331 – [5] Sweet Ines
#331
* * *
‘Uh…… Huh?’
The day has dawned.
I stepped out of bed with my hair messy, as it had been every day.
Beetle, Beetle, Beetle.
A body shaking back and forth.
With a spirit of coming and going, I opened the bathroom door.
I washed the cat as usual and looked in the mirror.
The woman patted her own face and squeezed her eyes shut.
“Okay! “Don’t go off and do something weird, just stay calm.”
The dark-skinned woman spoke out.
She, with her somewhat ungainly appearance, smiled kindly as if she was looking forward to today.
“Let’s do our best, strength, Ines Corseiro! “She finally achieved her longed-for wish, so you can’t ruin it, right?”
Her name is Ines Corseiro.
He was one of the common cadets at Palaistra Academy.
A mere human being who hopes for a happy life and success in the near future.
A colorless, odorless, kind human being with no one watching over and over again.
But not like this moment.
It was because someone was watching behind my gaze.
‘Wait a minute, what? This is me? What are you talking about?’
Another Ines.
She was also a woman named Ines Corseiro.
‘I am not a woman with this hideous black body!’
The difference was that it was somewhat discriminatory.
Considering that the Ines reflected in the mirror was kind to everyone, her personality was somewhat symmetrical.
‘Wait a minute, that’s not important. Why am I here now? I was definitely being chased and ended up in a cave…….’
And the discriminatory Ines was not originally from here.
She was the player who had been involved in a fierce chase and fight a while ago and had given up a chip called her life.
I have never experienced such a peaceful yet sunny morning.
She was a woman who had gone through hard times.
“Hmm, what should I wear?”
Only the name is the same.
It could be said that he had nothing in common with the kind Ines.
So, the discriminatory Ines felt a tremendous sense of heterogeneity.
In reality, she did not have the power to shake off this feeling of heterogeneity.
‘Could it be a dream I had because I passed out? But if it’s a dream, I need to move, but why doesn’t my body listen?’
A situation where there is no control over the body.
All the discriminatory Ines could do was feel the sensation of her body moving as it pleases and share her gaze.
It was strange yet bizarre.
It could be said that it was the height of irrationality for a human being to be demoted to an observer.
But what can we do?
This is not her body in the first place.
As a result, the struggle to move my body did not last long.
I gave up, thinking it was a delusion from the observer’s perspective.
‘Damn…… To have a dream like this at such an important time…… Am I even alive…….’
Discriminatory Ines watched in a daze as gentle Ines prepared to go out.
Wash, get dressed, put on makeup, and pack things to go out.
The kind Ines’ room that was revealed was very different from the discriminatory Ines’ room.
No, not only the room but the house also looked different.
While the discriminatory Ines lived in a spacious house with a farm-like feel, the kind Ines lived in a small house with a city-like feel.
Of course, as the sensibilities were different, the conditions of the rooms were also different.
‘What, is it really a poster of a celebrity? ‘Why did you put this childish thing up in your room?’
There was no flag symbolizing the legitimate sovereignty of the United States.
There were no firearms that could be considered sacred to Americans.
‘Isn’t this guy American?’
I was shocked and did not understand.
The discriminatory Ines was left speechless at the state of the room, which was devoid of any patriotic American elements.
‘No, why did you put on so much makeup? ‘I’ve become a completely different person.’
“Lululala~”
Anyway, the kind Ines headed out of the house.
Then, like any ordinary cadet, I boarded the bus and walked to the fountain with a bright atmosphere.
It was a famous place where lovers of Arecibo often gathered.
It could be said to be a kind of hot date course.
However, it was not treated well among those waging spiritual warfare in cyberspace.
This was because it was treated as a place where the worst deception and greatest greed that humans could create gathered.

<[Title] When will the central fountain be demolished?>
(Roughly a picture of an angry dog)
I get angry every time I see couples being cute.
If the next mayor says he will remove the fountain, I plan to vote for him.

I would rather go to the gym during that time…….
Now I’m being dragged to the gym and being torn apart…….
I suggested it because it seemed leisurely.

There were racial differences and the first meeting wasn’t very good, so I guess I’m an asshole, right?

And Ines often left such comments in communities where endless struggle took place.
As soon as I saw the shape of the square, I knew where it was and guessed what the ‘other Ines’ was thinking.
Sure enough.
Sweet Ines’ expression brightened and he waved his hand in the sky.
“Xian…… No baby! “It’s here!”
‘Fuck, what?!’
Discriminatory Ines could not believe her ears.
What? Who is he?
For a moment, the accident seemed to stop.
I had to grit my teeth, but I couldn’t.
‘No. Hey, I may have misheard this for a moment. So, the ‘self’ this guy was talking about… ….’
The gaze was fixed as if denying negativity.
A man walked from the front.
The outfit and expression are very different from now.
The man referred to as ‘himself’ was definitely that person.
“Ines. You waited a long time, right? I’m sorry I’m late.”
“It’s okay, baby~ Maybe it’s because we were waiting for you, but it wasn’t difficult at all.”
Silver hair, turquoise eyes, somewhat pointed ears, and a half-Asian face.
Of all the people he knew, there was only one person who had these characteristics.
‘Kang Xian?!’
“Hehe, by the way, the clothes you wore today look really good on you.”
“You too. No, I should say that it goes beyond looking good and looks prettier than usual.”
“What~ So you’re saying I wasn’t always pretty~?”
“Rather than being pretty, she was really cute and lovely.”
“Hehehe~ Thank you~ I love you, Sian~!”
Wow!
‘Fuck, I’m so sorry!’
Soon they hugged each other and rubbed their bodies against each other.
At the same time, the kind Ines felt dizzy, and the discriminatory Ines felt a violent urge to kill.
A couple that makes you angry just by looking at them.
They had a useless conversation in front of the fountain.
What was the lecture the day before?
What are you going to do this weekend?
I love you every time I see you.
I want to be with you from now on.
Aren’t you planning on coming to my house in the evening?
Recent economy, events, gossip, etc.
‘It’s worth it.’
Of course, it did not refer to Kang Xian, but to the kind Ines.
For some reason, Kang Xian’s friendliness was not unpleasant.
‘See…… It’s a dream, but why is it not me, but this bastard with a body like this…….’
No, every time I expressed friendliness, I felt like something deep inside me was boiling up.
Every time my other self opens my mouth, I get cold again.
“Oh, I should go there today. “Do you know the bus route?”
“Of course I know. “We’re on our own, how can you not know?”
“Hehe, as expected, Xian is the best!”
The two headed somewhere, making all sorts of noises.
I got on the bus again and walked down the street aimlessly.
And then we arrived at a place where a large monument had been erected.
There were several bouquets of flowers placed around the monument, and occasionally things like incense or photos were placed there.
The two approached the monument and bowed twice.
Afterwards, I pointed out the countless letters engraved on the tombstone one by one.
The fingers stopped at some point.
The two bowed their heads.
“I’m coming… ….”
“…… I hope you go to a good place.”
Three letters of the name ‘Imhana’.
She was an academy cadet and a friend of the two who died in a terrorist attack.
“…… “If they hadn’t committed a second attack, everything would have been fine.”
“… ….”
“…… “Hana wouldn’t have passed away, the Academy wouldn’t have been privatized, and seniors wouldn’t have been dragged off to death.”
Kang Xian is devastated.
Sweet Ines bit her lip as if recalling some bad memory.
“A year ago…… When one was cut down in front of me and lost her life… ….”
“Honey, that story…… “Let’s do it somewhere other than here.”
“…… Okay.”
Gloomy atmosphere.
After a brief mourning, the two left.
Meanwhile, the discriminatory Ines kept looking back at the tombstone and the stories she had heard.
‘…… ‘It’s very unpleasant.’
A dream whose meaning I don’t know.
It was almost like I was seeing myself in another world, even if it was just a dream.
But to say it wasn’t a dream was because my eyes were slowly closing.
This was his own gaze, separate from Ines’ kind eyes.
* * *
In the end, everything in the world became dark.
The discriminatory Ines was left alone in an empty space.
