Kazuki POV
"It fucking hurts, I hate her!!!" she shouted
After that, she paused for a while to inspect her room
"That's a good gathering and all, but... It's kind of difficult to move with all the ropes that you tied me with for some unknown reason"
She plays the idiot great, we can tell that much because she scripted her reaction
We stayed silent and after some seconds she decided to speak
"Fine... I know what happened..."
"What's your feelings after this whole situation that you caused?"
My bait worked
She formed a vein on her forehead
"What the fuck do you mean, Kazuki!? My whole existence was highjacked!!! Furthermore, this whole situation is not entirely my own, don't get ahead of yourself mongrel!!!"
I slapped her instinctively and everyone was surprised except Kiyotaka
The weird thing is that she had no reaction after my slap
She ignored her pain from her wounds too
HiMii-chan has a thinking expression
After some time she spoke up
"Kazuki-chan... I have good news and bad news"
I frowned and she continued after she saw my reaction
"Let's start with the good news, this is indeed Rei"
"Then why!!!??? her personality is like that? She called me a mongrel and that's completely new for her"
"And now the bad news... she's a fragment"
"What do you mean?" Kiyotaka asked this time because he found this whole thing interesting
"Kazuki-chan asked me the wrong question before. Her soul is merged with a god's, she was never possessed like you speculated before but rather switched out"
"We know that something supernatural is going on... but how being a fragment affects her personality?" I asked with some impatience in my voice
"There was a rule book a long time ago before the gods died. That rule stated that you can't create a fragment because you affect your personality and your fragment's. This means that you give different characteristics to each other until your personalities balance out"
Everyone inside the room widened their eyes after her insightful explanation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Inside Rei's head
"The Chinese Loli is right. There is also another reason, the low chances for it to work. The success rate is 0.001%"
"You can't make another duplicate easily. So that's the reason... you are so overly attached on me"
"Who knows"
"I see. I give you parts of my chuuni personality and my overall silliness, you give me parts of your cold apathetic personality and your speech patterns"
"Something like that, we will discover our changes together"
"We are each other's curse hehehe"
"You can say that again"
--------------------------------------------------------------
"After we switched, I saw her memories and the method she used" Rei said sheepishly
"My suspicions were on point"
She confirmed HiMii-chan's information
Ichichan put a mirror in front of her and after that she said
"You look like an evil version of hers~"
After she watched her reflection
"That makes me a Kei Alter"
Me and HiMii-chan started laughing
Kei had a frown on her face
"What do you mean, Rechan?"
"I'm a more edgy version of Kei's"
"That's actually true~"
Kyo-chan was silent
I gave a signal for her to speak
"Rei-chan, I want a serious answer to my next question"
Rei's face became serious and her eyes had a different look on them. It's not our usual threatening cold and dark eyes, something is different. It's like she's staring directly inside her soul
She nodded
"You knew about me before you came here, am I right?"
She sighed
"Yes, because I'm a reincarnation"
"What do you mean, Rei-chan???"
"I am a reincarnation and I have my previous memories. In my old world, you were part of a light novel and I know almost everything"
Kyo-chan widened her eyes in disbelief after she heard that
The rest of us already knew about it
After she watched her reaction she continued
"Your plan at the beginning of the year was for you to persuade Horikita and check for yourself, if she remembers the incident"
She was extremely shocked after what she said aligned with her original plan
"After that you helped the class to increase your social status and you watched some of Kiyotaka's true abilities while doing so"
She stopped for a second and Kyo-chan was like a statue
"After countless schemes like betrayal and manipulation. You messed with the wrong opponent and you got expelled really fast after you revealed the incident"
She lied at the end but most of this information is real
After some minutes of silence, she made up her mind and decided to speak to all of us
"After I saw what happened on the rooftop... it seems that I messed up terribly with Ayanokōji-kun. I came to this school to free myself from my past and I don't want to get myself expelled. You helped me from the first moment you met me and I tried to repay the favor multiple times but you stubbornly refused everytime. You knew about me beforehand and you did everything within your power to give me a good ending. I thought of it a lot of times and you are my first real friend, if you do something like this again, I'll hit your head extremely hard"
Afterwards, she started crying
I went to comfort her and surprisingly Kei joined me. She wants to forget her past too
"I made a deal with her and she will not use tactics of that caliber anymore, at least not life threatening ones"
"We will see about that" I said with caution just in case
"You'll see with my future actions" She said with confidence
We nodded at her answer
"Can you undo these ropes? It's extremely hard to move"
We started to walk outside her room after she said that
"Untie me you fucking idiots!!!"
After she shouted that, we closed her door
--------------------------------------------------------------
"I would talk with you in spirit form, buuuuuut a certain someone hid inside your room two hidden cameras and three recorders. I don't want for them to spy a loud monologue of yours"
"Since when???"
"Oh, Kazuki was waiting for you inside your room after you lost the first time against Kiyotaka"
"I see, I'll take care of them and then I'll buy the same thing Kiyotaka bought at the main timeline"
"I noticed them because he always knew my night time moves"
"You used my body without permission before... bitchy witch!!!"
"Opsies, my bad~"
"Can you untie me?"
"Just wait for the next day"
"Fine..."

Author's note
I was pretty busy the last couple of days
I got my second vaccine shot (Pfizer), some family members came to visit us and FGO Lostbelt 6 got completely released
My free time is over but I'll try to update the story as often as I can. I have a lot of ideas and I can't wait to test them out
