Chapter 35: The Power Of Magic (1/2)

Lawrend fell asleep on the journey. Even though Allen transferred enough energy for him to go through a day, it didn't remove the fatigue built up inside his body.

It was already lunchtime when Aleshia woke up Lawrend. She was back to her calm expression.

”Young Master, the food is ready.”

Aleshia called out to Lawrend from outside the carriage. She was peeking directly inside at Lawrend, who was lying down on his back. Allen was sitting directly on top of his hair as he guarded him.

”Young Master!”

Aleshia increased the volume of her voice to wake up Lawrend. It ended up working as Lawrend sat up and rubbed his eyes. He looked around, still groggy.

”Hmm? What's the matter, Aleshia.”

The moment Lawrend opened his eyes, he noticed something different. He looked around, and it may have just been his imagination, but he could feel a difference. It was so faint that he's not even sure about it.

In the end, Lawrend didn't pay it any heed and focused his eyes on Aleshia.

”The food is ready.”

Aleshia reiterated to the now awakened Lawrend.

”Oh! Perfect timing! I feel hungry already.”

Lawrend exclaimed to her. After casting that beginner lightning magic spell, he could feel that his stomach was now empty.

Lawrend disembarked from the carriage and sat down on a large stone Aleshia had prepared as his seat. At the same time, Aleshia sat on another one just adjacent to him. There was a roasted wild boar served in front of them.

”Wow! Looks delicious.”

Lawrend wolfed down the wild boar while Aleshia used a kitchen knife to cut off some parts for him. A dozen minutes later, Lawrend was stuffed full. He used his hands to support him from the ground as he rested his back.

”Allen, don't wander too far.”

Lawrend couldn't help but remind Allen when he saw him bouncing farther and farther from them. Allen turned around as if understanding his words and bounced toward him.

It didn't take long for Allen to crawl beside him, and Lawrend immediately gave him a head pat.

Aleshia watched it all unfold, and she was baffled about what's happening. A slime was displaying emotions that she has never seen other slimes display before.

”*Burp*!”

Lawrend released some gases from his stomach before picking Allen up and standing up. Aleshia started cleaning up, and not long after, they were already back on the road.
