"Elder sister! Here, here!"
A boy with platinum blond hair looks over here, with aquamarine blue hair sparkling waving his hand.
I Ceres Roseblade with my blood divided twin younger brother - Rihito Roseblade.
Whom is also, Edrushutain kingdom"s Roseblade territory"s Earl Madoku Roseblade"s oldest son, the next head of house.
In other words, I am his elder sister as well as the daughter of the Earl, a very good position.
I inherited my mother"s blonde hair both of us being blue eyed currently ten year old twins. With that said we were surrounded by adults and grew up cherished, we"ve had a considerably happy life.
The thought – I wish my younger twin brother were here from my previous life where here - crossed my mind.
That"s because the memories from my last life recently resurrected.
Apparently, it seems I transmigrated to a different world.
The world I transmigrated to, unlike Earth the people can normally use [magic]. Also, there are monsters like in games.
That being said, it"s not like it"s only a world of swords and magic either, there"s some scientific growth as well.
If you were to compare the world - the place would be said to be like… it had the image of 19th century"s England?
However……I thought it was just something that was in a light novel or a manga.
But to think, such a thing is really happening.
For the time being, I know that I was a j.a.panese high school girl…….
Why did I transmigrate to a different world? How did I die? The thing I wanted to know the most, I couldn"t quite recall.
For some reason, which don"t quite understand, it makes me very sad when I think about it.
Was it really that cruel of a death?
"Wait, Rihito! If you hurry that much —-"
"Ah–!"
Look at that, just as I was about to say it he fell down……
When I took a look, as I thought, his knee was bleeding.
"Are you ok!?"
I ran up in a panic to Rihito said "I"m ok" with a smile. Then, he started to chant the magic [Kuraru].
A dazzling green light is shot from his hand to his knee, I instinctively closed my eyes.
Then, the gash was recovered completely the next second.
"Ii naa, Rihito……. At this age, being able to use magic of all attributes. I, after being inspected, cant use magic at all"
While I was complaining, Rihito glanced over at me. Then, with a wry smile "There"s still a chance, it"ll be alright" he said.
In this world, people that can practice magic are called "Holders", those that can"t are called "Rian" and that"s how they"re distinguished.
In other words, this is a world of magic supremacy. Anyways, magic is absolute. Those that cannot use magic have nothing but discrimination.
Generally speaking, holders don"t really start to show signs until they"re 15 years old.
Because of that, a "Magic inspection" is done a total of 3 times, 5, 10 and 15 years old……. The inspection was done today but no magic was able to be confirmed.
Only the final 15 year old inspection is left, at that time, if magic isn"t confirmed then I am to be sent to an isolation facility as a Rian.
At that time, even if magic can"t be practiced, even if there is even the slightest magical numerical value is seen it seems to be safe…… or something like that.
Before, fathers—this worlds second father I asked, "If I am sent to the isolation facility, what will become of me?
Then he said……"Every case is different but, everyone is born with magic. As evidence, until 100 years ago, there was never any record of any a Rian. In other words—those unable to use magic have an illness that disturbs the flow of magic. Therefore [Rian] are sent to the isolation facility, they"re given daily drug therapy and other therapies. Because of that, it"s rare but there are those that become able to use magic after the treatment"
Then Rian were regarded as dangerous as the reason - apparently, in the past, cases of violence by Rian happened frequently.
More concretely said…… regardless of the person"s intention, there are times when they will go out of control for absolutely no reason.
Symptoms began to remarkably appear when the final magic inspection is done at 15.
Because of that prejudice…… thou undesirable, the statistics have been tallied for the last 100 years about Rian since they began to appear, Father said the data was fairly credible.
Then, after long term research, "Originally the blossoming magic that should have been controlled, was influencing the human brain in a harmful way" is what was understood it seems.
In short, it turns out that Rian"s are seized before they are able to commit a crime.
On the other hand, there are those that don"t get sent to the facility. That"s in the case they have a Master.
In this world, those that have more than expected magic consistency, are permitted to have a Rian as a subordinate.
A worse way of saying it would be [slave]. A good way of calling it would be [maid] or [butler], something like an employee.
Actually, most of those with that t.i.tle are Rian.
If you were to ask why, it would be that most Holders don"t want to do that kind of work, it seems.
Those with magic tend to have a lot of pride is it?
But, for those that have a good master, they"re treated very well and given high status.
The Rian that get such treatment are visited by the Inspector General and given a regular dose of the drug once a month.
But, compared to the isolation facility, I think the over-site is fairly lax.
"Elder sister, are you ok?"
In the future, I"m uneasy about being sent to the facility, Rihito looks at me with an anxious face.
"Sorry, I"m ok. Other than that, this is—"
"……Do you remember?"
I"m standing in front of the relatively simply made chapel.
Recently, my memories of this world and the old world became confused……if I remember correctly this is the place where I came to after my 5 year inspection. The two of us decided to "explore" the area looking around the research facilities.
"Un. We came here before didn"t we?"
"That"s right. Let"s, go inside!"
I replied and Rihito happily pulled my hand.
In order to be free for anyone to pray, it seems it"s open for anyone to come freely.
Going inside, a wonderful stained gla.s.s window jumps into view.
Rihito and I gazed solemnly at the stained gla.s.s, still holding hands.
Speaking of which, I remember being impressed at that time too.
"……That time, I said "when I grow up, I"m going to marry elder sister. We"re going to hold our wedding here" do you remember that?"
Rihito with a bashful look, squirms while nervously asking.
I love such a little brother, I instinctively touched my cheek. Rihito is really cute.
I"ve firmly become a brocon in this world too.
"Of course! I properly remember!"
"I"m happy you remember. But—huh, I"m serious you know? …… I, this time really want to be connected to elder sister"
"Eh……?"
Rihito floats a precocious expression as he declares seriously. There is a sense of incompatibility and déjà vu.
The often said "When I get older I"m going to make big sister my bride!" by those and feelings……somehow it feels strange.
He looked straight into my eyes, it strongly felt like the eyes of a man with that intention.
……That"s right. In my old world my younger brother, when he was younger, said something similar.
Since having my memories of my old world resurface, his and Rihito had a similar feeling in some ways …… but nothing like as much as today.
Besides, what do you mean by "this time"?
"Nozomu said the same thing……"
Before I noticed it, the name of my old world"s younger brother came out.
In that instant my chest became so tight it was painful, there was pain and sorrow at the same time that made me have a lump in my throat.
I feel a trickle of tears falling along my cheek, before long I"m not able to stop at all.
"Huh…… why are tears falling? It"s weird……they won"t stop"
I didn"t worry about my clothes getting wet as I single-mindedly wiped my tears with my sleeve.
That"s right, I died. This is my second life. Therefore I shouldn"t be able to meet Nozomu.
"I want to see Nozomu… I want to see him…"
Suddenly sobbing and calling out the name of some unknown person, I wonder what Rihito is thinking.
He must be perplexed. Thinking that I catch a glance of Rihito"s face.
Then, he too, a little teary-eyed looked at me with gentle eyes.
"……You already seen him"
"Rihito……?"
I didn"t understand what he was saying, I blinked repeatedly.
Rihito wipes my tears with his finger, then smiles happily.
"It"s Chizuru after all……I felt it was like that. Well, I was almost convinced……"
"……!"
The moment I heard my name from my old world I was convinced. It can"t be a mistake, Rihito is…….
"Are you……Nozomu?"
"Ah…….We meet again didn"t we?"
Rihito put his small hands on my back, with still uncertain feelings, embraced me.
With nostalgia and feelings of relief making my back warm since who knows when, I instinctively embrace him back and hold him closely.
"I thought it wouldn"t be possible to meet you any more……I"m so happy to meet you again……"
"Me too. Regretfully, we reincarnated as twin brother and sister again……"
"Un……? Why is it bad that we siblings?"
"Could it be, you don"t remember? The day that we died……"
"Sorry, about then I can"t quite recall…… Why did even Nozomu die? If you can please tell me—"
"No……if you can"t remember, it"s better to not force yourself to remember."
He said that and was thinking about something in silence. Apparently, we died in some truly miserable way. (TN: Ah truck-kun so easily forgotten)
"That reminds me……when did your memories return?"
"Aa…… about a year ago"
"Oh I see. But……I never said a word about "transmigration", you did well to know it was me."
"yeah…… I have confidence that no matter how much your appearance changed I would still know it was you. Then no matter what appearance you were to take my love wouldn"t change. Even if you were to become a ugly complete monster - I think I would still love you."
Rihito said with a painful expression, his eyes move to the stained gla.s.s again, with a faraway look in his eyes.
"Even if I were a monster……!? Your siscon style is alive and well isn"t it!"
"………"
I replied and he closed his eyes and was silent.
"Sorry. Did I say something strange?"
"……I don"t mean it like that, think about it"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Rihito looked at my face while asking that, his cheeks quickly blush to a bright pink, "You don"t remember after all" he muttered and looked down.
I don"t really understand but, that appearance with that kind of pretty boy appearance is so cute. I"d be happy just patting his head.
"Aa, mou, each little thing is so cute! That reaction on that face is foul play"
I went around behind him and clung to his neck. Thou Rihito struggles in my arms, it makes him blush more and more.
When he said "I want to connect this time" a little while ago I became worried…… probably, meeting for the second time made his siscon manner even stronger.
Anyways, meeting my beloved younger twin brother from my previous live, it"s like a dream.
I thought this would be an uneventful second life together - is what I believed at that time.
I never knew the problems that were to come…….
