In the world where Angelica originally lived, humans were still unable to understand the structure of the brain in an era of advanced technology. This is still the case in this technologically backward era, and magic is no exception.
"Amnesia that people are prone to as they age is retrograde amnesia, which is characterized by the inability to trace past memories. Anterograde amnesia is a very rare form of amnesia, characterized by the inability to convert short-term memories into long-term memories. For Antoinette, there is no present or future. Her memory forces her to live only in the past."
"Ms. Angelica is right."
Louis's expression was particularly bitter.
"Sister's memory will reset at midnight every day, and she will always live on the same day. Every day when she wakes up, she must accept the fact that she is in the hospital again, and then record what happened every day in a diary under the guidance of the nurse. Sister will not know that she met you yesterday until she turns to the page where we met yesterday."
"I impressed Antoinette so much yesterday, but she didn't remember anything today."
"So Sister Angelica's confession yesterday was a test?"
"Actually, it's 80 percent sincere."
"Isn't 80 percent serious enough?"
Angelica did not deny this.
"But Abigail is right. Being confessed to by a beautiful girl like me is a great achievement that is worthy of being engraved on the jacket of my autobiography as the main selling point...ah."
So it is impossible for Antoinette to forget. Angelica suddenly fell into deep thought when she thought of this.
"Sister Angelica?"
"I was thinking... if Antoinette clears her latest memory at midnight every day, doesn't that mean that no matter what I do to Antoinette, she will still greet me with a smile the next day?"
Abigail and Louis fell silent at the same time.
"For my sister's safety, I'm wondering whether I should call the guards."
"Eh? I just want Antoinette to be happy every day!"
"Then I'll ask you to help me recover my memory. I'm not sure why you came to me, but I can't do anything right now because my memory is being cleared every day."
Louis's expression was particularly serious.
"It will probably take a long time for my sister to recover by myself. You are a very powerful magician. As for the reward, I admit that I don't have the confidence to make a big promise, but I will do my best to make it up to you."
"In order to exchange your soul with Abigail's, I also have a reason to assist you in your magic research. I already have some ideas, why don't we get started right away."
"Thank you so much."
Louis was excited, he didn't know Angelica was a witch, he just knew that if someone assisted him in his magic research, he could save his sister from the endless days and nights.
Angelica also understood why Louis wanted to study the inherent magic of breaking the reincarnation cycle. In Louis' understanding, his sister Antoinette was always trapped in the cycle of living on the same day, and what he needed to do was to break Antoinette's reincarnation.
In the following days, Angelica and Abigail lived in Louis's rental house, and Angelica assisted Louis in his magic research.
Louis was sometimes amazed that there was such a way of thinking, and sometimes shocked by Angelica's reconstruction of the magic-free ritual. Abigail was completely unable to intervene in the realm of the two people, and in desperation, she chose to honestly prepare food for the two people and clean the house.
Although she was not used to Louis' male body at first, she was able to live a normal life after getting used to it. Abigail still hoped to get her soul back as soon as possible. After working all night for several days, Abigail felt that her body was going to stink.
Lunch time is also Louis's rest time, but his mouth is never idle. Not only is he eating, he is also chatting with Angelica and Abigail about his sister Antoinette.
"Miss Antoinette turned out to be a special student of the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy?"
"The admission system of Santa Barbara Girls' Academy is very special. Every year during the admission season, people come from far away to apply. I heard from my sister that Santa Barbara Girls' Academy will only train ladies they think have potential. They will distribute many questionnaires, ask many questions for investigation, and then select a fixed number of applicants as students for that year."
"What do you mean by special admissions?"
Abigail and Louis talked about the admission to the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy. The admission method of the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy was a unique questionnaire survey. Even if a student was born into a noble family and did not meet the lady standards of the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, he or she would still be denied admission.
Therefore, civilian girls also have the opportunity to enroll in school. Just like if horse racing is still an aristocratic sport, it will not be well-known in the human world. Giving everyone the opportunity to participate is the best way to increase its popularity.
“It’s to give some people who didn’t receive the questionnaire a chance to enroll.”
Angelica was all too familiar with this.
"Because the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy is very famous, every big family wants their daughters to go to the academy to get a gold medal. But the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy refuses any bribes and will not agree to enroll just because a big family gives them money."
St. Barbara Girls' Academy is the most famous academy in the Principality of Walsrod. Its special reputation deserves to be protected. Otherwise, it will lose its credibility and people will no longer try to send their daughters to the academy. Therefore, St. Barbara Girls' Academy has official financial assistance from the Principality of Walsrod, which gives them the confidence to refuse.
"But the nobles would still rack their brains to increase the chances for their daughters. They turned their attention to questionnaires, deliberately purchasing many questionnaires but not handing them in, in order to monopolize the quota. Later, Santa Barbara Girls' Academy changed it to require the candidates to fill out the questionnaires in person, but the nobles would still hire many people to grab the quota and fill them out randomly. In the end, Santa Barbara Girls' Academy adopted a special enrollment system: while distributing questionnaires, students in the academy could also make recommendations."
【Witch TIPS】
Angelica has very strange habits: she likes to tease people, but has a high tendency to reject them when she is teased.
66 Miss Witch and Enrollment in the Ladies Academy
"Every student is eligible to recommend a student they think is suitable for admission to the academy. The academy will then send a questionnaire to this student for investigation. If the results of the investigation meet the standards, the student will be admitted as a special student, and this special student is also eligible for recommendation."
The Santa Barbara Girls' Academy was very confident in its strong faculty. Facts had also proven that the students recommended by their sophomores and juniors were often very good prospects, but they were disqualified from enrolling because of the monopoly of the aristocracy.
"By the way, I enrolled in school legitimately."
Angelica raised her chin proudly. Abigail felt mixed emotions. Angelica had actually passed the questionnaire assessment and was admitted. She felt that the value of Santa Barbara Girls' Academy had dropped a lot.
"Ms. Angelica's qualifications... should indeed be enough for admission."
Louis didn't know that Angelica was once a student at the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, but he thought that Angelica had a tendency to enroll. However, in Louis's understanding, Angelica was actually fine except for her strange aggression towards cute girls and her pride in looking angry but having the capital.
"Sister was not invited originally, but a senior from the third year recommended her, so she was admitted as a special student. I am very happy for her from the bottom of my heart, because with her experience at St. Barbara Girls' Academy, she will definitely have no shortage of suitors in the future. She will marry into a good family and live a life without worries about food and clothing. Then I will have no regrets."
"Pity……?"
"Oh, what I mean is that for a long time, my sister raised me. Our parents died early, and the welfare benefits were only enough for us to keep from starving. My sister was not old enough to earn money at that time, but her magic talent was outstanding. She was a well-deserved genius. Thanks to my sister's hard work in using magic to make money to supplement the family income, I was able to live a happy life."
Louis looked a little lonely.
"Compared to my sister, I am just a mediocre person. I tried my best to catch up with my sister, but in the end, I was the one who caused trouble for her. So this time, I must save my sister from the memory of reincarnation no matter what."
Abigail could understand Louis's feelings, and her experience was similar to Louis'. Abigail's brother Samuel also worked as a child laborer to earn money to supplement the family income, and in the end he also died while protecting Abigail from the beatings of her alcoholic father.
The older child had to become the breadwinner of the family due to family circumstances, but Samuel died young before Abigail could help relieve the burden. Although Abigail wanted to help Louis and Antoinette, she was not as talented in magic as Louis.
All Abigail could do was to quietly clean up the dishes after lunch. Abigail usually went to buy food for the rental house. With a lot on her mind, Abigail did not disturb Angelica and Louis who were continuing their research, and picked up the basket and went to the market alone.
Because of the body swap and research, Abigail would take time out to visit Antoinette in the nursing home from time to time. Worthy of the name of a lady trained by the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy, Antoinette is indeed a beautiful and kind big sister. She knows from the diary that it is not Louis who is using her body now, but she does not reject Abigail every day.
The relationship between them as siblings must be very good.
As Abigail thought this, she couldn't help but think of her deceased brother Samuel.
Even though she denied it, Angelica was entrusted by Samuel to take Abigail away from her hometown and live in a more distant place.
Brother Samuel...what were you thinking when you asked Sister Angelica for help...?
"oops!"
It is inevitable to collide when you are distracted on the street. Abigail accidentally bumped into someone. Although Louise's body is not strong, she still has a slight advantage compared with girls of the same age.
"S-Sorry! I accidentally..."
Abigail hurriedly helped the girl who had been knocked down up, and she immediately discovered that the girl who had been knocked down was the girl who had been holding Antoinette's cheering board at the beginning.
"It's you?"
"Huh? Have we met somewhere before?"
Abigail then realized that she was now using Louis' body, and quickly said that she had recognized the wrong person and apologized.
Unfortunately, the girl sprained her ankle. In order to make up for her mistake, Abigail hoped to send the girl home in person.
"Boys are not allowed to enter the Santa Barbara Girls' Academy campus... But I wasn't going to school, I was going to clean my senior's house."
The girl said her name was Susan, and she was a sophomore at Santa Barbara Girls' Academy. The home she was going to was naturally Antoinette's. When Abigail went to the nursing home to chat with Antoinette, she roughly learned that Antoinette and Louis originally had their family residence, but for some reason, Louis usually did experiments in a rented house, probably to prevent the side effects of magic experiments from affecting his home.
Abigail felt that she had to take responsibility. Originally, Susan was not very happy about having a stranger enter her senior's house, but her sprained ankle would take a while to recover. Considering Abigail's sincere attitude, and that it would be a tricky problem if she miscalculated the time limit and missed the school's curfew, Susan agreed to take Abigail to Antoinette's house.
Antoinette's house is an independent residence. On the way here, the two chatted for a while. Susan was surprised that Abigail spoke like a girl even though she was a boy. However, she realized that Abigail was not a bad person and let down her guard against her.
"What a big house..."
"Senior Antoinette's ancestors seem to be nobles. This is their property."
No wonder Antoinette and Louis were the only ones left to support the family, but Antoinette had to work so hard, as maintaining such a large house was a major expense.
"After Senior Antoinette's accident, the academy contracted the maintenance costs of the residence out of humanitarian considerations. However, the daily cleaning and sanitation can only be done by me. After all, Senior Antoinette's family did not hire a servant before, and now there are no other relatives."
"Hmm... you have a younger brother?"
Abigail couldn't help but remind her.
"You actually knew that Senior Antoinette had a brother? Did you know Senior Antoinette before?"
"Well, my family has done business with them before."
"Then you probably haven't had any contact with Senior Antoinette's family for a long time. Senior Antoinette's brother... passed away a year ago. Now Senior Antoinette is the only one in her family, who is ill."
67 The Man in the Dying World
"No! Her brother is still alive!"
Abigail couldn't believe it. She was now using the body of Antoinette's brother Louis. Although it was indeed abnormal that Louis chose to live in a rental house instead of her own home, Antoinette only cleared her memory regularly and did not completely lose her memory. She personally admitted that this body belonged to her brother Louis.
"Um... have you visited Senior at the nursing home?"
"Why do you ask?"
"If you learned this from Senior Antoinette, there might be misunderstanding."
Susan lamented Antoinette's tragic fate.
"A year ago, a crazy vampire appeared in Valsrode, causing many casualties. Vampires are nocturnal creatures that feed on blood. They have high intelligence and can coexist with other races, but occasionally there are vampires who go crazy due to the urge to suck blood and cause harm indiscriminately."
The crazy vampire that appeared in Walsrod came from the outside world. He was originally an ancient vampire who was said to have fallen into madness under the influence of the devil.
"Vampires are proficient in magic, and ordinary people have difficulty fighting against them. There are many girls in the St. Barbara Girls' Academy, so the vampire moved here for hunting. Grand Duke Walsrod blocked the news in order to avoid panic, and summoned magicians to fight against vampires."
"You mean... Antoinette has been summoned?"
"Well, Miss Antoinette is very young, but she is a talented magician. The opponent is an extremely powerful vampire. At least in order to hold the vampire back before the church's support arrives, we must gather all the magicians that can be mobilized. Antoinette's brother secretly followed her, and in the battle with the vampire, he blocked a fatal blow for Senior Antoinette."
"how come……"
"In the end, Senior Antoinette and the expedition team successfully defeated the vampire, but Senior's brother was seriously injured and died. Since then, Senior has suffered from a very rare amnesia, and she loses her recent memories. Senior's memory has been stuck in a year ago, when her brother was still alive and she had not yet enrolled as a student at Santa Barbara Girls' Academy. So every time I went to the nursing home to visit Senior, she treated me as a stranger she had never seen before."
Susan was deeply saddened, but Abigail was shocked.
Louis is dead.
So what about Louis who is with us?
Abigail was full of doubts, but she could not get more information by asking Susan. Since Antoinette had not yet entered school when her memory was reset, Susan had to get to know her again even if she went to the nursing home to visit her. Over time, Susan felt that every visit to the nursing home would only increase her sadness, so she chose to concentrate on cleaning Antoinette's empty house.
Susan firmly believes that Antoinette will recover sooner or later. She seems unaware that Antoinette's amnesia was caused by the curse, and thinks that Antoinette was stimulated after losing her last relative.
In addition, Susan had never met Louis, after all, St. Barbara's Academy was a girls' school. Antoinette's family did not have a photo of them together, and in Susan's opinion, Louis' body, which Abigail used, was a complete stranger.
By evening, Abigail had basically finished her work, and Susan's sprained foot had basically recovered.
Abigail said goodbye and returned to her residence, and Angelica also brought good news.
"The reconstruction of the magic ritual has been successfully completed. Your bodies can be restored tomorrow."
"Oh……"
"Are you unhappy? Didn't Abigail keep asking me when I could change back these past two days? Or have you gotten used to a boy's body and want to experience the pleasure that only boys can have?"
"Boys' happiness...?"
Angelica whispered softly into Abigail's ear.
Abigail blushed instantly.
"Really? Sister Angelica always thinks about this kind of thing!"
"I'm quite curious whether Abigail, a girl, would have a normal reaction when using a man's body... How about we experiment now?"
"do not want!"
Abigail hurriedly distanced herself from Angelica. She knew the answer to this question best. When she was still a girl, she had the absurd idea of collecting things used by Angelica. After Abigail occupied Louis' body, she never dared to get too close to Angelica, because the sweet scent exuded by Angelica gave Abigail a strange feeling.
"Speaking of which! I heard some rumors outside today."
Abigail deliberately took Angelica away from Louis. Louis was still checking the procedures of the magic ritual. He attached great importance to this glimmer of hope that could allow Antoinette to return to normal.
Abigail told Angelica all the rumors about Louis.
