40 General Meeting with the Locals

The sun's small amount of light shed to them inside Malapague as it blissfully gave enough smiles to the folks who terribly experienced from the extreme cool temperature.

Inside the house, its a perfect timing when Albrecht was preparing some food for his sister but he left it for a while inside the kitchen when he saw George with his droopy shoulders and disgustingly walked like a zombie.

"Hey, you slept in the cave last night? Did he not slap you? Or..."

" I was scared of her dagger so I wasn't able to properly sleep but I just lean on the door." He sat with his sullen expression.

" Haha!" Albrecht sat by his side and wrapped his arms on his shoulder.

" She told me last day that I need to plant rainbow flowers for her and grow one significant tree, and if it bears fruit, that day would be our wedding date, she said."

"Aw! that's too inhumane. That cruel girl." Albrecht is almost going to the cave when they heard some sound in the kitchen.

To Albrecht's surprise, Magee was in uniform and used her hand in eating instead of using spoon and pretended they're not around.

George grabbed his arms and they returned and sat back at the receiving area.

"Shh...don't say anything. Whatever you comment would bounce back to me. Better keep quiet if its all about us."

" Oh boy!"

" I'll start planting flowers before I take a bath and kindly give me a seedling of a fruit-bearing tree."

"Ask it to Baldur, he's good in planting trees and helped Dad in planting those flowers around. Anyway, I'm speechless, I don't know anymore." Then Albrecht put his hands over head and nodded.

"It's just a month. I'll still wait for my tree to bear a fruit, haha, bye! I'll never waste my time, I'll start farming now." Then George smirked, went out, instructed Albrecht to lock the door and he searched for Baldur who was then checking the new occupants around.

"Hey George, what's up?"

" I'll talk straight, help me find a fruit-bearing tree seedling now, I'll plant."

" Haha, why such...hmm, okay! let's select among that bears the earliest, c'mon! I'll show you the mini nursery." Baldur still turned his head on him while they're heading to the mini-nursery.

" Don't annoy me with that look, haha! Don't ask me any word relating to it, this is strictly for no interviews!"

" Ah, ha, yeah!"

"Oh here we are. These are the trees that grows healthily here, they loved the cool temperature with a little sunlight. Hmm, from the top we have lanzones, rambutan..." Baldur enumerated a list of it but George intervened him.

"Brother, the earliest...to bear fruits, lead me to it."

" Ah, yeah, but..." I'm thinking of a banana, hmm."

" How many months or year does it usually give us fruit."

" Hmm...around five to six months. I'm just confused if its really a tree." Baldur rubbed his face.

" But if its really a tree, its impressively in a shorter period." George insist.

" So will you get me some, at least 10 if its available. I'll plant them right away."

" Just wait here, I'll go and separate them first from the mother plants.
