Why Did I Become the Villainess?-Chapter 52 - Friends

We are walking back to my room now. I still don't understand most of the things they said. I'm quite overwhelmed with what is happening right now.

What's the task? What with the book? What spirit? Virtouse? What are those things?

Earl suddenly stops walking and looks back at me. "You probably have a lot of questions right now. Are you tired? We could meet some of my seniors here so they could help you answer every question you want to ask."

I shake my head at him as a response. I'm still overwhelmed with things that just happened. I don't think my mind could digest any information right now.

"I'll probably rest. I still cannot digest everything they said. Everything seems surreal for me."

Earl just nodded his head and stopped in front of my room. "I understand you. I was like that too when I first came here, but you'll get used to it eventually. Anyway, you can just come to me if you feel okay afterward. I'm mostly around the vicinity."

"Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. If you'll excuse me, I'll be going inside now."

Earl nods before he opens the door for me. He also closed it for me, like how a gentleman does. I guess chivalry isn't dead, eh?

I walk to the bed and lay there. What in the world is happening to me? First, I was transmigrated from the real world to the fictional world. Second, I was sharing my body with the villainess, and I was tasked to be the villainess if I wanted to be a writer. And now, I am in the in between world. Why is this happening to me? Isn't most isekai stories is all about the female lead being a character of a story, and then she will fell in love with the male lead. But why is this happening to me?

I rolled on the bed. And now, they said I couldn't get out of this world if I let the fictional world collapse. This. This is really unfair!

'That's the reason why you are in the fictional world and is living as Csille Lauretré, the villainess of your novel. You want to be a real writer, right? Then you need to prove to the book that you really want to be a writer.'

I suddenly get up on my bed when I remember what Teague said to me. I need to prove to the book that I want to be a writer? But how can I prove it? They didn't even explain it to me.

I slump on the bed again. I guess I'll just sleep this off. My head is already hurting with all the information I couldn't even process. No matter how much I think about what they said, I couldn't really process it all. Maybe if I sleep, I'll get a clear understanding about it, or better, perhaps I'll wake up in the Illorian City again. I really hope so.

I woke up feeling a little better. Although I still don't have answers to my questions, at least my head isn't hurting now.

I look to the window to check what time is it when I realized that this world doesn't have the concept of day or night. Outside the window is just darkness and nothing more.

I look around and saw a clock hanging on the wall. The clock said it's already seven thirty, but I couldn't really tell if it's morning or night. I'm also not sure if this time follows the time of the real world or the fictional world.

I was startled when someone suddenly knocks on my door, and I heard someone talk outside. "Ysavel, are you there?"

I frown. The voice doesn't sound familiar to me. So who could that be? I cautiously walk towards the door. I am about to look for a peephole when suddenly the door becomes transparent, and I could clearly see who is in front of my door.

Two ladies are standing in front of me. The lady on the left looks younger. She is wearing a lolita dress which really suits her petite height. She looks like a doll. The lady on the right looks like a lady in the nineties. She's wearing a doll dress with a nineties hairstyle. She looks like those nineties stars. She looks stunning. She could probably be a miss universe in the real world.

"What do you think Ysavel look like? I hope she looks cute like a doll," the lolita lady said to the other lady.

But it doesn't make sense. Why would she ask it if I'm clearly standing in front of her? Is she blind? But it doesn't look like she is.

The lady that looks like from the nineties rolled her eyes at the lolita lady. "Can you please stop with the thinking that every newcomer will look like a doll. I heard from Earl that she looks beautiful."

The lolita lady pouted. "Hmph, that Earl! Every girl in his eyes is beautiful."

"Hey! Stop that! If Earl hears you, he'll be mad for you for sure."

The lolita lady scoffs and crosses her arms. "And so what if he gets angry? I'm just telling the truth. Also, I don't think he'll do something to me even if he's angry."

The nineties lady just shakes her head and stares at me. I am about to introduce myself when the nineties lady suddenly raised her hand and knocks in the air.

Did I see it right? She knocks in the air? And does my ears playing tricks on me because I definitely heard a knocking sound. What in the world is happening.

"I, Uhm," I tried to talk to them, but I couldn't come up with a complete sentence. My mind is on whirl again. I don't understand why these ladies in front of me are acting like I'm not in front of them.

The lolita lady suddenly looks at me. "Oh, no, I think she is using the vision power." The lolita lady then tugs the sleeve of the nineties lady.

What does she said? Vision power? What vision power is she talking about? I am using it? But I don't even have power, to begin with.

The nineties lady sighs and looks at me. "Ysavel, if ever you are in front of the door and is currently seeing us. Please know that only you can see us but not us. You are currently using the Vision power. It means you can see us even if we are behind this door. To turn it off, just get rid of your thoughts of wanting to see what's behind that door."

I followed what the nineties lady said. I close my eyes and tried to concentrate my attention on something else. And when I open my eyes, I could see the door in front of me, and I couldn't hear anything from the outside.

I frowned. Am I hallucinating?

I was startled once again when someone knocks on the door. I immediately open it and see the two ladies in front of the door.

The lolita lady smiles widely at me. "Hi, I'm Aaline. I am twenty five years old. I'm a ballerina."

The nineties lady shakes her head at Aaline's enthusiasm. "Hi, Ysavel. I am Soiartze. I'm twenty two years old, and I'm an actress. I heard from Earl that you're the same age as mine and that you are a writer, is it true?"

I nod my head at them. Who are these people? Where did they came from?

Aaline, the lolita lady, immediately saw my reaction. She then scratches her nape. "I know it's all sudden, and you're still probably adjusting in here. However, please forgive us for bothering you. It's just, it's been a long time since we have a newcomer here, and your age is closer to us. That's why we run immediately here to introduce ourselves."

"I'm sorry if we overwhelmed you. We don't mean any harm. We just want to be friends with you. But if you're still not okay. We understand that. We'll just leave you for now, then. We're sorry for interrupting." Soiartze seconded.

I shake my head to get myself out of trance. I waved both of my hands to them. "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect someone to see me. That's why I couldn't react immediately. Also, I will be more than happy to be your friend. And you don't need to leave. I actually plan to look for Earl because he said he would introduce me to his senior. But I guess, I wouldn't need him now."

Aaline immediately smiled widely at me. She then clings to one of my arms. She's smaller than me, so it's easier for her to cling to me. "That's great. I have another friend. Also, you don't need that, Earl. We could help you find our seniors to introduce them to you. Right, Soiartze?"

Soiartze just smiles at Aaline while shaking her head. "You really have your way to people, Aaline." She then looks at me. "Welcome to the Kosmo Metaxy, and you don't need to worry. We will help you with your stay here. You said you want to meet the seniors, right?"

I nod my head at her. Although I'm not really sure what and who the seniors are. But since Earl said that they could help me understand things clearly, I would like to meet them.

Aaline claps her hand all of a sudden. "Come on. You got the right person. We could immediately bring you to the seniors now." Aaline is about to drag me when Soiartze suddenly stops her.

"Aaline, have you forgotten?"

Aaline stops walking and looks guilty at me. "Sorry, I forgot that the seniors are busy dealing with things right now. It would probably take some time before they could have free time for us. But don't worry, since we are here, we could entertain you for a while."

Soiartze messed the hair of Aaline, which caused Aaline to pout at her. "Sorry about her enthusiasm. She's always like that. Lively and always full of energy."

I shake my head at her. "That's okay. I don't mind. I actually miss having someone like that."

I suddenly remember all those kids in the orphanage I love to visit when I was still in the real world. They are just like Aaline. They are lively and always full of enthusiasm.

When will I ever visit you again, kiddos? I hope you are all doing fine and always have a smile on your face.

"Ysavel?"

I look at Aaline, who is looking at me curiously. She really looks like a cute cat. I want to pinch her.

"Are you okay?" Soiartze asks worriedly.

I shake my head at her. "I'm okay. Sorry, I just remember something."

"You probably remember someone in the real world, right? I understand you. Sometimes it also happens to me. It must be good to come back there." Aaline said sadly.

Even Soiartze looks down. I put my hand on Soiartze hands. "I thought you would entertain me. Where would you bring me then? I want to see how you would entertain me."

Soiartze and Aaline both smile at me. Aaline excitedly tugs my arms. "Oh, I know a place. I know a place. Come on. I'll show you something I'm sure you have never seen all your life."

I look at Soiartze questioningly. She just shrugged her shoulders at me and smile. "Just let her be. I'm sure you will be amazed at what she wants to show you."

After hearing Soiartze words, I just let Aaline drags me. We've passed through many rooms and walk for a couple of minutes before she stops on a huge green door. The door looks like the huge door of the room where I met the Virtuose. The only difference is its color. Its color green.

"Welcome to the Paraiso, Ysavel," Aaline said before opening the huge green door.
