“….”

Ever since I had Limon do the gardening, I had expected to see some eccentricities.

As far as using his body, he always showed great results.

Even when Limon tidied up in less than an hour what should have taken a whole day for a dozen skilled gardeners.

Even when he saw that the cross section of the branch he had cut was as smooth as glass.

That’s why Maia wasn’t surprised.

But at this moment.

She had to be silent.

After Limon’s hands, the garden changed so dramatically that it left her speechless.

I didn’t move any trees in particular or change the overall landscape.

pruning useless branches.

Get rid of some annoying decorations.

A little out of balance, etc.

All Limon did was small, small work.

But even with that little touch, the garden was surprisingly more beautiful, comfortable, and elegant than before.

To the extent that if I hadn’t seen the grooming in person, I would have mistaken it for a completely different garden.

“…what did you do?”

“What do you mean?”

“I asked how you could change the atmosphere of the garden so much with just a little grooming.”

Limon shrugged at Maia’s question.

“I wasn’t really trying to change anything. I just touched it up a little bit because I could see the part that bothered my eyes.”

“Did you see a lack in the garden?”

“Rather than lacking, there were parts that felt a little regretful.”

Seeing Limon answer calmly, Maia fell silent again.

This is Quetzalcoatl’s headquarters.

Naturally, the people in charge of this garden were top-notch gardeners, and Maia hadn’t felt the slightest lack of it until now.

But what can I do to feel regret there and even fix it?

It was something I couldn’t help but say was really amazing.

But her surprise was nothing compared to what Hermann had received.

‘…the peak of the dragon.’

Hermann was reminded of an oriental story of drawing pupils on a picture of a dragon, and the dragon really came to life and flew away into the sky.

What Limon did was similar.

It added a little bit of perfection to the garden that was decorated to perfection.

It was such a subtle difference that it was thinner than a sheet of paper.

However, for artists who reached the pinnacle, it was also a long wall that they could not overcome even if they tried for several months or even a lifetime.

As the world’s foremost sculptor, Hermann knew that fact all too well.

So he had no choice but to ask.

“…Lee, why didn’t you use that carving knife yourself?”

You could tell just by looking at the workmanship that brought perfection to this fantastic garden.

The fact that if Limon had a carving knife, he would have been able to carve the Venus de Milo without difficulty.

But why did he dare to subject himself to the test of the carving knife?

Seeing Herman ask in confusion, Limon shrugged.

“It’s not that I didn’t write it. I couldn’t write it.”

“What do you mean?”

Instead of answering, Limon took out a glass case from his bosom.

And unlike when Herman picked it up, he scratched his cheek while clearly showing the carving knife that neither deforms nor emits light.

“I don’t deserve it.”

Maybe because it was such an unexpected answer.

Hermann with a dazed expression.

“…why? Why are you not qualified?”

“Well, maybe it’s because I’m not a sculptor?”

“You mean you’re not a sculptor after making these ‘sculptures’?”

Hermann was dumbfounded as he pointed to the garden completed like a sculpture in its entirety.

But Limon shrugged.

“Didn’t I say that I only added to what was lacking? You can’t call that a piece.”

Copying the entire music made by others and fixing only the parts you don’t like is called arrangement, but not composition.

He had never done anything like sculpture before, so he had no qualifications.

Seeing Limon talking softly, Herman was stunned.

“You mean you’ve never really sculpted before?”

“okay.”

“Never once in your life?”

“Is that so?”

‘This is a garden created by someone who has never sculpted in his life?’

Hermann trembled.

Of course, gardeners and sculptors are different, and just because you can make a great garden doesn’t mean you can be good at sculpting.

But Limon wasn’t even a gardener in the first place.

Nevertheless, the sense of seeing the lacking part of the garden at a glance and the dexterity with which he easily filled it gave Hermann a certain confidence.

Even if I asked him to work as a sculptor instead of a gardener right away, he was confident that Limon would do it perfectly.

That is why he came up with an idea.

‘If it’s this kind of talent…!’

The challenge of the Platinum Carving Knife.

A debt of heart he owed to Limon.

A disease of one’s own that cannot guarantee a cure.

And above all, admiration and anticipation for his overwhelming talent, reminiscent of Salieri’s feeling when he first saw Mozart.

At the end of the mixed effect of all of that, Hermann opened his mouth without realizing it.

“Lee, do you have any plans to learn sculpting from me?”

* * *

[Princess sister, I have a question for you.]

‘What do you mean?’

[You came here to investigate our ambrosia, right?]

‘I did.’

Li Qingyu, a black-haired girl who was walking with a blue bird on her shoulder, readily agreed to the flame that had passed through her head.

[But why did you come here?]

‘That’s why I’m trying to obtain the rumored Ambrosia myself.’

Yuna-kyung blinked her eyes.

Then, after slowly looking around, he asked with a confused expression on his face.

[…in a place like this?]

A wide road without a single rubbish.

A store decorated with fancy show windows.

Even the skyscrapers that rise after rain.

Except for the languid passers-by sitting on the railings on the side of the road dozing or yawning, everything is lavishly decorated.

Avenida Paulista.

This is the highest street in Sao Paulo, which is located on a plateau.

At the same time, in Sao Paulo’s busiest street, Yuna-kyung muttered with a more shaken face.

‘No matter how I look at it, I think I came to the wrong place?’

‘Well, you’ll know when you check it out.’

Li Qingyu chuckled.

Then he spoke to a green-haired woman dressed as a thin enemy who was following him.

“Could you show me to the Barbara Department Store?”

“…Are you talking about the department store?”

“I am interested in the specialties of this place.”

“If you just tell me, I will get you anything.”

A courteous answer like Lee, who was in charge of guiding the distinguished guests.

However, Li Qingyu chuckled at Barbara, whose eyes were filled with suspicion as to what she was up to.

“No, then I won’t be able to shop. If possible, I want to see and choose for myself.”

Shopping is fun to see and choose.

Seeing Li Qingyu speak meaningfully, Barbara looked even more suspicious.

But that’s all.

Even though she doubled as surveillance, on the surface, Barbara answered politely as a guide.

“If you really want a place like that, I can guide you.”

“Yes, please take care of me.”

so after a while.

When she saw the department store she had arrived at with Barbara’s guidance, Li Qingyu honestly admired it.

‘It’s a place with quite a few guests.’

[…This isn’t quite a lot, it’s almost half an air and half a person?]

‘It seems like they’re holding a discount event, but even considering that, I think I’ve come here well.’

[That’s right, it’s a fact that stores with a lot of customers are good, except for false advertisements and crowd psychology, but… can I get in there?] Yuna-gyeong muttered nervously

.

It is also true that the appearance of a department store filled with customers from the entrance is truly a mess.

It was so crowded that it would be difficult for even the best martial arts master not to stumble, let alone stumble.

However, Li Qingyu smiled.

‘No need to worry about that.’

[yes? Why?]

‘Currently, we have a pharmacist from the Green Dragon clan as our guide.’

[…?]

When Yun Na-gyeong tilts her head at those words that she doesn’t know the meaning of.

Barbara took a step forward and opened her mouth quietly.

“Everyone get out of the way.”

it’s an ordinary word.

It’s not particularly loud.

It doesn’t even contain psionics.

It was just a voice with a hint of annoyance.

Therefore, among the hundreds of people who had gathered at the entrance, only a few people who had just left the department store and tried to escape the crowd heard the sound.

However, the aftermath caused by those few was by no means small.

“…!”

“Hey, aren’t you coming out soon…?”

“what? what’s the matter?”

A few people with their eyes wide open as if they had seen a ghost.

Because of that, the road was blocked, so dozens of people who followed them and looked behind them and then stiffened.

Hundreds, feeling something strange, look around and see Barbara, turning blue.

Barbara did not raise an eyebrow even as she watched them harden to stone with her eyes fixed on her green hair and outfit.

I just said it coldly.

“I said Vicky.”

“Ouch, it’s the green dragon clan!”

“Everyone get out of the way!”

“My feet…!”

It was right after that.

That is why the crowd of people at the entrance of the department store scattered in all directions, using a pickaxe.

After such a short fuss,

As if the crowded crowd earlier was a lie, Barbara gave a short snort in front of the empty entrance and politely spoke to Li Qingyu.

“I think you can go in now.”

“Thanks for your efforts.”

“It is an overestimation.”

Barbara humbly replied that she hadn’t done anything.

Well, it wasn’t wrong. All she did was say the same thing twice.

The results are just inconsequential.

However, unlike Yu Na-gyeong, who opened her beak, Li Qing-yu accepted the sight as if it were natural.

And while looking around the department store leisurely, I stopped in front of a fancy store.

“Would you please wait a moment?”

“…was that the specialty you were interested in?”

“Anyway, the traditional specialties of Brazil are medicine and coffee.”

Barbara took a step back and bowed her head as she was asked to, even though she looked at Li Qingyu with a smirk on her face with a questioning expression.

Leaving her behind, Li Qingyu stepped into the store.

“Welcome, guest. We will help you order. Are you going to have coffee? Or do you wish to purchase coffee beans?”

A cafe-like store with a few tables set up and a variety of coffee beans lined up on one wall.

There, Li Qingyu smiled and said to the girl dressed as a waitress who greeted him with a bright smile.

“I’m looking for medicine, not coffee beans.”

“Ah, are you looking for that one?”

“Do you have any good products?”

“Sure.”

The waitress girl answered happily.

He pointed to a display case with several vials of medicine on the opposite side of the display of coffee beans.

“From cocaine heroin cannabis to mixed blends, just tell me. We at Coffee & Drug carry all government-approved drugs.”

Yuna-kyung’s beak widened.
