Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 374 What do you want from me?
The next morning, Saint Charlene went to look for Shesta and found her in the kitchen. She was busy putting some freshly prepared dishes into exquisite food boxes, as well as Salia Chestnut made with primroses. Several rabbits were jumping around on the stove and chopping board, helping her and handing her things.

After seeing Saint Xia Liya, the busy proprietress showed a happy expression: "Oh, it's Xiao Xia. Good morning, what would you like to eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry yet." Saint Xia Liya shook her head: "Actually, I have something I want to talk to you about, but are you... busy now?"

She silently glanced at the food box that was already filled to the brim. There was not much space left, but Shesta continued to stuff food into it, from freshly made, hot pies, tender pea stew, roasted chicken breasts, to easy-to-store bread and sandwiches, as well as desserts such as Saria Chestnut, caramel pudding, and vegetable and fruit salad. If you didn't know, you would have thought she was going on a picnic.

"These." Shesta noticed her gaze and explained with a smile, "These are breakfast prepared for Miss Yieta."

"Yieta?" Saint Xia Liya was stunned.

"That's right. I heard from Shemi and Metien that this island is actually Miss Yieta's private property. Thanks to her consent, we were able to move the hotel here to avoid the search of the night watchmen. So, we should thank her very much. Since Miss Yieta lives alone, her daily life, including three meals a day, will be left to us to take care of."

She finally added: "Same as you."

Well, including Saint Shalia, the group is now eating and drinking in the Fairy Deep Sleep Inn.

However, even if three meals a day are provided free of charge, the quantity is too large. Can Yieta finish it all by herself?

She threw Mr. Rabbit towards the kitchen door. The latter spun twice in the air, landed steadily, raised his short paws to salute Shesta, and then jumped to find Shelia.

During the conversation, the lady boss had already filled her lunch box completely. She took off her apron, grabbed a rabbit by its ears, and brought it to her, asking it to tell her something: "Go ask Shelia about the situation. If everything is OK, we can get ready to leave. Go ahead."

Is this feeding a person, or feeding... The shepherdess shook her head slightly, throwing away the rude thought. How could a sister dislike her sister? Even if Ieta was really fat, she would still like her. Just don't feed her like Alice, who overeats and has no self-control.

what to prepare?
Saint Xia Liya, who witnessed the whole scene, blinked her eyes, looking confused. But Xiesta did not intend to explain in detail, just turned back and said to her: "Xiao Xia, didn't you just say you had something to talk to me about? What is it? If you are not in a hurry, can you wait until I come back?"

Saint Shalia shook her head: "Don't worry——"

Before the lady boss could show an expression of "that's good", she suddenly paused and changed the subject: "Actually, it's all right now."

"..."

This sentence made the boss lady confused. She looked at Saint Xia Liya in confusion, and then Saint Xia Liya also looked at her in confusion, with clear eyes, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she just said. Because what she originally wanted to talk to Xie Sita about was to ask her to take care of Yieta more, in daily life and in all aspects, it would be best if she could feel the warmth of home. The reason was that last night, she heard from Olvera that when everyone was attending the banquet, Yieta was alone in the windmill tower room singing a ballad about missing her hometown, and she looked very lonely.

This made the shepherdess reflect on her attitude. She felt that she did not care enough about Yieta and had not fulfilled her duties as a sister, so she decided to make up for it in time so that she could be considered a qualified sister.

Unexpectedly, without her reminder, Shesta had already done so, which made the speech that Saint Shalia had prepared early come in handy, and also caused the awkward situation of the two of them staring at each other.

But soon, Saint Charlia will find that she has underestimated the extent to which the traveling fairies "care" for Iyetta.

……

Shesta set off before even having breakfast. She was holding the beautifully shaped food box in her hand, followed by the bartender Shelia, and behind Shelia was a large group of stone guards - these big, silly-looking guys were more than three meters tall after they turned back to their original form, and their rock bodies covered with moss, vines and lichens looked very safe. They carried furniture such as bedding, pillows, cabinets, bookshelves, curtains, sofas, tables and chairs, followed the two owners, and passed by the small path in front of the hotel, attracting a large group of small creatures in the forest to watch.

Among them are natives such as squirrels and rabbits, as well as magical plants such as the little sun. After the hotel moved to the sky island, the underground garden at the root of the sycamore tree was also moved to the surface. Shesta and Shelia worked together to use fairy magic to open up a field in the forest, and moved the original magical vegetables and magical herbs to the field, which was guarded and cared for by the stone guards.

However, because the infrastructure in the fields was not as complete as that in the underground gardens, and tasks such as loosening the soil, watering, and fertilizing could not be completed in a short time, the living conditions were relatively simple. As a result, many magical plants secretly ran out of the fields and found comfortable places to live in the forest.

For example, the little sun who was watching the fun with a flower pot in her arms, she sneaked out by herself, found a hillside with good trees, and dozed off in the shade of the trees, when she was suddenly woken up. She wanted to run away to avoid being caught by the boss's wife, but she couldn't help but want to watch the fun, so she tried to hide behind a few tall ferns, reducing her presence while sneaking a peek to satisfy her strong curiosity.

The deer spirits that Shesta and Madam Tree nurtured were also released into the forest, allowing them to move freely. These strange magical creatures that symbolize natural elements can coordinate the surrounding environment, make magic and elements compatible with each other, and thus improve the ecology and climate of a region. When combined with Ijeta's royal power [Great Wind], it can cover the entire island, ensuring that the natural environment on the sky island is always in the most lush and prosperous stage.

The sacred and beautiful crystal deer spirit, with its forked horns, leisurely roamed in the quiet forest covered with red and yellow leaves. When it sensed the approach of its master, it stopped and looked into the distance. Several golden-haired squirrels lined up in a neat row on its back, watching the mighty team marching towards the primrose field outside the forest, chirping as if discussing something.

Alice, who stayed up late playing games last night and didn't fall asleep until three or four in the morning, was woken up by the noise. She wanted to cover herself with the quilt and pretend she didn't hear it, but she couldn't stand it anymore. She threw back the quilt and jumped up, leaning over the window frame and glaring in the direction of the sound: "Who is it? You're disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning!"

No one paid attention to her complaint, treating it as a bite from a weeping mushroom in the bushes. However, Shesta, who was walking at the front of the team, heard this, turned around, and gave the golden-haired maid a very gentle, very kind, and absolutely non-threatening smile.

Then the golden head shrank back faster than when it stuck out.

　Thanks to the ghostwriter for the 1 yuan reward and the Bo Lisa money box boss for the 6 yuan reward. Thank you! By the way, give me some meow!
