The day flies by fast and I'm exhausted. All I did was sit in class and take notes.

Well, okay. I also had to look at Alex's earlier ones to make sense of them.

But it's only the fourth day.

It shouldn't be this much, but my inner clock got used to that medieval fantasy life.

I want physical activities, long walks, Orcks, and a primitive lifestyle. This is too fast for me now.

"Come on, you've been there for a month, don't be so bummed out." Alex laughs, but she gets it. She has such a cute laugh. Did mine sound this cute while I was in her body?

It can't be her looks alone, it must be something genetic, or magical. Magically-genetic.

It doesn't even register, but these hours in class must be the longest we spent together until now.

If only I could focus on that fact more, but I have to get myself up to speed.

Every earlier shock seems like nothing once we set out to grab a meal at the cafeteria.

That's where I died.

No. Okay. I got transported and evaporated.

I'm still alive since I'm here, but this is a different body.

It looks the same, and I'm still not a fan, even if a Goddess shaped it with her hands.

Right. Thinking about it this way, that's true. A literal deity made this body only for me.

And it feels different than before. Sturdier, stronger. Well, she made it from granite, so it should be.

If I fell off the staircase now, the ground would break before me. But let's not test that.

"Should we go somewhere else?" She notices my slight distress, and I want to hug her.

It's a shame we aren't that close, even if my life turned upside down when I met her a month ago.

"Yeah, this place freaks me out a bit." I nod regardless.

"There are some vending machines that way."

It can be anything, as long as I'm with her. I almost forgot that it was love at first sight.

First love at first sight even.

Like in those cringy romance novels I always dropped after a few pages.

"This is my favorite." She shoves a can in my face and drags me down to Earth.

Also what the hell? This thing is steaming hot.

I'd expect these cans to be ice cold, but this isn't cola.

"Canned soup? I didn't know they sell these here." It feels like I've been away for decades, and not for a month. No, sorry. Again, it's been three days here and thirty in her world.

"Yeah, I wish I could take home some of these high-tech stuff, but transfer only goes one way."

"High-tech, like some artificial soup?" I can't help but laugh. But that reminds me. "So you can bring anything from your world, but nothing on the way back?"

We talked about this already, but it has been some time.

She nods, slurping on her hot soup and I pry open mine too.

It's okay, but very spicy, especially after the Orc's food.

They had plenty of meat that this thing never had but no spices.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

It must be healthier, though not in the doses I ate them.

It's still a mystery how Alexandra kept that thin and sexy shape.

Her stomach had an insane capacity and a huge appetite too. My digestion was fast too, I was a long and thin girl after all, but I'd pass out halfway through a meal she ate on average.

I mean, the meals I ate in her body. Could this homunculus work the same?

Ah, but that was her real body, the Beastfolk one. The human form I'm looking at now is the copy.

I'm bummed out completely.

My brain is foggy and there is no System to drag me back to my senses.

Oh, no, I'm not missing that.

I would not exchange a silent minute with Alex for a year with the System, even if she made her too. I giggle at the thought, and almost choke on the canned soup.

The Goddess raises an eyebrow.

At least she can't read my mind, not in my world anyway.

Here we are, side by side and I fantasize about her all day, while we only spoke a few words at a time.

"Yeah, don't mind me, a bit lost in thought."

"Hmm, and what were you thinking about?" She asks, freaking me out a bit, especially after she adds. "I meant to ask, you know, to learn more about you."

"Oh?" About me? She wanted to learn more about me. Hell, I wanted to know everything about her. I never even considered that she might want to know stuff about me. "Like what?"

"I don't know. I tried to dive into your memories — I hope you don't mind, I needed some info. But it was all a blur, and almost nothing about yourself." She explains, and I gulp.

It's not like I didn't sneak a peak into her memories, but I'm worried what she might found in mine. There shouldn't be anything bad. Right? No, wait. She said there wasn't anything. Period.

"What do you mean by that?" I should have memories though. I had eighteen — although boring — years in this world.

"Well, I know you love your little sister, even if she's a weirdo." She starts, and I already blush.

"She's special for sure. But we're family. I guess. She's nothing like me though. I mean she's much cooler, beautiful, and smart."

"Oh, I didn't mean it that way. I um, you know... I never had one."

Right. Her memories were about herself because she never had anyone to care that much about. My memories are about the few people I love. It makes sense now.

"I looked into your memories too, but only a little," I confess, blushing even harder. What kind of malfunctioning body did she make me? My heart beats like crazy too.

"It's not a fun story, huh?"

I shake my head. We settle down on a bench out on the campus. It still looks the same as the first time I saw it, but again, it was only three days ago.

"Well, if you have questions, I'm all ears." The offer makes me blush the hardest, but I had to get it out there. "I can't wait to learn more about you too."
