Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 1217: A Talk With Sofia



As I saw Alma and Emily run behind Sofia, I sighed, my family quickly walked to my side. Well, those in the classroom.

"I guess I should go as well," said Nia. "It is a bit of a pickle, but they're just girls in love, I am sure they'll understand if we talk to them nicely."

"I'll go with you then," said Partner. "I'm not so sure that girl can keep herself calm."

"Let me go too," Lucifer said.

"I also have to go, this is all because of my fault," Jonathan sighed. "I should have rejected her myself instead of making you do all the excuses. It's my responsibility."

"Of course I'm going as well, please don't forget about me," Emeraldine smiled gently. "Everyone... Ugh, thanks, let's go then," I nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There wasn't anything else I could do but chase after her and try to explain things to her properly.

But seeing what they believe we are, with what we actually are.

Is there really the possibility of making up?

To them, we'll sound selfish and stupid at the end, because they know a completely different person than what we actually are.

Perhaps, maybe if I could somehow project my memories into their minds, would it be possible for them to realize we aren't exactly the person they think we are?

But then comes the possibility that they'll be even more afraid of the truth, of this loop... And that those they considered friends are long gone, replaced by complete strangers.

Very completed and deep stuff, this trial is literally killing me.

Or more like, killing my heart!

It's like watching a drama on TV, but I'm forced into the protagonist body without any of their previous memories!

"Man, if this had continued as just a battle academy fantasy, it would have been so much easier..." I sighed, running towards Emily and Alma with my friends. "Girls! Did you find her?"

"She went to the bathroom..." Alma sighed, gasping for air. "Hahh... I'm tired..."

"Should we go see- Ack!" Emily gasped as she noticed the army of friends behind me.

Lucifer, Jonathan, Emeraldine, Nia, and Partner.

Yeah I just bought five people with me!

"So many people?! Maria, this is a private thing..." Emily sighed.

"It's fine, they're also my friends..." I said. "At least Jonathan should come with us."

"But it's a girl's bathroom!" Alma said. "It would be a violation of the guidelines if he goes inside..."

"Hmm, then let's go bring her outside," I said.

I walked into the bathroom with Alma and Emily, and quickly reached the area where she was. "Ahh... Sniff..."

She was crying.

I've only met this girl for two days now.

I shouldn't really feel bad at all either.

I mean, I just met her, and she has been kind of a cunt!

But... somehow, I felt bad.

Why do I feel bad?

It feels as if something might be influencing me.

This world?

Or...

The Character that I am replacing?

As selfish and spoiled as she was, Sofia still looked like a decent person.

I mean, she worked towards helping her friends and all.

And it was clear she cared about Alma and Emily to an extent...

And perhaps even a bit for the character I've replaced.

It's just that... things happened like that.

What can I do to solve this problem?

The problem is that Sofia is sad and destroyed because the man she likes loves someone else and has been in a relationship with her friend.

Damn, putting it like that it does sounds fucking terrible.

But the thing is, I am not this character, and Jonathan isn't that character either.

To let her do whatever she wants would imply she would continue flirting with my boyfriend.

And that's not something I can accept, trial or whatever.

Therefore, I just told her the truth.

But that ended hurting her because doesn't have the context that I have.

That we come from another world and aren't the people she thinks we are.

Therefore, I have to clarify this problem, and tell her that those people are... fucking dead.

Damn! Is there a way to solve this without traumatizing her even more?

Hmmm...

Wait, the Friendship Shop!

"Sofia? Are you there?"

Alma called for her.

"Leave me alone..."

Sofia responded bitterly.

"Please don't cry, Sof! We love you!"

Emily called for her.

"Y-You're our friend..."

Alma nodded.

"If you were my friend you would have told me that Maria was with Jonathan!"

"B-But we didn't know that!"

"Seriously, we didn't!"

I had already told them what happened, they accepted it faster than I imagined, maybe

because they already had a strong bond with my character.

However, they still felt a bit angry at me, but not enough to act like Sofia.

"Sofia, it's true, they didn't know. I kept this a secret. I knew it would hurt you, and I didn't

want to hurt you."

"Then why did you even do it?!"

"Because love... is not something that can be decided by just saying a man or a woman is

yours."

"But..."

"I know it hurts; I seriously know. Through my childhood, I went through one too many

rejections."

Remembering my past, my childhood, my high school years back in Earth.

I seriously went through a lot of shit.

I was the nerdy, dumb girl of the classroom.

The popular gals bullied me for being weird and quirky.

I only had male friends because of my hobbies, such as liking anime and games...

But.

Whenever I fell with one of them, and I confessed...

I would always face rejection.

Sometimes it was cold, and we never were friends again.

Other times, it was with an apologetic expression, and we continued being friends despite

that.

People that say that women have it easy are wrong.

Only beautiful women have it easy!

I was an ugly bitch, and I didn't take care of my appearance either so...

Yeah, no dude ever saw me as a girl.

When I started taking care of myself, it was a bit too late, and I was already in college.

And that's when... when I died.

Then there's my life as Maria in Yggdrasil, completely different, thanks to the wishes I asked

for.

I was born in a fancy family, I was beautiful, and I had strong magic powers.

It was an ideal life!

Yet... even then, everything ended with me being beheaded.
