Chapter 128 - Millets

"Hey, where'd everybody go? I…huh!! They're actually making great progress on their stacks. Maybe I doubted them."

*Cha-ching. Cha-ching. Cha-ching*

"WHO'S There? I know I am not just hearing things. Show yourself. I see your foot sticking out over…oh, nevermind. Sorry, little mousey. Run along."

"Phew"

"Could've sworn I heard a camera click? Get it together, Ruby. You're tired, you're sleepy, and you're still hungry."

"Hmmm. Coast is clear.

Now what are you up to, little lady? Making potions to entice the….*Wursshhh*...people? Where'd she get all this food, and why? Uhoh. Here she comes."

"Almost forgot one. You can't hide from me."

"Best deliver these last few quickly and woo…woo..wooo…*Sleip…..*Boom*

"Ouch!! That hurt.

Who spilled Millets all over the floor? I know this place hasn't been cleaned in a while but I for sure thought those weren't in the framework."

"FREZZE!!!"

"YAAAGHHH!!"

"I caught you now, you little liar. Also have video evidence showing you're a thief as well. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor?"

"You got it all wrong. These businesses freely and graciously gave to….Fighter?"

*Click*

"Hello, Ruby."

"What are you doing here? Look, you made me spill all my baskets. Now the food is all squished. Nice going, Jerk."

"Hey, that's no way to greet the guy who rescued you."

"Rescued me? You took me from the flames, just to throw me in the oven. I don't think that is much of a rescue."

"Fine then, but I am not the bad guy here, and I'll prove it. The whole town will know come sun up. But, as I still see some hope in you, I will go around squishing all the baskets on peoples doorsteps so no evidence can be tried against you."

"Noo!!"

"What? You want their to be evidence against you?"

"Isn't their evidence against you?"

"Wha…what evidence?"

"Me? The Gift Lady!! Hasn't your parents told you anything about my family?"

"Only the rumours. That is why your parents left. They couldn't toughen it out. Little Whimps."

"What else did they say?"

"It doesn't matter what they said. What matters now is what I say, and what I say is…."

*Beep, Beep*

"Coming through, ready for my last load. Oh boy, if Ruby were here to see me now."

"DARIUS, I'M IN HERE WITH….Where'd he go?"
