134 – Reuniting with her was the worst
From nob le mt l dot com
Not long after, Flora woke up from bed, rubbing her eyes.
Looking around, she realized that the bed she was lying on was Professor Javier’s bed.
“·····”
Flora quietly lifts the covers.
Sniff sniff.
It smells familiar.
It smells like a man’s scent, but Professor Havir’s unique comfortable and soft scent.
It was a smell that I wanted to keep smelling.
“…Flora?”
“Oh.”
I was sitting in her chair, reading a book, waiting for them to wake up. When I called out to Flora with a puzzled expression on her face, she let out her short thrashing words and froze.
Ah, her face is getting red.
“… Have you seen it?”
“…Yes.”
“Why did you watch it?”
“…Because it’s visible.”
Honestly, how can I not see the smell of my blanket as soon as I wake up?
I am embarrassed, and Flora must be embarrassed too.
How embarrassing it would be to find out that someone she likes has such a fetish.
I figured I should comfort Flora by saying it’s okay, everyone understands.
“It’s okay. Everyone has at least one peculiar fetish. As long as it smells good, it should be fine.”
Even if I think about it, I thought it was a good consolation.
But I guess it wasn’t.
Hearing my words, Flora blushed so much that she felt like she was going to explode. She started throwing her pillow at me, then started tossing whatever things she could get her hands on.
“Get out! You pervert! Affair!”
Isn’t this?

Calmed down, calmed down, Flora said calmly.
It was about Rebecca.
“Rebecca came to visit me a few days ago.”
Even if you’ve got her heart set on it, you can’t help but feel her heart skip a beat the moment you hear Rebecca’s name.
I listened to her story slowly without expressing myself.
A few days ago, Rebecca broke through the barriers of her academy.
She and she fought with Li, who for some reason guarded her mansion.
I can guess why.
Maybe it’s because of me.
I have to say this with my own mouth, but they both like me.
However, the clear difference between the two is that Lii Gavarin regretted and reflected on her past and was reincarnated, while Rebecca remained the same as she was in Astria.
Anyway, the two fought.
The result is Rebecca’s victory.
In a way, it was a natural result.
Even if they were in the same S class, Rebecca was a dealer focused on close combat, and Li Yi was an adventurer focused on assassination and skirmishing. Even Rebecca is the strongest adventurer in Astria.
Of course, you can’t beat Rebecca in a head-to-head match.
But Li Yi didn’t fight to win.
To buy time. It was to buy time for Kay to come, and in the process of subduing Rebecca, the shock of Rose’s attack caused her to lose her memory.
To be honest, it was an unbelievable story.
I still don’t fully trust Li Yi, but I wondered if she really lost her memory.
Maybe I’m lying.
Even in Astria, Rebecca was also good at acting.
“The result of the diagnosis with divine power. I don’t think it’s a lie.”
Rebecca actually had a problem with her head, and Flora herself said that she couldn’t guarantee that it would be fixed.
Her memories are from when Rebecca and I were in Hestia.
Exactly the day before I received her confession from her.
That was the time when Rebecca and I didn’t fall apart.
···But can we trust Rebecca now?
Because her memory is different,
Rebecca in Astria and now Rebecca are not different people.
····Anyway, just thinking about it won’t make things better.
She wanted to face it somehow.
“Where’s Rebecca?”
“… I see. She used to sleep here in the mansion, but she didn’t come back yesterday.”
In that case, finding Rebecca is the first priority.
When I ran into Rebecca yesterday, she took one look back at her face, and I didn’t notice it then, but now that I think about it, she had a pretty shocked face.
Since she was the one who did everything she could to get me, I couldn’t even imagine what she would do if she left me alone.
Cabri, she’s still in bed and sleeping soundly. She took a little waking up.
So Flora and I left the mansion to find Rebecca.

We were on our way to the main gate of Hestia.
The place where she and her reunion was right at her front door.
The road to the main gate was fortunately intact.
I thought what would happen if Rebecca hit me, but that didn’t seem to happen.
The point at which we almost reached the main gate.
I could feel the scent of blood.
We ran.
Then I began to see something in the distance.
It was hard to see the shape as it was lying on the floor, but when I got closer, I found a bloody Rebecca lying there.
Perhaps, the source of her blood scent was Rebecca’s blood.
“Why?!”
A startled Flora approached Rebecca.
I followed her, ready to draw her sword so that I could protect her Flora at any moment.
Something caught on my foot while I was walking.
Glass bottle. To be precise, it was a glass bottle that contained an elixir.
“Why is this here…”
Flora puts her divine power in her hand and observes her.
“···The blood is Rebecca’s. But there are no scars. It’s as clean as new growth.”
It seems that even Flora doesn’t understand her current situation.
This blood is Rebecca’s blood, she has lost her mind, but her skin is as clean as new growth and has no scars.
“It looks like it will need a close examination. Move Rebecca to her medical room…”
Flora stopped her words.
Flora can’t listen to Rebecca, so I have to.

Now that you’ve seen me badly damaged by yesterday’s trauma, you must be hesitant.
I listened to Rebecca without expressing myself.
“It’s okay.”
To be honest, contacting Rebecca is like burning and rotting inside.
I can’t leave it like this.
“Then hurry up.”
“Uh.”
.
.
.
I arrived at the medical room and examined Rebecca’s body.
A large amount of blood at the front door.
But Rebecca’s body is clean.
Flora, who was concentrating on observing her, said as she wiped her sweat.
“I think it’s true that new skin has grown.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“It’s literally. He tore off his own skin and muscle, and it regenerated quickly. …But the question is, how did it regenerate?”
Then, in her mind, the elixir bottle that had been caught on her feet came to mind.
I handed it over to Flora.
“It’s top notch.”
“As expected.”
Since Rebecca broke up with me yesterday, she drank the elixir and ripped out her skin, muscles, and regenerated her body.
The process is very painful and difficult to do even with a sane mind…
I don’t know why, even if I think about it.
I don’t remember that she ever bothered me.
It’s hard to think of it as atonement for me.
So suicide?
Then she wouldn’t have eaten the elixir.
Her mind was disturbed.
It was then.
“…Senior?”
Rebecca opened her eyes.
