The moment the glass door was opened, which had been shattered by the special treatment, the fragrance was mixed with a fragrance so strong that it almost made the unsuspecting faint, and then a variety of flowers and plants came into Troy's somewhat confused eyes.

It's a ...... Florist?

If you think about it, there is indeed a sign engraved with the word "Orchid House" on the outside of this room, but this information is not taken seriously by Troy.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Seemingly expressionless—the only reason he didn't know what to do next, and could be mistaken for a teenager who wasn't afraid of the dizzying scent of the mixture—Troy began to cough two seconds after stepping into the room.

"There's no way, even I'm about to pass out with such a strong floral scent. ”

"Can you smell it? No...... What should I do next?"

Spitting is also one of the fastest things a teenager learns, but the urgent situation in front of him makes him only complain about this sentence, and then, the words in his consciousness instantly softened and became a quite qualified request.

"Gee, I didn't think you could ask someone like that. There's really no way, there's really no way for me to refuse someone's request, ah, just like the 'before' you. ”

Closing the book, Lance raised a calm eyebrow and said.

"Before?, that is, now I ......"

"Instead of that, let's take a look at the surroundings, and now you don't seem to be able to see the 'shopkeeper' who can be your 'talking partner'. ”

“...... Obviously you provoked it. ”

"Haha, don't say that. In short, try it first, no matter what the situation, being aware of the surrounding environment is the first thing to do. ”

This is the end of the conversation in his consciousness, and the speed at which he and Lance have a conversation in this way is something that Troy himself did not expect.

"In that case...... Is anyone there?"

Looking around, the boy made an unexpected "bold" move, and Troy, who had summoned up his courage in an instant, directly asked.

"Yes...... But I can't spare my hand here.,Sorry for the hospitality.,Please take a look around yourself.,If you find something you like.,Ah sneeze...... Hah, come to me again. ”

It's still the ethereal female voice from before, but after this conversation, the young man's imaginary appearance for this woman he hasn't met has changed a little.

Seems to be getting a little "cute"?

"Why, by the voice of a person and by what she says, I can make some conjectures in my mind about her appearance? ”

"Well, it's not much like what I imagined, and I'm sorry for looking at your thoughts without permission. However, it doesn't mean much to say sorry for what has already been done. ”

"Saying that would make me lower my opinion of you? I thought that Lance, the leader of the Association Enforcer's team, should be a man who pays more attention to these things, but now that he is 'self-defeating' because he is dead?"

Again, I was shocked by Troy's description, but it was only a little more than a month, and the time that can really be called "learning" was only a few days...... Is it? In such a short period of time, he has gone from being a child who doesn't know anything to what he is now? Is it a "good thing" or a "bad thing"?

The man living in Troy's consciousness thought like this, he didn't know if what he was thinking could also be detected by the other party, judging from the previous conversation, it shouldn't be, so it was better not to tell him about that thing for the time being.

-- About, "The reason why you are like this is because your mind is gradually assimilating with me."

"That kind of speech is really heart-wrenching, after all, you can't do anything if you die. ”

"But aren't you 'dead man' still jumping around in my head......? What I did in the past was 'wrong', right?"

"Oh, it's not that I'm afraid to talk to others, but I'm afraid that I'm afraid of causing trouble to others, you're really kind, young man, and associations may really suit you. ”

“...... Aren't you going to see all of that? No, forget it, just let me do it myself. ”

It seems that he finally realized that the conversation with Lance can only bring more troubles to himself, and he simply stopped paying attention to the pure white space in his consciousness, and the young man who exhaled heavily turned his heart to the side, and the first thing he did was-

- Raise your arms.

Then, Troy covered his nose with a rather plain sleeve that was not wide, and it was kind of to isolate some of the surrounding aromas that were difficult for most people to accept.

In this way, you can observe the scenery around you with peace of mind...... Also, does it really matter if the owner of this store is there, and can humans really survive in this environment for a long time?

While thinking like this, the teenager also felt his own growth. Questions like this were not possible to ask on their own before...... How can I say that? It is useful to guess and imitate the way of thinking, the words and the actions of your peers.

Having spent the previous sixteen years in that small village and not fitting in with the outside world, this was already clear from the very beginning of the conversation with Ralph. The natural answer can only make people from the outside world feel troubled, because the knowledge of the world that I have learned in the small village is too narrow.

I don't want to be like that, I want to be like others, even if it's just to not burden my peers.

To do this, being able to communicate with others independently is something that must be learned.

"Okay, okay. ”

This was the end of the thought that had plucked up his courage, and with a little difficulty he had given a response to the shopkeeper, who still did not know where he was "hiding", and the young man, who had begun to get used to the suffocating aroma of the not spacious house, looked around and imprinted every corner of the room in his mind.

“...... There are so many flowers and plants that I haven't seen before. ”

Troy, who was slightly more relaxed than before, was immediately attracted by the variety of exotic plants in the house. As mentioned above, this is a "flower shop", and although he doesn't know what this concept means, it doesn't really matter, and the simple boy who has been surrounded by the mountains since he was a child quickly revels in the energy of these rare vegetation.

Green and plants represent "vitality". (To be continued.) )
