"The others have been assigned to leave, and we're still being held here, huh?" asked Astaroth.
Roxus was admiring the exotic plant bonsai of the Continent of Darkness. The tiny dark purple leaves and beautifully curved stems made Roxus smile. She saw Ye Moyu taking care of it before but didn't dare to try it because she still didn't learn much about bonsai. Roxus just looked at it intently while muttering, "Yggdrasil might be interested in this art."
"Madam," Astaroth called once more.
Astaroth's contractor, an old man holding a cane so he could walk more comfortably, approached Roxus. "So beautiful. What plant is this?" he asked in a soft voice.
"Plants that are dwarfed manually and carefully shaped," explains Roxus. "Bonsai," she continued.
"Oh, my," said the old man.
