Chapter 219: Not Lily?
The Lily who entered the room had a somehow different atmosphere. Since Stevie died she had not shown a smile that could truly be called a smile, yet now she was smiling. And with her whole face at that!"Lily, what’s wrong? Do you need something?"
Even I thought I had asked something stupid, yet because Lily was eerie nothing else came to mind.
"It’s me, me. Don’t you understand?"
"’Me’ is Lily, right?"
"Wrong! The form is Big Sister Lily, but the heart is not Big Sister Lily — it’s Stevie. Stevie Nix!"
Lily pointed at herself and said she was Stevie, yet is it true?
"It’s a little hard to believe..."
"I see, of course, hehehe. I can’t believe it either, but it happened."
She touched her hair and twirled it around — a habit of Stevie’s when she was in a good mood. I cannot think Lily would deliberately do that.
"What happened? Don’t tell me you took over Lily’s body?"
"That’s so mean-sounding! I only borrowed it a little! You see, when Big Sister Lily is alone at night she keeps crying, and tonight she fell asleep just like that, her heart completely exhausted, so I tried to encourage her, saying ’Do your best!’ to Big Sister Lily’s heart. Then, pon! I slipped inside Big Sister Lily. And when I tried moving the body it moved, so I thought I’d try going to Robby-sama’s place, and I came!"
"No, ’I came’..."
Now that she says it, her hair looks somewhat bluer? A boyish impression is visible. The chest remains Lily’s, though.
"Robby-sama, you didn’t think something strange, did you?"
Stevie (provisional) glared at me.
"No no no, I didn’t think anything."
"Is that so? Could it be that my coming is a bother? Is a dead soul entering another person’s body and visiting creepy?"
Uuun, when asked that way it is exactly so. In the first place I myself am a soul that came from another world and entered the body of a prince who was on the verge of death. Therefore it is not strange for a soul to enter the body of someone who has lived in a close environment in the same world, even if not on the verge of death. Yeah, let’s think that!
"Stevie? Asking Lily ’Stevie’ feels somehow strange."
"Yes, what is it?"
Stevie? made a "what?" face. Did Stevie not make faces like that?
"In the present state, is it completely only Stevie’s consciousness? Is Lily’s consciousness sleeping or something?"
