The Academy Heroines Remember My Death

Chapter 39: Omems creep in, little by little...

Omens creep in, little by little

Hey, Hyun-a.

The boy-the girl standing in front of me glared at me with contempt.

Why is she mad? Shouldnt I be the one upset?

After all, I had never imagined she had hidden her true gender for over six years.

I was far more shocked than she should be.

Dont you have anything to say?

What do you mean?

Stop speaking nonsense, and release your skill, you bastard.

I looked into her status window.

[Status window]

Name: Lee Hyun-a

Level: 17 (1st Stage Awakener)

Status: Anxious

[Strength: 7] [Stamina: 3] [Agility: 4] [Magic: 0] [Luck: 31]

(Remaining attribute points are 0.)

Skills:

Illusion (B), Nightmare (S), Strong Hit (C)

Why didnt I realize that Illusion could also change her face and voice?

Normally, I wouldnt have been so concerned, but the message [An additional error has been added to the world.] had popped up in front of me.

The message had appeared when she activated [Nightmare]. She wouldnt know, but I had seen this message once before.

It was when I had regressed.

At that time, the message was accompanied by Seo-ah recalling her memories.

That message likely wasnt due to Ha-eun, as Hyun-a was clearly showing signs of recalling her memories.

Therefore, I spoke to her casually.

Im not sure what you mean.

Seriously, lets stop this charade. Im sure you have things you want to ask me too, so we should help each other out.

Seemingly disliking my proposal, she remained silent.

Admittedly, I was a bit upset that I had been fooled by her [Illusion], but now wasnt the time.

I guess I should thank you since I was able to survive because of you.

?

I should still express my gratitude, even to someone who has avoided us for so long. We have to talk, though.

Thats true. I should apologize for that.

I guess you remembered everything? You dont plan to lie to us anymore?

I know what I have to do.

With those words, Hyun-as body began to change. The features that I had written off as manly turned feminine, and his black hair elongated and turned blue.

Her features were now unmistakably those of a woman.

This is my true form. Are you satisfied?

Ive seen it earlier today, so Im not really surprised. Youre quite pretty, so why on earth are you wearing that shitty disguise?

I hate myself.

What in the Chunnibyo are you saying? I got goosebumps thinking you were actually Ha-eun.

You dont have to worry about it because its my own problem.

As Lee Hyun-a continued to distance herself, I couldnt help but get frustrated.

Or was I being too harsh by comparing her to Ha-eun?

Lets talk it over and be honest with each other.

How can I trust that youll tell me the truth? She asked.

You have that little trust in me? After all weve been through?

Fuck. If you have that little faith in me, what am I supposed to do?

Ill leave it up to you whether you want to believe me or not.

Whats even the point of something like that?

It means a lot to me.

Whats wrong with her? If she remembers everything that happened six years into the future, I thought she would at least be able to trust me. If she lies no matter what I ask her, what would even be the point of this conversation?

Fine, but Ill be telling the truth no matter what. I added.

The basic principle behind trust was to show the other person that you trusted them. It may sound contradictory, but for that reason, I declared I would only tell the truth.

Even after that, I wasnt sure whether she would tell me the truth or not.

Ask me anything you want.

Is Seo-ah all right?

Not a bad question. Even though shes a bit hurt, there are lots of healing skills being cast on her. I just checked up on her.

I was worried she mightve been exposed to magi, but Seo-ah and Ha-eun were both in relatively good condition.

I had also informed the chairman that I had cleared the dungeon and brought several healing artifacts to help them.

Ha-eun was currently guarding the unconscious Seo-ah, but I couldnt let my guard down.

I didnt know what would happen next, but I told Ha-eun to make a ton of noise if Seo-ah was in danger, so it should be all right.

It would also take some time for that bastard who killed me to set up a plan.

Let me ask you something then. Why did you lie about your time? Does it have such meaning to you?

Its the source of my trauma.

Your trauma? Nevermind, lets just move on.

Even if I didnt know where or why her trauma originated, it was clear that she wouldnt want to discuss it, so there was no point in talking about it.

I only have one question for you. What are these memories in my mind? Do you know something?

Well, thats quite easy to answer. Those memories are from a future six years from the present.

I see.

I didnt think youd accept it that easily.

Theres really no other explanation besides that. Does everyone remember besides me?

Everyone except Ha-eun, but I have no clue how to make her remember.

And the reason why the future is slowly changing is because of your actions, correct?

Thats right.

Upon hearing my answer, Hyun-a looked somewhat satisfied, having received an answer to her query.

Let me ask another question. How on earth can you absorb magi? Who are you, really?

I dont know.

Huh?

I really dont know.

Sigh Fine, if you dont want to tell me, we can move on.

Truthfully, I was the most interested in that answer, but it seemed clear she didnt have much interest in responding.

It wasnt like I was in the mood to interrogate her about it either.

Its not like Im in a position to ask.

Everything that had occurred within the dungeon was my fault.

Because of my poor judgment, everyone was put in danger.

It was only because of Lee Hyun-a that we managed to escape the danger, so I elected to move on.

Still Thank you. Those events will never occur, but because of you, I have some semblance of hope. She said.

Wow, Ive never heard you say thank you before, I replied.

Im not a good enough person for you to risk your life for me. You might hate me even more in the future.

What kind of nonsense is that? Ive never once thought you were a kind person.

Then why?

I just do as I please. Dont tell me you thought I did it for you?

Youre wasting your kindness on someone like me. You shouldnt place your trust in me; if you found out the truth, you would be disgusted. She said.

What a pessimist.

She was just spouting nonsense I wouldnt need to remember, so I only pretended to listen.

I dont really care about that, but are you planning on maintaining that disguise?

I have to. Youre the only one who knows that Im a girl. You arent planning on telling anybody, are you?

Not particularly. Its your right to do as you please.

Because I ran out of questions to ask her, I began to think to myself instead.

I wondered if Ha-eun and Seo-ah would agree with my sentiment.

Well, Im sure Ha-eun would.

Lets go to Seo-ah. I dont feel comfortable leaving her alone with just Ha-eun.

All right.

I didnt know whether she was comforted by the fact that I stopped asking questions or because we could check up on Seo-ah, but her expression seemed much more serene.

Before I could tell Hyun-a to reactivate her illusion before we left, we were caught.

-Tap!

Master?!

I could hear someone landing softly, accompanied by a familiar voice.

Ha-eun? Why are you here?

Even though I had told her to stay by Seo-ahs side, Ha-eun had teleported to me.

Uh Who is that girl?

Ha-eun, who had teleported here in a rush, was temporarily dumbfounded by the blue-haired girl beside me.

For some reason, she had a strange expression as she looked at me.

Ill tell you later, but why did you come here? Didnt I tell you to keep guard next to Seo-ah?

Th-That, Seo-ah was

Ha-eun, with an odd expression on her face, confided in me what had happened with Seo-ah.
