Chapter 457: I’m Willing to Wait
When Adele’s words fell, Sharon’s first reaction was to freeze, and then she recalled the past. If it was about “the past Adele,” did this “past” refer to a while ago, or the very beginning?
Sharon’s personality was the type to be cautious about everything, to ask others when encountering problems, and to make sure she wouldn’t make mistakes before acting. But this time, she intuitively realized that what Adele was asking about might be… the “her” at the very beginning.
The “Adele” who, to Sharon at that time, actually had a sense of distance and fantasy. The reason she said this was because Sharon was still Dorothy’s little follower at that time.
She had low self-esteem, so she appeared very weak. She was originally a very powerful Sequence One ability user vampire, but her status in reality might not even be as good as Sequence Two, let alone the other Sequence Ones.
In that situation, she met “Adele” for the first time through Dorothy and developed her first longing in life for her. But due to her own timidity, Sharon actually didn’t have any deeper contact with Adele. She just watched her from afar, and then silently fantasized about a perfect image of Adele.
Then, she put this image into her dreams, and it became the perfect girlfriend that Sharon created to escape reality. Sharon, who didn’t dare to express her feelings, even despicably acted like a stalker, hiding next to Adele’s dormitory, spying on Adele’s life day after day, and even sneaking into her dreams…
Thinking about it now still made Sharon feel deeply ashamed. She also hesitated for a long time before speaking again.
“The ‘Adele’ at that time… of course I remember, but actually I’m not very familiar with her.”
The real warming of Sharon and Adele’s relationship had to be after Adele took the initiative to help her that time. And then, gradually breaking through the demons in her heart, letting her come out of the fantasy and truly live in reality…
The specks of memories were like gentle spring rain, sprinkling on Sharon’s heart, making her briefly forget the “Adele” in the mirror behind her and immerse herself in the atmosphere of wandering through the past with Adele.
But at this moment, one sentence from Adele almost rewrote all her perceptions. Even in this dream, it started to rain heavily, which was very much in line with their mood. But this time, it wasn’t moisturizing the memories in their hearts, but more like a messy scribble.
“If I said, that ‘Adele’ in the past and I… are not the same person, Sharon, what would you think?”
“…”
“I’ve wanted to ask this question for a long time, but it was always difficult to make up my mind.”
“Now that I’ve asked, my heart feels much lighter.” Saying that, Adele let out a long breath.
As for “Adele” in the mirror behind her, she didn’t react at all.
“Don’t worry, I’m not in a hurry to hear the answer. Just like now, it’s good to be with you for a while.”
“To be honest, I’ve been exhausted recently.” If she wanted to complain, Adele probably had a basket of things to talk about.
But the girl quickly stopped herself. She didn’t want to spread her negative emotions to the girls she liked. As for revealing the truth, it shouldn’t be considered a negative emotion. She was just willing to be naked in front of the girls, both physically and mentally.
That soul from another world, which had now completely integrated into this world, and was still doing its best for the survival of the world.
“Fortunately, there are transmigration novels in this world, and many places are the same as the world I lived in before.”
“So, it’s not so difficult for me to explain it to you.”
“Maybe you’ve already thought of it. Actually, I’m from another world, and I transmigrated here unintentionally after knowing part of the ending of this world’s story in advance.”
“In my world, you are all characters in a book, the villainous heroines, and ‘Adele’ is the protagonist in the book, being bullied by you…”
“So… I’m actually not ‘Adele,’ but another stranger who became ‘Adele.'”
“Speaking of which, my initial wish was just to live well in this world.”
“The most important thing was to resist you villainous heroines who bullied ‘Adele’.”
“I don’t know if I’ve succeeded now…” Adele smiled self-deprecatingly and recounted the truth.
But Sharon looked at the falling rain, not knowing what she was thinking. Although Sharon in the past was taciturn, she had never been as dazed as today.
Adele couldn’t help but feel distressed. The hand near Sharon subconsciously raised at an angle of about thirty degrees, but paused in the air for a moment and then helplessly fell. Although she had a certain confidence in their relationship.
And although she realized that she and the “Adele” of this world might have some essential connection, deception was deception.
What’s more, it had been going on for so long…
If it weren’t for this time, when Sharon had accidentally sneaked into her dream and discovered that she was still confronting the past “Adele,” she might not have revealed everything to Sharon so early.
But then again, Adele herself was also suffering from keeping it a secret any longer.
Therefore, things happened for a reason. Perhaps today was the best time to confess to Sharon, which was the best time she could think of.
Time passed minute by minute in the dream. Although according to experience, the flow of time in the dream was about half of that in reality. That was, one minute could be split into two minutes. But Adele still didn’t wait for Sharon’s answer.
Because understanding was not difficult. The difficulty was in acceptance. Fortunately, Adele was also a little afraid of facing that answer so early. But no matter how afraid she was, when that day came, the girl would choose to bravely accept it, and bear any price.
And then, love her again.
Gradually, Adele felt that the pull of reality was slowly bringing her consciousness back, leaving this illusory dream world. And when the girl’s dream was shattered, Sharon’s consciousness would also return to her body in reality.
“It’s okay, I’m willing to wait,” Adele said quietly, looking at the rain in front of her, at the last moment of their separation. As if behind the downpour that flooded the entire dream world, there was a bright future, and a huge rainbow hung in the sky.
………………
The dream was over, and Adele opened her eyes. She realized that it was already a sunny morning. The sun shone in from outside the window, and a little white cat was lazily licking the fur on its paws.
Beside Adele, there was no one but Sharon. It turned out that everyone had already left, but not one of them disturbed the two’s peaceful dream.
Even Xiao Ai, as a child with the natural right to cause trouble, was just quietly reading on the high stool beside First Snow. At this moment, seeing her mother wake up, she sweetly called out and reminded, “Good morning, Mom~ Breakfast is probably cold.”
“Ah, good morning, Sister Sharon!” Xiao Ai saw Sister Sharon get up after her mother and quickly greeted her.
But whether she was still half asleep or for some other reason, Sharon stared at the void in front of her, without speaking for a long time.
Chapter 458: Her Own Future
Today’s Mom and Sister Sharon were very strange. Xiao Ai thought silently in her heart, not daring to say a word, hiding her occasional peeks behind the picture book.
And in front of her were Adele and Sharon, sitting at the same dining table, enjoying the porridge and pastries warmed by Sister Seraph, but they seemed like they had just met and were still in the socially awkward stage.
Strange, too strange! If it were before, shouldn’t Mom have started teasing the shy and introverted Sister Sharon by now! And Sister Sharon, she always looked expectantly at Mom surrounded by other sisters, hoping to get her attention.
What happened? How did things become like this after waking up? Could it be that Mom didn’t satisfy Sister Sharon last night!?
A thought that was too bold for her apparent age appeared in Xiao Ai’s mind.
“…I’m finished, thank you.” Sharon usually ate very slowly. Firstly, it was a natural habit. Secondly, it might be because she wanted to spend more time with Adele. But today, she was the first to finish her breakfast, and she seemed to be preparing to leave.
Adele pursed her lips, put down the pastry in her hand, and chased after her, saying, “…Then, I’ll see you off.”
Sharon didn’t refuse.
The two walked one after the other, but when they reached the entrance, Adele was already standing side by side with Sharon. At this moment, the two tacitly stopped. But no one knew what kind of mood and words the other party was brewing in their hearts.
Just as Adele was about to speak, Sharon suddenly said, “…When is the next gathering?”
“Eh, you ask this…” Adele’s heart pounded. She suddenly wanted to say, you can stay today, and we can do it again tonight…
But, forget it. Sometimes it was good to keep a little distance. Haven’t you heard that couples who are separated for a while are sweeter when they meet again?
Adele felt that she and Sharon belonged to this situation, definitely! After all, all the memories they created belonged only to each other, and had nothing to do with others, let alone the heroine “Adele” who had been hiding from the beginning!
She was still hiding in Adele’s dream, indifferent to this world. Adele also gradually discovered her existence in her repeated dream explorations.
To be honest, it was quite awkward, this feeling of occupying someone else’s body and starting her new life. But later, the evil god Ain told her that her soul belonged to this body.
Adele still remembered that she was stunned for a long, long time. Although the evil god Ain couldn’t explain it clearly, as a magical otherworldly creature existing in a slime-like soul state, her understanding of souls was definitely much higher than Adele, an outsider.
So her words were basically without a lie. Moreover, she had no reason to lie now. This evil god had completely seen through it and realized how much she had missed when she devoured those pieces of knowledge indiscriminately.
Now, because she saved Teacher Victoria and made her soul return and regain control of her body, she had become an existence that was offered delicious food and drinks (referring to books) in the Enforcement Bureau. Of course, her movements were still restricted, and she had to report to Director Yashi wherever she went.
But Adele didn’t need to do so when she went to find her. So the two had a conversation that still lingered in Adele’s mind.
The evil god Ain said that she had… a strange thing in her body. It was another Adele who looked exactly like her! When she said this, the evil god Ain’s face was pale and scary. But because she was originally pale, Adele didn’t realize this at all.
Adele’s heart skipped a beat at that time. Damn it, as expected of an evil god, she could even tell that she had transmigrated into someone else’s body! Then wouldn’t she also see that her soul wasn’t original!?
It couldn’t be said that the soul would change as the container of the body changed! And then, just as Adele hesitated and tested the evil god Ain to see if she had really seen through her transmigrator identity, the evil god Ain said that one sentence.
—Your soul? Your soul is the same as hers, both belong to this body…
She used the words “same” and “belong.” This had a huge impact on Adele’s entire worldview. Because the evil god’s words, to put it simply, meant that Adele before transmigrating and the protagonist “Adele” of this book had the same soul.
Both were the rightful masters of this body! She was Adele!
………………
“Next Saturday night, everyone should be free.”
“Let’s set it at that time.” Adele had forgotten how long it had been since she had this nervous feeling when asking a girl out.
Unexpectedly, it returned to her today. Sharon secretly glanced at Adele, and seeing her slightly flushed cheeks, her heart couldn’t help but stir. But then she thought that Adele… was a transmigrator, and it was a soul transmigration.
So, she decided not to like “Adele”‘s body first. She wanted to use this time to calm down, to transfer her feelings to that nameless, formless, and genderless person who was basically a void. Because what she loved was the soul of the current Adele.
Although this relationship started with lust, or most relationships in this world needed a physical foundation to further develop, after gradually getting to know each other, this liking would transform into the legendary “love.”
At that time, it would be the attraction between souls. Sharon encouraged herself silently in her heart.
And although Adele still didn’t quite understand what the evil god meant by… she was Adele, she would still explain this matter at the gathering that day, so as to avoid causing confusion in the hearts of all the girls, including Sharon.
So this amazing discovery still had its significance. It meant that the heroine “Adele” was not necessarily the only owner of this body. She, who lived in the modern Blue Star of another world, was also the owner of this body!
Sharon and the others didn’t love the wrong person! Could it be the setting of “three souls and seven spirits”? The soul of a certain big shot was divided into many fragments, and one of them came to Blue Star or something…
As a transmigrator, it could not be said that Adele was narcissistic, but she had always felt that she might not be ordinary. And after living in this world for such a long time, she had also seen evil gods and various strange containment objects from other worlds.
All of this made the girl think, could it be that Blue Star was actually not the upper level of this “world in the book,” but another different world? If this was the case, then many of Adele’s past thoughts would be overturned, and the possibility of another direction would become more prominent.
That was, the author of this yuri novel was very likely… to have an unknown but inevitable connection with this world! They were not the one who created this world, and this world did not exist in the book. They were just a recorder, or not even a recorder.
They set “Adele” as the heroine, using a certain point in her life as the beginning, and then wrote one possibility of her future in the form of a novel?
The stories in the book were all possible to happen in the future! It was one of the thousands of possible futures! And what Adele had created after transmigrating was her own future!
