Chapter 65: We’re your friends

"Don’t be sad, Coco. We can just buy you a toaster and magic stone to see how it works." Lala said, trying her best to cheer up her sad and sulking human friend.

However, the crease on her human friend’s eyebrows didn’t lessen which made the fairy’s frown deepen, "If not, we can just buy something greater and better than the ones you bought for Coco Hughes’s husbands."

".. It’s okay." Coco said, her voice low and small, being mindful of not not being too loud because she’s walking on a busy street.

She was just simply curious about how magic stones work, but it seems that the mediators aren’t really that welcoming to the idea of her being introduced to such things.

Thus, making her upset and act childish.

Whenever she gets curious about something in her past life, she would pursue that curiosity and would try to satiate that itchy thirst in a nicest way possible, but if things still didn’t go her way despite her doing it in a good way, it would leave her feeling bad for the rest of the day.

It seems like she carried that attitude of hers even into this world.

When she reached the butcher shop, her mood somehow shifted slightly because when she opened the and saw Jacques counting the coins they earned for the day, the sound of the coins clinking made her smile.

It was already dark, but it wasn’t that late considering the people of the village still walking around.

"Welcome back, Coco." Renaldo greeted her when he heard the door open and quickly shot a glance towards the direction to see who it was, "Are you done with your other business? How did it go?"

"Great." Came a short and curt response which alarmed the married couple.

Oh, no.. It looks like her mood got worse. The couple simultaneously thought as they shot a glance at each other, swallowing thickly.

They could tell that something was off with her when she dropped off the flying pig, but now it got worse? Just what happened? She looked happy when she walked past the butcher shop earlier, but what happened after that?

With a hurry, Jacques placed all the coins inside the pouch that she had stitched specifically for Coco and thrusted it into the black haired woman’s hand.

"Here, no need to pay us tonight, just have a meal, sleep, and rest." She said, spinning Coco around and immediately pushed her towards the door, not wanting to step on a landmine by letting her stay inside the shop any longer.

For once, the fairy who didn’t like anyone except for Coco, agreed with Jacques.

Lala kept nodding her head, cheering for the pink haired woman to be tough, strong, and protect his husband from Coco’s frustration!

Jacques needed to force Coco out of there so she could eat dinner and save anyone from receiving a bad treatment that Coco might regret later, and Lala doesn’t want that.

She can’t have Coco regretting anything!

"What? But I have to—"

"No! We can receive payment tomorrow! Just take a rest right now and make sure to get enough sleep." Jacques insisted, accidentally cutting Coco off and continued to force her out of the shop.

However, Coco is strong.

She simply dug her heels on the ground to stop Jacques from pushing her out and raised an eyebrow. She opened the pouch, checked the amount, but she knew she couldn’t count it so she brought out eleven gold coins.

"Here." Coco said, spinning around in a split second and catching Jacques before she could lose her balance, "Ten gold coins for now because I don’t know how much we earned tonight."

She forced Jacques to stand on her feet and placed the gold coins on the woman’s palm, "I added one gold coin as delivery fee.. Can you bring the part of the pig I asked for to my house? That will be my mediators’ dinner."

"I mean.. Sure?" Renaldo said, blinking owlishly towards his friend who nodded her head in appreciation, "I’m guessing that they don’t want you in the house..?"

"Yes." Coco answered bluntly, "And I’m not going back to that house in a couple of days so I will have to count on you two to deliver things for me. You don’t have to worry, I’ll pay you two extras for every delivery."

"Huh?" Renaldo ceased washing his knives and raised an eyebrow, "Why would you pay us? That’s a simple delivery favor asked by a friend. There’s no need for payment."

"My husband is right." Jacques agreed, backing up her husband’s statement after recovering from the whiplash she received from Coco’s fast and quick movements with furrowed eyebrows.

"Why would you pay your friends for asking a favor? Aren’t we your friends?" The pink haired woman asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Louder!" The garden fairy cheered, fist bumping the air and flying around Jacques, "Coco doesn’t need to go back to that house every time she needs to give them somey! Tell her!"

It was a comical sight.

A fairy screaming words to someone’s ear who clearly can’t hear a word she was saying, but still screams on the top of her lungs.

Coco could only shake her head at the garden fairy’s antics.

"Okay, okay, I’m sorry." Coco apologized and threw her hands in the air in a surrendering manner, "That was wrong of me, I admit. I just don’t want you two to feel like I’m using you as my delivery men or helpers."

"But that’s what friends are for." Renaldo said with a matter of fact tone, "Helping their friends in their time of need, right?"

Coco blinked, not expecting for them to actually see her as their friend.

"What?" The butcher asked with a frown, "Don’t give me that look as if you don’t believe me. You’re the one who told us that we’re your friends."

"He’s right, Coco! You’re stuck with us!"
