I Was a Man Before Reincarnating, So I Refuse a Reverse Harem

ened to Sophie’s words.
That was enough for her.
Therefore, there was no need to ask anything else of him.

Sophie held a similar feeling toward Christina.
Sophie deeply adored the young lady called Christina.

Christina Wellin was mellow, beautiful, and possessed strength that made Sophie feel the brilliance of life.
So much so that Sophie thought there was practically nobody who didn’t adore Christina.

Christina’s beauty wasn’t limited to her appearance.
Sophie was also a person who was educated as a lady.
She was taught courtesy and table manners by a tutor.
Every minute movement was strictly pointed out.
For Sophie, whose mannerisms were limited to postures and how to hold chopsticks in her previous life, it was honestly tough to follow.

Sophie practiced her mannerisms not only during her lesson time, but also during her free time every day, until she finally learned it all.
That was why she could understand Christina’s mannerisms were exceptional.
Sophie couldn’t guess how much effort Christina put into achieving that.

“As for the reason why Christina onee-sama made me your ‘little sister,’ I don’t really care.
Even if you did that out of malice, I’m still happy that you made me your ‘little sister.’ Also, anyone could see that I am unworthy of being your ‘little sister.’ I also understand that very well.”

Christina’s expression didn’t change.
Even so, Sophie continued her words.

“That’s why, I will put effort into becoming a worthy person to be Christina onee-sama’s ‘little sister.’ I want to be a person that you can be proud to call your ‘little sister.’ I will dedicate myself to that.
That’s why, please give me more time to achieve that.”

Sophie’s difference in social stature and family pedigree was distance that would never disappear.
However, Sophie still wished to become closer.
She committed to putting effort into reducing said distance.

Sophie didn’t wish for Christina to pull her along with her.
What Sophie wished for was to run up to her with her own power.

Giving up in the situation, waiting for the situation to improve, or wishing for somebody to help her, none of those matched Sophie’s personality.

Just like the promise she told her friend in her younger days.

She would walk straight to the destination her heart chose with her own feet.

Christina looked ahead after hearing Sophie’s words.
Her lips quivered slightly, but then quickly steadied.
As the person who was more beautiful than anyone else replied to Sophie with “I see…” the silence continued with neither of them talking.

Sophie didn’t find the silence between them awkward.

On the contrary, she felt it would be a precious page of her life that she could never experience again.
