There Is No Need To Be Obsessed

I was killed.

I was on my way home after the company dinner party.

When I got home, I thought I could feel some movements behind me.
And abruptly, something sharp stabbed me in the back.

I collapsed at the sudden attack, and the criminal in a black hat ran away.

Blood draining from my body gradually pooled on the ground.
My consciousness blurred and flickered.

And when I open my eyes, I am here.

I was lying on a bed.

At first, I thought it was the hospital, but I soon realised that was not the case.

Because there is no room like this there.

No hospital would use wallpaper with such geometric patterns.

There is even a chandelier.

Above all, the room was very spacious, but there was nothing else besides a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and the bed I was lying on.

Medical equipment was nowhere to be found after I had searched around.

Hence, this must not have been a hospital.

At this point, I would normally think that I had been kidnapped or something like that, but I had a rough idea of ​​where this place might be.

At that moment, the door swung open and a girl in a maid outfit entered.

Contrary to the brisk entry, the girl faltered when our eyes met.

I tilted my head.

“Miss! I have something to tell you! I can’t do this anymore! My salary has been delayed for five months.
But you don’t have to pay me.
So, could you just write me a letter of recommendation, please…”

Unlike the explicit start, the girl’s voice became smaller the more she said, blurring at the end.

A lady, in a maid outfit, and a structure reminiscent of a Western mansion.

I got up, passed the girl, and headed towards the window.

It was night, so I could see myself reflected on the window glass.

I muttered a little as I looked at my reflection.

“This is insane…”

I felt the girl flinch when she heard my voice, but I didn’t care.

Because I looked nothing like myself in the window reflection.

I opened the window and looked outside.

There was a purple crescent moon hanging in the sky.

A purple moon that I could never see in the world I knew.

Looking at the moon, I felt fed up.

I’m back here again?

A strange world, yet, I had been to this place before.

♔♚♔

It was when I was in high school.

It was one summer vacation, I was on my way to school to take a reinforcement class before school started.

It was boiling outside that day, I got struck by the heat waves and fell into a manhole.
When I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar world.

The name of the world I fell into was ‘Cliff Empire’.

It was precisely the name of a country.

The Cliff Empire was a completely different place from where I used to live.

Language, clothing, architectural style, and even my appearance.

It was difficult to accept reality at first.
But after a day, two days, and
