Chapter 23: A Dirty Liar

"So this is how I plan to create even more problems!" Klara said with a smile toward her screen that was generated by her Meltan. She was currently lying on her bed while wearing the same outfit as during the test, it was her best one after all.

"Why are you like this Klara?" Piers responded in an exhausted tone from the other side of the screen. Contrary to Klara, he was currently sitting in front of a table with a plate of food in front of him containing some cooked Staravia meat with a brown sauce on it.

But before Klara could answer, a high-pitched voice responded. "Because she's a meanie!"

"Oh, hi Marnie." Klara casually said, not even bothering to react to the insult. "So, how's your first day here?"

"It's so cool! I don't have to worry about losing big brother!"

Piers took the camera and lowered it, allowing Klara to see Marnie with a happy smile and a cooked Tranquill tight in her hand. "I don't even have to worry about food! There is so much food! I love the food!"

"Oh that's simply wonderful, you definitely deserve this meal my little Marnie."

But instead of being happy about this comment, Marnie puffed her cheek. "I don't need your order to be happy."

"Marnie, it's not nice to be mean toward Klara, apologize to her." Piers chastised Marnie with a calm voice.

Marnie puffed her check before pointing toward the screen in indignation where Klara seemed to be on the border of tears. "How...how dare you tell this to me...it breaking my heart...sniff...sniff."

"Stop acting like you're really sad you meanie!" She screamed in indignation.

"But I am really sad Marnie, to be told by such a cute girl that she doesn't need my help, it breaks my heart."

"Tch, I'm sorry! Happy?!"

"Extremely so." Klara completely changed her expression, as if she wasn't just about to cry a second ago. "So, how are your roommate Piers?"

"Oh, they are extremely sympathetic, and most of them are also from the street, so they are fun to interact with...well there is a more wealthy girl, but he doesn't seem to judge us at all, and all of them seem to like music."

"Let me guess, he called Marnie cute and all of your defence crumbled away?"

Piers looked shocked before awkwardly scratching his head. "Yes...yes that's what happens."

"You're falling too easily into their trap Piers, this guys probably just want you to become his sidekick so someone can praise him for every time he is able to breathe without choking on his own ego."

Piers frowned at her comment. "Don't you think you're too harsh on them?"

"No, I think I'm starting to get too lenient on them instead."

"...listen Klara...I understand more than anyone else why you hate them...but we're in a new environment...maybe try to become a new you at the same time..."

Klara thought about it for a short moment before shaking her head. "Please, I have so many me, do you really want to add more to the mix?"

Piers sighed before taking his fork to take a piece of his meal instead of responding.

Klara completely lost focus of Piers and instead fixed intensively the food in front of Piers with some saliva flowing out of her mouth.

Piers noticed it and spoke to her in concern. "Are you alright Klara?"
