The Bride of the 7 Great Sins
Chapter 01 - Memory Loss
A few pieces of faint memories twisted within his dream.
At that time, he was on a train that was traveling on the tracks. In front of him was a girl, they were sitting in the same carriage room.
Then another memory showed about how the girl was standing in front of him to protect him from the monsters that suddenly appeared.
A girl bathed in black blood from facing dozens of monsters, it was a sight she could not possibly see if she did not move to another world.
“I only protect you because of duty, nothing more. So please don't make it difficult for me.”
The glare of his sharp eyes instilled fear into the heart. But because of that, he realized that the girl was lonely as well as she was.

The sound of ticks and clocktocks could be heard filling the void of the room. Amidst the silence, for no particular reason a black-haired man woke up from his dream.
Still lying in bed, her pair of blue eyes blinked several times. He tried to recognize the ceiling opposite him until a question accidentally came out of his mouth.
“I ... Where is it?”
The man did not know in whose room he had just woken up. The bed he was lying on was wide enough to be followed by a soft cotton pad, not like his own that he recognized.
He then rose from his position to look around more clearly and analyze the situation.
Now he is in a private room. The walls are painted in plain white while the curtains used to decorate the windows are pink with floral motifs.
Dressing tables, cabinets with decorations and colors suitable for women, study tables, and rows of beautiful dresses in the corner of the room. The furniture looks like it's for girls from a classy family.
“Why am I here?”
Confused by what he found, the young man tried to remember what he had experienced before.
However, his head was like a broken television. No one was pictured to explain why he was in a woman's room.
“Did I faint in the middle of the road or something and be helped by someone?”
The young man threw a wild assumption. Then at that moment, he realized something had just moved nearby.
“…?”
Nearby, he found another mound under a blanket. It looks like someone is there.
With curiosity and fear mixed in, the young man pulled the blanket out of the bed to reveal the figure.
“…! A girl ...?”
He was quite surprised by what he found. The mound behind the blanket earlier turned out to be a girl sleeping in a sideways position.
As a result of the changes in lighting and ambient temperature that he was recording when the blanket no longer hid his body, the girl curled up and slowly began to wake up.
The girl opened her pair of golden-colored eyes and blinked them a few times, realizing that the morning had long since come.
His silky straight silver hair swayed gently as he moved to get up. His sleepy gaze was fixed straight on the young man before he yawned small and rubbed his right eye.
“Morning, Sister ...”
“P-Morning also ..”
Although he did not understand the situation, the man said the girl's greeting.
The girl looked so sleepy that she almost fell asleep again, but she forced herself to stay upright.
His gaze then turned straight back to the man before him. He realized that the man's gaze would not be separated from him.
“What's wrong, Brother?”
“T-No, it's just .. I want to know what happened until I ended up in your room. Is this your room?”
The girl nodded then explained :
“While others were having a party for us because we had fought until we were accepted into the academy, Brother was found unconscious in the park.”
“So …. Then what do you mean by ‘we are accepted in academy’?”
When he asked that, the girl who initially still felt sleepy went fresh. The girl was astonished.
“Why did Big Brother ask that?”
“If asked why, well .. because I don't remember anything about it. I also don't know who you are or what our relationship is until you don't mind me being in the same bed sleeping with you ...”
After hearing the explanation, the girl clamped her chin and started to think.
“Didn't Brother have amnesia? Does Brother remember Sister's name?”
“Emm, should be my name Airen.”
“Your life?”
“16 years, approaching 17.”
“Your home address?”
“Then I don't remember it. So often we move around the house because of my parents' work, I accidentally did not memorize the home address.”
Airen laughed dryly when talking about that. On the other hand, the girl clamped back her chin and pondered.
“Can be assumed Brother still remembers himself Brother, right so?”
“Yes. Maybe it's like that. I just can't remember why I was in this place. By the way, where am I?”
The question Airen made the girl silent for a while until Airen also felt confused.
“It ... is true, but that's not what I meant. How to explain it, yes ...”
Airen so dizzy made.
Then the girl got out of bed.
“I'll look for another one because they definitely understand more. Brother just wait here.”
“Iya?”
Before Airen realized it because he was busy thinking the right words for her question, the girl quickly disappeared out of the room and left Airen alone there.
“... He's gone instead. Though I still have many other questions.”
Now Airen doesn't know what to do. He scratched the back of his head and spread his gaze around.
“Waiting here, he said. Sounds like it's gonna be a long time. But I'm not allowed to go anywhere.”
Soon, the door opened again.
“Quickly once you return–”
Airen reflexively said so, but he quickly realized that the figure coming from behind the door was not the long silver-haired girl before.
“Halo, Airen~ Sarina came to see you, lho~”
From behind the door, another girl with a more cheerful personality and likes to put her voice on the edge stuck her body shoes into the room.
“Heh~ turns out you have indeed built~ Sarina's hunch is never wrong, ya~”
The girl walked into the room and began to approach Airen.
She is a girl with long black hair that some parts of her hair are red like her eyes. She also wears a blue ribbon that ties her hair on both sides.
When he got near Airen, the girl smiled sweetly.
“How are you doing?”
“My circumstances? Emm, I think it's fine.”
“Then thank goodness~”
After asking that, the girl looked at Airen. He seemed to be waiting for Airen to say something.
Airen turned his face to the side while scratching his cheek due to a slight misbehavior. When he found out what he could ask, Airen looked back at him.
“Can I be honest with you?”
“Of course can~ Sarina will hear it~”
Then Airen pensively chose the words to explain it.
“Looks ... I have amnesia. I don't remember what happened before. I can't recognize this place, then I also feel like I've never known you.”
“Once, ya~? Amnesia, yes~ ...”
The girl suddenly kept silent after saying so, making Airen slightly wonder.
“What's wrong?”
As Airen offended her, the girl returned to reality and shook her head.
“No, Sarina was just confused by what caused Airen to lose her memory. In the distant future this problem was never explained. Everyone seems to forget that Airen has lost his memory ...”
Again the girl dived into her own thinking. He muttered a few sentences that Airen did not understand very well.
“Oh, yes. Because Airen lost her memory, it means that Airen has never known Sarina, right? Then~ as an introduction, Sarina's full name is Sarina Claudia***~ For so on, Airen can count on Sarina~”
“I too, greetings. My name is Airen– But it seems like my introduction is not needed, huh?”
Airen laughed dryly saying that. Sarina who heard it also let out a small laugh.
Then Sarina looked around before returning to Airen.
“Chatting in our room like this feels uncomfortable, so how about Airen join Sarina for a walk around the residence~?”
“Out room?”
