Chapter 223 – Ep.15 – Flowering
From that day on, Eva grew flowers again. She created a small garden in one corner of the yard, covered it with soft soil, and moved the flowers in one by one.
The first flower I planted was an unknown flower that Delrin gave me as a gift. The names of the flowers that only bloom on the Demon Continent were unknown, but Eva didn’t care about that and kept planting flowers.
The flower bed, which initially had only one flower, has now grown into quite a number of flowers. The flower bed itself, with its combination of red, blue, and light purple, created a soft atmosphere.
“Oh wow!”
“Is this Moe?”
Karin and Karen,
I squatted down in front of the flower bed once a day and asked Eva a question.
There are so many questions,
No matter how much I told him how curious he was, he kept asking questions,
“That’s a ladybug. It’s not a flower so just put it down. “I didn’t know that ladybugs also lived on the Demon Continent.”
As for Eva, she rarely got angry and answered all questions with a gentle smile.
Strangely enough, Eva never lost her smile as she sat in front of the garden.
As she was looking at the flowers, she didn’t even feel like getting angry or making a fuss.
Just like it used to be,
I just hummed her song in anticipation of what kind of flowers I would plant tomorrow.
“Mom, are flowers useful?”
“I’ve tried eating them sometimes when I’m hungry, but these flowers usually don’t taste good!”
“Ladybugs don’t taste good either… “
Sometimes, she got really bothered by watching her daughters, even Kaede,
Nevertheless, Eva’s small garden was always a quiet and comfortable place.
“It’s a pretty flower.”
In a way, it was only natural that Neva came and sat next to Eva. Neva rarely smiled, but in front of her younger brother and Delin, she would smile quite honestly and naturally.
“Are there many good flowers on the Demon Continent?”
“Huh. Even though it’s my first time seeing these flowers, I like them all!”
Neva spent time sitting quietly watching her sister water her flowers, not caring at all even though her white hands were covered in dirt.
She loved her younger brother so much that even when it was time to go, she could hardly get up from her seat. The love between sisters was a bit heavy and overwhelming, but they both spent the time smiling.
“Eva.”
“Huh?”
“I will bring her sister some flowers on the way back. I don’t know if you like it… “
“I’m good! “Please.”
Still, a little.
I think it felt a little sad.
Neva’s younger brother’s smile was filled with emotions that were very different from before.
Instead of her pure and bright smile, Eva’s smile was full of longing.
Longing, reminiscing about old memories,
A gesture toward things that will never return.
There was a somewhat familiar shape in Eva’s hand gestures as she gently caressed the flowers.
Just like her parents did, Eva stroked the flowers.
“… “You’re really all grown up now.”
Only after Neva had finished saying that did she leave her position. Reflecting on the flow and changes of time, very slowly.
“These days, I’m always in the garden.”
“Ah, Professor… “
“You don’t have to call me professor. No. Well, call me whatever you want… “
When you spend time slowly, many things pass by. Maybe we just sit still until they pass by.
Either way, it was natural that Chichi, who cared for her student as much as her own sister, would pay attention to the small flower bed. Chichi couldn’t just pass by Eva.
When she couldn’t see Eva, who had always followed her around, she seemed to be feeling a bit anxious or upset. Without her even realizing it.
“Well, it’s just that I don’t mean to say anything… “
Even after squatting down next to Eva, ChiChi hesitated for a moment. Her fingers kept making meaningless movements, losing meaning and purpose, showing the impatience of their owner.
“It’s nice to have a hobby, but you can’t completely forget about her magic training, right? You know… ?”
“I know, Professor. “Don’t worry too much.”
Eva’s hands, on the other hand, were so calm. Because of the dirt and faint pollen that she couldn’t shake off, she looked like a child who had just finished playing, but her small, fragile hands were more peaceful than ever.
“I just think I’m excited because it’s been a while since I did it. “After the flowers get used to this small yard, I will study magic again.”
“Is that so? No, I don’t really care, but I did it just in case. “Keuhum!”
The disciple himself didn’t seem to know that his relationship with his one and only disciple was more important than going out on the streets and selling smiles,
“… Because I travel alone, it feels lonely.”
Nevertheless, Chi-Chi left quickly, showing that she cared for him in her own way. He still seems embarrassed to show his feelings.
In the end, the little commotion Eva created died down quietly and meaninglessly. Although nothing in particular was resolved, Eva’s mind became much calmer and more stable than before. It seemed like her old hobbies had quite an influence on her.
Now Eva doesn’t make any effort to be with anyone. She didn’t cling to Nevana Chi-Chi, and she didn’t appeal her usefulness too much, asking him to take her with her.
Instead, now the flowers in the flower bed wanted Eva.
The colorful plants, which could neither speak nor move, always exhaled their scent excitedly whenever Eva came near them.
Maybe it was just her mood, but when Eva was in the flower bed, she was able to spend a peaceful time immersed in longing.
Her flowers welcomed her. The flowers, whose names I didn’t even know, grew little by little under Eva’s touch…
———————————————
Autumn was coming to the Demon Continent. It may be a bit of sad news for the flowers blooming at the end of summer, but the moderately cool weather and warm sunlight gave strength to the hearts of all new life.
Delrin and her wives stayed among them,
Also, Eva stayed inside.
Eva wandered around her as if she was always wandering around, then headed to her garden to enjoy her own hobbies. That was her new routine.
But no one was worried or concerned about her. Even her older sister, who was always worried, no longer tried to help or fix Eva’s life.
Eva looked happy. It seemed like she had finally found her own happiness there.
However, as with all people, she believes that Eva’s emotional growth did not improve simply because of the flower garden.
“Is it fun?”
“Yes? Ah, Mr. Philmark… “
The grumpy thief, standing with his back to the sunlight, approached the girl and spoke to her. The sight of a girl covered in dirt sitting in front of her flower bed was, in a way, a curious sight.
“What is so good about this that you sit around all day?”
The thief, whose stomach was slightly protruding, also squatted down next to the girl and looked at the flowers. The rich scent of flowers at the end of summer was emanating from a flower bed that had been decorated with great care.
“… It smells good.”
“Right?”
That was a generous evaluation in its own way. The fact that positive words came from the one-eyed thief also meant that she had an excellence that could never be opposed.
Or maybe she just wanted to show her gentle side to the man who was walking towards them.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you two together?”
“It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face. Since you hang out with so many other bitches, you should have someone to see.”
“… “I think it’s my sister’s talent that makes me want to come back as soon as I come.”
As Delrin sat side by side, the front area of the narrow flower bed became completely crowded.
Eva sat on the far left, Delrin sat on the far right, and Rico sat in the middle between them.
“But what is it that makes you fiddle with it as soon as you see it? “Without any atmosphere?”
“I just hugged it. “If you tick one more time, I’ll leave it to you tonight.”
“… No, it’s like saying something tickled… “
“Just wait and see.”
“… “
The thief and the man, who had already formed a deep and close relationship, held Eva’s hand, not even caring that Eva’s eyes were focused on them as she was tending to her flowers.
The woman’s strong arms were wrapped around Delrin’s neck, and she did not even think about letting him go. As if to show off, Rico overlapped her mouth with his and made her erotic voice.
“Ugh, if you’re going to do something so vulgar, do it inside the house! Don’t do it in front of me! Anyway, everyone is crazy about dirty things. It’s completely crazy.”
Frowning face, eyes open as if closed.
Only after seeing Eva’s reaction, glaring at the two with full of contempt, did Rico finish kissing her deeply and take her mouth away.
“Is it too early to show it to a little boy who hasn’t even grown his fur yet? Why don’t you take a good look at it and use it as a reminder?”
“Ugh, I told you not to use words like that! “Are you going to do that in front of our kids later too?”
“… I told you to stop talking about the kids, but it starts again. Hey, I keep trying to teach my kid how to do algebra. “Are you really cocky these days?”
Whenever we meet, we argue,
And yet, seeing the two bodies overlapping in the most erotic way, Eva stuck out her tongue
Tsk tsk-
I kicked and looked away.
“I thought I was coming too much. “You have to hit it a few times to keep it from climbing.”
“Either hit me, or hit me again like before! “He’s the one who made me feel bad first and then takes his anger out on me!”
But what was really important wasn’t the conversation between the two.
More than meaningless everyday fights,
Rico’s shrunken pupils,
The back of Eva’s head where the gaze is directed,
I had to focus on strangely natural hand movements.
“… “Don’t stay outside for too long, just talk for a while and then come back in.”
“That’s it. “Don’t worry, right?”
Rico looked at Eva quietly without even trying to get angry at Delrin, and eventually she slowly walked towards her house.
“… “You went, right?”
However, at least one thing is certain,
“Huh? Uh. Gone Suddenly I got irritated… Why is it like that?”
“Did you really go?”
Rico’s senses haven’t died yet and are quite sharp.
“Huh. “I really went.”
Eva, with her face bright red,
I really slowly closed the distance between me and Delrin,
She gently laid her head on his gentle shoulder.
Slowly.
“… “
“… ?”
In the silence that only felt long due to my racing heart.
Muttering very quietly.
“You can’t do it with me either… ?”
“Huh?”
Due to her embarrassment, she could neither hide her red face nor show it proudly,
I try to send my gaze that has nowhere else to go to the flowers.
“I want you to do it with me too…” !”
It’s unpleasant, it’s vulgar,
He spoke with great difficulty to Delrin, who was crying out that it was extremely unclean.
“You annoying brother… “
