Sorry for the late chapter. I have a fever (until now)
Chapter 8
“HELP! ARIA!” I woke up because of Vincent. Stop shouting will ya? *yawn* I’ll stretch my arm-
“FUCK! IT HURTS!!!” Oh, I forgot. I got my bones smashed by a darkbear.... Am I dying?
“Don’t move! It’ll worsen your injuries!” Vincent said without looking at me. He’s panicking more than me, THE ONE WHO’S INJURED. I can’t feel my feet. If I’m going to be hospitalize my whole life in this world, might as well end my life now.
“Oh my god! What happened to Haruka?!” Aria inspected me.
“I’ll explain later! First we need to make sure that her life is not in danger anymore.” Vincent really has the hots for me... I feel sorry for him because I’m not really into men.
“Maria! Get all the healers here immediately!” The pain is killing me. I saw Shirley coming towards me and she started casting heal and another new spell. A group of people holding magical staffs arrived and they all said in unison “Oh no! Our Goddess is dying!” Please stop calling me “goddess”! My wounds hurt more when I hear it.
“Do everything to save our goddess!” One of the men shouted and I saw something which terrifying. His little beast is awake! I looked at the other men and all of their rods are standing up. I raised my left hand even if it freaking hurts and I touched Vincent’s face. He looked at me and I signaled him that I’m going to whisper something.
“T-te-tell Aria t-to g-get only female h-healers.... P-ple-please..” Phew! That wasn’t so hard! Vincent whispered it to Aria.
“O-ok. Does she have a problem with them?” Aria asked.
“L-loo-look at their crotch....” The two looked and Aria’s face became red while Vincent hid me from the view of the drooling men.
“This.... I’ll call all the female healers quickly! Get Haruka to her room!” Aria said and then she ran.
Vincent carried me to my room. Where did Grey and Kathy go? Vincent slowly put me on the bed and he grabbed a chair while Shirley is still healing me. He stared at me so, I did the same. He looks really worried.
“When I saw you earlier not moving , I couldn’t move at all.... I can’t hear anything and all I see is your body covered with blood.” Vincent said with a low voice. Now I really feel guilty using him. Maybe I should tell him that I’m a man? How should I tell him that I’m a man? Ah!
“I have something to tell you Vincent.” He grabbed my hand and tightly squeezed it. DON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION! JUST BECAUSE I CAN’T MOVE DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU CAN HOLD MY HAND!
“What is it?” He asked.
“I’m a man in my past life and I’m reincarnated in this world by a god so I’m not the girl you think I am.” There I told him! Let’s see his priceless reaction to what I just said.
“It’s ok. I went through that experience. When I was young, I used think that I was a dragon in my past life.” This.... This guy, he doesn’t believe me.
“I’m not joking Vincent. I’m not from this world. Do you know a god named Regulus?” Yeah. That fucking god who turned me into a voluptuous, gorgeous, blonde girl.
“Regulus? He’s the god of mischief in this world. So you’re saying that he reincarnated you as a girl?” Yeah! You dumbass!
“Yeah. I’m a man in past life so, sorry. I know you like me but I can’t. I just can’t.” Vincent made this face where his eyes suddenly got covered in shadow or something. Seriously, how can they do that? I can’t do that! Please teach me sensei!
“That doesn’t matter.” What?
“I won’t stop. Maybe what you said is true. That you’re a man in your past life but you’re a girl right now. I’m going to do everything to make you fall for me.” No. No. Noooo! Please!
I looked at Shirley and she is smirking. Shirley help me! “This is the retribution for what you did to me..” She whispered. I”M SORRY! I’M SORRY! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE WITH VINCENT!
“I’ll go out and help Aria-nee to find the healers quickly!” Noooooo! DON’T LEAVE ME HERE! Shirley ran outside and she closed the door. I looked at Vincent and he’s staring at me. Oh god! Grey! Where the fuck are you?!
“Uhm, Uhm,” His face is getting closer. I can’t punch him. I don’t have the strength. Think! Think Hiroki! Ah!
“I’m going to be okay here alone so, please hel- mmmmm” HE KISSED ME. HE KISSED ME! MY FIRST KISS IS WITH A MAN! Huhu! WHY?! *sob* *sob* I didn’t do anything wrong for me to deserve this punishment... He slid in his tongue and he played with mine. This is a French kiss isn’t it? I can’t breath.. This feels good.. Wait. What did I just say? My mind is going blank...
“Haa.~” He separated his lips with mine.
“I promise I won’t let you get hurt anymore.” He said and he kissed my forehead. What’s this feeling... My heart is beating so fast... I can’t look at him in the eye. Bullshit. I can’t understand girls, including myself.
“Prepare yourself.... I’m going to beat the hell o-out of you...” He smiled. WHAT ARE YOU SMILING FOR?
“*chuckle* Yeah, yeah but after you recover okay?” Huuuuuuu! I’m gonna beat the shit out of him!
“Woohooo! Way to go Vincent! Ayyyieee!” The female healers, Aria and Shirley are at the door. Did they just saw what happened? Shirley must have calculated that this will happen. Grrrrr.
“T-thanks.” Vincent said while scratching the back of his head and he’s blushing!
“Haruka’s your face was really red as a tomato moments ago~” Aria teased me.
“I’ll go out now. Please heal her.” Vincent stood up and went straight out of the door without looking at me.
“Don’t worry! Your girlfriend is going to be fine!” GIRLFRIEND? OF WHO?
They started healing while Shirley suddenly whispered something to me “Did it feel good? The kiss with Vincent?” I glared at her while she chuckled.
“Haruka! Is she okay?!” Grey went in the room gasping for air and from his back I saw Kathy. *Evil Laugh*
“Kathy! Come here for a second! I’m going to whisper something to you.” I’m going to have my revenge on you Shirley..... Bwahahahaha!
She went near me “I saw Shirley flirting and Kissing girls moments ago when you were gone.” Kathy’s face suddenly turned into a murderous face. She dragged Shirley away.
“Wait! What did I do?! Ahhhhh!!! Help me!” And there, Shirley’s gone. The healers stopped for a moment but they continued again. I can’t forget about the kiss.... Argh!
After a few hours......
I can move now but it still hurts. I thanked the healers before they left. Aria remained in the room. She looked at Grey “Can you leave us alone Grey?” Aria asked and Grey didn’t have any choice but to leave. She closed the door and locked it. She took a chair and sat on it beside my bed.
“Hey Haruka... About Vincent.” What about Vincent?
“What is it? If it’s about the kiss, I already scheduled the day when I’ll beat the crap out of him.” Aria smiled.
“Vincent is a good man and a handsome one too!” So what?
“Get to the point Aria.” I know that she wants to say something.
“Do you like him?” Oh.... I know this! She likes Vincent so she will say “Don’t go near him again!” or something like that if I say yes.
“Yes but as a friend only.” Aria looked disappointed after what I said. She doesn’t like Vincent?
“I see... You know? You’re the second girl he fell in love with.” Second? Then where’s the first one?
“Who’s the first one?” I’m really curious.
“Her name is Erica Drevor. She looks exactly like you but you’re sexier I guess? She’s a cheerful person and she likes to help people. When Vincent first saw her, he immediately confessed to her and what do you think happened next?” a person who looks just like me. That’s cool! I have a twin!
“She rejected Vincent?” Well, they don’t even know each other so the girl would totally reject him.
“That’s right but Vincent refused to give up and he didn’t stop. Erica found this side of him cute and she eventually fell in love with him.” What happened to the girl? Where is she now? That’s the questions that circles around my mind right now.
“Where is this girl right now?” Aria looked up.
“She’s dead.” She’s dead? How?
“What happened?” I asked.
“There were people who were jealous of Vincent because he managed to make Erica fall for him. Many men tried to make Erica fall for them but they failed. These men took Erica and when Vincent heard this, he went straight to where the men took her..... But he was too late. He saw Erica lying on the ground naked and the men were laughing while naked too. His mind was filled with anger and he killed all the men. After that, he quickly looked at Erica. She was holding a knife and she stabbed herself. Vincent’s a paladin originally but after killing all of the men there, his class changed to dark paladin.” ..... I didn’t know Vincent experienced something like that....
“How did you know this all?” I need to know if she’s lying.
“I was there. I saw what happened. A man reported to me that he saw a group of men from the guild grabbed Erica somewhere. I went there and I was too late. The killing has begun.” Aria looked down. She smiled bitterly.
“After that day, Vincent became cold. Everyone in this guild called him “murderer” but me and Grey are the only one who understood him. When I first saw you, I thought that you’re Erica but I thought “That’s impossible because she’s dead.” I told Vincent about you and he was curious so he waited for you to come down.” Oh that’s when I first saw him.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
“.... Oh.” He likes me because I look exactly like the first girl he fell in love.
“I’ll leave now. Don’t do anything stupid okay? You need to rest for a week or two.” A week or two? That’s pretty long... Aria went out of the room and after a few minutes, Shirley came in and her clothes were tore apart. I won’t ask what happened to her. I already know.
“YOU! Do you see my clothes? You’re going to buy me a new one!” Shirley said angrily and she took a new t-shirt. I’ll check my stats right now.

Vincent's POV
"What did I do? *sigh* I kissed her without her permission.... but her lips were really soft...." I don't want her to think that I only like her because if her body.... I went out and I took a stroll around the city and I saw a cute dress. It's a red one. This must be good. I'll buy it and give it to her as a peace offering. I went in the store when I remembered something.
Flashback
“I’m a man in my past life and I’m reincarnated in this world by a god so I’m not the girl you think I am.” Haruka said and she looks serious. Maybe she's just saying things like this to make me think that she's crazy...
“It’s ok. I went through that experience. When I was young, I used think that I was a dragon in my past life.” It's true. I used to think that I was a dragon in my past life.
Flashback end
What if she doesn't like it? I need to think of something other than a dress.... I took a look at every store that women always visit but I didn't see anything that will make her happy because she's a man. I'm really tired so I'm going back but I'll visit her first. When I arrived at Haruka's room, the door was locked. I heard Haruka talking with someone so I've decided to eavesdrop.
"Do you like him?" That is Aria's voice!
'Yes but only as a friend." Haruka answered. What are they talking about?
"I see... You know? You’re the second girl he fell in love with.” These two are talking about me aren't they? So she only likes me as a friend huh? That kinda hurts.
I listened to the two and Aria told Haruka about Erica... Why did you have to tell her? I heard footsteps so I waited at the door. Aria went out and she saw me.
"V-Vincent! Haruka's okay now!" She started walking away avoiding eye contact.
"Why did you tell her?" I pulled her back and pushed her on the wall.
"She deserves to know Vincent!" I know but now is not the right time!
"I was going to tell her but not right now." *sigh* There's no need to angry about this. Haruka is going to know it some other day.
"It's okay Vincent. Just show her that you can make her fall for you." Aria tried to encourage me but it didn't work. You told her about Erica and I kissed her without her permission... I think she's really pissed right now.
Meanwhile
"Mmmm~ Not there~" Haruka mumbles in her sleep.
"Just what are you dreaming about?" Shirley asked.
Back to Vincent
"I don't know...." I hope she's not mad.
"Tell me Vincent. Do you like her because she looks like Erica?" Well, that's one of the reason at first but when I got to know her I fell for her.
"No. I like her because she's easy to talk with and she's a kind person. She's also kinda funny sometimes. I like her not because she looks like Erica." That's true.
"Hmmm, then tell her that. I'm sure she wants to know that. By the way can you let me go now? If someone sees us, this will start a rumor and you don't want that, do you?" I released her quickly. She's right! If someone saw us that would mean the end of my life...
"On your mission, did you see Alex? Did he say something for me?" Alex? I remember him saying "I'm gonna be late so tell Aria!'
"He said that he's going to be late." Aria pouted because of this.
"He's the leader of this guild and yet, he doesn't do any work..." Aria's really cute when she pouts.
"I'll be going now. I still have lots of paperwork to do." I guess I'll go and get some sleep.
--------------------------------------------
After a week.....
Haruka's POV
"At last! I can do things now without being guarded or anything!" I stood up and wore some decent clothes. Shirley's not here because Kathy took her somewhere yesterday. I went out of the room and I went straight to the dining room.
"Harold! The same as always! Give me a steak! I'm really starving!" Harold smiled and went into the kitchen. This man doesn't get a boner when he sees me so I like him. After a few minutes, I saw him carrying my food.
"Glad you're okay now Haruka-chan!" Harold placed the plate in front of me and I ate it like a beast.
"One more!" I tapped the table.
"Seems like you're pretty hungry huh?" Well yeah. Shirley left me and no one came into my room asking if I'm hungry so, I didn't ate anything yesterday. I finished after eating four plates of steak.
"Thanks Harold!" I need to find Shirley, Grey, Kathy and VINCENT so I went to Aria.
“Hey Aria! Do you know where my little sister is? Grey, Kathy and Vincent too.” Aria looks surprised to see me.
“Are you okay fine now?” Yeah I am don’t you see it?
“Yeah.”I smiled and I punched the wall which was destroyed. Wooopss! My bad!
“They’re doing a request. The four of them.” Say what?! They left me?! Those bastards!
“Where?” I glared at Aria and she got scared so she gave me their location. Oh, so they are raiding a bandit lair outside of the city? I went out of the city and as I was walking, I heard swords clashing with each other so I followed where the sound leads. I saw a lot of bandits fighting with Vincent and Grey while Kathy’s killing the bandits one by one without their comrades noticing and Shirley’s healing Grey and Vincent. I walked and each of my steps made loud noises. When they heard my footsteps, they all stopped fighting and looked at me. I showed them my beautiful smile while holding my sword.
“Hiiiiiii!” One of the bandits ran while the four idiots didn’t move. I dashed towards the running bandit and attacked him with the handle of my sword.
“Ahhhhh!!! An angry goddess has appeared!” Goddess again?! I defeated all of the bandits all by myself.
“We’re dead. I don’t want to die yet!” Grey started to panic while Vincent only stood up in a single place. Shirley was slowly walking away. You think I wouldn’t notice you?! I threw my sword at her.
“Noooooo! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Shirley ran to Kathy. So you think Kathy’s going to save you?
“Kathy grab her and bring her here.” Kathy grabbed Shirley.
“Please don’t do this to me baby!” Shirley pleaded. I gave her a nice blow on the head which knocked her out.
“Kathy, you can do anything you want with her.” Kathy smiled and carried Shirley on her shoulder.
“Now. Vincent come here.” Vincent stared at me and he slowly walked towards me.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked.
“Well, you’re still not fine so I thought we should do-“ I slapped him.
“Uhm, Guys?” Grey tried to butt in but he failed.
“Not about that! About Erica!” Wait.... Why did I do that? I turned around and there’s this pain in my heart. Fuck! Did I? No that’s not possible. I’m a man.
“Haruka?!” I heard him but I ignored him. I need to know what’s this feeling....
