Chapter 6: You’re here too?!

Looking as though he had forgotten that he was standing before Alex, the man stared at Yulie as though he couldn’t believe his eyes.

Yulie was just as surprised. She never thought she’d hear that name in this world.

“Aika is my little sister, but… who are you…?”

An impressive young man with short bright red hair like fire, sun-kissed wheat-gold skin, and the eyebrows of a strong-willed individual. He looked about the same age as Yulie. From his imposing height and well-toned physique, which were no less impressive than Alex’s, one could infer without a doubt that he was an outstanding knight.

Was there a character like this?

If he were an important character in the story, I’m sure I’d remember him, but I don’t remember any red-haired young men. Before that, how does this guy know about Aika?

His surprise seem to have deepened at Yulie’s words.

“Little sister? …No way, Yuri, is that you?!”

“That’s… correct.”

“Get out! It’s me! Riku!”

“………..huh?”

Yulie stared dumbfoundedly, mouth agape, at the unbelievable reunion with her old friend.

“Why… that’s, you’re so diff…erent….”

Unlike Yulie, who’d only had her gender changed and while her looks remained the same, her friend looked completely different. The Riku from their reality was lanky, scrawny, and looked like the average modern university student. What the hell did he do to deserve turning into a virile knight like this?

W-what’s with this discrepancy….?!

To be honest, she was jealous. She would’ve liked to become a tall and brawny knight like this too, if she could. What the hell is this discrimination? “Do you know this girl?”

Alex exclaimed, looking at Riku in astonishment. At that moment, Riku appeared to have finally realized he was standing in front of the main character. He quickly bowed.

“Ack, please forgive my rudeness.”

“It’s fine. It seems this girl has no recollection of how she came here. Do you know anything, Glen?”

It seems like Riku was called ‘Glen’ in this world for some reason.

Alex inquired with a slightly stiffer tone than what he used when he spoke to Yulie. The difference in addressing a guest versus a servant, perhaps? Glen too, compared to when he was speaking to Yulie, had a clear look of tension on his face.

“Yulie and I are from the same village. But, as for how she got here…”

Puzzled, Glen alternated his gaze between Yulie and Alex. Yulie was also curious about how he got here, but she hesitated to talk about what had happened up until now with Glen in front of Alex, a character from the book.

“Um, is it okay if I talk alone with Riku… Glen, for a moment?”

“I don’t mind.”

With Alex’s permission, Yulie and Glen moved to spot just a little ways away from the stable.

After confirming there was nobody around, Yulie finally let out a massive sigh.

“Haaaaa… the hell, man. You’re here too?”

“I’m just as surprised, bro. But Yuri, why on earth did you end up with that cute appearance?”

“Shut it. That’s what I want to ask, dude. You look like you’ve been pretty comfortable over here, haven’t you?”

It was a truly unanticipated turn of events, but it was a pleasant surprise at any rate. It was reassuring and a relief that there was someone other than herself who knew about her own world.

“Ah… Well, I’m used to it, bro. I only remembered the moment I saw your face, man.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

According to Glen, he’d been living in this world until now without the slightest notion that something was off. It seemed that the memories of his past life, so to say, as Riku Tabata, returned only when he saw Yulie’s face a moment ago.

“Therefore, I don’t really know how we got here or how to get back. I only just remembered everything a second ago, after all. Moreover, it’s just a memory, so it’s like a dream to me. It doesn’t really feel real.”

When Yulie arrived here, she had absolutely no memory from living in this world. Her and Glen’s situations were quite different.

Why?

In the end, their conversation only raised more questions.

Glen, saying that he would likely remember more in due time, promised to meet up with Yulie again. Yulie and Alex then left the stables.

“Based on your expression, it looks you weren’t able to find any clues.”

“Yeah. But I’m just happy to have met someone I know, so it’s okay. Thanks for taking me along.”

Alex gave a broad smile at Yulie’s remark.

“What a coincidence, eh?1 That reminds me, shall we try going to the hill we first met tomorrow? We might find something.”

“Nice. But, is it alright for you to be spending all this time on me, man? By any chance, do princes have a lot of free time?”

“Haha. It’s not exactly free time. Isn’t attending to guests only natural? Especially cute young damsels in distress who’ve lost their memories.”

To say something like that outright, he’s definitely a prince isn’t he.

Faced with a sweet smile that could bewitch any woman, Yulie found herself at a loss for words, and could only respond with a dumb sounding “ooooh…”

Translator’s Notes:

I’ve decided the prince is Canadian now.
