Chapter 48: Magic stones?!
"Why are you doing this?" Zaque asked, voice filled with disdain and uncertainty.
"Doing what?" Coco raised a hand and rubbed her nose, "Providing for you and the other mediators of Coco Hughes? If that’s it then I don’t have much to say."
"Don’t have much to say.." Zaque murmured, his eyes watching Coco’s movement like a hawk, "Why are buying baking supplies? We don’t have anything at home that could be used for baking."
Coco seemed to just realize that because she froze, her body grew stiff and rigid.
"Nothing? No oven? Clay oven? Earth oven? Cooking pit? No microwave? No nothing?" Coco asked, her eyebrows furrowed in disbelief.
"What? I mean, we do have a cooking pit because that’s where Heiren cooks our meals and we have this clay oven you speak of, but we can’t use it because we don’t have red magic stone." Zaque huffed out, staring at her in a confused manner.
"Magic stone?" Coco blinked, her rubbing motion on her nose ceasing as she gasped, her eyes wide and bright, "We have magic here?"
"Yes..?" Zaque said, his voice trailing off with reluctance, "Everyone has a mana here, even people like us."
"This world has magic?!" Coco gasps, her body trembling with delight and excitement, the previous gloomy mood of hers vanishing in an instant when she learned something amazing.
