“…Uh… hic.”

Despite the bright sunlight and refreshing breeze rustling the curtains, I slipped into the smooth sheets. A luxurious chandelier hung from the ceiling, sparkling in the sunlight. Its shimmering light reflected off the pink wallpaper, creating a beautiful ambiance.

The physicians of this other world were remarkably competent. They didn’t need a stethoscope, thermometer, blood pressure monitor, or X-ray machine. After the morning check-up, with a quick look and narrowed eyes, they knew I hadn’t slept well last night. They prescribed a relaxing medicinal bath and told me to rest for the day.

Without hesitation, I cried my heart out on Richeli’s bed. I didn’t feel like facing Julian, Abby, or Zinon with a smile today. I drank it while blowing on the slightly sweet medicinal bath with orange peel that emitted a warm steam.

After waking up in this other world, I was amused by various new things and excited by this magical world. But after yesterday’s piano incident, my realistic perspective returned abruptly. Before I knew it, I was fully immersed in homesickness. Tears naturally trickled down my cheeks. The bunny next to me licked them away.

The only one I could confide in was the bunny.

“Why did I reincarnate into Richeli? To break off the engagement on her behalf and go to the convent?”

“Pyu? …Pyu.”

“I can’t play the part of a villainous lady. I have no experience in love.”

“Pyu… Pyu.”

When I let out all my feelings, tears flowed one after another.

“Do I have to live here for the rest of my life?”

Its big ears fluttered when I stroked the bunny’s fluffy pink fur.

“In a world without Kokoro, Yuki, Yuu, my dad, and mom? That’s too lonely… I want to go back to my original world… Uh, I want to go back to being Rin.”

I put the teacup on the side table. The effects of the medicinal bath had somehow finished, and the cup was empty. My body was warm with sleepiness, and my emotions were loosening and overflowing. It was as if the water of a river that had been blocked until now was released and began to flow at once.

I peered into the bunny’s cute pink eyes.

“It’s the day after tomorrow. I’ll meet God and Richeli above the clouds again. Richeli said she couldn’t go back, but is that true?”

“Pyu…”

“I’ll ask. I wonder if I could somehow return to the original Rin…”

“Pyu Pyu.”

My eyelids gradually became heavy.

I sank into the fluffy pillow and dozed off.

When I turn eighteen, the heroine of Magic Eyes will appear. I wonder who she will choose. If it’s Zinon, will that heroine become the queen? Zinon’s transparent, beautiful blue eyes appeared behind my eyelids. Those deep blue eyes reflect the one they love. That slightly husky low voice whispering love. Whom will that supple body embrace? My chest hurt a little. Why? Before I thought about the answer, I fell into a deep sleep.
