After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 458

While the day had just begun for their guests, much of the territory had been awake, a lot of whom had already been hunting outside. In fact, a lot of these hunters had already returned to sell their loot.

One of them was the new guard and half-orc Gochi, who was now in the Village Center with his team.

"I… do we sell these for the same price?" He asked, looking at the bulk of plants that were placed on the platform. He took out a couple of plants, as if unwilling to sell them for the default price.

Angelo, his teammate at this time, nodded, not sure what he was so reluctant about. "That’s what we always do, yes."

Gochi frowned, really not wanting to place the plant back on the platform. "But this is more valuable than other plants…"

Angelo blinked and mused, "Then, if you think it’s worth it, use the appraisal skill—which isn’t free by the way—and then sell it to the pharmacy."

"We can do that?"

"Sure."

Althea happened to be nearby at this time. She was not in a very bright mood because there were no good NPCs today. How many questionable women would be suggested to her, anyway?

She was walking back when she overheard this conversation. There weren’t many people in the center yet, so their conversation was particularly easy to hear.

She walked over and saw the plant. It was the guigorgon, one of the first plants she studied here, and also the main component of her hemostatic medicine.

"Hm, Angelo is right," she said, making the two flinch a bit. "My pharmacy does indeed buy this plant."

She turned to the half-orc with great interest. "You know a lot of plants?"

It wasn’t that they didn’t know people were nearby, they just didn’t think it’d be an elder. They flinched and flushed when they saw it was the beautiful Miss Althea.

"I… I tinkered a bit with plants near Hoskle. We don’t have clinics there, so…"

She nodded. As for why she didn’t know of it, it’s because it didn’t show in his profile. He did not awaken any occupation, after all. At least not yet.

As for why no information about that was included in his registered profile, it was because he wasn’t confident enough to declare it as an expertise.

However, there was interest, and even if there was minimal talent (which was something to be determined), Althea hoped to hone it anyway.

She looked at the young half-orc, who blushed a bit under her stare. "We’re compiling a book of basic information about plants," she said, "I hope you can take a look at it."

"I’m sorry Miss but I… " He paused, face completely red in shame. "I can’t read."

Oh, right.

"No problem. Find Rosalind," she said, "She will help you."

It was still an ongoing project and he still had a long way to go to master reading, but it was a step forward.

The half-orc looked at her with wide eyes. "I… really? Will learn to read?" And then learn more about plants?

"Of course. Everyone can, why not you?"

If he showed enough talent, she might even teach him more.

Gochi’s heart shook and he held back his tears. "Thank you!"

…

Back in the park.

"Oslo!" Ansel said as he approached them. He was pushing the twins in their stroller towards them. He was carrying Theo in one hand, and the baby was looking quite comfortable there.

The big children continued to play where they were, being adorable.

Oslo couldn’t help but look at him in amusement. They actually just met yesterday, but he couldn’t help himself. "I see you’ve fathered a lot of children."

The two gorgeous men cackled at the joke, and to the eyes of many girls camping around and watching them aptly—they were downright sparkling.

A lot of them happened to be ’shippers’ of the Sunset Pair, and seeing them together again made them so very happy.

Golden god has finally returned (bringing more with him!) and their longing to see this pair of eye candies would finally be sated!

Would they hug? Would they kiss?

The two halves of a pair were unaware of the fantasies that ran about them, proceeding to just introduce their families to the other.

"These are my siblings, Olga, Otto, and Obi," he said, before pointing at the blonde playing with the other children. "That’s my only nephew so far."

Ansel greeted the adults and proceeded on introducing ’his’ own children.

"That is Maya and Horus, as well as their friend Mimi, one of our lawyer’s daughter," he said, since they were looking at the children anyway, before turning to the ones he was holding. "This is Theo and this is my niece and nephew."

Olga’s eyes hadn’t left the children since they approached. Her eyes stayed especially longer on cute babies in the stroller.

Then, as if feeling her stare, their eyes met hers and they smiled, and Olga felt her heart was hit.

Gah! Too cute!

Oslo saw his sister’s fascination and wondered if she would finally agree to get married. He quite liked kids as long as they weren’t his responsibility.

It was why he really liked Honda and he assumed he’d like his other nephews and nieces would be adorable as well.

(He was wrong, but that was a story for much later.)

Speaking of nephews, he turned his head in a direction to watch Honda, who was now blowing bubbles and giggling with the older children.

On the children’s side, innocent meet-cutes really were happening. "This is nice. Are these bubbles?" Honda asked his new friends. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
