Chapter 5: What Are Your Names, You Two?
The light stopped glowing, and I was transported back to the mansion. Not too long after, the same violet lights came and stopped.
"So, what did she say?" 'Blue' asked curiously.
"Something about light and dark girl, I guess." I said with uncertainty. "And... THE TWO OF YOU ARE MY KNIGHTS?!"
"Hmmm... I guess you could say that..." 'Red' mused. "And you are the princess we are tasked to protect."
"Why you---" I tried containing my embarrassment. Here we go again...
"Pfft... AHAHAHAHAHA!!" 'Blue' burst into laughter. "You're starting to get red Yumi-chan!"
"N-no, I AM NOT!!"
"Is that so?" 'Red' asked, trying to hide a smirk on his face. "I guess it would be okay to call you Princess, Princess~?"
Normally, I like being treated like a princess (I sounded like a himedere). But being called like that by boys who likes teasing me, ISN'T OKAY!!!
"So, if you call me 'princess', then is it okay to call you two 'servants'?" I shot back.
"It would be okay if you call us 'MY BELOVED servants'." 'Blue' said while grinning.
"WHAT?!" I paled. How come they loved the nickname?! "NO OF COURSE NOT!!"
"Hmm... Okay princess~ then maybe you should address us as 'My Knights in Shining Armors'?"
They kept on embarrassing me!! Wahhhhh!! T^T
"Stop with the princess thing! You! 'Red' and 'Blue'!" I pointed an accusing finger at them. "If I am your princess, then I COMMAND you to stop the PRINCESS THING!!!!!!!"
They looked at me clueless and with a hint of confusion. Did I say something wrong? Then suddenly, their eyes widened and began to burst into laughter.
"What now?!" I asked, irritated.
"Princess~, you know, it's rude to call other people names." 'Red' said.
"And we hate being called 'Red' and 'Blue'." 'Blue' scarily grinned. I gulped.
He's scary... I felt my soul being sucked out of me.
"But~ Because Princess~ was so adorable, then maybe we can take away half of the punishment. Right, onii-san~?"
He merely nodded and then both took one step closer to me. I backed away from fear. What's going to be my punishment?!
Seemingly understanding the look of confusion on my face, 'Red' replied. "Princess~ our consequences are quite simple. Once someone calls us names, especially 'Red' and 'Blue', we assure you that everyone goes to their graveyard."
"B-But! No fair! You didn't tell me your names! How can I know who are you? So I'm just gonna be obvious!" I protested.
Ah, right. I forgot to ask their names. Why am I so forgetful? I thought. Now that I remembered, I wonder what are their names.
They seemed to reconsider their actions and backed away.
"So, she didn't tell us our names?" 'Blue' asked. "What a shame..."
"But... It could be actually a nice game." 'Red' suggested. "What if Princess~ would guess our names? If you could guess our names in 2 days, then you win."
Why am I gonna participate in such a childish game?!
Seemingly guessing my thoughts, 'Blue' added, "If you won't participate then you get the punishment~. But if you guessed it correctly then you will receive a reward from us~."
I shivered. I agree they're a little scarier than I thought. They would let you do things, even if it's against your will. I sighed.
"But how am I going to know it if you don't give me anything to start with?" I asked.
"Complying, I see." 'Red' smirked.
"This makes it much more fun." 'Blue' said.
"Here are our clues: Part of our names means gentle." 'Red' said.
I deadpan. How come I'll know their names with just gentle as a clue?! And that part doesn't even suit them! They're mischievous!
"HOW AM I GONNA EVEN KNOW IT IF YOU JUST GAVE ME GENTLE AS A CLUE?!" I asked angrily.
"Don't worry, Princess~ we'll give you clues from time-to-time. Maybe a maximum of three clues, then you'll be on your own. We already gave you one." 'Blue' reassured.
"And also, you aren't allowed to ask the people in this house for clues, or the answer itself." 'Red' added. "Or it's a game over for you."
"But..." I started. "Is it alright to explore the house for clues?"
Huehuehuehue... If my timing and calculations would be right, then I'll be able to snoop their room for answers. I thought. I'm such a genius!
"Hm, I guess so." 'Blue' said while shrugging.
Thank goodness he didn't read my mind this time! I've got a hunch that he's a mind reader or something.
"Princess~ you're challenge starts now~" 'Red' said.
Both of them went to opposite directions, but before they could go any further, 'Blue' said,
"If you needed the other two clues, ask us. Our answer depends from what our mood is. If we're in a happy mood, then we might give you useful clues, but if we're annoyed or angry, then figure it out the hard way."
I stood there dumbfounded. How can I survive this game of guessing names?! What if I fail the game? I'll get killed again? Kami-sama, please don't tell me you're planning on reincarnating me again?!
I snapped out of my negative thoughts and shook my head. No, no, I shouldn't think about this! I need to focus! No good things will happen if I only spend my two days sulking, thinking the worst!
I began to walk over the first room, which happened to be 'Red's. I silently and carefully opened the room. It creaked a little, but not that loud. I poked my head inside and began to look over all the directions. No signs of 'Red'. I thought. Let's start!
I entered the room while closing it in the process. Now that I entered his room, I noticed how tidy this place was. I hadn't really noticed it until now. Maybe it was because of his first 'impression' when I entered the room. I looked over at a table filled with pen and papers. I took the things carefully and glanced at each of the papers.
Nope, nothing's in here. I thought. Let's go with the drawer next.
I placed the things in such order like before. I then went to the drawer and opened it. I only saw headphones and some things. I didn't receive any clue. I then went next to a book shelf stuffed with books. I'm guessing that at least I can see a book with something that goes, 'this book belongs to:' or something like that. I took a careful glance on every book, not even letting myself blink at least once. Once I haven't seen anything helpful, I moved over to the next room, which was 'Blue's. I did the same thing: scanning the room before entering. Once I made sure he isn't there, I quickly entered and closed the door. 'Blue's room is neat, but not as neat as his brother's.
I first take a look on the computer desk if I could find anything. I looked at the stuff carefully, not missing at least one letter from my gaze. Once I made sure nothing was TOTALLY there, I moved over to the computer.
Should I turn this on? I thought. What if I would get caught while in the middle of my research? But... I need to know their names! What if Kami-sama only gives people two chances to reincarnate? Then this is my last and final life to live, then its game over. Ugh! It felt like I'm in the point of where the protagonist needs to choose an option, instead, it's the villainess and it's hard to choose one! Which should I choose?
[Turn on the computer to find more clues about their names]
Or
[Do not risk anything, and instead, move to another location]
Gosh, so hard!!
I thought my options all over again. Which should I choose? Then that's when I heard footsteps coming to this room (?). I panicked.
Where should I hide?! Where should I hide?!
I then hadn't thought of any idea, so I just jumped under the bed in the nick of time as the door opened revealing 'Blue'. My breath got stuck on my throat. I felt something wrong. It felt as though he didn't notice me yet he, at the same time, noticed me. Confusing, isn't it?
He took a while on the room as he grabbed a blue (friendship) bracelet with the symbols Y and Y.
Hm... Y and Y... Interesting... I think I got a clue now. I thought.
When he motioned about almost exiting, I readied myself to get out under the bed. But the thing that surprises me is that:
"Princess~, please don't take too long in my room." He said through the entire room before finally exiting.
My mouth gaped open as I heard those words. He knows I'm here! How did he---?!
I crawled my way outside the bed and gulped. Does his brother also know that I am snooping on their rooms? I hope he doesn't. I made up my mind and opened the computer, since he already knows that I'm here. But to my dismay, it had been protected with a password.
Smart 'Blue'! I thought.
.

After I rummaged almost everything at his room, I didn't get any clues, except for the Y and Y that I saw from 'Blue'. I sighed.
I guess I should ask for clues since there wasn't even at least one name at their own room! I thought.
I went out the room and began to look for the brothers. Um... Where should I look first?
[Living room]
[Kitchen]
[Outside the mansion]
[Second Floor]
[Balcony]
or
[Attic]
Too many options! I thought. Which should I visit first? Hm... If I were them, I wouldn't visit the attic, of course -_-. Who would try visiting the attic? But... Thinking about it, I guess I cannot really cross the attic out of my options. They're quite... Random...
So... in my choices, I would most likely visit first--- *grumble*
The kitchen...
Don't judge me, I'M HUNGRY!!!! >.< But might as well check the living room on the way.
I checked the living room first, but no one was around. I then went to the kitchen, and the same maid from before bumped onto me.
"Ah! Yumi-sama! What are you doing here?" She asked.
Oh, how much I am refraining myself asking their names. But, I guess it's okay to at least ask one letter------
"------ma? ------sama? Yumi-sama?" I got back to reality when she waved a hand. "Do you want something?"
Yes, to know both of their names. I thought.
"Well, yes I want-"
"What?" I was cut off by a really familiar voice. I gulped. It was 'Red'.
"Food. I'm hungry." I said while rubbing my stomach, thank goodness, my stomach grumbled, making it look true.
She bowed and went to the kitchen to prepare something, which left 'Red' and I together in the dining room.
I guess I need to ask more clues... I thought, and then cleared my throat. He took a questioning glance at my direction.
"Can I ask what your mood is right now?" Now, now, I need to be cautious; I don't want the 2 clues to get wasted.
He (faked) wondered for a while. "My mood? I wonder..."
"Ugh! Okay never mind!" I said.
After that, the maid went to deliver the food. My mouth watered as she served it in front of me. I was about to dig in, when the plate was taken away from me. I looked at the culprit and glared.
"Give. Me. That. Now." I growled.
"Hm," He thinks for a moment. "No~"
I stood up and then reached for the food, but he simply stretched his arm, making the food away from my reach. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE TALL?! T^T
"Please give it to me, I AM HUNGRY!!" I said, while still trying to reach the plate.
"I will, if Princess~ would give me a favor." 'Red' smirked.
"What favor?" I asked suspiciously. If there's a thing that I've learned in residing in their mansion, then that's to not trust them. -_-
"I don't know." He shrugs.
"Then, no." I continued to reach the food.
We continued on those actions for some minutes.
"Give me that." I ordered.
"Nope." He answered.
"Give. Me. That."
"Nope~"
"I SAID GIVE ME THAT!!" I furiously reached the food.
"Nuh-uh Princess~"
I became really angry when suddenly...
A violet lace came out of nowhere and grabbed the plate out of his hands. I looked at where the violet lace came from and followed its direction. It came from... My hands?
I then tried tugging the violet lace and it floated towards my direction. Once it's in my reach I grabbed the plate, and the violet lace just disappeared. 'Red's eyes began to narrow.
"I guess, princess had remembered on how to release magic, eh?" He asked. "I'm tired, see you later."
And he then exited the place. I stared at my hands for some time. Was that me? I took a spoonful of food and felt something warm in my pocket. I took the phone that had been staying there for a while and saw the screen glowing violet. At last, it faded until it became normal.
~Timeskip~
I finished eating and a maid quickly took the used plates. Before she could go, I asked her where the backyard is. She quickly placed the plates in the sink and then guided me. We took constant stops so she could name the places we passed. She acts like a tour guide.
We reached the place, and I was mesmerized! How green! And the trees and garden here are beautiful. I saw 'Blue' sitting on a swing attached on a tree branch. I decided on speaking with him for clues. I walked towards his direction.
As soon as he noticed me, he said, "So, I heard you used your violet lace to get the food from onii-san. Congrats! First magic that you've casted since the time you've got amnesia."
I sheepishly rubbed the back of my neck. "Anyways, I'm asking what's your-----"
"Mood? Nah, I'm alright I guess." Okay... Is this guy a mind-reader or something?
"So can I ask for a clue?"
"Sure. But this is for my name. The other part of my name means to soar." I blinked.
'Blue' = Gentle + Soar
"I hope it helps." He said flashing a smile. "But can I have one request for the clue?"
I looked at him and thought. "Depends on the request."
"Can you sit here in the swing?" He said while getting out of the seat of the swing. I complied. "Okay, I'll push you."
He then pushed the swing. That's odd, it seemed like it's more favorable to me than him.
"I missed pushing Princess~ in the swing. Just like old times, ne?"
Then another vision showed.
It was me and 'Blue', when we were younger. We were on a park. I'm on one of the swing, being pushed by a smiling 'Blue'.
"Are you sure you aren't tired?" My younger self asked. "We can swap places if you want."
"As long as Yumi-chan is happy," He said. "it's alright."
"Mou, I felt more worried about your reply." I sweat-dropped.
"Princess? Princess? Yumi-chan?"
I snapped back to reality. "Um, what?"
"Are you getting dizzy?" He asked worriedly.
"I'm alright..."
The swinging continued until we heard 'Red's voice from inside.
"You two! Hurry, or I'm going to lock you outside!"
Once the swinging stopped, we went inside for dinner.
Ah, I forgot about the name thing. I mentally face-palmed.
(Timeskip)
I headed towards my room and fell to my bed, head first on a pillow.
"Whhhh, wt's wolmwost wn dway~~~~~~" (Ahhh, it's almost one day~~~~~~) I said in a muffled voice. I rolled over to my side. "Will I get killed tomorrow? Kami-sama, are you planning on reincarnating me agai----"
Then the door opened and revealed the brothers.
"We forgot to tell you that tomorrow, we will start schooling." 'Red' informed.
"But why????" I whined. Who doesn't hate school?! My past life had a normal school life. Counting in a normal school life was of course, bullies.
But, at least I'm a Magical Girl so I can at least beat them up if they'll try anything funny?
"No beating people up, Yumi-chan." 'Blue' warned. I sweat-drop. "We can protect you from them. And Red Mage-San said so. She told us that the Light Girl is schooling in our soon-to-transfer school."
"This is your uniform." 'Red' handed me a blue uniform. "I hope it fits you well."
They exited but got cut off when I said, "WAIT! SO DOES THIS MEAN I WON THE GAME?!"
Tomorrow, they'll introduce themselves, and I will know it! I thought happily. Yay! No one gets killed tomorrow!!!
"I guess." 'Red' shrugged. "You win."
"YATTA!!!!" I jumped on my bed. "I won!!"
"Yumi-chan is still as cute as ever!" 'Blue' grinned. I began to stop jumping and hid my starting-to-burn face on a pillow. "Oh, and your prize would be given tomorrow."
"Good night." They simultaneously said and turned the lights off.
~~~~~
LONG CHAPTER!!!
Otome-chan is tired. I wrote the chapter for 2 1/2 days. *sigh* and I usually got surprised when Not Today (BTS) was played. I put the speakers in high volume, and it just pops out of nowhere XD.
I'm really sorry if you wish to do the choices here in the chapter, but it's kind of hard to write choices since, in my mind, it takes time! But I guess I can add if you want to do choices.
Oh, I'm going to tell you that I'm every time I'll post a chapter; it'll have at least one A/N. So, for the next chapter, I'll just let you know that Otome-chan is just a 6th grader, and the Q and A for the next chappie came from a quiz bee I joined last October 2016. I saved some facts on my desktop to study, but ended up not using them. ^~^;
Who'll notice the reference I'll use for Chapter 6 and 7, yay! You're my new best friend ^_^ *~*. And I'll warn you that Chapter 7 is quite random, since... I don't even know myself ^^;
We have this promotional video for our school, and a senpai actually PUT EVERY ATTENTION ON ME!! Otome-chan got flustered and asked WHY!! And she said because I was the brainiest... T^T
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE VOTES!!!! FOR ADDING MY STORIES IN YOUR READING LIST!!!!! AND THE 100 READS!!!! *U* (I was supposedly publishing this yesterday but I was banned with my phone and WiFi because I scored 79% in Arts, and I also got A HUGE headache yesterday... I had a fever (but I got okay now, I guess...) But I still managed to be the ____ honor, and my mom agreed to at least lift the ban for 1 day, and it's today... ^-^;)
Words: 2891 words (for the story; not including the A/N) -.-; T^T
