Chapter 110: An unexpected conversation
With the basket filled to the brim with orange, strawberry, and a few plucks of dragon fruit, she made her way back to the village, her heart cleansed off of frustration after letting it out while she was working.
"What’s a better way to let out some steam when you’re feeling that way? By working yourself to the core, of course!" Coco said to herself, hyping herself up with a nod of her head.
"Aye, aye! Working to let out some steam!" Lala agreed enthusiastically as she flew around Coco’s head, hovering just above her so Coco could walk properly.
Since she was already feeling better than earlier today, she decided to spend the rest of her day lounging inside her room or bothering her married friends to pass the time and maybe apologize why she couldn’t bring back any monsters.
When she dropped off the basket at Magia Pierre, Mrs. Tani was astonished and pleased as usual, she was even more ecstatic when Coco left a couple of dragon fruit in the basket.
She originally planned to take all the ten dragon fruits with her, but since Mrs. Tani looked like she wanted some of the exotic fruit so she decided to give her two dragon fruits as compensation for a small harvest.
Although, sure, she wasn’t the one growing the fruits she was harvesting and she’s not claiming those as hers, but Lala was completely alright at the fact that everyone thinks that Coco was growing the fruits she was bringing back to the village.
As Coco closes the door of the magic stone shop, she hears a familiar gruff yet monotone voice calling out to her a couple of feet away from her.
"Coco."
