After a few days, Mirayuki arrived at Yanna's house early in the morning, accompanied by her assistant. They had everything prepared for the day's plans.
"Did you bring everything you need?" Mirayuki asked Vanessa, ensuring they wouldn't miss anything later.
Vanessa nodded, confirming that she had everything she needed.
"We are going abroad for now as I have something that needs to be settled there in person. You are going wherever I go. I hope there won't be any problem on your side." Mirayuki said informing Vanessa
"There's nothing to worry about on my side," Vanessa replied.
"Then it's good. Yanna, this is the assistant I'm talking about. She will follow your orders unconditionally. Also, this is my special badge. You can use my power to deal with him using this. You can ask Suki where and how you can use it," Mirayuki said, pushing a 3-inch golden badge with a phoenix engraved on it.
Yanna took the badge. She could tell it was made of pure gold. She carefully appreciated the badge, then gave a playful smile to Mirayuki. "Aren't you trusting me too much? What if I use it recklessly?"
Mirayuki stared into her eyes. In Mirayuki's eyes, Yanna's obsidian eyes were shining with playfulness like a child who got a toy and thought it was a treasure. ' Does she think she can attract me with those beautiful eyes? Heh... she can't beat Oliver's golden puppy eyes. '
Mirayuki smirked. "Then use it, I don't mind," she said while twirling her hair with her index finger.
"Yanna, be serious," Vanessa said, knowing that Yanna tended to be playful, but Mirayuki was an omega for her it seems like the two is flirting
' Is it really okay to leave Yanna alone? Melody will join Fiona soon so no one will be around her. Yanna is too kind, especially to girls, although she's aware of genders, she just became more gentle and considerate to omegas. An alpha like her will definitely be a target of all genders, ' Vanessa thought without showing her worry
Vanessa looked at Suki, then said to Yanna and Miryuki, "You two talk first. I have to say something to Ms. Suki." She stood up and invited Suki to the kitchen. Suki followed and had a talk with Vanessa.
Mirayuki put away her smile after seeing Vanessa going to the kitchen with Suki and continued to talk. "You can do whatever you want with my badge, as long as you can discipline him. I want him to be loyal to me alone."
Yanna, who had also stopped playing around, became serious. "You know it won't be easy."
Mirayuki smiled sarcastically. "Don't be humble in front of me. I know you can do it."
"I'm not being humble."
"Yanna, you know me, right? So well that you even know my favorite food when no one is supposed to know it. So you must also know by now that I already know everything about you, right? It's just.. how can you know me so well? I'm really curious. Oh, and how come you became all of a sudden so capable about everything? How did you become so good at acting? Seriously, are you even the real Yanna?"
Yanna knew that of all the characters in the novel, Mirayuki was the hardest to deal with. But can she really admit the truth? Won't Mirayuki go even crazier if she finds out all her hardships before were because she's just a character in the novel and had to go through hardship for her to become what she is now? That everything is for the plot of the story? However, she also knew that she can't just deny it as Mirayuki believes in the supernatural, and she has to give a believable explanation.
"I am Yanna, that's a fact, and I know you well because... how should I say it? Would you believe it if I said that I dreamt that we used to live in a world called Earth with only two genders?"
Mirayuki, who was ready to see how Yanna would deny or lie to her, became dumbfounded. So far, she couldn't see or feel any lie, looking at Yanna's eyes, looking at her sincerely, she hesitated but she had to know everything to calm herself. "Then what?"
Yanna continued, "In my dream, everything is different. It's like I really lived there throughout my life. In that world, I experienced a lot and met a lot of people. In that world, I met you. You look the same. She's competitive, she doesn't like losing."
"So... the me on Earth is the same as me?" Mirayuki asked with obvious interest in her eyes.
"Yes," Yanna replied with a smile, although she knew in herself that what she's saying is a lie, but she wants to make it a beautiful lie.
"I met her in a dessert shop, and it happened that we wanted the same avocado cake. But since it's the last one, I thought you would let me have it. However, guess what happened next? You actually frowned and insisted that it's yours. I have a picky taste, and their avocado cake happened to suit my liking. In the end, we ate it together, got to know each other, and became acquaintances."
"Acquaintance? Not friends?" Mirayuki asked in confusion because how can she share her favorite dessert if she doesn't like the person.
"Because you don't want to admit it to yourself, but it's okay. We know each other well, even we know each other's bad taste," Yanna chuckled just imagining if she would really be friends with Mirayuki in her past life; it would be interesting.
Mirayuki paused when Yanna mentioned her bad taste. "Bad taste, you say?"
"Yes, when someone tries to cheat on her, she makes them suffer a hundred fold until they beg her, but she just turns her back on them and lets them suffer."
"Don't you think she's cruel?" Mirayuki asked, lost in thought for a moment.
"Is she? But.. before she stands wherever she is, she suffers more. She won't say the whole story, but how can I not understand her? In the entertainment industry, not everything is as beautiful as what people see, what's more in business? If she's not strong, she will be the one who will suffer. She will be eaten alive just because her family looks down on women and doesn't support women as their head. She had to go through everything alone."
Mirayuki clenched her fist under the table as she remembered her past, but she still had a calm expression.
