CHAPTER 474: LALA’S COLORFUL WORDS

The mediators felt their hearts fluttering at how Coco got mad for their sake when the goleter shouted at them and threatened to kill them.

However, they couldn’t help, but feel bad because she looked extremely worried.

"Are you okay? Are you sure? Can you breathe properly? Do you need something to drink? Do you want me to do something? Do you want anything—" Coco bombarded them with questions and she would continue to do so if it weren’t for Alhai grasping her cheeks to make her stop.

"We’re fine." The mediator muttered, his eyebrows furrowing. "You don’t have to worry too much, okay?"

Coco’s eyes blurred with tears, her lips trembling as she placed her hands on top of Alhai’s hands on her cheeks. "But I hurt you, Heiren, Zaque, and Quizen.. I probably hurt other people, too, and I’m not just aware of them."

"We don’t care about other people." Quizen chimed in, running his adam apple to soothe the numbing pain that settled there.

"We prefer to think about the people we care about instead." Zaque said, placing his hand on Coco’s arm and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"It’s better to not think of them for now.. If you did hurt them, you would have received a word from your guild master tomorrow." Heiren added to Zaque’s statement, smiling softly to Coco.

"But.. But I hurt you.." Coco frowned deeper, her tears falling from her eyes.

"You didn’t." Alhai stated firmly, shaking his head.

As the husbands comforted the crying woman before them, the garden fairy turned away and looked at the goleter who’s watching the scene with parted lips.

"Those puny humans you threatened to kill are the husbands of your new master." Lala said, catching the monster’s attention. "You and your peers are meant to be tamed by someone like her.. You’re quite lucky that you didn’t fall to someone else’s hands."

The goleter glared at her, not struggling against his bindings anymore. "What is that supposed to mean? And what’s a fairy like you doing in a world like this? Why are you accompanying a puny human—"

Before the stone monster could finish what he was saying, a thick green vine sprouted from the table below him and wrapped around his body tightly.

"You have no right to call Coco like that." Lala said, her eyes narrowed into a scrutinizing gaze. "I chose Coco myself.. I’ll be damned to let a puny monster like you diminish her strength and ability as if you’re stronger than her."

"Mmmn?!" The goleter’s shout came out muffled, the vine that wrapped around him slowly sliding higher and restricting his movements further by covering his mouth.

"You must have felt how her mana feels like, no?" Lala asked, tilting her head. "Wasn’t it painful?"

"Mmmn! Ngh! Mmn!" The goleter started struggling and trying to lunge towards Lala, but the vines kept him in place without effort.

"This is the first time her mana leaked out.. Who would have thought that you’ll be the cause? You made her so mad, you weak beast." Lala glared, walking closer to his spot and tapped his head with her pointer finger.

"Mana isn’t supposed to be as strong as hers, but since she’s a special human.. Well, she’s stronger than anyone now, even monsters." Lala giggled, smiling widely.

"If she knew how to concentrate her mana in a specific part of her body, she would be unstoppable." The garden fairy beamed at the king beast, her face bright with a smile that reached her ears. "She could kill any kind of monster.. Take over any village, destroy any city, and take whoever she wants."

The goleter’s eyes went wide as the words the fairy dropped sank into his brain, his nonexistent heart beating fast.

"But that won’t happen." The garden fairy hummed, staring straight into the goleter’s glowing red eyes. "You know why? Because she’s too good and kind for her own good."

The goleter flinched, his body trembling within the vines’ grip as he tried to get away from Lala— the garden fairy was noticeably shorter and smaller than him, but she’s a fairy and well, fairies? They were the ones that created the world he lives in.

Just one word from her, his existence will be erased.

"She loves to be kind." Lala continued to ramble about Coco. "She gets excited about helping and buying things for others, never thinking of what she wants, but you know what? I love that about her."

Lala giggled and pressed her hands on the vines that were wrapped around the goleter’s torso. "I can whine and complain as much as I want, but she won’t give in."

The goleter doesn’t know why she forced him to stay still and listen to her ramble about the human who captured him— shouldn’t she be on his side because the humans of this world have been killing his own kin?

"She got mad at what I did last time, but she told me to stay by her side!" Lala beamed and got into a fit of quiet laughter. "I knew what I did was wrong.. It was an accident, but I wanted her to be mad at me, you know? To hear her lash out at me and to swear at me."

The goleter flinched and shook his head when Lala leaned towards him, his body shaking in fear.

"Is that so hard to do?" Lala tilted her head and grasped the monster’s cheeks to her hands. "I tried so hard to make her mad at me.. But she didn’t lash out at me like she did to you. I feel slightly envious."

The garden fairy hummed and let go of him, turning her head to look at Coco and the mediators that were sitting on the kitchen floor, consoling the woman to make her stop crying.

"She loves me and I love her.. So do anything that upsets her? I’ll make sure your life will be a living hell."
