“So? What do you want to ask me?”

For some reason, Silver was sitting on the bed today. He didn’t even brew me a cup of tea. When I got back to the dormitory, I told my attendant to take a seat.

I sighed at the folly and took off my black wig.

My violet hair danced into the corner of my vision. Even if my hair was sweaty, the familiar color reassured me.

Even more so after what’d just happened.

“What is a reincarnator?”

“Eh, that’s what you’re asking?”

I furrowed my eyebrows at his scoff.

At that, Silver quickly waved his hands.

“No, no, I wasn’t making fun of the young lady… It’s just, up until now, I’ve brought that topic up many times. It seems that I wasn’t taken seriously, which is rather lonely…”

“That’s because I thought you were joking! A reincarnator is basically someone who reincarnated, yes…?”

“Correct, I came from another world with the memories of my previous life intact. In this world, I was reborn as ‘Silver.’”

“Which means… you’re some kind of a superhuman?”

Silver burst out laughing at my question.

“No, I don’t think so.”

“What do you mean?”

“While it’s true that I’m immune to poison, that’s simply because of the goddess’ whim. Other than that, I’m an ordinary human being. My physical strength is on par with others, and I don’t have any special skills. I also can’t use magic.”

…Certainly, he never showed any super abilities.

If he fell, he’d get hurt. He could also catch colds. I knew because I’d been living with him since childhood. I’d probably seen the pathetic sides he wanted to hide from everyone, too.

“By the way, I asked the Goddess to make me look the way I did in my former world, for I had a handsome face and good body to boot. My hair and eye colors were made to match this world, though.”

…He had WHAT? Okay, his confidence is super, at least.

“Also, I’m good with my hands. My charm is also a gift from my previous life!”

“Ginza number one, was it…?”

“That’s right! What I’m saying is, I have been excellent from the start! So, if you’re going to praise me, I want you to praise me for being me, instead of being a reincarnator! I even took down a member of the Yandere Squadron today, as well! Heap more praises?”

“…Ugh.”

He took my hand and brough it under his chin.

This is… Is he telling me to pet him like a cat or dog?

I began to rub the soft part of his chin, and he narrowed his eyes at how it tickled him.

—What’s so fun about this…?

When I pondered about the peculiar situation, Silver, overjoyed, hugged my waist, which in turn, caused me to topple over. We collapsed on the bed with Silver beneath me. He soon brought me to his chest, before laughing out loud.

“Aah~ You really didn’t believe me until now? It’s been twelve years since I was reincarnated, and only now you believe me?”

Why is he sniffing me? It’s kind of frustrating.

I was annoyed because it was as if he was treating me like a fool.

“Well, it’s fine.” After laughing carelessly, he combed my hair. His actions were very gentle.

“Hey, Milady. Does the fact that I’m from another world disgust you?”

“Eh?”

I looked up at him, resting my chin on top of his solid chest.

“Either way, you’re still the Silver that I’m familiar with, right?”

“Do you know someone better?”

“No, that’s not what—…”

When I frowned, he tightly hugged my head.

“Haha, Milady is the best!!”

—It hurts, it really hurts!

I couldn’t breathe when he squeezed me like that! Once I managed to raise my head, Silver’s joyful expression greeted me from up close.

“Then, please continue to support Silver, the finest man in the world.”

—I never said any of that!

But no matter how much I thought about it, when I tried to think of another decent man, I could only think of my father. I didn’t want to be thought of as a daddy’s girl, so I averted my gaze.

***

The eighth day of the loathsome battle came, but it was a truce since Prince Redmond and Bruno were scheduled to return from their investigation in the royal castle tomorrow.

“Is His Highness Redmond the only remaining enemy? This is like a save point before the final boss.”

“Yet another outlandish remark…” I complained to Silver.

As I alighted from the carriage, Silver held out his hand to me. My steps were feathery, because Silver also had a point. I couldn’t openly call Prince Redmond my enemy, but I should be free from the yanderes today.

A normal, uneventful day where I could focus on my studies. The exams were approaching, so it was the perfect time for sure. I was still unsure about my future, but I wouldn’t lose anything by acing my exams.

The sky was lush and clear. What a pleasant morning…

…As I thought about such a normal student-like thing;

“Lady Lumiere, I’ve been waiting for you.”

In front of the gate, a butler was bowing to me.

Of course, it wasn’t silver. The man with short, lustrous yellow-green hair was none other than Ragri, the former servant of Prince Redmond who was currently serving Prince Grimwald. For that reason, he was also present during yesterday’s excursion. It went without saying that I was acquainted with him.

—Is it an apology for yesterday?

I looked around, but Prince Grimwald was nowhere to be seen.

Then, Ragri spoke.

“Today, His Highness Grimwald is absent due to poor health.”

“I see. Then, can you deliver my words of sympathy to him?”

“Of course.”

As expected, for us to have a conversation after what took place yesterday was difficult. Thankfully, Prince Grimwald was sensible. I had no business with him, so I turned to leave. “I’ll be excusing myself.”

For some reason, Ragri grabbed my arm.

“Please wait.”

“Do you still need something?”

“That’s right. May I serve as your attendant for the whole day today?”

“Huh?”

“—If you don’t mind, may I be in your discretion from now on?”

“Huh???”

—What’s happening!?

Besides, if his master was sick, wasn’t it his duty to take care of him!?

Not only that, he expressed his wish to serve me.

He might have gotten tired of Prince Grimwald, but if so, shouldn’t he return to Prince Redmond, and not me!?

Or, was it because I’d been doing ‘Kyururun’ for the past few days?

Behind me, who was stupefied, Silver suppressed his laugh as usual.

“Another yandere has appeared.”
