Chapter 168: Shopping With The Team (1/2)

Lawrend raised his hands at chest level and said to her, ”I'm not, I'm not. I will ask them properly.”

”...Really?” Grape asked him in doubt.

”Of course, I wouldn't help Feli Lana and tell it to you if I'm just gonna kidnap them,” Lawrend replied.

”You're right…”

Grape nodded her head. Though, there were still traces of doubt in her eyes. She had seen the dirty side of humanity throughout her life in this inn. Lawrend's words just don't hold enough credit for her to believe him.

”Okay, fine. We will come back here before we leave. You can ask her yourself,” he said to her in defeat.

”Yes, that would be better,” Grape nodded her head at him.

Grape stared at his face for a while before she turned around.

”I'm leaving…” Grape whispered.

Even though she said that she didn't open the door to leave, she merely stood there and waited for Lawrend to make his move. Sadly, Lawrend had no plans of taking her with him.

She waited for a whole minute. Only then did she realize that he had no plans of keeping her. She could only leave the room bitterly as she bit her lips.

”Sigh. She must be really expecting it,” Lawrend said to himself after seeing her leave.

Lawrend entered the shower room and took a quick shower before he left the room. He then knocked on Nuon's door.

Knock Knock Knock

”Who's there?” Nuon asked from inside.

”It's me, Lawrend,” he replied.

”Oh!” Nuon exclaimed and opened the door.

He saw Lawrend standing in front of the door looking all fresh and his hair slightly wet.

”What's going on?” Nuon asked him in puzzlement.

”Let's go buy some supplies for tomorrow,” Lawrend said to him.

”That's a good idea. Maybe we should get some meat jerkies so we don't have to hunt every time,” Nuon replied.

”That's what I was thinking,” Lawrend said to him with a smile.

”Alright, let's go,” Nuon said to him, and he exited his room.

”Are we also getting Logan?” Nuon asked Lawrend.

He figured that Lawrend would want to deal less with that guy. After all, they hate each other.

”Why not? He's also a part of our team,” Lawrend replied with a confident smile.

”Right,” Nuon nodded his head.

…

”So..? What are we buying?” Logan asked Lawrend as they walked through the streets.

It was already almost midnight, and lanterns were lighting up the streets. There were also more sellers lined along the street compared to during the day. It was like there was an event.

”Food and clothes. Remember, we hadn't changed or taken a bath for 3 days now,” Lawrend said to him with a wry smile on his face.

”Ughh… Now that reminded me…We stink...”

Logan's eyes were unfocused as he stared at the ground. Remembering that fact made him very ashamed of himself.
