Chapter 3 Reincarnation, They Said. 3

Name:The Devil WithInn Author:So_mi
She tried to suppress her curiosity but when more people approached the spot, she can't take it anymore. She tried her best to squeeze in to go as near as she can. But despite trying, she was still quite a distance away. She can't see clearly but she can hear them well through the speakers.

"Minasan~ my tomodachi here has just built a portal that can make you reincarnate to another world! We will be choosing one person to test it out! C'mon~ let's see who will go and be reincarnated!"

The crowd filled with otakus and fans screamed in delight. Meanwhile, Inna remained unfazed.

What? Pshhh, Reincarnation, they said. Like that's going to happen in real life.

Inna felt like she just wasted her time being curious and wanted to leave. So, she turned around, ready to fit through the small openings to get out. However, before she could squeeze out of the crowd. She felt a burning stare in the back of her head that made the hair of her neck stand on end.

"We've chosen one already! But this girl doesn't seem to believe us! Haiz~ after all the hard work we put through to make this device, I feel like we should prove her wrong! Right, tomodachi, Ryuusei-kun?"

"Mm." He nodded in agreement.

Inna suddenly felt goose bumps.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Inna began to sweat in her palms but she refused to believe it was her. Because to be honest, she's sure she's not the only non-believer since she knows lots of people don't believe in reincarnation too.

"Miss Black Shirt with Denim Shorts? Please come up to the front!"

After hearing this, she looked around unconsciously.

"No, no! Miss, it's you! The one looking like a fairy! Black hair, pretty face, and green eyes!"

Inna turned around and saw that everyone was looking at her with envy as they parted to make a path for her.

At the end of the path, she saw a foreign looking man-child with blonde hair, cheerfully smiling at her. He has quite a baby face. In fact, he looked nothing older than 18 but at the same time, he gave off this mature adult vibe that felt like he lived twice the age of what he looked like.

"Miss? It's you. Please come forward." His brown eyes seemed to have a hint of impatience as he urged her forward.

Inna was unable to think clearly so she simply obeyed. When she snapped out of it, she was already standing in front of a huge weird looking circular ring that looked so futuristic and sci-fi like. She looked at the man 'controlling the device' and saw that he had the same vibe as the other guy. They both wore lab coats and had the same brown eyes and foreign looking man-child faces except the man by the device had black hair while the man in the microphone was blond. They can even pass off as brothers.

The black haired man, Ryuusei, and the blonde haired man looked at each other, their eyes holding a kind of meaning. Ryuusei looked at his wristwatch then gave him a thumbs up before pulling down a lever. This made the machine crank up some buzzing noise that sounded quite intimidating.

"Uhm, this won't hurt right?"

"I mean, it's just for show, right?"

"I-it won't really send me to a faraway place, right?"

"... Right?"

Inna bombarded them with questions because she really felt nervous and scared of the machine.

The blonde man just smiled sheepishly and whispered, "Eh, actually it's the first time we tested this so, uhm, to answer your questions, we don't know."

She felt her blood run cold at the statement. She looked towards the towering device and heard it release some creaking noises that made it seem like it was about to collapse.

But from the close distance she had with the machine, she strangely felt a suction force. It was like a wormhole sucking her in. Because of this, she was a bit convinced that she actually might get reincarnated.

But she still wanted to escape!

The machine just gives her bad vibes. So, she took a step back, planning to dash out.

But with her back facing the blonde man, she wasn't able to see the glint in his eyes as he said quickly, "Don't be shy! Here, I'll help!" He strongly pushed her towards the machine, making her tumble forward.

She was shocked with what just happened. She looked back to cuss at the man, only to see nothing but bright white light.

Suddenly, she felt pain in her whole body, like tiny pins piercing her, making her wince. The pain gradually increased until, after a few moments, she felt a blast of something all around her before everything turned black.
