I am the Newly Born Woman of Around Thirty Vol 2 Chapter 6

[Edited by junior editor here]

__________________________________________________________________________

After spending whole night reflecting on my deed’s, Melba appeared with a rumbling stomach saying he is hungry .

“Why do you have to punch me, who doesn’t even realize for what,I tossed to him at the very beginning. I declared with vigor in my voice to draw the line.

” Understood, Choose, with fist or with the palm?”
Agitated without thinking, he suddenly nods and starts raising his hand from underneath of his robe.

“Rea.. reason, can I know the reason?”

“Because you said you will not listen to anything,”

Not listen to anything! Although it’s a common figure of speech, I didn’t expect it realy to happen without an explanation.

Even though I inquire about that glancing at Melba’s, it’s still covered with the gray robe and can’t be seen.
I can’t see it, but from the coldness of his voice it seems that his anger is still there.

Even though Melba said that it would be really dangerous, and I shouldn’t do it, because I am a supporting mob, I went to peep at the scene without being too concerned about myself, considering yesterday’s accident.

If Melba didn’t show up, I would already have a deep wound to my heart and my body.
Even if one looks objectively, I reaped what I sow, and Melba being angry for involving him is natural thing.
Aside from the unexpected scolding, should I accept one or two beatings?
I decided to prepare for it, but recalled the frightfulness of his strength, and cold sweat started to flow.

After seeing him dealing with that threesome, perhaps my face will collapse beyond recognition. If Melba who blew off those three people will beat me.

“Umm, palm. Please do it with a palm.”

Although it’s uncertain even in the case of a palm, it’s still better than a fist.
When it’s with a fist, the force concentrates in one point, but if it’s a palm, it will disperse and shock somewhat will be devided.

Clenching my teeth, I’m ready, come at me any time! And I stick out my face.

“You really think I would do it?”

Loosing interest in me, who was so resolute for beating, he started eating piled up food.
Going by the first declaration, it seemed that he is very hungry, and started to consume tremendous amounts of food.

A bulky piece of meat as an apology, he gulped it whole, and the bread that had been packed in the basket disappeared in a blink of an eye.

“This meat, it’s really expensive, stupid! Eating it like this… and for this meat there was a special sauce too  …”

Melba nodded and drank special sauce.
Isn’t it medieval way of eating! I wanted to complain about it, but he swallowed it like that.

“I am really sorry about yesterday… ”

I devoted myself in the night, and I repented on my actions. So deciding to fix this personality of mine right away, and live as a true supporting role.
The first step in becoming true supporting role, is to stop peeking and to realize that I am not a reader. I had thought that Laurel was a girl from manga. But this world is a reality, Laurel is not a two-dimensional girl but my cla.s.smate.
Fear and pain felt by her was real.

Laurel had to overcome many hards.h.i.+ps till she met the Happy End with Ricardo-sama, and that hards.h.i.+ps includes things like yesterdays.

Although it may be the fate of the heroine, it’s pitiful.
Moreover, Laurel

is. .h.i.t by a pinch, when she will be attacked by an anonymous mob, while the mental fear of being attacked by Ricardo-sama is not healed yet.

It’s an indispensable event as Muriel Rosway is one of the main figures that will help her.
But, for exhausted Laurel-chan, this me.. constantly! I’m pathetic.

“Muriel Rosway?”

“Yeah, one of the main characters, Muriel with a genius brain is coming up soon,”

Melba in the conversation showed some interest, so, with Muriel from Laurel’s pinch I decided to talk about their encounter.

During the lesson, Laurel was pressed with ch.o.r.es from her teacher and headed to the library room for getting the teaching materials.
In the middle of that she encountered and mobs chasing her unwillingly, she was getting cornered.

Mobs seemed to believe that even if they were found out, if it’s Laurel-chan, a commoner who brought displeasure to Ricardo-sama, they will be okay.

They chased Laurel who escaped and hid in the library, the place Muriel usually was using. Mobs who came into the library looking for Laurel, offended Muriel with the noise, and he sent them away violently.

‘Why don’t you come out, they are gone already.’ And Laurel stuck out her face slightly from the book shelfs, noticing that Muriel saved her she got stiff.

Muriel Rosway is famous not only for his genius brains, but also for his appearance that is angel-like.

She knew that it was a person with an outstanding beauty, but to this extent…
Laurel was watching him stupefied.

Laurel got out and thanked Muriel, who looks up and raises his eyes.

“I wasn’t planning to help you.”

Muriel responded rudely,

“Laurel Goltoni, rumored to go against the crown prince? Not looking at your appearance, but you have a great courage,”

He became curious.

“Oh, that one, it’s wrong, I was just going with the flow! How do I say it?”

Muriel who swayed his head and thought that she was a cute little animal, stroked her with a gentle touch to calm her down.

The gentle touch of his hand had no fragments of sharpness, and his smiling face was angel-like. It was unusual for a cowardly and shy person like Laurel, she was fascinated.

It was also a technique to make Muriels appearance in the story.
The appearance that you misunderstand as an angel does not let the viewer feel alarmed.

If Muriel had appeared as evil mob, they couldn’t have close relations.h.i.+p from the first meeting.

Hateful cover up! After appearance of evil mob’s, there is Muriel, same human being as them, but the difference is like Heaven and earth.

I describe the appearances of the main characters and mobs, thinking that world was thoughtful, but… somehow I noticed a strange thing. To the unpleasant premonition that drifted in the corner of my heart, the mobs in the brain were closing up unconsciously.
Mobs attacking Laurel and driving her to the library had suitable origin. Three people drawn as simple as they can be, at a glance each had villain character.

An era of mistaken hair style like Bach, evil tattoo carved on arm, dirty interests.
(What about the uniforms?)

The characteristics fitted perfectly to the three people who hit on me yesterday.

“……”

The decaying att.i.tude that looks down upon the commoner, the living att.i.tude that is s...o...b..ring in the pretense to attack if a woman in their view.
It’s completely matches up to the contents of the story.

” E~h, Could it be? ”

The three bad mobs yesterday was mobs who attacked Laurel in the near future!?

“What !?” Is there such a thing !? ”

“Noisy, what is it? ”

Melba raised an annoyed voice, but I can’t keep it in mind.
It would be very bad if the three people of yesterday were mobs who soon should be chasing Laurel.

The chances of encounter between Muriel and Laurel  are decreasing, if they will be absent from school due to major injuries!
In this case, what happens to the story?

There is a convenient thing called healing magic in this world, but any injury is not possible to cure in a blink.

“It’s extremely risky!”
Noting what mess I had caused, to me who almost turned bald  from worrying , Melba, after finis.h.i.+ng the meal, had peeled the apple into a rabbit shape without a thought.
