Chapter 58

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

I am… An assassin.

I am not Rachel.

But then, just what are these memories from Rachel?

“What’s the matter?”

I started shaking uncontrollably, and I had to embrace myself to restrain myself a bit. Makoto must have thought that I was being suspicious; she was looking right at my face.

“Your face is pale. Did you remember something?”

I can’t tell her.

Yes… It’s coming back to me.

I can’t tell her that I was an assassin. I can’t tell her about how or why I became one either.

Nor can I tell her who my target is.

I need to find Rachel.

First, I have to find her and find out why her memories are inside of me.

In the memories that I have, Rachel gave birth to a child, and right after, she lost consciousness and ended up wandering around the forest. Then for some reason, she entered my body…?

Is her spirit inside of me?

Or is it that I’m actually Rachel, but Lyra’s spirits and memories are being combined with mine?

I don’t know.

I don’t know, but first I need to find Rachel and confirm this.

“Can you please take me to Rachel? There’s something I need to make sure of.”

I asked Makoto while stopping myself from trembling.

Makoto knows where Rachel is.

And she should know how to get there as well.

“Where did you… No, nevermind. I cannot take you to her.”

“…I see.”

It’s no surprise that she would turn me down. I suddenly asked her to take me to Rachel without offering any reason after all.

But I know that even if I told her the reason, she wouldn’t believe me.

In that case, I’m going to have to go there myself.

Luckily, it seems like I can use ancient magic.

It seems like it was my powers that allowed me to teleport myself from the forest to the royal palace.

If I was able to use those powers unknowingly, then I should be able to teleport to Rachel’s place if I put my mind to it.

I don’t know how it works or how to even use teleportation magic, but for some reason, I feel like I can do it.

If Makoto’s not going to take me over there, then I will go there myself.

“I just wanted to see her once. Lord Edward often spoke about Rachel after all. But if you’re not going to take me there, that’s fine. I’ll give up on seeing her.”

That was, of course, a lie.

I’m going to sneakily go to where Rachel is.

That’s what I have decided.
