Chapter 69: Coco’s pocket

Humming softly, Coco continued to water the vegetables that seem to have grown more since yesterday, the lettuce, radish, carrots, and basils are all practically almost ready to harvest.

Coco would purify the water she takes from the river and would use that water to pour on her lovely plants.

The sun was already up in the sky, blaring down on the world below, lighting up and giving sunlight to the plants that needs the nutrient.

As she was watering the basils, the last one to water for the day, she had heard the familiar chime of the system’s notification before the brown scroll appeared in front of her.

[ Zaque’s Quest {1} done! Receiving rewards....]

[ Unlocking [Coco’s pocket], please wait a moment...]

Coco blinked, staring at the scroll in wonder, "Did Zaque finally see the ingredients I bought for him and started baking..?"

[ With 48 hours and 10 minutes to spare, every hour would be converted to gold coin and every minute would be converted to silver coins; the user may now access the pocket, making depositing and withdrawing money more convenient. ]

Coco’s eyes went as wide as saucers as she read the text in the scroll.

"Does that mean I have forty eight gold coins?" Coco mumbled, voice laced in surprise and disbelief, completely glossing over the rest of the scroll’s content and was fixated on how much money she earned from finishing the quest early.

[ To access the pocket, simply place a hand on your pocket. ]

Almost immediately, Coco dropped the bucket she was holding and slipped her hand in her pocket, eager to test out the new ability given to her by Lulu.

The moment she slipped her hand in her pocket, another scroll materialized before her eyes, containing the amount of money she currently has in the pocket— making her jaw drop.

[ Coco’s pocket:

gold coins and 10 silver coins

(Withdraw) (Deposit) ]

I really do have forty eight gold coins! Coco thought to herself, her lips curling up in a large grin as she stared at the amount of money she has.

"What are you doing, Coco?" Lala asked, flying over to her human friend.

She was growing a few numbers of kiwi trees, grape vines, and orange tree so Coco could harvest them, put them in the basket and harvest some more for the commissioned fruit for a certain nobleman.

She was minding her own business, until she wasn’t.

She heard something hit the ground, the sound echoing lightly in the forest, and turned to the source of the noise then saw Coco smiling to herself while she had her hand in her pocket.

She looked like she was happy.

However, that smile looked a little too happy which made the garden fairy curious. Especially when she saw the familiar brown scroll in front of Coco.

Ever since Coco started receiving the scroll, she gets anxious and wary or she would be either frowning or whining, but she saw or none of that from her human friend, instead she was smiling.

Smiling!

Something amazing must have been to Coco to have her smiling wide like that so Lala couldn’t help, but let the curiosity string her towards her friend.

Coco perked up, snapping out of her excited daze and looked at the approaching fairy, the look on her eyes changing from astonished to pure delight, beaming brightly towards Lala.

"The quest for Zaque is done and I have a virtual pocket as a reward!" Coco exclaimed, pulling her hand out of her pocket and giggling to herself, "I also have forty eight gold coins because I finished the quest early!"

At the mention of money, the fairy also brightened up significantly.

"Forty eight?! That’s a lot!" Lala squealed, reaching out to squeeze Coco’s nose as she giggle as well, "Does that mean you can use that virtual pocket for the money you earn from selling fruits and meats?"

Coco nodded her head as she laughed, "That’s right. I can store the money inside the pocket right now if you want."

"Then let’s try right now!" The fairy exclaimed, pulling her hand away from Coco’s nose and flying over to the group of fruitful group of tress where Coco placed her bag down, "Hurry! Hurry!"

"Coming, coming." Coco said, still laughing and smiling as she chase after the excited fairy.

When she reached the bag, she crouched down and started rummaging inside, she pushed the packed lunch aside carefully and grabbed the two pouches of money— one that she got from Mrs. Tani and another one that she got from the butcher shop.

She haven’t counted the money she from the butcher shop, but she knows that money from Mrs. Tani is fifty gold coins.

The mystery amount made her even more excited.

"Alright, how do I deposit money?" Coco asked no on in particular, sitting cross legged on the ground, and staring at the scroll before her.

She tried to touch the scroll, but it would evade her fingertips, moving aside and avoiding her hand.

The scroll moved as if it has a mind of its own.

"For fuck’s sake— stop moving!" Coco hissed, grabbing the scroll quite aggressively and squeezing it tightly.

"Just tell us how to use the pocket, Lulu!" Lala cried out, watching as Coco continued to shake the scroll as if she was choking it to death.

Suddenly, another scroll appeared beside Coco’s head, unceremoniously opening itself which made both the human and the fairy look at it, one was glaring and one was hopeful.

[ Stop hurting my scroll! Just put your hand in your pocket and say how much you want to deposit! ]

Texts starts to scribble and appear on the scroll, fast and quick, as if the writer was mad and hissing at the one who was reading the letter.

"Oh.." Coco blinked and let go of the scroll before she slipped her hand inside her pocket with the pouches of money, "Like this? So, uh, Deposit everything I have?"

In an instant, the money disappeared.
