I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way? Ch 102

It seems that without realizing it, the stories about showing the shape of snowflakes and letting everyone at the Shiru children’s tents et Rashiok have been heard by the farrs’ children. Well, I probably should have realized that it’s impossible to stop children from gossiping, and it’s fine, anyways.

Co to think of it though, recently children have been sticking to so much with as the center of attention that it’s like I always have a flock of them following around everywhere, so I have been thinking about setting so boundaries.

“The Shiru children are hogging Eliza-sama! We want to play with her as well!!”

“Eliza-sama’s living in our tent! There’s nothing wrong with anything!”

“It’s unfair that only you guys get to play with the draconis!”

“Even if you say so, none of you ca over to beco friends with Eliza-sama until now!”

“Why haven’t you guys ever called for us!? You’re just hogging Eliza-sama! Isn’t it more fun to play with everyone!?”

“It’s not like I’m the only one with Eliza-sama, so how can I be hogging her! Besides, Eliza-sama isn’t a toy!!”

A Shiru girl and a farr boy were struggling to pull in their direction from opposite sides, having an argunt. Well, simply speaking, this is a children’s quarrel. Judging from their comnts, it seems that the children are getting a little overly fond of .

Maybe I’ve done a bad thing. From their point of view, they might not want to let go of when I have to leave them. But still, being tightly packed in by dozens of children every day, it’s an indescribable feeling and it’s causing to break down. It’s, a bit crushing.

“Then, it’ll be great if Eliza-sama can stay in our tent starting from today!”

“Stop saying such silly things, Reka! Didn’t the clan leaders decide where Eliza-sama would be staying?”

The farr boy holding on to by wrapping his arms around my stomach behind seems to be a boy nad Reka who speaks with a bit of a countryside accent. Since I haven’t interacted with the farr children in the other tents at all, I don’t know him at all. The other girl who’s pulling is a Shiru girl nad Tira that’s currently in front of with her arms around my neck; she’s usually in charge of helping take care of . Although they’re bickering, it’s more like friendly banter, so I think they actually get along pretty well with each other. However, why are they getting so heated up with in the middle?

Is this where I should step in and tell them to stop arguing over ? I just tried to lose myself in thinking and ignoring reality in front of , but I soon regretted it when my vision began to darken.

I finally felt an icy sensation in my head, along with a painful throbbing sensation. Urk, my neck, my stomach, they hurt so much from being tugged on.

Ahh, am I going to die here? Dying of suffocation thanks to a girl who’s only one or two years older than pulling on my neck, or will I be crushed to death, or choked to death……

“Oi, you guys had better cut it out already! Reka, Tira! Eliza-sama’s turning pale.”

At that mont, a boy cut through the wall of children surrounding , making view him almost like a hero descending from the sky in the nick of ti. He peeled both Reka and Tira’s arms off of , and knuckled both of them on the head. He’s about the sa height as Tira, and is shaking his silvery-blue hair. – Oh my, this guy’s definitely familiar.

“……, Athrun?”

When I muttered the na I learned the other day, he instantly turned his head towards . On his face was a look of surprised innocence, shock that I rembered his na.

“You…… rember my na?”

“Of course. Rather than that, thank you for helping . It was getting a little painful.”

“It was probably a lot more than painful. You were turning dreadfully pale.”

I just looked directly into his look of surprise, and shrugged. It was indeed painful enough that I had prepared for death. Now that I look closer at him he smiled a slight smile which was sohow a bit srizing, and then he gingerly started pulling by my sleeve. When I noticed what he was doing, Athrun was getting angry with and scolding Tira who had cald down and looked like she was apologetic, as well as a boy who’s exactly my height and a little shorter than Tira.

Well, this boy seems to be the one from earlier called Reka. While his eyes were darting in every direction nervously, he apologized to together with Tira.

“I’m really sorry, Eliza-sama……”

“I definitely won’t do this again, Eliza-sama……”

With Tira and Reka’s apologies, the surrounding children seem to have regained their senses as well, and they all looked a little guilty as if they had done sothing wrong.

Well, now that so of their eyes are watering up, erm, how to say it, now I’m starting to feel like I’m the one who’s guilty of doing sothing bad in reverse. Well, to begin with, it’s really because of my lack of thought in not stopping them.

“N, no…… I’m sorry as well to everyone. Even though I was showing off so rare things, it was unfair of to not call the children from the other tents as well.”

I rembered Reka’s words from the argunt just earlier, and I lowered my head in apology and self-reflection as well. If soone with a lot of new and interesting toys just made friends with a lot of other people but not with you, well, of course that would make you feel left out.

The main causers of the quarrel in the first place, Reka and Tira, as well as Athrun looked at each other with looks of incomprehension as if they couldn’t understand why I was apologizing as well. And when they looked at again, Tira stuck her tongue out at mischievously, while Athrun had a wry smile and Reka seed to be overjoyed with a big smile on his face.

“The next ti I co up with sothing fun, I’ll invite you guys along as well. I’ll talk to Teo and ask if I can stay in the farr children’s tents as well. Will that be alright with you?”

While Reka was looking overjoyed again as expected, he also turned around to look at all the other farr children and nodded at them – the ones that were complaining it was unfair – then he turned back to and replied “that’s great!” It seems that although Reka is slightly short, he’s probably one of the leaders among the farr children.

“I never would have expected Eliza-sama to apologize to us, but anyways if Eliza-sama wants to co play with us, that’s totally fine. We’ll make sure to get along with the Shiru children.”

As Reka grinned widely, Tira apologized as well to him as a leader among the Shiru children, and they made up at the end with a hug. Is this what making up with each other is supposed to be like, I wonder.

Both of them had also lowered their heads when Athrun ca to arbitrate between them. Just the other day there had still been so class struggles between them left behind from the ti of the now defunct Artolas Kingdom, but it seems that these divisions weren’t deeply ingrained into them yet and that they’re children that listen to reason. Well, I could only smile wryly as I’m still a little older than they are ntally even though I’m roughly the sa age as Tira and the others on the outside.

“……Reka. Um, can you stop using the term, ‘Shiru children?’ For all of us, the Shiru tribe, or lower class, none of that exists anymore. All of us are now Arxians, and have beco citizens of Kaldia.”

Athrun turned around and said that to Reka with a complicated expression on his face. It looked just like his expression from the other day. Did he understand my aning, is he agreeing with , is he carrying out my will?

“……Mmm. I got it, I won’t say that term anymore.”

I wonder if Reka was there as well on that day a few days ago, Reka took a glance at then nodded joyfully.
