In Place of Losing My Memory, I Remembered That I Was the Fiancée of the Capture Target - Chapter 4.2
That afternoon, Theodore immediately brought Rebecca with him.
“…Does it still hurt?”
Rebecca frowned sympathetically as she looked at my face.
“A little…”
“It’s such a beautiful face, and yet…”
“…Don’t frown like that, Rebecca. It ruins your cute face too.”
I teased Rebecca, poking her forehead with my fingertip, and finally, she showed a smile.
“You still have a fever,”
Rebecca said, taking my hand while still frowning.
“But I’m not feeling sick. I’m just bored…”
I glanced at Theodore, who was standing beside me.
“I want to talk to Rebecca. Can you leave us alone?”
“But…”
“I want to hear about Rebecca and Liam-sama’s lovey-dovey stories.
“Huh… What?”
Rebecca’s eyes widened.
“You two went to the balcony together at the party, right…”
Rebecca’s cheeks turned slightly red as she remembered.
“I want to have a girl talk with her,”
I said, redirecting my gaze to Theodore.
“…I understand, Xia. Call me if you need anything,”
“Okay.”
Theodore kissed my forehead and left the room.
“Rebecca, does Theodore call you by your name at home?”
As I watched Theodore leave, Rebecca asked.
“No… It’s been since after the soirée. He’s been clingy… He doesn’t want to leave my side.”
Theodore stopped calling me “elder sister.”
Except for when we sleep and when he goes to school, he’s always by my side.
I managed to convince him to take some time off from school as well.
“He must be really worried about you.”
“…Yeah…”
Although I felt more than just concern in his gaze…
I couldn’t respond to his feelings.
“So, what about Liam-sama?”
“Uh…”
As I changed the subject, Rebecca groaned.
“…During the party, we talked a little on the balcony… but then the commotion happened when we went back.”
“’What did you talk about?’ is what I want to ask but it’s probably pretty rude.”
Rebecca smiled softly at my remark.
“Seems like you have a good impression of Liam-sama.”
“…I mean…”
Rebecca clenched her fist.
“It’s not fair.”
“Not fair?”
“I thought he was just a cold, distant guy! But he’s surprisingly talkative and gets embarrassed easily… It’s kind of cute, so…”
Ah… She’s been captured.
I was convinced when I saw Rebecca’s expression.
“…You shouldn’t be making that face right now.”
I couldn’t help but smirk.
Rebecca glared at me.
“Hum?”
“His Highness’s attitude during the debacle of that soirée. Clearly, Alexia and His Highness seems to have a special relationship.”
“Ah…”
“Bridget-sama’s face at that time…”
Rebecca sighed heavily.
“—Be careful not to be pushed down the stairs,”
Uh, that’s…
Being slapped with a fan and being pushed down the stairs are a completely different level!
Seeing me turn pale, Rebecca gave me a sympathetic look.
“To avoid it, just never go near the stairs alone. Since it’s different from the game’s development, you never know when it might happen. You always have to be careful.”
“…Even if you say that…”
Isn’t the only option left not to go to school anymore?
“—Ah, right…”
Speaking of games…
There was something I wanted to ask Rebecca about.
“Do you know about the hidden characters, Rebecca?”
“Hidden characters?”
Rebecca turned her gaze into space.
“—I’ve never played it, but… I’ve seen some information on the internet.”
“It seems like I appear in the hidden character’s route.”
“Huh?”
“I remembered that from a dream I had this morning… My friend from my past life mentioned it. But I couldn’t remember anything else.”
“A hidden character… I heard it’s pretty intense.”
“Intense?”
My friend from my past life also said something like that.
“These game’s targets are all a bit intense, aren’t they? But the hidden characters are even more extreme. They say there is a dangerous yandere characters with some really intense endings.”
“…Why would I appear in such a route?”
Dangerous endings?
“I can’t remember that… But still, there are many things that are different from the games, and Alexia is quite irregular even among them.”
Rebecca looked at me with a serious expression.
“Why did you lose your memory in the first place?”
“Huh? Um… that’s…”
I explained the circumstances to Rebecca.
“High fever… paralysis…”
Rebecca muttered as she looked at me.
“Hey, isn’t that…”
“Huh?”
“—It feels like that kind of story appeared in the game.”
“Really?”
“I… don’t remember everything about the game, so can you give me some time? Maybe I’ll remember something.”
“Sure, please.”
From the game…?
…Maybe I have something to do with the game after all.
I thought I was just a mob character.
“Next time, I’ll make some sweets and bring them over. I can also make something that doesn’t exist in this world.”
“Really? Then… how about donuts?”
I liked them in my past life.
Such a bite-sized snack… but I might get scolded for eating something nobles shouldn’t eat.
“Got it. See you later.”
Saying that, Rebecca left.
