Chapter 155 Taking advantage of a noble's emotions

Aevum Perpetua.

As expected from the cause of the rewinds she seemed exhausted.

No, her body moved elegantly and without issue, I noticed her exhaustion by how she indifferently acted at every person or event occurring around her as if she already knew what words are going to be told or occurrences that are going to happen.

How strange.

Time would always rewind atleast after three years passed, a period where Perpetua is going to graduate and follow to pursue her career or do whatever she wanted.

People say that to get closer to someone they should atleast share something, like a hobby or having the same problems can make two people feel closer despite how little that 'closeness' can be archieved.

For Perpetua...a person who can experience the same thing as her may probably cause a reaction out of her, though I cannot gurantee that is going to be a positive one.

There's no one that can do that, to my knowledge, other than me.

"This...Is that the true?"

"Yes! This lowly maid has been asked to choose a noble from a list..."

"And you choose me because you only know me."

"Miss Perpetua is a graceful and elegant lady who emits an aura of-"

"Enough..." Perpetua sighed in exasperation. "You need to take care of my daily needs for a month,right? Then let's start by tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" Yin radiantly smiled as she bowed before running off somewhere else.

"Haaa...This never happened...Was it because we met that day..? I should note myself to not go in that place the moment I rewind..." Once again, Perpetua sighed. Remembering the positive and bright smile of the maid, Perpetua shook her head. "There was a time where I was like that too..."

The next morning Perpetua almost had an heart attack. If it wasn't for the delicious smell of the breakfast the maid cooked she might've already kicked out Yin.

"Please...I beg you to not do that in the future. I thought you were an assassin after my life."

"Miss, are you perhaps worried about assassins? Worry not, this maid will resolve such an issue." Watching Perpetua, Deva smiled.

Maybe, because of the overly positive maid or the energy she was giving off, Perpetua just sighed and allowed the maid to do whatever she wanted.

Despite being buck naked Perpetua wasn't in the slightest flustered and didn't say any other words as Yin properly dressed her up before guiding her to the table.

After that, the two passed an uneventful day.

However, it was just the beginning.

Day after day Yin helped and aided Perpetua in every aspect of her daily life, from morning to the next one and in an instant more than a month passed.

"That wasn't too bad. I really miss her." Giving a small smile, Perpetua woke up in her room, however, this time there wans't the appearence of Yin nor her usual bright smile.

"What..? Did I say that...? Me...?" Widening her eyes in disbelief, Perpetua uttered.

Hastily dressing up, Perpetua left her room in a hurry. An emotion buried many rewinds ago seemed to resurface once again. It...bothered her...It was an emotion she erased in order to not feel too sad or emotional towards someone...it was in order to not become completely insane or shallowed by her rewinds.

She didn't care of the gazes of the other students or what they said to her.

Seeing the back of a rather familiar maid, Perpetua sped up, not giving too much attention to her surroundings.

"Yin!" It was so unbearable for Perpetua that she raised her voice. Her eyes solely focused on the now crimson eyes of the maid.

"Huh?"

However.

Her vision rapidly shifted. And as that happened the usual bright and cheerful voice of her maid changed to an horrified one.

"No-!" It slightly pained Perpetua's heart hearing such thing.

However her scream halted immediately together with everthing around her.

A rewind was occurring more earlier than any other rewind. Since just more than a month just passed since the previous rewind, the time of passing from the present to the past didn't occur rapidly but instead showed every moment Perpetua passed time with Yin. Memories that will soon disappear once again.

-Haaa.

Despite that, it didn't quench the emotion raging inside her. However, after waking up in her classroom like usual in after every rewind, Perpetua didn't leave the the place and instead she remained in her seat with her head buried between her arms.

She thought about the place they first met. She thought about the loving smile she would usually do everytime she woke up. The warmth of being cared without any useless thoughts about death and yet it seemed that her carelessness in thinking that she wouldn't die during her academy years caused her very death.

One by one, her classmates left the classroom leaving Perpetua alone in her own thoughts. And those very thoughts were interrupted by a loud slam a the door.

The person who opened the door so loudly and so strongly didn't give Perpetua to turn her head before a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her.

"Perpetua! Perpetua! Are you okay!? I...I saw you falling and...and...I was so worried!" For Perpetua whose a certain emotion was still raging inside her the situation was overwhelming. Especially when she felt something warm on her cheek.

"Yin...Just let me go."

"No! I'm not going to! Perpetua despite being perfect in everything she really is sometimes quite clumsy. I'm not going to let that clumsiness cause her harm ever again!"

Tears fell and soaked the clothes of Perpetua.

"We just know each other for a month a here we are with you crying like I just died...eh?" As if something important just passed through her mind Perpetua turned her head to Yin observing her carefully.

A vague hope appeared and at the same time thousands of doubts appeared to sink that little hope.

"You..." Perpetua paused for a moment. "...are immune to my rewind...?"
