“Lately, my body has become sensitive, and it throbs strangely at night,” the diary entry reads. “I need Majiram. I asked Wanda to give it to me every night. I had no choice, as my body ached incessantly. Without it, I’m not confident I could resist the urge to seduce someone and hide in the shadows of a bedroom or garden.”

“Why has my body become so lewd? Is it because of growth? What will happen to me from now on as I become more and more of an adult woman’s body?”

“Three days after starting to take Majiram, it works quite well. I’m relieved. I don’t want to become a lewd woman.”

“What should I do? I can’t control my lust which is indecent. Recently, our gardener Sherwood’s nephew,  has been coming over often. At first, it was just a light-hearted feeling. I was enjoying the atmosphere of love, but I’ve fallen for him a bit. The meaningful looks Reginald has given me over the past few days are not just my imagination. If he invites me, I might not be able to resist my curiosity.”

Majiram has been a part of my breakfast since I woke up as Richeli two years ago. Naturally.

So, taking Majiram should have been a daily habit for Richeli.

Until recently, when I stopped taking Majiram with Zinon, I never felt aroused, just as Patrick said.

But why? Was Richeli unable to control her lust? Even though it’s supposed to be fine for men to take it once a day? That’s impossible.

(There must be something else…)

In my mind, Richeli’s voice from the cloud resurfaces.

“Sometimes you should look back over my diary. You might have overlooked something.”

Is that what Richeli wanted to tell me?

“Why? Even though Luna Maria hasn’t chosen a target yet, only my lewd acts are proceeding according to the scenario, regardless of my will.”

“Yes, magic is like smoke or fragrance, which disappears immediately after it’s emitted.”

“That’s right… I’ve indeed been seen in compromising situations by the students at the academy. I can’t prove that I had no intention of being unfaithful.”

“Richeli, did you feel ashamed when you found out you were the villainess in an Otome game and that your lewd acts led you to be sent to a convent?”

“There’s no other way. It’s the most humiliating thing.”

Could it be that Richeli, too, acted not out of her own will?

“I also felt the same embarrassment. Compared to my shame, having your family see the contents of your smartphone and the aftermath of your masturbation on behalf of you was nothing.”

Could it be, just maybe,

The character Richeli in the Otome game Magic Eyes, who, out of jealousy towards the heroine, acts lewdly towards all the targets of conquest, is a villainess.

Based on what Kokoro and Yukine had told me, I had completely thought so.

But if that was different…

“Richeli? What’s wrong? We’re here,” Patrick, who had already gotten off the carriage, looks at me puzzled.

“What’s wrong? Sister, you’re pale. Are you feeling sick?” Julian rushes over to me with a surprised expression.

“No… I’m fine, just need to… use the restroom…” I felt nauseous and needed to sort things out, so I decided to use the restroom in the palace before arriving at the dazzlingly majestic royal palace.

I don’t know how I managed to get there through the dimly lit corridor, but I was standing blankly in the restroom the next thing I knew.

In front of the sound of water rushing from the faucet, I was shocked and must have stood there for a while. But it might have only been a few minutes.

I shake my head vigorously, and to rouse myself, I slide my hand into the stream of water.

The sensation of the cold water flowing makes my heart and mind feel rapidly cooler as if I’m waking up.

(Could it be…)

(Is it different?)

Could the Richeli of the Otome game have felt the same way?

Was I wrong?

As I heard a soft sound, I quickly came to my senses and looked up. As soon as I glanced at the mirror, I was so shocked that I thought my heart would stop.

“Ah!”

I shuddered, my heart pounding, and I continued to tremble as I stared at the figure reflected in the mirror.

“Lu, Lu,”

Luna Maria!

There was no one else around, and reflected in the mirror in front of me, in the same position as me, was Luna Maria.

I couldn’t believe it, thinking it was a dream, and blankly dropped my gaze to my chest. However, my view was confronted with the same white dress with emerald-green details as Luna’s reflection in the mirror, the flaxen curls swaying at my shoulders. I stared back at the mirror.

In the mirror, Luna, who had turned pale, was staring back at me with tears overflowing from her mint-green eyes.

I had turned… into Luna.

No, I don’t want to believe this.

“Zi… Zinon, Zinon!”

In my confusion, I dashed out of the restroom.

As I exited the restroom and stood in front of the palace door, I saw a figure about to leave and felt despair.

It was Richeli, wearing a beautiful blue dress gifted by Zinon, the same colour as her pale blue eyes.

Her long platinum blonde hair was loosely and beautifully arranged, and her smooth white shoulders and back were so attractive that they were mesmerizing.

It was me. It was me.

“Are you… Luna?”

As I extended my trembling fingers, tears streaming down my cheeks, I mustered up the courage to ask.

Then, narrowing her pink eyes, the person who looked like Richeli let out a small laugh.

She had a chillingly seductive smile; one I had never seen before. I don’t know this person.

“See you, Luna Maria.”

She said those words with a glossy smile directed at me and left for the dazzling light outside the door, heading towards the royal palace.

“Wait! …Luna!”

Desperate and about to collapse, I mustered all my strength to try and follow her.

Then, I was suddenly grabbed by my arm and pulled towards a firm chest.

Looking in that direction, I was even more startled.

“!!!”

“Luna, I’ve been looking for you. You’re coming with me.”

“Lu, Luciano…”

Captured by his hawk-coloured eyes and wine-red hair, I trembled in fear and confusion, unable to stand.

He pressed a sweet-smelling cloth tightly against my nose and mouth.

The dizzying scent of flowers made my vision gradually narrow.

Ah…

This scene… it had happened before…

(I’m sorry, Richeli…)

In my fading vision.

“You should also try a little harder, okay?”

I heard Richeli’s voice from above the clouds.
