Came Back to Break Up

This place became a powerful nation through progressive science and technology,

but strong class divisions and outdated customs still remain.

Great Rebon.

Elizabeth Clermont, a princess who had lived her whole life in a rural estate that clung to the most old-fashioned ways even within Rebon, comes to the capital when the manor falls.

A steam locomotive, buildings packed tight together, the filthy smell of sewage—

In that noisy cityscape, she falls in love at first sight with the boy she meets there, Kei Harker.

But Kei only looks down on her.

“Can a young lady of noble birth not even understand the same language as her own countrymen?”

“Please give me Kei Harker, that insolent bastard.”

Using her power as a princess, Elizabeth marries Kei,

clinging to the hope that perhaps his contempt might change into love...

“I thought you were ungrateful. How dare you take the money I and my father gave you, while secretly plotting things behind our backs with your family.”

That was Kei’s testimony, which destroyed Elizabeth’s family home on the accusation that they were socialists.

Broken by her husband’s betrayal, Elizabeth wanders the streets and is involved in an accident,

then is saved by a doctor wearing a crow mask called Teacher El.

***

Teacher El is pursuing a monster called Mollow.

Elizabeth helps him and ends up being bitten by Mollow.

She has only six months left to live.

Teacher El sends the dying Elizabeth back 18 months, to the only point in time when there was still a cure left.

The past Elizabeth returns to is ten days before her marriage to Kei.

Now what she must do is find Teacher El and obtain the Mollow cure.

And end her engagement to Kei Harker.

“I decided that I should stop loving the things that no longer love me, Kei Harker.”

At that moment, Kei falls into a deep swamp of remorse.
