Chapter 32 (2/2)
But…… I wonder what it is I keep feeling like so “Fortune Lover,” the feeling gets stronger
It’s al this strange sensation But even so…… No ht about it, I couldn’t re
And so, the days continued like this, until lunch break one day I was eating lunch together with A-chan like usual
“How’s your progress with ‘Fortune Lover?’”
“Right now, I’ the evil sadistic Prince Jared”
When I answered her, for some reason, A-chan made a troubled face
For some reason, A-chan feels a little different fro specific that seems off, but for some reason she felt more mature than usual today
“How’s school, is it fun?”
“……Eh, ah…… Mmm”
Once again, the question that A-chan asked, was a bit strange for some reason I replied, and stared at A-chan as different from usual for some reason
That’s, A-chan’s face like it always is, the face that I’ve always seen since middle school…… Or it was supposed to be……
“………EH!?”
Involuntarily, I let out a sound of surprise
What is this, for a irl hite hair and red eyes instead of A-chan there
Such a thing…… It’s so unbelievable that I rubbed ain, and I looked at ain Then, I saw the face that I had always seen
I wonder what’s going on today…… Was it just ination……
Staring at my friend like this while frozen solid, a very mature smile appeared on A-chan’s face
“I’ able to spend tiain But…… This isn’t supposed to be your world”
“……?”
This isn’tabout?
“You already have a world of your own And, there’s a lot of people waiting for you there”
“……A-chan…… Exactly what do you mean?”
At the confused ently smiled
“Hey, listen, everyone is calling out for you”
“……Eh……?”
Right after A-chan said so, I suddenly heard voices
“Katarina, please wake up! I can’t even think about a life without you anymore!”
“Wake up, nee-san! You promised that you’d always be with me forever!”
“Katarina-sa hard if you’re not there!”
“Get up! How long are you planning to sleep there! You stupid girl!”
“……Katarina, open your eyes, please”
“……I’ you Katarina-sama, please open your eyes”
There are all such nostalgic voices…… Voices that I had been hearing for forever
As if soly felt like so
Nostalgic voices…… My stepbrother and friends…… All the people iotten such important people to me
The fog completely disappeared, and my memory beca
It’s just as A-chan said With entle faame, this world is very comfortable However…… This isn’t my world anymore
I have a neorld now A new family and friends…… There’s so many people important to me in the neorld as well
And, everyone is waiting for me there
“I have to return tofor ht Then, I heard so sound in the classroom
When I looked aroundit, all the other classmates that should have been there had disappeared
There was onlyto cruht in its place
Ahh, I understand now that if I juinal world
“Ah, that’s right! A-chan! When I return to o help Maria! Since it’s A-chan, do you happen to knohere Maria is? Tell me!”
Since she’s beaten the entire ga
“I know Maria’s inside the school still There’s a hidden room in the school It’s -”
A-chan toldoing to be sucked into the light
There’s no more time…… If only I had remembered sooner, there’s still so much more that I wanted to talk about
“Ahh, oneWhy did the student council president……”
Why did he look so pained and about to cry that time when I asked hiinning to cru floor, I was about to be sucked into the light
A-chan was looking at entle eyes
“Since it’s you, everything will definitely be alright Just like how you saved us, you’ll save the president as well His real name is -”
“Eh? Saving? Real name?”
Being confused at hearing things I didn’t understand, I asked her back, but ht
I could barely see A-chan’s face anymore This must be my fareith A-chan My best friend that’s always been with me since middle school It’s all thanks to her that I was able to becoh school student without a problem She’s helped me so, so, much And yet…… Because of the sudden accident – I wasn’t even able to tell her farewell or thank you This is my last chance
“A, A-chan I’! Farewell, and thank you for everything up to now!”
I shouted at A-chan who I couldn’t see anyht, I wonder if it reached her
“I’ain as Sophia Farewell, and thank you, my important best friend”
A-chan’s last words didn’t reach me
When I openeda river of tears before me
And, behind her, Jared, Keith, Mary, Alan, and Nico were there as well The people most important to me Ahh, I’ve returned to my world
Sophia hugged me when I woke up, and cried even harder Mary as always so caledat me with relieved expressions
I understood very well hoorried everyone had been about me
This is my world This world with all the people important to me That’s why – I want to protect this world and these people
I definitely won’t allow you to make such a terrible bad end!
