The Yandere Villainess’s Past Life Was That of a Lonely Woman. After Reflecting and Stopping Her Stalking of Her Fiancé, He Somehow Started Approaching Her Instead. - Chapter 25

The next day, I took a day off from school. Since I had hit the back of my head pretty hard, I thought I should at least have it checked.

The doctor who came to examine me placed his hand over my head for a few seconds and then said, “You’re fine,” before leaving.

I could tell he had used magic, but still, wasn’t that a bit too brief?

I wanted him to take a closer look, but I was afraid of being labeled a complainer, so I kept quiet.

Even so, I explained, “It feels like my memories and personality have changed a little.”

He only replied, “If it’s not interfering with your daily life, then it’s fine. Let’s just observe for now.”

It felt like a passive response, but it was still better than someone insisting passionately that we must immediately “fix” me, so I accepted it.

By the next morning, the handsome dark spirit had already been fully recognized by everyone in the Radiata household as the family’s eldest son. He went off to school without me.

Hydra apparently has the ability to make anyone who sees him instantly recognize a false identity as if it were the truth.

In other words, he wasn’t really my brother, but anyone who saw him now would recognize Hydra as Licorice’s younger brother.

It made me think of a youkai like Nurarihyon.

I asked him what would happen if someone who didn’t know me saw him, or how it would work in written communication, but he brushed me off with, “That’s personal information.”

Once he said that, I couldn’t press any further. Call me timid if you want, but I didn’t want to seem intrusive.

Hydra looked kind and gentle and could say sweet things effortlessly, but he didn’t like people getting too close.

His declaration that he’d throw someone away once they fell for him made him seem like a sleazy host type.

I had never been to a host club in my past life, so that was just my impression from what I knew.

A host’s charm and kindness are probably part of their effort to make clients spend more money.

So then, what kind of “payment” was Hydra expecting from me?

I pondered that as time passed surprisingly quickly.

I cleaned my room, thought about ways to style my hair without actually cutting it, and had some food.

The meal suited my taste perfectly, and the ingredients were high-quality, so I was quite satisfied.

I made sure to tell the servants I encountered that since I had hit my head when I fell, my personality might seem a little different.

I also mentioned that the doctor had told me to take it easy for now.

That should make it easier for them to accept any strange behavior from me. My father was away from home, so I decided to inform him later.

According to the butler, he was attending a conference on magical studies and then going on a short vacation with other members.

That was quite active behavior for Licorice’s father.

I hesitated about informing him of my injury but decided it could wait until after his trip. I could read the room, after all.

I might have hit my head, but my life wasn’t in danger, and there was no need to rush the annulment of my engagement.

By evening, Hydra returned home. We had dinner together and chatted for a bit. I told him I planned to go back to school tomorrow.

After that, I took a bath, returned to my room, and got into bed.

As I thought about how Lucius hadn’t come to visit or apologize, I felt a faint pang of loneliness.

I wasn’t sure if that feeling came from the lingering emotions of the original Licorice.
