Rocky shook his head several tis to shake off his greedy thoughts, then took another look at the plant.
Rocky lingered for a while before asking politely.
"Uhm... lady, how can I help you?"
(Damn it! What the hell did I just spit out?)
To him, it was a stupid question, as if he was trying to please a lady right after their first eting. Would that sentence even work?
The holy plant tilted her head slightly, as if confused by that question. Because she thought Rocky would’ve scread in rage or sothing else after all she did. Instead, Rocky treated her like a gentle man.
It was quite strange, but it was also interesting.
She wanted to find out. So she asked. Her voice was soft and elegant.
"Human... you don’t hate ?"
...
Rocky hesitated for a mont and said.
"Absolutely not! What reason would I have to hate a beautiful girl like you? I loved you at first sight."
"I can do anything for you, even give you all my beasts."
Nearby, Bobby was dazed for a mont upon hearing such things from his own master, yet catching Rocky’s sly eyes, he swiftly knelt to the ground like Matt. His eyes showed absolute loyalty to the being ahead.
She narrowed her eyes for a mont and glanced into the distance.
"I don’t understand, human... love at first sight? What kind of love is that? It sounds like you want to pollinate with ."
Rocky’s face froze for a few seconds, yet he swiftly regained his calmness. He didn’t expect a plant would have such reactions. It seed he could complete his intention easily.
He answered like a gentleman. But he still kept his caution because he didn’t want to anger her.
"Lady, that’s not what I ant."
The plant tilted her head and asked,
"So, tell what love is?"
Rocky scratched the back of his head for a mont. Because he himself didn’t even know it that well.
But he tried to explain it by the feeling he had when he faced Scarlet before.
"Well, it’s hard to say, because it’s an abstract concept... In my opinion, love is a resonance between two beings. The feeling that I want to be close to you and understand you, even die for you. I guess."
She rubbed her chin and nodded.
(It’s kinda like when I use my control-mind skill on soone, but it’s a bit different... I want to understand it.)
She asked,
"Why do you love ? And... what happens if two beings have the sa feeling of love?"
Rocky lingered for a while and said,
"I don’t know... maybe because you’re beautiful, or maybe not. And the result of two beings in love... if they continue the relationship, they will marry."
She frowned.
"I see... It’s nothing more than pollination."
...
Suddenly, Rocky sank to his knees. He frowned, one hand clutching his head. He uttered,
’’W-What happened?’’
The plant smirked and said,
’’I didn’t expect you to resist my skill for this long. But I’m not surprised, considering you possess the two unique beasts I desire.’’
Rocky’s face twisted in the darkness as he said,
’’But... I love you.’’
She blinked for a mont and said,
’’A strange human... you’re the first person to ever tell that. However, I don’t believe anyone. I have a big flaw, so I always control everything. It gives a sense of safety.’’
She smiled brightly.
’’But don’t worry... I won’t kill you after all. If you die, my beasts will return to the beast world. Therefore, you will live with , and I’ll fulfill your wish. I allow you to pollinate with .’’
’’I’m so curious about what will be born if two races combine.’’
Then she glanced at Bobby.
’’Co here, my beast... You’ll take the reward that I haven’t given you yet.’’
Bobby slowly stood up and headed over the beautiful girl.
The girl bood a seductive smile as giving her palm up ahead. Soon, a small, red bud materialized in her palm.
Bobby blinked a few tis while gazing at it. Struggling to suppress his greed, he slowly stretched his hand and took it.
Without hesitation, he tossed it into his mouth and chewed deliciously.

The girl smirked as she could feel the difference in Bobby. At this mont, she had two strong beasts on her side.
In contentnt, she ordered Bobby to stand aside while turning her attention to Rocky.
’’Co with . I’m going to fulfill your wish.’’
Rocky nodded and slowly followed behind her. They ca to a special place, where many beautiful flowers with a floral scent floated everywhere.
Rocky blinked for the mont and his attention toward a bed made of flowers over there. The girl sat on it while patting slightly beside, commanding him to sit here.
Rocky felt a bit embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head. But he still headed over there.
He sat down, fighting the blush creeping onto his face, even as his manly instinct urged him to lunge at her.
(It’s too close... I can see everything.)
After a mont, she slowly moved closer and hugged him. She hesitated for a mont and asked,
’’What do we do now?’’
Rocky tilted his head in confusion.
’’I don’t understand, lady.’’
The girl said awkwardly,
’’I just received this human body not long ago, so I don’t know how humans pollinate.’’
Rocky nodded in understanding.
’’I see... Let guide you, my lady.’’
In the blink of an eye, Rocky locked her hands tightly while pushing her down onto the bed, causing the girl to panic for a mont.
She gritted her teeth, glaring at Rocky, who gazed at her slyly.
’’What are you doing?.. Let go.’’
