ought it was all a lie.

The garden I’ve seen wasn’t like thos.
Rather, the garden was so shabby.
But the garden in front of me was exactly what I saw in the book.

“So beautiful.”

“Are you satisfied?”

“Yes! I love it.”

Just like the saying that a good thing reminds me of a loved one, I naturally remembered my mother.

“Mom would have liked it if she saw this.”

“My Lady.”

“Hm?”

“You must have thought of your mother.”

“…How did you know?”

“You smile the most lovingly whenever you think of your mother.”

“No, don’t think you know me that well.”

Staring at Cecilia for no reason, I zipped my lips and moved into the garden.

“I need to see more of what’s in there.”

“Sure, you can go further.”

“Okay.”

So I left Cecilia behind me and quickly approached the fountain.

But the tranquility and comfort didn’t last very long.

There was a girl who suddenly appeared.

“Who is this?”

Unlike me, the girl with black hair and blue eyes smiled as soon as she saw me.

“Oh, it’s you.
The new fake daughter.”

As soon as I saw her, my eyes naturally went there as I saw someone hostile to me.
But as soon as I saw that the person right in front of me was a girl that was about the same size as me, the thought of getting angry cooled down.

“Yes, that’s me.”

“…D-Did you just ignore me?”

“I didn’t ignore you.”

‘Do you want me to pick some flowers here and bring them to your mom?’  I quickly shook away that thought.

As soon as I was done, I looked at Cecilia.

“Cecilia, can I pluck some flowers from here?”

“Yes, of course!”

I was permitted to do so, so I could choose the pretty ones.
My mom had pretty blonde hair like a starlight, so yellow flowers would be pretty, so I picked and picked flowers for a long time.

But the unnamed girl approached me and hit me hard.

Thanks to this, the flowers that had been collected fell to the floor helplessly.

Due to this unexpected situation, I turned my head to the girl with a cold, stiff face.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Now you see me, don’t you? It’s not because you don’t see me.”

I shook my head with a deep sigh as she started a fight for no reason.

“Ha… if you want to pick a fight, go somewhere else.
I’m busy.”

I didn’t think I’d stand down for saying that, but the girl was so awful.
