"Breaking the engagement? Is this because of about—us?" Mother Cooper awkwardly asked but with the hint of anger, pain, disappointment, and guilt.
The old madam slowly shook her head thrice softly sighing.
A soft voice interrupted the scene of the adults,
"M—mom, It's not grandma who said it. I—it's me." the little girl when she saw her mother's eyes looking at hers, she averted her eyes. Looking down on her entwined fingers fiddling them and like an afraid little kid thinking of an excuse, she said in a trembling voice, "I—I no longer like big brother."
The old lady sigh once again massaging her own forehead with the tips of her fingers she's having a headache of the obvious lie of the kid. Yuri's parents are no dumb to not understand their daughter's lie.
Father Cooper then carefully said, "If that's our Yuri's thought..."
"Matias!" Yuri's mother glare at her husband.
"Hear me out first. We'll be out of the country and settle there for some years to lay low. After we came back and if our Yuri still wanted to break the engagement then we'll then officially break the en—"
"Matias!"
"What?"
"You're saying nonsense!"
"What nonsense? We just talked about this."
"We didn't discuss about this!"
"About going abroad, yes we just did."
"About breaking the engagement, no. About going abroad, this is not the right time to say that."
The old lady just look at the pair bantering at each other, sighing softly she look at the girl on her side pitying her more. Going abroad is every rich families last resort when a scandal broke so this decision of the Cooper couple are not too surprising. It's just that the young girl is the most affected in her parents affairs.
"Mom. Dad." a soft voice interrupted the husband and wife pair. "C—can we stay here for another month?"
The two's glaring competition broke. Father Cooper look at his wife arrogantly like all he said earlier are the best words to say. When he realize a thing, he then asked his daughter.
"A month? If our Yuri is thinking of her school, no worries we already talk to the Harris and you would still be considered as a graduate of Harriet Academy. But a month? Isn't there are two more months for the—" the dumb Father Cooper stop when he realize a thing. Still on his stoic face, he cough awkwardly not meeting his wife's deathly glare.
Grandma Matte getting a headache of this view of the couple. One month later is her grandson Evo Matte's birthday and never in Yuri's existence did she get absent from the celebration. She even remember the young girl got sick before because of her grandson pushing her in the pool but she didn't even get angry to her fiance and even attended his birthday and give him a thousand origami cranes folded by the young heiress herself. Every year, the young girl didn't stop to amaze the Matte family of her cute lovely full of effort gifts.
"My granddaughter Yuri, go upstair first and grandma have something to discuss with your parents. Grandma knows our Yuri is tired and sleepy. Come come let me give you a good night hug."
After giving a goodbye gestures to the three she left with small steps and her head down. The three adults can only look at the departing back of the child full of pity and guilt.
When Yuri at last arrived at her bedroom she dropped all her pretence and calmly look at the numbers in the air. When she transmigrated to this world, she firstly notice these numbers floating in the air which is only visible to her.
She notice the numbers started to fluctuate the moment she said her first statement to the grandmother-grandson pair. It did increase a lot while conversing with the old lady regarding the breaking of the engagement. Now conversing with Yuri's parents with the same topic, it did still increase but unlike the fluctuation in the Matte's mansion, it's too weak.
With this information, the soul inside Yuri end up to many conclusion and sticking to the most realistic one,
These numbers are those creatures fluctuation of emotions related to the main characters of the story. The bigger the role to the story, the more they can affect these numbers. Of who and what creatures, she can only name them- Psychotic Weird Aliens. For getting reborn for almost a thousand times, she was more open to possibilities and existence of higher species.
She stick to this conclusion with the hints she accumulated from the notification she received after her 999th death.
First, it says she just finished the first stage namely reborn. Second, using mental power to encode her username.
This means she was reborn for hell a 999 times to have this level of mental power and finally reach the second stage.
Third hint, the second stage is labeled as debut. Fourth hint, these stages end result if all passed is to become a qualified transmigrator.
It means she's being introduce right now to hell who they are or where those freaks are. From the world she came from, she can only compare this to the movie hunger games transported them to a different place to entertain those rich psychotics with weird fashions but this situation of her is much easier with much more complications of unknown back stories.
Those aliens want emotions.
Then she'll give them emotions.
The soul named Kira inside the body of little Yuri closed her eyes, her lips are curving, her mind is full of plays of how to bully and play the main characters under her hand.
That night, she packed her clothes ready for her tomorrow's escapade. She can't lose to the original Yuri's effort in giving a birthday gift to the male protagonist, is she?
