Chapter 68: The Pink Tree (1)
"Good morning, Rasputin. What is today's breakfast?" Ulysses, who had returned from practicing in the forest, greeted Rasputin who was preparing breakfast as usual.
"Ah!" Rasputin seemed startled by Ulysses' voice, and the plate she was holding fell to the ground.
Ulysses caught the plate that was about to fall to the ground with a lightning speed, then put it on Rasputin's hand, and said with a slight complaint, "Rasputin, what's wrong with you recently? Why do you get startled by my voice so easily? Is it because of what happened several days ago?..."
"AH!" Rasputin yelled while covering Ulysses's mouth quickly, and her face flushed instantly. It's like an apple.
"Hmhm… Rasputin, you..." Ulysses, whose mouth was covered by Rasputin, desperately tried to remove Rasputin's hand, but Rasputin's hand still covered Ulysses' mouth tightly.
"Ulysses, please, don't mention what happened that day again. If Helen and Cherie know about it, I will die from embarrassment!" Rasputin whispered To Ulysses, her face was extremely red.
"Sister Rasputin, what are you doing with Big Brother? Are you playing games? If it's a game, Cherie also wants to play." Cherie, who had already sat in her seat, looked at Rasputin, who was whispering to Ulysses, with her blue eyes full of curiosity.
"Daddy? What are you doing with Sister Rasputin? It's time for the meal!" Helen also noticed the abnormality of Rasputin and Ulysses.
Seeing Helen and Cherie's puzzled eyes, Rasputin and Ulysses both felt a little embarrassed and quickly separated.
"Rasputin, don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened that day!" After Ulysses whispered to Rasputin, he sat down between Helen and Cherie and was ready to have breakfast.
"Uh, now that everyone is here, let's start breakfast! Today's breakfast is fat bread and fruits just picked from the forest." Rasputin felt relieved when she heard Ulysses' words, and soon she took out today's breakfast.
The breakfast time passed quickly as usual. But when Ulysses, who had eaten breakfast, was about to go to the beach to practice today's swordsmanship, Rasputin suddenly stopped him.
"Ul... Ulysses, are you free?"
"Yeah? Actually on this deserted island. I don't have anything to do except practice. What's wrong? Does the fence need to be repaired again? Or are you looking for me to go hunting?" Ulysses turned his head and looked at Rasputin. To him, Rasputin would only call him for these two reasons.
"Uh, no...no, I have something to tell you. Can you go to the forest with me?" Rasputin blushed and said to Ulysses.
"Can you tell me here? Why do we have to go to the forest?" Rasputin's answer made Ulysses puzzled. What was she going to tell him that she had to tell him in the forest?
"No. I just want you to listen to these words. Cherie and Helen may suddenly come over here, so we have to go to the forest." Rasputin lowered her head and began to fiddle her fingers constantly, it looked like she was in a very anxious state.
‘What can't be heard by Helen and Cherie?' Ulysses looked at Rasputin before him, confused. But he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, because he didn't think Rasputin would do anything to hurt him.
"Okay. Then let's go to the forest and talk. But you have to tell Helen and Cherie first. You need to tell them to stay in the cave obediently and don't come out. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the forest." After thinking for a while, Ulysses agreed to Rasputin's request.
"Then I'll go to Helen and Cherie right away. You can wait for me at the entrance, and I will be there soon." Hearing Ulysses' answer, Rasputin hurriedly ran to Helen and Cherie.
‘What is wrong with her? She can talk to me at any time, why is she in such a hurry?' Looking at Rasputin's hurried back, Ulysses was a little strange, but he still walked slowly towards the entrance of the forest.
In fact, the entrance of the forest was not far from the cave where Ulysses lived. Ulysses only took ten minutes to arrive. And three minutes after he arrived, Rasputin's black cloak appeared in his vision.
"Rasputin, you can tell me now, right? Helen and Cherie will not be able to hear it from the cave." Looking at Rasputin who was panting in front of his eyes, Ulysses was really curious about what she was going to say to him.
"No, the place I want to talk to you is not here, but a place in this forest. Can you come with me?" Rasputin shook her head.
"Oh, okay. Since you said you want to go inside, let's go!" Ulysses became more and more curious. What exactly was Rasputin going to tell him?
In this way, Rasputin led Ulysses to the depths of the forest until they came under a strange big tree with beautiful pink flowers.
Ulysses had never seen this kind of tree before. It was about tens of meters high and about six or seven meters thick. There were countless green vines on its body, and beautiful pink flowers bloom on those vines. However, it was a little strange that there were no other trees within tens of meters of it, only the countless green grass on the ground, just like a natural square.
And Rasputin was standing at the bottom of this big tree. A breeze blew past her short black hair gently. Her aquamarine eyes staring at Ulysses were filled with a kind of complex look that Ulysses had never seen before. Those eyes contained shyness, excitement, longing, and a trace of confusion.
"Rasputin, do you want me to see this tree? This tree is really beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful tree." Ulysses smiled and said to Rasputin.
"No, I..." Rasputin looked at Ulysses's face, speaking in a voice that was even smaller than a mosquito, and her face was getting redder.
"It is not this? Then why do you have to call me here?" Ulysses looked at Rasputin puzzled.
"..." Rasputin lowered her head, did not answer Ulysses' question. It fell silent for a while.
"U… Ulysses, in your eyes, what kind of girl am I!" Rasputin blushed and said shyly after three minutes of silence.
