Chapter 792: Oh Hey Girls, This Guy's Been Spreading Rumours
Since she had already run off… I didn’t really have any reason for me to stay here so I also left the place as well…
Only to have a waitress stop me by blocking the way.
“What?” I asked, wondering if there was also a rule that stopped people from leaving while there was a performance going on?
The waitress then nodded at the table I had just vacated, “Are you thinking of dining and dashing?”
Ah… She hasn’t paid yet before she ran… Damnit…
And here she said that she was going to treat me to this dinner too…
Oh whatever, it’s not like I didn’t bring money on me anyway so I can pay for this first and look for her to ask for the payment later.
I paid for the meal which was not even one Crea before I left the inn behind.
Stepping outside, I took a moment to look around to see if she was anywhere to be found but unfortunately, it really seemed like she ran off and left me behind.
I wonder what brought about that kind of reaction from her though? All I did was explain to her that she was completely mistaken about what she thought about me.
Oh well.
Just as I was about to head for home, I saw movement in the corner of my eye and turned to see Odeta appearing from around the corner with Delmare on her back.
Delmare had even undid her transformation so her tail was on display.
“Eh? Odeta? Delmare? What are you doing here?” I asked, surprised that they were even here.
Delmare was the one who answered my question, “I… I heard from some of my classmates that the girl went to call you… I got worried so I asked Odeta to take me here.”
Odeta laughed, “Wahahahaha! What did I say, Delmare? Aster is completely fine, right? Nothing could hurt her!”
My Siren groaned, “Yes, I know, I know… But what did she want from you, Aster?”
I stuck my tongue out, “She wants you to be the lead singer in an idol group of hers.”
Delmare tilted her head, “Idol group? What’s that?”
“It’s basically a group of girls performing on stage where they would sing and dance in front of an audience.”
My siren frowned, “But… I don’t want to sing for anyone else, Aster…”
“I know, that’s why I told her that you weren’t interested. It seems like all this while she was trying to recruit you to join this group and thought I was holding you back.”
She pouted, “How could she even think of something as ridiculous as that?! You aren’t holding me back at all, Aster! In fact, it is only because of you that I can reach where I am today!”
Odeta was also quick to add in, “Me too! Me too! It’s also thanks to Sister Aster that I can be where I am today too! Wahahaha!”
I giggled, “Yes, yes. Thank you, girls. But I would have to cut her some slack because it seems like someone had been spreading false information about me. They were saying how I was a terrible student and a burden to the teachers which was why she had that idea.”
Almost instantly, the atmosphere around the two changed as their features darkened.
“Who would do something as stupid as that?” Odeta asked.
“What did this person say?” Delmare added after her.
I waved my hand casually, “It’s no big deal. I don’t think either of you even know who he is anyway.”
“Please tell us, Aster,” Delmare pleaded.
I wondered why they would be so interested but I decided there wasn’t really a problem with telling them anyway.
“He’s one of the first year students, specifically a student named Bracca. He was the one who spread those rumours about me apparently.”
Odeta frowned, “Why would he do something like that?”
“Apparently… He has a crush on Lisa and saw me as an obstacle I guess?”
“Is he stupid?”
Oof… I didn’t think Odeta would say it so bluntly like that…
I shrugged, “I would say that he’s misguided instead.”
Delmare gave me a serious look, “What do you intend to do about him, Aster?”
I tilted my head, “Err… Nothing? It’s not like it really affects me anyway. The rumours would undoubtedly clear itself up later since Lisa already has plans to deal with him.”
The moment they heard that Lisa had plans for him, they relaxed and nodded at each other.
“In that case, shall we go back home then, Aster?” Delmare asked, her face suddenly all smiles as compared to earlier.
“That’s where I was planning to go before the both of you appeared,” I admitted.
Hearing that, Delmare reached out her hands towards me and started waving them around.
I realised what she wanted and went over to Odeta so that I could take Delmare off her back and into my arms instead.
Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r
Odeta seemed to have already expected this since she even bent herself lower just to shorten the distance between Delmare and myself.
Delmare was quick to jump off the Amrap’s back and into my outstretched arms, the Siren letting out a giggle as I caught her.
Then before I could even start walking, I found myself lifted up by Odeta, the Amrap gleefully cradling me in her arms while Delmare was in mine.
“Are we seriously doing this?” I groaned.
Delmare gave me a peck on the lips, “What’s wrong with that, Aster? This is fine right?”
I gave her a kiss back and sighed, “This looks so weird you know?”
Odeta grinned at me, “What do you mean, Sister Aster?! This is perfectly normal!”
This is most definitely not normal… Look, everyone we’re passing by is giving us odd looks. Even those students that… Oh wait…
I realised that one of the onlookers was Haddock, the first year student who, for some reason, really didn’t like me even after I showed him and his posse that I was not some weak idiot clinging on to Odeta’ side.
Beside him were the same group of his posse but it looks like he was the only one who spotted me so far.
His eyes were as wide as saucers as he watched Odeta carry me away from the inn and when his eyes met mine, his face instantly turned into one that was undoubtedly of contempt.
Ugh… Don’t need to give me that look, it’s not like I’m really happy to see you either.
I was really hoping that we could just leave and go our own separate ways but obviously he didn’t have the same idea as I did since he immediately approached us.
Odeta didn’t even notice the boy walking up to us until he stopped in front of her.
Hilariously, Odeta didn’t even stop or look at him and merely just stepped around him to continue walking, treating him like just a stranger that happened to be in the way.
The boy widened his eyes at the action but recovered and quickly overtook us to block the way again.
Odeta finally realised that the person blocking our way on purpose and stopped to look down at the shorter student.
“What are you doing?”
“Sis.. Senior Odeta! What is she making you do?!”
Odeta blinked at him and frowned, “Who are you?”
Oh damn, Odeta… Did you forget your own classmate? I’m pretty sure you’ve even met this guy in class yesterday, didn’t you?
The boy’s eyes widened and he immediately threw an accusatory glance at me.
What? Did you think I fed her a memory wipe potion or something?
“Did you feed sister Odeta a memory wipe potion?!” He accused.
Holy crap, he actually thought that I did…
I didn’t even need to respond because Delmare spoke up in my stead, “Are you crazy?”
The boy finally noticed the Siren that I was carrying in my arms and he narrowed his eyes at her, “You… You’re also one of those girls that were brainwashed…”
What in the flying fuck? What kind of rumours is that guy spreading around this place?
Delmare was obviously offended by his comment, “What did you just say?”
He pointed a finger at me, “She’s brainwashing all of you with weird potions! I heard that she brews weird potions and feeds them to you!”
I would have face palmed but my hands were full with Delmare so I settled for rolling my eyes at him instead.
Odeta wasn’t having any of that and she hefted both Delmare and me on one arm before she used her other hand to pick up the boy by his collar so that he was eye level with her.
“You… Don’t come near any of us or even look at Sister Aster again. Or else I will break your arm, understand?”
She didn’t even wait for him to reply before dropping him to the side where he fell on his haunches, a stupid look on his face.
Odeta huffed before she stormed off, not even giving a second glance back.
Damn Odeta… That’s hot… I wanna fondle your abs now.
