I'm in Otome World, Really?

Chapter 21 - A Secluded Village (part 5)

At the last moment, Sylvon finally understood what I meant. Without much thought, he quickly opened Sylven's room door and shoved his dumbfounded twin brother to the room. He then also went inside after giving me a look that seemed like saying 'thank me later' and slammed the door shut.

Fortunately, Nicho and the man turned around after they heard the source of sound behind them.

'Oh, I pull back my words. Today is my lucky day.'

Nicho just raised one of his eyebrows in wonder and shrugged his shoulders then turned back to see me again.

"What are you waiting for? Go inside."

"Yes, yes."

We went inside the room and the man closed the door behind.

I started to survey the room with my eyes. In the room, I found a bed sufficient for one person with a light brown blanket neatly placed above it, the only window was at the top of the right side of the bed and it was decorated with a thin white curtain, plus there was also a wooden closet across the bed, a desk and a swivel chair, and lastly a separate bathroom that could be found if you walked by a few steps from the door of the room. Actually, it was pretty decent, just like normal room I could find in any hotel in my previous world.

My eyes continued to scan the room, not until Nicho suddenly pushed my body until I reached the side of the bed.

Bed.

My eyes widen and my cheeks became redder as I looked at the bed right in front of my eyes with mouth agape.

'What? Why the bed?' I shook my head. 'No no no, don't have dirty thoughts, me!'

Spinning my body around to face him, Nicho placed his hands on my shoulders. He was staring at me intently as he put me to sitting position on the bed.

'What is happening?'

He leaned forward while I stared back at him, still wondering his sudden action. He then opened his mouth. "Just rest now. You must be exhausted."

I blinked my eyes.

"What?"

"That guy and I will be going outside. You won't go with us and stay here. Don't you ever follow us, understand?" He tighten his grip on my shoulders, making me flinch a bit. He then realized what he did and released his hands from my shoulders quickly.

"... Sorry." He averted his eyes from me but his hand now was on my head, gently patting it. "I'll be back."

I didn't say anything, but I must admit his hand somehow calmed my feeling.

He looked at me again after a few seconds passed, teasing look was plastered on his face and he gave me his usual smirk.

"... Or I'll punish you."

My body tensed when I heard that, while I could hear giggles coming from behind Nicho, not from Nicho.

Realizing who was laughing right now, Nicho shot the man standing behind him a glare which made him shut up, but of course the man was still smiling.

"Let's go."

Before they left me alone in the room, Nicho ruffled my hair, making me glare at him annoyed. His next words though, unexpectedly managed to stun me.

"You have become a better person now, you show your emotion more. I like your genuine smiles more than your fake smiles. Glad to be able to see it more often."

Then he closed the door.

"I think Nicho likes you."
