Volume 1 - CH 1.2

I, Shiraishi Godo, had memories of my previous life.

“It isn’t entirely impossible that I’m also here, but you still couldn’t believe it, could you?”

Shiina, the witch, smiled as she said this.

Immediately after, a silver staff appeared in her hand.

Of course, the witch originally didn’t have a staff that was as tall as she was in her hand, and there was not enough space in her uniform to hide it. In other words, the staff suddenly appeared out of thin air.

A phenomenon that clearly defied the laws of physics.

It was none other than the technique that manipulated the unknown.

“Well, proving it to you is easy, after all, there are no images in this world.”

In this world, instead of magic, a technological system called science dominated the world. I’ve never seen a wizard in this world either. Even if they were hiding in the background of society, they would definitely be rare. Also, the average person only thought of magic as a mere myth.

“You can use magic in this world?”

“Just a little bit. The reason why magic is not well spread in this world is because there is only a small amount of mana here. Just gathering enough mana to manipulate is great enough effort already, so it’s no wonder that nobody ever noticed its existence. Even I, the strongest witch, have to gather mana for years if I were to use more powerful magic. It’s inconvenient since back in the other world, I could gather that much mana overnight”

She said, her voice filled with discontent.

So that was the reason why she used less flashy magic like making a staff appear out of thin air. After all, if this girl was the same as in her previous life, she would at least try to change the whole school into something outrageous to show off her magic.

“I see…”

…Unlike the witch, I couldn’t use magic, neither back when I was still in the other world nor now.

I simply had no talent for it. Though, I didn’t need to use magic to begin with.

“Shiina Mai. You are the reincarnation of the witch, Cerise. It’s a fact that I refused to believe at first, but with what you have shown me, I couldn’t help but believe it…”

Then I asked her.

“What the hell is going on?”

I was aware that this was a very vague question.

But I had no choice because I had no idea what was going on.

“We both crossed through another world, reincarnated then reunited like it was some kind of fate? This can’t be a coincidence. Did you set this up? Was my reincarnation into this world your doing?”

“…Right… Where should I start?”

The witch put her hand over her mouth and pondered.

She didn’t show any reluctance, so she probably wondered how to start her explanation.

“Ah…”

“Uh, well, the class should have started already, but it can’t be helped considering the circumstances.”

While I wasn’t fond of skipping classes, this matter is more important than them.

“…Witch? Is something wrong?”

For some reason, the witch’s face turned pale.

“No, no… it’s nothing. You’re right, it can’t be helped, can it? This is more important after all.”

The witch smiled.

…Could it be… she never actually skipped classes before?

The witch who plunged the world into a disaster, THE Cerise Flores?
