Bluebird Lady and The White Lion Family Chapter 36

🐾

 

“Professor Canus, this is a report about the margin of error, the reason, and other experimental methods.”

 

— Hmm. Miss Sophina, do you think this is feasible?

 

“Professor, please don’t fail… !”

 

The fire was not easily extinguished.

 

As such, Sophina devoted herself more to studying the use of Canus and Roneache flowers.

 

However, there was no result as it was a waste of time to make a fuss by yielding it.

 

Sophina gritted, ‘That terrible informant!’

 

I secretly wrote to him in the tight reality and asked him to give me all the information he had.

 

— Customers can find out! Cheer up~ You’ve only received answers like that.

 

The informant must have been a late-century sentiment freak.

 

Or more than that, he doesn’t even know himself, so he’s flying a puffer.

 

In any case, I even felt unpleasant that I was being played into his hands.

 

‘It’s bitter for an early bird.’

 

Sophina lamented sullenly, trying to find another way on the outdoor terrace next to the flower bed of Roneache.

 

“Ugh, it’s ruined!”

 

— That’s right, it’s ruined.

 

Sophina, who was looking at the relevant data, banged her head on the table, and Canus fell along with it.

 

“Brewing tea, cooling as iced tea, making pills, using it for skin care, fermenting… There must have been twenty other things besides that.”

 

Sophina answered instead of Canus.

 

“…”

 

Sophina let out a short sigh.

 

After all the fuss, Ricardo finally found out.

 

The fact that she’s looking for ways to use the Roneache flower.

 

So, while Canus searched ancient books, he found out that the Roneache flower might be a thing of the past.

 

‘I haven’t talked to anyone about the information, so it’ll be fine.’

 

Sophina was positively determined.

 

In the meantime, Canus responded to Ricardo’s words and launched a fact-violence.

 

— Wow, we had such a hard time? But he’s still in place? It’s a mess.

 

Sophina also wept and agreed.

 

Wasn’t it time to give something because he worked so hard?

 

She swallowed bitterly.

 

Then she whispered loudly enough that only Canus could hear.

 

“Are you sure you’ve interpreted the book? You said it was for a type of treatment.”

 

— Sister, do you not trust me? I’m a genius who has learned ancient languages since I was two years old.

 

Canus also responded ferociously, sending a voice so low that only Sophina could hear it.

 

“Well… I’m sorry.” (Canus)

 

Then what’s wrong?

 

If it’s a type of treatment, shouldn’t it be effective for sick patients?

 

‘I mean, even though I gave tea made of flowers to the sick elder lion, there was no improvement.’

 

In her gloomy future, the moment she pressed her forehead, there was a voice of disapproval somewhere.

 

“I took the time to help you, but you two were the only ones talking.” (Ricardo)

 

Ricardo spoke with a voice that seemed kind at first glance.

 

“You’re trying to make me jealous.”

 

Jealous?

 

Sophina’s eyes instinctively widened at the magical word.

 

‘Maybe it’s a sign that Ricardo is opening his heart?’

 

Sophina looked deeply moved and covered her mouth with her hands.

 

It felt like my tail feathers were about to pop out.

 

Soon, with a fluttering, excited voice, she asked questions with a laugh, “Are you jealous? Do you want to be friends with me?”

 

With that fierce momentum, Ricardo faltered back and asked in denial instead.

 

“Is that how you interpret it?”

 

“Yes! Of course,” Sophina nodded brightly.

 

Then Ricardo turned the conversation around by fumbling through the plant-related books that Canus had been reading.

 

“But I don’t think you’ve ever used its fruit.”

 

Ricardo thought she had read through his mind of becoming friends with Sophina.

 

Perhaps because I had never thought of making friends with someone first, I couldn’t speak easily.

 

I was afraid that the word ‘friend’ would have the same connection as what it meant.

 

‘I have to be brave, but…’

 

Just as Ricardo had been lost in thought for a moment, Sophina answered thoughtfully.

 

“It wasn’t the season for fruit to grow. Should I try it now?”

 

It was almost time for the season for one or two fruits to grow.

 

Sophina naively tapped Ricardo on the shoulder and stood up.

 

“Then, let’s go pick some fruits!”

 

Upon hearing the proposal, Ricardo clasped Sophina’s hand. Then they leisurely walked across the garden.

 

— Brother, take me with you too…

 

The little snake, who was suddenly left alone, cried a small resentment.

 

Hearing the whining, Sophina turned back and asked Ricardo.

 

“Aren’t we supposed to bring Canus as well?” (Sophina)

 

“That serpent needs to be more independent. He’s been hanging out with my wife for too long.” (Ricardo)

 

Ricardo prevented Sophina’s seemingly little attention from being drawn to Canus.

 

Then his grip tightened a little more firmly on Sophina’s hand. 

‘What?’

 

Sophina walked after Ricardo, hesitatingly.

 

Suddenly, just the two of them headed to the flower bed in front of the Clyde tree.

 

“Come on, I will pick some fruit.”

 

They started working in earnest.

 

Some white flowers were starting to wither and bearing unripe fruits.

 

‘How can the color of the fruit be so white?’

 

A cute fruit that was round like a tomato and soft like tofu.

 

I couldn’t even imagine what it would taste like.

 

Sophina couldn’t resist her curiosity and carefully rolled the fruit into her mouth.

 

The tangy freshness and melted sweetness tickled the tip of her tongue.

 

“Huh? What? Why is it so good?”

 

Sophina picked another one and tasted it.

 

Mmmm, yum, yum, yum came out from her lips spontaneously.

 

Ricardo spoke to Sophina, who seemed happy with even the smallest things.

 

“Is it delicious?” (Ricardo)

 

“Yes, absolutely!”

 

She nodded fiercely.

 

At that affirmation, Ricardo smiled and tapped a finger on his lips.

 

What? Do you want me to feed you?

 

Sophina’s eyes widened and shoved a fruit into Ricardo’s rosy red lips.

 

Then she twirled her sky-blue hair for no reason and looked away.

 

‘I feel like a motherbird. Actually, more than that… It feels strange.’

 

This was all because Ricardo smiled so beautifully and refreshingly.

 

He was a decadent sexy male lead because of the adult 19-gold novel, but maybe it was because he was still young.

 

Sophina pondered as she looked at Ricardo, who was munching on the fruits.

 

On the other hand, Ricardo blinked his blue eyes slightly startled, and let out a small appreciation.

 

“Very well, indeed.”

 

It was the most positive admiration among the reactions I’ve seen while feeding Ricardo various delicious things.

 

‘I think this suits the taste of lions.’

 

Sophina gathered her lips round like a crucian carp and exclaimed, “Oh!”

 

At that time, Canus, who had crept up a short distance quickly, squeezed in between the two of them.

 

— It’s too much, how can you leave me all alone! But, are the fruits really delicious?

 

“Try it.”

 

Canus began to eat the fruit with his fierce fangs. Then, he gave a tasting review with an excited voice.

Canus gnawed at the fruit with his bitter fangs and began to eat it. Then, he gave a tasting review excitedly.

 

— I like it because the food is soft!

 

The answer given by the picky little snake was also successful.

 

“Yes? Because this time, something feels good.” 

 

Sophina’s expression brightened even more.

 

She quickly asks the kitchen chef to make something out of the fruit and decides to feed it to the sick beasts.

 

Sophina eagerly turned her happy circuit. She packed the fruit and ran into the house.

 

But…

 

“This isn’t it either?”

 

In the cruel reality, there was no effect.

 

Looking at the scattered fruit on the table, she lamented.

 

“It’s a banquet the day after tomorrow, but it’s ruined.”

 

Canus swallowed the fruit in one bite and responded optimistically.

 

— It’s okay. Even if you aren’t successful today, if you research for one more year, it will be solved.

 

“One year is too far, and I think four more months will do.” (Ricardo)

 

Ricardo, who had been listening, calmly judged the reality and opposed Canus’ opinion.

 

“I’d rather get cursed…”

 

Sophina sat down on the ground sullenly.

 

“I mean, I’ve already decided to present Roneache flowers on the day of the banquet.”

 

Even the party hall where the banquet was held was decorated with Roneache flowers to give off a fresh feeling of nature.

 

How could I reverse my decision in this situation?

 

‘Who wouldn’t ask whether the flowers have any medicinal properties?’

 

I was able to deal with it appropriately because it was just a card, but I was worried because the rumors had spread to some extent.

 

‘I was planning to reveal it in advance and have a blast on the day of the banquet.’

 

Of course, just purifying the purple flowers to white was a remarkable achievement.

 

The stench, which was the biggest problem, disappeared, so even the lions would no longer avoid the Roneache flower.

 

Canus, who was examining the depressed Sophina, made a very kind suggestion.

 

— But just in case, why don’t you bring the fruit to the banquet?

 

“Yes?”

 

— I think it would be good to make something like juice and serve it. Everyone said it was sweet.

 

That was a pretty good idea.

 

Even the chef, who has a keen sense of taste, praised where the fruit ingredients came from.

 

As long as things go awry, it would be good to have a lot of ways to use them elsewhere.

Now that things have gone wrong, you’d better find a lot of ways to use them elsewhere.

 

The lions who fell in love with the taste of this fruit might react favorably.

 

‘It would be okay to make various dishes with Roneache flowers and serve them.’

 

Sophina pretended not to be, and let Canus crawl.

 

“You’re smart, aren’t you?”

 

— Hehe, I’m like that.

 

At the praise, the little snake twisted its body shyly.

 

Sophina did his best during the remaining period.

 

Unfortunately, Sophina didn’t have the miracles that would come out of a dramatic novel.

 

So the banquet began.

 

‘Still, I’m satisfied because I worked so hard.’

 

Sophina didn’t know.

 

Opportunities may sometimes arise at impossible times.

 

And those who have worked hard could turn that opportunity into a miracle.
