When you are captured by Douma who treats you like a "doll", you are torn between the feel...

"I want to go meet Douma."
Ayame, who was dressing up after her final customer had left, glared at me from sideways. She made a face as if she was controlling her anger, and finally spoke, "You should call him Douma-san. And you may go."
𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘴, 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.
"Thank you," I left and rushed to my room fast. Something told that they would not leave me alone. I might flee on the pretext of meeting Douma. 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦.
They might even be spying on me, who knows. I need to be careful.
However, when I was leaving, I saw Natsu waiting for me. "I was told to ecsort you to Douma-san, since you are still injured."
Yes, they aren't going to leave me alone. And injuries, pfftt. It has been over a month since I have been here. My injuries have almost healed.
𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵.
"Fine, let's go," I said, and we left immediately.
On the way, Natsu continuously talked to me. She is really talkative, but I don't blame her. She has no company except me after all.
I half-listened to what she was speaking, and would mostly nod, or say a subtle "Hmm". My mind was pondering over a more important issue now.
Natsu's continuous blabbering was irritating me. "Can't you just leave me alone?" I said, in quite a rough tone.
Natsu stopped dead in her tracks.
I turned around and looked back at her. 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.
"I understand I irritate you, Y/N san. But I am simply carrying out orders," she said. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to.."
"It's fine, it's totally fine. I am used to it. My own sister does that to me. That's why I don't remain cheerful in front of her."
"Ayame, is your sister?"
"Yeah, the people here say so. However, she hates me." The fourteen year old looked at me on the verge of tears. "We don't talk very often. Everyone says that she is jealous of my beauty, which is 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 greater than hers."
I understand her situation. Although she is just 14, she has quite a mature body, and I really beautiful. There are reasons for Ayame to be jealous, because her customers often ask for Natsu. That's why they are so formal with each other.
"But when I saw you speaking out your thoughts, I knew I could trust you. I can only speak out in front of you. Although you are my only friend, you are the best one can ever have, I am sure about that."
I smiled. "Thanks Natsu. Now let's get going, we are going to be late, because it's time for dawn."
"Yes, let's go," she said, and we trudged along the road.

After telling Natsu to wait outside, I went in. Yes Douma is in there.
As I entered, I saw Douma, talking with someone, or something, should I say? It was a weird creature, in a pot, white, green and pink in color.
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘪𝘴𝘩?
On seeing me, Douma quickly dismissed his visitor, "Aah, Gyokko-san, the love of my life is here, if you could leave us alone.."
𝘎𝘺𝘰𝘬𝘬𝘰! 𝘜𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘔𝘰𝘰𝘯 5?!!
"... ok, I will meet you later," and he was gone.
As soon as he was gone, Douma leaped towards me, and hugged me tightly. "I missed you so much!!"
"Oh, just thank you," Douma said tenderly, "I thought you would praise me. No problem, I will make more for you to improvise." He finished with a smile.
𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰, 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦.
I quickly composed my demeanor, and looked at him. "I have a request, or rather two requests from you Douma."
"A request? It's the first time you are requesting me?!! Go on, I will definitely fulfill it."
"I want to have my own freedom here. I hate spending time in the dark rooms. Please let me go out, I want to wander around the Entertainment District."
"Ok, that's not a problem! In fact, I will be your guide throughout your journey through this district. You know there might be dangers lurking around..."
"That's what I don't want. I want to be left alone, not followed all the time."
Douma's face turned serious. "But, but I wanted to accompany you."
"Please, it's the first time I am requesting you."
".... Fine," He smiled, "but a request for a request. I want you to wear that flower crown whenever you go out."
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵?!!
"Fine, I guess I can do that," I replied, and fixed the flower crown on my head.
"You look really pure and innocent like a doll."
~❄~
"Oh my god, he gave you a flower crown! I have never seen him showing so much affection to anyone, not even Daki-sama." Natsu blabbered on.
I opened the flower crown, and stared at it. It was just made of white lilies.
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?
Natsu was talking about something. But I could no more hear.
A small smile crept to my face when I put back the flower crown on my head.
