Chapter 28: The Name of the Flower
"How's it going? Can you do it?" Illya asked with concern.
"Although I can't guarantee that I can recognize all the flowers, I will definitely try my best to help you."
"Thank you, Ahao." Ilia bowed slightly to him.
"No, no, no, I'm just completing the task. Okay, Ms. Illya, let's take it slow. First of all, you may want to tell me which flowers you don't know or are not sure about."
Looking at the whole courtyard, Ah Hao also felt that he didn't know where to start. No wonder this task would require flower experts or people who can detect factions.
Illya turned sideways and pointed to one of the white flowers, "This is jasmine, right?"
"Yes, the smell of jasmine is very obvious." Ahao's angle limit prevented him from taking a closer look, but he didn't even need to look, he could tell it with his nose.
Illya glanced at him in surprise, then stood up and continued walking deeper into the garden, followed by Ahao.
As Ilia walked, she pointed out the flowers she knew to Ahao.
"To be honest, I recognize common flowers such as lilies, roses, lavender, tulips, and sunflowers. Other than that, I basically don't recognize them."
As she spoke, she pointed to a cluster of white flowers. The complex petals looked extremely delicate. "For example, this one, I don't know what it is?"
"This is a gardenia."
"What is this triangular flower?" "Of course it's a bougainvillea."
"Where's this little pink flower? I've always wanted to know what it's called." "Primrose."
"This purple one?" "Iris."
"Ah! Ahao, you are so awesome! I feel like I am saved!"
Seeing that Ahao could point out all the flowers she didn't recognize, Illya showed an innocent and happy smile.
Ahao also followed her smile and giggled.
...
For a whole afternoon, Ahao followed Ilia in her home, walking around while leading her to identify flowers.
According to Illya, the stranger and unfamiliar the flowers are to her, the more they bloom in inexplicable places in the house.
Most of the flowers she had roughly guessed were blooming in the garden.
Therefore, Ahao and Ilia walked all over the house, looking for any missing flowers.
Ahao made a mistake when he encountered a bouquet of flowers with gradient colors of red, yellow and white.
"Sorry, Illya, I don't know this."
Illya waved her hand, "It's okay, Mr. Ahao, no one can guarantee that they know all the knowledge, right?"
"Yes, but we can collect these unknown flowers first, and I will check the information later and tell you the answer."
Ahao thought of Agadi's library, and he felt that there should be the flower information he wanted in there.
"No problem!" As she said this, Illya stood up on her tiptoes and pulled out the entire flower that was blooming on the edge of the window.
Ah Hao took the flowers and put them into his breast pocket.
Illya smiled secretly when she saw him doing this.
During the subsequent identification process, there were more and more flowers Ahao didn't recognize, and he couldn't even fit them in his pockets.
Illya found a bamboo basket and stuffed all the unknown flowers into it.
Finally, the first house patrol was over, and Ahao felt that he had almost talked about all the flowers he had known in his life.
If he hadn't worked hard on the flowers for a long time for the purpose of developing perfume, I'm afraid there would have been several more baskets of unknown flowers.
"Huh, let's take a rest."
"Um."
Ahao also felt quite tired.
The two returned to the table in the garden.
Pulling off the lotus flower that was still blooming on the table, Illya brought the teapot and made a cup of flower tea for both of them.
Seeing the lotus thrown on the garden ground, Ahao asked a question he had been wondering for a long time.
"Ms. Illya, I have a question. These flowers in your door, won't they disappear?"
"Disappear? That won't happen, but it will wither. Unless they happen to grow in suitable soil, these flowers will slowly wither in a few days."
Ah Hao was quite surprised.
The doors he has seen so far, like cousin Wind's wind, Mrs. Northam's voice, and even his smell, can be said to be "intangible" things.
But Illya's flowers are obviously tangible, and can even be said to be alive.
How can these appear in one's "door"?
If there are plants, are there also animals?
Ah Hao felt that the secret of the door was deeper than he thought.
If possible, next time he goes to the Arcane Law Association, he needs to supplement some knowledge in this area.
Just like the classification of those schools, he still doesn't understand them very well.
After suppressing his thoughts, Ahao asked another question.
"Illya, will your flowers bear fruit?"
Illya tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "No. To put it this way, I have never seen fruit tree flowers in my door. If I could see apples, pears and other flowers
, maybe they will bear fruit.”
Ahao nodded. He felt that it was getting late, so he said: "Ms. Ilia, we may not be able to finish it today. I'm sorry. I will check some information tomorrow, and then we will continue to identify these
An unknown flower."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I've been waiting for so many days." Ilia waved her hand quickly and said.
Then she closed her eyes. After a while, she opened her eyes in surprise and said to Ahao: "It works! I feel like I can suppress those flowers that pop up more easily now! The names of those flowers that you told me before
All the flowers are no longer against me!"
Ahao said happily: "That's good." He felt sincerely happy that he could help Ilia.
At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart that if he knew the name of the flower, the flower would no longer resist Illya?
He felt that there seemed to be some wonderful truth in it, but he couldn't figure out what it was yet.
"In this case, let's get this one first today, and I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute, Mr. House!" Illya called Ahao, and then ran up to the room on the second floor.
Then she took out a bulging envelope.
"Thank you very much for your help. Here is a small thank you gift from me. Please accept it."
After receiving the envelope, Ahao felt that there was at least several thousand Canadian dollars in it!
He originally expected to be satisfied with earning 500 Canadian dollars on this trip, so he thought it would be a relatively easy task.
"No, no, no, this is too much! Besides, I haven't completely completed the task yet." Ahao wanted to hand the envelope back again.
"No~" Illya shook her finger, "According to the rules of the Arcanist Master, the mission can be considered over here. It does not have to be completed perfectly to complete the mission."
Illya handed the envelope back again. "As for these, you deserve it! Thank you for your help to me. If it's too much, then it will be regarded as the errand fee for asking you to come again tomorrow!"
Saying that, Illya winked at Ahao playfully.
"Okay, if that's the case, I'll accept it. I will definitely come to you again tomorrow, Illya."
"Well, by the way, have you brought the association's task paper? Let me sign it so you can hand in the task first."
"May I?"
"It's okay. Didn't I say that the mission is complete?"
After signing the task paper, Illya sent Ah Hao to the door.
"Then that's it for today~Thank you, Mr. Ahao."
"Well, goodbye, Illya!"
