There Is No Need To Be Obsessed

son sharing the same room as her.
With that in mind, she turned the doorknob.

However, on second thought, wasn’t she in the only remaining room with a single bed available?

Then wouldn’t that person be assigned to her room?

And just as expected.
Someone was lying on the other bed.

Lia was very wary.

If it was His Lord’s lover, she must be a person of great status.

If she shared a room with such a person…!

Surely she would commit some discourteous act toward her.

Lia was about to run to Yuphon right away when she caught sight of her hair, which was disheveled on the bed.

It’s the colour Lia adored the most.

She had platinum hair.

“Could it be…”

Lia slowly approached the woman.

As she got closer, the visage of the other person became evident.

Moments later, Lia’s paycheck envelope dropped to the ground.

At the same time, the woman’s eyes blinked open.

They were deep blue.

When I opened my eyes, it was already evening.

The sunset light coming through the window told me that I had slept longer than expected.

Promptly, I lowered my gaze and looked at the girl who was frozen in stone.

A child…?

It was a cute girl with pink hair and pink eyes.

I could tell at once.

We’re roommates.

But my roommate’s reaction was strange.

It was because even though our eyes met, she just stood staring blankly at me without budging.

It’s like she’s looking at something she shouldn’t be seeing.

Soon I came to conclude that she was feeling repulsed by me.

Chances were some kind of rumour about being parachuted had spread about me, so it must have been difficult for her to openly talk to me because of reluctance.

But it would be difficult if I go ask for a room change now.

Yuphon already hated me, I didn’t want to look even more hateful for nothing.

Hence, I decided to talk to her in a friendly manner.

“Nice to meet you, young miss.”

She looked a lot younger than me, but since she was a colleague at work, I thought I should show some respect by using honorifics.

The girl was startled, stepped back, and suddenly fell over.

What-, what is wrong with her?

To my surprise, the girl exclaimed.

“Noble lady!”

“Pardon?”

“Is this a dream? To see your ladyship again…Oh gosh.”

As if trying to determine whether it was a dream, the girl pinched her cheeks hard, seemingly hurtful.

Soon the girl’s cheeks turned red, but she smiled.

“It’s not a dream…”

“Excuse me,… huh?”

As I was thinking about what to do since the kid seemed a bit abnormal, I suddenly noticed that the girl looked familiar.

Pink hair and pink eyes.
Watery eyes looking up at me.

“Don’t tell me you’re…?”

I finally recognised her.

It was the child I helped a month ago.

Tears began to well up in the girl’s eyes as I realised who she was.

Before long, tears were rolling down her cheeks and she bumped her head to the ground in front of me.

“I really wanted to see you one more time.
But to think it’s like this… like this… hic.”

“Ca-calm down…”

“Thank you, thank you, my lady.
Thanks to you, I was able to save my sister.
How… should I repay this favour… ”

Her cracked-up voice was mixed with occasional sniffles.
