Chapter 330 - PERVERTED INTERESTS (1/2)

Akira did not remain at the pavilion after the short introduction. Moreover, her parents did not follow her because Sayaka wanted to get started on her painting. Sayaka was a bit nervous because she had not touched a brush for a while, so she did not mind her daughter leaving.

Akira walked from the pavilion and into the garden. ​​

She did not have a special interest in flowers, but she was quite curious about the mechanisms the owner of the garden used to delay flowering. She was aware of a few methods used for managing early blooming.

However, these methods were primarily used on flowering bushes and herbs. For instance, techniques like pruning and pinching off buds were used to prevent premature flowering and ensure consistent blooming in some plants. The primary approach used for flowering trees was controlled water sprinkling.

However, the delay was short.

Of course, the ȧssumption was that Mr Blossom was not using chemicals sprays to regulate the hormone levels in the trees.

As Akira walked around the garden in deep thought, she came across a young lady sniffing in tears alone. She was squatting in an inelegant position and looked pitiful.

Akira did not want to get involved in something messy, so she decided to walk away immediately. Unfortunately, she was discovered.

”Are you rushing off to tell everyone about my pathetic state?” The girl spoke up nasally. ”No one will believe you.”

Akira looked back at her and felt that the girl was probably not right in her mind.

”With your blotchy face, I won't need to tell anyone. They will see it themselves.” She responded.

Sakuko felt embarrassed by the words and dug out some wet wipes to clean her face.

”I can see why no one likes you.” She said as she tried to make herself presentable.

”Is that so?” Akira responded nonchalantly.

”You should know that Hanae has a lot of friends. She is quite well-rooted in the social circles in Mountain Ridge. Those girls will not make life easy for you.” Sakuko said.

”I would like to see them try.” Akira's voice remained even.

”Can't you try to react a little more naturally?”

”If I were to react naturally, I would ask you why you are crying alone in a corner?”

”Isn't it obvious? I have lost the future I worked so much for. I will never be an artist.”

”Isn't that what you wanted when you challenged my aunt?”

Sakuko felt a little surprised by the words. ”Why do you say that?”

”Anyone who has ever held a brush could see how unhappy you were. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that someone taught you how to draw that landscape specifically for this occasion.” Akira exposed her.

Sakuko looked at her warily. ”How did you know?”
