Several days have passed since Lady Sara Salah awoke.
“Water bullets appear and pierce through the enemy! [Water Bullet]!”
Lady Sara Salah chanted the incantation of a spell.
Upon doing so, small water spheres formed at her fingertips. And unlike before… these spheres didn’t fall to the ground but shot straight towards the target with an incredible speed.
However, the momentum was extraordinary.
Making an unheard sound like “Fyuun!” the [Water Bullets] reached the target with overwhelming speed. And the target shattered into pieces.
The force of impact didn’t make the [Water Bullets] fall. Instead, they continued onward, toppling dozens of trees in the forest behind the mansion.
Stunning.
Just that one word.
In a simple manner, the power of my [Stone Throwing] had been surpassed.
“S… Sara… Sara, who was so bad at magic, could… cast magic of such high power…”
The lady of the house was so surprised that she almost collapsed.
I supported her to prevent her from falling and dirtying her attire.
I… Both I and Omake-sama had predicted that this would happen, so my surprise was limited…. However, my feelings were quite complex.
To be honest, it’s quite frustrating to be surpassed in combat ability by someone who hadn’t done any training.
«Don’t get envious, Emmy. She has been blessed by a god. In fact, it’s even more impressive that you can do things similar to her without any divine blessing.»
Divine blessings…. It’s a gift given to those favored by the gods.
According to Omake-sama, they usually receive special abilities or a large amount of magical power.
In other words, the magic Lady Sara Salah just used was not her own magical power, but the power of the gods.
Of course, she can unleash such powerful magic.
Afterward, she continued to cast not only water but also wind, earth, fire, and even thunder magic that the baroness hadn’t taught. Making the baroness flabbergasted.
Why did she experience such rapid growth?
The lady of the house couldn’t help but ask.
“Um, Ima-sa… Mom’s way of teaching was just good, that’s why!”
She gave a flippant response.
If that was the case, you should have been able to use magic much, much earlier!
Her thoughtless, on-the-spot lies were irritating.
There were parts of her behavior, mannerisms, and way of speaking that were somewhat similar to the old Sara-chan, but also different. And those really rub me the wrong way.
Making me want to kill her…
«Please restrain yourself, Emmy. The chances of you winning a fight against a reincarnated person with divine blessing are very slim. Even if you were to corner them, they might be granted new power by the gods and awaken, instantly reversing the situation.»
… Joke, it was just a joke. Omake-sama.
I wouldn’t hurt that girl, of course.
Even if her soul had been replaced or whatever the case might be.
She was once my friend, the Baron Daughter, Lady Sara Salah.
◇ ◇ ◇
Sara-chan that from any angle, was seen as dead, because of the sudden appearance of a light sphere that entered her body, she come back to life.
At that moment,
No one in the mansion, Baron-sama and the others, understood what had happened.
Consequently, they concluded that it was a miracle from the gods.
Lady Sara Salah’s personality and speech had changed slightly compared to before.
She had forgotten about me completely.
Occasionally, she would say odd things, leading them to conclude that it was a result of residual damage from the poison.
However, I had someone quite knowledgeable about this kind of event – Omake-sama.
What had truly happened to Lady Sara Salah at that moment?
Omake-sama explained it in detail to me.
«What happened at that time, was a miracle from the god.»
Hey, wait a minute!
That’s exactly the same conclusion as everyone else’s!
«I’ll explain in more detail. First, the entity that appeared as a sphere of light, that was a soul.»
Soul!?
Eh, but, I observed the souls of my classmates who were put up for auction. And no one was shining like that?
«It was shining because it was infused with a vast amount of divine mana. In other words, that soul has been given divine blessing.»
… Wait, Omake-sama, are you saying that the soul of the person with divine blessing might be…
«Most likely, it’s the soul of one of your classmates.… I don’t know which deity is involved, but since obtaining the soul until now, she must have constantly adjusting the balance of the divine blessing. In terms of abilities, that soul has quite a high specification result.»
So, the current body of Lady Sara Salah is… actually taken over by the soul of the reincarnated person, right?
Sara-chan…. How about the soul of the original Sara-chan…?
«Currently, the physical body of Lady Sara Salah is indeed being controlled by the reincarnated soul. However, the original soul hasn’t disappeared. It has weakened due to physical damage like the poison, and is now in a dormant state. Regarding whether that soul will awaken in the future, no one knows.»
N-No way!
Hey, Omake-sama!
Is there no way to expel the reincarnated person’s soul from Sara-chan’s body?
That body belongs to the original soul of Sara-chan, right!?
«For starters, it’s impossible for you right now, Emmy. Moreover, since the original soul is in a dormant state and inactive, if you were to do that, the physical body of Lady Sara Salah would die.»
…………
I felt dizzy.
Right now, in front of me, Lady Sara Salah was receiving a lecture on the history of the Kingdom of Tenedis from the baroness.
She was full of energy, as if she hadn’t nearly died from poison a few days ago.
But the person inside wasn’t the Sara-chan I knew.
This was a reincarnated individual pretending to be Sara-chan.
She wasn’t the stupid, noisy, energetic, bright, and the kind friend of mine, Sara-chan.
.…………
…… Is this reincarnation, happened also for the sake of filming for the Isekai Reincarnation Broadcasting?
«Probably. Looking back, all the crises that Lady Sara Salah faced might have been the workings of the gods. To insert a new soul into her body, it was necessary to put her body in a state of temporary death and her soul into a state of dormancy.»
… Just as expected from a god. Quite a comfortable position, isn’t it? Toying with Sara-chan for the sake of an entertainment. Who does she think she is… Well, she is a god, huh…
… And that was the story.
About how I lost my first friend.
The dream-like days of enjoying time with a friend have disappeared.
As if it were a phantom, as if it had never existed from the beginning.
Because I, was weak.
Because I couldn’t completely, protect Sara-chan.
