My Childhood Friend Seems to be the Main Heroine. - Chapter 2

Prologue (2)

　(Uh, Who is this kid?)

　The girl is puzzled.

　She is puzzled not only by the sudden grab of her hand but, above all, by the appearance of the boy she had never met in her first life.

　Why are things happening differently from my previous life?

　No matter how hard I tried, nothing changed.

　Why, whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy? ? ?

　The girl is in turmoil due to an anomalous occurrence.

　Her head is filled with incomprehensible errors.

“Oyy! Why are you trying to jump out? Are you stupid? You’re gonna die! “

” …huh? “

　The boy loudly scolded the girl because he did not know what was going on in her mind.

　This brought to the surface the girl’s thoughts, which had been submerged in a large number of incomprehensible errors.

　After checking my surroundings, she now understood what kind of situation she was in.

　The girl was at the very edge of the waterfall cliff.

　A super dangerous zone where she would have fallen if she had taken one more step forward.

　As far as she remembers, she should have been standing a little further back.

　In other words, she was walking up to this point unconsciously.

　If she was unaware of this, it means that if the boy had not stopped her, she would have been…

“Uh, ah… I…”

　Just a few seconds.

　If the boy had stopped her later.

　The girl’s face turned pale as she imagined the worst that could have happened if something had gone wrong.

“Come here for now because it’s dangerous.”

　The boy, wondering if she had just realized it, pulls the girl’s hand and leaves the cliff.

　After walking for a while, they found a log that looked like a good place to sit down.

　They sit down side by side.

“Why did you do that? “

　The boy suddenly asked the girl, who still looked pale, why she did it.

“Ah, no, I mean. I don’t know. When I came to, I was there.”

　The girl indeed thought about dying at that time.

　But she didn’t think about actually doing it. She just got tired of thinking about the future.

　Nothing more, nothing less.

　The evidence is that the girl is terrified when she realizes she is about to die.

　That is why she does not know why she did that.

　Therefore, the girl’s answer is confusing.

“Don’t lie to me.”

“What? “

　She said what was on her mind, but the boy immediately dismissed it as a lie.

　The unexpected words are spoken to her, and she involuntarily turns her eyes to the boy next to her.

“You knew that. You knew you were in a dangerous place. But you kept going. You look like you have given up.”

“Somehow, I have some bad thoughts and emotions. But when you stopped me, I didn’t feel bad anymore. I don’t know why.”

” ………. “

　No, it’s not. She wanted to deny it.

　But the girl’s mouth was full of words as if something was stuck in it.

　Why?

　She asked herself, and the answer she got was the two words that she had not expected.

　She has said the deepest part of her heart that even she herself has not been able to realize, and she has nothing to say back to him.

　She admits it.

　She was about to die.

　Because of her good looks, she was constantly and sometimes directly victimized by the malicious stares of jealousy, hatred, and animalistic desires from many people in her first life.

　In kindergarten, she was ostracized because of her hair color.

　In elementary school, she was unreasonably snapped at and bullied because a girl liked a boy who had feelings for her.

　In junior high school, she refused a confession, and a boy attacked her and almost took away her chastity.

　Looking back, it was an unsalvageable time in elementary and junior high school.

　However, a helping hand was finally extended to her when she became a high school student.

　A boy saved her from a stalker. After that, he always came to her rescue whenever she was in danger.

　He was her ideal prince on a white horse.

　It is natural for a girl of her age to fall in love with him.

　However, she had many rivals because he also saved other pretty girls.

　After a fierce battle of appeals, she managed to get the position of his girlfriend.

　He and she went to the same university together and had very happy days.

　However, God must have disliked her a lot. Her happiness did not last long.

　She has been dating for five years. When they both started working and getting used to each other’s jobs, she suddenly witnessed her boyfriend cheating on her.

　She was one year younger than her, a junior in high school, and a former rival who had fought for him.

　They were both naked and mingling with each other.

　She remembers her vision turning red.

　Furious, she grabbed her boyfriend and asked him why he was cheating on her.

　Then he said

　一I couldn’t refuse the advances of a junior colleague who was coming on to me.

　一It was just a momentary distraction. Forgive me.

　But then,

　She couldn’t trust him anymore because he had cheated on her dozens of times, according to his cell phone history.

　She called him ‘the worst’ and left the house.

　The look on the face of the younger girl who was smiling at her so disgustedly stuck in her head and has never been forgotten.

　She couldn’t help but feel sick because of the sense of superiority she exuded, that she had stolen a man from her.

　She doesn’t remember exactly what happened from then on, but she thinks she broke up with her boyfriend and threw herself into her work, trying to forget what had happened.

　No matter how often she looks back, her life is terrible.

　It makes her nauseous.

　She doesn’t want to live like that again.

　So she tried to change it.

　But the reality is absurd.

　Children are very sensitive creatures, and they somehow know that she is different because she has adult memories, and they start to isolate her and bully her just like before.

　She can’t do this anymore.

　If she can’t change anything.

　If she has to go through the pain again.

　She’d rather… die.

　She thought.

　But… ah…

　When the miracle of this boy’s appearance occurred, she thought shallowly.

　Maybe she can still change it.

　She still wants to live.

　She wants to be happy this time.

　That’s what she thought.

　Her heart, seeing a glimmer of possibility, cried out to her not to give up.

“Are you possessed by a ghost? If so, you should control yourself! “

　Of course, he couldn’t have known what was happening in her heart, so he said something unusual.

“Um. Thank you. “

　But she thanked him in a trembling voice with tears streaming down her face, and then she asked him.

“What is your… name? “

“Minazuki, Saito. Isn’t that a cool name? “

“Minazuki… Saito. Yeah, that’s a good name. I’ll never forget it.”

“Okay, what’s your name then? “

“Machigane Riri. “

　That’s the name of the girl you saved.

　Don’t ever forget it. My precious hope.

　On that day, the girl’s gray world was brightly colored once again.

　It is said that the color in her world was never disappeared since that day.
