"Captain."

Squatting on the ground, the red pupil hugged his knees and poked the cheek of the eye-filled Estes.

"Ellie."

Squatting on the ground, the black pupil hugged his knees and poked Ellie's cheek, whose eyes were full of Xiang.

"Get up, and if you don't get up, you'll be gone."

Now both of them are wearing skirts, lying on the street like this, although there is no problem with close proximity, but after a long time, there is no guarantee.

"Hey, it's time to get up~"

Red Hitomi pulled out a packet of beef jerky and shook it in front of Estes.

"Don't get up and have no meat to eat."

This trick only works for Red Hitomi.

"I'm up, I don't get up anymore and I don't have snacks to eat."

The tricks of the black pupil are similar, and there is basically no way to deal with normal people

"Hey! What are you two doing?! ”

Finally, an indistinguishable Hedong lion's roar came from behind, and it seemed that the normal guy from Black Lily had finally arrived.

"I'm waking people up." *2

The two dumbfounded sisters said with serious faces

"Wake someone up? Is there such a thing as waking people up? ”

Carrying two large vats of ice and black lilies, he walked up to the two street shoppers.

"Sue sΓΉ you inexperienced novices, dealing with two guys, that's all!"

"Hula β€”β€”!"

Two buckets of cold water with ice poured down with a bang, and the thrill of ice cubes and cold water was unbearable for anyone.

Sure enough, a bucket of water went down, and both faint vegetables woke up.

"Strange ceiling ......"

As soon as Estes opened his eyes, he came up with such a classic line of the awakened person

"What's the ceiling where?! Do you want to have a kanban board?! ”

Seeing Estes looking like a bear, Black Lily shouted angrily

"Where am I?"

The wet lady asked in a daze

"In Amestolis, the southern region, the valley of Rasius, the entrance to the city!"

As soon as I fainted, it looked like this, please, can you save some snacks?!

"I'm sorry, I seem to have fainted while visiting my past subordinates......"

After getting up, Estes immediately activated alchemy to vaporize the water vapor from his body.

Then he looked at Ellie on the side

"I remember that at the end someone seemed to bring something terrible......"

"Well, it's this"

Then the red pupil took out the watermelons again.

"It's these watermelons."

"Poof."

This time, Estes held back and didn't immediately pounce on the street, but his expression seemed to be very painful.

"Watermelon?"

Seeing those watermelons that were very plump, Black Lily didn't understand why Red Pupil, who had always been carnivorous, would bring watermelons.

"Because watermelons are a specialty of the Lasiu Valley region. The black lily came from Draguma and doesn't seem to know much about the local products of Amistolis. Let me explain. ”

The eldest lady is worthy of being the eldest lady, and immediately regained her demeanor after launching alchemy to dry her clothes. (Each pair of shoes of the eldest lady is specially customized and made by the alchemy workshop, and the soles have alchemy arrays...... οΌ‰

"Speaking of watermelon, the sandy land needed for this crop still has a large diurnal difference, and the Laxiu Valley area happens to be sandy land, which is hot during the day and cold at night, which is very suitable for habitual growth. At the same time, due to the influence of the topography, there is sufficient precipitation throughout the year, so the Laxiu Valley area has become the same famous watermelon and cantaloupe production area as the Ishbal area~ The jade watermelon with thin skin and red skin, luscious and juicy and few seeds is the most famous local product here~"

The so-called eldest lady is to learn all kinds of things that can show that she is learned, wise and educated on all occasions.

God knows why one day someone suddenly asks something that you can't beat.

And for this rare life of studying hard for several years, it is probably the so-called genius education.

And this is probably the case for the eldest lady now.

"Ahh......h

But it is obvious that Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be able to do this to control Ellie's own knowledge, and she will now have to fight against her own stomach, which is about to turn upside down.

"Captain?"

Just as Elle was talking vigorously, Black Lily noticed that Estes, who had just gotten up, was about to hit the street again.

"Are you alright?"

Gently squatted down and gave Estes a smooth back to let her breathe, and then took out the anti-sickness medicine she had with him and handed it to Estes.

"You should get better with some medicine."

Those medicines were prepared by Black Lily for Estes, and they were used for the first time in so many years.

"Thank you."

As if he had caught a treasure, he ate several of them in one go, and Estes felt that he was slowly becoming more comfortable.

"Ellie, you stop too, the captain seems to be right with the watermelon"

"Ahh......h Don't mention that thing! ”

"Seems to be very allergic to the thing you said."

Looking at Ellie, who was still nagging like Tang Seng chanting a mantra, Black Lily persuaded

"If this continues, our captain will be going to hit the street again."

"Okay, I know, it's hard to use this knowledge."

Xueba also has very lonely times~ Because there are too many things to learn, many things are useless, and it is not easy to find a chance to say it.

"But why is the captain so afraid of the West...... What about that thing? ”

Just wanted to talk about watermelon, but Elle, who saw Estes's face turn green, immediately changed her words.

"Do you want to plant some watermelons in front of Aisha in the future~hahaha~'

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to use this big killer to tease Estes.

"Well...... this"

After being smoothed by Black Lily, she took medicine and felt a lot better, and she began to recall the troubles in the past.

"Let's start with something a long, long time ago......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” a long, long time ago...... Actually, it was before Estes ran away from homeβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Aisha~ See what I brought you back?"

One day, the president returned home from an inspection tour in the East to see his daughter, three-year-old Estes.

"Ah, father, are you back?"

When he was a child, Estes's attitude towards his father was actually not very good, and he didn't seem to have the tendon that stuck to his parents...... It wasn't until the age of fourteen that it began to break out suddenly......

"Did you go to the East to inspect today?"

Watching his father come back with the cantaloupe that is said to be a famous specialty of the eastern region, Estes guessed

"Yes, Ishubar has just returned from Ishbal and has not been very stable since becoming an autonomous region. How did you know I was coming back from the East? ”

The president remembered that he probably didn't tell his family what he was going to do before he came back, and it was the president's habit not to talk about state secrets and work arrangements at home.

"Because cantaloupe is a specialty of the eastern and southern regions, and my father came back in a white heat-proof suit, which means that you went to a desert area, so only the Ishubar region is eligible."

Don't look at Estes as he is only three years old, but he is already very powerful in some places.

"Very good, brainy, and very well analyzed, worthy of my daughter."

The reason why Estes made a big mistake later on that occasion had a lot to do with being praised by his father.

"Don't talk about that, try the cantaloupe I brought back for you, which I just picked from the melon field yesterday."

The president lived a very simple life, or should I say very efficient, for as long as Estes could remember, his father had never done anything to enrich his own pockets and take bribes.

What the? Why do you say Estes knows?

There were a few people who delivered things this year that weren't delivered to their homes.

What's more, my father really doesn't need that money, I heard my mother say that my father's family is a very famous rich man and chaebol in the northwest, and the family's property and capital are very abundant.

Ordinary bribes are not needed at all, and even the cost of Estes's tutoring class is paid by his father himself from the family property.

"It's delicious~ It's really delicious, Dad~"

Sweet honey cantaloupe, dad cut it with his own hands to remove the seeds, and handed it to Estes.

It is normal for Estes to be happy with the rare treatment since he was a child, eating with his father, and bringing it back from the eastern border from all the way up.

"Is it~ Then Aisha still wants to eat it in the future?"

Seeing that his daughter was so happy to eat dim sum, the president asked

"Of course~Aisha still wants to eat~"

Estes's idea at that time was just to talk to her more when her father came back in the future, and eat a snack to make her feel valued, but the president ......

"Got it, I'll get you more watermelons and cantaloupe in the future."

In the past, Estes's mother, there was a saying that was very classic.

"Aisha, your father really doesn't understand a woman's heart."

Although Estes didn't understand what his mother meant at the time, he soon used his stomach to thoroughly understand and understand the true meaning of this sentence.

"Miss Estes, this is the watermelon and cantaloupe that the President sent to you from the east......"

"Ahhh......h

Eliminate watermelons

"First Miss, this is the watermelon that the president shipped to you from the southern Raxiu region......"

"Ahhh......h

Estes continues to wipe out the watermelons

"Miss, these watermelons are ......"

"Ahh

"These melons are ......"

"Ahh

"This melon ......"

"Melon ......"

"Poofβ€”"

I don't know how many years I persisted, but the physically strong first lady Estes suddenly became hospitalized one day, and the cause seemed to be food poisoning.

This frightened Estes's mother, and even the president, who was in a meeting in the South, hurried back to see her daughter in the hospital.

When I arrived at the hospital, I found that Estes had just eaten too much and survived

Not wasting food is a habit of the Bradley family, and any habit of wasting food is shameful.

Estes is no exception.

So even if you pour it into a slice of watermelon and cantaloupe, you can't waste food, which is where Estes is stubborn or strange.

Obviously, you only need to dig a pit in the back garden and bury some soil to destroy a lot of watermelons......

But do you really think Estes hasn't done it?

In order to eliminate the watermelon that my father brought, who among the guards and servants up and down the presidential palace did not carry watermelons to the house? But even that didn't kill it.

Later, the gardener, who was more familiar with Estes, told Estes that the garden could no longer be sold, because a few days ago, when the gardener was tidying up the garden, he found that patches of watermelon seedlings were springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and it was time for a shovel to go down to the stage of thunder.

I can't help it, so let's eat it.

So he ate too much, so Estes went to the hospital.

"Aisha, how is your health?"

Rarely, the president came back from the south and went directly to see Estes at Sapenn Hospital. It was the first time in his life that Estes went to the hospital, because he was basically not sick and had a family doctor who did not need to go at all.

So......

"Are you feeling better?"

It was the first time Estes was hospitalized, and the first time his father and mother went to the hospital to see Estes.

It's a really good feeling.

"It's so much better ~Father~"

Sometimes, Estes also feels that it is not a good thing that he is in good health, and there are many fewer opportunities for his parents to accompany him.

"Your father rushed back from the Raxiu area because he heard that you were sick~"

found that her husband rarely understood the thoughts of their mother and daughter, and Aisha's mother smiled so brightly.

"Thank you dad for coming to see Aisha~ Aisha loves her dad the most~"

That hospitalization was also one of the few times when Estes was a child who directly said "love dad".

One of the few times.

"I'm relieved to see you so spirited. By the way, this time I came back from the Laxiu Valley and brought you some good things. ”

Click-

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, and the smiles on the faces of Mother and Aisha shattered.

"The newly listed Laxiu jade watermelon, because I know you like to eat it, I brought a real car back."

As he spoke, he cut open the large watermelon placed on the wall and took out a large piece and handed it to Estes.

"It's been a long time since Isha has eaten watermelon, and I see you're almost fine, so you should be hungry again, right?"

The daughter has had a big appetite since she was a child, and everyone in the presidential palace knows it.

The great president naturally knows it

"The skin is thin and red, crispy and sweet, and the watermelons in the Laxiu Valley are very good."

The second time, the father gave Estes to cut watermelon, and the first time, the father came to the hospital to see Estes.

Even if it's a**......

"Thank you Dad~Aisha likes Dad the most~"

And then Estes actually killed a whole watermelon with his parents.

And then......

Aisha...... Are you okay? ”

Seeing her pale daughter fall on the hospital bed in despair, the mother was a little worried

"Mom's ......"

For the first time, Estes felt that she was so weak in front of her father

Aisha...... I want to run away from home. ”

Otherwise, the whole truckload of watermelons brought back by her father in the presidential palace alone would drive her crazy.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"That's it."

Thinking that at that time, I collapsed in despair in the watermelon peels and emerald green hills on the ground, and my mouth was full of watermelons.

Even dreaming is a time for watermelons......

Estes felt sick to his stomach again

"Later, I thought about it and felt that the reasons for my running away from home could be divided into several parts.

First of all, his own willfulness accounted for 40 percent, his mother's nagging accounted for 10 percent, the nagging of teachers such as upbringing, morality, literature and art accounted for 10 percent, Teacher Kinbri and Teacher Gulaman were dropped away accounted for 10 percent, wanted to experience themselves accounted for 10 percent, and Dad's watermelon accounted for about 10 percent. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Counting with his fingers, the black pupils, red pupils, and black lily Ellie felt as if they were missing something.

"That...... Captain, it seems like it's only 90 percent of that. ”

Estes's math level is good, because he doesn't have such a low-level problem, right?

"Really? Probably......"

But looking at Estes's look of throwing up just thinking of watermelon, everyone understands.

"So from then on, I had a dream of eradicating Ishbal and Rasius from the face of the earth. So that there should no more terrible things in this world come out to harm people, right? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Now Black and White and they know one more reason why Estes destroyed Ishbal.

"So...... Captain, you really intend to ...... the Lachau Valley as well."

Weakly, Ellie asked Estes cautiously.

She wasn't worried that the civilians here would be killed by Estes, she was just worried that Estes would destroy her factory.

There are several factories in the city that Elle has invested in.

"That's right! I'm going to do a big job in the Lasiu Valley! ”

Estes spoke out about his ambitions

"I'm going to make this city a city of industrial hardware through and through! Machinery Production Center! Make the city thriving! This will not only solve the problem of the disability of soldiers who were disabled in the war, but also increase the number of labor force in the country, and make the profits of agricultural production relatively reduced! Finally, let people move from the countryside to the city for profit! Let the melon fields be overgrown with wild grass! Let the melon farmers come to the city to work! In this way, the watermelon can disappear completely from here, aha~ ahaha!!! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

At this time, Black Lily and the others realized how much Estes hated watermelon.

This is basically the hatred of completely exterminating the watermelon from the biological point of view.

"Red pupils."

While Estes was immersed in the dream of the complete extinction of watermelons, Black Lily walked over to Tooth Copper

"Huh?"

I don't know when I caught the red pupil of beef jerky

"Just give the watermelon to passer-by."

"It's worth a lot of money, these watermelons."

I can't tell that the red pupil is still stingy.

"Why are you so stingy? I'll pay for it, so send it out quickly. ”

For the sake of Estes' health and tomorrow's work, it is better for watermelons to disappear from the world as soon as possible.

After watching the red pupil really send the watermelon out, Black Lily secretly came to the eldest lady again.

"Hey, Miss Ellie, help me pay for something."

About Bradley and watermelon

Bradley and watermelon and cantaloupe are very fateful.

Remember the time Edward was hospitalized, and what happened in Dabris~

The President...... Watermelon.

Actually, it's really a good match.

First of all, the scorpion is red, and the Philosopher's Stone of the artificial man is also red (this explanation seems to be too cold.) Let's put it another way. οΌ‰

First of all, Russ is angry, and the fire in his body is very large, which is also known as the liver is hot.

Watermelon is a cool fruit, which has a very good diuretic effect and can make angry people lower their anger.

Go to the liver fire.

Make Bradley less angry.

At the same time, Amsteros is a landlocked country, except for the humid southern and central regions, the country's climate is somewhat dry, (but there seems to be a lot of suitable land for agriculture), except for the north, it is a relatively good mild continental climate.

To the east, the region of Ishbal is a desert area. Sandy soil is suitable for growing watermelons. Of course, if there is a water source.

Watermelon, on the other hand, is suitable for growing in places with little moisture, sandy soil, and places with large diurnal differences and long sunshine hours.

In this way, Ishbal in the east is a good place, and the hot Rashau Valley is also one of the suitable places.
