And We Meet Again – Classmate Isekai Side Story 1 – Chapter 4

  I was stunned at what the red-haired maid said; what does she mean by true name? What is she talking about?"Sorry, I didn't hear that, right?" - I said in a shaky voice while colpsing to my knees."Leona?" - She questioned while looking me in the eyes."Hikari?" - The red-haired maid gasped when she heard her name; what is this? What is happening? It can't be, it can't be.She held me in her arms and carried me to my room. Tears are covering my eyes, and I can't see anything; everything is blurry in my mind, and I can't understand this anymore.2 hours ter:I woke up, and I was surprised that the maid was still near me, taking care of me."I am sorry, Leona. It's been such a long time, and yet I made a huge mistake by pouring that boiling water over you. I am a monster" – it looks like she held back tears, but that confirms it: she is Hikari, the same Hikari I knew, the same person I loved; she is here with me in this world, everything else is dammed."Don't worry, I deserved it. I live as Fatima Iris now; I must repent for her mistakes. If you don't mind," – I leaned my head into her p, face up, looking at her face."It's always like you to be so calm" – Hikari continued to sob."It's ok." – I extended my hand to her face, caressing her right cheek."I am happy I meet you again. I don't know if we can tell anyone about us, but remember, I love you with all my heart" – Hikari leaned down and kissed me. It took only a few moments, but the kiss was passionate; we had a lot of catching up to do"Well, I need to return to my duties now that I know. Meet you again tonight, here, in my room. Is that ok?" Hikari smiled and nodded."1st, I will speak with the maids to treat you better. Secondly, I will make sure to spend more time with you, my love," she smiled as we both left our room. We were lucky that no one had seen us. I didn't want anyone to see me in that state; it was just too shameful for me. I regret what happened between Fatima and the maids; this has been way too fast-paced for me; it just happened. I don't know anymore; I am happy I met Hikari again. I can't wait to meet her again. I don't know what she did, but the maids treat me better; some even call me by my st name instead of Fatima."Hi there, Leona," she whispered in the st part. The head maid smiled while passing me. What happened? She is usually pretty cold toward me; why the sudden shift?I continued with my duty of helping the maids; they were a lot more talkative, making more small talk than before and calling me by my old name when my dad or anyone who didn't know me.My dad seems to accept me working with the maids slowly; I just spun a story about how that will help me with my future husband and all, that doing housework and reted jobs should also be my duty. Long story short, he sounded pleased with it.One fact that I found interesting is that Fatima's mother died during childbirth; she has 2 more brothers who are older than her, and they all despise Fatima all the same; her personality was rotten to the core, and that was before I reincarnated in her body."Fatima, I am very pleased that you are trying to learn to be a good wife, but something noble dies shouldn't do. I ask you to do them less often and focus on your studies." – My dad was calmer than the st time he talked with me; things have been moving faster than I would like, but I have little time for storytelling."I will do them with the maids; you can have my tutor here while I work with them in housekeeping and cooking. Don't underestimate me, Father; I can do two things at once." – I had to pay attention to 10 or more things at once in the military. Before suffering the organ damage, I was pretty bright in my career as a soldier. I wasn't the best, but not the worst either; I was somewhere in the middle going up."Well, if you are confident enough. Even if I told you no now, I see that you have enough conviction. I will leave you to it; your tutoring resumes tomorrow." – I wonder why he changed his tune so fast about this whole thing; maybe he gave up? I don't know yet either, but it should be quieter."Hey there." Hikari entered the room where I was cleaning."Hi, how have you been?" - I asked Hikari while she was scrubbing the floor."Well, as you can see, I am working. I couldn't help but overhear the discussion. Can you assign me to you as your supervisor, you know, to stay with you so you can actually study? That way, we can be together more." - I looked back at Hikari while I was reaching to clean the tops of some shelves."Sure, that is my pn. There is still a lot left today, so let's not waste too much time.""Not wasting time is always so you. You are too serious,"- She giggled while continuing her work.The day didn't wrap up until the night; the work was just basic maid stuff, such as cleaning, cooking, and washing clothes.The maids invited me into the room tonight, where maids usually gather to chat at the end of the day.There were the usual chats about their work and how hard or easy the job today was, as well as typical gossip from women and girls."Now, to our main point, we wanted Leona to be here. As the head maid, I deem it immoral for someone else, even if they share the same body as the person who committed those terrible acts against us, shouldn't be subjected to them; for all we know, Miss Fatima, we knew is all gone" – The head maid addressed me, her expression warm and her hand extended."I mean, I know why she didn't tell us, but going through someone else's problems and trying to fix them is something," – A green-haired maid spoke."I agree," another maid said, looking at me with a cheerful smile."Well, we have all the proof we need from your behavior, but now, we need the ultimate proof. We will have Hikari use her legendary skill on you, and it will show if your soul is truly that of Fatima or Leona. I already know the result, but this will seal the deal; what do you say?" - Hikari, skill? I don't know this terminology, but it is equal to magic."Here we go, my love" – Hikari knelt near me and put her hands over my face.To my shock, a projection of how I looked in my past life appeared, sickly both mentally and physically, barely able to walk or keep awake.The maid looked at each other; most seemed to shed a few tears.I don't know how the projection appeared, but when I was reincarnated here, I obtained a few skills, too; I don't know what they do or how to activate them, but I will learn in due time."Well, we decided; our main grudge is against Fatima, not you. We always welcome you with open arms now that we know you are what Hikari says you are. Now, everyone is dismissed." – The head maid ordered us to go to our rooms.
