38 Chapter 34 ~ Stitching Back The Past 1/3 (1/2)
Rakuri told her everything with the exception of everything that had happened after her death, she knows that Siola doesn't want to hear that part being told. Rakuri told her how their journey of building a time machine went, how they look for her these past two years, and how she felt about everything that is happening before their reunion.
Siola did the same, she told her everything as well but without any exception. They were surprised when they found out that Siola has been reincarnated to the past. The method of their time machine also works similarly, which making them occupied their previous life body.
There are many theories that could go wrong, but they are glad that it works out. Their reunion went off without much of a hitch.
Kurira gave Siola's money and fork back to her, with the exception of the card that Mona gave her, which has been incinerated to oblivion by Rakuri. She was confident that Siola won't cheat on her but it turned out to be false and true at the same time.
Indeed, she admitted that she had sex with someone else, but never has she felt any feelings towards that person.
Regardless of the reason, she did cheat on her, but Rakuri didn't get mad by it. ”As long as it's not a guy” is what she said to her when she gave her an hour-long scolding.
But then Siola stupidly went and said, ”Then, it's okay if it's a girl who got a dick, right?” she got slapped afterward and led her to spill more about it.
It turns out that she did have sex with a futanari before, however, this piqued Rakuri's interest. Not because of the futanari itself, but the state of the world in the game she lived in.
The Realism Mode.
Siola didn't hide it and never did she plan on doing it from them. She told them everything about how it went down, the unique way of how the NPC reacts all the way to her spawn location differs from the usual.
They couldn't believe it was real, they had hundreds of backup characters back in their previous life and they all have gone through the same thing in each playthrough.
This calls for investigation as they called it.
Day after day, they visit her in the disguise of teaching her about Nobility, but Siola does not need any teachings since she has mastered it all. Even if it's not something that is formed, she has the fundamentals at least. She just needs to willingly do it is all. And they discussed many things, talking about small things that were happening in their life.
They chatted a lot normally until a week passes and she told Siola to wait patiently until the next visit. They have decided on doing something that will make sure to get their life back to normal, until then… Dola has to wait once more.
Another week past.
…
Inside her room, moving elegantly with heels on her feet and books on top of her head, Siola has regained back her noble posture and attitude.
It is fair to say that it's not perfect, but every single day, she has shown growth. Both to how she's acting and her condition.
She saw Sadrin smiling to herself, and so she tilted her head, wondering why. She approaches her and asked, ”Hey, hey, are they coming back again? When?”
After a chuckle, she said, ”Yes, young miss. They will come back once their business is done.”
”Heeh. Can't you just tell me when?”
”Very soon.”
”Aww…”
Seeing Siola went sluggish and abandoned the noble posture, Sadrin thought it was cute. After opening her eyes, she spoke in a serious tone, ”Young miss, Lord Hajaran has asked for you in the Dining Hall.”
”Huh” without a thought, she asked, ”Grandpa did? But why?”
”It has been so long ever since you left this room, aside from him wanting to see your progress, he wanted you to reconcile with Madam Yuri.”
A paused from Siola's side, with the thought in mind, she felt really uncomfortable with it. 'Mother, huh' clenching her fist, 'Can't she just leave me alone. I don't get her motive. Unlike anyone I've seen before, she's clever. Just what exactly does she wants from me.'
Another ponder in her thoughts, 'After everything she's done to me. Kicking and leaving me alone in the Desolated Sector, separated me from Aunt Linda. Isn't she supposed to be celebrating? Or maybe, this is her way to laugh at me? Maybe by helping me restore my name, she would be saying something like…'
”…”
Sadrin looked at the young miss, feeling concerned. When Siola stopped talking and lost in her mind, she tends to forget anyone in her surroundings.
She can feel that Siola is thinking about many unnecessary things in her mind.
Approaching her, taking her hands away from her chin, she muttered her name, ”Siola.”
A burst of warm sensation spiraled inside Siola's heart. As her eyes widened, she turned to face Sadrin in the eye, it's the first time she called her by name after such a long time.
Caresses her soft hands, she said, ”Madam Yuri misses you so much. Let the day past by with you in her arms.”
”What are you talking about. Sadrin, don't you remember, she was the one—”
Gripping her hands tighter, Sadrin continues to caress her. ”Siola, she might not be what you think she is. Following lord Hajaran has always been a part of my life, never have I followed him blindly. I believe with you getting back again with your mother, you will find something that you may have missed.”
”…”
All these times Siola believes that her biological mother is the one who did all this to her. Her believes are sturdy, especially with all the 'proof' she got, it was completely researched and they connected to each other.
When Sadrin brought it up again, it raises doubt in her heart.
She caressed Siola's cheek and said, ”At least, do it for me?”
”…” Siola's lips tightened. After a moment of silence, she nods at her.
A smile lightened in Sadrin's expression.
