Chapter 143: Learning new things
"What took you so long inside the bathroom?" Renaldo asked when Coco emerged from the doorway.
"Was sorting things out." Coco answered, a small smile creeping to her lips as she settled on the opposite couch and sitting right on the opposite of her friend.
"Sort things out? In the bathroom?" Renaldo raised an eyebrow for a quick second, but didn’t question Coco further and instead, smiled at her, "Anyway, my wife is still cooking and I’m done cutting the vegetables. Why don’t we play chess to pass the time?"
Coco hummed and thought about it for a moment before she shook her head. "I don’t want to. Chess gets boring if I play it too often."
"Oh." Renaldo mumbled and frowned, "Well? What do you want to do?"
Coco raised a hand and rubbed the back of her neck as she smiled sheepishly towards the tough looking man, "I have some questions.. Can you answer them?"
".. What kind of questions?" Renaldo’s face twisted into a confused one with a mixture of skepticism.
"Not hard ones." Coco blinked and leaned back on the chair, "First of all, how many villages does this part of the forest have? I already know about Yolo Village.. Is there another one?"
Renaldo stared at her with a ’are you serious?’ look while raising an eyebrow, but then, a look of surprise crossed his face when he realized that Coco was indeed serious and sincere about her question.
