“Gasp!”

I didn’t expect to kick a mushy body part of the man. It turns out I kicked the centerpiece of his body.

Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter because I was trying to punish this molester in the first place. I guess it was rather efficient.

Well, the original revenge quote was ‘An eye for an eye! This for that!’  Well, I’ll pay you back for what you did to me!

Of course, it’s my responsibility to pay them back.

That man was gently touching my legs while holding my crotch.

I could see he was in pain after that kick, but I still wasn’t satisfied.

“Mi, Miss Lena, haah, now, this, what is this…”

“I think I should be saying that. Why are you touching someone else’s ass as if it’s your own body, huh?”

“Miss Lena, do you think you can do this to me while knowing that I am your biggest sponsor?”

Sponsor? What sponsor?

As I was tilting my head, the man then resentfully said.

“Miss Lena, do you know how hard it is to sponsor someone like you? Maintaining this troupe is already hard enough, and on top of that, I have to provide you with additional financial support as your sponsor. The other actors have never behaved so rudely with me.”

“What does this have to do with you touching me? And so what if you are the one who is providing financial support for me?? Are you saying that it gives you the freedom to touch me? Do you think this is funny?”

“I, I just thought Miss Lena was like my daughter…”

“That’s right. You agreed to this, too, remember? You told me that I could touch you if I treated you like how I treated my daughter, do you remember? So what if you feel unpleasant, I am like your dad, so it’s ok, right?”

I threw a bunch of roses while shouting at that man.

“Get the hell out of here!”

Before I kick you again!

The man shuddered and got up onto his feet seeing my intimidating behaviour.

The man quickly ran to the entrance, not even taking the roses I threw at him.

Nevertheless, he glanced at me with a sad face as if he had lingering regret.

He still hadn’t woken up, had he?

I quietly lifted my toe and showed the shiny tip of my shoe.

Then, the man ran away without a thought.

“Not a molester? Crazy guy.”

As I dusted off my hands, I saw the fallen rose petals and the bouquet on the floor.

‘…It’s a mess here. Shall we get rid of those first?’

After removing the debris, I didn’t know what to do next.

Should I go back to the room where I first woke up?

I looked at the man who brought me here. Was his name ‘Bill’? I should ask just in case…

“Excuse me…”

“Huek!”

As soon as I opened my mouth, Bill hiccuped and hurriedly covered his crotch.

‘What’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting like that? Is it because…of what I did earlier?’

A laugh came out.

I’m not going to kick anyone anymore, but it’ll be good if people became wary of me.

“W-Why did you call me?”

He even stammered. It was ridiculous, but I don’t feel like explaining what happened to him.

I just want a break.

“I want to go back. Can I?”

“Yes! Right away!”

Bill nodded his head quickly. He still gathered his legs and put his hands over them while looking at me warily, as if showing me he wanted to leave too.

‘Yes, I want to leave as well…’

The problem was that it had only been a few hours since I had woken up as Lena, and I didn’t know the way back to my room.

But I couldn’t say that I didn’t know where my room was, so I guess there was only one way?

“I’m sorry, but could you carry this to my room? I moved a lot today, and I feel really tired, so I don’t have the strength to move it.”

I said, waving the bouquet I used to drive out that piece of crap.

Even when I said that I kept thinking, ‘What if he doubts me?’ Contrary to my expectations, the man led me to my room without being suspicious of me.

Before I could thank him, he ran away with a pale face.

***

“Hahaha!”

The red-haired woman was laughing in front of me as if the world had ended. Moreover, it had only been a few minutes since I had kicked out that piece of crap, and with the help of Bill, had reached my room.

“Lena!”

The red-haired woman who quickly opened the door questioned me.

“Is it true?”

“Yes? What?”

“You kicked the middle of Casaro on your own, and then you drove him out?!”

“Ah, maybe…”

“Oh! That’s so cool!”

The woman started laughing madly again while leaning on the wall for support.

‘But how did you know that?’

My questions were answered immediately after.

“I didn’t believe it when Bill who had a pale face, talked about it non-stop, but now I do!”

The woman said so while laughing like a pig.

Thanks to that, I found out who had told her.

How can you talk to someone in such a short amount of time?

Bill must have a mouth lighter than a feather.

‘When she goes back, I’ll talk to him.’

However, I didn’t have the opportunity to confront Bill.

Because the woman laughed for a long time. You would think she would stop after a while, but no, she continued to laugh even louder.

‘When are you going to stop laughing…’

When I couldn’t look the woman in the eye because I was embarrassed, the woman hit the wall with her hand.

“Hu, hahahaha! I love it! He got kicked by a woman! Good job Lena!”

“What? What are you…”

“I’m talking about you kicking Casaro! He always visits you and makes excuses that he’s your sponsor! But today, you finally kicked him! You did a hell of a good job today!”

“Yes, I did.”

“You haven’t used honorifics for a while. When did you decide to stop using them?”

The woman put her hands on my shoulder as her laughter eased up.

As she approached, I flinched a little, and then my body started trembling, but the woman didn’t care.

“But you don’t have to behave that way to me, do you? How long have you and I been together?”

Well, it wasn’t me…! I held back what I wanted to say.

This woman was the first person I saw when I woke up. Besides, I still don’t know her name yet, but somehow, I trust her.

Now, if I pretend to have amnesia, you most likely won’t believe me.

‘Let’s just pretend.’

Yes, that would help me in this situation.

I sneaked into the woman’s arm and then said.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s possible. I can’t seem to get used to this.”

“Oh, my God…I got goosebumps. You know, you’re really awkward right now? Can’t you just do what you normally do? I think that’s better.”

In my words, the woman trembled with me in her arms. She seemed really disgusted, but I knew that it was a joke.

So I wasn’t offended, but the problem was that I didn’t behave ‘as usual’, since I wasn’t the same person as before.

When I didn’t say anything, the woman shrugged her face and shoulders.

“Yeah. Well, it’s up to you, so do as you like. Anyway, you did a great job kicking Casaro today! You’re the best!”

The woman said that while raising her thumb.

I felt embarrassed about being praised. It hasn’t been long since we met, but she felt like someone I could trust.

“Of course, it was still too much to kick over there.”

…What! It was the perfect place to kick!

As my face hardened, the woman smiled at me. It seemed like she was dying to make fun of me.

The woman, who was laughing for a long time, turned away while saying she couldn’t keep this funny news to herself.

“See you tomorrow Lena!”

The woman left after saying those words and left without a moment’s delay. Just like the first time she came into my room.

***

What I was worried about didn’t happen as the woman bragged.

Thanks to you, I was able to continue my life the next day and the day after that.

No, it was incorrect to say I was fine. To be precise, it was ‘pretending to be fine’.

I died once and came back alive, so there was no way I’ll be fine.

But I got used to being ‘Lena’.

I thought if I searched the room, I’d find a clue about Lena, but it all ended in vain.

There was nothing, from diaries to wills, and even to common graffiti.

There was really nothing.

I secretly wondered if I ever did something weird when I was acting as Lena, but it seemed like I didn’t since everyone was behaving as usual.

Of course, I did find one thing that was strange.

It’s the color of my eyes, which turned into a shade of gold whenever they came into contact with light.

The original color of Lena’s eyes was silver-gray, which didn’t have any hints of gold.

I was surprised to find out about this, so I  called in a therapist for a checkup, but there was nothing wrong with this body.

They said if I was really worried, I could go and meet someone at the temple. I couldn’t, though, because it costs a lot of money to even see a junior priest.

Eventually, I decided to ignore it.

‘Maybe that happened because I possessed this body!’

But other than this, I had to desperately act like Lena, since Lena didn’t have any accident before I possessed her body.

Fortunately, everyone was busy on the stage every day and didn’t even notice that I was weird.

Anyway, after acting as Lena for the last few days, I was able to get general information about this place.

I was in the capital and played at the theater called ‘Chloe’s Theater’. The name of the man who played along with me on stage was ‘Rael’, and the friendly red-haired woman was ‘Veloca’. We were all the same age, 23.

Perhaps, because I was the same age as my previous life, I was able to treat the both of them relatively well.

Basically, it was because the two of them were good people, and I felt sorry for Lena and my parents in my previous life, but still, this life was quite suitable, and I liked it.

Now, I am working as a professional actor, a job I had always dreamed of in my previous life.

I wasn’t always the lead role on stage. There were times when Veloca starred, but I was always on stage, even if it wasn’t much.

Furthermore, the composition of the plays here was as advanced as it was in my previous life.

The reason was because of the steles. The steles were leftovers that came from the purification of Masu, and it’s used in various places after being processed with a liquid.

There were two types of steles present within the theater, one amplified the voice of the actors as if they were using a microphone, and the other allowed voices to be recorded.

I wasn’t sure about Lena, but I liked my life here.

Except for one thing.

The people who looked for me after the play.

Some people sincerely handed flowers to me because they enjoyed my good acting skills, but most of them were men who had similar habits to Casaro, who mainly got kicked by me.

All of them tried to touch my body, showing off that they were sponsors, and every time, I used a bouquet of flowers to punish them without hesitation with my sword skills that I had polished since I was young.

The men who were kicked and beaten by me all ran away at the end.

Of course, some of them were here to congratulate me, but I sometimes misunderstood them and made a few mistakes.

In such cases, I apologized and compensated, but there were also strange people among them.

Like the young man who came for a beating so he could receive his compensation!
