Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

"Thank you for welcoming us personally, Madam. My name is Lucy, and I came here at the invitation of your daughter, and we were close friends, Hm?!".

As the one who held the seniority from everyone else, Lucy stepped forward and introduced herself. With her beauty and elegance, everyone who witnessed her gasped in shock at how beautiful a person can be.

Her body suddenly jolted when she saw Serafina's mother, who smiled at her. From Lucy's perspective, she saw a black dot that gathered around Madam's left chest. Lucy knows what that is, and she felt it was horrifying for someone who held that much, could survive all this time.

Soma, who didn't miss her slip, observed her with closed eyes, but this was not the time to discuss that here, so he stepped forward and opened his mouth.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Madam. My name is Soma, and Miss Serafina has given us her generosity for inviting us to this wonderful place".

"Hmph, look at that silver tongue. It gives me creeps seeing you like that".

Serafina, who intentionally retorted to Soma's conduct, made the atmosphere in the place turn awkward as they saw Soma's body tremble in anger. But as a guest, he couldn't let the others see his snapped face. Soma forces his stiff face to smile and speak.

"Thank you for the remark".

"Uwaah, that smile is so hideous".

Lucy, who saw their interaction, chuckled while keeping her attention to Serafina's mother. Before the atmosphere became damp, Hina and Xiao Lian, beside Soma, stepped forward.

"My name is Akabane Hina; I thank everyone who gave me this chance to visit Italy".

"Mm, My name is Xiao Lian, thank you".

"Oh, my, So polite. Let's stop talking at the entrance; everyone, come inside. Please prepare something for our guests here".

"Understood".

"I will take care of Mama".

Serafina, who saw one of the servants try to grab the wheelchair, ordered it to be given to her, and the servant bowed before stepping back.

Soma and the other ascend the stairs as they enter the mansion; it is vast. The ceiling is high and decorated with a painting of a certain god with his followers. Each side of the mansion's interior was filled with many antique and expensive vases and paintings, adding a little aesthetic touch.

The mansion does not have too much luxury because this place gives a vibe that prioritises comfort over luxury, which is quite lovely.

They were guided toward the back of the room, where a terrace and a vast field stretched with lush trimmed grass and trees on each side.

"Everyone, have a seat!".

As the madam said, everyone began to take their seats. Six chairs surrounded a round table made from glass, and then, as they were seated, a servant came pushing some trolley filled with confectionaries and tea.

The female servant with trained hands began to pour each cup with steamed tea, serving it to the guest beside the madam. She also serves confectionaries in the middle.

"Once again, thank you for coming to this faraway island. It was pretty late, but my name is Beatrice Lawrence. I was pleased to meet you, everyone".

"Pleased to meet you, madam".

Lucy greets her back as the others offer their nod in understanding.

"Oh, Please help yourself. I hope you enjoy it".

"Thanks, Mama. It's been a while since I enjoyed this".

Serafina, who acts differently in front of her mother, casually sips the tea with her childish conduct that startled not just Soma but the others around. Beatrice could only sigh seeing her darling daughter, who didn't even change in the slightness.

"Sera, mind your manners".

"Eh? I am in my home, so there is no need for me to do that; it's tiring, you know, acting properly all the time".

"This child".

Everyone in the place spread their mouths in joy. The pleasant atmosphere and the cheery laughter that came from the women filled one's heart with peace. As the only male in the place, Soma could only interact with his gesture with a slight nod and shake his head in answering the question that was thrown at him by the other.

Soma felt out of place, but he held on to it and enjoyed the fragrant tea that calmed his mind.

"By the way, Soma, was it?".

"Yes?".

Beatrice holds her cheeks in both palms while staring at him mischievously. That expression reminded him of Serafina, who always acts like that to him.

"Are you and my daughter dating?".

"Mama?!".

Serafina and the other two girls reacted differently, whereas Hina, his official girlfriend, could only smile wryly when Soma got that question. Xiao Lian stiffened her face, making her like a robot, and Lucy's face flushed red, for this topic was too much for her.

"It was not like that".

"Hm? Really. I thought you came back here bringing a boy to this house to brag about your boyfriend".

"Nothing like that at all. I invite him here because I have been in his care ever since we met so…".

"Hou, can you please elaborate".

"Geez, Mama".

Soma, who was ignored, instantly watched the spectacle amusedly as he never saw Serafina losing her composure, even when she dealt with his apathetic attitude toward her. Still, in front of her mother, she was just a child.

"So, how about it, Mr. Boyfriend?".

"Mama!".

The day spent on the terrace was lively, where Serafina, who acts like a girl her age, can finally reunite with her mother, ever since she was so busy with her work and the academy. She could only go back home at this time.

***

A night passed. Soma, who finished his daily quest in his room, then bathed and changed into his new clothes.

The room he was assigned was pretty affordable for a one-person living; it had a single bed, a small drawer beside it and a closet on the other; inside the room, beside the entrance door, there was another door that led toward a bathroom that combined with a toilet.

As the morning light filtered through the window behind him, it gave color to the room as Soma finally finished with his change. Today's schedule was a trip that Serafina had proposed. They were in Italy, so they used this as a chance to loosen up once at a time.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

However, that didn't happen with Soma, who had already set some of his consciousness to circulate his mana and lightning magic. Suddenly, the door in the room knocked as someone spoke behind the door.

"Soma, are you ready?".

"Yes, I am".

The door creaked open, and Hina, with her usual tomboyish style, peeked through the gap. Soma approached and stood in front of her for a while, making Hina blink in wonder.

Soma observed her appearance, which made him smile, for she didn't show much skin except her navel, but if Hina didn't make a huge movement, it would be fine.

"What?".

As Hina began to feel embarrassed because of the staring, she lifted her face only to turn stiffened because Soma's face was approaching her; with a tender touch between their lips, Hina's mind and heart burst with tremendous joy.

"Let's go".

"Mm".

"Ehem".

Another third-party voice came from their side, and they found Serafina with a vein on her forehead and smiled at the two couples. Xiao Lian, whose mood seemed dampened, threw her gaze away. Also, Lucy covered her face with her opened palm, slightly peeking through her fingers.

"Let's go, you lovebirds!".

"Sure, Hina, your hand".

"Eh?!".

Without waiting for her response, Soma grabbed her left hand and dragged her to the other, making the other two girls who were always with him sullen.

They went toward the entrance door, where Alan and Violet were already waiting, along a limousine with an opened door. They all entered the car and began to ride from the mansion toward the capital of Italy, Rome.

The journey was lively, and after they arrived at the place, Alan excused himself and left Violet to take care of Serafina's needs.

"We arrived. Where should we go, Soma?".

"I don't know. You are the one who invited us here".

"Then follow me!".

They don't have any destination in mind, so they visit a historical and famous place and take some photos together, creating a memory to be remembered.

With five beautiful girls flocking together, it sure brought much unnecessary attention to their side. But Soma occasionally glares back at the males who try to hit on them while slightly leaking his murderous intent because it will be a pain if he must deal with them.

As the time flew by and the sun had already hung above their heads, Serafina turned to others.

"It's already noon, how about we get something to eat?".

Everyone in the group nodded, including Violet, who kept her mouth shut; their current location was on the city square, where many pedestrians and tourists walk around aimlessly.

As they walked on the street, a pair of adult men wearing formal black and grey suits approached their side. With the confident atmosphere the men brought, they gained the attention of Soma's group, especially Serafina, who scowled her face and Violet, who stood in front, shielding her.

"Good day to you, Miss Serafina. It's been a while since we met, but your beauty still mesmerises me; this Victor is truly fortunate to see you in this place".

"Let's go, everyone!".
