"Thank you, Virgin, for visiting our house today"

"Um... as usual, please call me Anna."

Anna offered me a visit a few days ago. Apparently, Anna has recently tended to wander into her chambers and the clerics of the Great Church have been in trouble. And he suggested distractions and various invitations, but he refused all of them.

But Anna, who showed no interest, suddenly wants to see me as a friend. That's what they told him. When the Virgin said that she was in trouble as she was, the Great Church offered her father a direct visit. That's what this is all about.

Honestly, I'm complicated myself, to be honest.

Whatever you say, I believe it was Anna who wished to dissolve my engagement with Her Highness.

It is not that I, even as a boulder, cannot understand His Majesty's words as nobility. Because I think of my country, I choose the Crown Princess, who will be supported by the people in order to become more of a stone.

I understand that in itself, it is not unnatural to do so.

Because raising your hands and accepting, I can't keep up with you emotionally.

Plus, the loss to the Virgin that's been there.

With that feeling, nothing can change from here on out.

Because I feel that way, I don't feel that I can be friends with her in the future, etc.

… maybe he is an unpleasant person.

This is not the emotion I wanted because I regret what I did before myself.

But emotions I can't accept.

Longing, jealousy, inferiority.

I was not a saint prince enough to jump it.

Still, because even such a disgusting part of me is me. I wanted to stop avoiding her in terms of accepting it.

That's why I want to have a solid conversation with her once.

For this reason, my father receives a visit from Anna. I answered that.

And Anna and I visited our house for the first time since we talked at school.

But she was completely different from her previous girlfriend, and the brightness that Nico and I were laughing at at at any given time was gone.

A gloomy atmosphere.

A neighborhood that stays firmly under your eyes.

And bright red eyes as if they cried.

They all confuse me.

What the hell happened to her?

"... Your Highness and Lady Theodore have come to the Great Church."

"Really?"

Me and Anna in the room, and a cleric and Sarah at a distance where you can't hear the conversation.

After a heavy silence, Ms. Anna began to speak with a voice that sank the air intact.

"No matter what I do, there can be no marriage between me and Your Highness. They told me that."

What does she want to say?

Why are you telling me that is now at stake if I can continue my engagement with Your Highness?

"So it's like my hopes have been cut off. So it's like I'm never going home again"

"Where to go...?

"Yes. … my precious place.

A place where you can be at that guy's side. It just disappeared. "

Who's that guy?

I don't think I'm referring to His Highness...

"Um, Mr. Anna? Who are you talking about?"

"He's... he's my most important person."

Yes, I saw something slightly sparkling in Anna's dark, lightless eyes whining.

He means a man, doesn't he?

"You mean someone you like?

"I like... more than I like. More..."

Anna's expression telling her to squeeze so seemed very painful and put her squeezed hand against her chest.

And he turned his dark eyes straight towards me.

Those eyes are darkly stained with despair, as if the brilliance of an earlier moment were a lie.

"Um, I... I don't know myself very well these days... and I think I'm just saying weird things.

Besides, I'm selfish, I can't help myself, and I have a strange memory right now, and I don't know what to do by myself. "

"Calm down. What's the matter with you? Is something wrong?

Her suffering can be felt from the ends of the word.

But what are you suffering from and why have you been in such a state?

And why would I want to be engaged to Your Highness when there are other people I like?

… I don't know what she's doing.

With my confusion on her ass, Anna hesitated to speak to me, "Um".

And I said yes.

"Well, all of a sudden, it seems strange... Do you think Mr. Rachel has a past life?

Previous life?

I open my eyes unexpectedly to the words I was told without a clap.

You mean the life you were born into, the life you lived before.

Not yourself, who lived a different life?

Talk about the world of stories.

Apart from myself, who thinks so, I can't say enough about it.

Whatever you say, I died once, and I'm here now.

Something unusual happened.

Then maybe it's possible even in a previous life.

Besides, her face in front of her is stretched on her shoulders like she's nervous somewhere.

And his eyes are shaking anxiously, but he's looking at me in horror.

To that appearance, I understood that this question was not a joke, but an important one for her.

When I take a small, deep breath, I give an answer looking straight into Anna's eyes.

"Right. I don't think I can say enough."

To that answer, Anna opens her big eyes to the fullest. And when I burst into tears full of those eyes, the tears that didn't stop fell out of the potpourri.

"… I'm not talking about it that you can believe. I want someone to hear it."

"Yep."

"I know it's wrong of you to ask me to disturb you."

"Yep."

Anna wipes her tears many times, but still can't seem to stop the overflowing tears.

Perhaps I can't stop the thoughts I've accumulated in the accumulation, even though I've stuffed the words many times.

Only the thoughts I want to convey are ahead of me, and I am not able to speak in an orderly manner.

Still, she's desperately trying to tell me something.

And they're asking for help.

Fall into such a sensation with wonder.

What do you think of Anna?

Before that, first of all, who she really is.

Maybe I don't know Anna Carroll herself. And maybe we should know that.

"Just take your time. Tell me what you want to talk about."

Tell Anna in a quiet voice to reassure her as much as possible as she sees her breathing ready.

Then, Mr. Anna nods tiny, cocoon, vertically.

"… I am Anna, but not Anna. He seems to be…"

"Himself in previous life…"

"The day of the entrance ceremony to the Torsois Magic School.

On that day I woke up with only memories of my previous life "

The entrance ceremony to the Torsois School of Magic?

Piscilli, as if time had stopped, solidifies to Anna's words.

Because it was the same day I came back.

The words I began to speak in a small, disappearing voice are too unexpected a fact.

"They say strangers are my father or my mother, and it's the day I suddenly go to school, what they say.

At first, I didn't know what it was...

But I knew about the world, so I immediately said, "Oh, my God. This place is a dream. I came to the game world by mistake."

Games?

What's the world of games?

"So we have to go home soon. I have to go back to Makoto-kun, think so.

Don't you dare think of the people of this world as living people. Everyone is different from me.

Just think of it as a doll playing a given role. "

This world?

A doll?

"But Anna's memories have come back lately... Instead, her previous parents' faces have been flattened. … Next, if you forget about Makoto-kun, I…… what should I do…….

So if we don't make it home soon, we'll have to have a happy ending. "

"Sorry, wait... I can't see anything."

Unexpectedly stop the conversation with Anna, who tells her to roll it up.

I don't know what it is.

First, you have to ask.

"You, who are you?

"… me? I…"

And the truth about Anna Carroll to be told.

That was an unimaginable story of mine.
