Terrarium Adventure - Chapter 15

When I took all the fruit out from my pocket, Elder who was on the side quietly made a fuss.

“Why are you giving those to her? You should invest in Mesquite or me!”

“You two have already grown up.”

“I can get bigger! I can get stronger! Give it to me instead of a small child!”

What a bad personality. So greedy in front of a child.

Now I grabbed one. Can you just chew fruit to grow? Or is there any specific method? As I gave one fruit to Daisy, she accepted it with small hands. However, she was just holding it while looking at Elder.

“She is an attack type. She can grow well to inflict damage to the enemy. If the attack is weak, everyone in the party will suffer.”

“I’m stronger than her!”

Elder was grumpy while looking at Daisy who was shorter than his waist. However, while Daisy was looking at Elder, she was turning her body so that she wouldn’t lose the fruit I gave to her. My Daisy is kind but she has some temper.

“You can’t treat Daisy like that. Instead, you should feel thankful. It’s not enough just to be nice to her.”

“Why should I to such a little child?”

“You were born from a fruit which Daisy picked. It means Daily chose you personally. Without Daisy, you think you would be with a diamond-rich person like me? There is a high chance you would end up with someone who is scared to use 300 diamonds.”

Born with silver spoon chosen by Daisy. Elder kept his mouth shut. It was good since he is quiet. When he shut up, he looked more handsome.

Mesquite burst into laughter after observing such a scene. It felt like looking at a photo while laughing.

I had a flower in front and on both sides of me. It was a real flower, but also figuratively.

“However, why is Daisy an attack type? She is tiny and small.”

“Mr. Druid, should I show you my weapons?”

Daisy took out two knives from her waist and swung them. They were quite classy.

“Master Jay. You can’t judge druids by their looks.”

Mesquite explained to me in detail like a teacher.

“The root of a druid can break hard rock even if it is a small tree. Daisy was like an ordinary human when she had no master, but now she has you.”

Somehow, Daisy was overlapped with the weed coming out of the asphalt road. Daisy could rip humans apart…

“Well, it’s still a bit of a pity for me.”

“Can I pet your head?” Mesquite asked Daisy. Mesquite’s eye level was higher than Elder’s stomach so she kneeled to talk to Daisy

“I don’t care.” As Daisy responded, the solid gauntlet was sitting on Daisy’s head.

“The earthquake caused by my big root is very useful for dealing with multiple enemies. However, Daisy can’t stand my earthquake. Now I can’t use it anymore.”

It was a strong earthquake that could shake the whole ground. Elder was immune to Mesquite’s earthquakes but by looking at Daisy, there was a difference between a tree and the root of a normal flower.

Still, they looked pretty and were good-looking driards to me, and I couldn’t realize it when they compared it to the tree.

“By all means, the root is weak since it’s a young tree. It should become a strong sword after growing up. My master, Jay. Will you lift Daisy once?”

All of sudden? Sure. I held her up once before.

I gently kneeled and lifted Daisy. Unlike the beginning where she panicked, Daisy came to hug me and gave out a happy laugh.

“I will grow up and hug you!”

Oh, that’s fine. I still felt it was sweet so I was almost in tears.

“You can put her down now. She’s a small child. Now set your roots.”

Daisy looked at Mesquite and nodded her head.

“Now, Jay. Lift her again. You don’t have to overuse your strength.”

Hmm, what was the purpose? Anyway, Mesquite wouldn’t ask me stupid things. However, Daisy looked at me and started to laugh. I put strength into both of my arms trying to lift her just like before while kneeling.

“Hmm!”

Damn, I thought my shoulder was disconnected. I also thought my back was breaking apart. I couldn’t lift Daisy who was just standing on the spot. She didn’t move a single bit as if she was stuck to the ground.

I’m warning you! My body is breaking apart as I spend my time sitting down more than half the time!

I was massaging my back and Elder ticked his tongue then the white light appeared. Elder’s eyes were saying, ‘Are all humans trashy like you?’

He didn’t move his mouth but his eyes were telling me that. Call the police, there is no way out.

“Isn’t it amazing? That’s what I refer to as the root of driards.”

Then, Mesquite lifted Daisy like picking up a radish from the ground. Daisy was just dragged up. Daisy gave a pathetic face while she was lifted onto Mesquite’s waist.

“She is a small child. Make a strong root so I can’t push you off the ground. You need to make a root stem deep inside the ground. I’m telling you in advance, but I will lift you often. If you stimulate your roots often, it will become stronger. If you work hard, you can stand my earthquake for a bit.”

“Wow!”

Daisy actively nodded her head with amazement. The two people looked like the teacher and a student. Mesquite had done this for a bit…

I glanced at Elder. Somehow, Elder was frowning while looking at the two people.

“Were you picked up like that?”

“That’s correct, Jay. You knew it immediately. I raised Elder like that. The child Elder can stand my earthquake is because he has a strong root but he also trained like Daisy.”

I imagined child Elder hanging on Mesquite’s waist.

With such a body…

“Hahahaha…”

“Be quiet! Don’t laugh! There is no way I can’t stand Mesquite who has the highest power of out all the driards.”

Elder held his anger while shaking his hand with the staff. He wouldn’t dare to attack me.

He grew strong under Mesquite. He should learn Mesquite’s humble personality as well.

“I will try! I will grow up and will go back to my size!”

Daisy shouted after returning to the ground. Then she bit into the nutritious fruit.

She ate normally. Then I told her to try this as well and gave her three more. Daisy ate well. Elder looked at her while being unsatisfied as fruits disappeared inside Daisy’s mouth.

After Daisy swallowed the fruit, she gave a surprised look all of a sudden. Both Daisy’s arms were glowing. The stems and leaves coming out of Daisy’s body were moving along Daisy’s arms.

The stems and leaves covered Daisy’s fingers and soon disappeared after shining a light. Instead, there was a fine dark green leather glove made with silver strings on her hand.

Daisy looked amazed while opening her arms. Oh… was this how someone levels up? It gave me so much motivation.

“I need to buy nutrition fruits from other druids? It would be a failure to draw driard fruit.”

“Can I speak now?”

The desk clerk who was standing like an artifact inside the botanic began to speak. I mean, you literally didn’t have to stay silent. I just told you not to talk about grade rank.

“Yes, that’s correct. You can go to the market where druids gather.”

Then, he gave me a map of the market and arcade of the village which I hadn’t asked for. Anyway, it’s good. In Elder’s eyes, it is a map which is located in the department showing the store location. I already see him trying to plan his way out.

Of course, the map was because of the desk clerk’s kindness, I gave him a diamond with genuine gratitude. It’s a tip from those dwarfs. Wink.

I will do my best so that her grade rank won’t be a problem for her. Of course, my diamonds will do their best. I will show you endless support like a helicopter mom.

However, I could obtain my desired goal without visiting the market. While trying to leave the orchard with driards, some people wandering around in the area approached me.

“Oh, you have great driards. It’s a way different vibe than the driards I saw before!”

It felt like some people who are offering to join a cult but my face was full of happiness. Hmm, you know what? My driards are attractive to other people as well.

“Good driards need good training as well. To tell you about this fruit…”

“I will buy it.”

“Sorry?”

“Did you pick the nutrition fruit? I will buy all that you have. 300 diamonds for one, 700 diamonds for 2, and for more than 3; I will buy them for 400 diamonds each.”

I finally understood how idol singers felt when they were surrounded by zealous fans.

I mean, the survivor’s feeling in a zombie movie when the survivor is apart from everyone…

People who missed out on the chance and stood afar gathered. They were appealing to me by stating how many fruits they owned. Mesquite was guarding me by gently pushing people off using a shield. Oh, this is what a celebrity would feel while receiving service from a bodyguard.

“Calm down. I won’t leave until I buy all the fruits in here. I will trade you all one by one.”

However, what should I do when a large number of diamonds are involved between people? These dwarfs don’t know self-control.

I took out my phone and the other person took out something that looked similar to a cell phone. It was my first time seeing another person’s wallet. However, it was similar to a cellphone but to be exact it looked like a small tablet.

When I woke the phone up, the <Infinite Diamond> screen popped up. Then, the dwarfs began to talk endlessly.

[Master! Do you need diamonds at last?]

[Master! Hurry and take out diamonds!]

[Master! I was worried since you don’t visit often!]

So, can I take out diamonds in units of 100?

“First take the fruit. I will sell one!”

The concern was answered instantly. All of sudden, the railroad connected outside the mine had wagons said 300. Gosh… Does this service come voluntarily?
