Chapter 27 (2/2)

“What is this?”

Elisabeth looked at Jeremy’s yellow fruit with sparkling eyes.

It looked like a potato, but it smelled like a sweet potato. The surface was so full of moisture like it was throbbing and would burst when touched.

“Hainas. It’s a very delicious fruit, and it’s a snack for the common people.”

“A snack?”

“It’s probably the first time you’ve heard of it because poor common people enjoy it. But true gourmets enjoy hainas.”

Jeremy said with pride. He was so cute when he was flattered that Elisabeth decided to please him.

“It smells really good! Can I try it?”

“Of cour…”

“No.”

It was that moment Jeremy and Elisabeth’s hand, holding a hainas, were about to meet in the air. Dylan snatched the hainas.

“Dylan! What are you doing?”

“I was going to eat it!”

Undaunted by the cries of the two, Dylan smelled the hainas with a bump.

“As expected, it’s sweet. This is bad for you.”

Dylan tried to throw away the hainas.

“No!”

Elisabeth clung desperately to Dylan’s arm.

“Elisabeth, this is very unhealthy.”

“Hey, Dylan! Will eating one make her die?”

“How can I guarantee that she won’t die?”

Dylan said, looking at Jeremy with a cold face. Jeremy’s shoulders, which were proudly rising, shrank infinitely.

“What, I, I won’t die, right?”

“How can you be sure.”

“Oh, haha… You, you could die! There’s nothing impossible in the world!”

The frightened Jeremy fumbled with laughter.

Elisabeth couldn’t keep her mouth from sticking out forward. Honestly, that hainas or something, the sweet smell was too much. At first glance, it doesn’t look very healthy, but as there is a saying from faraway countries of a *ghost who dies after eating has color and charm, I wanted to die in a good way anyway.

‘That looks really delicious!’

And the important thing is, there was no fruit that kills from a single bite unless it was a poisonous plant. But if I couldn’t eat it, I might die of regret.

‘I can’t give up like this.’

Elisabeth quickly reached out, taking advantage of the confrontation between Dylan and Jeremy.

“Huh? Hey!”

The two men helplessly watched the little girl, who was smaller than them, jump up like a butterfly and snatch a hainas nimbly like a bee.

‘Nice catch!’

Elisabeth, who had taken the hainas away, only looked ahead and began to run. She felt Dylan chasing her fiercely from behind.

Realizing that she could not win at speed, Elisabeth quickly crouched behind the shrubs in the garden.

“You just try to go ahead and eat that!”

‘Bleh~.’

When Elisabeth saw the hainas in her hands, she opened her eyes wide. And then…

Wow!

She took a bite.

“Ah…..Ahh….!”

It was a heavenly taste. Everything delicious in the world was said to be bad for you, but the sweet taste came to your head and seemed to melt your whole body.

‘I can die like this.’

Elisabeth, with tears in her eyes, took another bite of hainas.

“Nyam…….”

A dark shadow hovered above Elisabeth, who could not endure and made a happy sound.

“Elisabeth.”

“Ah, ung? Nyam.”

Elisabeth, who had a mouthful of the hainas, was found by Dylan and laughed.

“Did you just laugh now?”

Dylan glared horribly, but Elisabeth was just happy.

“It’s so delicious.”

“I told you not to eat. It’s bad for you.”

“I won’t dwie~ Hehe.”

Elisabeth mumbling while munching the hainas.

“Seriously. Before, you used to not do anything I didn’t like to look good to me.”

“Umm. Nyam nyam.”

Elisabeth has become quite bold since Dylan’s ‘this oppa’. She felt a little more at ease.

More than anything else, Dylan didn’t say to piss off any more, even though he was being more comfortable than before.

“Look at this. Elisabeth is so happy.”

Jeremy, who followed late, said triumphantly. As Dylan glared like he will kill Jeremy, the main culprit, Jeremy quickly shut up.

“That’s enough. Stop eating.”

“Umm, no.”

“Give it to me.”

“I’ll stop eating if Dylan eats too.”

“I don’t eat things like that.”

“Eat it. Hurry.”

Elisabeth said, chewing the hainas hard. Once he tastes this, Dylan will surely understand Elisabeth’s heart.

“Just try it once. That’s what Elisabeth asks.”

Jeremy pointed to Elisabeth, who was holding her hands tightly with her cheeks swollen. Dylan closed his eyes when he saw the moist eyes full of anticipation.

“Ugh. Then just a little bit.”

Elisabeth smiled and handed him the hainas. Dylan frowned and ate a very small portion of the hainas.

“Hmm?”

Dylan’s face changed after tasting the fruit.
