Chapter 9: Stink
After the conversation with her soon-to-be ex-husbands, Coco and Lala went back to where they started. Coco started cutting trees because she wanted to build a house for her and Lala while the fairy grew a pair of tropical fruit trees that she sees from Coco's world, helping her replant the trees.
"You don't have to grow more trees whenever I bring down one, Lala." Coco said as she chopped another tree with her handmade stone axe, "I'm purposely making a clearing because I'm going to build our house here! You can grow more fruit if you want, just let me handle the hard labour, okay?"
"Okay~!" Lala agreed happily and moved farther away from Coco to sprout another orange tree. She was contemplating whether she should grow another fruit, but decided against it.
Ever since Coco unlocked her skills [Green fingers] and [Purification], she received a passive skill of [Stamina boost] and [Strength]. If she wasn't strong enough to take down a tree from its root a few days ago then she sure as hell can now! She actually feels bad because she felt like she received a cheat skill, but Lala assured her that it's a gift from Lulu.
The [Purification] skill was a blessing for her since she doesn't know how dirty a river water could be in this world. However, the [Strength] passive skill has been troubling her. Does that mean she could accidentally kill a person with a mere smack? A slap?
Or what if she accidentally destroy something? Her passive skill can't be deactivated and it's starting to freak her out. At first, she felt blessed because putting down trees became easy, but the more she thinks about it, the scarier it gets.
Don't get started with [Stamina Boost]! She doesn't feel tired after doing all the hard work! If she were back in her previous world, cutting down a tree would have taken her a few days, but it only takes her a few seconds right now!
She's getting scarier as seconds pass by.
After taking down the tenth tree that afternoon, she picked up the tree trunk and dropped it beside the stream of the river, next to the other tree trunks. It may be hard to hike the mountain to reach her home, but at least she loves the quiet and peace a seclusion can give.
