"Pardon? This flower?"

Edward blinked. Then Elisha poked Cassis on his side and said.

"Right, Cassis? Isn't that the one we saw back then?"

"The colours are a bit different, but they look similar."

Cassis calmly replied and ate macarons.

Edward's eyes grew beyond recognition. He was so surprised that his hand holding the teacup trembled.

Ack. What's going on here?

Just as surprised as Edward, I stared at Elisha and Cassis.

Edward put down the teacup and asked with a much-anticipated look.

"You really saw that in Mori Forest? Do you happen to remember where?"

"Hmm. I came across it during the treasure hunt. I just saw a glimpse of it from the top of a cliff, so I'm not exactly sure where it is."

"If it's the location, I remember it."

Elisha mumbled at Edward's sudden question of location. Then Cassis answered plainly.

"How long has it been since you discovered it?"

"It was during the summer festival."

As Elisha scratched her head and responded, Edward spoke in an excited tone.

"Then it's probably not gone yet. Young Master, if you don't mind, could you take me there right away?"

"No, it's annoying."

Cassis shook his head when he asked to go to Mori Forest in this cold winter.

"Then at least the location in detail..."

Edward had a hard time trying to convince Cassis.

I thought with the macaron near my mouth while they were arguing.

So you're saying that there might be a lot of gold buried in our forest right now?

I quickly put the macaron into my mouth and counted with one hand.

Whatever came out, I thought this would be a hit.

This must be found.

I blinked, grabbing Cassis's hand and begged.

"Cassis. I want to go for a walk, let's go now. To Mori Forest."

"No thanks. It's too bothersome to go."

Cassis sipped the tea, replying in a nonchalant way. Maybe he was a little disappointed that I also wanted to go.

I shook his arm and whined.

"Don't be like that, let's go. Okay? Let's go to the Time Flower place while we're there."

"Do you like that flower?"

"Huh?"

"Do you want that flower?"

Mhm. I want the artifact under that flower!

I nodded vigorously. The flowers were pretty anyway.

Cassis jumped up after thinking for a moment.

"Let's go, for a walk."

Cassis declared cheerfully.

"Yay!"

There was real treasure hidden in our forest!

I shouted excitedly at the sign that my dad's business would really hit the jackpot.
