Episode 1 – Encounters and how it all began

Apparently, I’m a Childhood Friend of a Saint in the World of Light Novels, and When We Meet Again After a Few Years at School, She’s Turned into Some Kind of Yandere?

What does this mean ……?

I was outside playing with friends when I saw a girl crying because she was being bullied by a group of boys.

As soon as I saw her shiny silver hair, my mind was suddenly flooded with memories of an unfamiliar world.

The world was filled with clothes, vehicles, and buildings I had never seen before.

I dropped the toy I was holding and stood there stunned.

“! This is no time for this! I have to save her!”

I remembered that a girl was being bullied at this very moment and rushed out to run.

I ran as fast as I could and stood up to protect her from the bullies.

“You’re a nuisance! Get out of my way!”

“Why are you picking on her?”

“Her hair color is disgusting, isn’t it? It’s like a monster, we have to get rid of it!”

The girl’s hair was indeed silver, which I had never seen before.

But why there’s no way she’s together with monsters.

And no matter what the reason, it’s absolutely wrong to surround a girl with a large group of people and bully her!

“You still can’t bully a girl, can you?”

“S-Shut up!”

The boy who was the leader of the group was the first one to punch me.

Huh …… strange. …… I wonder why he is so slow.

I’ve never been in a fistfight before, but strangely enough, I didn’t feel any fear, and the fists he swung seemed to have stopped.

I was able to move my body naturally and move out of the way.

“What! You dodged it!”

“Stop it. Bullying is a shameful thing to do.”

“Ugh……… remember this!”

Saying that, the leader-like boy ran off somewhere with the boys behind him.

I’m glad …… he gave up so easily and unexpectedly. ……

I wiped the sweat off my face and turned to face the girl.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt or something?”

“……I-I’m fine.”

The girl was the cutest I had ever seen.

And I felt a tremendous sense of dejavu in her face.

But I’m pretty sure I’ve never met her before. ……

After a few seconds of contemplation, the reason why I had seen her before occurred to me and I had a hunch.

The face of the girl in front of me was also in my memory.

“Your name is …… Charlotte?”

“Eh……? Do you know my name, ……?”

The girl looked surprised.

So, is this memory correct ……?

If this memory is correct, then this is the world in the book “The Rise of a Commoner Saint.”

Charlotte was the name of the saint who was the main character in the story.

“My name is Alan.”

“Alan-kun ……”

Hnn? Alan ……?

Alan might be the name of the saint’s childhood friend who dies protecting the prince in the school’s entrance exam!

I-I’m going to die ……?

In the story, there was a character who was a childhood friend of the saint who died protecting the prince from the clutches of an assassin.

The character’s name was Alan.

I’m five years old now and Charlotte looks about the same age as me.

If we were to get to know each other from now on, we would probably become childhood friends.

I didn’t know what to do, but I already wanted to go home.

“Um, I’m so thankful that you saved me. Alan kun.”

“I-I didn’t do anything wrong! I hardly did anything. ……”

“No. You were really cool!”

Charlotte smiled like a blooming flower.

I was so excited that my heart skipped a beat.

W-Why is my heart pounding so hard ……?

“……? What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing! I’m fine!”

“I-is that so ……?”

It seems I managed to fool her.

The sight of her slightly tilting her head in wonder made my heart flutter.

Even though I was thinking about going home just now, I find myself wanting to be with this girl even more.

“There is a beautiful flower garden a little further away. I’d like you to come with me if you like.”

I found myself inviting her to the flower garden.

I wanted to know more about her.

I wanted to chat with her more.

“H-How about it ……?”

What if she says no? ……

It was my first time to be so nervous just to ask her out.

While I was nervously waiting for her answer, Charlotte smiled at me and said, “Okay.”

“No problem. I’d like to go with you, Alan kun”

“Really? yay!”

I jumped for joy.

I gently grabbed Charlotte’s small, slippery hand.

“Come on! This way!”

“Y-yeah!”

We ran side by side.

Once we arrived at the flower garden, we made flower crowns, played fetch, and played around until the sun went down.

From that day on, we became friends and played together every day.

[TLN : Found this while scrolling Kakuyomu, seems really interesting…and what’s with japanese and ‘charlotte’…I almost saw the name Charlotte in every reaincarnated WN….

Oh and tomorrow will be an off day because of something I had to do all day, so, see you on friday!]
