“…I become her!”

In the hospital, Ao's body is given chest compressions.

It's only a day since Ao put his NerveGear however, when the night comes the doctor saw that he doesn't have any heartbeat.

*flatline…

In the end, they couldn't save him.

His daughter and wife suddenly felt their knees weakened.

His son catches both of them.

They hug him and start to cry.

Today, their father and her husband, died.

…

A month later.

It's been a month since the death of Ao, however, Rize couldn't move on about it.

She always visits the orphanage, she always watches the animes that he wanted, she eats the food that he likes, she talks with his ashes now and then— everything, everything that can make her remember her husband.

Looking at their mother like this, her son and daughter feel that they couldn't do anything about it.

They have been trying to cheer her up but nothing works.

Until one day, a familiar man suddenly visits them.

"Ishigami-san, why did you visit us?"

Ishigami looks at her son and daughter.

Both of them immediately get it and they leave them.

"I'm not gonna be wandering anymore and will straightly ask you. Do you want to see your husband again?"

"Ishigami-san, stop joking around—"

"I'm not joking around."

Seeing he is serious, Rize decided to take him seriously.

"If you can then, what is it? what do I need to see him again?"

Determination.

That's what he can see in her eyes.

"You need to die."

"…"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

"Are you not surprised?"

"Well, I already expected that you will say that but… I thought you would say that you're a wizard like harry potter or someone who has a supernatural power."

"…"

Ishigami suddenly looks away with guilt on his face.

She didn't see this since she is looking down, reminiscing something.

"Then I need to suicide?"

"No, but instead this."

He suddenly shows a golden dagger out of nowhere.

Rize reacted surprised by his performance.

"Are you like those street magicians?"

"Sorry but no. As you said earlier, I'm a wizard and have a supernatural power."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

At this point, Rize is in a state where she will believe in anything.

"So what will you do—"

Ishigami suddenly stabs her.

"What are you—"

"By the way, this is also something I did to your husband earlier."

This is the last word that she hears as her vision turns black.

…

"Huh? Where am I?"

Having awake from her sleeping, Rize felt a pain in her head.

Suddenly, the door opened.

"Ojou-sama, are you okay?"

A black-haired woman in her suit comes in.

"Uh?"

Rize is still confused about what was going on.

She realized something.

Why is she looking up to a woman who is the same as her height?

She look at her hands and saw it was… small and younger?

"Ah!"

She hold her face and feel the smooth skin that she used to when she was young.

She jumps to the bed and looks at a mirror.

"No way."

There is no way she wouldn't know this face.

After all, to feel the presence of her husband, she even watches his favorite animes.

"Tachibana Marika. One of the heroines of Nisekoi. I become her!"

She muttered while looking at the young woman in the mirror.
