150-Episode 131 Two Tooth Shapes

The day after I got the honey from Becco's house, I came to the flower guild store early in the morning.

'Milly.

'Ah, ...... ladybug. Welcome.'

Millie bowed her head like a small animal.

It seems the store is closed today.

'It's closed, isn't it?

'Yes. The lord of ...... told me to have a good night.

But he doesn't look like he's resting. He also said 'welcome', the store is open, and he's wearing an apron to take care of the flowers.

'Oh, ......, this is ......, flowers need to be taken care of every day, otherwise they lose their energy, right?

I'm going to tell the lord.

I'm not going to tell the lord, and even if I did, it would just be a matter of 'that's just like Millie'.

Maybe you're feeling a little bad about it?

If so, it might be a good thing.

Forget about work today and go to ......

'Millie. This'.

'Yeah .................. wow!

She held out the bouquet of flowers she'd been hiding behind her back.

These are the flowers I got from Becko's place. I don't even know what kind of flowers they are.

'Lavender, raspberry, safflower, rosemary... ......'

I point to the pink and purple flowers and say the name of each one.

'Is there a place where these ...... bloom together?'

'Oh. It's an apiary on top of a hill.'

'Wow. ............ I didn't know that. ......'

I put my nose close to the flower and breathed in.

'I've heard good things.

It was the first time I had seen such a soft smile, and I could clearly see that she was honestly happy.

'Is it okay if I take it?

Millie tilted her head and asked me. But I couldn't help but smile when I saw the words 'I want it' written clearly in her eyes.

'Yeah, what?Miri, did you say something weird?

'No, thanks. I'll give it to you, ....... I picked it up for you.'

'Hmm!Thank you, ladybug.'

Really, Millie smiles like a flower blooming.

It's rare for a girl to be so loved by a flower.

'Millie. Can you take me to the forest now?

'Hmm. No problem. Do you have any flowers you need?

'Yeah, well, there's ...... that, too. ......'

I should have said that when I gave her the bouquet,......, but what could I say?

I touched her soft hair to disguise the strange tension that was knocking at my chest from the inside.

'Mew!

Miri's shoulders shake, as if she was surprised by the sudden touch.

Her large eyes look up at me with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

I run my fingers through the large ladybug hair clip in my hair and talk to the big eyes staring at me.

'Do you want to go on a date?

'.............................. 'I do, .......'

He nodded his head, and then his eyes widened. and his eyes widen.

'Wait a minute,............, I'll be ready in a minute.'

He stomped his foot on the spot, did a double-twist for no reason, and while trying to get into the house, he looked right and left at me as if he was trying to appeal to me.

'You can keep it. You're cute enough.'

'Oh, ............ ugh!

When I praise her, her ears turn bright red and her big eyes start to flicker.

Then she shakes her head and denies it.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time with your family.

I'm not sure what to say.

...... I guess you can't compromise on those things.

'Okay. I'll be waiting for you. Go ahead and do it.

'Oh, no!

He ran quickly into the store, turned around inside the store, and came back to the door again.

She hugs the bouquet tightly and smiles at you through the flowers.

'Thank you for the flowers. They made me very happy. ......'

Probably because I leave them in my room. I felt that she wanted to thank me with the flowers.

'Wait for me.

He shrugged his shoulders, laughed, and walked quickly into the store.

I'm glad you're happy.

Surprise is very effective, after all.

...... But.

'Waiting for a girl to change her clothes in front of her house is ...... kind of embarrassing.

When I was in junior high school, I saw a classmate standing still in front of a girl's house, and I thought, 'What's that guy doing?Is he an underwear thief? I thought, 'What's he doing?' ............ Well, he was on a date after that. ......... I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. ......

I think I'm going to die of embarrassment.

I don't know what I'm doing,......, but I'm old.

'Oh, ......, ............, ......... ...Oh, wait, let me ......'.

After about twenty minutes, Millie quietly came out of the store door.

'I don't have ...... time to do this, but I really could do it better .........' ...'

I didn't want to make you wait, so I rushed.

I can really dress up better than that.

That seems to be the complaint.

But I can't help it.

'Isn't it cute?

'...... Really?

'Yeah. Let me have a look.

'Oh, ............ mmm!

Millie popped out of the door, her usual apron removed, wearing a light blue dress that gave off a fresh and innocent image.

On her head was the usual large ladybug, and on the other side of the head was a small bun.

Her hair was just below her shoulders, and she was wearing it in a small bun, as if she had done her best.

The silhouette of the ladybug was as if a large ladybug and a small ladybug were sitting on top of Millie's head, facing each other.

'Dumplings are cute.

'Wow, ............ yes!

Unusually, I could hear the beginning of the word 'yes' clearly. He must have been confident in his dumplings.

I'm also very happy when someone compliments me on my specialty. I know that feeling.

'......'s, but ......'.

'It's not ...... your breasts, is it?

'Yeah. I know, and I know who put that kind of unnecessary wisdom into Millie's head.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had it.

I'm sorry for the short notice. I should have at least asked you out yesterday.'

'Oh ...... no, no ......'.

Millie opens her hands and squirms.

'No?

'If you do that, ...... Miri, I'm sure you couldn't sleep last night. ............ This is fine. Thank you.

Oof. ......

I'm sure you'll be able to't sleep because you're looking forward to the date, it's too cute ......

I don't know. ...... Millie is a really nice girl.

'Well, let's go.

'Oh, ......, I'll get my pochette, okay?

Once again, Millie walked back into the store.

It's hard for a girl to leave.

'Sorry to keep you waiting ......, okay?

'No, ...... sorry is fine, but ............ isn't it too big?'

She put a pochette on her shoulder that was big enough to hold a whole person.

She was wearing it diagonally across her shoulders, but the bag was so big that the shoulder straps were floating far above her body.

In other words, it was a "non-paisura.

If you can find a shoulder strap that is smaller and attaches to your body like this, it would be better. I'm not sure if there is a pochette with a shoulder strap that can be attached to the body.

'...... are you talking about something fetching?

'No, no, no, no, no, no!No way, no way, no way!I'm not going to say that to Millie!I'm not going to say it to you, but I'm going to say it to Estella or Norma.

Those two are very easy to talk to.

And their reactions are interesting.

'No, it's ......, right?

'Oh, that's right!You can't do that!I'm not going to repent, but I'll take it as an opinion.'

'Oh, so you don't want to?

'Come on, let's go!If it's that big, it's going to hold a lot of stuff!

I don't know if I can call this big bag as big as a Boston bag a pochette, but if Millie calls it a pochette, then it is definitely a pochette, and nothing but a pochette.

If Millie says it, she's right!

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

...... I'm going to have to walk a little slower. It's hard for her to keep up with me.

It is very cute that she walks a little bouncy, but her bag is too big,......, and it bothers me a lot.

'It looks heavy, do you want me to carry it?

'Thank you ......, but I'm fine. It's probably too ...... heavy for Ladybug to carry.

'............ already?

'Miri, I'm a strong woman.'

'I see. ...... Hahahaha ............ In this world, this is fine ......, right? What?

I thought it was empty, but it looks like it's already in there.

You can find a lot of things that are essential to be a professional when going to the forest, even if it is a date.

For example, this ............ kind of high branch scissors?I'd be surprised if there were any ...... in there.

You can get a lot of apples this season, you know.

'Apples?

How timely!

Yes, yes. I'll have to tell Milly you want apples.

'Just in time. I was just thinking I'd like to get some apples for our date. Can you give me some?'

'I'll give you some, but you'll have to pay.

That forest is under the jurisdiction of the flower guild.

'............ while you're at it?

Millie's brows furrowed slightly. It's not a wrinkle, but it's a subtle change that shows a hint of anxiety.

'...... apples, and by the way, ...... dating......?'

'No, no, no!No, no, no, no! An apple with a date!If you want, you don't even need an apple!

No, no, no.

I can't bear to be saddened by such a misunderstanding.

An apple is certainly necessary, but it doesn't have to be today.

If it comes down to it, ask Assunto. ......

'I see,......, that's good.'

For a moment I was nervous, but Millie seemed to be in a better mood.

Hmm, that's a tough one. It's hard to know where the mines are lurking. I'll be careful.

'You want me to carry it?My bag.

'No, I can't. ...... giggle'

......I can't ............

'Oh, ............'

He bent his right arm and made a gesture as if Milly were grasping at the air.

'...... You got a bug on you?

'What's wrong?'

'Uh, yeah. It's ...... nothing,...... isn't it?'

'Hmm. I see.'

If Millie says so, it must be nothing.

We walked for the next ten minutes, chatting, until we reached the forest.

I'd like to go in there as soon as possible,...... but there's a hexenbiest in there, and it's crawling with those stupid insectivorous plants,...... and I can't even get into the forest unless I follow Millie's instructions. I can't.

I'm not going to be able to get into this forest if I don't follow Millie's instructions.''............'s,......'s.''

...... drunk fist?

............That ...... thing.'

...... Oh, I see. I see.

You're right. I don't know how many times I've been nearly eaten by an insectivorous plant. ......'

He crossed his arms and nodded broadly.

Then he uncrossed his arms and held out his left hand to Millie.

I'm not sure what to make of it.It's dangerous.

'ゎ............, yeah!

She takes my hand and smiles, a little embarrassed.

That's right. It's a date, right? We should at least hold hands.

'Heh heh...... another memory is made......'

She squeezes my hand and walks away happily.

After entering the forest, Millie protected me so well that I was only ...... caught by the insectivorous plant four times. Growth, growth. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, wow!That's awesome!

At the place where Millie brought me, there were many apple trees lined up, and their branches were covered with ripe red apples.

This many apples reminded me of ...... Ginette's Pants Peachland.

'...... Ladybug?

'It's okay!It's safe to think!

'......?Hmmm ...... maybe it's safe ......?'

Okay, you've got my seal of approval.

It's safe until you think about it!

Boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs!

Ohhhh, titty, titty, titty, titty, titty, titty, titty!

'......?Ladybug, right?

'Come on, Millie!Let's get some apples!

'Oh, ......!

No, no, no.

Something's been leaking out of me. Yeah, let's pick some apples seriously.

'Can I tear this off with my hands?

'Oh, ...... wait. I'll get the scissors out now. ......'

Then Millie took out a pair of long-handled pruning shears from her Boston bag-sized pochette.

It looks like a pair of pruning shears!

And let me tell you one more time, that's not a pochette, is it?No, but if Milly says so, it's a pochette!

'Oh, yeah...'

Miri shakes her body, holding something that looks like twig scissors.

'Miri, go and pick some apples,......, right?

'Yeah,......, yeah. Then, please.'

'Hmm!Watch me.'

As soon as she said that, Milly went to the apple tree by herself.

I think it would be faster if we picked them together. ............ Correction. I'm only slowing you down.

Millie is moving around the tree in a leisurely, yet 'holistic' way, dancing around the tree, but ...... the sound of the branches cutting is strange.

Then the apples rained down on the ground -- bodododododododododod! --and make a sound that would hurt if it hit you directly.

Millie gracefully dodged the rain of apples and continued to cut them off from the branches as if they were dancing.

As the apples rain down on the ground, Millie glances at you.

Oh, you want me to watch you, don't you?

I give her a little applause.

'Haha ......!

Millie's face lights up. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

...... That's extreme, Millie. It's not environmental destruction, is it?

In a matter of minutes, the ground was covered with cut-off apples.

You should have been careful not to let them fall and damage them, and when you picked up the apples, you found ...... not a single scratch on them. ...... What?Why?

'Oh, ......, please be gentle with the apple, okay?It's a fragile fruit.

No, no, no!

What?Then what?So Millie's apple dance earlier was treating the apples with care?

But the fact is that the apples are unharmed. ...... There was a great falling sound, but ............ the ground was not soft and fluffy, and there were stones and branches falling all over the place. I'm sure the apple would have been scratched if it had fallen normally. ........................ millie What the hell did you do?

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... I can't help but be stunned when I see what I can only assume is a professional's skill being demonstrated in a place I have no control over.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't ...... understand. What the hell was going on?

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. You know?

When I asked him why the apple hadn't been damaged by the fall, he replied.

I wonder if there is some complicated theory behind it.

'What is the principle of cutting? I don't know!If you use scissors, you can cut it! It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

If you want to master this ...... technique, you should go to ...... Miri's house and live there... If you want to master this technique, you can live in ...... Miri's house and practice it for about three years.

What are you going to do?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this in the future.

I probably won't be harvesting this many apples in the future, dancing around.

'No. If I want apples, I'll just ask Millie.'

'............ Yeah.'

I'll ask Millie if I want apples. ...... I'll ask Millie if I want apples. ...... I'll ask Millie if I want apples. ...... I'll ask Millie if I want apples. I'm not sure what to do. ...... But a pochette is a ......

I'm not sure what to say.

'Hmm. Small stuff.

And a glimpse of a pair of pruning shears.

Yeah, there's a lot of scissors bigger than that in the Flower Arrangement Guild. ...... It's already a weapon.

'Ladybug, do you want a lot of apples?

'Hmm?'

Millie, who had been gathering apples, looked up at me with both hands holding a large apple.

I guess so. ......

'I think I'll take a lot. Millie did a great job picking them for me.'

'Mmmm!'

She smiles like an angel and holds out a large apple to me.

When I took it, I realized that the apple wasn't big, but her hand was small. Well, the apple is pretty big, too.

I put my nose close to the apple and breathed in, letting the fresh scent fill my lungs. Wow, that looks good. ...... Good.

I wiped the surface of the apple with my clothes and bit into it.

'Yum!

Sweet!It's so sweet!

There's so much honey!

I was expecting a more sour apple, but ......

'Fresh and sweet. I thought it would be crispy and thirsty, but it's so juicy and it moistens my mouth. ...... Is this really an apple?

Hehehe. I'm proud to be a member of the Flower Arrangement Guild, and I've been taking good care of the apples in this forest.

It's a little bit like a child who's been praised, says Millie with some excitement. She's really proud of it.

It's a good idea to wash them before you eat them,.......It's been outside for a long time and it's been exposed to rain and stuff. ......'

'No, no, you wiped it properly.

'Oh, ...... even if you wipe it .......'

'It's good enough. That's how we used to eat it back home.'

'Is that ...... it?

But in Japan, I think it was more for wiping off the wax from the surface when you bit into it.

You don't need wax to make it shiny.

As I was staring at the apple, Millie was also staring at it. The apple I'm holding. ...... Her mouth is slightly open. ............Wow, I want to stick my finger in it. ...... No, I don't, but...

'You want some?

'Yeah, ......, but ............ is it bad, ......?

'When you eat out, it's okay to be a little wild.'

'Oh, ......?

'Yes.

When I assured her, Milly's face flushed and she gently reached out her hands to me.

I thought, 'Are you sure you want to eat my bite? She didn't seem to mind, either.

When you give her the apple, she holds it in both hands, stares at it, and ...... wipes the skin off with her clothes.

And then, fearfully, he bit into it with his little mouth.

It's .......

She made a reserved sound as she bit into the apple. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

'...... ah-maaaaay'.

Millie smiles happily.

She looks up at me with a somewhat embarrassed look and smiles a little differently than usual.

'...... It's kind of ............ like I'm doing something bad, ...... a little, I'm a little nervous.

Maybe he thinks that biting into a whole apple is bad manners.

Well, even in Japan, people don't think it's very well-behaved. I don't think it's bad either.

She seemed to feel a little elated at the act, which she had never done before.

...... Makes me want to dye it my color, somehow.

'So what do you want to do after this?

'Oh, ...... ah's ............'.

Millie shakes her shoulders as she holds an apple with two teeth marks on it.

She seems to be trying to say something difficult to say.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

'Miri......, when we went on a date, ............, I wanted to eat some cake......,' I thought. I was thinking .......'

You're begging.

All right!

I'll give you something good to eat and you can follow me for a bit.

Oh, yeah.

Let's invite Milly for cake in a more wholesome mood.

'Then let's go to the place that serves the best cake in town.

'Hmm!I want to go to the Sunken Pavilion.

Holding hands with a happy Millie, we left the forest.

You can find a lot of apples in the bag that Millie has on her shoulder.

I'm sure you'll agree.

...... Beastmen are really foul, aren't they? ............ Millie is an insect.

In this way, we got a lot of apples and a lot of honey, and after a lot of trial and error involving Ginette, Regina, and various other people, we completed ...... a delicious curry.

I'm not going to go into the process.

............ was a hellish scene.

'Hot! Now it's sweet! No! Smelly? And so on. ...... Haha, it was hard work. ......
