Wait, What You Mean I Got Reincarnated As A Heroine In Another World? Chapter 38 - 29 - Misunderstanding

After being consud by darkness, all of a sudden I felt a source of light.

Not long after, I opened my eyes to see a familiar black-haired figure.

A cold, yet uncannily kind-hearted girl was now smiling like a lunatic idiot.

Right. It was Azalea—talking to after the break.

"So, did you enjoy the lesson? Or were you just pretending?"

She asked with a small laugh.

"Huh? Wasn’t it fun?"

"Yeah, true. But honestly, don’t get the wrong idea."

"What do you an?"

"Magic is dangerous, Kairi" she said bluntly, her face turning serious again—cold and composed, like the Azalea I knew.

"What makes it dangerous? Or did sothing happen before?"

I asked, my curiosity gnawing at like an itch I desperately wanted to scratch.

"Kairi..."

She suddenly stopped walking and stared deep into my eyes.

"Elysia Veylith. You are the living proof of that danger."

Even I, who had only just beco aware, found myself confused by that statent.

"What do you an? Does this have to do with the cas—mmmmmfph!"

She swiftly covered my mouth with her right hand, while her other gripped mine tightly.

"Shhh, be quiet. Do you want to get arrested by the International Magic Association?" she whispered, glancing around at the other students.

I shook my head while still muffled.

But soon, she let go, and I could finally breathe freely again.

"Good. Now, let’s hurry to the professor’s office."

I gave a small nod.

We both then rushed, heading toward Professor Helena’s room.

But all of a sudden—

SWOOOOSHHH

A hand tugged at my cloak with such force that my tiny body nearly toppled.

I was perpetually dragged, helpless—like a ragdoll—until soone embraced tightly into the darkness.

Azalea, unaware of the act, looked back.

"Uh, Kairi?"

Witnessing her searching for my whereabout, I couldn’t tell I was kept in a dark by no one but—

"I’m glad you are fine." I felt wetness on my shoulder.

I rolled my eyes.

How predictable.

Big Sis Selene was on her act with the Void Rifter—or whatever.

I couldn’t care less.

"Sis, could you not?"

"No, never."

She then rolled my body to face her.

"Kairi, there is sothing I have been wanting to tell you for a long ti."

Hold on... is she going to confess her feelings? No, that cannot be...

We are sisters!

"Uh, Sis. What are you going to do? Is it important?"

"Yes, I really want to confess sothing important to you."

I stared at her, panicking internally. Is she—?

And then, without another word, she leaned in.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no—

The world seed to freeze as her lips barely brushed mine, and for a mont, I was too stunned to move.

"Sis, are you really going to do this? Why?"

"Yeah, I’ve got no choice. It’s the only way to solve it."

Wait wait wait wait... what do you an by it is the only way?!

What kind of twisted drama was this?!

"I an, if you love that badly... uh, I think, you know it’s forbidden to do..."

"Love? What do you an? Also, forbidden to what? I need to tell you sothing."

"No, you are just being drama—"

BAKSHCHAK!

A sudden sharp smack landed into my head. Previously, it was Professor Dellaetrix, now Selene my big sis. Why were people so mad at nowadays?

"I am not!" Selene snapped, flinging her arm out.

"Ouch... you hit ! This is an harrassnt!"

"No. You were the one who misunderstood my intent!"

No, wait. How could I not if all she had done was to suddenly lean in for a kiss?!

"What kind of intent that was? A forbidden one?"

Also, why was she suddenly so... loud?

It’s strange to see her being so outspoken all of a sudden.

It seed as if sothing had changed her, but not sure what it was.

"Nope, not at all. Kairi, listen to for a bit."

"You are in-truth not really my sister. You are from another world."

Huh, what?

"I don’t understand."

"If you don’t, let kiss you right away. You will after that."

"Uh, okay... if you insist..."

THWAP!

"Oww!" Wait, was it so satisfying that she had to do it twice?!

"Don’t think of sothing indecent, you desperate little sis."

"I don’t love you and I will never do. It’s just this act is obligatory."

"Your mory was sealed by a contract—a kiss."

I, who had been in disbelief, couldn’t grasp on what she was saying.

However, I wanted not to doubt her so I nodded, while closing my eyes.

Her lips brushed mine—

"sk—!"

Too quick, too close. I barely had ti to register it before—

"mmh—!"

I froze. What was happening? I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think—

Her hand was still holding , as I was helplessly pulled deeper into this strange, forbidden mont.

"shlp—!"

The wetness made it worse. I couldn’t even think straight.

"G-gnggh—!"

Roughly. Too rough. My breath kind of caught in my throat.

Not the good kind of rough. The panic kind.

I flailed internally.

My arms? Useless. My brain? Offline.

Was this how I died? Suffocated by a sibling misunderstanding?

I simply let it go...

Then—

shlp—mmfh—!

"GLRK—?!?!"

I choked on my own existence.

When I thought it was over for , all of a sudden, her tongue slipped in, exploring the depth of my mouth... it felt so good, and by then, everything was connected.

My head was above the cloud nine, visualizing a similar experience.

Two girls. The sa two girls. Locked in ti, lips eting in eerie stillness.

One kiss.

Then another.

The ti we tripped, fell, and—mouths—oh no.

"Mmmff—no, stop—stop—"

My brain hit rewind. Replayed everything in slow motion.

My body? Gone. Soul? Ascending.

mories? Returning.

And by the ti she finally let go—

I rembered everything. My past. Those remnant fragnts. Everything.

After such an intense, very much unwanted make-out session, she pulled away.

"So, how was it? Do you rember it now?"

"It was suffocati— I an, yes. I do now, Selene."

I hadn’t got the knack to keep going—not when she was piercing with a glare that could’ve lted stone.

She looked breathless, brushing her lips with the back of her hand.

She sighed, hard. As if she had just finished CPR on a mythical dragon.

"Hah... if only your mind was never slipping away, none of this would’ve happened."

Huh, excuse ? I’m the one slipping?!

Who was the one who made slip on my own?!

And let’s not forget—it was her brilliant idea to tongue-punch my mory box!

What a slippery slope that turned out to be.

It seed the joke had completely slipped out of her head by now.

Yes, Selene. You were the joke.

"Oh, slipping away, huh? So that’s how you’re gonna play this? You an my clumsiness was the issue? I’m sorry, I didn’t realize my own accident was such a slippery situation for you."

I paused my response for a while, then continued with a biting remark.

"You know, Selene, speaking of slipping—didn’t you forget first? Must’ve been slippery enough for you to leave your mory in the dust. Real impressive."

"Okay, you are gonna rub that in for this, aren’t you?"

"Well, let remind you, Kairi. I didn’t forget."

"It’s just... it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought. A miscalculation. And like I said before, you slipped away on your own. But now, I was the one who strugglws to put things back together."

"Oh my, a miscalculation? A walking computer like you did that kind of error? No wonder. Maybe next ti, you’ll rember you had a contract with , and not just how it got all... slipped away."

Selene rolled her eyes, but with a sign of affection.

"Always a sharp tongue, huh? I can’t believe I’m stuck with you, even a sister."

"Could you at least pretend to let off the hook for just a minute? I’m not the only one who’s slipping through everything."

I tapped my chin, mocking her in a thoughtful manner.

"Hey, at least I wasn’t the one who spent weeks thinking I was your ’perfect’ little vessel, only to find out I was the one who was actually slipping away from the whole deal."

"Well, at least you rembered to give a ’big sis’ mont as a bonus in my book."

"Okay, could you not?! You are the worst, Kairi. Anyway, you’re right. I’m sorry—for everything. For the mistakes. And for all the... slipping, I suppose. Happy?"

"Well, if you’re really sorry, then maybe next ti... don’t forget who I am. Maybe then we won’t end up in such a slippery situation. Or else, I will make you pay."

"Okay, no—please. Anything but that!" She scowled like an owl.

I ignored her, imdiately getting into the main topic.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. So, Selene... how did you get here?"
