Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 16

"Do you feel any better, Miss?"
"Yes."
"That's a relief. We'll start the beauty session whenever you want."
"Okay"
"Do you want some tea? Or hot chocolate? Or would you like some sweats? Maybe some cake? Or a fresh lemonade?"
"Is there green tea?"
"Sure! I'll make it right away"
*making tea*
"Why don't you use magic?"
"For what?"
"For everything. Cooking, making tea, repairing the tv, unpacking your things..."
"And why should I?"
"Because it's easier. Everybody would do it with magic if they could, so why don't you?"
"...If I can do them with my own two hands, I don't need magic. And it's always better if you do it manually. I don't care what the others say or do, as long as I'm okay with it, then it's fine."
"Are you not afraid of being criticized if a magician or wizard sees you doing chores without using magic?"
"From my point of view, hearing what other people's gossip and judge will only lead to depression. And I told you, as long as I'm okay with it, then it's fine."
"..."
"Here's your green tea."
*smells* "...Did you put honey?"
"Yes! Honey is really tasty, so I thought it'd be a good mix, but I wasn't sure..."
"You're trying something new with me?"
"I, I DON'T MEAN IT IN A BAD WAY! It's just that you have good taste, so maybe you could tell me if it tastes good or not"
"..."

Pfft. He's easy to tease. Nevertheless, I should stop.

"So how is it?"
"...Not bad."
"REALLY??? That's great!!!"
"...When I finish the tea, I want you to start the beauty session."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"As you wish, Miss"

...

1 hour and a half later...

"Done! So how is it?"
"Is this... me?"
"Yep! You look like a real goddess!"
"..."
"Will you please wait for me until I get ready?"
"...Yes"
"Thank you!"

...

15 minutes later...

"I'm done."
*dazed*
"Well then, let's go"
"..."
"Eumm... Miss?"
"Huh? What? Yes!"
"M'Lady, should we get going?"
"Yes. But before we go, I have a request."
"A request?"
"Yes. I want us to use telepathy from now on."
"Telepathy? Why?"
"It's better, especially for today"
"...Ah, I understand. Okay!"
*clack*
"M'Lady, do you want to go straight to the party?"
"No. I want to buy her a gift"
"From where?"
"You'll see."
"Okay"

...

At 7 o'clock, at the central park...

"Yamel, why are you taking me at the central park?"
"You'll see. Close your eyes"
"?"
"Now then, open your eyes"
*Monica opens her eyes*
"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY!!!!!!!!"
"Oh my god!!!!!"
"You like it?"
"I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! But how did you do all this?"
"It was a little bit hard, but we did it."
"Oh my god thank you!"
"We weren't sure if you have more friends, but we invited the ones we know"
"It's okay! I'm very happy with it!!"
"And these are your gifts."
"Wow~ all these???!!!! Thank you, but you didn't have to!"
*smile*
"Eum... Black Akari isn't here right?"
"Well-"
"Why? You don't want me to be here?"
*everyone turns*
"Hello, Monica. Happy birthday!"
"T-thank you."
"Sorry I'm late. Here, this is my gift."
"Oh... thanks."
*smile*
"Black Akari... who is he?"
"Oh yeah! I forgot to introduce him. This is my partner, Eluma."
"It's nice to meet you. My name is Eluma. Happy birthday Lady Monica" *kiss her hand*
"Thank you" *slightly blushing*
"Why is he here?"
"Yamel, refrain of talking with disrespect with Eluma, he's my partner."
"...He's your partner?"
"Yes."
"Black Akari, why are you with a partner?"
"They told me it's a couple party."
"Ah really?"
"Yess, we did it for you and Yamel"
"I see, thank you!"
"Why him?"
"None of your business."
"Yamel calm down, do it for Monica."
"..."
"Well then, let's start the party!"

*through telepathy*
"Yeah... let the party begin."
