Chapter 91
“If it’s a request from you, Milady, then of course I must help.”
“That’s wonderful. Thank you.”
Gary hurriedly took Cherry’s hand and shook it. Just then, a man approached her. It was Eden, dressed in his stiff police uniform.
“Miss Cherry, that little herb-gatherer asked me to find out if there’s anything you want. Is it your birthday, by any chance?”
“No? My birthday is in the winter.”
Upon hearing those words, Gary, Philip, and Basilio immediately burned that information into their memories. Cherry’s birthday was in the winter.
“Hmm. Then what is it? Regardless, is there nothing you want?”
“There isn’t anything in particular. Even if there were, would it even be possible to find it now that the world has ended?”
“So there is something?”
“The stars in the sky. I want a star.”
The men, who had been mentally prepared to take note of whatever she said, froze in unison.
What did she just say?
‘Th-the stars in the sky…?’
Eden also looked at her with a look of sheer absurdity.
“Here we go again. You couldn’t get those even if the world hadn’t ended.”
“That’s why I chose them. I already have so much that there’s nothing I need. Tell him that unless he’s going to pluck a star from the sky for me, a gift isn’t necessary.”
I’d be grateful enough if they just helped with the management of Happy House. Cherry added the last part very quietly to herself.
Having said her piece, she gave Eden a quick nod and headed inside the police station. Eden watched her retreating figure for a moment with a faint smirk before following her inside.
Only then did the men left behind let out gasps of admiration.
“Wow. Will I ever hear words like that again in my lifetime?”
“Probably not.”
“She really is no ordinary lady.”
Philip, Gary, and Basilio spoke one after another, all nodding in solemn agreement.
