- Let me see if I understand, are you saying you came from another world? -The girl in front of me asked sitting on a sofa while she tasted her chocolate milk and looked at me with an expression of disbelief. This was my younger sister only in name Hikari, she was my twin, but as I was born a few seconds before her I gained the title of older brother. She and I are totally different in both appearance and personality, even though people say we look similar. She has short pink hair with two distinct locks that go down to her chest, her hair is also tied in two bows, one on each side, it can be said that this is her trademark as she only leaves them loose for sleep and bathe.

- Yes, that's exactly what I said. - I say as I look away and drink some of the chocolate milk, normally nobles would be drinking tea or coffee, but since Hikari fell in love with chocolate milk, the servants started making it for her in moments of leisure, I confess that it's not entirely The bad thing is, you could say she's obsessed with this thing on a weird level, but to do what, now I'm more worried about the situation I'm in right now. I decided to finally tell her that I came from another world, but I can see that this is going to be that kind of long conversation.
I think it would be better to explain this whole situation better, my name is Hinoru and I'm currently sixteen years old, three years ago I discovered that this is my second life, before I lived as a designer and scriptwriter on a game I was working on, but unfortunately I died in some way that I don't remember. When I recovered my memory, I ended up noticing that this world I was born in was similar to the world of the game I was working on before I died, the game was a visual novel that took place in a fantasy setting and dressed up like an ordinary visual novel only to later turn out to be a game with a horror story
- Hm... - She ponders and places the mug on the coffee table that was between the sofa I was on and hers. She gets up and comes to me, placing her palm on my forehead while looking at me with a worried face. - It doesn't seem like a fever, could it be that you've become stupid?
- Could you try to worry about me without offending me? - I ask with a neutral face, seeing her start to laugh lightly and sit down next to me. But then she recovers herself and makes a more serious expression, her gaze analyzes me trying to notice any semblance of a joke, but soon noticing that I wasn't expressing anything she was looking for, she lets out a sigh and crosses her arms.
- Do you really expect me to believe that? - She asks with both eyes closed, her serious face turns serene as she delves into self-reflection, but after a few seconds I can see her pink irises look at me again. - Look brother, I want to believe what you say to me, but you have to take my side into account, what you tell me is practically absurd.
I adjust myself on the soft sofa we were sitting on in a way where I could look at her more closely, our eyes stared at each other intensely, I was trying to convey all my honesty and determination to her through this action and I could see She received these feelings, we stayed like that for a few minutes, maybe one... I didn't notice the passage of time, I just knew when she was going to say something we heard a knock on the door, taking us both out of our mental conversation.
- You may come in. - Hikari says, turning to the table and picking up her cup of chocolate milk and starting to take small sips. I settled down on the sofa and moved a little away from her, also taking my cup that was on the coffee table, trying to taste the chocolate milk while hoping that Hikari would at least think about what I said and not categorize me as crazy.
The door slowly opened and a maid respectfully entered the room, alone and carrying nothing in her hands but her respectable countenance to us. She carefully walked to the coffee table and bowed before starting to speak, well, if she spoke before she would have had the chance of her tongue being cut out, the nobility can be quite strict if I may say so.
- Hinoru-sama, Hikari-sama, your carriages are ready to leave and your belongings have already been sent in advance to the Van De Zon royal academy. -She says stoically, trying to be as formal as possible.
- Thank you Jeanna, I appreciate the warning, you are excused for now, let the carriage know that we will be there in twenty minutes. - Hikari says in an elegant way, even though when she was alone with me, she was in the most relaxed way, but when she was in public, she demonstrated herself to be a lady of unparalleled elegance and education, but when furious, she showed her face of a more stoic and fervent noblewoman.
- Yes, Hikari-sama, excuse me. -The maid also says it in a carefully formal way, as every word out of her mouth was trained more than a thousand times and perhaps it really is, taking into account the type of work she did. She left the room carefully so as not to make any unpleasant sounds to incite me and Hikari's discomfort, even though I'm not in favor of this type of work or treatment, but I understand how the hierarchy of this world works and I have to follow it. it so as not to cause a diplomatic disaster, taking into account my position as my family's heir.
- So... Von De Zon? I never imagined that we would be able to join the Imperial academy. - I comment unpretentiously, turning my gaze to the window, where I saw the employees arranging the last preparations for the carriage, then I feel a hand on my shoulder, turning around I see Hikari looking at me with a look of comfort, even without saying anything, I know what she feels and she knows what I feel, in the end we really are twins, even though this isn't my first life, I put my hand on top of hers and squeeze, trying to convey trust.
- Brother, I don't know if what you said is true or not, and I can't decide yet. But I know you have a purpose at the gym and as your sister, know that I will support you and be there to help you no matter what. - She says in a serene voice as we observe the view of our manor, instinctively letting out a small laugh. - What it was? Did I say something funny? -She asks with a sullen expression, not resisting I place one of my hands on one of her strands, which doesn't bother her and I start playing with them, I've always done this since I was a child and it became a habit.
- I just thought it was cute the way you put your trust in me. - I say looking directly into her irises with affection and she reciprocates, letting me continue my game, we spent a few minutes drowning in affection for each other, sometimes I believe that Hikari is my only emotional anchor in this place and something inside Me says it's the same for her.
- Brother... Are you ready to say goodbye to our home? - Hikari asks reflexively as she turns her gaze to the window again, I've never been home certainly, but her company made this place feel like something I could have called home at some point, so without thinking too much I just get up, with my my plans prepared for the gym ready in my mind, I don't know how it will be from now on, but now the sick game begins and my plan to fix everything, not only on my own responsibility... But to protect the people I care about. I care, being the only one currently you, sister.
- Yes... I'm ready, sister.
