Could I Really Have Walked Out of a Book?

"The book says we were childhood friends and grew up together, but I can't remember a single little thing we experienced together."

"The book says I first met you as a child at my grandfather's house. But I clearly grew up with my grandmother, and my grandfather died long ago. I never met him."

"The book says I like you."

"The book says you like me."

"But I keep feeling that something is wrong."

You drew in a deep breath and pulled the bowstring back into a full moon, the arrowhead aimed straight at the boy ahead.

"Yukimura-kun, I think everything is wrong. Please stand right there and don't move."

You were sure you had transmigrated.

This definitely wasn't your life.

First of all, you didn't have the knack for being born into a wealthy family.

Second, you weren't stunningly beautiful whether you presented as a man or a woman.

Most importantly, it was absolutely impossible for the Child of God to fall in love with you at first sight.

The worst part was that as long as you refused to admit it, time would rewind to the morning you opened your eyes.

After starting over countless times, you finally accepted your fate and held up your writing pad:

"Yukimura-kun, will you go out with me?"

After waking up in a strange body, your handsome fiance, ancient surname, and abundant inheritance were not enough to move you.

What made you almost unbearably jealous of the original owner was that everyone around her cherished and cared for her.

Simply because she was herself, not someone's substitute.

The only thing you could hold on to, the only one you could use to measure yourself against the original owner, was the boy who was gentle yet composed, always content to watch from the sidelines, but appeared whenever you needed him.

To you, his gaze was like a spider's thread cast down from hell.
