Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 42: Impossible

Lucy's face was visibly upset, she could only grumble when she heard the absurd popping of the witch. His tissue-thin patience had reached its limit. It seems that Lucy wants to go to this place, just how does she get back upstairs, while this basement alone has no doors?

Samantha was just speechless to see Lucy who could not believe her words and chose to go around looking for where the exit was. But with a sharp voice accompanied by a piercing sentence that managed to stop Lucy's movement for a moment.

“Nona Raflesa. You should sit sweet first.” pinta woman is accompanied by a flat tone.

Degs..

Raf-

Rafflesa?

The gaze of the witch woman looked sharp to the point that her back which was now turned back felt hot turbulence. Now he forced to look at the source of the voice with a look of disbelief, in the end he came back to him to sit back and talk to him.

It seemed like he felt that Samantha had stopped joking. No, did he say everything right from the beginning?

“You— no, how can you know my former name?” ask the girl not to believe it.

“It.. You say it in your heart.” said Samantha accompanied by a grin with an innocent look.

…

Crick..

Krikka..

Doengs..

“What?! Ah stupidly I made a fool of a witch like you!” gerrutu annoyed. His teeth bully the omens he is truly wrathful. Can the witch play with her feelings like this?

But it is true that he cannot be blamed, because the talent of the witch is to penetrate the contents of someone's heart.

Right after he said the sentence, “I felt the turmoil of my magic energy from Miss's body. It seems like someone asked me to turn the clock for Miss.” Surely Lucy looks wrathful with that baseless statement.

Then his heart grumbled like ‘I am Rafflesa! Where can someone turn his time around for me that has nothing to do with Lucy!’

“Don't carelessly talk, I can see the future you~” you should be accompanied by a friendly smile. In reality, Lucy only thought that the witch was good at acting in such a serious situation right now.

“Then it is, although not often.I can also!” his chatter while pulling back his cup of tea that began to feel cold and tasteless.

“Lantas if anyone turns his time around for Lucy, who is it?” asked the blond girl with a sharp look.

“Then.. how can that someone has turned his time around for me? As you have heard from my heart. I am just someone who came to replace the miserable life of Lucy!” he tried to deny all the words that came out of Samantha's mouth.

The silver-blended girl seemed to shake her head, before long the corner of her lips curled up with a strange smile, “As I said before, you look foreign to this body, yet the smell of your soul remains the same, Miss. You should be able to conclude this by yourself, right?” ask the woman who now looks ugly.

Degs..

Ah.. so that means our souls are really the same? Does that make any sense? Can I just trust that?

“As for Miss to believe this or not. In reality I saw a flow of magic belonging to me in Miss's body, and the magic was a time player magic.” the pressure was flat as if to show that he did not play around with his words.

Now the woman is awakening, before long she steps closer to the bookshelf and looks like she's looking for an important book there, while Lucy just chuckles.

“Miss witch's skills are really a lot yes, if you can't see the past. Isn't the past what will happen in the future? Then why?” ask the woman who looks desperate. Many things that he had taken for granted to accept the strange reality that was happening in this world.

But this was different, would he easily accept all the jokes that Smantha had thrown at him? That's not possible.

“That's something different, Miss little witch. You could say this is a different life. Because if there is a small change after the time is reversed, then a small change alone really has an impact on the future. So, the future that I see today is not necessarily the same as what has happened in the past.” he explained accompanied by closed eyes. He seems to have a hard time explaining things like this to Lucy. Moreover, this can be fatal.

“For the rest of you, Miss, I cannot tell anyone about the present future, because it is considered to have violated the rules that will destroy destiny.” he continued who now approached Lucy while giving a book with a shabby black cover.

Not yet had time to think about the book, Lucy just wanted to ask what she wanted to ask next. “Lantas, what should I do? Do you know about the dark wizard who will rise it—” he said which is now cut just like that.

“I know you're worried, but calm down Miss. I'll help you in the future, so don't worry that I'm going to leak this to anyone. Because I feel responsible for Miss who has returned to the past because of me.”, he said, who now tightly grasps Lucy's wrist.

I don't know what, the witch lady was feeling uneasy. But many times that the time has rotated because of the woman's magic, Lucy can only be silent without believing all her words.

The book is now in the hands of Lucy, she does not know what purpose Samantha gave this shabby book to her. But all the woman did was put her index finger in front of her lips, a sign that she did not need to ask him such a thing.

“It looks like the fireworks show is about to start, Miss should go somewhere else.” her word that now holds Lucy's wrist. Accompanied by the snap of a finger like before, they had returned up there, where the antique shop was located.

Right, he thought his conversation with Samantha had taken a long time. Flona and the Knight Tuab may have come here to find her whereabouts. In the end, Lucy plans to leave and say goodbye to him first. But suddenly the strange woman blocked his departure with a bunch of strange questions.

“Isn't there another destination that Miss hasn't got at the moment?” asking the woman is like giving a shitty riddle.

Suddenly his eyes were now turned to a bright red object.
