Chapter 10 - 10. Pretending to be Great is Tiring

(Author: New storyline in English version, many new characters, the Indonesia version is different from the English version. The original storyline is my work, I don't do translations from other people's stories, this story is purely my personal creation. I'm sorry if my translation is wrong, I just want to share the story I made.)

The place is shabby the houses around are very attentive, the old grandfather with white hair named Ota, he invites Ayu to go to he's house. Ayu followed behind, Hiro whispered to Ayu to choose to return to the Inn. A very cheerful little girl named Ruri is the granddaughter of Grandpa Ota. The voice of a boy's younger brother from Ruri, named Ruro, he looked very surprised to see Ayu and Hiro's arrival. Ruri advised Ruro not to worry, she could calm little brother so easily.

"I'm glad they always get along like that," Grandpa Ota muttered.

"You live in this house?" Ayu saw Grandpa Ota.

"Who are they?" Ruro asked with Ruri.

"They are good people, I was helped by them," said Ruri in answer to Ruro's question. They are both very similar only gender sets them apart.

"They are my two grandchildren," said Grandpa Ota.

"They are very cute, I like children," Ayu said to Grandpa Ota.

"You like children?" Hiro approached Ayu.

"Yes, I love how cute they are, I love children, I don't know why when I see them I remember when I was in kindergarten."

"What's that?"

"That's where the kids go to school."

"Oh, I just found out there's such a thing."

"Too bad in this world there is no such place," Ayu muttered.

The condition of the house is not suitable for habitation because the roof of the house looks very bad. Ayu feels sorry for Grandpa Ota, Ruri and Ruro who have to live in a place like this. Hiro stroked Ayu's back, Ayu turned and smiled at Hiro.

"You don't have to be embarrassed here, you just make yourself at home," Grandpa Ota said.

"I will consider this place my home too," Ayu replied.

"Hoho, what a kind young lady, I'm glad to hear you talk so passionately like that."

"She is indeed very different, she really is my future woman," Hiro muttered very quietly.

"What did you say?" Ayu turned around.

"I didn't say anything," replied the lying Hiro.

Ayu ignores what Hiro mumbles, Ayu invites Ruro and Ruri to play. Grandpa Ota saw Hiro who seemed to sigh when he saw Ayu. Judging from wherever Ayu is a young woman old enough to marry, Hiro thinks while remembering to himself that Ayu is still a child in a young woman's body. Grandpa Ota stroked Hiro's right shoulder, Grandpa Ota advised him to be more patient if approaching a woman requires many ways and consideration of feelings.

"That, I'll do it," said Hiro.

"Hiro, you shouldn't complain about love, you shouldn't give up halfway through," Grandpa Ota said.

After a long time Ayu and Hiro were at Grandpa Ota's house, Hiro approached Ayu to tell her that it was time to return to the Inn. Ayu waved when she left and promised to come back another time. On the way home Ayu and Hiro talked to each other, Hiro wanted to hold Ayu's hand, but Hiro decided not to, he had to restrain himself, he didn't want the feeling of love to get out of control. Ayu looked around the main street of the city, there were many busy people and even horse-drawn carriages passing by on the road.

"Main roads and slums are very different," Ayu muttered.

"Of course, since it's all arranged, the people claiming to be Nobles, they're doing all they can to regulate the city's territory, I think it might be like that."

"Rich people do manage a lot of things, I don't really understand what they think, it's not like that," Ayu mumbled.

"Now we will go to the Inn first," said Hiro.

"I want to go for a walk again!"

"Ayu, it's getting late, we have to go home."

"No. I want to go for a walk, I can't just go home."

"Hey, come on we have to go home, we can do some sightseeing some other time."

"Mmh, fine, you have to promise."

"Yes, I promise."

Argeta who was previously worried, she sees Ayu and Hiro now walking alone. Argeta asked, 'where have you two gone?' Argeta couldn't believe the two of them had gone on a date so quickly. A smile with so many meanings turned to Hiro who immediately understood Argeta's smile. Ayu looks at Hiro and Argeta alternately, Ayu feels uncomfortable if Hiro looks at each other with Argeta. Ayu stepped foot to go to her room, Hiro followed Ayu who looked annoyed. Argeta touched her own lips with her fingers, Argeta guessed that Ayu was jealous. "Is she jealous of me?" murmured Argeta.

{Blame!}

Hiro was surprised because the door was immediately closed, he felt like someone was jealous? Hiro was surprised in his own mind who thought that Ayu was jealous of him. Hiro turned away to go to his own room, Hiro cheerfully passed Argeta just like that. Argeta gave a thumbs up, Hiro understood the meaning of Argeta's behavior. Ayu, she who was in the room, she was lost for a moment with a strange feeling in her chest. Everything is very tiring for Ayu who is a little used to the new world, she thinks about many things while daydreaming while looking at the ceiling of she's room.

"What should I do now? I'm confused if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid I can't handle everything. I want to go home~, I miss Papa and Mama, I want to go back to Indonesia but, I don't know how, will I come back like before if I could go back to Indonesia? I'm tired of pretending to be great~." She is confused with her own thoughts. She doesn't know what else to do, so Ayu wants to cry.
