"Fuhh..."
A girl sighed with great relief as she took off her headphones. Her appearance was simple, her long purple coloured hair fits the colour of her clothes. She turned toward her right, crossing her legs as she smiled at herself. She has ample breasts, the average size for most growing teenagers her age group. What's catching in her appearance is her beautiful pair of snow white eyes and her beautiful milky white skin colour.
She heard the footsteps closing in on her as she smiled at him, "Kan, thanks."
The boy similar to her looks placed down a cup of hot coffee on her desk, his appearance only have a few differences, his shorter hair making him look prim and proper as if he was part of a student council. Which is the truth, as the vice president of the council.
The girl in front of him is the president of said student council.
He nodded, mouthing at her with his lips, "You are welcome."
Oh right, and he's mute.
She sipped on her coffee while facing her eyes on a chatbox in her laptop screen. A message then appeared as she heard a ding sound of the notification.
'Kanade, will it be fine to let them handle with those thugs? You spotted their counterparts in the same room.'
It was Kan's chatbox.
"It's fine... you watched her fight right?", she replied with a relaxed tone. She was impressed with the two Rirotas' capabilities without the usage of their special powers.
'I did, she's really fast... but what's concerning is her counterpart, that man is wayyyy faster than her.', he added several emoticons to exaggerate his reaction.
Kanade giggled softly as she smiled at him, "Indeed, Kan. But I'm afraid that's not enough against the stranger's powers. What point of speed if you can't even get a hit on her fog forms?"
He nodded as he moved his lips, "Exactly...", his eyes wandered to her other screens in the dark room.
*ding*
'You should take a rest and head to class after recess.'
"Hm-mhm.", she faced the screens revealing a blank chatbox with two pictures of a light blue haired boy and girl.
"I wonder how special are they? If only I can hack into their phones right now...", she mumbled to herself as Kan sighed to himself.
*ding*
She pouted, "Fine~ I'm going!"
...
Inside of an abandoned snooker clubhouse.
"Ugeukk!!?"
The rowdy and burly delinquent touched his face feeling numb from the painful punch from his assailant after falling on his back.
He yelled at the person with light blue hair with visible dark highlights who had landed a strong punch to his face, "H-How the hell that weak ass punch hurt so much!?"
The boy stole a side glance at his right fist and shrugged himself as a polite voice comes out of his mouth, "Thank you for the compliment."
"It wasn't a compliment, you idiot!!"
He groaned as he held against his bloodied nose, [Why and how did he even know about this hideout?! He even figured out that we could be a gang that deal with ransom?!!]
[Impossible! It must've been a fluke, a really good lucky guess!!]
"Right... I remember him telling me that you thugs are real scums and also engaged in sexual violence.", the boy spoke in a cold and deadly tone, sending shivers down the thug's spine.
"I should just eliminate all of you... but, I don't want to change the course of fate since I want to meet him again."
He confused him with his threatening and odd sentences, "Wha---", he felt a sharp pain as his eyes rolled backwards before his head suddenly fell on the ground.
The boy shook off his right fist from the blood. He had pummeled his fist against the thug's face, sending him down to kiss the concrete floor with his back.
He sighed as he glanced at his back for a girl resembling his appearance. Their major difference are her hair covering her right eye and her smaller and petite stature. And yes, she looked like a lost middle schooler in an abandoned building.
"Well, Tresna. Let's go home before more of them comes back.", his politeness was replacing the dark and dirty atmosphere as if he was brimming with affable natures.
However, her voice made him trembled. Despite looking like a little sister of him, her cruel tongue proved that she couldn't be easily messed with, "Sanguina.", she rolled her eyes, annoyed with his polite nature, "I told you to call me Sanguina outside of the house, Tresna at home and lastly, Lauren in school, Ren!"
He clicked his tongue, surprising her next as she trembled from his darker voice, "Tch, shut the fuck up, your insolent sack of shit.", he furrowed his brows in irritation as she smiled erotically from hearing his true sadistical natures.
"Yes!~", she was going to bow her head down until she was suddenly lifted up in the air. She felt something was stopping her breathing as she looked down at the hand gripping her neck.
"G-Guuhh... master...", she felt like passing out before suddenly being able to breathe normally. He dropped her down as he held his forehead, he wore a disgusted expression with himself after choking the neck of his sister.
She recovered her breathing as she hugged him by his right arm, she was still under the charm of his dominant voice as she rubbed her cheeks against his arm, "Master, are you okay?~"
He glared into her eyes without moving his face toward her, startling her as she sweated profusely after regaining her mind back from her masochistic state. She pouted sulkingly as she averted his eyes, "Okay, I'll stop calling you that outdoors."
She seems to get the memo just from his glares.
"Haa... Sorry for choking you, Sanguina.", he said timidly after taking a deep breath to rid himself of his sadistic state. One can only wonder why are their personality so twisted compared to other twins.
It was simple. The boy, Ren, was originally a polite and well-spoken boy in his previous world, he acted as such to mainly attract unwanted attention like a bully to come and... bully him. He then showed his true colours by mercilessly beating the living lights out of them with his sadistical natures.
Now, the girl... Lauren, Sanguina, or Tresna. Sheesh, she loved making up names for her own satisfaction. What's next? Renna and Ketsueki?
*ahem* In her previous world. She put up a strong face, acting cold and unapproachable to avoid any interaction with another human. However, it was a strong enough facade that she's capable of backing up her arrogance with her smarts and strength. Until she found out that in this world, she's a masochist.
*rips*
Ren ripped open a 'gate' like a paper in front of him, slightly above his head as he was measuring his own height to ensure it's working perfectly. Inside the ripped space, a view of a living room was seen inside. He then faced behind him for her as he spoke, "Let's head back to class, sis."
She nodded, "Yeah, brother.", she was still admiring his unique ability ever since they woke up in the same bedroom for the first time a few days ago...
...
Four days ago... in the morning.
Sunday, 3rd April.
*yawns*
A boy of light blue hair with dark highlights woke up from his relaxing slumber and noticed that his room was his old bedroom back in Ridgea. He remembered how dull his room looked like ever since the death of his family. Several posters and the painting of him and his family commissioned by a talented artist have been ripped from the walls of his bedroom.
He remembered to have been reading a ton of books on his family's business, judging by the scattered books lying on the floor. Although this was rather confusing to him since he used to live in a different place in Gearn-Lotus ever since he joined his father's company.
[A dream back when I'm young? No, this feels too real.]
He looked down at his body to find himself bewildered by his younger form, what has happened to him?
He stood up from the bed as he walked toward the calendar to properly check on the dates.
"2022."
"Six years ago? Hold on... I need to check my phone...", he turned back to face the bed and noticed his old phone beside his pillow. He snatched his phone and looked at the time and digital date.
'3rd April 2022'
'8:00a.m.'
"Huh... that's like two months after my..." [Huh?], he finally took notice of the girl who was sleeping in his bed. At first, he looked around panicked to scan his surroundings to make sure he wasn't sleeping in the wrong house.
But, seeing his middle school trophy for winning a sports tournament on the floor instead of on top of the cabinet made him even more puzzled by the sudden appearance of the unknown girl in his bed.
He looked back at her and noticed her features as a blush appeared on his face, [Oh damn, she's like a little angel... wait, wait, wait!!]
He looked around his room to find two wardrobes and two desk with gaming computers. To his knowledge, he only has one of them in his room. His observations didn't help him figure out what's going on as he tried to collect his memories.
[Name, Ren Auroth. Born in 8th August, age fourteen... I lost my arm and regained it back somehow after a certain odd dream. Parents died during a plane trip to Aristo two months ago, making me suddenly take the mantle of my father's water company.], he looked down at his right arm as he clenched and unclenched his fist.
[I still feel nothing from that squeezing, so... I'm really back in the past but... I have no idea who is...]
*rustles*
His heart froze.
He immediately turned away from her and sat down on the floor as she slowly sat up from her slumber. She looked around for her phone and fetched it before noticing something out of the ordinary to her.
"...?", she noticed the back of someone's head, causing her to tilt her head in confusion.
[...Why is he in my room? I don't recall...!!!], her face turned bright red before she checked on her body. She sighed with relief after noticing that she was wearing her clothings.
She remembered her last fraction of memories before waking up in this bed, [I... remember being drunk because I got fed up with the tasks as a manager and... then... I was hit by a truck?]
She found her own memories a little perplexing as she doesn't find any wounds on her body. She took a careful inspection of his familiar hair colours.
"Who?", she muttered under her breath. She was bewildered by the boy who looked similar to her judging just from the dark blue highlights of his hair. It was the same as her mother's as she furrowed her brows sadly. She was lonely ever since her parents died during a trip to Gearn-Lotus when she was fifteen years old, being taken care by one of her relatives and loyal workers of her father's company.
[Hm?], she recognised something was off with her appearance. Her breasts got smaller than it already was before she woke up. She turned her head to find a mirror installed in the wardrobe door and noticed her younger appearance.
"I'm younger?"
A smile crept on her face as she remembered her last thought before dying, ['I want to be reborn with a brother...']
The boy heard her voice talking about her younger appearance and wondered to himself, [What does she mean by that? Don't tell me... that we're actually...]
[I really am...]
"Reborn." - the girl.
"Back in time?" - the boy, Ren.
They looked at each other in the eyes and was both confused by each other's assessment of their situation. Ren, frowned to try to remember what really happened before he 'turn back time'.
His eyes widened as he remembered his fate, [Oh, shit. I got isekai'd back in time!? I saved a boy from getting hit by a train, switching places with him... oh geez! I let my company and him down for sure!]
He sighed as he asked her, "Who are you? I'm Ren Auroth."
"Huh? But I'm Ren Auroth, owner of AurothWaters.", she pointed her finger at herself surprising him of her name, he could see that she wasn't lying from her confused tone, "Are you... for real?", he had to make sure.
She lashed out at him, "Of course I am! Why do you also have my name?!"
He frowned from her loud voice and glaring before asking her in a timid voice, "I'm... not lying, though?"
"Huh?"
"Explain!", she demanded an explanation as he too, wanted an explanation of this odd phenomenon, "I would like the same explanation too!", he unconsciously gripped against her hair that was hiding her right eye, his voice turned darker than how he used to act in his own previous life, "Tell me, impostor."
"W-What?", she trembled from him suddenly acting like a thug. However, why does she feel as if she was enjoying this all of the sudden?
[W-Why am I... Am I actually enjoying this? This doesn't feel right at all!!], she became clueless by her own self. In her previous life; She was a normal girl with a normal life... Lies, she was cold and unapproachable to most people and she used that window of opportunity to hurt their feelings with fake love letters from their crushes.
However, in this world?
[A-Am I... a masochist now?], she was smiling happily before she know it. The boy realised his words and actions as he released his grip of her hair with an apology, "Sorry... I... actually have issues with my attitude. I try to act kind and friendly so that I won't hurt others."
"S-Sure...", she said nonchalantly as she kept her distance from him.
In his entire life, he always had been the most polite person from birth. He loved seeing people smile with happiness whenever they received his helping hand. Although, he also loved beating the hell out of people who picked on him thanks to his timid appearance and kind attitude.
Him instinctively wanting to choke her went wild after she lashed out at him with her venom like tongue. They've never met before, which is a good enough reason for him to ask for forgiveness.
He sighed heavily as he changed the topic, "Let's discuss what we were doing before we wake up in this predicament. And plan out a new name for you since calling each other Ren ain't going to help us communicate better when in public space."
He squinted as he remembered something before his death but shook his head after thinking about the person he was supposed to meet. Talking about this person was pointless at this point since he wasn't even sure whether it's possible to find him in the first place.
"Is this Ridgea?", she asked, after taking in his words and not replying to his question to get a new name for herself or himself. Her voice was back to her usual crueler tone. He nodded and explained to her with a polite smile, "Ridgea, more accurately Fillidgea. This is my... our bedroom from when I used to live here with my... our parents."
She furrowed her brows slightly but let it slide as she felt something akin to herself in him, "So... we're still parentless in this world, okay. Let's talk about everything from what we remember from our own lives, since we're in a different world now."
He was confused by her last words, "We're not back in time? Uh...", he wasn't sure whether to call her Ren or not. She replied with a new name for herself, "Call me Lauren...", she sighed as she explained her meaning, "I used to live here too, although my room would still have some pictures of my parents over there and there, since I remember my parents died when I was fifteen.", she pointed her finger at two spots that he used to remember having the drawing and framed photos there.
"... You really are me, Ren Auroth, but as a girl."
She nodded, "Yeah."
"...But, I threw away the drawing and framed photos outside, two months ago after my parents died during a plane trip."
"Huh?", she was dumbfounded by his words as she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Why did you do that for?!!"
"Sorry!!!"
