2 An Extra Package (1/2)

”Hey! Watch out!”

As soon as she became aware of her surroundings once again, a voice screaming at her startled her out of her confusion. Suddenly, she felt the tiny hairs at the back of her neck stand up, with every part of her body screaming 'Danger!'.

Choosing to trust her instincts, she rolled to the side, just in time to avoid a huge paw that seemed to be larger than her from crushing her head into paste.

”Young master! Are you alright?!” A somewhat lanky-looking middle aged man suddenly appeared from seemingly out of thin air, his face red from either worry or anger, or maybe it was both. Not waiting for her reply, the man turned towards a young man who was trying to appease what looked to be a gigantic armored panther.

Young master? Should'nt it be young mistress instead? Anyways, what is with this sudden show of respect? Ayami was getting more and more confused by the minute.

”You squib! How dare you nearly kill the young master! If it wasn't for the young master's timely reaction, he would've already died!” The older man shouted, pointing a sharpened stick towards the younger man, to which, Ayami found somewhat comical. ”I should just kill you right now!”

With a pointy stick? Ayami humoured herself. Anyways, what exactly is a squib. And, where is this?

Right when she was trying to figure out where she was, an influx of memories and informations suddenly hit her like a truck. Particularly, memories of the night she was killed.

It all made sense now.

Tachibana Ayami was dead. But, somehow, her soul had been transfered into the body of a child from another world.

How that was possible, she didn't know, but, she felt thankful that she had a chance to start anew.

Strangely, despite knowing that she was Tachibana Ayami until a while ago and receiving her memories, she didn't receive much of the emotions that came with it.

She did feel the regret of being betrayed by her most trusted person, but, she didn't feel the intense desire to take revenge. There was only acceptance.

It was like she was only a spectator in her own life.

Perhaps that was because she was currently in a new body and the new body had nothing to do with Tachibana Ayami, therefore, the new body might have taken it as none of its business. Or something like that?

Ayami shook her head.

She would deal with this problem later. Right now, there was a more important problem at hand.

”Young master, can you stand up? Are you hurt anywhere?” It seemed like the older man had finished shouting at the younger man and was now looking at Ayami with a worried gaze.

He's been saying young master for some time now. Perhaps he doesn't know that she is female?

Just as Ayami was about to get up from the ground and clarify the possible misunderstanding, she, or now, he, felt something between his legs that shouldn't be there.

The sudden feeling sent a chill throughout his body, causing him to freeze on the spot.
