Chereads / The Guide of Another World / Chapter 18 - Ten Years Ago

Chapter 18 - Ten Years Ago

Rosalina Blumfield. If the introductions displayed at the start of the game are correct. It was stated that Rosalina was someone from Earth who transmigrated ten years ago.

So, Theo thought that Rosalina should already have a social media account. The question now is, has the account been deleted or not?

If so, then Theodore had to search the list of missing persons on the police website. That too if Rosalina is a citizen of that country.

Theodore typed Rosalina's name in the internet search page. Press 'enter' and a list of pages with the name Rosalina Blumfield appears.

But the first few site listings in the search are news sites. Not a social media site. A news site whose headline left Theo stunned. Because those sites will tell you one thing.

A traffic accident that resulted in the death of a girl named Rosalina Blumfield.

Theodore fell silent for a moment. At the initial introduction, the game only explained that Rosalina had moved to another world. Does not explain further that before the woman moved, she was a victim of an accident.

'So... if she manages to come back, then Rosalina can come back to life? No, first of all, what about her body?'

Question after question popped up in Theo's head. He opened one of the articles. Under the title, there are two photos, the first is a photo of the street where the incident took place. The second is a photo of Rosalina Blumfield.

A photo showing the face of a girl who looks like Rosalina in the game Isekai Guide. Of course the face in the photo is much younger. However, with the photo, Theo was convinced that the Rosalina in the game was indeed a real person.

The problem now is, at the end of the article, it is also written that Rosalina's body has been buried. That means, the woman's body has died on Earth.

In that case, was it only Rosalina's soul that transmigrated? However, she now has a body. Then if she returned to Earth, did she return with that body? Or is it just the soul? Her body on Earth was probably already bones!

'Ugh, this is confusing.'

Theo opened the article on another site. He also opened a social media site used by Rosalina. See the address of her house.

Theo read the articles one by one. The more he read, the more he began to recall an incident he had long forgotten. The articles now made Theodore freeze in disbelief.

Because what happened to Rosalina might have something to do with Theo ten years ago.

In the article, it was reported that Rosalina died after helping a student who was about to be hit by a truck that violated a traffic light. Witnesses said the girl pushed the student. Unfortunately, she didn't manage to escape, and allowed herself to be run over.

Reading the article made Theo's heart beat fast. Sweat started running down his body. His hand holding the mouse trembled.

Chronology of events, location, and time. Everything made Theo recall one of the memories buried in his brain. Because... the student that Rosalina saved at that time was...

"Me."

Theo suddenly slumped in his chair. He looked up at the ceiling, imagining the events of ten years ago.

At that time, due to his neglect of reading while walking in the middle of the road, he did not realize that a truck was about to hit him.

It happened so fast. Theo remembered at that time, his body suddenly pushed and seconds later, a truck passed in front of him, crushing a girl who was pushing him.

Shocked by the incident. Theo became lifeless a few weeks after the incident. It was like his body's mechanism forced itself to try to forget the incident. Honestly, it was a trauma for him for the next few years. Where he finds it difficult to cross the road.

Every time he wanted to cross, the sound of truck horns and human body being hit in front of his eyes kept repeating in his mind.

Now of course not as bad as before. Currently, Theo was able to cross normally. But there are still traces. One of them is Theo's fear of trucks. If he was driving down the road, seeing a truck in front or behind him, Theo would reflexively slow down. Create distance between two vehicles.

Likewise when crossing. When he saw the truck from a distance. He chose not to cross. Instead, wait until the truck passes first.

Theo knew at that time one life was lost for saving him. But the trauma at that time made him forget many things. Including the name of the person who saved him.

Theo was like a deadman in the weeks after the incident. His mind is blank. He had a hard time remembering anything at that time.

Theo remembered attending the funeral of the girl who saved him. But the location of the burial place was not imprinted on his memory.

He massaged his forehead. Trying to remember what happened after the accident. None. Nothing to remember. His memories of high school are so hazy. It was only when he entered the university in another city and started living alone that Theo could remember many things and life became normal.

At that time too, Theo began to rarely return to his hometown. Not only because he was too lazy to travel, but maybe because subconsciously, his body avoided going back to the city where the accident occurred.

"Is this a game of fate?"

Murmured Theo who realized that the situation he was in was probably God's will.

Now he understood the reason the app was on him. Not other people. Because Theo might have the responsibility to bring back the girl who was lost in the other world. The girl who has sacrificed her life for him.

"Sigh…"

Theo let out a long breath. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh after realizing his relationship with Rosalina.

He then glanced at the cell phone. Seeing the figure of Rosalina who was laughing with the children. The woman was probably trying to comfort the children after their bitter experience.

Theo reached for his cell phone. He then typed a message for Rosalina.

Theo asked. He wanted to know Rosalina's true feelings. It could be, bringing Rosalina back was just the goal of the system. Not Rosalina herself.

Lived for ten years in Etheria. It is possible that the woman has adapted and wants to live there. All this time, Theo hadn't really heard Rosalina's wishes or goals from her own mouth.

Theo could see the woman was stunned after reading the message. Her face turned serious, then walked away from the crowd of children. The woman answered firmly.

[If I can go back. Of course I want it. My family... I want to see them again. But... is it something that can be achieved? Honestly I doubt it. And Altira... is already like my own home.]

"..."

Theo fell silent. Apparently, Rosalina herself began to waver.

[Hahaha, of course it's your responsibility. You are my system! I need you to make me stronger!]

Reading this question Rosalina looked confused.

[Well, that's true. Shouldn't you already know? After all, you've also been around since I moved into this world. What do you mean you're not a system? You're clearly the system!]

[...Huh?]
