Well... Truthfully this is really unexpected. I never thought I will meet her again, two times at the top of the gate of the Capital maybe still can be coincidence since that place have a nice view but...

"Aaron-san! What a surprise! I never thought I would meet you in here!" She exclaimed with smile

"Same here actually." I replied

For her to visit Arlham Village directly like this... This is clearly surprising event

"What are you doing in here?" Tear asked

"I live around this area, a mansion not far from here to be precise." I answered "How about you? What are you doing in here?" I asked back

"I come here to sell my stuff of course!" She gestured to the basket she carry with grin, her blue eyes seems sparkling for a moment "I was trying my luck, in Capital there's too many rival but in here? Well..." She pat her merchandise with satisfied face "I got a lot of profit."

"Well..." That's actually not wrong, the Capital is crowded place, she's not the only one who selling in there so... "But then why you open store in Capital in first place?"

"Because it's good place to make a name." She answered "It's the Capital after all, and while I also make profit but sometime I will need extra money and to get that I decide to go to one or two small village, so instead buying from Capital, they buy it from me. Granted my merchandise not that much, but profit still a profit."

"I see..." I hummed, that actually make sense in one or two way

As soon as I see her I decide to have talk with her privately in order to gaining information, right now I already separated from Petra and Luka, we were in flower garden that near the village, the place where Subaru want to spend his time with Emilia

"Still... I never thought there's a large flower garden like this in here." She said while crouching and poking one of the flowers with astonished face, she turned to me with smile "You live in good place Aaron-san."

"I'm not live in here but well, I guess you can say so." I replied nonchalantly

Normally I won't pick such place just for talk but since this place is quite far and isolated but at same time also not suspicious and open as well. I decide to pick it, just in case if there's someone spying or make a move toward us I can see and fight them without fear I would endangering someone

Save for Tear of course, but it's better one person than a group

"Hey, hey, do you mind if I pick few to be sold at Capital?"

"I'm not the owner but I won't suggest that, you will ruin this garden." I deadpanned. This girl... She's really greedy despite her benevolent look. Then again, that was to be expected from normal people like her, she's working to make money for living after all so...

"But if I take one or two..." She muttered while glancing to the flowers that everywhere "Maybe a dozen?"

How is it possible from one or two instantly go to dozen?!

"Just take one or two pairs please, don't take more than that." I said with sigh

"Thank you Aaron-san!" She replied with big smile "You're really well known around here eh Aaron-san?"

"You can say so." Pretty much everyone in village already know of my existence, and they all quite respectful to me. Thanks to the Charisma for that I suppose

"Hmmm, that sounds pretty good, it mean you're doing whatever you did right." She commented with approving nod "But you looks unhappy from that."

"Unhappy?" I quirked my eyebrow at her
