Rosette had taken the possibility of having another reincarnator into consideration, but she didn’t think she’d meet someone this soon. She had imagined it would be someone like the heroine of the original story, but the voice just now was obviously male.
"I'm going to go pay for the meal now, but when I come back I'd better find you still here. If I see empty room, I swear to god I'll quit."
"Alright. Alright. Sheesh."
The other person with him just left. Now there was just the reincarnator in the room beside her.
She had the urge to immediately barge into the other room and see his identity, but there was Hugo and Issac currently with her.
What should I do?
Yes, yes I just said I wouldn’t poke into businesses that’s not mine, but don’t laugh at me. This is obviously important.
In almost all stories concerning reincarnations, the protagonists change the original plot whether they intend to or not, even if they are one of the most minor characters. This was because, where the reincarnators are and whatever they do, the plot revolves around them. The plot WILL involve the reincarnator whether they want to get involved or not. This is how the story always goes.
And if this is an otome game world, what if this person knows how the future unfolds?
There were questions popping up in her head, but Rosette at least had to know who the other involved person was so she could prepare countermeasures for anything that might happen.
She looked at Issac and Hugo before thinking of a way to reach the person. There was only a partition diving the two rooms, yet she had so many obstacles to overcome before she get to meet the other person. ‘So close yet so far’ really seemed to apply here in a very unromantic manner.
“Sorry Uncle Hugo, I need to head to the washroom for a minute.”
“Do you want me wait for you at the entrance?” [Hugo]
“No, it’s not that far. I saw one at the other end of the hallway. I’ll be alright. But come look for me if I don’t return in 15 minutes.”
“Okay, be careful”
Once she stepped out of her private room, her heart was in her mouth. Pulse rate was at all time high - when was it when she last felt this nervous?
Rosette walked till the end of the hallway to remove any suspicion. Since you could hear footsteps from within the room, it would be weird if the sound of her footsteps stopped 2 steps away while she was supposed to be going to the toilet.
When she reached the end of the hall, Rosette shifted her gait so it sounded like another person entirely and walked back down before stopping at the room beside hers.
One step closer.
Just one more step...
Her hand gripped the curtain.
Taking a quick breath in as she steeled her mind, Rosette quickly opened the curtain to the room.
The reincarnator was already facing the door, probably wondering if his escort was already back. But at last you could never be sure enough who would show up. His hands grabbed the hilt of the sword and he prepared himself. However, when the curtains opened, the face he saw completely betrayed his expectations.
"You!" He exclaimed with wide eyes, pointing his finger accusingly at Rosette.
However, having a conversation here would be too loud. Hugo and Issac were in the adjacent room. It would welcome every and any suspicion to talk here here when they can clearly identify her voice.
Rosette jumped forward, her face inches away from his and her hands tightly on his mouth. Her other hand strongly grabbing the hand holding the sword, locking his attempt to stab her. Rosette's red eyes stared into his pupils and silently threatened him to stay quiet.
"I'll let go. But you have to stay quiet and follow me." She whispered.
He stares at her in half-astonishment, but he probably realised there was more to what was going on. His eyes turned dark and serious, he nodded stiffly.
"Good."
><><><><><><
The reincarnator who stood in front of Rosette was none other than the boy she saw at the magic tools shop a while ago, the second prince of the Koran Empire. Also the second capture target... Seol Jinwoo.
They now stood in a toilet cubicle inside the women bathroom.
He looked at Rosette waiting for her to speak, clearly uncomfortable with the location.
“You.”
His shoulders jumped when Rosette finally spoke after a long silence..
Rosette paused, thinking of how to continue the conversation.
What if Cola was a fantasy drink written in some fictional book and therefore he was technically talking about a fictional drink which didn’t exist in this world?
If so, wouldn’t he be super freaked out when Rosette suddenly start talking about being a person from a different world?
Plus this was only their second time meeting. It will definitely seem weird if she was wrong.
“Cola…” She finally continued.
Jinwoo’s eyes widened at her word.
“Coke or Pepsi?” [Rosette]
Silence ensued as she hopefully stared into the boy’s face awaiting his answer.
“……. Pepsi.” [Jinwoo]
It was an extremely short back-and-forth but it held significantly important meaning to both of them standing frozen in the women’s toilet cubicle.
A flushing noise echoed from a cubicle 3 stalls away.
Other than that, neither of them spoke further. Awkward silence lingered in an awkward location.
Rosette would have guffawed at the situation if she was a bystander. But she was the one standing in the cubicle one step away from the boy.
It was now the young boy who opened his mouth.
“Apple or Andr-” [Jinwoo]
“Android” [Rosette]
“……”
“……”
“I’m Rosette.”
Rosette extended her right hand. How long had it been since she got to shake hands to greet someone? Every greeting here was done with a curtsy and bow.
“I know...… I’m Jinwoo.”
The boy grabbed her extended hand and shook it.
"I thought it was Bob" She scoffed, Jinwoo just returned her a cold look.
Jinwoo then let out a long sigh, shaking his head in an exasperated manner. “I did expect another reincarnator to pop up soon, but I didn’t know who to expect. I should’ve realised after seeing you acting differently from the story.”
“You know the story?”
“You don’t?”
“No. I woke up one day into this body and shit has been happening one after another. I’ve never touched an otome game in my entire previous life so I don’t know why I’m here. But I do read enough manga and light novels to know I’m a villainess.” She resentfully pointed at her dark red rococo curls and pointed hostile-looking eyes. “So I’m just waddling around trying not to die.”
“I see…”
Jinwoo appeared to be digesting Rosette's words.
'He doesn't entirely look hostile and there's no reason for a capture target to have an agenda against me. It's useful he has knowledge of the game. I should bring him to my side.'
“So my buddy~” Rosette suddenly changed her tone, causing Jinwoo to grimace. “We should help each other as fellow partners~”
“I get it.”
“My best bud~ My ally on the same boat~” Rosette grabbed Jinwoo’s hands, shaking it up and down. "Be the ketchup to my french fries, oreo to milk-"
“I’ll help you so stop that.” He pushed your face away from him. “Wow you’re so shameless.”
Rosette shrugged, dropping her annoying act. “Gotta be shameless to survive my dude.”
Another flush echoed from a cubicle 2 stalls away.
“May be we should change locations.”
“You’re telling me that now?”
"Be the ketchup to my french fries, oreo to milk-"
The best pick up line I've ever heard
And I guess binge reading is done for now, great story btw!
Thanks for reading this~ ❤?
I wanna know the story about the "I'll swear to god I'll quit" dude, sounds constipated, prolly a guy... I dont see a chick following the Pepsi Prince around like an aide or bodyguard... There's a lot of angst in that short amount of words, I can almost hear him saying "This fking pain in the ass!! I shouldnt have left him alone! Fk! If that fker isn't there when I get back... I dont paid get enough for this shit!!!" The woes of babysitting a troublesome pita...
Hahaha!!! Loving it lol, its like when youre in a foreign country and u hear someone speaking in your language...its as though a long lost friend appeared, comrades, siblings, bffs, in that instant the bond of a shared existence is... Till you get to know each other... Then you usually part ways lol... Or not!
I bet there is a poor tortured girl in a cubicle waiting for emptiness so she can finally let rip and explode in the toilet but because of these noisy jerks the poor girl can only sit writhing in agony... Always go to the toilet at home before any outing and avoid certain food that u will regret eating later... Or feel free to drop noisy natural sounds from your butt with confidence and pride.
I love how their noble aura dropped to nothing just like that...
Thanks for the chapter, I just binged both of your novels at 4 a. m.
Ahahaha thanks for reading! ?♀️ hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing em~
Read through this whole thing a not once did she every go against the Duke. f*ck, that all I wanted to see happen in this story but no, she's gotta play the part. Couldn't she at least not call him father for f*ck's sake?
is this novel dropped
More or less, yeah. I planned for a hiatus but then when I was ready to write again i dont even know where I wanted to lead this story. By some miracle, if i managed to find some inspiration.... but no false hopes thats probably not happening.
@yam.laure damn this novel seemed interesting but it s fine, i still love your other novel tho
Ahahaha. Now this is interesting. I like it
I kinda want them to go out some place secluded where they can relax and be themselves, I'd die if I couldnt dance the way I want, to music I love... I'd jump around like an idiot, I'd love to cut loose and scream out singing Bohemian Rhapsody etc... I'd love to sit down and get wasted while complaining about this and that without fear... He would be the oasis in the desert... I might get emo...
i'd probably relax and live my life as a vegetable as a noble or the town fool as a commoner in both cases i'll probably spend it doodling if it's too unsufferable establish a cult to get monies and connections
@SwampyCat good luck with that, I wouldn't want to be a veggie...you'd either get eaten or used as a s*x toy... I'm not sure what their personal hygiene is like but I'm pretty sure it be rotten either way...
@KuqKu that's if you're good looking, a slob won't end up good looking even wih excellent genes, if you were poorer maybe but people depise ret*rded people in those times either your family protects you and you won't come in contact with the opposite gender or kill you to end your suffering or save face and final case send you in a convent because you are "unclean", so it's more chances being touched innaproprietly by a creepy grandma (may also end in rape dunno) than be a s*x toy for dudes and that's if i were a real vegetable, in this case it was more a meaning of just slow and lazy without any expectation thrust on my shoulders
@SwampyCat look it's better to reroll a new character... Untill you get that sweet honey spot of lazy indulgence you longed for... Then U realised it only existed in your fantasy of BS!! No matter how much you wish for that 60 million lotto win it ain't happening! It's always someone else's luck and your name ain't someone else!!!
So... Either pimp your ass to a blind stupid near death sugar daddy hoping they give you what you want or work!! Do you want to choke on his wrinkled incontinent corncob just for that Gucci bling bling? Gawd... I just shuddered, I like corn cob...why did I do that...uwu nooo!!
@KuqKu i don't know why you're so hung up on working and money, you're in the medieval era you can survive on fried roots and leaf soup and nobody is gunna look at you funny; well in my case i also happen to have worked in my gramma's old style farm and learned to survive in the wild for weeks if i'm lost and how to cultivate antique root vegetables not everyone is rolled the same starting conditions nor starter pack so yep if i say it it's because i can and did do it . also mushrooms mushrooms are life, you have a higher chance of being transmigrated in a farmer or artisan family it costs nothing to learn their craft !
@SwampyCat I don't mind the simple life so long as I don't end up with 20 babies and a deadbeat hubby, if you reroll a farming peasant and really unlucky you will have a 50/50 chance of being a chick.
There would be no worse fate other than that, you will get mushroomed alright, every veggie will be seeking offspring... How will you live without working under such unfair gender roles!! It's obviously biased!!
Hmm, seriously though I couldn't live without my 3 ply soft toilet paper, my regular dose of internet time wastage, in truth I can't be a mere tree hugger out in the woods, I was born to shine like a sparkle pony ... I'll keep rerolling till I see wifi towers!!
@KuqKu Lol can always give "hubby" an accident ,no one messes with widows except the rich and/or goodlooking ones, the more unpleasent you are the less people are likely to deal with you more cost effective to leave you alone if you are self sufficient and without a penny on you on top of being ugly and annoying people leave you alone not worth it, well i understand if you can't deal with loneliness but eh and you can always have kid with the guy before kicking him aside, and if you manage to get to 20 babies with the dude either you a) like him b) are a coward and can't run away from the asshole if he hits you to get what he wants c) you don't like him or dislike him but you have the money to take care of them, the kids are okay and the s*x is good d) you're dead can't give birth to that many babies without complications. And rerolling is kinda hard dying is scarry, i would first try my best and reroll if it's intenable, well if you have the transmigration skill or are able to project your soul out of your body it's true that i would do that. and it's like dudes at that time stick their d everywhere they can , you just have to be something they wouldn't stick it in. And frankly that's just medieval transmigration, you can always (and more likely get to be) an animal, or an alien intelligent species imagine living as a member of a civilized and sapient race of neptunian jellyfish what would their cities and technology look like the uknown culture and just reproducing yourself by mitosis !
@SwampyCat 20 babies is a deterrent! My god imagine if octuplets run in his family.. That would be cruelness unparalleled! But seriously what are you meant to do when you can't Google? Of course you're gonna do joint hip thrusts... If you can't swipe, click or stare mindlessly at something your other entertainment organs are gonna kick in!!
Having babies to stave off boredom is not ideal... Rerolling is the only option, simply put a life of hardship vs a moment of pain is a fair trade off, I consider the alternative unpleasant, this is not to encourage going into the light as a healthy option but what choice do you have!!
@KuqKu eh you know it's totally possible to suppress your urges and even live your whole life as a virgin, you can do other things out of boredom and the point was being mazy in the first place you shold try to disconnect of the internet for a while it will do you some good
@SwampyCat That's what all the tourist brochures say!
"Take a relaxing trip to otherworldly places!! Want to experience life you've only read about? nows your chance!"
Hah!! Dont let those photoshopped images fool you!!! The reality is diarrhea and endless mosquito's!! Being ugly in those places only secures you an ugly guy...worse a poxed mean ugly guy with octuplet genetics!
At least with modern tech you can Instagram filter yourself to a miss world pageant and not even need to meet your amorous fans! You just wait for fanmail gift boxes!! What better life for a lazy couch potato (the only veggie worth a damn!!)
@KuqKu Tss it's because you lack skillz if you live in the present future you can download your consciousness on the interweb if it's in the pas make your name immortal create a religion of yourself build a world wonder or just a statue with your name on it and that you can "photoshop" all you want scam the locals and run away ! But still the ultimate lazy larva life is still being a) a jellyfish b) a worm c) an amoeba , and as a jellyfish you have potential immortality doesn't even need going to fantasy world !
@SwampyCat Excuse me! I am educated at the university of YouTube! A multiple degree verified alumni at that! I know all kinds of stuff!! My worldview is vast! My wisdom is astronomical!!
I could teach those farming peasants a thing or two in 5 minutes no less!!... I would only need to invent duct tape, I'd call it cuck tape in case copyright infringement follows me to another world, you can't be too careful...
https://youtu.be/yEMAVDYdj40 who knew cuck tape is cotton!!... Aah I can see it now shoes handbags... The possibilities are endless!!! Yeah... NOT !!! ....A BIG X NO!...
I'd opt out or be a water bear...they're immortal!! A miniscule godly creature if ever there was one... AND ITS CUTE!! hurrah!!
