I'm The Heroine, But I Want To Hand That Role Over Chapter 36

36

"Christmas party……. you say?"

I stared at my parents with a perplexed face.

Father was a beauty with gentle features, he is an ikemen, as one would expect from the father of the heroine.

In contrast to his ever-floating smile, father’s way of doing things was cold-headed. The reason our company was able to grow so large was largely due to my father.

Such a father; however, has faults, such as being weak to his wife and sweet to his daughter. Maybe because he had expectations of my little brother; as the heir, he was quite strict to him.

Right now, father doesn't have his ever-floating smile, but a smile derived from a good mood.

"Ah. I was told by Hasumi-san that he would like to have Rinka partic.i.p.ate. Happy about that, I just agreed."

"Rinka, you get along with Hasumi-san's son, right? You seem to have gone horse riding together at the culture festival, too. Why didn't you tell me?"

My mother stared at me with an interested face.

My mother is an earth shattering beauty. She gives off a stern impression; but that, too, became an active charm of hers. Distinctive style, long slit eyes. Under her left eye there's a beauty mole, making her look erotic. My mother, that likes to wear bold garments, is the woman I admire. You really wouldn't be able to tell that she has a daughter in high school and a son in middle school.

Between them, I resemble father more, and the fact that I don't really resemble my mother makes me frustrated. I want to be a beauty like mother.

"Ehm…..that's……"

"Fufu. I understand. Rinka is at that age, right?"

No, you're wrong. It's just that, facing you guys to tell you something like this was so troublesome that I didn't want to tell you.

I would absolutely never tell mother this. I don't have the courage to say such a dreadful thing.

"Father, where did you hear the thing about the culture festival?"

"I heard it from Hasumi-san. Hasumi-san said that Sousuke-kun rode a horse together with an ojou-san."

"......is that so."

I was careless.

The culture festival is a place where various people gather and socialize. If I ride with Hasumi in such a conspicuous place, it's not strange that rumours would circulate between adults. As if this wasn't enough, Hasumi easily attracts people’s eyes already.

I hate my carelessness, as such a simple thing didn't even cross my mind.

"Well, even so, Rinka and Sousuke-kun are friends, right? Sousuke-kun is both handsome and excellent, and wouldn't look inferior if he stood next to Rinka. He's the perfect match for Rinka's husband."

"You're fast in changing mood."

".......we have no such relationship."

My parents stared at me with blank faces.

I couldn't bear their gazes, I looked down.

"Hasumi-sama and I, have no such relationship."

"Rinka?"

"..............can't you refuse the invite for the Christmas party?"

"That'd be difficult. Is there a reason as to why you don't want to go?"

"I'm not used to such places, and I think I would be a bother."

"Rinka, you should make appearances in parties soon; therefore, you cannot not get used to such places. And this party isn't formal; so, isn't this just a perfect opportunity for you?"

"......I see. I understand."

"Let's look for a dress tomorrow. Fufu, I wonder what dress will do."

"Because Rinka is cute, anything will suit her."

"Right."

In the presence of my parents, who were happily talking, I secretly bit my lips.

What kind of face would be good for when I see Hasumi?

My little brother peered at me worried.

"Neesan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Yuto can’t go to the party, right?"

"Ah. Yeah. Since I have cram school……."

"I see, that's a pity."

I wonder how obstinate I am.

Even with my family, I can't get enough of acting spoiled.

I shouldn't be so obstinate though.

And, at last, the day of the Christmas party came.

My mood didn't improve, but I was getting ready with the help of the servants.

After a long time pa.s.sed, the preparations were finally over, I softly breathed out.

This times’ outfit was coordinated by my mother.

It was a light pink gold fluffy dress. The ribbon attached at my back was lovely. The part on the waist was a corset, it gave off a cute ‘ojousan’ feeling.

Because it's a bare top, my shoulders are cold, but I have to bear with it by putting a shawl on.

Having finished preparing earlier than me, my mother came to look at me, and when she did her eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

My mother is s.e.xy as always. Comparing her abundant chest and my poor-looking chest, I sighed.

No, after a few years mine will surely…….! I still haven't gave up.

"Now, let's go, Rinka."

".......yes, mother."

I left the room pulled by mother. The entryway we went to had father and my little brother there to see us off.

Can you not stare at me like this? It's embarra.s.sing.

"Rinka has always been cute, but today she is even more cute!"

"It looks really great on you, nee-san."

"Thank you, father, Yuto."

Smiling, I thanked them.

My little brother made a face as though he wanted to say something to me.

When I asked him, "what is it?" Mother said, "let's go already," rushing us, and in the end I left home without hearing him.

Concerned, I turned back; however, my brother was no longer there.

I finally arrived at the party hall.

I must go greet the Hasumis that organised this party, since I was invited, awkward.

After greeting them, I'll kill time as I see fit and then return home early when the mood becomes poor. Un, let's do this.

I renewed my resolve and followed father.
