Intro
I couldn't protect you.
I saw you being attacked by the villain, yet I left you behind. I saved the villagers first.
Your single life versus the lives of many villagers. Without even a moment's hesitation, I chose to save the villagers.
By the time I finished saving them and rushed back, you were no longer breathing.
That's why I swore a vow.
"...In the next life, I will love you."
And so, I was reborn with my memories. I never hesitated in searching for you.
While walking through the city, thinking of nothing in particular...
There you were, with that same smile I could never mistake, no matter how many times I saw it.
...Ah.
You didn't remember anything. But that's okay.
For someone like me, who failed to protect you back then, I might not even be allowed to seek forgiveness.
—In this life, I will be with you.
Back then, I could only watch you from afar, and I couldn't protect you.
Villain and Noble. I thought status didn't matter, but I couldn't tell you how I felt until the very end.
"...There's no reason to live in a world without you."
Having decided that, I slit my own throat with a knife and was reborn.
Reborn as your childhood friend from the start, I'm at a distance where I can laugh and touch you as if it's the most natural thing in the world.
—And yet.
...Why are you here again?
The moment I saw Noel, rage boiled up inside me.
The stolen time. The feelings that never reached.
The cowardly hero who was closest to them but couldn't protect them.
I won't give them up in this life.
Today, too, I stand by your side, acting the part of the kind childhood friend.
—So.
In this life, let me make you mine alone.
