Volume 1 Chapter 55 Mean Villainess, A Little Bit of Understanding
In the after-school recreation room, Leve's laughter echoed.
"'You knew everything, huh?' Lady said so."
"Yeah, sorry."
To conclude, Flora was indeed the very author of my favorite game.
And Flora knew that I was a fan.
She avoided me because she knew.
"That's just awful... she said"
"I'm sorry, Elena. But knowing how you praise her, I just couldn't come forward. It's embarrassing."
It's true, I wanted to praise her.
I wanted to praise her a lot.
But knowing everything and secretly laughing is just too cruel.
"But I can't help it; I love praising her, she said."
"I get where you're coming from. But Flora said she'd tell it herself someday, so I can't interfere."
"That's unfair, she said ...Still, I'm afraid it's about time you spoke up yourself, Lady. No, it's not impossible."
I came to the recreation room at Leve's invitation, but since the god was there, I was stuck to Rolus and couldn't move.
At the table where we always played, I sat Rolus down, then sat on his lap and buried my face in his neck.
Because I didn't have the courage to meet the god's gaze.
Leve spoke to me without caring about my condition, and Rolus translated what I was saying back to him.
"Um, uh, sorry for staying silent until now, Ms. Elena."
"...Lady. Ms. ...Uh, I apologize, Lady Flora, but Lady cannot speak human words right now. However, Lady is not angry, so please don't apologize."
"Haha, I never thought Elena would act like this."
"Don't laugh so carefreely, Lady said."
"But you are speaking human words..."
Leve is not a god or anything!
But I can't keep sticking to Rolus forever.
I have to tell something.
I don't know where to start, but thank you for making such a wonderful game, or I love the game you created, or I would be happy if you made more games in the future.
Throwing off the shackles of being an NPC.
"Since we've come all the way to the entertainment room, let's play a game. Elena is glued to Rolus, so it'll be me, Flora and Rolus."
"If you say it's unfair, how about you get off my lap first, Lady?"
Rolus said that and gently patted my back.
"You both seem really tense, so let's start with a simple card game to break the ice."
Listening to Leve's words, I slowly got off Rolus's lap and sat down in the chair next to him.
I should see the god in front of me, but I can't lift my face at all because of the tension and embarrassment.
I know I shouldn't just look down.
As I pondered when would be the right moment to look up, Flora suddenly spoke.
"You two really are very close, aren't you?"
When I looked up as if jolted by those words, Flora was looking at me and Rolus with a somewhat awkward smile.
"Um, well, I've been with Rolus since we were little."
My smile must be awkward too.
"It's rare, isn't it, to be so close with an Attendant?"
Leve is supporting the awkward pair.
"It really is rare. I'm originally a commoner, so seeing a noble and an Attendant together is something I've only seen with you two. At first, I thought it was normal."
I'm making the god feel uncomfortable...!
Even though I must have realized that, I couldn't find the right words and just forced a smile, and Leve chuckled.
"It really is rare."
"Is it really rare?"
"It is rare. I have Attendants at my house too, but we don't go shopping together."
Now that you mention it, I've never seen my parents and Elder Brother go shopping with an Attendant.
I see, it was rare for them to swing the Attendant around.
Only now do I realize.
"Um, actually, my biggest joy was that you both came to buy a game for me."
The god smiled shyly.
I'm grateful.
So very grateful.
"I-I also, my biggest joy was going to buy your game."
Flora's face, and probably mine too, turned bright red.
Since I was already red, I might as well confess now.
What I wanted to tell Flora.
"Ah, um, I've always wanted to say this directly, but I love the game you made."
"Ah, it's okay, I've been hearing it directly every time."
"That was just you asking on your own! Thank you for making such a wonderful game."
"Eek, thank you for playing it!"
Flora said this while covering her face with both hands.
Seeing this situation, Leve chuckled again.
"Flora is about to die from embarrassment, Elena."
"That's because it's the truth. Leve knows how much I love those games."
