Yes, I know.
This must be how I appear now.
I should have died, but for some reason when I had opened my eyes, I had become a teenage girl.

I tried my best to understand everything, but I could not make myself accept the pair of bunny ears on my head. 

In addition, I had died in a deserted alleyway, but now I was in a school dormitory.
Where the hell is this place?

“Aris! What are you cooking up in there? Everyone is waiting for you!”

Suddenly the door opened and a girl with brown hair and brown rabbit ears barged inside.

“For me?”

As I made a puzzled expression, the large eyes of the brown-haired rabbit grew bigger and bigger.

“What are you doing, still not dressed? I will help you, since we don’t have much time!”

“Wait….”

With her help, I was able to wear a women’s uniform.
A black uniform with a red pleated skirt.
Leather boots.
A rapier on the waist.
Except for the skirt, the uniform is pretty similar to my original outfit.

“Oh, and this!”

The brunette put a large black brim hat with feathers over my head.
There were already two holes pierced in the brim hat, so the rabbit ears could be pulled out of the hat.

“How pretty!”

As the brown-haired rabbit said, I was really pretty.
It’s not that the brunette was ugly, she was definitely pretty, but I couldn’t help but notice how prettier I was.

 “Okay! Let’s hurry! We don’t have time for makeup!”

The brunette bunny dragged me outside.
When I rushed through the hallway getting dragged, the women with bunny ears and bipedal men let us through while murmuring amongst themselves.

 “Are they on their way now?”

 “Is she not scared?”

 “I don’t think that’s the case, looking at her expression or the state of her ears??”

 “Then what is it?”

 “She’s comfortable?”

I could hear everything, due to the bunny ears.
But looking at the atmosphere, I could tell that some important event was happening, I just wasn’t sure what.

 “Where are we going?”

 “Where do you think it is? Of course the exam room!”

 “Exam? What exam?”

 “Why are you so clueless all of the sudden? Your graduation exam! I said several times that you have to make up for it in this graduation exam if you want to graduate!”

Graduation exam? At that moment, something came to mind.
This sounded exactly like the contents of a children’s book called ‘Jarrod the Rabbit Hero’.
But Jarrod was the male protagonist.
Then wait… a rapier with this look? So, am I the nameless female rabbit who appeared as a matchup for Jarrod’s graduation exam?

Although the story was so terrible that the book had better use for kindling a fire, and she was only the nameless female matchup, the confident attitude that she held despite her lack of skills was enough to make me hold admiration for this character who I really liked. 

Of course, I had never mentioned that I liked this book because of my reputation, and using a fake name ‘Aris,’ I had repeatedly written letters to the presumed address of the storybook author to make a supplemental story about this female character…wait?

 “Hold it right there.”

I stopped the girl who was dragging me.

 “Why? I told you we are late!”

 “You called me Aris earlier, right?”

Then the girl looked at me like she was speechless.

“You are still out of your mind! ‘Aris Wafer’! It’s your name!”

This meant that the nameless female rabbit was given my pseudonym, and my dead self was in the storybook?

 “No, this is….”

 “You can tell me a story later!”

In the midst of feeling like losing my mind, I had already followed the brown rabbit to the front of the match field.

“You are late.”

The rabbit standing in front of me was a gray bunny, but he must have been the one called the ‘Tiger Bunny Teacher’ due to his temper, Jeffield. 

 “We are so sorry! I think she’s a little nervous”

The brown haired rabbit came up with an excuse for me.

“No.
I don’t think that’s the case? Aren’t the ears of Aris still standing tall as we speak?”

Jeffield pointed out my ears.

“No, that’s because…”

The brown haired bunny tried to take my side as if this was her concern, but as Jeffield sent out a hand signal, she stopped talking. 

“Nevermind, Annie.
There is no need for you to explain to her.
You are still a troublemaker, Aris.”

This rabbit was the teacher who supported and advised Jarrod everyday.
In the novel, he had an image of a strict yet warm character, but he was especially mean towards me. 

“I honestly don’t understand that you are taking the graduation exam.
You have been a troublemaker since the beginning of the school year.
You never even paid attention in class because you were so obsessed with your so-called rapier or poking stick thin
