Chapter 59: Three hundred?!

"Did he say what he wanted?"

Coco may have experienced something traumatic today, but the tension inside the room right now reminds her of the strong current of the waterfall earlier— dragging her down and pushing her against a rock with aggression.

If she could compare the grim look on Mrs. Tani’s face to her experience earlier then that says a lot, doesn’t it?

"I know that it would be too much, but.." Mrs. Tani paused for a brief moment, as if to gather enough courage to say what the man wanted from her or from Mrs. Tani, "He wants to buy the fruits you sold to me a few days ago."

"He.. What?" Coco blinked, her shoulders sagging forward as she let out a sigh of relief, "He just wanted fruits?"

"Yes, he just wanted fruit— wait, what?" Mrs. Tani stopped and backed tracked as she blinked in surprise, "Just? Those fruits that you grew cost a lot, Mrs. Hughes!"

Mrs. Tani’s voice rose in volume, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion and slight disbelief at how nonchalant Coco Hughes looked before her. It was as if she didn’t know how much the fruits were!

"I know it costs a lot." Coco started with a frown of her own, "But you shouldn’t be scared of someone just because they wanted fruits."

"He’s a known nobleman in the main city." Mrs. Tani retorted back, picking up the teacup from the table and taking a sip, hoping that it would calm her nerves down, "He asked me to specifically bring him a kilo of kiwis, grapes, and oranges in Yolo Village by the end of the week."

Kaching!

The sound echoed in the garden fairy’s mind which made her gasp loudly and look at Coco, "Ask her how much you will earn from this nobleman she mentioned, Coco!"

Coco nodded her head, silently telling Lala that she heard her demand and cleared her throat, ".. What would I get from this nobleman? What did he tell you that he would give as an exchange if I give you a kilo of each fruit?"

Mrs. Tani took a sip from the tea once more, closing her eyes as the cogwheels in her mind turned.

Should I tell Mrs. Hughes about the amount Mr. Cervello would give me or should I just tell her about the freezer I asked for from him? Mrs. Tani contemplates and juggles her options.

Coco Hughes doesn’t know that Mr. Cervello would give Mrs. Tani five hundred gold coins in exchange for the fruits as long as Mrs. Tani won’t say anything about it.

However..

"Mr. Cervello said that he would give me five hundred gold coins, but I asked for a freezer as well because you told me this morning that you wanted it." Mrs. Tani stated, informing Coco Hughes of the coins she will receive from Mr. Cervello.

If I want Coco Hughes to be one of my producers, I need to be honest to her. No matter what. Mrs. Tani thought, her heart racing in both determination and eagerness.

Coco Hughes has proved over and over again that she had changed from her past ways, became responsible, strong, and dependable.

The trash of Yogusho Village couldn’t lift a hand to help her husbands before, but now? She had brought one of her husbands to the magic stone shop to buy magic stones for their house! All because of what?

All because she wanted for his husband to start baking and cooking easier without having to chop wood or using so much effort to just cook a single meal.

The merchant thought with admiration, all the things she heard today had been shocking, but it was the proof she needed.

"Oh, my fucking goodness!" Coco exclaimed, her jaw dropping from the amount of money she just had heard, "Are you serious? Five hundred gold coins? But we will have to split it because he ordered it from you—"

Coco stopped talking, a mischievous glint crossing her eyes as she stared at Mrs. Tani, "The freezer is mine, right?"

Mrs. Tani blinked and felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the predatory look in Coco’s emerald eyes, "Y.. Yes? I was thinking of giving you three hundred gold coins as well.."

"Three hundred?! Gold coins?!" The fairy squealed in excitement and glee, "That’s so much money, Coco!"

Coco ignored the fairy’s outburst and shook her head towards Mrs. Tani, "No, no, I only want the freezer and two hundred gold coins— a hundred gold coins will go to pay off my debt at Red Horse Inn’s pub."

"What?!" Lala shrieked out of shock, her wings flapping with fervor as she flew to Coco’s face, "Just two hundred? She said that she’s willing to give you three hundred gold coins! Take it back!"

Coco kept her eyes at Mrs. Tani and ignored the way the fairy grasped the bridge of her nose, screaming and demanding for Coco to take back what she just said.

However, Coco wasn’t aiming for the money, she was aiming for..

"Since we’re on the topic of selling the fruits to a nobleman.. How does being a business partner sound to you, Mrs. Tani?" Coco tilted her head, a smile creeping into her face as she picked up the robe from the bag, pushed the teacup away and placed it on the table.

"Business partner..?" Mrs. Tani blinked and watched as Coco untied the tattered robe to reveal something strange looking.

"Are you aware of what this is, Mrs. Tani?" Coco asked, completely untying the robe and let the cheap silk slide off the dragon fruits.

"Is that edible?" Mrs. Tani kept staring at the strange looking thing on the table, a look of confusion in her face.

"Yes." Coco hummed out, standing up from her seat, "Would you mind if I use your kitchen for a bit? I need to open this and let you have a taste."

"Ah, no, no, go ahead.."
