Walking through the corridors with her friends, accompanied by occasional giggles of the girls and flushed faces, a platinum blonde-haired girl with amethyst purple eyes was deep in thought. Her eyes were vacant and her insides were in turmoil because of the anxiety.
'Why did big brot– Caelum disappear suddenly?'
The girls around her stayed silent as if they understood that the purple-eyed girl was in distress. They didn't talk with her because of that. Fearing to distract her from her thoughts.
'Did something happen that I am unaware of? Is it because of yesterday when he injured his hands?'
The girl was worried, she wanted to go to Caelum's room to confirm his situation, but she also didn't want to get in touch with him unless it was necessary. After all–
'I am not her real sister...'
The girl was Seraphina Achard but at the same time not. Her flesh was that of Seraphina but her mind was not.
'I shouldn't change the plot unless it is necessary. Even a small change can cause an avalanche in the future and the world might end because of that.'
Seraphina didn't know if she needed to be grateful for reading the romance web novel about this world before suddenly finding herself here or not. Knowing the fate of the world and trying to not change anything wasn't something easy to shoulder.
'Even me, the sister of Caelum Achard being alive will cause a butterfly effect. I just hope that it won't be a big one.'
After all, Seraphina Achard being alive was already a variable. She herself was a big variable that could change the fate of the world, and make her novel knowledge useless.
And, although, Seraphina had a rational mind unlike Lars who thought of himself as the protagonist of the world, she wasn't free of feelings. Moreover, she was affected by the lingering feelings of this body, hence her worries towards her brother, Caelum Achard.
"Sigh..."
Letting out a heavy sigh, she couldn't suppress the worry in her heart.
'Let's wait until night, if he doesn't show himself, I will visit his room first thing in the morning.'
Returning to her room that was in the Royal Dormitory, she changed her clothes into comfortable ones, tied her hair in a bun, and then took a seat.
Holding a pen, she read the notes she made whenever she remembered something. It didn't matter if it was important or not.
Her legs bounced on the floor up and down and she chewed the pen– clear signs of anxiety. The cause of this was being unsuccessful whenever she tried to skim through the original memories of the body.
Just because she was occupying Seraphina's body and acting like her didn't mean that she had all of her memories and habits.
'The male leads will fall in love with the heroine because of her pure and bubbly personality and they will try to protect her from villains and villainesses in the first year of the academy but they will fail miserably because of their inexperience and lack of strength. Then Caelum will enter the scene to protect the male leads who turn out to be the people he needs to protect...'
Carefully reading the notes about the first year of the academy, Seraphina sighed.
"Sigh..."
Leaning her back to the chair, she rubbed her temples.
'Caelum didn't appear in the novel unless the lives of the male leads were in danger. He was like a strong supporter character, who saved the asses of the male leads. Plus, the male leads trained hard to become stronger after they were saved a few times as they noticed that the heroine developed a slight crush on Caelum who saved her life a few times already. So, Caelum didn't appear much in the second and third years because of the powered-up male leads.'
"Sigh..."
Sighing the umpteenth time, Seraphina harshly scratched her head and gritted her teeth.
'If I want to stay alive, I need to be near the heroine and male leads. They will somehow stay alive unlike the normal students who might die because of the chaotic villains who take pleasure from killing, need live sacrifices, or are indifferent to human life.'
"Agh! I don't want to see male leads and heroine flirting with each other every damn day!"
However, was there a meaning to live if she needed to endure the sugary atmosphere of male leads and the heroine for four years?
Seraphina's answer would be no.
In this world, people die like how people cut the weeds. Even if she manages to survive for four years while staying near the heroine and the male leads, there was no guarantee that she was going to live happily afterward.
There was really no need for her to force herself to endure such sugary atmospheres.
'Staying near Caelum is a relatively good choice, I can remember how he looked after me before Duke Achard sent him to the military. However, these lingering feelings make it a bit hard. They are too much to bear...'
A small smile found its place on Seraphina's face when she thought her brot– Caelum. Pushing herself from the chair, she let herself to the bed and rested her cheek on the pillow.
"Joining the Church of Light and getting closer to the Saintess is a good choice too. Her healing magic is excellent– she can heal me even if I were to get Injured. I'm not even talking about her physical strength..."
Slowly, Seraphina's eyes began to close.
"But... If I want to be high high-ranking priestess and get close to her, I need to practice celibacy... I don't want that..."
Her eyes closed and her mind turned sluggish. The thought of practicing celibacy was a huge negative point for her, after all, she wasn't religious, and like every other normal person, she wanted to create a family.
