Chapter 9.5 ~ Yoshino Masumi

In my past life, I love playing with someone the most. His smile makes me happy for some reason. Yuki is my life, he's the reason why I feel this happiness.

We've met on my 5th BirthDay. His looks, the way he talks, and my feeling towards him are different.

It's Yuki, My best friend. Our family is friends, and that's the reason we've met. He's cheerful, he is so caring to me, even I'm a tsundere type of girl. I always hit him when I'm embarrassed, but he just always laugh.

Since his mother died. On the day of his BirthDay. The smile that I always wanted to see is now........gone.

The feeling of my heart getting pierced, every time I saw him cry.

He changes, He is not the Yuki I know.

But I didn't give up!. I make sure to take care of him. Since he has no more relatives, I became her big sister, that always protects him.

It's kinda odd that he always protected me in the dark, hiding from the spotlight. Of course, I able to see how he take care of me. But why did he need to always hide it?

Well, it doesn't matter. I protect him, and he protected me. That already makes me happy than others.

But. When I find happiness of mine, we've been enter into a tragedy. A terrorist attack us, losing many lives of my classmates, and the most important part of my story. I lost it........ I lost an important piece of the puzzle.

He chooses my happiness than his life. He fights for me. But in the end, I thought that I will be able to protect him, he has already given up.

I held his head while crying. Muttering about the words: "Don't die on me!", "Don't leave me!". But this didn't change the outcome.

I saw the bright smile that I thought that already gone a long time ago. The smile of satisfaction from saving me.

He loves me, and I love him. That's the last conclusion of our conversation.

I blame myself. If I just become stronger, maybe he didn't need to die for me.

An Explosion that eats everything ends my life. I was reborn in this new world. At first, I can't believe that I will live again. And it gives me hope, that there's a chance for him to be here too.

I train by any means necessary in this world. Master the magic of the CRYO element. While trying to find a lead. I didn't change my name, so if someone hears it, they will be able to find me. Only the color of my hair change; from black to silver.

It's not become easy to live here. Even I'm from a respectable family, there's a lot of shady groups that try to kill me. Cryo is a powerful element indeed. I almost died many times. And I always ready to die anytime.

My happiness is only Yuki. Without him, I'm only a body that moves, Without emotions.

Until on that day. On the day of the tournament. I fought a kid of the same age as mine. He's good at the battle and extraordinary.

He called my name, and it feels nostalgic for some reason. The regret that dwelling inside my heart has been lifted.

"Who are you?"

The beat of my heart is really unexpected. I never talk to anyone so casually before.

"We know each other from the past life, I'm-"
