WITH RIVER, OF ALL PEOPLE... ...HUH? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OH, UM, WELL... I NOTICED ALL THE... EXPENSIVE THINGS YOU HAVE HERE. I SUPPOSE I WAS JUST SURPRISED THAT I RECOGNIZED A LOT OF THE SAME LUXURY MAKERS I’VE SEEN AT MY FRIENDS’ PLACES... THE NAVY MUST BE GENEROUS WITH THEIR PAY. IT’S CERTAINLY NOT LOW. STILL... DO YOU THINK IT’S WISE TO SPEND SO MUCH ON THESE EXTRAVAGANT THINGS? NO MATTER HOW HIGH YOUR SALARY IS, SPENDING IT ALL ON LUXURY GOODS IS A BIT... LEAVE THAT TO ME. I CAN DO THAT MYSELF... DAB DAB THERE'S NO MIRROR HERE. AND YOU'RE DIRTY IN PLACES YOU CAN'T EVEN REACH. ...AM I REALLY THAT DIRTY? WELL, ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW WE WERE TOGETHER IN THE GARDEN. Ah, Wait...! Gently! BUT, YOU KNOW... TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, WE HAVEN’T YET, HAVE WE? ...HAVEN’T WHAT? YOU KNOW— BEEN TOGETHER IN THE GARDEN... LIKE YOU SAID. NOT FULLY. NOT... YOU KNOW... ALL THE WAY... YOU THINK I'D SATISFY MY URGES WITH A FRIGHTENED, TREMBLING MAIDEN? I WASN'T TREMBLING...! ALL DONE. All, Done. IT'S BEAUTIFUL! HOW DID YOU BRAID IT LIKE THAT? MAYBE I'LL TELL YOU NEXT TIME WE MEET. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU?! YOU DISAPPEARED RIGHT AFTER LUNCH, AND I WAS SO WORRIED! Sorry... I WAS, UH, READING A BOOK AND— I FELL ASLEEP IN THE GARDEN... AND WHY IS YOUR RIBBON SO DIRTY? It's All Grass-stained— WE'LL HAVE TO THROW THIS ONE OUT. ...MARY. I DON’T THINK WE NEED TO THROW IT OUT. I HAVE A FEELING... I'LL HAVE A USE FOR IT NEXT TIME... ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Garden of May #9: Chapter 8](/series/garden-of-may-siz3a4k4/chapter-9-ctrysf) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/garden-of-may-siz3a4k4 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
