I don't want to be a villainess, I just want to be a "NORMAL" lady

Chapter 17

The hand that is gentle caressing my head is comfortable.

「Oh my, good morning. Sleepyhead-san」

Mother, you are lovely even while I am half-asleep. You are a perfect beauty no matter how I look.

「Kaatama, mowning...」

N? Huh? Did I cry myself to sleep?? Was I carried in another room? Mother, I slept with my head on your lap, are you all right (in a physical way of meaning)!?

「How long did I sleep fo?」

「For about an hour? Let's blow the candles in front of everyone and have a merry birthday」

「My... is Rosalia's birthday different from mine?」

「Ufufu, it's Rosarin's birthday. You have become Rosarin today, so let's celebrate」

「... Yes」

Taking Mother's hand, I let myself be obediently led to the dining room. Mother really became strong in this one month. She doesn't look like someone who used up all of her strength before reaching the entrance hall in the past.

「Oh, she's here. The leading actress is here~」

Arc noticed me and instructed Dan to carry the cake in.

「Come here」

I got escorted by Elder brother. At the so-called birthday girl seat, I blew out the candles.

「Congratulations!」

I was told celebratory words by everyone.

「Rosarin, this is my present to you. It was so sudden so I could only get this, but it's my birthday present for you」

Elder brother gave me a bookmark of flower. Is it handmade?

「I am vewy happy. I will treat it pweciously」

I hugged the present with a whole-faced smile.

「This is from me」

「So cute! Thank you, Kaatama」

Mother gave me a new ribbon. It's red with an embroidery of white Suzuran. It is clearly a hand-made item. After staring at it for long, Mother spoke while embarrassed.

「It's embarrassing so don't stare at it that much. Kaasama did her best, but there are many distorted parts」

「Eh? Kaatama is amazing. I was stawing because the wibbon is supel pwetty. I will take a good cawe of it」

「Here you go, this is from me」

I received a potted flower that was emitting a gentle light from Sui. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this a rare magic plant...?

「Isn't this Magchelia?」

「Indeed」

A flower that dispels curses. I, I will raise it carefully.

「Please teach me how to waise it, okay?」

「Leave it to me」

Sui gladly took me up on my request. E, Elder brother looks jealous. Let's raise it together with Elder brother. It seems that Tom Jiisan wants in the group as well. L, let's look after it with everyone!

「Here, from me!」

What Hal gave me was a beautiful blue stone. Boys seem to like pretty blue stones, don't they?

「Thank you, Hal」

Arc peeked at the stone in my hands.

「... Can I take a look?」
