Chapter 2
That night our protagonist Ruka cannot sleep. He was still thinking about the deal he made between Hotaru. He was pondering on his thoughts when he noticed a tap on his shoulder. He abruptly turned around to see who it is and to his surprise it was his best pal Natsume Hyuuga.
Natsume: Ruka, I've been searching for you for a while now. I've heard that something happened here.
Ruka: Oh.. Uhh.. Yeah. But don't worry it's not that big.
Natsume: Not that big? Man! Are you out of your mind to have a deal with the Ice Queen Hotaru Imai?
Do you know what she's capable of doing? Have you forgotten that she is a blackmailer?
Ruka: No, I didn't forget. But, what choice do I have? If I did not accept her offer, she would kick me out off this land immediately.
Natsume: I understand you. I know that you love this land very much. But how can you outwit her?
Ruka: Don't worry I'll think of something. Thanks for coming here.
After that Natsume went home leaving Ruka alone. Ruka went to his beloved animals and plants. He reminisced his first day at that place. And then he started singing some lullaby to the plants and animals around him.
I love you, you love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?
After he sang the song, there was a tear that came out of his eyes. Then he kneeled and prayed. Please Lord, I want to stay here. Please let me stay. Please help me. What am I going to plant so that I could outwit her? Ruka prayed intently. Then when he opened his eyes, he was shocked of what he had seen. Because instead of the plants and animals around him before it was a beautiful fountain. Then he saw someone. He saw a very masculine fairy. The fairy bowed and went closer to Ruka and then told him his name. He was Reo a nature fairy, he heard Ruka's singing voice and he was amazed by it. He felt the sincerity of his voice.
Reo: Thank you for that wonderful song. Of course, I am not only the one who liked it. Also the plants and animals also liked it so that's why I'm here. They called me so that I can help you. I believe that you have a problem?
Ruka: Yes, I have to outwit the landlady so that she can let me stay here. She wants to have the produce above the land, leaving me to have the under it. The question is what plant grows under the land?
Reo: Well do not fret my dear. In order to have your answer you have to listen to my song first.
Ruka sweat dropped and Reo started to sing a song.
Take a penny and some magic
Even though your life is tragic,
You can throw all your dreams down the well.
No more suffering, no more sighin'
No more pain and no more cryin',
When you throw all your dreams down the well
Reo: Okay! So do you have a coin there?
Ruka: H-hai!
Reo: Alright, you have to throw it on the well.
After Ruka threw the coin, the well threw something on Ruka.
Ruka: Ow! What was that?
Reo: That's the answer to your question. A plant that will grow underground is…
Ruka: This! (holding the seed).
Ruka jumped up and down. Then when turned to thank Reo, he was gone along with the well. He was back his original place. Then the next day he planted the seeds that he got from the well. He was thankful that his prayers have been answered. He can't wait for the harvesting time to come.
What will happen to them? And what's the plant that will grow underground? These questions will be answered on the next chapter, so stay tuned…..
