Chapter 95: I’ll help you.

Realizing she had suddenly been consumed by a bad mood, Yukina quickly shook her head, dismissing the dark thoughts in her mind.

She sighed softly, then lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling light.

A lot had happened today.

The cumulative shock of all these scattered events was no less than the shock she received a few days ago when her brother, who had just returned from another world, took her flying on a broomstick across the night sky of Silver City.

She truly couldn’t believe that her best friend would turn a dagger against her.

But thanks to her brother’s help, Xiaoxi’s misunderstanding was resolved smoothly.

And although the mastermind who induced Xiaoxi’s corruption was still at large, she believed that her triumphant brother would eventually deal with that guy effortlessly.

However, after experiencing this incident, Yukina had to accept one thing the existence of superpowers in her real world.

She had heard Xiaoxi say that the superpower “Pain Diffusion” was given to her by that mastermind.

To casually bestow a superpower upon an emotionally unstable young girl and have her cause trouble—given his methods, people with superpowers must already be widespread in this world.

‘No wonder that guy this morning was…’

Thinking this, Yukina suddenly remembered something extremely important. Her eyes widened in shock, and she sat up straight in bed.

‘Crap, how did I forget that?’

That guy this morning said that if she didn’t join their organization, her brother would have died in vain. She didn’t awaken her superpower as he had hoped, which surprised him.

Initially, she hadn’t taken the matter seriously. But since the existence of superpowers in this world has been confirmed, it means the Esper organization behind that guy very likely exists.

The organization discovered her potential for a superpower and sent that guy to approach her. She ignored him, so the organization orchestrated the car accident targeting her brother to forcibly induce her superpower awakening.

That guy said that by experiencing a deeply unforgettable separation of life and death, she would immediately awaken her superpower and become a powerful Esper.

But that guy didn’t know that she only experienced a brief few minutes of life-and-death separation before her brother, who had reincarnated as a silver-haired little witch, re-entered her life.

The fact that her persecuted brother reincarnated as the strongest witch in the other world and returned is probably something they wouldn’t have guessed in a million years.

Of course, that was no longer the main point.

The more important issue now was if her deduction was correct, and her brother didn’t accidentally die in a car crash, but was sacrificed as an offering to awaken her superpower…

She would never forgive them!

However, with her own ability, making that Esper organization pay a price would be a very difficult task.

Although she really wanted to solve this on her own, as the victim of the car accident, her brother also deserved to know the truth.

‘Well, I’ll just let my brother deal with those people and return the favor with double the pain.’

Thinking this, Yukina climbed out of bed, left her room, pushed open the door of the room opposite, and prepared to tell Charlotte the truth about her brother’s deliberate death.

“Brother, I—”

However, the moment the door was pushed open just enough for her arm to fit through, a large number of colorful, transparent windows silently erupted from the room and slammed into her face.

“Aiyayayaya—”

Yukina was completely caught off guard and landed on the floor.

When Yukina recovered, she saw that her body was covered in various transparent images, like homework collected by a class representative.

Not only that, but through the small gap in the door, she could see that the entire room was similarly covered in these transparent images.

And the protagonist in all these images was, without a doubt, Charlotte alone.

Charlotte in every period was represented, even her infancy, although her body size hadn’t fluctuated much since she started learning magic.

“Eh?”

Seeing this, Yukina was completely bewildered. She seriously wondered if she had knocked over Charlotte’s treasured photo albums.

‘This is…’

Just then, Charlotte, who was searching through the memories in the room, noticed the commotion at the door. She walked to the door and opened it.

“Oh? Yukina? Why are you here? Even if the floor is clean, you shouldn’t sit directly on it. You’ll catch a cold.”

Seeing Yukina covered in her own memories, glaring at her with one eye, Charlotte looked surprised. She reached out to help Yukina up.

“That’s only because you were making too much noise, brother!”

Yukina frowned, pointing at the images covering the entire room. She complained to her worrisome brother.

“Brother, why are you displaying all these memories one by one like a photo album?”

“Oh, just as a precaution,” Charlotte replied nonchalantly.

“As a precaution?”

“Although that blue-haired man kept saying he was going to avenge a twenty-year-old grudge, to be safe, I decided to go through my memories and see if I’ve encountered a guy like that before. Maybe that guy was driven insane by a past beating, and it’s only natural that he’d forget how many years have passed.”

Even after listening to Charlotte’s explanation, Yukina still looked displeased.

“But it’s the middle of the night now. You’re spending time doing this. Will you be able to wake up on time tomorrow?”

However, the moment Yukina finished her complaint, she immediately regretted it.

After all, Charlotte was doing this to find the mastermind from the other world as soon as possible. Yukina’s complaint clearly showed she didn’t grasp the severity of the situation.

Realizing this, Yukina immediately added another sentence.

“Even if this is important, it’ll take you a long time to search alone, won’t it!”

“Mhm… That’s true. After all, I’ve been through so much. Finding that person, who may not even exist, in this vast river of memories is like searching for a needle in the ocean.” Charlotte nodded lazily in agreement.

“Then let me help you search!” Yukina said, walking into Charlotte’s room and scanning all the images covering the room.

“Eh? You want to help me, Yukina?” Charlotte was slightly surprised.

Given Yukina’s personality, she should have sighed, feeling mentally exhausted, instead of showing such willingness to get involved.

“What’s with that surprised look? Did you think I would heartlessly go back to sleep and leave you to shoulder everything after hearing what you just said?” Yukina stared at Charlotte with a look of contempt.

“Yukina, you’re the best! You really are my best sister!” Charlotte was overjoyed.

She leaned toward Yukina, trying to take the opportunity to give her a hug.

But Yukina seemed to have sensed Charlotte’s intention and raised her hand, blocking Charlotte’s soft, pink face.

“Brother, stop wasting time! Tell me how to find that guy in this endless river of your memories!”
