Chapter 23: An Invitation to School

“I want to ask, are there any other reincarnators like me in this world?”

She closed her eyes, then opened them again after a moment.

“I only know that there must be other Magic Boxes like myself.”

“Oh~”

She looked at me thoughtfully, as if she were contemplating something.

“How’s this body?”

I looked at her as if I were staring into a mirror—except her hair was black.

“It’s okay,” I said vaguely.

“Hmm… Is there nothing else you want to ask?”

“Well, no… Actually, yes. I want to know why my body changed like this, while Xiao Linlin’s body remained the same, just with a different species.”

“You mean the maid working in the same lord’s territory as you? As for her… she should have been hit… no, summoned—so she wouldn’t have undergone any changes.”

“Eh?”

So that truck those guys in our class talked about really is a means of transportation to another world.

“So I…”

“You are a reincarnator, because when you died…”

*Creak~*

It was the sound of a coffin lid being opened—how could I hear that from here?

“Chuye! Get up, or I’ll call the Young Master.”

“I’m up! Otherwise, Fuwelle will…”

I sat bolt upright in the coffin. Xiao Linlin was sitting beside me in her usual maid outfit, her hands pinching my cheeks.

“The Young Master wants to see you. Hurry up.”

I climbed out, closed the coffin, and ran with her toward Fuwelle’s room.

That woman never called me for anything good—at least not from my perspective.

I opened her door. She was wearing a Western-style academic uniform, tilting her head with a sinister smile.

“What’s up?”

“Come with me to school tomorrow.”

“Eh?! You’re already centuries old—do you still need to go to school? Shouldn’t you have finished studying long ago?”

“Who said that? There’s still Plant Magic, Gem Charging… I won’t even mention it, it gives me a headache. Tomorrow, you and Xiao Linlin will accompany me.”

“We don’t understand, either… Right, Xiao Linlin!”

I tried to appeal to her, but Xiao Linlin’s face lit up with joy, looking genuinely excited.

“Don’t count on Xiao Linlin to speak for you. She accompanied me for a whole semester last year~ And she did quite well.”

Xiao Linlin nodded. She never read books at school normally—why would she be so eager to study here?

“Mmm…”

“So you’ll come with us.”

“But vampires have a different schedule from you. How do you attend class during the day?”

“That’s why you should go to sleep right now. I’ll wake you up tomorrow morning.”

“Eh! Well… just one day, right?”

“Can’t say. Anyway, you’re coming with me—I’ll guarantee your safety.”

I stared at her, full of question marks. Then she turned to Xiao Linlin.

“Get a school uniform, modify it so she can wear it. Then give her a large cloak and a black parasol. Hmm…”

“Yes, Young Master.”

So I followed Xiao Linlin out the door, utterly confused, walking together down the hallway.

“Um… Is the Young Master serious? What if I get exposed to the sun and…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make you a very suitable uniform, and you won’t get sunburned.”

“What’s with that? People in this country really hate vampires. Unlike you, vampires look exactly like normal people in the daytime—they’re easily recognized.”

“Don’t worry! Go to sleep. I still have to make your clothes, so I’ll head off first.”

“Wait, I have one more question. Why do you like the school in this world so much? Normally, getting you to study is like climbing to the sky.”

She leaned against her door, smiling foolishly at me.

“Actually, I was dragged along by the Young Master before. But since you’re coming this time, I’m really happy. The last time we went to class together was a year ago. I loved those days when we studied together, so please, come with me. I’ll protect you.”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. So she really treasured those times, huh? But for me, it was only about a month ago.

“I hope you don’t fall asleep in class.”
