“Lyra. Why do you have Rachel’s soul inside you?”

Right after Makoto disappeared, Yuki asked me.

Her face was serious, but she didn’t seem to be angry.

It seemed as if she only wanted to know the cause of the problem.

“Do you have some sort of a relationship with Rachel?”

“I also don’t know. The next thing I knew, I had Rachel inside me.”

I should have no relationship with Rachel.

The first time I met Rachel in the flesh was the other day when she was sleeping in Yuki’s house.

Why is Rachel inside me? Is this also the work of the goddess or something?

But why me………?

“What kind of life did you have before Rachel’s soul stayed inside you?”

The life before Rachel’s soul stayed inside me. It was………spent as an assassin hiding in the crowds of people in the Kingdom of Yakumo.

There’s no way I would have any connection to Rachel, who is supposed to become the crown princess.

Rachel, who lives in a beautiful world.

Me, who lives by killing people.

Our lives are the exact opposite.

“I lived in the Kingdom of Yakumo. It was a life that had no chance of having any connection with the crown princess, Rachel.”

After telling her that much, is it true? I asked myself.

Did I really have no connection with Rachel?

Come to think of it, when was I asked to assassinate Lord Edward?

That must have been before I met Rachel.

No way, is that our connection?

But there must have been several more people besides me, who was asked to assassinate Lord Edward.

Why me?

Why was it me………?

“I lived in the… underworld of the Kingdom of Yakumo.”

“………Underworld?”

With a twitch, Yuki’s eyebrows rose.

Unable to look at Yuki’s face, I looked away.

Because it’s not a way of life that I’m proud of.

There must have been innocent people among the people that I have assassinated.

The people who I have assassinated, not all of them are bad people.

“………Were you a spy or something like that?”

“……… No……… I grew up as an assassin.”

“………!?”

I don’t want to lie to Yuki.

She is the sister of Makoto, the one who trusted me, and Rachel seemed to trust Yuki as well.

Tears spilled out of my eyes.

Even though I have no right to cry since I’ve assassinated so many people.

I looked down and my body was suddenly wrapped in a warm feeling.

I looked up in surprise and saw Yuki’s face close by.

“You’ve had a hard time too, Lyra. You must have had no other options in order to live. You’re the same as Rachel. I’m sure your heart was screaming.”

Yuki gently hugged me and my tears couldn’t stop flowing.

I didn’t expect that there was someone that would gently and kindly embrace me.

“You can regret it properly, Lyra. From now on, you can just live your life without regrets. Just like Rachel. You can stop running and look straight ahead.”

“Yuki………”

Overcame with emotion, I put my arms around Yuki’s warm body and clung to her.

“What’s going on? What are you doing?”

At that time, I heard a familiar man’s voice.
