I left the manor's bathhouse while my clothes fully changed. I easily heard Natalie screaming through the room, it was horrendous, but I managed to slip outside of their loud conversation while White was casually relaxing inside the warm-hearted pool,
I abandoned my rotten smelled all-black outfit and instead, wore something new. Today, I was dressed just like any of the town's young girls, a simple white dress. Just be looking in the mirror tells that I looked like a commoner than an adventurer.
I got changed and head out, telling the other servants that they need to wash my clothes off, the all-black outfit was my signature attire from my adventures, since I'm an silver-ranked adventurer as well as the vice-leader of the guild, they accepted it and gave the rotting-smell-cloth to them. Their face was disgusted by the foul scent
I left the doors of the Flower Manor, hoping to see the scenery of the clear blue sky. There, a breeze of cold air swaying from a distance, my newly applied hair gush from the wind, the flower fields of Flower Manor.
"Ah, outside of the manor is relaxing. Finally, some peace and quiet"
As I sat at the Manor's benches, I saw one of the guildmembers over the far distance in the flower fields, it was one of the men's who participated in the Raid of Castle Libra. Over a far distance, Luke, Luck, Carin and Leonhard were seen training and partaking exercises in the fields. I decided to check it out
"Luke, your footwork's messy again, Focus on your stance"
"Sure, Carin"
I met Carin during the Castle Libra raid, one of the reinforcements that White had deployed, he has a muscular apperance, much like Leonhard's muscle build, he wields a mace that is twice the size of his head.
As I moved closer, I saw their training from their swordsmanship. It slid apart smoothly, between the flower of tulips and roses from the floor. The boys saw me approaching…
"Greetings, Lady Roxy!"
"Welcome boys, what are you doing?"
"Uh, were training, Roxy"
As expected, they are obviously training to increase their stats. Normally, to increase a person stats, they need to train hard and excersice throughly, such as strength for push-ups or stamina for agility. But my blood curse surpasses all of that, every blood I consume will give me permanent stats boosts, needing a that I would not doing any exercises. Only draining blood is my specialty
"Lady Roxy, nice dress you have"
"Thank you, Luck!"
Luck seemed timid as always, ever since I joined the guild, he is the first member I encountered, he seemed shocked upon learning that I am a silver-ranked adventurer. He showed kind affection through me
As they were excersice over the field of flowers. I saw a familiar tree that reminds me of her hometown in Earth, I'd spotted a tree off to the side of the flower fields as the members walked past. It was a stout, short tree with pink, circle-shaped flowers growing from all of its branches.
"A tree with pink flowers, huh? That reminds me of the cherry blossoms back in my past life" I muttered quietly
"Pink flowers? Do you mean flower-viewing, Roxy?" Leonhard said
Luke, Luck, Leonhard and Carin all turned curiosity to me. I pointed out the tree that reminded me of my past-life, my life as Roxanne Albatross
"Wait, let me explain… Roxy, do you have a past life. Tell me everything you know" Carin said
I then went on to explain to everyone about my past life, they say there on the ground, cross-legged on the thin grass whilst listening through my story
"During my vacation on Japan, cherry blossoms were one of the representative plants of the country and that is the tradition for everyone to go see them bloom in spring"
The guild members were fascinated from my story about my past life. I didn't lie to their face, I straight up told the truth about my reincarnation, living a double life and my real identity from Earth. I didn't tell them about my Blood Curse or any Human Skills I possess
"Lady Roxy, how did you end up here? In the land of Andromeda?"
"Well, it's a long story… I can't tell you now"
"Tell us, Lady Roxy… I want to learn more about your previous life"
Desperate to learn more about my backstory. I was left no choice but to tell about my previous life, right from the very beginning
"In my past life, My name is Roxanne Albatross, I was just a simple and normal girl, living a normal life in Earth. With my one and only lover, Marcel De Castro, his real full name"
There I continued talking until the part where I reincarnated
"In February 14 2025, Me and my lover, Marcel, crossed the road as usual as we're heading to school. Suddenly, a speeding van ran a red light and barreled toward us, in that split second, I pushed Marcel out of the way. Marking my death in the real world and a sudden reincarnation to the land of Andromeda"
As I finished my truthful storytelling, their faces we're shocked, like a child discovered something new about my backstory. At their cross-legged posture, one of the members raised their hands, it was no other than Luck.
"Lady Roxy, how is your new life going? Do you miss your old life?"
As Luck said that, my brain was filled with information inside my head, like a computer malfunctioning until it breaks, that's the state I've been to. Now I will tell my fellow guildmembers about my past life
"Maybe, I do miss my past life? I miss my family ever since I reincarnated in this world. I miss both my parents, my younger sister and especially, Marcel. I do want to return to my world"
It's been 18 years since I lived in this new fantasy world. Ever since I was born, I think of this as a dream, a simulation. No! It wasn't, I saw my dead body crushed into pieces by a speeding van, No! It wasn't a dream, it is real. Everything is real!
As seems that I am overwhelmed from this tragedy from on. Plasma interrupted from my mind and told a chilling voice
"Roxy, you think too much. Try to calm down"
As Plasma interrupts me, I calmed down for a moment. Sensing what is going on, I was outside of a manor, telling my past life from one of the guildmembers. There I regained consciousness
"Lady Roxy, what's going on, you stopped from a moment there"
Seeing their faces eerily confused and their head tilted sideways, I decided to leave them for a moment, Clearing my head filled with my mental state and thoughts
"Lady Roxy, where are you going? You didn't finished my question"
"Sorry Luck, but I have to breathe some fresh air for a moment"
After my excuse, I left the flower garden, walking past towards them like they are complete strangers, then proceed to the Flower Manor. While I left, the boys continued practicing their swordsmanship and continuing their training outside
I opened the main door through the manor and questions Plasma about my condition
"Plasma, what happened to me just now?"
"Roxy, you been overthinking for too long, your thoughts are filled with your past-life experiences. Please forget the past and move on"
As he suggests, I do have stressed out through my old-life. Plasma is just an AI assistant that was gifted by the blood curse, of course he knew my previous life since he lives inside my head, I jolted in fear
"Roxy, forget your old life… This is not a dream, your facing reality just now. Remember your previous and old life, filled with mistakes and lost opportunities. Now, this is the time you resolve through your mistakes, fill some kind of patchhole from your mistakes and create opportunities you didn't had on your previous life. This is your opportunity, Roxy, take it"
As I heard Plasma motivation, my heart dropped to its limit. He answers it throughly, abandoning my old life seems to be my only option, it is my only choice to resolve my mistakes. Despite being an AI assistant, Plasma is a heartwarming therapy that lives inside my head
"Plasma, although you have a cocky attitude, you have a good heart. I believe you that"
"Yes Roxy, another hero saves the day. It is the mighty Plasma once again"
Plasma is still boastful as always, but he had a good heart. An ai assistant never gives up on his host. As I advances through the massive hallway of Flower Manor, I sensed that the manor is empty, the sound of wind is I heard of. Not a single sight of servants and members on the way,
As my suspicion arose, I decided to investigate
