Volume 1
Chapter 4
I Encountered Someone
From My Hometown
Translator : PolterGlast
Runa Kakyōin, the only
daughter of the prestigious Kakyōin family, possessed talents that everyone
envied.
First of all, her
appearance was perfect. A well-defined nose, slightly red lips, upturned eyes,
and golden hair that accentuated these facial features—anyone who saw her would
inevitably associate her with "beauty". Furthermore, her breasts were
neither too large nor too small, but just the right size, and her toned body and
accentuated hips drew the attention of both the opposite and the same sex.
She was intelligent.
Growing up in a prestigious family, she had received an elite education from a
young age. However, her talent was such that it made all the tutors hired by
her family groan. When given a problem, she would submit an answer that was
more than perfect, and when given an instrument, she would demonstrate skills
that could rival those of a rare genius, and she had already mastered three
foreign languages by the time she was in elementary school.
She was also athletic.
If she was made to do one sport, she would demonstrate the same level of skill
as an experienced person after just one try, and within a few days, she would
have the ability to make a living from that sport alone.
And she never
neglected her efforts. Those who were called "perfect" would no
longer desire any other evaluation. Therefore, in order to continue being
called "perfect," she never failed to make behind-the-scenes efforts.
Possessing such
talents, she entered a prestigious private girls' school as a
"prodigy" of the Kakyōin family. Naturally, her evaluation there was
also perfect. Because of that, she had already lost her stimulation in life.
It was only natural
that such a perfect woman would have stalkers, and she was unaware that their
blade was approaching her from behind.
As a result, while
casually walking home from school, she was stabbed in the back with a knife by
a stalker with an excessive delusion.
□□□
"Haa? Another
world?"
"That's right.
You're lucky, girl."
Runa's soul, which had
been taken by the stalker, was staying in a pure white space where a girl who
called herself a goddess resided, just like Kushina.
"What are you
talking about...? Is this some kind of TV show or something? To do something
like this to me... you seem to have a lot of guts. Call the person in
charge."
"Sigh... Why are
the reincarnators chosen recently so skeptical? The previous one thought it was
all a dream until the very end... sigh..."
As if annoyed by the
goddess's sigh, Runa's eyebrows twitched.
"You're acting
pretty cocky. Don't you know who I am?"
"Then, let me ask
you in return. What is your last memory before coming here?"
Runa's face flushed,
thinking, "You dare to call me 'you'...!," but as a brilliant girl,
she took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
(Wait, calm down, Runa.
Unless something unusual happens, they won't ask you to recall your previous
memories. That means there's something important about your memories before
coming here. Come on, remember, Runa. What was I doing...?)
Runa began
self-hypnosis and a journey through her memories, but she froze. The memory she
wanted to recall was surprisingly close.
The content was
terrible. She was stabbed in the back with great force from a blind spot and
fell before feeling any pain. The man behind her, who she saw as she was
falling, had an ugly smile on his face, and the sudden sensation of floating
planted fear in her heart. And then, as she fell, she began to gradually become
aware of the pain, the pain, the pain───
Her face gradually
turned pale, and her body began to tremble, and then───she covered her mouth.
"Ugh! Oegh!
Geeh..."
Only gastric juice
came out of her stomach.
"It seems you've
remembered."
Runa wiped her mouth
and looked at the goddess with teary eyes.
(What... was that
memory...?)
Confused by the
incomprehensible memory, she choked again, feeling the pain and fear still
vividly in her brain.
"It seems you've
realized that you're dead. I've seen the likes of you before, so I was
wondering what to do if another unaware person came."
Who does she mean by
'the likes of you'? ───Considering that she
said he was unaware of his death, it was most likely Kushina.
The goddess nodded
contentedly, even though there was a girl vomiting and choking in front of her.
"Alright, then
let's start the reincarnation procedure."
The goddess clapped
her hands twice and smiled at Runa.
□□□
And now, Runa was
sitting alone in a forest where no one else could be seen. Of course, like
Kushina, she had received three special skills.
Her clothes were the
same as before she died. A dark brown blazer and a short navy blue mini-skirt,
the school uniform of her school. Since it was a slightly chilly season, she
was wearing a brown fur coat over it.
Where Runa was now, as
far as the eye could see, there was nothing but forest, forest, forest───.
For a girl who had
been raised as a young lady, she was confused by this situation where there
were no buildings or even a place to sleep.
"What is this
place...?"
She was a little
upset.
Suddenly waking up in
an unknown place, with only painful and terrifying memories and her usual
clothes. Anyone would be confused, and anyone would be angry at this
unreasonableness. ─── Or maybe they would
feel an indescribable fear of suddenly waking up in an unknown place.
"........."
Runa stood up from her
kneeling position.
And she began to look
around to try to understand her current situation a little better.
───But that was suddenly
interrupted by a roar that she heard.
A shock that blew away
even the trees.
Just then, the trees
around Runa were shattered and blown away by something, and at the same time, a
considerable amount of wind assaulted her.
"───!"
Runa instinctively closed
her eyes and held down her skirt and hair───
Splat, splat, splat
Then, something like a
liquid splashed all over Runa's body.
"…………Eh?"
Feeling that
sensation, Runa cautiously opened her eyes.
The liquid on her───it was
"blood".
"Huh... huh? ...huh?"
Runa lowered her
waist, which she had just raised. Her body trembled involuntarily, and she
couldn't muster much strength.
The inexplicable
situation gave her fear.
Guchi, guchu guchu,
guchi───
But the situation
changed, and it seemed as if it didn't care about Runa.
In the area that had
been cleared by the shockwave from something earlier, something disgusting,
like a lump of flesh, floated up and changed shape while absorbing something
else from the surroundings.
Runa looked at it with
a distressed expression, as if to say, "What now!?"
□□□
"Oh... I was
blown away quite a bit."
The fierce wind caused
by the tiger's roar───as a result, my body
was instantly torn apart, and my flesh was scattered.
...But, still, I'm
alive. Even after receiving a blow from such a strong opponent, I'm still
alive.
"Fufu...
fufufu..."
Is there anyone who
wouldn't feel pleasure from this? Is there anyone who wouldn't be excited in a
situation where I can feel life so closely?
At least, I'm having a
lot of fun now───no, I've come to know
the feeling of fun.
"Nice... very
nice...!"
The corners of my
mouth naturally turned up.
I want more, let's do
more.
I'm alive.
As long as I'm alive,
let's kill each other.
That's how I raised my
gaze───and immediately, a
girl sitting on her butt caught my eye.
"Eh? Eh?
Eh...?"
"...Who?"
For the first time, I,
who had never initiated a conversation, asked her a question.
