I Don’t Want This Bad Ending Chapter 4
Advertisement
This is the time when Evelyn got into an accident...
In the training area...
*shoosh...shoosh...
A boy is standing in the center of the field swinging his wooden sword.
A sweat form on his forehead that can be seen as a result of doing the same routine since an hour ago.
He stops his training when an old man wearing a black tuxedo, white gloves, and glasses are approaching him, it was the head butler of the Emsworth mansion.
"Young Master, I have bad news..." Said the butler with a hurried voice.
"What is it?" Said Allan with a curious look.
"The Young Miss had an accident..."
When Allan heard about the news his eyes that was full of curiosity a moment ago turned into that of indifference as he give the butler a looked of annoyance.
He thought it was some sort of emergency about the dukedom, or that the sword that he have been waiting so long have been made and delivered and not about his sister falling from a tree because of her stupidity.
"And the young miss is suffering from losing her memories..."
Allan's sunset eyes wide open for a short time then turned to normal again like what he heard was not his problem... He's shocked about his sister losing memories for a moment but that's just it.
He thought that it's not his problem to begin with and besides he never really care for what his sister's well being, as long as she was out of sight that was all it matters for Allan.
For him, she's still the stupid sister who caused their mother to die. So, he really doesn't care whatever happens to her.

The head butler was standing at the front door of the office of the head of the family he serves. Jede, the head butler, heaved a deep sigh as he knows that what he was about to report was not something trivial and was about the only mistress of the Emsowrth, one of the Ducal family of the Kingdom.
*knock knock
"It is I, My lord... I have something to report..." the head butler said as he waits for the duke to let him in.
"Come in..."
"Jede... I told you that I'm busy. Make sure that what you're about to report is a much important case than these documents that I have to sign for today." The Duke Emsworth said as he glared at Jede, the head butler with an annoyed look.
The head butler tried not to gulped a lump on his throat as he continue to answer his Master's question.
"My lord... the Young Lady was injured."
The Duke abruptly stops his hand that was holding the quill and looked at the head butler, promptly indicating to continue his report.

"Young Lady Evelyn was playing in the garden and she climbed in a tree when the branch she was sitting on broke... she fell from quite a height and... she hurt her head in the process, we called the doctor but the Young Lady is not awake yet."
The duke was only glaring at the butler, an icy aura was released, the duke was angry for the moment and vanished the second.
"It was my negligence, your Grace. I deserved punishment for what happened to the Young Lady." Jede bowed down into a ninety degrees as he know the consequence of what happened to the Young Lady.
He was prepared to be punished as it was his jurisdiction to oversee the Young Lady's schedule and activities.
Jede was busy preparing some documents that the Duke needed when the Young Lady escaped from her bedroom and into the garden to play.
The Duke's icy cold aura only lasted for a second then the usually stoned face duke can now be seen again.
"Report to me the findings of the doctor..."
The head butler could only glanced at the Duke as he awaits for the punishment that was clearly not going to be given.
"What are you waiting...? Do you have anything to report again?"
Jede can only stare blankly before he bowed again and excuse himself from the office of the Duke.
"Haaaa..."
He let a sighed as he thought about the Young Lady that was calling her father before she lost consciousness.

Back to the present. On a sunny afternoon...
Evelyn shut herself in the library where no one visits and she's been studying ever since the banned for her to go outside her room was lifted, she learned the history of this world and the basics of magic manipulation. She can now do basic spells with her water magic, but her magic capacity is so low that the spell she conjures is but a speck of dust that you can't consider it a spell.
"Sigh... I know the principles of mana manipulation but because I have low stamina, I can't even test it. I should do some exercise..."
"I'll start by running 10 laps at the estate tomorrow morning... I've wasted a month for understanding the magic of this world and its history. I need to do something about my magic, I at least need to learn defensive magic and one attack spell for my safety."
"Sheila..."
The maid Sheila appeared with a smile on her face. "Yes, young miss, do you need anything?"
"I'll be practicing now, so don't let anyone in for a while..."
"Yes, Young Miss, how about snacks before you do your practice?" Said Sheila with her lips still forming an upward arc.

"No but thank you Sheila." As Evelyn said her thanks, Sheila immediately left the room and the young miss is now ready to practice the newfound method that she picked up from the book that was lying in the corner of the library.
"It says here that when gathering mana, you will see different colors where each represents their magic. Red is for fire, white is for light, black is for dark magic, blue is for water, brown is for earth and green is for nature and yellow is for air... I should gather the blue ones."
As Evelyn close her eyes, she instantly went in a state of calmness, after an hour of meditating she started to see the colors of mana.
She tried to gather the blue color representing her water magic but...
"Hmm? The colors are so wonderful, it feels like they're singing, I should gather the mana for my magic... hmmm? Wait, why is that every color is entering my body? Weird... is that how it's supposed to be?"
As Evelyn gathers the mana that surrounds her, different kinds of color entered her body and she feel the energy surging through her entire soul. It feels weird but at the same time, it's not. She felt her magic arise, but she doesn't know how to confirm it.
As Evelyn was thinking, she remembers that there was a book where it explains the colors of the mana.
"Let's see... If I'm not mistaken I saw it... Ahh!"
Evelyn found the book called "The Purities of Mana and it's colors". It discussed about how the mana have a designated colors and that was how the old people determined the young one's affinities.
"It says here that when Mana gathers the color of the mana that entered your body is what suited the constitution of oneself that was why it will immediately attract the mana in the surrounding area if that is the best mana for the soul. The brighter the color of the mana is, the bigger the mana cap can handle."
Evelyn tried hard to understand what it means. Though she have the understanding about the theories of the mana, as a soul that comes from a modern world where magic is just some fantasy and myths, it was hard for her to grasped how she can manifest it.
"Haha... Now, I know that I have the affinities to all the elements except for the dark magic, is this some reincarnator advantage? Though, why the color of my mana so dim? Does this mean that I have a low mana cap? Does this mean that my powers are trash?"
Evelyn became stressed as she found out the reason why she can't manifest her magic before.
"I need to level up my mana cap... I just can't be the disgrace of this family... No! I'll change because that's what I need to survive in this hell!"
A glint of determination can be seen in Evelyn's eyes as she begin to plan to strengthen herself for the predicament that will befall to her as the story will begin a year from now.

In the meantime...
Sheila, the personal maid of the Young Miss of the Emsworth household was writing in her diary.
Calendar 18 of month Y, year 228c
I've known the Young Miss since she's a child. Miss Evelyn is a kind child, when her mother, Duchess Monica died that's when everything changed, the kind family becomes cold to one another.
The Young Miss become a spoiled brat, she forgot what happened when the duchess died, she always throws tantrums when things didn't go her way. She also became a child who craves for love of the family, I was so heartbroken to see a cheerful child slowly become someone else.
And then, one afternoon the miss was playing in the garden when the tree branch broke, and she fell. The maids were in panic but not the young miss's family, they didn't even bother to went and visit her room to check up on her.
This household really changes.
It's quite disheartening to see.
After the young miss woke up, she lost her memories again. I don't know if I should be glad or be sad about it. Glad because we can show her love and she can grow up to be a lovely lady and bring her to the right path or be sad because she forgot again her memories but again, her memories are just being ignored by her father and his brother.
Nowadays the young miss is always in the library, she said that because she lost her memories, she needs to study the basics again so that she won't disgrace the Duke's household.
The Young miss become a responsible child after the accident, she also smiles a lot nowadays but when it comes to her family she always said that she wouldn't pay attention to them if they don't want her, but for me, that's just sad — it's like she's given up to feel the warmth of her family. But don't worry young miss, I'll shower you with my love so that you can smile genuinely and always be a bright child who knows responsibilities.
I'll gladly teach you the right path.

Binary Soul
So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.
