(??? Pov)
I was in shock. I couldn't believe my eyes as I noticed my surroundings.
This isn't my room. Not to mention, this guy I'm staring at in front of the mirror isn't me!
Instead of my dark hair and brown eyes with a plain-looking face, what I was staring at in the mirror was something completely different. The guy in the mirror had dark hair similar to mine, but unlike my brown eyes, he had light blue eyes. Not to mention his face. I wouldn't call him handsome, but he sure as hell doesn't look plain.
Am I dreaming? Is this a fragment of my deep desire to not look plain-looking taking place in the form of a dream?
If that is the case, then I'd like to wake up. This whole thing is too much for my feeble brain.
[ Ding! The user is awake! ]
There was some kind of robotic voice that reached my ears. I quickly turned around, only to stare at an empty bed.
Great, now I'm hearing voices.
[ System Installed! User can now wish for what he wants! ]
... Again?
Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I quickly took a seat on the bed. If what happening currently is a dream, then I'd like to wake up. But if it's not, then I doubt this voice in my head is my imagination.
In which case, I'd rather not mess it up.
"Hey... Can you hear me? The inner voice in my head?"
.
..
...
No answer, huh? I guess I was imagining it then. Great, I am going senile.
[ Waiting for the User to Make a Wish! ]
That sudden voice made me jump in fright, even though I was expecting to hear it again. That means this voice is real, and I'm still sane. Probably.
"... What do you mean by a wish? Where the heck am I?"
Once again, I didn't receive an answer. It was getting creepy and despite my habit of enjoying creepy, horror stuff, I was not digging any of this.
Can someone please tell me what's going on?!
The last thing I remember was going to bed after being done with helping my sister with her homework. I was your normal high school student which is something I'm thankful for. The guy in the mirror looks the same age as me, at least.
I never had a room like this. It's too small. Even though my family is not that rich, we can still afford to not live in such poor conditions. The walls in the room have slight cracks in them. The floor is also a little squeaky. It gives the impression that whoever I'm at the moment, is surely not doing well in money.
*Knock Knock*
The sound of knocking at my door broke me out of my thoughts. I looked towards the door with squinted eyes, trying to make up my mind on whether to open it or not. Whoever is outside this door, I have a feeling I don't know them. Great. Meeting a stranger outside an unfamiliar room I've found myself in, exactly what I'd need after waking up.
Alright, I need to calm down. It could just be my sister. Maybe she is the one who put me in here to prank me. Still, isn't this going too far for a silly prank? Onii-chan is disappointed.
*Knock Knock Knock*
Again? What if it really is a stranger? Maybe I got kidnapped in my sleep and they put me in here. Why did they leave me unbound though?
These stupid thoughts aside, I should probably open the door. It's rude to let them wait on me like this. Still, what if they attack me? I don't have any proper means to defend myself.
Oh, fuck it. I'm going out.
Getting up from the bed, I slowly approached the door. It wasn't a long journey seeing as my room was too small, and before I knew it, I was standing in front of the door.
1... 2... 3... Open it!
I slowly opened the door, only to widen my eyes as I saw the person standing outside.
Blue eyes that looked very similar to my own stared up at me. I tried to keep my cool, but I was probably failing at it as I was gawking at her waist-length white hair with a frilly hairband on the top of her head.
Umu. This girl is cute. The question remains, however...
Who the heck is she?!
"Good morning."
The girl greeted me with a slight bow. I blinked my eyes at her actions, before giving a bow of my own.
"... Good morning." I bowed my head, before looking at her. "Um, if you don't mind me asking, who are you?"
The girl shook her head slightly as she straightened her back. Giving me what I can only assume is a business-like smile, the girl began to introduce herself.
"I'm Shirogane Kei. I and my family live in the apartment opposite to yours. It has been a long time since we had a neighbor, so I decided to introduce myself." The girl bowed her head slightly. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
A cool beauty, huh? That's rare.
"The pleasure is all mine." I returned her bow with one of my own. "My name is..."
Wait-
What the hell is my name?!
The girl stared up at me, looking curious as to why I stopped. Thinking fast, I was about to give her my real name but the voice in my head interrupted me again.
[ Ding! Memory restoration is in Progress! It is advised for user to take a seat! ]
Take a seat, why? Is something going to happen to me?
!!
The answer to my thoughts came in the form of exhilarating pain stinging my head, making me crouch down on the ground with both my hands grabbing my head. Memories, that I'm sure weren't my own, got forcefully shoved inside me as I was forced to live the life of another.
In a matter of a few seconds, I have lived another fifteen years of my life as someone else. It was hell.
"Are you having a migraine attack? Keep yourself together! I'm calling the ambulance!"
My thoughts were completely jumbled due to the pain, and I couldn't hear the worried voice of my neighbor at the moment, but gaining access to this body's memories made me able to recognize her for who she was.
Shirogane Kei. She is that one girl from the Kaguya-Sama anime I watched in my... past life maybe? I'm truly confused about it now. Isn't she the sister of the protagonist?
Gaining access to these new memories has given me all the information I needed to know that I was in an anime world. Famous academies from anime like Shuuchin and ANHS, they exist in this world. Great, I'm in a crossover, with no way of knowing how many anime there are.
This is all so weird. But the weirdest part is the true identity of my current self.
Yuuki Yoshihiro. That's "my" name, and apparently, I'm the brother of the protagonist from that harem and ecchi anime I watched a long time ago. I don't remember the name of the show. I just remember that alien chick from the anime, and that's it.
Yoshihiro has two siblings. Yuuki Rito and Yuuki Mikan. Or at least, that's what he believed till a few months ago.
He was not their real brother. He was adopted.
When that news broke out, the past me was pretty upset. He couldn't handle the truth and decided to leave his home. He gave it his all to get admission into Shuuchin, but his grades were not good enough for their high standards. In the end, he was left with the only choice to get admitted to Sobu High so that he can live separately from his 'siblings'.
That's why I was here. Far from home in Chiba. Living my life in a run-down apartment waiting for my school to start.
What a sob story. My head hurts just by thinking about it.
"The ambulance is on its way! Stay strong!"
I looked toward that voice that reached my ears, only to stare at the very pretty and worried face of my neighbor. I tried to speak up, but my throat was very hoarse and I wasn't able to form any words. Only incomprehensible groaning came out.
I was about to stand on my feet, but before I could, I passed out.
