The women looked at Tasia together, like looking at a rare animal. One of them stepped forward again to confirm whether she had really been to the second deck. Tasia nodded. Lan
They looked at each other and smiled knowingly, "Is that the young man over there who took you there?"
"You mean Philip?" Tasia blinked, "Of course not, I went by myself."
"go by yourself!?"
Facing the stunned expressions on the faces of the women in front of her, Tasia realized that she might have said something wrong. She opened her mouth half-open, and after a while she whispered, "...It's not that, it's just that I want to go by myself. , so I chose a day for him to accompany me——"
As Tasia spoke, she noticed that several women in front of her were looking at one of their brown-haired companions at the same time.
The brown-haired woman did not smile from beginning to end, but always bit her lip, as if she had been insulted.
"What's wrong?" Tasia asked tentatively, "It's weird to go to the second deck...?"
The woman standing in front of Tasia held up a bone fan and covered the lower half of her face. She raised her head slightly, with a look of victory on her face.
"Of course it's not surprising. I saw when you first came here that you also found a good man, because a truly good partner will never refuse to take you to explore the new world. He will definitely become a considerate husband in the future... …It couldn’t be more obvious.”
"...Uh," Tasia frowned, "You may have misunderstood, he and I don't have... that kind of relationship."
"Isn't he your guardian?"
Tasia was startled, and suddenly realized that the women in front of her seemed to have mistaken her and Phillip's identities-perhaps because of the badge. Judging from their previous reactions, it seems that it is more common for men to wear brooches here...
"Ms. Tasia." The bartender's voice came from the side, waking Tasia who was lost in thought again.
She turned around and a glass of wine was pushed in front of her. Lan
"Maybe you need a drink," the bartender said with a smile. "You look a little anxious."
Tasia held up her wine glass gratefully, and took advantage of the break to reorganize her thoughts, "...Yes, the relationship between Philip and I is that of a guardian and a risk passenger, but we haven't...well, I should say There was no mention of going any further, so..."
"Let me guess," a woman took Tasia's arm, "you should be the only risky passenger in your guardianship, right?"
"...sort of." Tasia whispered, "We have one-to-one supervision."
Several women let out a sigh at the same time.
"So innocent..." one of them said, "Where can I find such a good man now..."
Several women laughed at the same time. Amidst the laughter, the brown-haired woman stood up suddenly. She tensed her face and left without saying anything. Lan
Tasia was startled by this sudden movement. She looked at the back of the brown-haired woman. Just as she was about to get up and ask what happened, the woman next to her held her shoulder down.
"Ignore her, let's continue chatting."
"But she looks like—"
"Oh, I told you to leave it alone. This kind of person doesn't deserve to be with us in the first place."
Tasia was a little surprised, "Isn't she your friend?"
Several women burst into fierce laughter again.
"How can we be friends with her? She is just a bastard, my dear." Lan
Tasia's nerves jumped slightly.
"Besides," a woman leaned close to Tasia's ear, "can't you see that she is jealous of you and is going crazy with jealousy?"
"Jealous of me...what are you jealous of me for?"
"Jealous, you didn't have to do anything and just sat here," the woman said softly. "Her guardian didn't like her and never wanted to take her to dinner parties, so she went to hook up with another guardian. Unfortunately, she was unlucky. I got one with a particularly strong taste——"
"Forget about her," another woman cut off the topic. She looked at Tasia eagerly: "Tell us what the second deck is like!"
"...None of you have been there?" Tasia asked.
Several people shook their heads. Lan
"But I know where that place is..." one of them said suddenly, "I heard the men talking about..."
"I've also heard that they are even more powerful than real women. If it weren't for the limited number of times, my guardian would want to live there directly——"
"You may have misunderstood," Tasia looked at the floor, "I went to the second deck, but I went to play tennis."
The expressions of several women were slightly condensed. After a while, they looked away awkwardly.
"Forget the conversation just now," one of them smiled, "We were abrupt."
"No, can you tell me about your situation?" Tasia looked at a few people, "What is the relationship between risk passengers and guardians on your side?"
...Lan
Towards the end of the dinner, several men came to the bar to pick up their risky passengers, and soon only Tasia and a woman in costume were left at the table. The woman's eyes were always fixed on the dance floor, showing no interest in chatting, so the two of them held cups and silently watched the dance music that was still going on not far away.
"I have to go, Tasia," the woman said suddenly, "my guardian waved to me."
"Okay, bye."
"Goodbye." The woman stepped forward and met Tasia face to face. "By the way, since you haven't had a further relationship with your guardian yet, there is something I should remind you now..."
"What?"
"On your first night with him, you must be careful. You can't just not react at all..."
"What first night—" Tasia suddenly understood, "Well, that might be too far for us."
"It's not far, little girl, it's not far at all. It's his style to be polite now, but you are a woman, you can't be ignorant." The woman whispered, "Do you still remember the woman who suddenly walked away just now? , do you know why his guardian doesn’t like her?”
"……Why?"
"Because she doesn't know how to act, she just knows how to express her feelings directly on her face."
"But...why act?"
"Why... because everyone is acting!" The woman blinked, "Don't be afraid of embarrassment, men can't tell the truth from the lie."
Tasia looked at her, "But how to act, what to act...?"
"Can't you go to the second deck? I heard that there are some very experienced teachers in this field there. Just go and ask them." The woman smiled, "If you are too embarrassed to go, just imagine us. The feeling of self-entertainment, if you follow that, it must be right." Lan
Someone called the woman's name in the distance, and the woman's body trembled, and she quickly lifted up her skirt, "No, I have to go there right away... I wish you good luck, Tasia, and I hope to see you here again in the future!"
