineer Ttian Aho, and the honor of Attorney Sangswart, and if only for the sake of the private relationship between Countess Tzak and Madame Zeltny, who were involved in the matter.

So I just skipped over it.

“I guess I made a mistake.”

“mistake?”

“Originally, men had another self.”

“Another self?”

When Samuel tilted his head, Arthur pointed below his waist with his finger. Samuel nodded his head in admiration at the gesture, exclaiming, “Ah!” Yes, that could be called another self.

At Arthur’s words, Samuel muttered blankly as if he had realized something.

“Uh… … So does that mean Attorney Sangswart is the son-in-law of the railroad engineer?”

That’s great in its own right, isn’t it?

“I don’t want to rush to judgment just yet, but is this the time for Mr. Samuel to be concerned about other people’s love lives?”

“Ah, um… … .”

Samuel’s attempt to change the subject was unsuccessful, and Arthur sighed at the sight of Samuel hesitating.

“If Mr. Samuel won’t have the courage, I guess we’ll have to find someone else.”

“Huh? Looking for someone else?”

“Well, I’ll arrange a nice meeting for Madame Zeltney… … .”

“Don’t do it.”

Arthur responded with a pitiful look at the serious expression that immediately appeared.

“Then don’t hesitate.”

Samuel nodded reluctantly at those words, but Arthur clicked his tongue at the sight. Then he pointed out to Samuel the virtues necessary for love… … .

“If you confess in such an unconfident manner, will it work? I mean, clearly show your determination and conviction that I will make you happy.”

“That doesn’t mean you should show off. Show off is just a trick and fraud used by those who have no sense of humor to seduce women. But Mr. Samuel, you’re a man who doesn’t need to show off like that. Be confident, be confident.”

“Oh, but if you push too hard, Madame Zeltney might feel uncomfortable. Just approach her cautiously like a gentleman.”

Arthur’s advice was disorganized, broad, and unfamiliar, so Samuel’s ears were confused and confused.

“What do you want me to do?”

“The most basic thing is to have sincerity. To express sincerity, you have to focus with one mind. Approach the other person with that mind. And always be careful and reflect on your actions.”

“It’s too difficult.”

“Love, in a way, is also about self-cultivation. If it is true that others are mirrors of oneself, then a lover can be said to be the closest mirror. To that extent, you can see the detailed parts of yourself, the parts you were not aware of, but to that extent, your field of vision becomes narrow, so you must always be awake to see the whole… … .”

Samuel listened blankly to Arthur’s long ramblings and sophistry, reaching a gestalt breakdown, and then asked.

“So what do you want me to do in the end?”

Arthur sighed deeply and replied that cicadas should be fed pine needles.

“First, somehow make an excuse to meet often.”

Since Samuel owned a department store, it was not difficult to find an excuse to meet Madame Zeltny, the dress designer.

“aha!”

As I was paying attention to Samuel’s love life, the charity event was quickly approaching.

The Matou Company rented a famous salon and sent out invitations. Those who received the invitations were selected through Arthur’s parents, Viscount Karl Frant, Count Stan, and Countess Tzak, and they were nobles and bourgeoisie who did not acknowledge or deny the need for field hospital support across all factions.

“Nice to meet you, Count Stan.”

“Oh, who is this? Isn’t this Viscount Frant, who drained the waters of our neutral faction and joined the noble faction?”
