Chapter 141: The Longest Day in Troy: Orchid House (Part II)
Located not far from the dormitory area of the Magic School Park,This flower shop called "Orchid House" is also the only flower shop in the whole school park,"Orchid" - this kind of no eye-catching showiness,No huge flowers、Leaves,But with a simple and quiet、Elegant and noble temperament of the precious flower species of the small shop is also like an orchid,Close to the hustle and bustle of the avenue, it looks quite out of place in this neighborhood。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Also, judging by the fact that Troy didn't find anyone else in the room, despite the heavy traffic from the outside, its business was not very hot because of it.
There may be two reasons for this, one is that although most of the flowers and plants displayed in the "Orchid House" are very rare and carefully cut to be called "works of art", in fact, there are very few people in the entire continent of Southover who can afford to buy such small "potted plants", in other words, people are not in the habit of buying flowers and plants at all.
Perhaps more importantly, the aroma of the flowers in full bloom is hard to get used to, which is why so few people muster up the courage to enter this little shop.
And the owner doesn't seem to notice this at all, or does she simply not care if there will be customers?
......
......
......
Sunlight shines through windows of the same material as the door on different shades of green, light and shade red, and through the light, the tiny particles suspended in the air are visible to the naked eye, dust rather than magical elements.
There are three rows on the left side of the wall, and at the end of the right side there are two long rows, and the plants that quietly "live" in the "flower pots" unexpectedly did not make the boy who was very close to nature feel indescribably strange, on the contrary, he felt that there was nothing wrong with these flowers and plants staying in a reasonable place, but rather strengthened the sense of vitality.
"It's too much...... It's beautiful, but ......"
Faced with the scene of a florist full of exotic flowers and plants, Troy once again felt the lack of his own language and words, and at the same time, he also felt his own "ignorance", after all, after scanning the whole room, the boy could only recognize three kinds of plants, and all the others were varieties that he had never seen before.
"This kind of place, feels, is good. ”
Nervous, still nervous, even if you want to pretend to be natural and learn from others to make some "understandable" comments about this store, but the "idea" may not become "reality" after all, and in the end, the only thing that can be said is a dry "very good".
"The elements are flowing, and there's magic here, too?"
The embarrassment of focusing on plants but not being able to say anything was eliminated by changing the subject, and in fact, although Troy himself did not know it, he had stayed in front of the store not only because he had just walked here, but also because of the seemingly insurmountable "flow of people" in front of him.
And because of the reassuring magic that emanates from this shop.
"That's right. Because it's a magic school, of course, you can also use magic when taking care of plants. ”
Turning his head, Troy saw a touch of white coming from the very inconspicuous door in the corner, and it was the owner of the voice, the woman who single-handedly ran the entire flower shop.
"Strange faces,But it makes people feel very approachable.,Combined with your speech,Isn't it someone who just joined the school?"
Her speed of speech is moderate, and her voice is also very good, like a mountain spring, which should be the appearance of a person who is accompanied by wonderful flowers and plants all day long.
"Guess right?"
In the face of the other party's guess as soon as he looked at him, the surprised young man with a surprised expression on his face was equivalent to a positive response.
"Haha, you're so easy to understand, even if you don't make that statement, you can judge it from your face. ”
This is not the voice of the female shopkeeper, Lan Sifu, who disappeared for a while because he was deliberately ignored by the teenager, is this kind of remark that will detract from his previous calm and reliable image.
"Shut up, there's no time to pay attention to you right now. ”
Troy, who was so engrossed in talking to strangers in his consciousness that he had given such a cold response to the man who had lodged in his body with his magic, had forgotten that he had been asking for help from that man not long ago.
"That's good luck, but it's also good, only newcomers can't think of walking into this store, ha. ”
Dressed in a milky white dress that a teenager had never seen before, the female shopkeeper who would be hindered by the clothes - such as squatting - laughed at a sense of self-deprecation and bitterness, and made Troy deeply realize that this is the so-called "self-defeating".
You have to find a way to comfort her.
This is an idea born of a teenager in a moment. However, how to comfort a person is a difficult challenge for Troy, who has little experience in conversation.
"Just kidding. Haha, you're funny. The other party's solemn face for a moment made the female shopkeeper misunderstood, and she smiled like a quiet orchid, she raised her hand to her lips to cover it, and her delicate posture could arouse male desire.
"Your hand...... Ah, sorry, I said it without paying attention. ”
However, Troy noticed something else. Compared with the slender waist, the body with no lack of plumpness, the elegant demeanor and the beautiful cheeks, the hands are too incongruous, the joints are prominent, the skin that should be smooth and flawless is full of traces of earth, and there are countless bruises and scratches, and even some of the wounds are still bleeding, which looks pitiful.
"Nothing to be sorry about. What about hands...... Ah, yes, yes, I was too focused to notice it, and I was scratched, but that's a common thing. ”
The corners of his mouth were still smiling, and he held the bleeding place with another "scarred" hand, it turned out that this woman who could definitely be called a "beauty" in the eyes of Troy, no less beautiful than Vena, and even more victorious seemed to be completely unaware of the wound on her hand.
"It's a very common thing...... Is it?"
――The wound is bleeding, doesn't it hurt?
These are the words that the boy wanted to say but couldn't say.
"Well, it's just a minor injury. It's not easy to build flowers...... Am I going to get some small wounds or something if I'm not careful, or am I being too clumsy?"
The look of his eyes lowered was very seductive, and the boy could already hear his own accelerated heartbeat.
"You...... Sure enough, well, kind. Even if we stumble into this shop, maybe, we'll become good friends? Can you tell me your name before that?"
- "Friends"?
Here's a little advice from Vina after Troy suggested she was going to travel alone last night:
"Try to make a friend".
"I ...... Troy, my name is Troy. ”
Is it such a simple answer?
The response was a little hasty, and the young man was pondering in his heart, waiting for the other party's follow-up.
"It's called Troy, a rare name, where are you from? It must be a distant place, right?" her quiet voice echoed in the young man's ears, gradually causing inexplicable ripples, "Ah, it's rude, since you have already told me your name, then, I should reply accordingly." ”
"Irma, that's my name. ”
