Chapter 41
Chapter 41 – Papa, please wait a moment
“Darn Green Beans! How could you reveal my secret! I will not forgive you!” The crow angrily roared at that green parrot .
“You are not allowed to call me Green Beans!” The parrot was unhappy, and pointed at the location below the cage, “And, your clothes had dropped . ”
The crow looked down and saw a leaf gently drifting downwards .
“Aiya!” Its eyes immediately widen in surprise, and use its featherless wings to cover its body, “Please, can you help me pick up my clothes?”
“Hehehe… . ” Amy laughed at this sight . She picked up at the leaf and smiled, “Charcoal Black, right now your clothes are in my hands . If you were to be obedient in future, I will return it to you . If not, I will take it away . ”
“The King… The King… . . ” Charcoal Black looked at Amy in dismay . Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and it shivered . It stares at the leaf in Amy’s hand and nodded, “Will be obedient!”
“All right, then you have to keep your word . ” Amy happily nodded her head . She tiptoed and wanted to return the leaf . But the birdcage is hung at a tall place and she could not reach it . Amy was flustered .
“Let me help . ” Michael carried Amy up, and hold her so that she could see the birdcage .
“Papa, you are so sweet . ” Amy happily kissed Michael on his cheeks, and then placed the leaf into the cage . She smiled and said, “Here you go, stupid Charcoal Black!”
“The King accepts your kind gesture . ” Charcoal Black use its beak to pick up the tree leaf, and use it to cover its body .
“Goodbye, Charcoal Black and Green Beans!” Amy got down from Michael’s hands, and waved her hands as the father and daughter pair walked on .
“Goodbye, next time remember to call me Sunny . ” Green Beans called out .
“Oh… . She is quite adorable . Then I, the king, will accept her request . ” Charcoal Black looks at the figure of Amy as she walked further and further away, and with difficulty, it remarked .
After leaving the potions shop, Michael held Amy’s hands as they walked towards the Arden Plaza mid-section . The round Arden plaza occupies an extremely wide area . In addition to a large round open space in the center, other places are divided into pieces of carvings or gardens with various ethnic characteristics .
It is said that this Arden plaza area is in the middle of the City of Sin, and also in the center of the world .
The further they walked, the livelier the Arden plaza was . A little demon child ran pass them, with a fire on his head, and giggling as he ran past . The fire did not seem to affect him at all . He must be a fire type demon .
Behind him, another bigger demon child was chasing after it – on its wings . Behind these two demon children are two dwarven children that were chasing after them with a small hammer .
The children looked like they were having fun as they merrily ran around in a game of tag .
In the City of Sin, if you let your children out to play, the parents will find it hard to imagine what kind of playmates your children will end up with . There are all kinds of races living in harmony here .
As these children passed by Michael and Amy, they slowed down and looked at Amy .
Even time they do that, Michael would put on a fierce look, and use his body to block their sight .
This is his daughter! How could he let these rowdy boys target her?
On the other hand, Amy was very happy . Today there are so many little children looking at her with eyes filled with envy . This is the first time that this had happened .
“Papa, I want a hairstyle like hers . Help me tie it . ” Michael and Amy were resting on a bench in the park, when a 5-6 years old child cried out . The girl had a bun hairstyle and was shaking the hands of a 30+ years old muscular human .
“This… Yaya, you look very pretty right now . ” That man took one look at Amy’s braids and immediately his face turned pale . How could a burly adventure like him create a braid for a girl? Right now, he had a hard time making a bun for his daughter already .
At the same time, he was jealous of Michael . He thought that Michael must have a wife that knows how to tie their daughter’s hair . His wife dumped him with their daughter, and continued to gamble on by herself .
“But this bun is so ugly . I also want a braid . ” The young lady touched her bun in distress . She was filled with envy for Amy as she cried, “I want something like this! I want something like this!” Then she burst out crying .
“Yaya, be a good girl . Later I buy something tasty and some toys for you . ” The burly man helped to wipe away the tears of his daughter, and looked at Michael with a look of grievance .
Michael pity the man who was crying to console the wailing child . Luckily, he did not allow Amy to wear the ugly bun he had designed yesterday .
The looks of envy and jealousy somehow made him feel a bit proud of himself . A man that knows how to style his daughter hair nicely is indeed impressive . He held Amy’s hands as he called out, “Let’s go home . ”
“Papa, wait a minute . ” Amy walked towards the other girl, and help to dry her tears .
“Oh, Amy is really filled with love and empathy . ” Michael was pleased at her actions .
The man also heaved a sigh of relief . If this girl could help to stop his daughter from crying, it would be great .
“Do not cry, anymore . Only my Papa knows how to make this hair-style . Even if you cry louder, your Papa could not make it for you . ” Amy withdrew her hands, and earnestly tried to explain to that girl .
The girl was about to stop crying as she looked at Amy in curiosity . When she heard Amy’s words, she looked at her father, then looked at Michael, and then wahhhh… . . she wailed even louder .
“This… . . she really … . . ” Michael widened his eyes in surprise . As expected, his daughter is really unique . He looked at the guy who was as dumbfounded as he was, and immediately grabbed Amy hands, uttered a “Sorry” and they left before this guy could recover his wits .
On the way home, Michael noticed that there is a roadside vendor selling sweet buns . He had a large open oven, and a large stack of dough . From time to time, he would grab a dough, flatten it, and place it into the oven . After a short while, it would be ready for consumption .
The business is really good . There is a long queue of customers, and most of the customers are little children . In their hands is a copper coin or two . They were looking at the pancakes as they queue up . The children without any money would squat at the roadside and watch .
This is simple and easy to make, and each day, they could sell 1,000+ pancakes . Although this is cheap, the cost is also low . Each month, they could make 30,000 copper coins .
Michael suddenly recalled that when Michael McGonagall used to come out to find Amy, she was often squatting at a side like all the other children without any money, and look on at the pancakes .
His grip on Amy’s hand tightened, and he smiled, “Let’s go home . Tomorrow morning I will make a pancake that is 100 times tastier than this . ”
“En, En, the food that Papa made is the best . ” Amy nodded her head and obediently followed Michael home .
