I've had memories of my past lives since I was born.
But that wasn't the point.
When I started to remember, I realized that I had memories of my previous life, but because I was born with a high amount of magic power, I couldn't control it and was plagued by a constitution that caused me to activate magic like a seizure. Gradually, people around me became afraid of me, and only a limited number of people, including maidens, were allowed to approach me.
It was my brother who rescued me when I was starting to hate myself for being so creepy.
From the beginning, he was the one person who didn't mind me being around him. And because he had the same light attribute, which was rare, he immediately noticed the effects of magic and patiently helped me control my power. How could I not love a brother like that?
That's why I was happy to see that I had the same face as my brother. Everyone complimented me on my resemblance. I was very proud of that.
Even when my brother was busy and I couldn't see him, I would look in the mirror and see the same face. It was a natural habit for me to look in the mirror.
And suddenly I realized.
I know this face.
It's my face, so it's natural that I know it. But it's not. I realize I know it as someone else's face.
I whisper my name.
"...... Philine Erna von Rosenhain.
I know her. She's the sister of my favorite player (Roy-sama) in the otome game I've been playing.
In order to get a happy ending, you need to meet and talk to Princess Philine, not Roy-sama herself, depending on your choice. She's my second favorite support character after Roy-sama because she can tell you things that you can't hear from Roy-sama herself.
Here's your star: ......!
You realize that you have been reincarnated into the world of Dein einziger Sternchen, the otome game that you played in your previous life. But how about the fact that you notice your own reflection in the mirror?
Well... That would make Philine fall in love with Brother Roy.
She talks to herself in the hand mirror she is holding.
Although Philine is a princess and rarely leaves the castle, she appears in your own little star, Dein einziger Sternchen, or Kimi-Sei, even though it is set at the Royal Academy of Magic. He worries about his brother Roy and comes to check on him regularly. In my previous life, I thought it was only natural that my brother was handsome, but when I think about it, it's strange that my brother and sister adore him that much, no matter how close they are. I'm not a target of the attack, so I didn't have any information about her aptitude or magic power, but I guess it's understandable if my brother was the only one who was kind to me since I didn't have many people who understood me.
What did you do to the mirror, Miss Filene?
As I nodded my head in agreement, Therese, my maid of honor, approached me suspiciously. She has also been by my side since I was born. When she scolds me, I am afraid, but I know she really cares about me.
"Therese, you know what? I just realized something!
Therese tilted her head slightly as she approached her, happy that she had noticed something.
What did you notice?
"I'm a princess!
What did you notice?" "I was a princess!" I told her excitedly, and this time she tilted her head seriously. You can tell the degree of her doubt by the depth of her wrinkles.
"I see.
So you see.
I don't care about Therese, I'll continue with my report. I can't help but want you to hear the decision I've just made.
I'm going to make you happy!
"...... Isn't it the other way around?
Therese suggests that men are usually the ones who make women happy, even if they are immediate family members. I won't point out the unconnected evidence. It's all connected in my mind, but it's always nice to hear an off-the-cuff remark from Therese.
"No problem, I'll pay back my brother for making me happy!
You made me happy in my past life and now, too. So I'll pay him back.
I don't know if the world will go on as planned in the game until the time you enter the school. Until then, we don't know much about Philine's life because she is a sub character. Since I'm not a character who interferes with all the routes, I'll probably only be able to judge which route she's in by listening to the situation.
So, for now, I'll just cheer for my brother's happiness.
When I was enthusiastic about my future goals, Therese let out a sigh that sounded like disgust.
...... You are thinking a bit short-sightedly, but I think the idea itself is wonderful.
"I'm not very good at thinking about difficult things.
I'm not very good at thinking about difficult things.
I'm complimenting you for being Philine.
"If you're going to compliment me, you should do it better.
I asked him to correct his compliment, but he simply brushed it off.
After that, I made up my mind to make my brother happy, but it was still the same old routine.
He has been trying to get Roy and his other brother, Klaus, to get along, but that's just because he doesn't want the two brothers to get into trouble. The only thing I can do is to interfere by inviting my brother to tea, even though he's too young to work hard.
It's plain.
As a princess, I thought I'd be able to do something more flamboyant, but as a princess, I have to practice my manners every day and spend my free time having tea with my brothers. It's a shame. I was expecting to be able to do more, but to my surprise, I was not able to do so.
I was so disappointed that I tried various things in between to see what I could do with my magic power to practice control. Since the light attribute itself was rare, there were no materials in the literature on compound magic combining the light and wind attributes, so I had to search for it myself.
When I was able to make a holographic phone call in the process of searching for combined magic, I was excited because it was science fiction, but as soon as I showed it to Therese and my brother, they forbade me to say anything else, and I sat in a triangle for several hours sulking.
The more I found ways to use my magic, the more I was restricted from going outside the castle. Perhaps it was because she knew the joy of playing outside from her memories of her previous life, or perhaps it was simply the rebellion of being restricted in her range of activities, but she was depressed because she wanted to go outside.
It was around this time that I started to hear a name that I knew from the game from my brother.
The Ernsts' garden is so beautiful, I wish Phil could see it. No wonder Miss Ludia is so proud of it.
No wonder Miss Ludia is so proud of it. So, what are you wearing today, Miss Ludia?
She looked like a flower fairy in her white dress, with the color of the roses shifting toward the hem.
He seemed to think that since I was a girl, I would be interested in fashion, and he smiled when I asked him. But the more I asked, the more I found myself tilting my head inwardly, unlike the Ludia I knew from the game.
In a still from her childhood, Ludia was wearing a bright red dress, and her personal clothing in the game was also mostly aggressive red. However, from the beginning, the clothes she wears according to her brother are all pale shades that are far from aggressive. In the first place, the reminiscence still was supposed to be an episode of ...... where Roy and Ludia meet, and when she falls down at a dance, Roy reaches out to her and follows her, and love begins to grow.
But the actual dress was blue, and my brother praised her for being the best dancer instead of falling.
I don't understand.
The girl you know from your planet and the girl you hear from your brother are so different that I can't imagine who she is.
I can't imagine what she's like." "By the way, Brother Roy ...... seems to be enjoying himself lately.
I am happy that you are enjoying yourself even though I am not doing anything, and I am frustrated that I cannot do anything about it. I feel like it's been happening since I met Ludia, so she might be the reason.
Is that so? Yeah, ......, I guess so. I guess it's because I have good friends.
My brother's radiant smile is dazzling. As a blood relative, I can't be your friend no matter what. On the one hand, I felt happy for him, but on the other hand, I felt a little lonely because the affirmation of my family was not enough to make my brother happy.
And apart from that feeling, I was curious.
I'm glad to hear that. I would like to meet Master Lydia someday.
I wonder what she is like in real life. If she is so different from the game, is she a reincarnated person like myself? If so, I'll have someone to talk to about my past life. Even if not, I'm curious about my brother's possible fiancée.
Wanting to see her has also increased my desire to go out.
I guess that's why. The reason I couldn't resist the temptation at that time was ......
I'm stuck. ......
I cowered in a corner of the castle town. I really want to put my hands on the ground, but I can't because my dress and hands will get dirty.
I had heard that my brother was going to visit the castle, so I went to his study to see him off and found his cloak lying haphazardly on the sofa. Since there was no one there, I put it on secretly and was surprised when my brother and his attendant came into the study and started talking without seeming to notice me.
I suppose I can't blame them for being infatuated with an effect like a cloak of invisibility. It was the first time for me to experience the effect of a magical item in person, so I was inevitably excited. I was so amused that I followed my brother.
It was a miscalculation that we got separated.
There were more people than I expected.
What if I get lost and no one finds me?
No, we'll be fine until the game. But if I don't take this off now, no one will notice. ......
If the princess herself disappears, there will be a huge search, but since she is good at hide-and-seek in the castle, it will be a while before anyone notices her absence. When I first came to the castle town, I was excited to see so many things for the first time, but now I'm at rock bottom. It's hard to feel that I deserve everything.
Are you okay?
came a voice from behind me. If I hadn't been talking to myself, who was wearing a cloak of invisibility, this voice would have been talking to the wall.
I thought my heart would jump out of my chest because I didn't expect to be noticed.
Wondering if it was really talking to me, I turned around and saw a slightly older boy who looked like he could be anywhere, and he was indeed making eye contact with me.
Who is it?
I'm sorry to worry you, but I don't know him at all. I don't know how he found me in the first place, when others didn't notice me.
"Are you Leo's sister?
When you are confused by a name you don't know, he corrects you with his brother's name and asks you again, surprising you. Indeed, if you abbreviate your brother's middle name, it's Leo.
As if he sensed my suspicion, he revealed his identity as a member of the Duke of Ernst's family and explained why he was related to my brother. He patted me on the head and said, "It's okay.
It's okay. I'll take you to my brother.
I'll see you again. I was so relieved to see him again that I felt like crying. It was all the more so because the possibility of never seeing my family again had crossed my mind, even for a moment.
Somehow I managed to hold back my tears and let the boy guide me on his back as he urged. I imitated my brother and gave him my middle name.
His name was Isak, and he was a strange boy who spoke normally even though he knew the princess and her identity. Perhaps his status was too far removed for a commoner to realize. He was the first person to tell me that I looked like him except for my face.
I had thought that the only thing I could say with confidence that I was related to my brother was my face, so even though I thought he was strange, I was happy to hear that assessment. Unlike my wise brother, I acted on my senses, and I was afraid that if I didn't look like him, he wouldn't trust me as a brother or sister.
The vibrations and body heat from being carried on my back made me feel uneasily secure.
In a previous life, when I was small, I followed my brother because I didn't want to be left out, and I became so exhausted that I couldn't walk. I cried and cried, and my brother carried me home.
The memories of my previous life are somewhat nostalgic when I recall them, even though I know they are not mine.
I wonder if that's why. Is that why the tone of my previous life came out in my mouth without my knowing it?
"You sound just like Yuka.
He laughed at me.
A name that should have been unfamiliar to me. A name that should have been unfamiliar to me, but it was so familiar.
My thoughts pause.
I hear my name called. From a previous life.
"............ Taichi?
"What? Are you sure it's Yuka?
The boy stopped and then called me again. I thought it was an illusion of a memory from a previous life, but I was wrong.
When he realized that it was real, he was confused by the situation.
I don't know him at all, but he was my brother in a previous life.
No, if Taichi had become one of the targets, I would have either laughed or complained that he should be in another body. If Taichi is someone who doesn't even appear in Kimi Hoshi, how should I react?
I thought about it in a roundabout way, but all I could come up with was the feeling that it was a loss to talk to him in a stranger's manner.
Taichi was a stupid brother. He fought with his stubborn father all the time, did stupid things with his friends, and because he was stupid, he got into an accident and passed away. I don't think it's normal to come home and see your mother drop the phone, like in most dramas. Moreover, I didn't know that she was sick until later. ......
And you're so stupid to apologize after being reincarnated.
You're a helpless brother. I can't tell you how stupid he is.
You're nothing like your brother Roy.
Yes, brother Roy. My brother now is Roy.
If Taichi, or Izak, who's not even a mobster, is doing whatever he wants, then we'll do whatever we want.
When I met up with my brother and parted ways with Isak, I declared war on him, who seemed to be on the side of the rival girls. He declared war on me as well, which gave me the will to fight. It was a big miscalculation for my brother to suspect that I was getting along with Isak. ......
"Brother Roy.
What is it? Phil.
On the carriage ride home, I talked to my brother while eating a cookie he gave me as a gift. The cookies had a simple taste and reminded me of the okara cookies I had eaten to the point of boredom in a previous life.
I know you won't do this, but I'm telling you. I want you to know that I'm here for you if you need anything.
What's going on? Suddenly.
It's not sudden. I know. I know you're planning to do something.
"Plotting?
He blinds his honey-colored eyes and then smiles. You can see that he is not going to talk to you just by smiling, and he turns away from you with a predictable reaction.
I'm sure you're not strong enough to ask me, your sister, for advice anyway!
Older brothers do not consult their younger sisters. Taichi was no different. I know that.
But I'll worry about it on my own!
I'll worry about it myself!" When he pointed his finger at her and declared, she was surprised and started laughing with her stomach.
"Hahaha, you're no match for Phil.
"I'm serious!
When I got angry, he replied that he was serious, but it was a lie.
