Volume 8 Chapter 50: Dangerous Combination

Keith went to the town circle; the girl told him they would meet there. I can ask her about this after all. He took a deep sigh as he stared at the sky.

"Keith!" Carolyn called out, "Did you wait long?"

"No, I didn't want too long. You look cute in that outfit." Carolyn was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and some pants. It was refreshing and easy on the eyes. She also had her hair done in a ponytail as well.

Carolyn smiled, "Thank you,"

"What do you want to do first?"

"For starters, how about we look around the stalls. I heard they have some interesting items. Also, we could go there before we watch the play later." There was quite some time before the play started.

"Sure, let's do that." The two started to walk over to the stalls.

"It's been quite some time since we hung out, just the two of us."

"Really?"

"That's because there's a lot of people who want to hang out with you." Keith was quite the busy man; his schedule was filled up left and right with people.

"Ooo, this looks interesting!" Carolyn stared at a bunch of hats. They were all colorful and lovely.

"Try anything you want, Miss." The hawker waved. Carolyn took a hat off the rack, "What do you think about this?"

"Go with this color instead." Keith took something off the rack; it was the same style as the one the girl wore but a lighter color instead.

"The style suits you, but the color is too dark. You're going to die on a sunny day."

"Pff," Carolyn laughed, "You sound like a grandpa!"

"That's because I actually am!" Keith started to stroke his non-existent beard.

Carolyn shook her head as she wore it, "What do you think now?"

"10 out of 10." His fingers were raised as he complimented, "We'll take this," Keith handed the coins.

"I can pay."

"You can pay for our tickets later. And I can tell you really like this one."

"Huh?"

"You tend to choose things based on eyesight." The moment that girl glimpsed around, he knew what she wanted.

"….I don't."

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"Woman, I know you more than anyone else. You do that a lot." Like the back of his hand, Keith knew Carolyn's ques individually. One of them was her eyes. Whenever she entered a store, her eyes would stare at something she wanted much longer than the others.

"..."

"If you didn't like it, you could have gotten the other hat," There was that as well.

Carolyn hid her face behind the hat, "…How do you know so much about me? Do you always stare at me so much?"

"Because you're my childhood friend."

"..." Carolyn held the hat before Keith questioned, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, let's go and shop some more!" Carolyn grabbed his hand and dragged him to the next store. The next one was pretty weird, as there were a lot of trinkets around.

"What's this ring?"

"Ahh, you have a good eye, young lady! That's a color ring. Try wearing it," The hawker smiled. Carolyn did so, and when she injected mana,

"My hair color changed!" Her silver hair was now a beautiful brown.

"With this ring, you can change your hair and eye color anytime."

"...How much does it cost?" Price was something he needed to figure out.

"1 gold coin."

"What the? That's robbery," Wasting coins was something that Keith was in for unless it was worth it. This was not worth it. Carolyn agreed, "What else can you do for us?"

"How about this? I'll throw in another ring and also a change mask. That'll be 15 silver coins."

"What's the change mask?" "It's a mask that can change into any mask you like."

"...." Do we really need something like that? Before Keith could retort, "I'll take them!" She didn't hesitate as she handed the coins over.

"Are you sure?"

"Mmhmm, I quite like something like this. You can have the mask."

"..." What am I going to do with this?

"Where do you want to go?"

"I was thinking about going to a gardening store. I need to buy some flowers."

Carolyn blinked, "Eh? I didn't peg you to be such a flower lover."

"Oh, that's because I plan to have a garden full of them in my pergola." Keith planned to plant some on the outer perimeter of the island so Bei and the dragon bees could feast. The other was to set an amazing ambiance for the pergola.

"Sure," Carolyn giggled as the two headed into the shop. It was run by an elf, "Hello, Boss. What would you like to have?"

"Do you have any colorful flowers? Also, can I see the scentful ones as well?" Aromatic flowers were excellent as well.

"Sure, please come this way," The elf then let him over to some fresh flowers.

"You know the guy?"

"Oh, yeah. He's a regular at my cart." Keith had a lot of owners coming to his cart to get something to eat. With Alfia and Scarlet there, things were quite calming. Over time, he got to know them.

"Please pick what you prefer. The scented ones are on the right." The elf smiled. Keith nodded and started to look through them, "Oh, don't you think this one is good?"

What Keith had picked up was a green flower. It was a vibrant emerald green like the shade of his eyes.

"That's called a Verde Leven."

"Hmm? I think you should pair it up with something like this," Carolyn then picked up a purple flower, "Your island is already quite green; you should mix the flowers up so it doesn't blend in."

"Oh, you picked the one with your eye color. Typical." Keith chuckled.

"Hmpf! Pot calling the kettle black!" He did the same thing as well!

"…." "Pff." "Hehe." The two laughed, "Guess we're too basic. But the color composition is nice/" Carolyn and Keith had always picked their go-to.

"…" Carolyn thought, "Um, don't you think this is a little odd?"

"Hmm?"

"Doesn't it look kinda poisonous?"

Keith glanced at his flower and then at Carolyn's. He kept doing this for a good minute. Now that she mentioned it, they're both pretty dark-colored flowers. Putting them around the pergola,

Yeah, it would look kinda poisonous. Keith would have to put a do not touch sign outside.

"We should get something different." Keith asked the elf, "Do you have a lighter green and purple?" He liked the color combination. Only the darkness was the problem.

"Of course! Would these two be fine?" It didn't take a second before the elf brought out some flowers. Thank goodness you pointed that out, Girl. He also thought the color combination was quite a venomous sight in any place.

"That's great!" Keith clapped, "We need to pick out a couple more."

"How many are you planning to plant?" Carolyn tilted her head.

"A good amount; I think we will have a rainbow flower field. We're going to have multiple flower combos." Keith grinned. He definitely wants it to be nice and colorful.

"Also, I need to get the seed of that flower."

"Eh?"

"Herrick kept whining about wanting to raise those plants again." Whining, more begging, and crying. It seemed he wanted to do it again. And he didn't mind.

"..."

"Yeah, we'll see Herrick with a bottle again." The Herrick bottle arc was about to occur again.

"Also, you got yourself a good idea for things like this."

"…Mmhmm." Carolyn nodded as she continued to help him pick.
