Kaero's soft but gentle words make me unconsciously begin to doubt about the mental stability of this girl.
But, my doubts are quickly overshadowed by the obvious, Kaero, she knows that I have transmigrated to this world, it is also possible that she knows something more about me, Right?
I narrow my eyes slightly at Kaero's penetrating gaze, she bites her lower lip slightly as if struggling to make a decision.
A moment later, Kaero sighs lightly, her right hand moves quickly to my chest, her palm lightly rubs the center of my chest and she seems to smile slightly.
"You're alive, I mean, you're... strange..." Kaero lets out a slight melancholic laugh, "you have two souls inside your body, one of your souls is fine, but your other soul is in a chaotic state, hmph... no..." Kaero pauses, she closes her eyes as she rubs with a little more force the center of my chest.
Kaero's hair moving in the light wind catches my attention, she looks like a little doll, I don't know what she is doing right now, I can't feel anything besides her touch on my chest either.
"Your old soul is suffering," Kaero finally says with a bit of sorrow, she pulls her hand away from me again as she sighs lightly.
"I don't know what exactly you have, I've never seen a case like yours before, Sir Wasi, maybe it's related to a reincarnation gone wrong," Kaero murmurs lightly, she seems to have calmed down too much compared to a few moments ago.
"But..." Kaero says before pausing slightly to look me in the eye.
"If you really came here without knowing how, then, I'd like to know what... what happened to you to manage to transmigrate here," she forces a smile on her face.
"Please..." she looks a little excited.
However, before she can say or do anything, a faint sound is heard, it's the bell signaling the end of the lunch break.
Kaero sighs with some disappointment before slipping a small sheet of paper into my hands, she gestures for me to be quiet while smiling slightly at me.
After that I had to put up with some teasing words from Huanca and Poki during the training, the superior Clarity didn't say a single word to me since she gave me the mission to make Kaero fall in love with me, and today was no exception.
Huanca has been a bit nervous since this afternoon, something seems to have bothered him.
I tried to ask him if something was wrong but he didn't say anything.
Instead, he simply feigned a slight smile as he watched me with a look that was a little hard to decipher.
...
"I heard you beat up Dogor...", during dinner, Kaero to my right mutters with some glee as he looks at me.
I was about to ask who Dogor is but Kaero opens his mouth again before I can say anything.
"I mean the fat guy who was always around me and Erika..." Kaero smiles genuinely after speaking, apparently the fat guy's name is Dogor, from Kaero's words, he must be a Simp or something.
"Dogor is a tough guy, he's been around me and Erika for a long time, but... well, he's gone now, that's all that matters," Kaero sighs with some relief, "Thanks for that..." she finally says.
Kaero's words suggest that Dogor is a guy who was trying to woo her, he must have been a persevering guy since Kaero's expression is one of happiness.
I don't think Dogor has given up on "looking for Kaero's love", maybe he's just sharpening the knives.
"Aren't you sad about Erika?" I ask with some curiosity, Kaero seems to be more concerned in her strange ambition to make me take her to another world and ask things about transmigration than about Erika's state.
"Actually, it's fate, I mean, wherever Erika is right now, it's fate that brought her there..." Kaero licks his lips after speaking for some reason.
Poki and Huanca went to another table a while ago, according to them to give me some privacy with Kaero, but, I don't really know what to do.
I mean, it's not like I have a great line to fulfill the mission of the superior Clarity, it's just, Kaero seems to know too much about the world and these things, and I feel like she's not the kind of naive girl you can easily fall in love with.
"Do you miss something?" I ask, making a slight hand gesture to make Kaero understand my real question.
I mean, about transmigrating and this, I'd really like to know what Kaero lost for her to seek transmigration.
"I..." Kaero points a finger at herself as she smiles with her white teeth, there are a few bits of food at the corners of her lips which makes her look a little cute.
Kaero sighs lightly before looking down at her plate with some regret and pursing her lips, "Actually, I want my boyfriend back..." she mutters softly, her eyes twinkle slightly and a very true smile spread across her lips when she mentioned her boyfriend.
...
I guess I never had the chance to make her fall in love with me, Right?, I mutter some curses inside my mind as I too sigh with some tiredness.
"If I manage to get my boyfriend back, then, I can give you a reward..." Kaero looks at me with a slightly serious face.
"How about a small village near the big city where you could rule as a Count, you could have pretty maidservants, and marry a beautiful daughter of a Baron or something," she mumbles seriously.
Actually... now that I look at her in more detail, this girl is very naive indeed.
Does she even think that an offer like that could move me?
I mean, that's a great offer, it seems like an incredible thing, but, I don't think she could pull something like that off, and even if she could, it doesn't matter that much anyway because I'll be dead by the end of the year if I don't complete the Clarity's quest, I guess.
Kaero slowly starts to smile.
"Of course, my offer this morning was just to test you, no way I would sell you my body, my boyfriend would never forgive me...", Kaero smiles showing her white teeth.
Maybe I should beat her until I get tired.
I let out a light sigh with a slight chuckle before drinking all the water in my cup.
After that I simply tuck my forehead in and begin to meditate, no, rather, curse my damn luck for being contacted by two such strange girls in this world.
Well, a girl and a middle-aged woman rather.
Although, thinking about it from another point of view, the superior Clarity doesn't look so bad, she just looks like an ordinary woman, I think making her fall in love with me would be easier than even trying to make Kaero fall in love with me.
If superior Clarity falls in love with me, I can trick her to show her weaknesses and kill her, then maybe travel the world with a backpack on my back.
I smile slightly at that possibility and start eating.
Kaero seems very animated, telling me some common stories about the kingdom I'm in while I nod my head from time to time and enjoy the food.
By the way, What's the paper she gave me this morning for?
I tried to look for it in my pocket, but the paper seems to have simply disappeared since I couldn't find it.
I tried to ask Kaero something about it but she just tilted her head, she said she didn't know anything and that she never gave me a paper.
I looked at her suspiciously at that moment, but the clarity in her eyes made me slightly surprised, from experience, decades of experience I could tell she was telling the truth.
So... I really don't know what to think at this moment, so many things have happened that...
...
I lie down on the hard mattress of my bed, looking up at the rustic material ceiling, my eyes feel very heavy, everything is so confusing, I...
*Sigh*
A few hours later I'm still awake, I can't sleep, many things haunt my mind, the transmigration, the mission that the superior Clarity gave me, the dreams of an apparent past of mine that I don't remember, and recently the strange attitude of Kaero.
Some time later, I get out of bed half asleep, pursing my lips before walking slowly to the bathroom to relieve myself.
During the walk several thoughts about what to do go through my mind, it suddenly comes to me the idea of just killing the superior Clarity, or killing Kaero to see how Clarity reacts, even the idea of committing suicide to check if I can reincarnate again goes through my mind.
...
"Kaero said I didn't die, so..." I whisper as I wash my hands after doing my business, my eyes watching my own reflection on the mirror.
"You really are ugly... hehehe," I let out a light laugh as I observe the boy reflected in the mirror, my reflection.
A slightly messy and straight black hair, an ugly face, the ugliest I've ever seen in my life, parched lips and a slightly muscular body.
"Why don't you try the old trick with Kaero, if you do, then surely she'll fall at your feet in the blink of an eye," I squint my eyes at that words, What was that?
It sounded like a voice, not inside my mind, but in front of me, a voice that sounds exactly like mine.
My body goes slightly on alert, my eyes open, my mind works quickly and I observe my surroundings with some impatience.
However... nothing, there is nothing near me.
Observing the surroundings cautiously I blink lightly making my eyes feel like two red hot steel balls going into ice.
Opening my eyes there is something else in the bathroom, a new thing has suddenly appeared.
