“Rachel, please wake up…”
I mumbled the wish through my mouth and poured a little bit of magic power into Rachel.
“Kyaa!!”
As I began to pour my magic power into Rachel along with my wish, my hand that was touching hers was repelled with great force.
A sharp pain ran through my hand.
Without thinking, I let go of Rachel’s hand and grabbed my right hand that was in pain with my left hand as if to protect it.
“Hmm. Rachel rejected…it?”
Makoto put his hand on his chin and said something like that.
Rachel rejected it? Does that mean that she didn’t want to go back to her own body?
“Makoto. Can I talk to Rachel?”
Yuki, who had been watching us in silence, spoke to Makoto.
Her voice didn’t have any anger in it like it did earlier.
It just sounded like she was worried about Rachel.
“Yes. If Lyra drinks the truth serum, maybe you can talk to Rachel?”
“I see, can you give it a try? I won’t know why she didn’t want to go back to her original body if I don’t talk to Rachel.”
“That’s true. Lyra. Will you please cooperate with us?”
Since Makoto had confirmed, I can’t say no.
“Of course. I don’t mind.”
I nodded to the two of them in response.
After confirming that I nodded, Makoto took out a small bottle about the size of a thumb from his pocket.
No way, is that the truth serum.
Does Makoto always keep a truth serum with him?
“Yuki, would you prepare a cup of black tea?”
“All right.”
“Um… if it’s only that much, I can just drink it without the black tea though?”
I suggested that because I thought that it would be a bad idea to ask her to prepare a cup of tea just to drink the truth serum.
Then, Makoto shook his head.
“The undiluted solution is too thick. To drink it after diluting is the right way to use it.
…It seemed that it was something that should not be drunk undiluted.
I obediently waited for Yuki to prepare a cup of tea for me.
Despite seeing that I didn’t like it, Yuki courteously prepared a cup of tea.
After that, Makoto put a drop of the serum from the small bottle.
Then, Makoto placed the tea with the truth serum in it in front of me.
“Well, it’s ready now. Please drink it.”
“…Yes.”
I held the cup of black tea in my right hand and brought it directly to my mouth.
As I took a sip, a sweet scent spread inside my mouth.
