Up until this day, I still haven’t found the cause behind the oddities I felt. I thought of consulting this with soone, but who should I tell this to? Obviously, Father and Mother wouldn’t make good listeners. Clyde and Nicole? Perhaps, but will they know what’s going on with when I don’t even know that myself?
Days passed by while I was doing my daily routine and rest, still pondering over the oddities that still haunted until now. My 14th birthday was coming soon, so I was also preparing for the birthday party that would act as a celebratory party to my miraculous recovery as well.
So ti before my birthday, I requested going out to the downtown to take a breather, to which my mother responded badly. It was within my expectation, after what happened to the last ti I requested going out...
In the end, we compromised with each other and I was allowed to go outside as long as Mary and Jane followed . Well, I didn’t need to go to the Cell Donor Foundation or the likes of it anymore, so I didn’t mind having soone accompany this ti.
We went out after having lunch in the residence. The sunlight was quite harsh, so Mary and Jane brought an umbrella each, and it was up to to walk under whose umbrella. That was how I protected my fair complexion from getting burnt by the sunlight.
We went shopping in the downtown. Although I wasn’t so interested in clothes, it would be good for to buy so after not buying anything for almost a year.
“This one will look good on you, Reinst-sama!”
“No, I think this one is better!”
Mary and Jane were so pumped in selecting clothes for .
“I think both are good,” I said as I solved the problem. It was true that both were to my liking, after all.
I didn’t spend a lot of ti in the apparel section, however, as I quickly moved to the books, show, and gas section. I spent more ti there as I liked seeing the physical edition compared to the digital version.
I scoured the new section of them and found another horrifying fact.
It seed that so of the newer ones were so familiar to , despite their release date clearly contradicted my thought that I had seen them before my comatose.
Not all of them, but so that I thought would be interesting.
Was this really clairvoyance?
Thinking about it, I moved to find so books about clairvoyance to learn about it in more details.
I picked several books and moved to the cashier.
As I looked at the clock, I noticed that it was almost evening, which ant, ti to go back.
Next to the clock was a holographic caster which was displaying the news. At that ti, I caught a glimpse of the headline and my attention was focused on it imdiately.
“Currently, there is another beautiful phenonon that we can witness: another teor shower, starting right now. As you can see from this screen, it shows the current darkening sky with several twinkling teor showering down...”
I took a look at the screen carefully and saw the beautiful phenonon of teor shower before I turned to look outside the store window. The sky was darkening, and there were a few teor showering, indeed.
It was at that ti.
I was attacked by another sense of dejavu.
Right...At that ti, it was also a teor shower and I was hit by a stray teorite until I died...
Huh?
But I didn’t die...?
But...Wait, did I die?
Let see, after dying, I t with a god in the form of a light and then—
mories flooded my mind in that instance.
“Your na is Alrescha Lyra Hartmann.”
“Thank you for being born, Lyra.”
“How do you know that I’m Clyde from the Grabberton family?”
“You are my first friend!”
“Oh my, you’re so similar to Reinst, my friend!”
“I’m...Iris.”
“You possess a dragon blood, Lyr.”
“Big Sis Lyra!”
“Aneki~!”
So many flashbacks. So many unknown people’s faces and voices flashed in my mind, but I felt like they were all familiar.
No, my head...It hurts...
...I almost fell due to my headache. I propped my head with my hand as my maids propped my body from falling.
“Reinst-sama, what’s happened?!” Mary asked in concern.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Jane also asked.
“No, I...,” I swallowed my saliva as my head was still processing all the mories—of another person, yet it was so familiar to .
That’s right, I...
One year ago, after turning thirteen and right after submitting my cell donation form, I was hit by a stray teor by an ‘accident’ and died. Then, I t a god who forced to reincarnate...as Alrescha Lyra Hartmann, seven years after my death.
After reincarnating, I...made so many happy mories.
That’s right, I was finally able to beco happy after my forced reincarnation.
But why did I suddenly beco Reinst again, who just woke up from almost a year of comatose?
Was it all just a dream, then?
All that happiness, all the friends I made as Lyra...
Was it all just an empty dream that I fantasized on during my comatose?
“...way...,” I muttered.
“Reinst-sama?” Mary couldn’t hear properly and asked.
“There’s no way that’s true, isn’t it?!” I shouted as I imdiately ran off outside.
“Reinst-sama!!” Mary and Jane were alerted right away, but I didn’t care.
I ran as I looked up at the sky, the teor shower was still ongoing, and there were many onlookers who were imrsed in the teor shower’s beauty. There were also so people who quickly advised the onlookers to evacuate for fear that the teorites would stray from its path and hit them. Perhaps I was a good example of it.
And amidst them all, I was running without stopping. I was running with all my might.
“Please wait, Reinst-sama!” Mary’s flustered voice could be heard from behind.
“Reinst-sama, what’s the matter?” Jane’s voice could also be heard from behind.
What’s the matter, you ask?
Even if I were to tell you, it won’t do any change. You won’t ever get it anyway.
So, I decided to ignore them and ran, chasing after the teorites.
Why?
Why was it like this?
What’s the use of getting my hopes up then destroying it all like this?
Was it fun toying with my feelings?!
I was so angry that my eyes started to feel hot. Tears welled up from my lacrimal glands, threatening to fall down my cheeks.
Due to it, my vision turned blurry, yet I still ran, chasing after the teorites.
The flooding mories still continued up until now.
Mom, Dad, Alt-nii, Freyr, Freyja...I miss you. You guys are my family that I love so much.
I silently said in my heart as their faces appeared one by one. I could imagine them smiling as they called my na vividly.
“Lyra! Lyra-nee!”
I miss you, I miss you.
And then, the faces of my friends flashed.
Clavis, Luca, Leticia, Kiri, Iris, Carbuncle, Harvey, Briar, Valerie, Dmitria...
I made lots of friends already in ‘that’ life.
Yet, was it all for vain? Was it all just my dream? A dream that won’t co true? Just how many dreams do I have to bury?
My eting with the god in the form of a light flashed again.
“What’s your wish? What do you really want?”
Well, God—if you ask that again now, then I want you to give back my life as Lyra.
I was so focused on seeing the sky that I didn’t see what was on my feet, and so I tripped and fell.
...Damn it, I couldn’t think straight anymore.
I felt like crying, but I shouldn’t cry because it was inappropriate crying in public—oh well, screw that. I couldn’t hold my tears back as I cried.
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!” I scread in my anger at the sky, at the teorites.
“REINST-SAMA!!” Mary and Jane shouted as they saw tripping and shouting.
“WHY!? Why won’t you hit and kill again?!” I angrily shouted at the teorites in the sky.
When Mary and Jane were about to reach , I ignored the pain I felt on my knees and stood up to run again.
“Reinst-samaaa!!” The two of them were flustered, but I knew they would stop after they managed to grab , so I ran again.
“Hit ! Now, co at ! I’m ready!” I scread as I moved closer to the direction the teorites were headed to.
Then, in a mont, there was a teorite headed my way.
“Co!” I said as I stood still, waiting for the teorite to hit .
“Milady!!” Mary and Jane shouted as they desperately ca my way, but I still didn’t move an inch.
I closed my eyes, readying myself for the death that was delayed for a year.
But...
I didn’t feel any pain.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a small teorite falling next to .
Why...?
Why did you miss ?
I was so frustrated that I fell down to my knees and just cried.
I was normally soone who would hold back her feelings, but perhaps the ‘mories as Lyra’ caused to just express my sadness right now and right there.
“Uuuh...Why...why?!”
As I cried, Mary and Jane arrived next to .
“Milady, are you alright?” Mary asked.
“Let’s go ho and treat your wounds. What’s the matter?” Jane also asked.
“...It’s nothing,” I said as nobody would believe even if I said the truth.
“Thank goodness you’re alright. Reinst-sama, you surprised . It’s raining teor outside too, if sothing were to happen to you again...,” Jane’s voice trailed off.
I turned to look at the piece of teorite lying down next to as my tears started to dry off.
“Can you walk?” Mary asked.
“...Sure,” I said as I stood up, both of my maids were grabbing my hands.
As I was about to walk back, the piece of teorite that fell from the sky caught my eyes.
There was sothing glittering on it?
Thinking that it was odd, I took the teorite in my hand and saw that there was so kind of a magical jewel embedded in it.
...Even so, it couldn’t hit and bring to the life I had longed, huh...?
Though I was utterly disappointed by the turn of events, I decided to take the small teorite as I walked back to my carriage in order to go ho.
Was I just adding salt to my wound, though, by taking this piece of teorite back? Wouldn’t this remind of the vexing reality and my dream life in my imagination?
Once again, I looked up at the sky and scolded a certain soone in my heart.
Why didn’t you ‘experint’ on the teor shower and really hit ...?
Although I didn’t know if that certain soone was my made-up god or really existed...
