Lazy and Emotionless NEET In An Otome Game As A Villainess!

Chapter 6 Pt 2

# Sometimes, you just need to be ignorant of your problems and let loose to have fun #

She stood there basking in the warm sunlight, she was looking out towards the forest from her garden. Yes, hers. Her father seemed to catch on her love of going to the gardens in parties, ahem to avoid nobles ahem.

And at the end, he insisted on making a garden beside her room, as well make a pathway to there that is easily accesed.

Meanwhile with her father, he was trying to persuade his recently adopted son, Kody to talk to Caramel, but when he brought up Caramel's name he just shivered in fear and ran away.

He kept subtly persuading him, but not force him, because Aster didn't want him to be uncomfortable.

"So you are you ready now?" Aster asked after he tried to reassure him that his sister is different than the other noble ladies.

And it was as if Kody was possesed, he nodded vigorously without hesitance.

"There might be a chance." He muttered below his breath, his 'father' not hearing it.

His father then took the kid's little soft hands as he melted in its softness. But there was bo doubt in his mind that his daughter's hand was the softest!

He lead the shy kid to his daughter's location, her garden. Kody looked to see a beautiful girl in a beautiful garden, saying he was amazed was an understatement.

He was beyond amazed, the girl seemed so elegant yet so cute wearing a simple dress as she chomped on a cookie. The garden didn't pale in comparison, it was as if the greens was shining and the flowers are sparkling.

And all her  favourites are there too. Kody looked at it in nostalgia. Before, he would be smiling as he talked to her  in glee.

But now he is all alone.

All alone in this world.

"Mel, His name is Kody, this boy here is going to be your brother. He is youbger than you so take care of him." That sentence from his father snapped him out of his daze.

"Hn. Let's get along." She said as she focused her sight to the forest once again, watching the rustling of the leaves and how the wind calmly breezes and moves the leaves ever so slightly.

She seemed so emerged to it. She then took out her sketchbook and started to sketch with the mysthical forest with her pencil.

And that style, he knew he is right about it. There is no way he would doubt, that that was her style of drawing.

But how could it be her, she left him-no he left her a long time ago. No. It could just be someone that draws similarly. But her style was so distinct, it was just pure unluckiness that the girl has the same rare style as hers. Or was it luckiness?

He unconciously spoke out her name a bit too loudly, Aster was confused at the random name, meanwhile Caramel jerked around to see the person.

"... who?" Caramel asked, her eyes was clouded and teary. Aster glared at the kid menacingly.

He repeated out of peer pressure of Aster's glare.

"...who are you? I- She- isn't in this world." Caramel asked in shock, and it seems like a serious matter, seeing that Caramel is speaking out more words than usual. And she stammered.

Aster seems to slowly understand it. Finally.

"Who are you- How do you know her." He glared at Caramel, the shy kid was no longer there.

"Answer my question first!" The girl snapped out in tears now, Aster just looked at him.

"My name was Hugo Licorice. I was her friend." He stared at her, his eyes has a tint of sadness. "Now answer my question." He requested, more like demanded.

"Of course I know her. Because I am her. Hugo, I am so sorry for your death. I couldn't even do anything, it was all my fault.." She said as tears clouded her vision, she couldn't even smile and greet him like always.

"...." Kody,  or you can call him Hugo, was beyond happy, his happiness reached it's peak. But he frowned when he saw she was blaming herself. He hugged her and squished her cheeks.

"Hey! Don't cry in our reunion. rUdE." He pouted childishly, as the girl was shocked at his response, but she was used to it. She knew him for years after all. She laughed a little and hugged him back as she nodded.

"Come on!! Less gooo! Give me a tour around the house!" His energy was afffecting her as she nodded and smiled sadly. She then lets him drag her around.

"Just once." She mumbled softly, but not a person caught it. Well someone did. But he couldn't be called a human nor a person.

"My child, you can be ignorant of the consequences for once and have fun." The figure smiled and said.

Or so he says.
