Start By Becoming A Mangaka 343 Rare Plan

"Onodera," Yuuki said.

"What are you doing here?" Onodera asked and she looked at the mountain cakes on their hands. She blinked her eyes and said, "Hmm, thank you very much." She could only utter those words when she saw a lot of cakes on their hands and she saw there were no cakes on the display.

"No problem," Yuuki nodded and asked her in a low voice, "How is Raku?"

Onodera blushed, "W - what are you saying?"

Yuuki smiled, "Well, good luck, I will support you."

Onodera looked at him with a surprised expression, "Is that okay? He has a Chitoge already right?"

Yuuki nodded and said, "It is okay, don't think too much or else you will miss it."

'Miss it, huh?' Onodera knew she had to move fast or else she would miss her love.

"Then I will go back, bye, Nanako, Onodera," Yuuki said and waved his hand.

"Bye!" Kuina said.

"We're going to come back," Makoto said.

Nanako and Onodera looked at their backs and waved their hands.

Onodera looked at her mom and asked, "Mom, why is he calling you, your first name?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask?" Nanako asked.

Onodera looked at her with a complex expression, "You're not cheating on dad, is it?"

Nanako twitched her lips and pulled her daughter's cheek, "What the h.e.l.l are you saying!!!!"

"M - mom... It is hurt!!!!" Onodera said.

Yuuki, Kuina, and Makoto were walking together until Makoto stopped.

"What's wrong, Makoto?" Yuuki asked.

"This smell..." Makoto started to walk toward the lawn.

"Wait! Wait!" Yuuki stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Makoto asked.

"That's my question! What's wrong? Why are you entering this lawn?" Yuuki asked.

Kuina looked at her with a curious expression.

"Ah, I just found a little present for you," Makoto said.

"Present?" Yuuki and Kuina looked at her with a curious expression.

"I didn't bring anything when I moved into your home and I found something nice near here," Makoto said.

"You don't have to do that, you know," Yuuki didn't really care about the present.

"No! I want to! I have lived in your home for a while and this is a perfect gift for you! This is as a sign of my gratefulness toward you," Makoto said and added, "Anyway, could you please wait for a bit?" She started to walk toward the lawn.

Yuuki and Kuina were curious and decided to follow them, "We will follow you."

"Sure," Makoto said and added, "This is a rare plant, I am sure you will be very surprised."

"Plant?" Yuuki asked.

Makoto nodded, "Yes, a plant, let's go!"

Rustle! Rustle! Crack! Crack! Thump!

Three of them walked while trampling the gra.s.s and bushes.

Yuuki and Kuina became even more curious about what kind of plant that made her enter this lawn.

The gra.s.s was very tall and no one had ever walked into this place in a few years.

"What is in there?" Kuina asked with an excited expression. She thought she had become an adventurer who would seek a treasure in this place.

"Please, be patient, this plant is really amazing," Makoto said.

Yuuki was also curious and followed her while looking around. He knew there was something on the ground that absorbed most of the nutrition around this place. He could see it as some kind of strange plant but he wasn't sure of it since he didn't have that knowledge.

"The acrid smell's getting stronger," Makoto said with a smile and added, "This must be close."

Yuuki and Kuina also sniffed and found out that there was an acrid smell in this place. Both of them had a strange expression on their faces since Makoto took them here to find this unpleasant smell plant.

They walked for a whila and they found it. They found a white plant with a single big leaf on the top of it.

"It looks like a radish," Yuuki said and he checked the ground with his magic. He twitched his lips when he saw it since it looked very strange inside.

"Hmmm," Kuina was also curious.

Yuuki didn't really mind having Kuina know about the existence of this thing since she was pretty much an airhead and thinking like a child.

"I knew it'd be here!" Makoto said and looked at both of them, "I am going to pull it out now, so please plug your ears!"

Yuuki and Kuina nodded and plugged their ears. He looked at Kuina and felt this girl was really gullible. She didn't even doubt Makoto and followed her instruction to plug her ears. He started to worry about her future. He was afraid some bad man would deceive her to get her pants.

(You're the only bad guy here!)

Makoto rolled her sleeves and looked very spirited, "All right!" She placed her hand on the plant's stalk and started to pull it.

"Hnnnnn!!!" Makoto used most of her power to pull this plant. She had wanted to give him a gift and this was the best gift she could think of.

Yuuki and Kuina looked at her who was trying hard to pull this plant.

"Let me help!" Kuina said and stopped to plug her ears.

Yuuki was startled and closed her ears with his hands, "Wait!!"

Makoto succeeded in pulling the plant and it started to scream.

That's right, the plant screams really hard.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The scream was really hard and could be heard around the area.

Yuuki twitched his lips looking at this strange plant which had both hands and feet around its body. This plant also had a strange black spot that made it look like this plant had eyes and mouth.

Kuina was amazed looking at this plant which could scream really hard.

The scream didn't last long, only a few seconds, and it stopped.

"Fiuh, I got it, hee hee," Makoto said with a satisfied smile.

Yuuki definitely didn't want to bring this plant to his home.

"Waaaahhhh, what is this, Makoto?" Kuina looked at this plant curiously. She had never had this kind of plant before.

"Hee hee, this is a rare plant, it's a mandrake," Makoto said with a smile and added, "We're really lucky to have found it here, we were lucky that we didn't die when I pulled it out."

Yuuki wasn't sure how to react to her words but Kuina ignored it and kept looking at this plant with admiration.

"So this is Mandrake..." Kuina didn't move her gaze away.

"It's quite poisonous, but if you detox it properly, it can become an all-purpose medicine, so it's super useful!" Makoto explained and gave Mandrake to him, "You can have it!!" Her smile was really honest but the thing on his hands made this situation strange.

Yuuki sighed and took the Mandrake, "Thank you, Makoto, I am very happy with your gift..."

"Hee hee," Makoto smiled happily.

"But I need to reprimand you, don't give a people a poison plant!! Also, don't even think to give someone a Mandrake in the future..." Yuuki started to lecture her. He was worried about her future if this continued.

Makoto started to reflect on her actions until someone pulled her sleeve, "Hmm, what's wrong, Kuina?"

"Is it good?" Kuina asked with drool on her mouth.

Yuuki twitched his lips and needed to reprimand both girls right now!
