Chapter 64 The Girl Living on the Same Day
The nursing home in Walsrode has the best conditions in the entire continent, but there probably aren't many patients willing to move in to recuperate, because most of the patients in the nursing home are terminally ill. The nursing home is not intended to cure them, but out of humanitarianism, hoping that these terminally ill patients can live without pain in the last moments of their lives.
Therefore, the patients in the nursing home are mainly elderly people, and Antoinette is the youngest among them.
"…My sister Antoinette is a sophomore at Santa Barbara Girls' Academy. She was cursed after an accident a year ago and was forced to drop out of school to recuperate."
Walking on the road leading to the nursing home, Antoinette's brother Louis introduced her to Angelica.
"Sister is very popular in the academy. The girl you met yesterday should be her junior. She should be the same age as sister now. Santa Barbara Girls' Academy did not expel sister. She can continue to go to school after she recovers. However, the curse on sister is so severe that even the best magic instructor of Santa Barbara Girls' Academy is helpless. In this year, there is no sign that the curse on sister has been lifted."
"It's not easy for you to do research alone to save your sister."
“I feel like I’ve found the way.”
"Is the solution to this problem to swap bodies with a girl you don't even know?"
"This, this was just an accident!"
In front of the nursing home, Louis awkwardly defended himself. He and Abigail still hadn't changed back. Since Louis' research was based on Antoinette's curse, Angelica felt that she had to understand Antoinette's curse in order to better understand Louis's research ideas on inherent magic.
Louis did not reveal the details of Antoinette's curse, but just said like a riddler, "I will take you to see my sister, and you will understand her curse the next day."
Abigail was still a little reserved, and Louis begged her desperately to convince her to go with him.
I knocked on Antoinette's ward door and a weak but optimistic voice came from inside.
"Come in."
"Excuse me."
A girl with long straight black hair was lying on the hospital bed. Even though she looked a little thin due to the curse and illness, it still couldn't hide the exquisiteness of her facial features.
"Louis? And... let me take a look."
When Antoinette saw Angelica and Abigail, she took the heavy notebook from the bedside table and quickly flipped through it.
"Sister, they are first-time guests."
"Eh? But you..."
"For various reasons, my soul and that of Miss Abigail have been swapped, and now I am Louise."
"Hello... My name is Abigail."
"And this is Miss Angelica, the magician."
"She is a genius beautiful magician."
Angelica corrected Louis's wrong statement. She allowed others to ignore that she was a genius magician, but she would never allow others to ignore that she was a beautiful girl.
Antoinette continued to flip through her notebook before finally confirming Louis's statement.
"It's not written in the diary... Well, it's our first meeting. Hello, I'm sorry to meet you in such an impolite way. I'm Louis's sister Antoinette. I seem to have lived in a nursing home for a long time but because of my memory, I can’t remember it."
"As if? Can't you remember how long you've been in the hospital?"
"Yes, I was surprised when I woke up this morning that I was in the nursing home. The nurses came to tell me that I had been in the hospital for a long time and gave me this notebook."
Antoinette showed Angelica and Abigail the notebook in her hand with an apologetic look on her face. The notebook was engraved with the beautiful handwriting of a girl. Even if Antoinette was confused, she could still recognize her own handwriting.
"My sister's memory is not very good. She has to take notes to record what happened, otherwise she will easily forget it."
"But this is the first time I've seen a patient who even forgot that he was in the hospital..."
Abigail complained in a low voice. She and Angelica had seen confused elderly people before in their travels, but it was the first time in Abigail's knowledge that Antoinette had been hospitalized for nearly a year and could actually forget that she was in the hospital.
Because of the curse, Antoinette's health was in poor condition and she could only communicate with visitors while sitting on her hospital bed.
"There's no record of you two in the notebook... Oh, could it be Louis' girlfriend...?"
Antoinette may seem like a sickly beauty who is typical of literary girls, but once she opens her mouth you’ll discover she’s surprisingly talkative.
"No, sister, I have caused Miss Abigail a lot of trouble."
"Oh, I'm sorry, there's only me and Louis at home, and I always feel that the house is very lonely. I hope Louis can find a girlfriend soon to make the house lively."
"If you want to liven up the house, wouldn't it be the same if you were to fall in love? You don't lack suitors."
Louis complained unhappily that even though her memory was not very good, Antoinette remained unchanged in some aspects, such as being like a parent who urged her children to get married.
"Indeed, I ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ should not mind being Mademoiselle Antoinette's suitor, for example."
"Huh?"
Talking about love, Angelica gently held the messy Antoinette's hands.
"I didn't expect she was such a pretty girl before I came here... Miss Antoinette, would you mind being my girlfriend? Or vice versa, I can be Miss Antoinette's girlfriend."
"Sister Angelica! Miss Antoinette is not feeling well."
"That would be even better. She won't be able to resist no matter what I do... No, I mean, I will be responsible for taking care of her."
"Forgive me, I'm sorry...?"
Antoinette pulled her hand back in panic, and Louis' eyes widened.
"Wait, didn't you say you came to see your sister for the fate of the hero of the art?"
"Oh, that's true. But considering Miss Antoinette's current condition, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any information until Miss Antoinette is cured."
Besides, Angelica is looking for the heroes, on the one hand to inform them of the fate of Hades' resurrection, and the second purpose is to help them remove Hades' curse.
However, after Angelica's inspection, Antoinette's curse did not have the same opportunity as Ecrecia's . Ecrecia's curse would be activated with the change of day and night, while Antoinette's curse was always effective. Louis said that when he came to visit Antoinette the next day, he would know the truth about Antoinette's curse.
Angelica was confident that her actions had left a deep impression on Antoinette, and she would definitely have a clear memory of it. Any girl who receives a advance from another girl would remember it vividly.
Then, the next day, when Angelica and others visited Antoinette in the nursing home again, her reaction was the same as Angelica expected.
"Louis? And... let me take a look."
——Antoinette’s memory was reset.
