“My nose is not fine.”2
“… My apologies! D-do… I smell?”
His face flushed in an instant.
“No. I was just joking.”
“…”
His face flushed redder.1
Gosh. It was refreshing to interact with a man who was completely different from the straightforward Knox. Looking at the blushing man, I slightly smiled as I tilted my head.1
“Knox will probably wake up around midnight.”
It’s not that the Knox at night doesn’t sleep at all. He usually gets up in the period between nightfall and the wee hours of the morning to check on me before falling back to sleep. He could also wake up even earlier. When he couldn’t sleep he would take a walk, but that was rare.
“Ah, yes. I understand. Commander sleeps a lot. This is just one of the side effects of the curse.”
“I see. Why don’t you talk to him? He probably won’t remember anything… But you never know what could change if you try talking to him.”1
That was what I said, but my words stopped halfway. It was because of the man who looked at me with his big teary eyes.
“Thank you… for caring. Just like you said, the Commander doesn’t remember me.”
“Yes? Yeah… It’s a shame but you can do it.”
This was a situation I could never imagine myself being in. All I could do was to get up from my seat and go console him.
Afterwards, I searched through the closet for large-sized clothes. These were originally made for the Knox at night but they could also fit Gray.
Knox had always been half-naked anyways so I wasn’t sure if giving these to him would help at all.1
“Wash up and change into these clothes… Stop crying.”1
Sniff.5
“Alright…”1
Gray rubbed the tip of his chin with the back of his hands before receiving the clothes I was giving him.
Knox was using my room, so the only rooms left were the living room and the storage room. Gray nodded his head fervently and said that he was alright with the storage room. Before turning to leave to his room, Gray said.
“Uhm, miss? Sorry for disturbing you but there’s something I’m curious about.”
As if he had something to say, he blinked his eyes eagerly.
“Y-You seemed quite calm.”
“About what?”
“No. It’s nothing… I’m sure that the issue with our Commander’s identity and the fact that I suddenly turned up must not be something that is completely impossible to believe…”
“That’s true…”
I tilted my head.
“But the fact that he is a child during the day and a young man at night is not something that happens to people commonly, right?”
“… Why?”
“My sister might wake up. Be quiet as if we are sleeping.”
I held his shoulder gently before whispering in his ear. When he looked at me, he flinched. I had never taken the initiative to touch him before so both Knox and I were feeling awkward.
“This person’s name is Gray.”
I sat with him on the sofa before whispering.
“He knew Knox before you lost your memories. He also knows your real name. He probably knows you very well.”
“… What?”
“Aren’t you curious? What kind of person you were? What’s your real name?”
Actually, I was really hoping he could reply ‘Yes’. I hoped that he could follow Gray back to where everyone was missing him.
Why was I still nervously swallowing my saliva while looking at the quiet Knox? I bent my head a little.
“Hm, if it were me, I’d be very curious.”
“I’m not.”
“Huh?”
“I’m saying that I’m not even a little curious.”
Knox said as he removed my hand from his shoulder and held it in his own.
“Will you send me away once you know everything about me?”
“I never said that.”
“No but you’re talking as if you would.”1
“Going back to where you’re from is not a bad thing.”
“Then why don’t you tell me where you think I should be?”
This is what happened when you ask such questions to someone without his memories.
I closed my eyes tightly before opening them again. We didn’t make any eye contact, but I could still feel his gaze.
“… I don’t think I have a right to decide for you.”
“I don’t want to go.”
His firm arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to his breath. Even if I wasn’t facing him, I could feel his gaze. I didn’t think I should raise my head. I sealed my lips when I felt him tighten his grip on my hands.
“I’m not going anywhere. Amy, just let me stay by your side.”
“…”1
“Do I need to ask for permission for doing this too?”
There was something I still couldn’t make out after 3 months. What does he feel whenever he sees me? The Knox in this timeline. The male lead.12
T/N: ISN’T IT OBVIOUS URGHHHHHHHH7
Even after he says his piece, I could never tell what he was feeling or the reasons behind his actions.2
What will happen to the story if my sister manages to survive without dying? Has Knox started liking me instead of my sister like in the novel? How could I be so sure? That’s why I couldn’t give him a straight answer.1
Looking at the forest, I saw a bird flying up from the trees. At the same time, a huge hawk passed by and met the bird before snatching it away.3
I didn’t know why. But strangely, I had a bad feeling about this.
