Chapter 19, The Protagonist.

Nikami POV

I sat in front of the mirror while Emica was braiding my hair, looking cold and emotionless as ever.

[It has been two years now... And it's finally the time for the game to start... In the Afosíosi Magic Academy. I'm going to start traveling there today...] I thought still staring at my cold reflection in the mirror.

"I'm done Nikami-sama!" Emica smiles when she shows me my signature hair.

I looked at the mirror and stared at my hair.

My long brown hair flows down to my hips, my braid wrapping around my head, bangs covering parts of my emerald eyes. One of my hair strands has the tips of white.

"Thank you Emica." I stood up and took my new uniform.

"It's only my job Nikami-sama!" She smiles energetically while she takes my white glove and gives it to me.

I put on my short-sleeved purple-colored uniform, with a v collar. above my white shirt and black shorts.

I looked down to see at my uniform had a green cross with a white background, in the middle of my stomach area.

My skirt had a black belt wrapped around my hips, the skirt itself had a purple color just like my upper uniform.

I took my glove from emica and put it on my left hand.

"Nikami-sama why do you only put a glove on your left hand?" She asked me while she is tying my green tie

"Sometimes my ice powers gets out of control... When my emotions are too much... Especially in my left hand... So I chose to put a glove here so it would reduce the amount of ice..." I explained to Emica in my same monotone voice, adjusting my glove.

"Ah! Just like what happened in the garden last month? I mean you started to wear one after that incident!" She asks yet again still tying my tie.

"Yes. It's because of that incident." I nodded in agreement.

[Last month I was sitting down with Shu.... We were chatting normally as always... And then she brought up that her brothers mocked her for getting into the academy... And told her that it was just luck and nothing more. Of course, I got a bit mad and..... Well... The palm of my left hand just instinctively just froze the bench... So most of the bench turned into full-on ice spikes... It was more on the left side though...] I thought again in my head.

"And I'm done! We should go downstairs Nikami-Sama! Your parents are waiting." She smiles at me.

I nodded and continued to walk downstairs with Emica, where I met my parents

Mother was sobbing and 'Father' had a sad smile on her face.

I walked up to them and did a little courtesy bow.

"Greetings mother and father." I said to them with the same emotionless look on my face.

"WAAAHHHH!! My baby is all grown up..." Mother sobs even more and she flung herself into my arms.

"Geez... Eri, can't you calm down even a little bit?" 'Father' laughs a bit.

"Oh come on Mari!! Your trying to can't tough and all but you were crying all night as well! It was very cute!" Mother said angrily pointing at her, still in my arms.

[I'm just going to ignore what she said in the end....] I thought to myself, agreeing with what I just thought.

"Hu-huh?! N-no I wasn't.... I wasn't crying at all...." 'Father' tried to retaliate against Mother, stuttering along the way.

"Your trying to act tough again! Hmph... I'll punish you later~" Mom said in a mischievous voice that sent chills down both fathers and my spine.

[I'll just ignore that...] I thought once again.

"Father, please.... It's very alright to cry. I feel like you won't miss me at all..." I looked down, a bit sad. Patting my mother's head.

'Father' immediately looked guilty and tears started to fall down her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry dear!" She hugs me tightly, two parents sobbing in my arms.

[Too easy...] I thought smiling a bit, I looked at mother making the same expression as I am. We're thinking the same thing aren't we?

Both of my parents hugged me tightly before we said our tearful goodbyes...

[No there isn't a tear on my face what are you saying?] I thought as I wiped off my tears with my handkerchief. I mean no I don't have a tear at all.

Fast forward for a couple of hours I am sitting down inside the carriage reading a small book.

[The ride has been going quite smoothly, The school is in another country that is why we need to ride a carriage to go there... Unlike the Main Character who just walked all the way to the school, just like other Main Characters she is a commoner. She is just a plain and normal gir-who am I kidding? No, she's not. She may be the Main Character of a Yuri Otome Game... But their developers puts very interesting twists and turns in the game, there are even mysteries that haven't been solved yet... The developers took the standard Otome games and twisted them into a cool and unique thing. As Haiki called it...] I thought while reading my book

Then.... Suddenly the carriage stopped.

"Shiromoru-sama... There is a person with a huge bag blocking our road... What should we do?" The Coachman said to me, slightly distracted.

[Speaking of Main Character....] I thought while shutting my book and gently put it on my seat

"I'll go take care of it." I said to the Coachman and opened the door and walked outside.

The girl turned around to face me and saw my family emblem on the carriage, and then her face immediately went from happy to horrified.

"I-i'm so so so so sorry!!" The girl with the huge backpack apologized to me

"It's alright." I told her with the same cold voice I have.

Then suddenly...

A Picture flashed in my face....

It was a girl with long white hair tied to a side ponytail, bangs covering her forehead.

Her tie having a cookie on it, and a single large lock of hair naturally sticking out of her head. It was curving weakly.

Her uniform was the same as mine, around her was glittering light. Like anime effects.

[Wha... What was that...? It is the same thing I am looking at right now... Though it was... Hand-drawn? Animated? The Perceive of reality... Was changed... There was.... Weird effects around her though... Don't tell me... Was that a CG?]
