I Was Reincarnated But I Don't Know Why Chapter 4

TL: Yuki

________________________________________________

After that event, I went straight back home still covered in blood and could only apologize because of it. And another reason for the apology was that I don't know what words to use to explain what happened. All I can say is War Wolf.

My father Enbray-san went out to the village to ask if they could give supplementary explanation to what I did, but he returned clutching his head without anything to add to the information.

Even after all that, he didn't find any information so he was certain that he won't be getting any information regarding that and gave up. Well I also didn't say anything after all. Even if they asked me I won't go upfront and say that 『I want to go out and fight monsters』 to them after all, they will definitely get angry.

Then on a warm afternoon where I was flopped down on a desk looking at the nothingness, I saw a black haired girl standing beside the door.

「Who?」

I have never seen any black haired girl around here, so I was surprised to get up and suddenly see a black haired girl. Her age is around 10 years old. she was quite small and cute. She's wearing a black long dress that was open on her back, and she has golden eyes and a cute yet mysterious face. The black one piece was doesn't seem to be a very good match to such a cute little girl. It somehow resembles someone or more like it gives me a feeling that I've seen her somewhere.

When the girl closed in to me and touched my cheeks, she lifted the edge of her mouth then disappeared.

「……Could it be, a ghost」

I got up from my desk and escaped the living room while paying attention to the room.

But then I noticed that my throat was quite dry.

「Was that just a hallucination?」

I wonder if that little girl was just a hallucination of mine.

In any case, I went straight to the kitchen to moisten my thirst.

I took a ladle and inside the water jar, there I saw the image of the little girl in the pool of water.

「Uwaah!?」

I was too shocked that I accidentally dropped the ladle inside the jar when I saw the reflection on the water.

With a white ribbon and hair tied in a ponytail along with long black hair that goes all the way to the back, then red eyes and pretty cute face.

I was quite surprised, then I remember the face of that person.

「That person a little while ago…」

I was wondering if that was what they would call a doppelganger.

Well, since this is a fantasy world then there might be ghost type monsters that are like that, well in my previous life it be a sign of disaster if you meet someone who looks exactly the same as you, but I wonder what it's like in this world.

「I should probably be more careful」

I wonder if the trigger was me defeating all those warwolves.

If it suddenly attacks, it would be a very incompatible monster against me because it can easily disappear.

And not mention, I am really scared of ghosts.

I focused for a while to pick up any strange noises in the surrounding, but I didn't find anything that sounds suspicious.

I wonder if that was really just a hallucination.

I sneaked into the living room once more and check the room and the door.

And as expected, there wasn't anything there only an only an open door was there.

I breathed out a sigh of relief then returned back into the living room.

But then again, that doppelganger showed itself once more seven days after that.

「Wah」

「What's wrong Toto?」

「Mom, you didn't see that?」

「…what, is there something wrong with the insects?」

「No, it's nothing」

At first I would always be in a battle stance, but after a few times of appearing and disappearing I couldn't feel any hostility from it, well it was also not visible to anyone other than me, and it didn't really bother me that much.

I wonder if it was trying to talk to me, I noticed her mouth moving every time I see her.

There are times when my vision doesn't agree with others, and for it was such a mysterious feeling.

Well, the story goes back a bit. When I was around seven years old, Rikkchan's condition was turning for the worst.

In the past I used to play with her for 2 out of 3 days, then it turned in only a full day in five days.

Then, it went from playing to just being together with her.

「Is there no healing magic?」

Even if I couldn't really accept that Rikkchan's condition gets worst day by day, I still continued on visiting her.

「The doctor said that it was a disease that was inborn so no recovery magic would affect such disease which was acquired from birth」

「It's something like that huh…」

No, that's not what I really wanted to say to Rikkchan. I am sorry because I can't really say anything so I just stayed silent.

But Rikkchan didn't mind it and only showed me a smile.

She knew how I was so frustrated that I couldn't do anything regarding this, what a strong will for a child.

The story returns to the present. Rikkchan is now at a state where she can't even get out of her bed. I want to see her but I just don't know what I would talk to her, I also haven't visited her for quite some time now.

「…What should I do…」

Only feelings of frustration where spinning inside me. Even if time goes on, the chances of her being cured still remained zero. It would even be doubtful if she could last a year in this condition.

「Something, is there something」

Yes, I need to do something, one that may change this.

But since I know nothing about medicine, I don't have any way to identify her illness and even if I did I don't even know how to use recovery magic or let alone any other spells that would be able to help her.

Well not being to even able read characters, magic would be almost be impossible to use.

It took too long for even a skilled doctor to find ways to cure her. She has been like that for the past year now.

「You don't want to lose her?」

「Eh?」

「If so, then give her a kiss」

Suddenly hearing a voce whispering in my ears, I noticed that the doppelganger was standing beside me.

I wonder if that voice I heard was from her because since before, I could only see her mumbling yet her voice couldn't reach me.

「Wait, what are y—」

When I was about to reply to her, the doppelganger wasn't there anymore.

Kiss? You mean that Kiss? Is that what you are saying that I should do?

『If you don't really want to lose her? Give her a Kiss 』

The doppelganger's voice echoed back in my head.

Don't lose her when a kiss is give = Curing Rikkchan's disease? Where?

No way, I don't really get it at all.

But I certainly heard that voice. That Doppelganger was also present so it wasn't just an auditory hallucination.

「Kiss………」

I wanted to ask why, but that doppelganger might not appear anymore which usually appears every seven days, and even if she did it might be impossible trying to talk to her.

More like even if she opened her mouth, her voice doesn't come out. It was a mystery as to how I was able to hear her voice at that time.

「Still, I'm thinking if that was true?」

I'm also somehow thinking that this might be some kind of trap.

The timing was just quite too convenient.

However, if Rikkchan's disease is infectious, it's not like it would become really efficient.

From the rate of progress of Rikkchan's disease, it would take me a long time for that to propagate even if I did get infected.

「Might be a prank」

I think that the possibility is quite high, thinking about that Doppelganger she definitely looks like a mischievous person. I have seen her for quite some time now, probably around 16 times that she has appeared and it was around four months now.

「I wonder if it's really true though?」

Thinking about it again, it's kind of fishy.

You know it's that after all, a kiss to heal an incurable disease, wouldn't that become a plot for a prince of some fantasy story…?

「Eh, Seriously?」

I'm scared that considering this world to that of a fantasy types the possibility is there right?

Is what I would like to say.

「Am I, a prince like that supposed to be?」

Well, thinking about Rikkchan as a princess, she is cute, clever and has a strong will.

On the other hand, the image of a prince would be a gallant warrior capable of defeating dragons which is so cheat like.

But were only female friends… I am certain that there were 《Such works》 like that can be found in my previous life.

However, there's no other way for me to help Rikkchan other than this, but I could also feel like I'm barely trudging the edge of my sanity.

「Let's just do this!!」 I made a fist pump to get myself fired and decided to do it
