Chapter 3 Getting the little sheep

[Baby, you're my blood and for you, I would give my whole life. I know you have been hurt so much by that child. I also want to kick her out now but if I do, that child will act as if she was the victim and ruin both my and your image. But don't worry, you know she's engaged so after one year she will get married and leave this place. So Baby, please be patient until she gets married.]

How angry was I when I read those parts!!

Anyway if it was the original Arin and the original Aira, this trick would have worked, but for us who had transmigrated this would have had zero effect.

I looked at the Arin sitting in front of me.

Really she is such a beauty. She grew up well and I feel so proud...

Well, I'm really weak against pretty people, so of course, I feel proud when buds turn into roses even if I wasn't the owner who grew them.

And her beauty made me forget the awkward situation we were in and just kept staring at her beautiful face. At first, I 'just wanted to see' this supporting character who shares the same pitiful fate as me, but then I couldn't control my eyes.

BUT WTH!! Author what kind of supporting character is this pretty, with this visual she should be the main female protagonist.

I suddenly feel my fists itchy and wants to beat the author...

I'm being rude but who doesn't like looking at pretty things or pretty people? We were born with eyes to SEE... and to ADMIRE pretty things.

Seriously, that man is so unworthy of having her as a daughter.

Does he want to use her? Just dream! This Sister won't let you do as you please. Hmph!

(Arin's POV)

What is this situation? What's with that look in her eyes?

It's embarrassing and uncomfortable...

"Cough! Is there something on my face?"

When I asked, she blinked her eyes as if she had just come to her senses then smiled brightly and said something so unexpected.

"Something on your face? No, there is none. It's just that you're super pretty."

"What?"

I was dumbfounded. Is she serious or is she mocking me?

How can I be pretty in this appearance?

... I somehow feel insulted and annoyed.

Then she rolled her eyes and said;

"Ah, don't mind me. Let's continue eating first. Food is no longer tasty when it's cold." then she murmured "It is said that beautiful people don't recognize how pretty they are, but won't the ones you meet or even passersby know and praise or at minimum let out admiring comments? Why does she look so bewildered...."

I really don't understand her. But seeing as she focused on food, I also started eating.

She's a weird girl.

I was prepared to get harassed at least verbally but things went unexpected, she even said I was pretty. This wasn't the first meeting I was expecting!!

It was when I was thinking about this and that and trying to remember the original, that I heard a shout.

"Ah!"

I raised my head and saw that soup was spilled on Aira's clothes.

What? Is this a new play? Will she accuse me of spilling it on her and go complaint to Father?

When the maid who was nearby heard Aira's shout, she hurried to this side. The first thing she did was to look at me and seeing that I was just sitting she seemed to have concluded that it was actually spilled by mistake by Aria. Then she moved to Aria's side and asked.

"Miss, are you okay? What happened?"

"Yes, I'm fine. It's just... I'm not used to using the spoon when eating soup, so... I tried to drink it directly from the bowl... and this happened..."

Not used to using a spoon? She was eating the soup while using it just recently!!

Really... what's wrong with her?

"I will go change my clothes. Will you please clean this?"

"I will, Miss."

The maid was obviously a maid working for this family, but the look on her eyes was obviously looking down at Aira and ridiculing her. The maid sneered and left fast.

DANG-

Soon after she left, this time the sound of something falling rang in the dining room. No, rather than something falling, it was someone falling...

As expected, it was Aira again.

This girl really...Why does she keep getting into accidents...

"Excuse me... Sister ... can you please help me stand up and go back to my room?"

Sister? Me? Is she talking to me now? I looked sideways to see if she was talking to someone else but there was no one else in the dinning room? But why? I mean why me?

"Sister... my feet hurt and I can't stand up..."

She looked at me with a pitiful expression.

She looked like a kitten abondonned in the rain...

I really can't reject her...

I reluctantly walked to her and helped her stand up.

"As expected, not only pretty but also kind. Hehe." She murmured.

Why do I feel as if I had fallen into her trap...

***

Caught!!

Hehe, Now I got her and can have some alone time with her without the servants' surveillance.

The whole way to my room, I have been thinking about how to talk to Arin. I mean, I know her secret and I have no intention to act like the original me just for that trash man.

I arrived in front of my room without even coming up with a proper way to start the conversation.

Let's just go naturally.

I look left, looked right, looked behind-

No one is around... good.

"I'm sorry to keep bothering you but can you please take me inside the room."

"Inside... you say?"

"Yes, please~"

I blinked my eyes and acted pitifully. Somehow, it seems that Arin is weak against me when I'm acting like this.

She opened the door and helped me inside.

As soon as both of us came inside, I straightened myself and stopped acting as if my ankle hurt.

As expected, she seemed quite surprised. Hehe, our naive Arin.
