8. Shopping 2

When I walked into Rhona's store and looked inside, she looked like something was bothering Flora as she tilted her neck in the corner where the product was located.

Sure you can pick one of our gloves? And I asked you, but I didn't know you were thinking that much... I approach Flora with that in mind and speak up.

"Flora?"

"Oh, Lena! Youre too!"

"Ugh, yeah, I'm here because I'm out of business, right?

"Really?... I haven't narrowed down the numbers yet, but how about this? I thought I'd pick some, but what do you say?

To say so, Flora took a step back from the spot. I wonder what gloves Flora has by moving? When I thought of it, there were lighter water colors, lighter pink, and more colorful gloves than I thought red or white, black or brown.

"You've got a lot more colors than I thought."

"Right! The wide variety of colors makes this store proud!

Then Flora said so happily. I was convinced to hear why there were so many kinds, smiling a little at Flora's appearance that was a bit unusual. Because people walking in the city weren't wearing very bright colored clothes or anything......

"But it's not all there, but the size of our hands makes it this kind..."

You mean there's something else besides this color? While I'm a little surprised about that, should I buy any of them? Yua stared at the pink gloves when she was worried. I knew you were worried about the light pink color when you were a girl......

"Does Youre like light pink?

"Oh, no, that's not true. I was worried about which color to use."

That's what Youre said, but his gaze was toward pink gloves. You care so much......

"Shall Yua be pale pink? I'll buy this light water color."

"Yes. Wait a minute, please."

That's what Flora said and disappeared behind the store. Then Yua spoke in horror.

"Lena..."

"You wanted that color, didn't you?

"... yeah"

When I said that, Yua nodded with that look at me. The look on your face doesn't look good, but is it embarrassing because your neck is slightly red? And that's what I thought.

And then after a while, Flora came back, like, a little pale for some reason? Is something wrong?

"Um, I meant the gloves earlier..."

"What's wrong?

"Well, the price..."

... Could it be a little expensive? Well, I might not be able to help it if it was expensive because it had a beautiful color.

"How much was it?

"... They say the water color is five silver coins and the pink color is one gold coin"

"Ki, one gold coin"

Then Yua's mouth, surprised by the price, was slightly drawn. Well, given Yua's previous life, it could be a lot of money you can't think about. But lately, I've been hunting a few times, but I feel like I can afford enough gold... and laughed bitterly as I paid for Youre.

"Well, now, please"

"Huh?!? Wait a minute!

Flora, who received the money, for a moment, surprised but said so and disappeared into the back of the store. Maybe surprised by the big bucks and left the money early? And Yua pulled the sleeve of her clothes back from an earlier surprise when she thought that.

"Here, this, my share"

That's what you said and you gave me the gold coin, but I refused to accept it.

"Have it."

"So, but because it's what I want..."

"You spend a lot of the money Yua has for the orphanage, don't you? You need a lot of things for winter, don't you? So I'll pay for this place."

"So, but I'm fine because I'm making a lot of money thanks to you, Lena!

"Maybe, but you can't go hunting alone, can you?

"Oh, that's not true!

"It's dangerous on its own because some parts are still dangerous. I'm here, so if you need anything, you can rush, but if you're alone, you're gonna have to do anything, okay?

……

When I said that, Youre seemed unhappy, but I snorted reluctantly. For once, Flora came back feeling a little relieved because she seemed to think it was dangerous by herself.

"This is Lena, and this is Youre's."

That's what Flora gave me was like a wipe. When I received it and looked inside, it contained the gloves I bought earlier. Apparently, you put it in this bag.

"Thank you, thank you for the bag"

"Oh, thank you. Take care of it, huh?

We were a little embarrassed by Flora.

"Well, I made that bag, so I'm glad you're happy about it."

"Really? Did Flora make this for you?

"Yeah,... maybe you haven't done well, but I'm glad you like it"

"Thanks"

"Thank you."

That said, we were stroking and hugging Flora, but Flora was shy and disappeared into the back of the store.

I guess I did a little too much...... and i told her that i had earlier because mr. rona came out of the back thinking that and asked flora what had happened. Then Lorna said to go to Flora's room with a bitter laugh, so we headed to Flora's room.
