Pursiut of Diligence Chapter Two: Tea Delivery

It has been a week since Chester helped in the Heavenly Embassy planting Ambrosia Flowers with Doves help. Primrose told him to come back in a week to see if there was anything else Chester could help with. So today Chester decided to go back for that.

When Chester entered the heavenly Embassy, he decided to take a look at the seeds he planted last week, before searching for Primrose. He entered the Greenhouse and saw that the seeds had already sprouted and became tiny plants. Chester was fascinated how fast these Ambrosia plants grew! He never cared for planting flowers before and this was a whole new experience. After looking at the plants for a while, Chesters thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

“Are you done staring?” Primrose asked with a raised eyebrow. Chester flinched and looked up, then relaxed when he saw the Cherubun.

“Oh uhm..yes! I just never planted something and it fascinated me how the little seeds already became tiny plants!” he smiled genuinely.

“How cute.” Primrose said, obviously not really meaning it. Chester cleared his throat.

“So what could I do today to help here~?” Chester asked, still smiling friendly.

“You do know Dove, right? “ primrose asked.

“Yes of course~!" They're my friend! We-”

“Thats Splendid. "Primrose interrupted him. “Your task today is simple, You need to deliver this crate of tea leaves to Dove…who prefers to live down there with your kind rather than up here where they can get Tea leaves right away.” Primrose mumbled the last part a little annoyed.

“Why does Dove need tea leaves from here? We have tea too! I think at least…” Chester said.

“Well because they prefer heavenly tea I suppose! Which I highly understand, but that's none of my business, ask them if you want a more detailed answer.” Primrose said, way more annoyed than before. Chester decided not to annoy Primrose further.

“Okay! So where is the crate I should deliver?“

“Follow me.” Primrose said and walked into a Storage room, followed by Chester. Primrose checked a few of the delivery stickers on multiple crates and then handed Chester one of them. Luckily enough Chester was in his Doll form, Otherwise the crate would have probably been too big to carry.

“This one.” Primrose said. Chester Smiled and nodded.

“Okay that is simple enough, I can do it!” Primrose just nodded but looked pleased before walking away, to do whatever Primrose does here, which Chester didn't really know yet.

When Primrose was gone, Chester left the Heavenly Embassy too. Doves and Jackals house wasn’t far away, once he was back down in Burrowgatory and the crate wasn’t very heavy so Chester didn't take long to get to Dove. Once he arrived at their house, he rang the bell and waited. Dove opened the Door and smiled when they saw Chester.

“Chester~!” They cheered.

“Tea Delivery foooor Dove?” Chester said jokingly like a delivery man and laughed.

“Oh my Tea! Thank you so much Chester~!” Dove purred and took the crate.

“No problem~” Chester said, smiling warmly.

“Ah I wanted to ask why you prefer this tea over the stuff we have down here?” Chester added, curiously.

“Oh! Well it gives me a feel of Home if that makes sense …It’s very nostalgic.” Dove said with a bitter smile.

“I am sorry…I didn't want to make you sad.” Chester apologized with big puppy eyes.

“Oh don't worry about it! I am very happy here and way more happy than I would be ‘above’.” they now smiled truthfully. Chester smiled too and hugged Dove.

“Do you want to come in for a fresh cup of tea~?” Dove asked smiling.

“Sure! Thank You~” Chester said and followed Dove into the house.

“Is Primrose nice to you?” Dove asked while setting up a kettle of water.

“Oh well…He is okay I guess, he seems to get easily annoyed though.” Chester said and Dove laughed.

“Yes that's true~ But he isn’t that bad in reality, really.” they said warmly and Chester nodded. After a while the tea was ready and Dove set the two cups on the table. “Enjoy!” they said. Chester carefully sipped the tea.

“This is really good!” he said, almost surprised. “Part of me thought I’ll go up in flames when drinking heavenly tea.” he said laughing.

Chester and Dove talked and drank tea for almost an hour when Chester decided to leave for today.

“Okay Dove, thank you for everything but I’ll need to go now~ see you!” he said and hugged Dove.

“See you! “ Dove said and waved Chester goodbye.

Chester needed to tell Primrose that he had delivered the crate so he went back to the Heavenly Embassy. On his way he thought about how angry Primrose must be, because Chester took so long. Chester let out a sigh when entering the Embassy.

“There you are!” Primrose greeted him.

“Was delivering a crate too hard for you after all?” he added, angrily.

“Oh no it wasn't, I just drank a cup of tea with Dover after giving them the crate.” Chester tried to stay friendly. Primrose calmed down and took a deep breath.

“Well okay…good. I thought you might have ran off with the leaves.” he said.

“What? No, I would never steal Doves stuff, really.” Chester said truthfully. Primrose nodded and even smiled a little.

“Okay, then come back next week for your next task, yes?” he asked.

“Yea sure~ I started this, I am going to finish this!” Chester said determined. “See you next week then~” he added and smiled at Primrose.

“See you.” He simply said and walked away.

Chester left the Heavenly Embassy for today and decided to get a few Mochi for his Imps before going home. He went to Dans Dango and bought a few nice ones, which he knew his Imps loved and then finally arrived at home. “I am back~” Chester said upon opening the Door and his Imps stormed at him. Chester laughed. “I know you guys missed me. I got you something~” Chester purred and fed his imps the Mochi. After that he went to bed and let out a relaxed sigh. He helped the Embassy and drank some tea with Dove, It was a great day.
