I wonder how long I fainted.

When I woke up, I was lying on the bed.

Did Yuki bring me here?

I got up from the bed and looked around.

Then, I saw Yuki sitting on the bedside chair and sleeping.

It seemed like quite a considerable amount of time had passed.

I gently approached Yuki, who is skillfully sleeping while sitting, and gently tapped her shoulder.

“Yuki, please wake up.”

When I whispered gently, Yuki’s eyes moved.

“Hmm. Ray…”

“Yuki. Sleep on the bed, okay.”

As I smiled at Yuki who was about to wake up, she perked up and rubbed her eyes with her right hand.

“Ray!! You woke up!!”

For a short moment, Yuki was wondering if she was in a dream, but when she opened her eyes and recognized me, she suddenly jumped at me.

“Wa…I, I’m sorry. I made you worried.”

I caught Yuki who energetically jumped towards me.

I felt sorry after noticing that Yuki was very worried about me.

“Really, Rachel. I was worried! What happened to you?”

I felt like I was going to be sucked into her big eyes that stared at me.

“Th, that…”

“Tell me, Rachel. Do you recognize him as His Highness Naaotto?”

“I…I don’t really get it, but suddenly, His Highness Naaotto appeared inside my head and cursed at me with cruel insults. At the same time, an image of violence also appeared…I was so scared… so scared…”

Even now, when I try to remember that time, I get so scared that my body starts to tremble.

“Rachel!!? You, maybe…”

Yuki opened her eyes wide and looked at my face.

Then, she tightly hugged me.

“I’m sorry that I made you recall something so painful. You’re Ray… You got reincarnated, not transmigrated.”

“Eh?”

Reincarnated, not transmigrated?

What exactly is Yuki talking about?

In the first place, is the memory I recalled about His Highness Naaotto?

Is that a memory of my past, not a created memory?

“I’ve always thought that you were similar to Ray. But…you are Ray. I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to help you… This time, I’ll definitely help Ray.”

“…I’m sorry. I don’t understand.”

Yuki’s body that was tightly embracing me was warm, just like that, I leaned on her.

But, I can’t even understand half of what Yuki was saying.

“Ray. You don’t have to remember the painful memories. You can continue to forget about me, but I want you to be happy.”

“Yuki… I also want Yuki to be happy.”

I don’t know why, but it warms my heart.

Is it because of Yuki?

“At any rate, to think that His Highness Naaotto would hinder Ray’s happiness in both the previous world and in this world. I can’t forgive him.”

“…Yuki.”

Certainly, Lyra was ordered by His Highness Naaotto to assassinate Lord Edward. That’s why Lord Edward annulled his engagement with me in an attempt to keep me out of danger.

Am I destined to be unhappy?

“But His Highness Naaotto might not have the same personality as I knew him to have in my previous life.”

“…No. I’m sure it’s the same. Or perhaps I should say that His Highness Naaotto is a wanderer from another world. I’m sure about this. After all, Ray looks completely different because you got reincarnated to become Rachel, right? That’s why he is definitely the same person.”

“No, no way…”

“I wonder what His Highness Naaotto is planning to do by killing Lord Edward. That makes me feel uneasy. I ran away a while ago, but now I need to properly collect the information. However, His Highness Naaotto will figure it out, if he sees me with this appearance. “

That shouldn’t be surprising.

If His Highness Naaotto is Naoto, he will soon know about Yuki.

After all, Yuki was always colliding with Naoto about me, so I’m sure he remembers.

The moment I realized that shivers ran down my spine.
