Chapter 19. A Glimpse of Hope

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 It's still can be a coincidence since that place have a nice view but...

Tear: "Y/N-san! What a surprise! I never thought I would meet you in here!"

She exclaimed with smile.

(Y/N): "Same here actually."

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

Tear: "What are you doing in here?"

(Y/N): "I live around this area, a mansion not far from here to be precise. How about you? What are you doing in here?"

Tear: "I come here to sell my stuff of course!"

She gestured to the basket she carry with a grin, her blue eyes seems sparkling for a moment.

Tear: "I was trying my luck, in the Capital there's too many rival but in here? Well..."

She pat her merchandise with satisfied face.

Tear: "I got a lot of profit."

(Y/N): "Well..."

That's actually not wrong, the Capital is crowded place, she's not the only one who is selling in there so...

(Y/N): "But then why you open a store in the Capital in the first place?"

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

(Y/N): "I see..."

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

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

Tear: "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.

Tear: "You live in good place Y/N-san."

(Y/N): "I don't 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 the 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 so 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.

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

(Y/N): "*deadpan* I'm not the owner but I won't suggest that, you will ruin this garden."

This girl... She's really greedy despite her benevolent look. Then again, that was to be expected from a normal people like her, she's working to make money for living after all so...

Tear: "But if I take one or two..."

She muttered while glancing to the flowers that is everywhere.

Tear: "Maybe a dozen?"
