Living monotonous in a Novel Universe

Chapter 14

The Otome Main Character P.O.V

(Note: This character has appeared in Chapter 12, the one who ran away with a cockroach stuck on her hair.)

"Argh!! Remove it, remove it!" I wail my hands on my head where the freaking bug is stuck.

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting! I hate cockroaches, I hate bugs, I hate it!

"Aya, please calm down." Gretel said to me.

"Calm down!? Calm down!? How can I calm down?!" I said as I pull the cockroach out of my hair.

"This stupid thing!" I throw it to the ground and stomp the bug all over again. I feel like crying. I saw a water faucet, turned it on, and washed my hands in silence.

"Why do I have to suffer like this?" I ask myself while rinsing my face, wanting to cry.

"Aya, you know the dream, do you? As master said, we have to follow it and that's the only way for you to get what you want." Gretchen, Gretel's older sister tells me while patting my back.

That's right, that dream. A dream about my future where a lot of men tried to win my love, but I don't care about it, I only need one thing and that is the flower that heals all kinds of diseases.

"I-" I cut what I was supposed to say. I look at my hands that are soaking wet with water.

Ever since I was a child, mom has never looked nor cared at me. Dad never visited me.

A lot of people said that I was created by mistake. A mistake that adults made only for the child to bear. How unfair is that? Nobody cared for me, they sent money for my necessities, yet never tried to visit me.

An act that is only done for the sake of their image, that's why my nanny is someone I considered as a parent.

But right now, she needs my help. I have a lot of money from my parents, but the nanny is inflicted with something different, something unexplainable and sinister.

I love my nanny, I love her, I want to live with her for a long time. I- must do this even if it cost my dignity.

That girl that I shouted, I- I should apologize to her. I feel bad shouting at her, but I have to do it, to trigger the event. It was shameful, even for my part but, for my dearest nanny, I'll do anything for you.

And the love of those men who are supposed to be my target in my dream? Pfft! Don't make me laugh, they are as broken as me and I have to act like a therapist for them to fall in love? Such a thing, made me feel as if we were nothing but playthings for entertainment.

Thankfully, my mission is to make them hate me.

I can see a 'love bar' in their heads, if the love bar of all the men that are considered love interests turns to hate, I'll trigger the event, where the calamity befalls.

"I-I'm sorry, I overreact. That's right, your master has already told me what to do."I wipe my face with a towel.

When the event happens, the flower that cures all diseases shall appear.

I have already the 'hate status' of three of them, just five more to go and I'll be done. Nanny, wait for me, I'll save you.

Lena's P.O.V.

Ugh, I feel mentally exhausted. I said to myself while walking home. Apollo texted me that they will be going to a convenience store, so, when I arrived, the house was empty.

I changed my clothes, go to the kitchen, and wear my apron since I am going to cook for today's dinner.

I like our kitchen, it's wide, has a lot of equipment and has a variety of ingredients.
