Otome Game: I, The Heroine Will Be Your Savior! (GL)

Chapter 30: Orange Frozen Treats.



Chapter 30: Orange Frozen Treats.

 

The Villainess came out of her bathroom in her lovely nightgown the same design as the one Analissa was wearing, while the heroine has hers all loose hers was just right to the fit. 

 

She readies herself taking the brown paper bag, holding it at the bottom. 

 

She turns to take a look at Liara with her sisters now appearing behind her back. The head sister of the three was giving a bright smile and it made Lady Evelyn wonder what she was so happy about while she was in the bathroom?

However, she couldn't ask. It might be something not worth knowing.

"The three of you." The girl starts out giving a serious expression. "Will not disturb me while I talk to Miss Blanchet, will that be clear?"

 

The three maids felt something was off with milady today, Liara was the only one to notice how her lady would be having those little red tips of her ears blushing in color and understood the mission. Milady is shy and it is her duty to help her master.

"As you wish milady. We will not disturb your time together but do call for us when you might need our service." (Liara) curtsies and soon followed by the two sisters behind. While the other sister Melody was behaving well.

Nayeli couldn't help but snicker and mutter quietly. "Yes, do call for us when you need help. She might call Liara a scary lady with a scary spoon." 

Liara curtsied once more intentionally stepping on her little sister's foot. "..." 

Ow! Ow! Ow!

 

Her little sister managed to keep the pain in before their master would go on to open and close the door to the master's bedroom. 

 

With a loud squeak she entered and saw Miss Blanchet wearing the same nightgown as her... the side of her strap was falling a little. The little girl was holding the blanket telling her. 

"Welcome back, your ladyship." (Analissa) has been truly missing her all this time. The villainess in her room was something of a beautiful scene that the game hasn't introduced after all!

"Miss Blanchet, best to fix yourself. Your strap is..." (Lady Evelyn) pointed at her strap that was falling to her shoulders and made sure to not get flustered. They were both women, no need to get red. She'll only feel complicated about the matter.

"Oh-!" (Analissa) sees it and immediately fixes it. The villainess looked rather uncomfortable, so this really troubled our heroine. "Apologies I didn't notice it was already like that."

She was more focused on keeping her little gift well hidden as a surprise more than she took the time to look at herself in the mirror. 

"How are you?" (Lady Evelyn) would walk towards the bed, taking the chair beside her and sitting down. The brown paper bag full of oranges was put right above the bedside table. "Are you still experiencing dizziness? How about your cough? Liara did feed you and give you the medicine right?"

Analissa... wasn't expecting this kind of care and worry from the Villainess.

 

She wasn't even hiding her worry at this point and she... looked so adorable.

"I'm alright your ladyship, I feel rather strong now that Liara and I talked loads!" (Analissa) was of course, talking about the conversation from before. 

It felt so comforting that after telling the story of how she got stuck in the bathroom, Liara became her number one supporter on finding those bitches and giving them the punishment they deserve! "She's really kind!" 

Lady Evelyn nods in satisfaction hearing her story, it seems that Liara did a good job on keeping Miss Blanchet in a really good state. "That's good. I've already given our professors your letter of absence so your attendance will not be affected for any subjects that you've missed today." 

"I... had a letter of absence?" (Analissa) wondered from the word. So even magical schools have that. She doesn't recall ever making one in her sleep or when she had the cold. 

"I made it for you, think nothing of it. I had nothing else to do so might as well." (Lady Evelyn) looks away shyly not meeting her light blue eyes. "If... you lagged behind it would rather complicate things with our current partnership with the project. I wouldn't like the others to see you that way."

By the gods!

 

She's so! Considerate! Is she really living in the same world as the otome game that she swore of having a horrible plot and problematic characters?! The villainess was too- too! Urgh! 

"So... adorable..." (Analissa) covered her mouth and cried bitter tears. Her streamer side was showing out and prayed to buddha in thanks. Even if whatever deity sucked her up into the game at least the plot was changing for the Villainess!

Though, the matter of why it changed still rests on her mind. That every single one of her brain cells huddled up to think of the reason. There must be a rational and logical explanation as to why.

"If you would see our various dates and forms, the memory of Analissa meeting the Villainess was not good. The heroine in the game didn't acknowledge the villainess' wishes on leaving the crown prince alone." (Logical Brain cell) flicked her glasses up and remembered the memory so clearly.

The villainess was not the only one who changed, Lord Ein was one of them. 

 

"Oh and I guess we kind of ruined Lord Ein's route by insulting him, we also promised to give back the sword! Is that why he's being nice? The Heroine back in the game didn't do that and if we chose him we would've been his seatmate." (Normal Brain cell) pitched in and Logical Braincell agreed with her. 

 

Horny Braincell however clicked her tongue at the next character. 

The heroine was trying to figure out why they changed while the crown prince was still being obsessive and creepy. 

"That bastard had the nerve to pull our wrist when we told him no! Thankfully the villainess called out on him and took us away~ Ah! When will I ever get a medicine flavored Lady Evelyn?" (Horny Brain cell) twirled her feelings away and didn't really give a good pitch. She was just being horny.

"Though in the original plot, we didn't have a choice. The villainess literally scared the original heroine to run leaving the prince all alone. We didn't give him what he wanted still." (Logical Brain cell) calculated but still it wasn't enough. They needed to make a clear hypothesis and experiment.

"Miss Blanchet. Are you covering your mouth because you feel a cough incoming?" (Lady Evelyn) worriedly asked to see the girl in the same pose for more than a few seconds. 

 

Analissa noticed that she still had her hand over her mouth.

"Ah! Yes! Cough-! I still do have a slight cough-!" (Analissa) wasn't completely lying. She did have a slight cough but it just randomly comes and goes. It'll be gone by tomorrow so she was really looking forward to going to school. 

She's missed a lot of opportunities to learn more in class, maybe next time a trip to the library would be the next step.

Lady Evelyn frowns hearing that she still has a slight cough. 

"Here this might help with your cough." she takes something out of the brown paper bag as Analissa watches her hand reaching out to show a- 

"A-An actual orange?!" (Analissa) yelped in excitement seeing something ever so familiar and sweet to her taste. She's always loved the flavor of anything citrus whether it be lime, lemon or mandarin fruits! "Your ladyship where did you get these?!" 

Lady Evelyn saw the girl's eyes. The same glowing glitter excitement she can't explain, but she likes seeing her get excited over the smallest thing. 

Though, for someone like Analissa one of the top three things she loves comes in third are oranges so this was a huge thing.

The villainess takes the heroine's palm and opens it, she places the fruit between her hands smiling. "In a secret elven market. A professor helped me get these."

“A professor?” (Analissa) blinks looking at the fruit. 

The orange... was a little bruised but Lady Evelyn must've picked this for her so surely she did her best! "An elven market- what was it like?" (Analissa) asks, leaning a little closer to Lady Evelyn.

"It was very... curious to say the list. Not many humans are allowed and only a few are chosen." (Lady Evelyn) explained. Analissa looks down at the fruit.

"T-Then wasn't this a tiring trip to have- were you allowed to go inside?" (Analissa) asks, feeling guilty that Lady Evelyn got something like this for her. It made her feel a little disheartened on the gift she prepared for her under the blanket, it wouldn't compare.

 

"A trip like this was rather easy. Nothing would compare with the burden of being queen. Please don't worry Miss Blanchet. I assure you, this was nothing." (Lady Evelyn) reassures her and takes an orange for herself. "I actually haven't eaten one of these for a while." 

"Likewise... but these would be lovely as a frozen treat." (Analissa) would remember eating so many orange popsicles that turned her tongue orange back in her childhood days and even at the present time she was living before. "Sweet and cold is how I like them."

Lady Evelyn was surprised. How can a fruit like this be turned into... a frozen treat?

 

The villainess chanted something in her mind. 

To cover the orange in ice, below her hands there was the magic circle glowing. The ice crept slowly into all of the orange's edges until it was covered all in ice.

"W-Wow..." (Analissa) watched the orange be covered in ice. Well- that's something.

 

Lady Evelyn looked at the fruit and tilted her head. She wasn't sure how she could eat this now. "I can use advanced water magic, making the water change its form to solid and into ice. Though I am not sure... how are you able to eat this?"

 

How can this girl be so smart but show a lack of intelligence sometimes.

"Pfft-!" (Analissa) couldn't contain her laughter and it made Lady Evelyn shrink in her seat. Her laugh was really pretty but it didn't make her feel better at the fact that she was laughing over the frozen orange she made. 



She retracts back her spell and turns the water back to its liquid form.

It seems that she misunderstood her words and damn right she did. Whenever she was with Miss Blanchet, she couldn't help but make silly mistakes like these very so often.

"A-Apologies your ladyship- but you were really too adorable." She complimented the girl before digging her nails into the skin of the orange, getting it naked. They both can smell the strong scent of the citrus fruit as Analissa explained. 

"You see... back at my home. We had these frozen treats when it would become hot and the weather became unbearable. I believe we would mix some water, sugar, some fruit juice and other things you find easily." (Analissa) was done peeling the orange and took one between her fingers offering it to the girl.

"If you'd like, we can make it together sometime. I dearly miss it, and the oranges you brought would be enough for it so it wouldn't be a waste." 

A warm smile it was. She's never seen the girl smile this brightly for as long they've seen each other in class. 

Lady Evelyn takes the piece of orange and is met with the proposition of them hanging out once again .

 

She... she should refuse right? 

 

But she doesn't really... 

 

It made her feel conflicted and she didn't want to admit it.

"Will it make you leave the crown prince alone?" (Lady Evelyn) shouldn't get too friendly. That's right, she needs to make an excuse. If she keeps her busy she won't have any slip ups of meeting up with the crown prince and tarnishing her good name as a faithful fiancé. 

Analissa was taken aback with the question but she happily replied. "Very much so, yes! In fact if you might refuse- we might have the fate of bumping into each other and~ doing very romantic stuff yes!"

 

Horny braincell was having the time of her life.

 

"Come back once in a while. Liara and my other servants will open the door for you."

 

The sudden offer of the cold villainess that she’ll be welcome in her home was something else. 

It made her heart so happy. Lady Analissa looked at her blanket, the paper was peering out and that made her remember to give it to Lady Evelyn!

"Ah right! Your ladyship, my gift!" 

Lady Evelyn smiles, taking the orange Miss Blanchet gave and eats it. The taste of it was sweet... a really good pick it was. "Liara has... told me of it but she didn't tell me what it was."

"Whew... For a moment there I thought Liara had betrayed me." (Analissa) chuckled and took out the paper with a little letter of thanks for Lady Evelyn. "I-It's not much but... I really couldn't help myself on making something for you." 

Lady Evelyn looks down to see a small folded paper being offered and she takes it in her hands.

 

Opening it, a small drawing of a small chick was beside a crow. The crow's feather was hugging the little chick while there was a letter of thanks in the middle of the paper. 

Your ladyship, 

 

Thank you so much for helping me get well. 

I will keep being true to my promise.

Here's a little drawing of a crow and a baby chick!

You like birds and I think I dreamed of it last night.

Below the letter the drawing was there. It was very well made, Miss Blanchet would be able to pass as a small artist for a children's book if she wished.

 

"You... dreamed of a crow and a baby chick." (Lady Evelyn) stares at her suspiciously. Perhaps she's lying and she remembers the night that she told the bedtime story. 

 

"Weirdly yes? And I thought you'd like it, your ladyship." (Analissa) tilted her head giving an honest answer, though her heart was beating really loudly. "I-Is it okay?"

"It's not half bad." (Lady Evelyn) takes it in her Inventory and stands up. "It's quite late, I'll be filling you up with the missed work you'll be doing tomorrow. Please do sleep in my room, I'll work in my private study."

"Ah-"

 

"Goodnight."

Squeak...

The door was closed so suddenly.

 

Well... she just left like that. Was the letter not good? 

 

But Lady Evelyn said it wasn't half bad so that should count as a compliment right?

In any case... she has school tomorrow and Liara already fed her some food. She should finish the orange Lady Evelyn gave her before sleeping, the sweet taste of it was really addictive and there was a unique aftertaste she can't explain. 

.-.-.-.-.

 

In the study, Lady Evelyn had her small treasure box moved in her inventory too. She takes it out with the small letter Miss Blanchet gave. Looking at the cute drawings of the crow and baby chick from the story she told her, she wished it was this sort of ending that happened instead. 

"..."

 

It was such an eyesore that she decided to keep it inside the box. 

So no one else will have to see it. It will be safe.

 

Back to work she went, making some documents upon her father's order before drifting off to sleep into her study table. The villainess... works hard.
