A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 38

Translator: Shaini | Editor: Darling

To the counter-clockwise west of the Rinklat territory was the Shacksford territory that was connected to the great shrine.

They had departed for the great shrine 5 days ago and they had now reached the intermediate point, the town of Kuric as per their schedule.

“Uwahh, amazing. This town is full of flowers right?”

“It’s famous for its perfumes.”

“I’m sure that it will have a nice scent.”

The town of Kuric was surrounded by lots of flowers.

The streets are filled with well-maintained flower beds and each house and shop grows lovely potted flowering plants. There was a watering can along with them. It was like a botanical garden.

The inn that Selesina and the others were staying at was decorated with beautiful flower curtains. The released a sweet scent that calmed the heart.

Odette and Gisele watched the room interiors while fidgeting with sparkling eyes. Selesina’s face loosened watching that adorable appearance.

“We’ll be departing in the morning tomorrow so you can relax till then. Odette as well, you can place your luggage in your room and spend your time as you want till night.”

“Lady Selesina, thank you.”

Gisele would be going around town with Anton and Selesina would be free as well.

She had visited Kuric while playing the game but she hadn’t visited the place in this life. There were plenty of flower seeds available here so she planned to purchase some.

‘It’s impossible right now but I want to create a flower field around the great tree in the future with 100 types of flowers and call forth divine beasts.’

It was still a long way away but she was excited just thinking about it.

‘Sele, what do you plan to do after this?’

His timing was good since she had just called Hisui and told him that she wanted to go shopping.

Soratek asked her to wait.

“I will go shopping with you as well.”

“But……..we’re just going shopping for flower seeds so it might be boring for you.”

“I don’t mind. I don’t really have many opportunities to go out with you like this. No matter the purpose, I look forward to it.”

“Lord Soratek……”

It was something that one would tell their lover. Selesina blushed. Since he was a capture target his smile had tremendous destructive power.

Selesina acknowledged that she couldn’t refuse the offer.

“Uwahh, there are lot’s of types…….!”

They quickly came to the big flower shop in the center of town. There were several flower-related stores with attached greenhouses.

There were pretty flowers and carnivorous flowers. A wide collection had been lined up.

‘Uwah, it’s my first time seeing it in real life……’

Do they eat flies and small insects? Selesina inclined her head and watched the carnivorous flower that had its mouth open.

According to its type, it was considered to be a flower but she didn’t know whether the system would acknowledge it as a flower.

‘……….Let’s keep this on hold.’

“There are many types of flowers. Sele, did you like anything?”

“There are many types we don’t usually see so I’m a little lost.”

There were the roses that Selesina liked and also several other unknown flowers.

There were rainbow-colored roses. The petals on the outside were transparent.

It was so much fun just watching them, time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

However, this time around Selesina was searching for flowers to grow in Selin village so they had to be easy to grow and cheap.

The rainbow-colored rose from earlier was not extremely expensive but still considered expensive for the village.

“Cosmos, Margaret, Geranium, and Verbena might be easy to grow. I want to put them in pots and decorate the village with them.”

“That’s good, it will be gorgeous.”

Selesina gave the names of the flowers and Soratek agreed. Hisui, who was waiting behind them purchased the seeds that she needed.

Growing them from seeds was difficult. If they wanted to take saplings then it would be a good idea to purchase them on the way back.

Soratek watched Hisui speak to the store manager and placed his hand on his chin.

“Hmm………”

He called out to another shop assistant.

“Can you wrap up this ‘Platinum Rose’ seedling?”

‘Certainly.”

The inner petals of the platinum rose shone like platinum and it turned into a light blue as it went outwards.

It was beautiful like Selesina, Soratek thought.

“Will you raise this at Selin village as well?”

“At Selin village? Of course Lord Soratek. Thank you…….!”

She thanked Soratek for his gift and glanced at the price…….there was a difference of about 4 digits in price from the stuff that Selesina had bought.

‘Once my house is complete I’ll raise this inside.’

She couldn’t help but be concerned that the stem could break due to strong winds if it were left outside. She would go back and ask the gardener how to care for it and cherish it.

They returned back to the inn with Hisui carrying the seeds and the platinum rose sapling in his arms.

Buying any more than this would hinder the journey tomorrow.

A normal girl would have been interested in perfume but unfortunately, Selesina didn’t feel the need for it.

‘Ah, but………..there was an event where you could wear the same perfume as the in-game one.’

Moreover, an event where you can add perfume was trilling.

She remembered the line of the capture target – ‘There is a shop that I want to visit.’

Unfortunately, Selesina wouldn’t hear that dialogue since she wasn’t the heroine but she would certainly become nervous if she were told that.

When Selesina was leaving the store, Soratek called out to her.

“Sele, there is a shop that I want to visit.”

“Eh………?”

The words that came out of Soratek’s mouth were those that Selesina was just thinking about. They solidified her thoughts.
