Chapter 45 (2/2)
” …… Beth, I leave the rest to you……”
Eliza's heart was completely shattered because not only she didn't stop avoiding, she also was clearly hostile towards her. She dropped her shoulders as she couldn't bear to be in this situation.
She lightly tapped her forehead twice.
This worked as the switch for Eliza. She preferred to change her personality by doing it this way.
”―――― The worst.”
*thud*, A moment after her posture collapsed. Beth annoyingly smacked her lips with a gloomy face, half-closed eyes that distorted Eliza round eyes.
”She is the worst, that fool Eliza. My life purpose isn't to clean up your mess you know? You really p.i.s.s me off that I want to kill you from the bottom of my heart.”
”Yo Beth, welcome. We only have cake for a snack, do you want it?”
”―― Ha. I hate such happy things like cake, it makes me feel sick. What? Did s.h.i.+zuru say I have a sweet tooth??”
” …… No well, if you don't want to eat, at least drink the tea……”
”Who said that I won't eat it? I will eat it, but I still hate it.”
”Yeeaah……”
*Haa*, Beth let out a big sigh while inclining her stool on its one leg. Why can't you just be honest? s.h.i.+zuru thought about such and smiled.
And then, looking at Beth who wasn't in a good mood for compliments; Mary, who had been hiding, came out from behind s.h.i.+zuru.
” …… Beth.”
”Oh my? I wonder if you didn't need to stay behind your mother, oh little twerp.”
Mary nodded to Beth's question, as a nasty smile surfaced on her(Beth's) face. Beth abruptly, and nonchalantly, put her hand around the girl's neck.
”Haa―― whatever. So careless, I could snap your neck right now and you wouldn't even be able to object.”
While laughing, a little bit of force was added to her hand at the same time. She could kill her immediately just like that…
”What? Just because I took care you once on a whim, did you think that I was an affectionate older sister? If so, then you must have bad eyes! Unfortunately, I'm am the most deplorable woman that would kill anyone without the bat of an eye. Go back and tremble behind your mother if you understand.”
After saying that, she let go of Mary's neck, one finger at a time, Beth cruelly laughed happily. But Mary didn't move. Nor did she become frightened either. On the contrary, she actually grabbed onto the hem of Beth's uniform and looked up to her with her innocent eyes.
”…… Are you dumb? Do you really want to be killed that much? Even if you're by my side, nothing good will come of it.”
”I like Beth.”
Her light brown left eye that has the same color as her hair, and her emerald green right eye that reminds you to a plague, were opened a little.
”Like. Do you want half of my cakes?”
”Hahahaha. Funny, it's not really funny, it's actually the worst. I've never heard you say the same statement twice, Do you want to be skewered? It can't be helped, it's inevitable, I can't say I'm shocked either, I guess I'll go along with it. Thanks, twerp, incidentally, I want some cake. I'll have some of your share.”
She was talking considerably fast, almost as if to conceal her embarra.s.sment. She shook Mary's hand carefully as consideration for her and arrived at the seat where Eliza had been sitting not too long ago. Although it could have been because of the sun, it seemed like her cheeks were turning red.
”…… You’re not being honest~.”
”Did you just say something fatal that could be misunderstood, s.h.i.+zuru? Bring some more and tea and cake from earlier, I hate both. Prepare some cake, particularly Mont Blanc because I hate it the most, I hate it. After all, if you dislike it, you should eat what you hate the most right?”
”Ahaha…… Ok, princess.”
”――――That…… don't ever say that again. I'll kill you, you're really…… really the worst.”
Beth covered the right half of her face with her right hand and put her elbow on the table while turning away and spewing out swears. With a smile, s.h.i.+zuru's slim form turned back and returned to the kitchen.
