Such a bliss.
"Fufufu"
Aria-sama who was caressing my hair giggled as I rest my head on top of her laps.
Her slow yet gentle way of caressing my hair was like a magical spell that makes me never wanting to escape from this sensation.
It's like I don't want myself to leave from this position anymore...
I mean....This feeling is so warm and all...And this is the first time that I can feel a sensation of a gentle touch.
Feeling this new kind of warmth. I couldn't help but feel a bit too greedy you know....
Aria-sama then giggled again.
"I'm glad that you enjoy it but now, I think it's about time."
"Hmmmm?"
...
Aria-sama then stopped caressing me and said that with an apologetic look on her face.
"I see...."
I sighed and pouted a little since I understood what needed to be done.
I slowly raised my body from the lap pillow with a hesitant feeling.
To be completely honest, I still want to be patted by her but I think that I might have already used too much time.
"Its okay we can continue it next time~"
"Really!?"
I accidentally raised my voice because of the excitement of having a next time, and of course, Aria-sama had a surprised look on her face but she quickly returned to her gentle smile and gaze that she have.
"Hoh my~ you are honest now."
"I... Uhmmmm....."
"There there...."
While being embarrassed again, she patted my hair and stood up.
I also followed and stood up facing her.
"It's already time so I will be sending you off to your new body."
"Got it....."
I don't know, I just feel a bit upset knowing that I really need to leave now.
It can't be helped...
"ohhh, your face looks so dejected fufufu, you really don't want to go huh."
"!!?"
"No! I uhmmm...."
"My my~You really want to stay with me don't you ~"
She said to me with the teasing voice making me blush again.
But its true that I don't want go, I rather want to stay here with Aria-sama but I know I shouldn't do that since I have a new mission to accomplish.
"Good girl~ don't worry I will caress you hair next time when you come back here again."
"Yes...."
"So it's goodbye for now, don't forget about all the things we talked about a while ago okay~"
"understood....."
And so with her farewell, my body slowly started fading away. I then closed my eyes and smiled for a little knowing that a new life is waiting for me..
"Fufufu good luck and take care"
And thats the last words that I heard from Aria-sama who waving her hand with a smile on her face as I felt floating away from her.
----------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes and what appeared before me was a super large room. But even though it was large it kind of felt eerie to me.
The light inside the room is kind of dim. And it makes me wonder if it's currently night outside or is it because the room is always dark even if it's daytime.
I then tried turning my head to check my surrounding but, I feel like I couldn't turn it. I then tried using my eyes to look around but it seems as if it was fixated only to one spot in front of me.
So I guess I'm stuck huh.....
...Darn it.
Hmmm...This is bothersome huh. Not being able to move my body makes me feel so weak and vulnerable
I sighed and then focused on the objects that are in my range of view, checking what I could find.
In front of me, or a distance away in front of me, my eyes are fixated on a big dusty and sturdy looking door.
I wonder what's behind that big sturdy door? I honestly want to move but sadly I can't.
Ughhh, this is really such a bother...
Remembering what I've talked about with Aria-sama from a while ago. She said that I will have to wait for the transfer of magic to get inside my body and I guess my ability to move also comes with that.
Uwaaa!... this is annoying!.... so annoying!..... I can't move my limbs, I can't even move my eyes to look around.
.....So useless!
Hmmmm.
..... Wait come to think of it, If my eyes are able to move sooner, I think that would be kind of creepy.
I mean, I'm currently a doll right?
Imagine having a doll with it eyes moving around, yeah that , I can see myself being burned or like dying early if I were caught.
Hahaha....
yeah, I think I will need to be careful.
Anyways, I think I should go collect some information about this place soon after I gain control of my body .
Being completely clueless and unaware of my surroundings can lead to a fatal mistake afterall.
And now that I mentioned that. This feeling of investigating and planning my moves remind me of something.
....
...Ahh, got it.
I remember playing some horror like games before where you are in an unknown place and you have objectives to gather infomation for yourself, and well to be honest.... I find it hard to believe that here I am going to imply those objectives or missions like I am also a character inside a game.
But of course I know that there will be no instruction or objective that will guide me unlike those games since this is real life where I am alone.
Hmmm!?
Wait a minute.
If we are talking about games....
.....when it come to horror games, there will always be monster and some creepy enemies right ? but thinking about it now, shouldn't be that the enemy here in this situation will be me?
Basically I'm very much like a ghost possessing a doll. in movies, I would ended up being defeated by the main characters and there will be like a resurrection telling the audience that I'm not completely defeated yet.
Hmmm yeah...
This situation is really awkward.....
But still how can I collect information when I can't even use my whole body? do I need to wait for like several days doing nothing.
Hmmm yeah.... that sounds very likely to happen.
And if that was the case then,that will surely be annoying.
"You brat!, go back into your room!"
!!!!?
Sound?
As I was busy sorting my thought regarding my body's situation, I heard a voice of angry man shouting, seemingly coming from behind the door.
The door in front of me then suddenly opened with a huge amount of force behind it accompanied with the sudden light that came from outside the door in which blinded me, but of course there won't be any expression on my face since I'm just a doll.
...
Next after that was a small girl with black and blue eyes being kicked from behind falling to floor in front of me.
"urkk!"
*Thud*
She fell to the floor with force accompanied by a loud noise as she hit the floor.
"Ughhhh...I'm.... Sorry...."
To kick a little girl, aren't you going to too far? .... Just who is this guy?
"I told you countless times to not leave the room!!"
The one who said that was a man, maybe around the age of 30. He was wearing an expensive looking brown coat paired with brown pants.
And for his facial figures, he has a neatly shaved beard and blue sharp eyes that are sharp. His blonde hair is also combed back straight. His wrinkles are also not that easily visible.
Honesty..... He really looks like a proper man but this man in front of me..... He is way too different from how he looks.
"But... all I wanted to do is-"
"Enough!!"
The girl tried to answer back but the man is not willing to listen to any of it.
"If I say that you can't then that's it!. "
"That's....."
What a selfish and stupid reason, just what is that sense of thinking.... I'm kind of inching to punch this man's face already.
"You better not do this next time!! If you do... "
The man glared at her, and for some reason the girl trembled and just looked down.
"..."
"Good, remember it this time."
"... "
The girk didn't speak anymore. And the man lost his interest to continue speaking and just turned around and walked towards the door. .
The man left the room and closed the door again with force causing a loud noise to ring inside the room.
"Father...."
The girl said in a weak and expressionless tone of voice.
Hmmmm?
Wait, did she said father?, that man was her father?
"..."
In front of me now was a girl who slowly stood up and turned towards me.
Ehhh.....
once I saw her face, I was taken aback because of how dead her eyes were.
Her arms were so thin that some of the bones outline are already visible.
She only wore a blue ragged out cloth and it also seems to dirty to look at..... doesn't she have any proper clothes??...atleast one?
Anyways..... There are so many bruises on the girl's skin which is a sign that she was already hit many times before with something.
You know... This appearance is not something a normal girl should have... this is too painful to look at.....
Just how badly was she treated by the people around her?
I don't like this....it makes me want to punch those people who done this to her
How can they be so cruel to a girl like this. She looks so broken... this is too much for a girl.
The difference is so drastic compared to my experience in my previous life. Thankfully my so called parents still have some proper thinking and control to not get overboard.
And atleast before, I was still somewhat healthy because of the nannies that were hired and I was also not overly physically abused.
But this girl..... This girl is experiencing a much more worse reality than me.
How much pain did she get? for how long did she even endured this? Was it like this everyday for her?.
What had she felt so far....
I wouldn't dare to even try to compare my hardship with this girl's situation
What Aria-sama was wrong....
She is not experiencing something like mine....She is different.
Ughhhh.....
Those people.Just what kind of humans are they!?
And as I was thinking about my rising anger towards the people who done this to a frail girl like this.
The girl slowly approached me and weakly stretched her arms to me before grabbing me and hugging me.
"Unfortunate..."
Ehhh?
Unfortunate?
She then sat down with me placed on top of her laps.
My eyes were pointed towards the girls eyes as I'm positioned face to face with her.
"It's so unfair...."
The girl said that with an awfully cold voice that have a deep strong emotion within.
"This life....Is so unfair..."
The small girl with dead fish eyes slowly released tears that went down her cheeks while having a pained small smile on her face.
"am I..... not a good girl?...*hic*.."
The girl looked at me, and started venting to me. And her tears kept coming out of eyes nonstop...
"Why do I need to be locked up? ..... Why do I have to be treated like this? ....."
she then embraced me, and because of that... All that I can able to see this time was only her cloth in front of my eyes. But I could still hear her cry above me.
"Why do I need to be left alone?..."
Alone.....That feeling....
She didn't have anyone to rely on..... No one was there for her...no one is protecting her.....It must be hard right?
Just how much suffering has went through?
"Everything is so unfair...*hic*....so unfair..."
She's right..... This is unfair for her.
She doesn't deserve this... I remember saying the same words to myself from before.....but rather than my experience before... She has the most right to say that rather than me.
"I've done nothing wrong and yet....*hic*... "
Crying and coughing.....she continued venting towards me.
"Will I need to keep feeling this?.....*hic*"
I can only listen to all of what she says.... But really .I want to reply to her somewhat...But right now, that's impossible.
"I just want to be happy... But why can't I...*hic*."
And as time flew by as she cried the night....
She laid down on the bed while her voice gradually lost its strength.
"Not fair.....so unfair."
Her voice getting lower and tired. And now it was like a whisper.
"I only....want...to be..... loved....."
"..."
And soon after that, I couldn't hear anything. Was she done crying?
Did she fell asleep? . I also couldn't feel my body, I dont know if I'm laying down and I dont know if she was shaking or not.
And after a long silent time passed, I finally came to the conclusion that she cried herself to sleep.
But still, during all the time that she started venting out in front of me.
I want to hug her... I want to comfort her... Its so frustrating and painful to not be able to do anything for her.
She is suffering so much and right now.... I'm so very close to her..... She is just in front of me and yet I couldn't even do a single thing.
I'm so useless am I?
This girl cried in front of me yet there was nothing I can do for her.
Several minutes have passed again with me just staring on the girls clothes and doing nothing.
During this time, I tried if I can manage to atleast move a part of my body, but just like before, it didn't work.
I also tried sleeping to pass time but seemingly it seems like I couldn't sleep. I'm not feeling tired and exhausted. But the main thing is.... My eyes were always open, it feels weird to sleep with both of my eyes open you know.
With no other options I can think of to pass the time. I sighed internally and continued staring into the usual spot.
Hmmm!?
I suddenly recalled one of the things Aria-sama told me.
Come to think of it....
She said I can talk to her by praying right?, maybe I should just do that.
Aria-sama.... Please answer.
[Hhmmmm, you called? That was rather quick]
Wow.... She replied back really quicky too... honestly is she really busy?
[Fufufu I'm busy you know... Well sometimes~.....]
Sometimes??..... Doesn't that sound fishy and suspicious.
[You don't need to ponder about it~....]
Hmmm
Come to think of it, Aria-sama is just reading my mind so casually like it's nothing, I am beginning to think like I wouldn't need to use my mouth anymore when I'm going to talk to her next time.
[You should use it~it will feel awkward if you don't~]
Well honestly its your fault for reading my mind and replying to what I'm thinking. You are already answering my question before I even ask them.
[O-oops Anyway what was the reason for calling?]
Ohhhh she changed the subject huh... Oh well.... I will let it slide for now.....
[Its about the girl....]
[Ohhhh.. So how was she?]
[in pain....]
[...]
I'm pretty sure that Aria-sama already knew about this. And I think she could've already acted for her if possible.
[Yes.... Well this is why I'm leaving the girl to you....]
I see.... But I would need some guidance, because this is my first time..... Taking care of someone.
[Don't worry~ I will always be here when you don't know what to do~]
Hearing Aria-sama helping me put my mind to ease. It's true that this is the first time that I will take care of someone but I don't have any idea on how I will do it since I'm also someone who didn't receive any tender care when I was young.
Well correction... there was but it was only for a short period of time.
[Thank you....]
[Fufufu~]
Well unto the next subject. I will need to know about when I could finally move my body... It's so annnoying that I can't do anything about it.
[It will be after tomorrow...but during that time, your control of body will still be difficult so maybe after two days to be sure]
That's long....Well I can wait for that but right now...
I really want to do something for the girl as early as possible. Even if it's only a simple thing, I just want to do something that can help and reassure her.
As I thought about, I then recalled her dead looking eyes devoid of happiness and hope.
No more....
I don't want her to break even more.
[I see, if that's what you want then sure.]
Ehhh??... What does she mean by that?
[Just wait here okay~I will be back shortly.]
Huh?....okay?... I'm so confused.... Just what is Aria-sama planning right now?
