Pretending to Be a Girlfriend？ 54

Chapter 54 – Let Me Introduce You to My Girlfriend (6)

Seeing Elzain blushing after eating the meat Stachis had cut, Lily couldn’t bear to be scolded any longer.

“Elzain is a baby, a baby. Huhu.. He’s cute.”

A slightly cold voice woke Rose, whose heart was beating so hard that she couldn’t even taste it.

“If eating alone is hard, can I cut it for you?”

It was her own inner meaning that she couldn’t do anything by herself.
Ask for water, cut the meat and feed her… Lily wondered where the hell did she find a bitch like this.

Lily knew that it wasn’t because she couldn’t do them alone, but that she was just messing around, but now she started talking about common sense.

‘Cutting around at the table is a table etiquette I learned somewhere.’

With a whimper, Lily stabbed the meat in front of her nervously, secretly expressing her dissatisfaction.
My chest was stuffy.

Rose was embarrassed again by Lily’s playful words.
In fact, he was living as a nobleman.

As a woman who wants to enjoy freedom and escape from restraints,
You should be able to do many things alone…

Unlike myself, all the people in this space were people who lived their lives doing their part.
No matter how much he was in charge of accounting for the Nicesty family, it was possible because everything was based on the Nicesty family.

Even if the previous events didn’t happen because I really needed help.
The words themselves were painful for her.

“It’s okay, sister.”

Embarrassed, Rose blushed and took a sip of her wine.

But Lily wasn’t relieved.
I was a bit nervous and couldn’t resist the urge.

She wanted Elsaine to stop flirting with her unrequited love, even in front of her eyes.

“The sesame seeds are pouring. But there’s plenty of time to flirt later, so do it then. Let’s start eating now.”

At Lily’s good advice to start with a meal, Rose looked at her with a bashful smile.

But Lily didn’t make eye contact.
His expression also hardened.
Something seemed offended.

‘…?’

Rose felt strange again.

I don’t know why, but I felt that feeling when talking to nobles.
An aristocrat’s way of speaking as if he were hiding his inner feelings.
I feel like I have to figure out what it means.

Stachis smiled shyly and asked.

“Ahaha.. I’m sorry, older sister. Were we a little harsh?”

“When I eat, chicken meat keeps growing. I am very envious.”

At the same time, Lily looked at Elzain coldly.
Rose looked up at Lily and their eyes met.
I had a strange feeling that only people who met eyes could know.

“If you’re jealous, make your sister a boyfriend too.”

“…You have to have someone you like to go out with.”

Rose continued to watch Lily closely.

At Stachis’ words, Lily’s eyes glanced at him, then went back to the bowl.

“…Uh?”

Rose realized something in her and let out a silly noise.

“Elsaine?”

Starchis heard her rose’s voice and saw her.
For some reason, every time she acted like this she wondered what she had done wrong. Her heart throbbed.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, no. No.”

Rose looked at Russ and Lily, who puzzled her.
She must have been mistaken, she thought.

She had already heard rumors about Stachis, but they didn’t like him.

Rose spoke to Starches, changing the subject in her natural way so as not to create an awkward atmosphere for her.

“Try the starches and garnishes together. It’s delicious.”

She said, pointing to the mashed potatoes next to her steak.

“..Well? Okay?”

Stachis deliberately gave a bright answer to hide his agitation.
Actually, he didn’t like potatoes.

When he sat down on the street in hunger, he ate various potatoes, such as rotten potatoes, discarded potatoes, and stone-like raw potatoes, to survive.

He didn’t even take it from his body after that, and when he ate potatoes, he didn’t want to because it seemed that the depressed mood at that time also came to mind.

“Starches don’t like potatoes.”

Vienne suddenly interrupted.

“Uh? Is that so?”

At her words, Rose asked Stachis.

“…Actually… Yes. I used to get sick from eating when I was little..”

“Ah. That’s right. Would you like me to eat it instead?”

“..Is it a pig?”

Bien grumbled and asked.

Starchis suddenly changed his mood and asked coldly.

“… Bien, are you kidding me?”

Bien is started by his voice.
Instead, Rose laughed because it was funny.
It looked like a surprised little animal.

She didn’t even say anything that hurt much.
And it was good that Stachis stepped up and stood up for him, so he didn’t have negative feelings.

Even the cold starches…
Gulp.
Looking up at him, Rose swallowed again.

Bien is visibly embarrassed by her, she says.

“It’s all a joke, of course! Why, why are you angry…”

Starchis laughed.

“Are you kidding? Hey been. Play those pranks after you get to know each other a bit.”

“It’s okay, Starches. And Bien, it’s actually because I’ve been taught not to leave food behind.”

Looking at Stachis, Bien is quiet

“..Huh.”

After saying that, we went on to eat again.

And seeing Rose like that, Starchis was surprised once again.
The Nisty family has a lot of money, but they were taught not to leave food behind.
I felt how correctly her hyannisti had made up her mind to raise her.

“Okay? That’s great.”

Stachis spoke to her with genuine admiration for her.

Rose shrugged her shoulders.

“But it’s not even that good. There were many times when I was full, but I had to forcefully pass it over, and then I really felt like I couldn’t eat it, so if I left it, I had to continue eating it the next day.”

Then Rose realizes something about her for a moment and shakes her hand.

“Ah! It wasn’t because there was plenty to eat at home, but when I was young, I tended not to eat much.”

‘The secret education was strict.’
Stachis thinks.

“Still, isn’t it because you studied so severely that you have the current Elsaine?”

“If you think so… Thank you again. Hehe. Shall I take the potatoes?”

“Yes. I would be grateful if you did.”

“By the way, Mr. Starchis, how did you get sick after eating potatoes? Can I ask if you don’t mind?”

“I just… Ate something rolling around on the street, not knowing that it had sprouts.”

“Rolling on the road?”

“I didn’t have much to eat at the time. It’s not exactly indigestion, it’s food poisoning… Maybe that’s why I’m not feeling well. I can eat but… “

Starchis made a slightly confused expression.

“In addition…?”

“If you eat it again, it reminds you of the sad memories of being hungry in the past. Now that I can eat as much as I want, I think I can laugh it off, but it doesn’t work out easily because it’s a memory from when I was young. Those feelings come back vividly when you eat only potatoes.”

“… Is that so?”

Rose looked at him with a sad expression.

“Right. If it hadn’t been for my brother, I might have died long ago.”

“… Thank you for telling me.”

“Until I’m grateful.”

“I… Complained and struggled, saying I couldn’t eat because there was so much food, but I’m getting embarrassed…”

“No. It’s hard to be hungry, but it’s just as hard to eat something you don’t want to eat. Look, I would have a hard time if someone forced me to eat potatoes, right?”

The dining table was filled with conversation between the two of them.
The three women had already heard the story, so there was no time to intervene.
It just seemed like they were on the outside.

In terms of numbers, there are more people who say 2 to 3 than people who don’t.
It would have been Stachis and Elzain, who were talking separately, that were practically out of the way, but
Still, they didn’t feel that way.

When there was a meal like this, Starchis’ interest shifted one by one,
Right now, Elsaine was monopolizing his attention.

And it didn’t seem like his attention would shift elsewhere.

“Thank you for saying that, Starchis.”

“But really. The hardest part of each is-“

– Took.

‘?’

Stachis said as he felt someone touch his leg.

It was always Vien alone who did this.
If there is something you want to say at a dinner table, or if you have a complaint but find it difficult to say something,
Bien always reached his foot under the table and hit his leg.

“…There is a difficult point.”

As she finished, he secretly checked Vienne.
She might have wanted to convey something she couldn’t because Elza was there.
If there was anything that could be solved for a smooth meal, I tried to solve it.

But Bien wasn’t looking at him.
Grabbing her food, she turned her head slightly to the side.

Because Bien didn’t have anything in particular to say to him.
She was just dissatisfied that her attention was completely focused on Elza, so she was just trying to get his attention.

“I’ll take the mash potatoes for now?”

Rose reached out her fork and knife and took the garnish from Starch’s bowl.
He also moved her bowl slightly to her side so that she could take it more easily.

With a single gesture, Rose effortlessly took the mashed potatoes from his bowl.

“Oh, take it very neatly-“

– Took.

Again a signal from Bien.

“…Are you taking it?”

“Ehehe.. I’m only good at these things.”

After Rose was distracted by her bowl for a moment, Starchis looked back at Vienne.

This time she met her eyes.

Starchis raised her eyebrows and asked with her eyes.

-‘Why, Bien?’

After making eye contact with Starchis, Peek turned his head.
Seeing her eye contact and receiving his attention, even if it was only for a brief moment, seemed to alleviate her dissatisfaction.

“?”

Stachis, on the other hand, was getting bewildered.

He looked around.
I searched for something that might be bothering her.
There was nothing.

And Rose was also puzzled by Starchis looking around like that.

‘Why are you like that?’

But he will have his own thoughts.
If you need anything, I will tell you.

She left him for a while.

Starchis looked at Bien again and questioned her with her eyes.

‘What’s wrong, Bien?’

Rose, who had been watching him, also secretly looked at Vienne following Stachis.
Bien was acting out.

Stachis eventually gave up and raised his glass to take a sip of wine.

Rose hurriedly followed him and raised her glass.

The other three women also wanted to raise a glass together, but

‘Ah.’

Russ let out a sigh and checked her own glass, which was already empty.
It was the same with Lily and Bien.

I was upset and drank the wine too quickly.

“Uh. Everyone’s cup is empty. Let’s empty this and have another drink.”

“Okay.”

Rose smiled and matched her glasses with Staches.
Just the two of us like a couple.

– Took.

“Uh?”

And this time, it was Rose who felt the touch of Vienne.

“Oh!”

Accidentally hit Elzain’s leg, not Stachis’ leg.

Bien exclaimed as she felt her touch her.

The place where Rose’s legs were not accidentally reachable.
A distance that someone would have to stretch out their legs to reach.

As if to prove it, the part of her that she felt aroused was around her knee.

She put her glass down for a moment and glanced at her slightly under her table.

Bien’s legs of her were hurriedly returning to their places.

“BNC?”

“Hmm…! Hmm!”

Vienne said she behaved as if she had been caught doing something mean.
She wasn’t the only one floundering.

Stachis also choked while drinking wine.

Rose, who looked at the two of them alternately, understood Starchis’ behavior earlier.
Bien keeps touching her starch. She just accidentally touched herself.

Again, the strange feeling from before.

‘All three?’

Rose looked at the three women with a hard face.
Nonetheless, it was still suspicious.

Maybe it’s just because of those personalities.
She might be wary of herself taking the seat next to her old friend her.

I needed something to be sure of.

‘How… Ah.’

Rose looked up at Starch seductively.
As she was singing Bien, she suddenly changed and looked at her Starchis, everyone focused on her next move.

Rose, scheming her her moment her, drank her wine and then she leaned on her Starch’s shoulder for a moment.

“Ha, today is so good.”

“..Okay? I’m glad.”

Unlike Starchis and Rose, who were relaxed, the three women were visibly agitated.

‘Ah. Also.’

Rose kept feeling tight in her chest.
I thought she was good people, but I thought that maybe not.
No, they are good people, but I thought they could be bad people to me.

Rose looked up at Staches.

“Why, Elsaine?”

My heart was pounding.
Even though she knew this was acting, she kept pounding.

I don’t know why, but when I heard the story of Starchis to match her words of her, they didn’t like Starchis.

She drew the line

But with the subtle emotions I feel now,
Judging from the conversational skills he honed while talking to nobles,
At least they liked him.

For a moment she thought.

Starchis felt the need for her girlfriend her enough to create a fake girlfriend.
She asked herself to play her fake girlfriend her.

What if…If she gets herself out of here.

When the obstacle called himself is removed, wouldn’t Starchis, who needs a girlfriend, and these beautiful women who like him naturally become lovers?

They are more beautiful than themselves.
They have a longer relationship.

‘…Is there any room for me to intervene?’

“Elsaine?”

It felt like my chest was being squeezed.
I didn’t like it.
As she was also a fake girlfriend, she had no right to interfere with him meeting anyone.

Even so…

She looked up at Starchis and put her hand in his ear her and whispered a whisper.

“…Mr. Starchis, when I’m done talking, please laugh for a while and go to the bathroom. It will take a while.”

‘?’

Starchis was puzzled by her request her, but he could n’t help but comply.
Because Rose is on her own team.

“Elzain, don’t be mean here-“

Even though Lily had already said it once, she seemed to be ignoring her, but when she saw Elza flirting with her again, she hated her even more.

She was crying and tried to stop her without realizing it

“Ahahahaha!!!”

It was interrupted by Starchis’ laughter.

“Ah, that is so funny. Oh wait? Can I go to the bathroom?”

It’s awkward, but that’s how he avoided the seat.

As he leaves, silence sets in.
No one speaks and only awkward air flows.

Rose slowly looked at Russ, Bienne, and Lily.
This is not the first time the conversation has been tense.
It was the same place as her hometown her, which she had experienced many times.
But this time it was slightly different.

They keep getting more beautiful than anyone else,
Standing alone, it seemed as if they would take Starchis away from them.
It was somehow scary.
She swallowed her saliva.

“Everyone. Let me ask you one thing.”

Her cold gaze is fixed on her.
It was a different look from when Starchis was there.
Gradually, her suspicions that she became certain.

“Starchis-…No. Do you like my boyfriend?”

Rose thought of the next words.

She has no right to say things like this to her.
She knew

Because it’s fake
Because the obstacle is yourself.

But I wanted to.
Her desire her for him slowly blooms in her heart.
She allowed me to say this.

“If so, please give up.”

She speaks in a strong tone.

“It’s a waste.”
