Chapter 54:Ā Human Distrust and Master of Dance
<hr>
Ā
After that, I went to the snack table while being surrounded by Ricardoās friends and snacked for the first time in several years.
The taste of cake after 2 years of abstinence was very sweet and delicious.\nĀ
(Even so, itās so blatant.)
Ā
While I watched Ricardoās friends, I felt complicated.
Ā
(Somewhat, I was treated harshly before I lost weightā¦ but the difference of treatment is completely 180 degrees as soon as I lost weight.)
Ā
It was me myself that wanted to diet, but now I felt a little distrust towards humans.
Without noticing it, I picked the sweets placed on the table one after another and unconsciously placed them in my mouth.
Ā
(So happyā¦ dangerous, my hands stretched towards the food because of stress!)
Ā
Eating to forget the memory when something unpleasant happened was a bad habit of Britney.
I didnāt remember well since I was young at that time, but when my parents disappeared, I heard that I ate a lot of sweets, as if trying to comfort the painful feelings.
Ā
[Britney, youāre just standing there for some time, are you alright?]
[Iām fine, since Iām trained by ojii-sama.]
Ā
Among them, only Ricardo who interacted with me normally could be trusted.
Ā
(A-a, it would be easier if I could get engaged with Ricardo. But it would be difficult since Iām rejected twice already.)
Ā
He is the second son, and in the manga he was a follower of the crown prince Marlow.
Although there may be a rumour of him succeeding the neighboring territory of Astaire Earldom, it was still uncertain whether itās true or not.
After a while, Ricardoās friends scattered until itās just the two of us again.
I asked a nearby waiter to arrange tea and sat on one of the many chairs that were prepared.
Ā
[Naa, Britney.]
Ā
Looking downwards a little, Ricardo opened his mouth and called in a curt tone. His ears were slightly red.
Ā
[N? What?]
[Thatā¦ somewhat, you seem different today. How to say, you look beautiful.]
Ā
What was that!
It seemed that Ricardo was fooled by the make-up.
But since I didnāt want to lose my friend to a make-up fraud, I told him the truth.
Ā
[What are you saying? Itās because of the power of make-up fraud that I look like a beautiful girl.]
Ā
When Ricardo heard it, he almost unintentionally spurted out the tea heās drinking.
Ā
[ā¦Fraud?]
[Yes, my original appearance is not as good-looking as Ryuzeās. So I boost it up to the maximum using cosmetics.]
[No, butā¦ is it something that can be done with just make-up alone?]
[If you canāt believe it, would you like me to show you my naked face next time?]
Ā
Ricardo lost his words.
Ā
[ā¦That, thatās fine. After this, the dance starts, what are you going to do?]
[Thatās right, Iām not very good at dancing. Iām a little better than I used to, but Iām not confident in it. I wonder if I should just keep still at the corner.]
Ā
Anyway, Iām a woman that broke the leg of my dance teacher back at the past. I didnāt want for new victims to appear.
Ā
[It will be difficult to keep still. You seem to be attracting a great deal of attention and you will absolutely be called out.]
[Uee, I shouldnāt have done the cosmetics fraud.]
