Chapter 61.2
Stage 2-30. Curse
From that moment, my memories were gone.
When I awoke, strange machines were embedded in my chest and stomach.
Thus began my life as a “vessel” for transferring souls under Sensei’s direction.
The first order was to change my pronoun to “I.” To avoid being beaten, I obeyed.
Next, they filled my body with machines to keep it eternally young. To avoid being beaten, I obeyed.
Days of undergoing experiments as a candidate for a “vessel” followed.
Sensei often called me trash or a failure but never disposed of me like the others.
I think it’s because I was the most obedient.
I didn’t cry, didn’t scream, didn’t resist.
The pain was terrifying, so I discarded all my emotions.
Sensei was hailed as a hero who saved the Kingdom of Lambdave from a demon attack.
The king shaking hands with him in photos was a stranger.
The first time I brewed tea, Sensei called it “so-so.”
I studied hard to make better tea.
But I was never praised again.
Being told my expressionless face was creepy, I learned always to wear the same smile.
When called creepy, I was beaten.
But I wasn’t disposed of.
Abandoning what made me Reina was my means of survival.
My existence’s purpose shifted entirely for Sensei.
I ate for Sensei. I studied for Sensei. I played the role of a disciple for Sensei.
For Sensei, for Sensei, for Sensei……
Until Sensei found another “vessel” to replace me.
