A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 7] Extra Chapter 6

Extra Chapter 6: More Than a Friend

 

“Good afternoon, Ifia. How about the previous work?”

 

As if it had become part of her daily routine since her health got better, a silver-haired girl came to Ifia’s kiosk.

 

“Thank you very much, Amelia. I finished and sent the work earlier this morning. Now, I’m just tidying up this place before I go to Pulis Academy tomorrow.”

 

For Ifia, the noble girl in front of her was like a savior. Initially, Ifia had felt desperate because she couldn’t make enough money to pay for Pulis Academy, to the point of considering doing odd things to earn money. But now she could afford it, all thanks to the girl in front of her.

 

Ifia could earn 5-10 silver coins every time she completed a job. The enrollment fee for Pulis Academy for commoners was 1 gold coin, and 1 gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins. It had been a month since Amelia started visiting her place.

 

In fact, she could already pay the entrance fee for Pulis Academy.

But it was impossible for her to leave the work entrusted to her, so she finished it until the end, and this was her last task.

 

Most commoners were illiterate. So, Ifia offered services for writing letters and everything related to reading and writing. Unfortunately, commoners didn’t care much about such things because they didn’t understand and considered it useless.

 

It was understandable that no one bought Ifia’s services if she sold them on Roseanne Street because everyone there was illiterate and didn’t understand anything.

 

In an era where everything was still written manually, Ifia’s services were actually very much needed. The Barlen family had many business interests. Writing skills were highly valued by them.

 

When Amelia heard about this, she immediately offered help. Besides wanting to repay Ifia’s previous kindness, it also helped lighten the workload of the Barlen family’s employees.

 

Since the previous incident, their relationship had become closer.

 

Amelia also heard that Ifia was actually a student at Pulis Academy, but since she didn’t have the money to pay the enrollment fee, she hadn’t been allowed to participate in classes. And tomorrow, she would start attending school.

 

Hearing this made Amelia even happier. Due to health issues, Amelia was two years behind academically. In other words, she should be in the same grade as Ifia.

 

Hehehe, she and Ifia would be able to attend school together tomorrow. Amelia didn’t have friends at school because of her poor social skills and her status, which made people hesitant to approach her. But starting tomorrow, she would have a friend at school. And that friend would be Ifia.

 

Ifia was very adorable, and it would be even more delightful for her if Ifia could be the person she saw beside her every morning.

 

Usually, Amelia came to see Ifia just to chat, but now Amelia was coming to complete a mission given by the system yesterday.

 

The system suddenly issued a mission after Amelia finished reading a book. Previously, Amelia bought a book titled “More Than a Friend”. She didn’t know what the book was about, but judging from the title, it surely would help her strengthen her friendship with Ifia.

 

The system then issued the mission: ?The Symbol of Friendship mission: To improve this friendship, perform the actions described in the book “More Than a Friend.” The mission is considered complete once the host has progressed beyond 70% of the stages outlined in the book. Reward: A recipe for a dish from an Eastern country.?

 

When Amelia received the mission, she wanted to complete it as soon as possible. It wasn’t because of the reward, but rather because Amelia genuinely wanted her relationship with Ifia to be more than just friends, she wanted their relationship to become best friends.

 

Amelia took out a cake she had brought from her residence. Then, she held a spoon and directed it towards Ifia’s mouth, wanting to feed her.

 

“Ifia, I brought cake. I want you to try it. Ifia, come on, open your mouth.”

 

Amelia’s sudden intimate action caught Ifia off guard, making her face turn as red as an apple. This was definitely not what she had expected.

 

What’s this?

What is Amelia trying to do?

 

“A-Amelia, what are you trying to do?”

 

Amelia, seeing Ifia’s panicked and shy face, looked confused and quickly stated her intention.

 

“I want to feed you.”

 

Amelia knew herself well, she didn’t know how to socialize properly. So she tried to learn from books.

 

One of the explanations in the book was that an act like feeding someone with our own hands could help their relationship move beyond a mere friendship.

 

According to Amelia’s understanding, this was a way to become best friends. But why did Ifia react that way? Was this too hasty?

 

“B-but…”

 

“Is it not okay?”

 

Seeing Amelia’s disappointed expression, Ifia couldn’t bear it. Hmm, maybe she was overthinking it. Based on her observations so far, Amelia was very pure and innocent, she probably didn’t understand things like this. Finally, Ifia ate the cake that Amelia had fed her.

 

Amelia was very happy seeing this.

Does this mean they have become best friends?

 

“Hehe, do you like it, Ifia?”

 

Ifia was confused about how to respond. She couldn’t think of anything while eating the food Amelia fed her.

 

“I-it’s delicious.”

 

“I’m glad to hear that. I’ll bring it often for you.”

 

As for the cake, Amelia just had to ask the Barlen family’s cook to make it. After all, sharing food with a best friend was something she had wanted since she was a child.

 

“You don’t have to do that for me, Amelia. I don’t want to trouble you.”

 

Amelia had already been very kind to her, Ifia didn’t want to keep bothering her.

 

“Is that so?”

 

Amelia looked disappointed hearing that, but remembering that Ifia would be attending school with her tomorrow, Amelia brightened up again. There would be many opportunities to share food later at Pulis Academy.

 

“Ifia, you know today…”

 

After that, the two of them chatted as usual.

 

…………

 

On the other hand, two people were observing Amelia and Ifia from a distance.

 

“That face!! Ugh!! It reminds me of Ahriman, especially with that girl in front of her. It’s like watching Ahriman and her partner being all lovey-dovey. I will…”

 

Hearing Taroumati’s words, Saint Tiffany just stared at Taroumati coldly, making her immediately stop her sentence and turn into a pathetic little puppy drenched in rain.

 

“What are we actually doing here?” Taroumati tried to divert attention.

 

“I just wanted to make sure. Besides, I never told you to follow me.”

 

“I already told you I would be your bodyguard. Why are you so heartless towards me?”

 

“You don’t need to do that. My purpose is done, and I will return to the church now. And one more thing, don’t bother them! They are not “them”, and let them live their lives in peace.”

 

“Wait for me, Tiffany. Don’t just leave like that.”

 

…………

 

After chatting for quite a while, it was time for Amelia and Ifia to part ways.

 

“Ifia, thank you so much for today. It’s time for me to go back.”

 

“No, no. I should be the one thanking you, Amelia. I happen to be heading back as well. Would you like me to walk you to the front gate, Amelia?”

 

Amelia had previously told Ifia about this. Whenever Amelia had to go out, she was always escorted by the Barlen family’s coachman, who always waited at the front gate of Roseanne Street.

 

Even though the distance wasn’t far, it would be better for Ifia to accompany Amelia to her carriage to avoid any unwanted incidents.

 

“Walk me? Yes, I’d love that!!”

 

Ifia, her best friend, took the initiative to escort her. Could this be a sign of concern? According to the book “More Than a Friend,” when someone shows concern for someone else, it means they have special feelings for them.

 

It seems that the relationship from best friends needs to be elevated to even better friendship.

 

Amelia extended her hand, indicating she wanted Ifia to hold her hand.

 

According to the book “More Than a Friend,” this gesture signifies that the relationship between the two people is becoming close and unbreakable. Of course, she very much wanted to maintain this relationship with Ifia.

 

This Amelia’s sudden move reminded Ifia of her previous action, causing her face to flush red again out of shyness.

 

Was Amelia doing this intentionally?

Even though holding hands between girls is normal, what’s with this rapid development!

But perhaps she was probably overthinking it, Amelia was very kind and innocent and wouldn’t have any bad intentions towards her.

 

“Amelia, do you want us to hold hands while walking?”

 

“Yup.”

 

Amelia immediately answered firmly and showed no sign of embarrassment. It seemed true that Ifia was overthinking. Amelia was still innocent and someone who needed to be protected.

 

After that, they walked hand in hand until they reached the front gate of Roseanne Street, where the Barlen family’s coachman was waiting.

 

Before parting, Amelia looked at Ifia with a serious expression.

 

According to the book “More Than a Friend,” when a relationship is very close, it’s normal to give a kiss as a way to leave a mark on the person they care about as a sign of affection and care before the person goes away for a while.

 

Perhaps this kiss will complete the ?Symbol of Friendship? mission, as it was the final step outlined in the book and also the most crucial one.

 

There are many types of kisses. The earliest kiss in a relationship can start with kissing the hand, forehead, or cheek. After passing that phase, the two people can kiss on the lips.

 

Amelia really wanted to kiss Ifia’s lips, it must feel very nice. According to the book, when two people kiss on the lips, it means their relationship has reached the point where they have mutual feelings.

 

Amelia didn’t quite understand the meaning of “mutual feelings,” but she wanted Ifia to have feelings for her too, becoming the best of the best friends.

 

But Amelia had to patiently follow the book’s instructions from beginning to end. After that, she could kiss Ifia’s lips as much as she wanted once she finished the book.

 

Amelia couldn’t wait. Once she succeeded, she planned to buy and read another book from the same publisher titled “381 Ways to Get Intimate Between Girls.”

 

She didn’t know what that book was about, but judging by the title, it would definitely be useful for maintaining her relationship with Ifia.

 

A soft smile played on Amelia’s lips as she drew closer, then her fingers gently brushed through Ifia’s hair.

 

As Amelia leaned in, her warm breath mingled with the air between them. Then she pressed a soft kiss to Ifia’s forehead. Her gesture was natural, as if it were a normal action for her.

 

?Congratulations to the host for completing the “Symbol of Friendship” mission! Your relationship has progressed beyond what it was before, more than just a friendship! Now, a reward is being issued! Once again, congratulations!?

 

Upon hearing the notification that the mission was complete, Amelia couldn’t help but smile happily. She couldn’t wait to see her “best friend” Ifia again tomorrow.

 

“See you tomorrow in class, Ifia.”

 

“……”

 

The sudden intimacy made Ifia’s face turn bright red, her heart racing uncontrollably.

Ifia couldn’t say a word and stood frozen in place as she watched Amelia slowly walk away.

 

Amelia was very strange today, where did she learn all that? She just learned bad things!

It seemed she would have to explain many things to the pure and innocent Amelia tomorrow. Her heart might explode if Amelia kept doing that to her.

 

Wait a minute, did Amelia say “class”?

 

Could it be that they are actually in the same class?
