He wiggled his eyebrows in displeasure, but nodded his head obediently. He asked as soon as Yurina removed her hands.

“So? If that man is the Crown Prince, who is that woman?”

“Lydia De Fron.”

“I think I saw her before, that…?”

“That’s right. A young lady with blonde hair and green eyes.”

“But she treaed you that well?”

“I don’t know why either.”

Yurina thought of Lydia’s bright face and shook her head to shake off the image. As if Reynard was consoling her, he kissed her on the corner of the eye.

“So the person who killed you is Marquis De Flon, whom you saw?”

Yurina again shook her head lightly.

“No. It’s not exactly Marquis De Flon.”

“Then who?”

‘Can I say this name?’

When Yurina heard Karion’s name, she hesitated for a moment because she couldn’t imagine Reynard’s reaction. However, she had no choice but to open her mouth to his actions as he stroked her hair as if to urge her.

“…It was Karion.”

His hand, which was twirling Yurina’s hair in his fingers, stopped. She heard the sound of Reynard taking a deep breath. He didn’t respond right away, only blinking his eyes and studied Yurina’s expression.

Yurina cautiously added her words.

“He must have thought that I would get in Lydia’s way. So Marquis De Flon ordered Karion to kill me.”

“Then…”

His voice cracked =. Reynard cleared his throat few times before asking again.

“Then why did you think of me as Karion, that bastard, and find me…”

“I didn’t want to lose Karion to Marquis De Flon. If Marquis De Flon takes Karion, I might die again.”

Reynard’s eyes trembled because of emotions. Yurina covered her eyes with the backs of her hands to avoid his gaze. Reynard gently removed Yurina’s hand, intertwined his fingers with hers, and pressed her hand to the top of her bed.

“So, you sponsored me because you were afraid that I would kill you?”

Yurina closed her eyes and nodded slowly.

“The only clue I knew about Karion was that he had light blonde hair and red eyes and that he was away from home and living in an orphanage. So I went looking for an orphanage. Red eyes are rare, so of course I thought you were Karion.”

“Then you were afraid that I would kill you every time you saw me?”

This time she shook her head quickly.

“I’ve never had any thoughts like that. I was scared when I met Marquis De Flon, but I never thought that you would harm me. Really.”

Reynard, who had a nervous face, let out a sigh of relief over Yurina’s closed eyes.

“That’s it.”

Yurina narrowed her eyes and examined his expression. Unlike when she found out that the person Yurina was looking for was actually Karion, not herself, he didn’t show a strong reaction.

“But how do you know the future? Did you dream, no, just because you had a dream… How did you know that it was really the future? Even if the face of the Marquis De Flon or the Crown Prince you saw in your dream was the same, it would be a bit strange. You found me before then.”

This is where the real story begins. Yurina gripped her heart tightly with his fingers pressed against hers.

“Don’t be surprised no matter what you hear.”

“I won’t.”

Yurina swallowed, feeling her mouth dry up.

The story she wanted to tell from now on was a story on a different level from the story of simply seeing the future. Even Reynard, who believed her story of seeing her future, would have a hard time accepting the fact that she came from another word and that this is actually the world of the book she read.

As Yurina continued to hesitate, Reynard smiled as if to reassure her.

“Really. I won’t be surprised.”

However, after that, Yurina looked at his expression and kept quiet. Perhaps he realized her seriousness, Reynard also silently waited for her words instead of urging her.

After a long thought, Yurina opened her mouth with difficulty.

“I’m… I’m not from this world.”

Reynard’s eyes widened in surprise. He didn’t say anything, but for some reason, Yurina felt as if he was asking what she was talking about, so she grabbed his hand, which was holding her own, without realizing it.

“The place where I lived was completely different from here. There is no king, no nobility, no magic.”

Fortunately, Reynard didn’t make a face like he was looking at a crazy person, even if he looked surprised. That alone made her feel relieved, and Yurina continued her story calmly.

“Instead of magic, technolody developed, so there was a means of transportation that was faster than a carriage, and there was no movement magic, but it was possible to move across the continent in half a day. From here to the capital of the Crohn Kingdom, it will take a few hours. No matter how far away you are, I could hear your voice, whenever you were at the academy, and furthermore, I could see your face.”

There was still no answer from Reynard, but Yurina continued talking in silence.

At first, she intended to tell a brief story. However, when she tried to tell him that she had died in an accident, negative emotions soared and choked her. Watching her catch her breath, unable to speak, trying to control her emotions, Reynard picked her up, seated her, and carefully fed her with water.

Yurina spoke calmly again after emptying the glass of cool water.

“There I got into an accident and died.”

“An accident?”

“Yes. In terms of this woeld, I was hit by a carriage and died. It was a snowy winter night, and the person who caused the accident left me on the road and ran away. It was a deserted place, so by the time someone else found me, it was already too late…”

“Stop, you can stop.”

Reynard hugged Yurina’s body. The nape of her neck, where his face touched, quickly became wet.
