Clack.
The diator’s head shot up at the sound of the door swinging open, his attention imdiately drawn to the noise.
His body tensed, his muscles coiling almost instinctively as he waited to see if his supposedly wife made it out of the house safe and sound.
However, the sight before him made his eyebrows furrowed.
"Now, I’ll co back here to tell you how it went or you can just find at room one in Red Horse Inn every hour after dinner." Coco said, smiling widely towards the bashful looking tattooed man.
"You really don’t have to.." Jonathan murmured, rubbing that back of his sheepishly.
"It’s alright. I want to anyway." Coco waved off his shyness and patted his back, laughing wholeheartedly to herself, "Youths should experience love, you know? So, I’m sure you deserve to experience love, too!"
The man only got red in the neck as his eyebrows furrowed, turning his head away as if he was being teased by a close friend.
"Anyways! We will be on our way! It was nice to get to know you, my friend!" Coco said to Jonathan, waving a hand towards his way as Heiren grabbed her wrist and drag her out of there.
Coco didn’t notice that she was being dragged out the area due to how happy she was on making a friend who have not experienced love just yet.
The man was full of tattoos and very bulky, his rough exterior seemingly protecting himself even though he has a heart of a maiden, wanting to fall in love before he gets older further and ultimately ruin his chance to et soone loving.
But it’s okay! There are people whose preference is a an looking guy with tattoos all over his body! Coco mused in her thoughts, an excited smile on her face.
Ding!
Coco’s head snapped up when she heard the familiar chi of the scroll’s arrival, then it appeared before her eyes.
[ Side Quest {1} done! Receiving rewards....]
[ Preparing the Beginner’s Gloves, please wait a mont...]
Coco blinked, not expecting for her to finish the quest so soon, and she didn’t even feel like she did a quest because at the end of it, she made a friend.
Oh, well.. All is well, I guess? Coco thought, her attention shifting from the scroll to the path ahead of her.
As they made their way through the rundown area, Coco pulled her wrist out of Heiren’s hold and held her hand out when sothing started glowing in front of her.
That little action of hers made the second husband frown and look back at her, a confused and upset expression on his face, but when he saw sothing strange happening, he couldn’t help, but stare.
Much to Coco’s surprise, the gloves appeared in the air, slowly materializing and forming before her eyes then it plopped down in her hand.
"Woah.. Would you look at that?" Coco humd out, raising an eyebrow as she inspected the gloves.
It’s just an ordinary pair of gloves that seems to be worn out.
It’s the type of gloves that has no fingers and was used in street fighting to look cool or sothing.
"What am I going to do with this?" Coco grumbled under her breath, shoving it inside of her pocket and shaking her head, disappointed that she didn’t get a farming glove.
She obviously won’t be looking for a fight any ti soon so getting a pair of gloves that makes soone look cool while fighting is useless— she’s a pacifist and would avoid fighting as much as possible!
Unless she was forced to face a monster, but! She has her trustworthy unbreakable hoe with her so she really doesn’t have to use her own fist, right?
Due to her pondering about the scenario where she has to use the gloves, she failed to notice the astonished looks Heiren was throwing her way, his gaze was scrutinizing, but there was curiosity mixed in it.
He knows that he shouldn’t be surprised at this point because Coco has a fairy flying around her and has been doing surprising things lately.
However, as much as he tried not to, seeing that those lair of gloves appeared in the air made him shocked.
Just how is that possible?
Is there a new invention that hides things and makes them appear anywhere the user wants?
Not only that, Coco sohow managed to get the wooden box from the scary man without having to fight him which was also a shocker considering that man was known for always raising his fists first before anything else.
All brawn, no brain.. Was the saying, right?
Whatever the saying was, the man was like that and has always been like that so seeing that Coco went out without raising her fists against the man took him by surprise.
Just what is happening? Why is everybody around them acting strange?
First, it was his wife. Second, the married couple by the butcher shop. Third, the rchant and Red Horse Inn owner.
Last, but not least, that scary man.
It was weird, especially everything is slowly changing from the things they were once used to—
"So.. You’re going to tell what’s inside this box or not?" Coco’s voice had cut Heiren’s train of thoughts, making him blink and snap back to reality.
"Ah.. I don’t think you would want to know." Heiren answered, looking away as he avoided the question.
"I’m pretty sure I won’t ask if I don’t want to know." Coco humd out, her voice laced with playfulness as she tapped the sides of the box.
She already knows what’s inside the box, but asking wouldn’t hurt anyone, right?
"I don’t want to say what it is.." Heiren mumbled, fidgeting nervously on his sleeves— which Coco noticed just now, but it was the clothes that she bought for them the other day.
"Okay."
"What..?" Heiren blinked.
"Co and I’ll have you cook sothing for as a compensation for this."
