After a whole rough day, finally, the night had fallen. Since there was nothing scheduled after dinner, everyone went back to the dorm.
Somehow, I managed to avoid the 'troubles' that I got on the previous playthrough. With this, I could advance to the next day. Feeling that I was one step closer to finish this game made a smirk appeared on my face.
"Did something good happened today, Lady Edelrose?" asked Griselda.
"Well, something like that,"
I gave her a vague answer. If she was asking that, it must be shown on my face just how happy I was.
"Why don't you drop the formality? Just call me Clarissa,"
"Eh? But.."
"I call you by name but you call me by my family name,"
After I said that, Griselda went silent. She put her hand on her chin and looked like in deep thinking. I was not so sure why she had to think about that so much. It was just about calling the given name.
It was in my mind for some time already, but I just did not have the right timing to tell her that up until now. The truth was, I did not feel comfortable being called with unfamiliar name and title. It was just shivering in some ways.
"If you insist...uh, Clarissa," said Griselda, still a little reluctant.
"Good. Then, I am going to sleep. Good night, Griselda,"
"Good night..."
I climbed to my bed and shut my eyes. My mood was a little too good, so I was afraid that I would not drift to the dream world so soon. 448Please respect copyright.PENANARmUxCphJFe
It was alright. My plan went smoothly and I did not get into trouble. Tomorrow would surely come this time. Quickly, quickly. I needed to fall asleep as soon as possible and ended this day.
My consciousness was leaving me little by little. I was falling asleep. Yes, let's sleep. That way, today would end. The next time I opened my eyes, it would be tomorrow. While I prefer to be back to my world when I opened my eyes, seeing tomorrow would not be so bad either if I was still trapped inside this world.
That was what I wished for. But, once again, my hope was crushed. When I opened my eyes, I was once again standing in front of the academy's gate. I did not get to see tomorrow. Rather, I did get to see yesterday again.
I was back on the starting line. That meant, once again, I got game over. I was so irritated and confused that I could not help but to scream.
"WHYYY???"
