Fear I follow

The Rose-Red Tyrant pt.3

"I want to see the f-flamingos!"

♡Azubah Pov♡

I followed Riddle to Mr. S' Mystery Shop so I could ask him for permission.

He went to a shelf and grabbed a jar of sugar cubes, and I decided to approach him.

"U-um, Prefect Rosehearts?" I squeaked out

Riddle turned around and looked down at me. "Huh? You're one the from the ceremony. You hang out with the trouble-makers." He said

"Uh, I was wondering if I can help Cater color the flamingos? If it's okay with you," I fiddled with my thumbs

"Did Cater ask you to help him? Dumping his responsibilities onto a child. He shouldn't have asked a child to help." Riddle mumbled stuff about Cater

"O-oh, no, he didn't ask me. I wanted to help him." I said, trying to help Cater get out of his grave.

"Why would you want to help? You're not in Heartslabyul?" He tilted his head

"I-I want to see the f-flamingos..." I explained

"The flamingos?" He questioned

"Yeah! I never heard of flamingos before, so I want to see one." I smiled brightly while pumping a fist in the air

Riddle smiled. "Pffft-hahaha!" Then he laughed. "If that's all you want to see, I'll show you them along with the hedgehogs."

"Really!" I happily asked

"Would you like to attend the Unbirthday Party? That way, you can see the flamingos and hedgehogs." Riddle had a small smile on his face

"E-Eh?! Are you sure?" I asked

"You're more well mannered than your friends." He said

"If it's okay, then I'll come to the party." I accepted

After getting permission from Riddle, it was time for me to leave.

"I gotta get back to Yuu before lunch is over."

"Yes, I shall take my leave as well." Riddle left to the counter

"Bye-bye, Prefect!" I waved and then left the shop

I made my way to the next class to meet up with the others. Once I got there, Yuu bombed me with questions about where I was and how I shouldn't run off.

"Dude, you're acting like you're her dad." Ace sweat dropped

"I don't know why that matters; I wander around by myself all the time." Grim crossed his arms

"I mean, Azubah is a child, so she shouldn't be by herself." Deuce tried to reason with Ace

"I talked to Prefect Rosehearts!" I answered

"Why would you want to talk with that tyrant?" Ace scoffed

"Cause Cater said I have ask for permission to color the flamingos with him." I explained

"Oh, what did he say?" Deuce asked

"He invited me to the Unbirthday Party and said he'll show me the flamingos and hedgehogs!" I happily said

Suddenly Grim jumped up

"Oh yeah, tiny! After school, we're going to pick chestnuts and make a tart!" Grim jumped in excitement

"Waaaah! There's so many chestnuts all over the place! It's a forest of all-you-can-eat Marron tarts for us!" Grim looked around
