ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SHEET 3.13: NEXT OPPORTUNITY

A slightly cold wind hit the upper part of my body, with a warm sensation on the lower part giving the opposite reaction.

It brought me to my senses and opened my eyes, what appeared there was a yellowish-red sky, filled with clouds that reflected the color quite well..

"Oh, he's finally awake. Grasshopper, bring some honey."

"Ah, fine!!"

I heard a voice, belonging to Beida and Master. Rotate the body and lift it, looking the other way. Just as I expected, the Master with his big tiger form was behind me.

This tiger gave its black tail as a cushion to my body. Then there was something sparkling on the lining of Master's mouth and he immediately wiped it with his tongue. It looks good and gives off a sweet aroma.

On the other hand, I saw a grasshopper who walked away and seemed to pick up something, then the grasshopper walked back towards me with a small jug on all four hands.

The sweet aroma spread even more as Beida approached me.

"Thank God you woke up before the sky became darker. The atmosphere is very suitable to drink it at this time so I really hope you can enjoy it."

Beida stopped in front of me and brought the four small jugs closer to her hand, I took one of them and opened the lid.

There was a golden liquid with a seductive sweet scent surrounding it. Looking a little closer, there also seemed to be a golden particle of light coming out of the liquid. Rather than delicious, it looks more beautiful.

"This ... Don't-don't ... Did we get it?"

I turned my gaze from the liquid inside the jug to Beida, the grasshopper immediately nodded and I looked at Master, who returned my gaze with a snort.

Beida held my hand, then raised her voice gently.

"That's right, we've got it. What is on your hands right now is Huflu honey. Mr. Leore took it a moment ago after forcibly seizing it from Mr. Hjorn."

"Master did it? Ah right, I remembered it a bit before falling unconscious. Forced capture of it ... Did Master fight with that white bear? Then the Master won, right?"

I walked closer to Master and rubbed my forehead against his extremely soft black feathers. The master immediately put me away by pushing me using his nose.

"Of course I won it, right? Where might I lose to a bear that can't even detect if he's being followed. This is a reasonable result, no need to be too happy with that amateur base."

I slightly looked in the other direction, where a tail moved slowly. It can't be hidden, can it? It makes it a little difficult to hold a smile.

"Huh? What's with that expression on your face? Are you mocking me?"

"No, it's nothing. Putting that aside, was the honey really only four of these little jugs? Since many great creatures are looking for it, I think it will be much larger in size and much more in content as well."

I don't think if this much honey would satisfy all of them, what portion of it was indeed from the beginning already divided into ten parts, is it because there is a total of ten rounds of quest to obtain this Huflu honey?

I thought of several possibilities for it but all of them immediately disappeared the moment Beida opened her foam-filled mouth.

"Ah no, for many of its own one hive Huflu will produce a hundred liters of honey if all can be absorbed from the hive well. I've done it before."

"Hundred liters? Then what are these four little jugs? Where are the other ninety liters?"

"Well, about that ..."

Beida looked towards the Master. At the same time, the Master turned his face the other way, rubbing his lips that still had a few sparkles left without saying anything.

So apparently, the other ninety liters have gone into the stomach of a cat, huh?

What can I do then. I won't be able to eat it all by myself, either. Although I am also still a little surprised if Master has eaten that much while I am unconscious.

Maybe I should make him hold back a little.

I took one more jug from Beida's hand but the grasshopper seemed to start to get a little confused and approached one step towards me and brought the other jug closer to her in his hand.

"Ah no, I've taken two jugs before so for these four jugs you can bring them. I just need a portion for my best friend who has given me information."

"Friend, huh? Then I will also give him two jugs of mine as a form of thanks. We wouldn't have gotten any of this anyway if your friend hadn't given me that valuable information."

I tried to push Beida who was carrying two jugs of honey but she still didn't seem to give up.

"No, you don't have to bother. I had brought him a serving of honey so I thought that was enough. You don't have to give the portions you have either, Mr. Aciel."

We pushed the two jugs against each other without trying to hold them. This long time feels a little annoying.

This grasshopper looks like a submissive but he's pretty stubborn too. What can I do to convince her, huh? Ah right, maybe I can try this way.

I gave a little strength to my hand and pushed back the two jugs on Beida, the grasshopper was a little surprised as I did so because it pushed him a few steps back but I immediately put two hands on his shoulders and looked directly at his eyes.

"Beida, you can take him. Four jugs are too much for me anyway. I'll just bring two jugs."

Beida looked around and looked the other way and found it quite difficult. But he immediately returned to look me in the eye with some hesitation.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, you don't have to ask her repeatedly because it sucks."

I answered briefly, making the praying mantis in front of me breathe in calmly and slightly bow its head to me.

"Then I will gladly accept it. Thank you very much, Mr. Aciel. Not only have you reached out to me, but you've given me all this, I'm so grateful for all that."

I've thought about this before but this grasshopper is indeed very stiff. Well, even though I don't mind that much anyway.

"You don't have to think too much about it, after all we get it by cooperation. You've given me information and I'm just giving you the power to use it. Our position is equal here as partners."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Though I already said that our position was equal but he still lowered his head like that. Well let it be, it doesn't mean he can just absorb it anyway.

"OK, since everything is done then I will try this honey. It's hard enough to get it so I hope it'll be worth the effort we've put in."

"You don't have to worry about that, because the taste will definitely be satisfying."

"I'm glad to hear it ... Hm? Master, what's with that look? Master has eaten a lot, right? I won't share it with you, try to hold back."

"Hmm, who saw you? I'm tired of that honey anyway. You can eat everything without worrying about me."

"Yes, I will. Beida, you can also open your jug. We'll eat it together while we watch the sunset. Let's sit on that grassy plain."

"All right!!'

That way, Huflu's search was finally over. Closing the curtains as we watched the sunset on the top of the mountain together while enjoying the best honey I have ever eaten.

Even so, to me it feels a little too sweet. Is it safe for teeth? It was so sweet that I had to worry about it.

But it's not wrong if it feels really great, maybe I'll do it again if Huflu's search is held again next.

Next, huh? How old was I when it happened?
