Chapter 123: Her Secrets Part four
Chapter 123: Her Secrets Part four
Alissa came out of the bath in a long white shirt and sat down next to me on the couch. I had been sitting here going over how I should explain things to Alissa, but no matter how I phrased it, I still couldn't help but feel nervous that Alissa would reject me. It got me thinking What if this was the start of the villainess route for me. You know, like the female lead fell in love with me only to find out that I was some kind of monster. Due to this betrayal, she became stronger and stronger until one day she shows up in front of me in her final form and shouts: "Unlimited Blade Works!" and then I get impaled by thousands of swords. I know I am way overthinking things but still It could happen
Alissa began fidgeting as she slid right up next to me. I knew she was about to ask something embarrassing, and she, of course, did not let me down. "Rei Can I kiss you?"
"I am not saying you can't, but first I think I should tell you something." I decided I was going to lay it all out for Alissa.
But it seems she was taking my words in the wrong way. "Rei, are you breaking up with me!? Did I do something wrong!?"
Seeing her on the brink of tears made me wrap her in my arms and hug her tight. "No, stupid if anything, after what I have to say, you may end up hating me..."
"Huh? Why would I hate you!?" Alissa asked.
"Well, what if I told you I am not actually Rei Lancaster? Well... Physically I am, but soul wise I am not." I slowly explained.
Alissa seemed very confused by my words, so I continued. "You see, the real Rei Lancaster died of an illness. I don't know how it happened, but when I died in my old world, I ended up here, and my soul entered Rei Lancaster's body. I also have this weird system thing as well. I can do things like this..."
I pulled out a pillow from my inventory from the air in front of me and then put it back. "This is my inventory. It lets me store items in it. Although my system is in an upgrading mode, so I am limited on its futures right now, but I can still access three parts of it. My inventory, saving and teaming. Saving allows me to save at any location. So if I were to die, I would be revived at my last saved location, which just so happens to be this couch right now. The teaming function lets me team with someone, and if I were to die, they would be able to keep their memories of all the events that had happened from the time I saved and to the time of my death. If my team member were to die, I could revive them with an item from the system store."
"Does Able know about this?" Alissa asked, interrupting my explanation.
"Hmm? Yeah, he is already teamed with me." I replied.
"I want to be teamed with you too! It's not fair that Able get's to be in your team, and I can't!" Alissa suddenly yelled out, causing me to be taken aback. I couldn't help but smile. This was just like Alissa. It seemed she did not like being left out.
"So you're not freaked out by me?" I asked just to be sure.
"Why would I be freaked out about you? You were the Rei I first met, right?" Alissa put her hands on her hips and asked seriously.
"Yes, I was. At least, I think. I do not have the old Rei Lancaster's memories, so if it was the day in the alley when you stopped those kidnappers, then yes, I am."
"Then there is no issue. Rei, you are the Rei I know, even if the body belonged to someone else. But I have to ask this You won't disappear on me, right? The original Rei Lancaster won't just suddenly come back and push you outright?" Alissa began to tear up once again, but she did bring up a question I had never thought of before Would the old Rei Lancaster actually come back to claim her body one day? Was that even possible? As far as I knew, the old Rei Lancaster died. But there was no telling if there was ever a possibility of her soul returning to reclaim what was hers. Of course, I would not give up this body without a fight. I mean, I did not want to die. I already experienced that once before.
Without any way to truthfully answer her question, I replied: "To be honest, Alissa, I am not too sure. I would have to ask my system when it returns, but that won't be for a month..."
"Just let me know because I will find a way to bring you back to me if the old Rei Lancaster returns. I will find a body and figure a way to put your soul into it. The Rei Lancaster that I love is you and will only be you." Alissa's words made me tear up. Alissa was such a good person. I could feel her love for me. I gazed into her eyes and slowly leaned in. Our lips touched and then parted, allowing our tongues to invade each other's mouths.
When our lips parted, I smiled brightly at Alissa and said: "Thanks, Alissa! I will send you a team request right away."
"You better!" Both Alissa and my cheeks were bright red. I sent the team request to Alissa, who accepted it, and after which I began explaining the ins and outs of the inventory. The entire time we held hands. Being with Alissa like this wasn't too bad. It seemed my feelings for her have grown quite a bit after our conversation.
