Chapter 109: Taking the frustration out
"Just what am I doing wrong, Lala?" Coco asked, her voice quiet and small, but full of emotion.
Her emerald irises glancing at the time duration of the main quest displayed over the brown scroll, making her mood get worse than before.
Coco was deep in the forest and didn’t bother going up the mountain to go to her little garden of vegetables, opting to have the lovely garden fairy use her wonderful magic and her, being so happy that she finally got to be of use for Coco.
Coco’s hands were moving quickly as she harvested fruit from the tree before her. Her body was almost hidden by the branches and barks, the greenery surrounding her providing both cover and a protection.
Even though the forest was quiet and peaceful, saved from the occasional chips of the cheery birds and squeaks of forest rats, Coco was mumbling incoherent words under her breath, expressing her current strong emotion.
Coco’s face was etched with frustration, her movements jerky as she snatched at the fruit dangling from the tree above her.
The fruits were ripe and ready to harvest, the bright colors almost mocking her furious and agitated state as she plucked them from their tiny branches— uncaring if she unintentionally squished one of the fruits under her grip.
"You’re not doing anything wrong, Coco— eep!" Lala tried to comfort her human friend, but Coco accidentally threw the fruit over her shoulder and almost hit the fairy square in the face.
It was fortunate that Lala managed to sprinkle some fairy dust on the citrus fruit just in time.
