Chapter 35 (1/2)
I Appear to have been Reincarnated as a Love Interest in an Otome Game: Chapter 35
Chapter 35: Men who would get the best solution naturally are indeed handsome people, I think.
The next day, Louis did not yet come out of his room.
So I spent the usual time with Louis alone, but my job did not change.
As usual, I spent the afternoon in the office surrounded in overflowing doc.u.ments and then enjoyed some tea with Angelica. To a.s.suage her worries of her friend, I tried giving her gifts of flowers, perfume and sweets, but to no avail.
In consideration of her as well, I was thinking of visiting Louis now.
I decided to have dinner with Douglas tonight.
Though it’s still refined and delicious, the amount was somewhat lacking. I realised it has been quite some time since I had dinner with Douglas like this.
“Douglas, it has been some time since we had dinner together.”
“Really now…… two weeks, maybe? It seemed you had quite the hectic schedule, no didn’t mind it too much.”
“Is that so? Well, I was rather surprised to see you smile again in such a short period of time.”
“If there is such a splendid woman nearby, of course one would.”
“Indeed.”
Chatting with me, Douglas no longer showed signs of breaking down like few weeks ago.
His counselling was definitely going well, and I could see him smile naturally now.
The atmosphere surrounding him became softer as well, and the danger I felt was disappearing too.
Counselling, it’s awesome!! No, wait, April’s awesome, right!?
Douglas said so too, but April really is a good mother…… I mean, lady!
It won’t be long until Douglas revives fully. At this rate, he should make it before we graduate, you see? Now I’ll put Douglas in the list of my retainers!!
Feeling happy from getting a load off my shoulders, I could feel my recent depression recede slightly.
My footsteps felt somewhat lighter too. With light footsteps, I returned to my room and got some green tea from Daniel.
While sipping on the green tea, I nibbled away at the baked rice b.a.l.l.s. For a slightly unsatisfied stomach, baked rice b.a.l.l.s are just good.
The green tea Daniel brings is always perfect, and of course he brings out sweet bean jellies and rice cakes. Recently, he even brought out ‘pickled kombu’. I wasn’t too surprised, but it brought back memories.
……Though it bothers me a lot as to how he acquired it.
Anyhow……
Is Jessica fine, with the effects still taking place.
While eating baked rice b.a.l.l.s, I thought about the two who did not yet come out of the room.
Even if it may be a strong aphrodisiac, to be like this even after giving them antidote, I’m worried that it might be really dangerous.
What about aftereffects……
Also, you won’t die from excitement, right, Louis……?
I know that they’re having proper meals, the fact that the effects did not go away even after three days made me worry a lot.
Also, seeing Angelica’s complexion get paler everyday, I was starting to worry that she’ll faint.
If she doesn’t get better by today, I’ll visit them. It might be better to get a doctor then.
They would want to hide that aphrodisiac was used, but professionals are needed.
Come to think of it, would Daniel be a professional here? He even prepared the antidote immediately, so he might know quite a bit, wouldn’t he?
