Alternate Reincarnation

Her Name Is Rio

I'm back! Now with Chapter 7, "Her Name Is Rio".

I don't think I will ever say much in A/N except if I had an announcement...

"Papa?"

As the little girl in front of him asked, she leaned her petite body closer to Shido.

"Are you okay?"

Hearing the question, Shido snapped back to reality.

"Uh, um... yeah, I think I'm okay.

"Wait, no!"

He immediately recalled what was happening in front of his eyes.

"Wait, wait, wait..."

Shido closed his eyes as he frantically moved his hands in front of him as to tell the girl not to get closer.

"Papa...?"

As the girl spoke again, more concerned this time, Shido opened his eyes slightly, taking a peek at the little girl.

"She really does look like her... Sonogami Rinne..."

Shido could tell his brain was overloading again. He was already confused with the events of this evening, then losing consciousness tonight. And it was topped of by this.

But since he didn't pass out again, he supposed he could at least talk with the girl.

"Okay... first of all, who are you?"

The girl titled her head to her side, as if confused.

"Um... Papa's daughter?"

Shido blushed a little. He was embarrassed of being referred to as Papa, but it confused him just as much.

"And... why do you call me 'Papa'?"

"Because I was born from Papa."

"Eh?"

Shido raised his brow at that statement. His attention was fully on her now.

"Born from me? What is she talking about?"

"Okay, can you explain about that? What did I do to give birth to you?"

The girl seemed to be slightly upset from Shido's words.

"Papa, you didn't create me alone. There's Mama, too!"

"Ma, Mama? Who?"

Although asking, somewhere in his mind Shido already had a vague idea of the mother of this girl.

"Don't tell me...it's Rinne?"

"Yeah! Papa shouldn't forget about Mama!"

Shido put a palm on his face. He was processing the situation.

"Okay. What kind of situation I'm trapped in, now?"

After a moment, Shido tossed his blanket aside and stood up from the bed.

"Papa? Where are you going?"

"Kotori and Reine-san. I'm sure they can explain about you."
