Chapter 71: Finally a Tutorial (13)
Once inside, Chi-Woo and Zelit sat face-to-face on the front porch
“Are you feeling a bit…better now?” Zelit suddenly asked
“Are you asking about reat since he had been pushi+ng hih he had never exercised before He did rest and eat well in between, but his body was still in an adjusting period It had only been adown right now strained his muscles and made his whole body feel stiff
“My body still hurts, and it’s hard, but…” Zelit flinched at Chi-Woo’s response, but Chi-Woo continued truthfully and said while laughing, “But it’s better than before I’ prone anymore”
It was just as Chi-Woo said On the first day he ran, he had struggled to even lift his spoon to eat afterwards, but now, he had the energy to wash and eat before going to bed Hearing this, Zelit misunderstood like everyone else and was horrified ‘He had been collapsing and lying prone before? That was how severe his condition had been?’
“Is your condition that dire?”
“What? No I’et better if I rest a couple of days” Chi-Woo shook his head
“Why…!” Ru Hiana suddenly let out a loud, tearful cry and was about to shout so, “Ru Hiana!” Meeting her disgruntled stare, Ru As If they were in any other world, Ru As were different on Liber; any serious injury or deteriorating health si here: death All the injured or ill could do was to offer themselves as sacrifices Ru Amuh believed it must be difficult for Chi-Woo to accept his current condition when they were finallythat he was burdened with the hopes and dreams of those who had sacrificed the before his body broke down Ru Amuh wanted to respect his wish He did want to stop Chi-Woo, but if this hat Chi-Woo wanted, he couldn’t stop hiht similarly Chi-Woo’s condition had been exposed by Ru Hiana; he uessed why the four of them had suddenly visited him Chi-Woo hiree, but he also said that it had gotten better and that he would recover if he rested for a couple of days In other words, Chi-Woo was saying he wanted to continue participating in their activities
Zelit licked his dry lips and said, “We have to find additional food supply” He went on to explain that thanks to Chi-Woo’s help, they now had a long-terh Allen had revitalized the land with his powers and sped up the growth of the crops, it would still take ht They still had to endure a transitional period before the harvest hat food they had left Thus, before their food ran out, they had to find new food supplies
“Eshnunna told us several likely places” Zelit spread out the ht The map was detailed; Zelit seemed to have drawn additional details onto the old inally planned to visit all nine points marked on the map, but we narrowed it down to only five points within four days of travel from this fortress We plan to start from this location here to take the shortest path…” Zelit pointed at each point on the map and explained “Ru Ao this tiuide”
“That’s fewer people than I thought”
“The purpose of this search is exploration Even if they find food supplies, they don’t have to bring them back They just have to confirm the supplies are there”
“Ah, I see”
“We still have some food left, and since our purpose is to confirm the supplies’ location, they are to avoid any battle or confrontation to the best of their ability Even if they encounter e them; Ru Amuh and Ru Hiana are there to protect the others”
Chi-Woo suddenly had a strange feeling that Zelit was putting extreme care into his word choice and attitude
“Of course…” Zelit’s lips twitched “We know a spirit ht show up, too That’s orry about the most” Zelit looked extremely uncomfortable as he continued, “We wish to avoid them, and if we run into them, ould try to escape However, escapeon the situation…” After hesitating for a great while, Zelit hung his head low and said, “For those situations…we’re hoping you’ll be able to lend us your help…”
Chi-Woo nodded He understood what theyoutside the fortress now, not even nearby, but a location that’d require four days of travel to get to And that was the e an efficient path there, it er to check all five locations Because of all the experiences he had gone through on his way to the fortress, there was a part of hireed with Ru Hiana’s complaint, ‘Why must Senior always step forward?’
‘Still…’ Since co to Liber, Chi-Woo kneas unrealistic to expect safety in this world Although not er re next tier that would soon be upon theo Additionally, there were other factors that could make this trip hile
‘It won’t be all bad…’ Shahnaz told him before that a person didn’t accu to find food for heroes whose purpose was to save Liber had a high possibility of being acknowledged, too, and the fact that the situation was especially difficult probably only added to the merit’s value
And that wasn’t the only incentive Zelit wanted to avoid battle as ht the contrary He couldn’t do anything about physical ards to spiritual ained experience points
“Hers he would have to face
Zelit was visibly conflicted as he watched Chi-Woo silently conte different about Chi-Woo The man had moved faster than anyone else and took the initiative when saving Ru A the ranch However, Chi-Woo was pondering about his choices this ti
There was no way that Chi-Woo did not know the gravity of the food supply proble that Chi-Woo helped Allen Leonard awaken his powers to facilitate far, he must understand it better than anyone However, the fact that Chi-Woo was not readily stepping forward…Zelit could only assume it was because of how serious Chi-Woo’s condition currently was
“I’o,” Zelit said “Youfor you We’ll deal with it”
“Senior, you don’t have to go,” Ru Hiana quickly chimed in “Don’t worry You can entrust the task to Ruahu, Ms Eshnunna, and me Senior, you should rest and take care of yourself”
Chi-Woo was thankful for Ru Hiana’s concerns, but hearing Ru A the the extremely rare 4-star heroes Most of all, no parent would let their child go on an adventure on their own However, Chi-Woo did not immediately reply Zelit had said it was his choice, so he was allowed the leisure to think about various points and weigh his choices
“Will you give me some time to think about this?”
“Of course,” Zelit iive me three or four days I’ll have my answer by then”
“That is completely fine with ? You really, really don’t have to go!”
When Ru Hiana intervened again, Zelit glanced at her and smacked his lips “I haven’t heard your reply yet…but are you really alright?”
“Haha Honestly, I hesitated because I’o in this state My physical condition isn’t too…”
It was not easy to keep running Si up all night, if Chi-Woo went out in his current condition, he’d only be a hindrance to everyone else He was so fatigued that he could barely even walk He needed to rest, eat, and sleep well to recover and make other necessary preparations
“Anyway, I’ll keep the mission in mind now that I know about it I need so about it in a positive—”
“Ugh, Seniooor!!”
Chi-Woo, who had been speaking while furtively glancing at Ru Amuh, was startled by Ru Hiana’s sudden outburst
“Did you just hear that?!” Ru Hiana angrily turned towards Zelit and growled, her face flushed in anger “I told you! I kneould react this way! I told you not to ask him in the first place!”
“Ms R-Ru Hiana?” Startled, Chi-Woo tried to stop her
“What? You wanted to talk to hih! You know full well the kind of person Senior is—!”
“Ms Ru Hiana”
Ru Hiana shat she was about to say and stopped “Uh, uh?” She reflexively turned around and flinched Chi-Woo’s expression looked as cold as his voice His eyes looked slightly strained as well
“Ms Ru Hiana, I was in the ”
“Ah, no Senior, I was just…”
“I was talking to Mr Zelit” Chi-Woo’s voice was low, and Ru Hiana iaze wavered at the slight anger on Chi-Woo’s face Her lips trerateful that she cares for ht this way, but it was too much at times
Ru Hiana looked like she had sed so bad, and her chin trembled “Fu…”
“What?” Ru Amuh’s brows furrowed “Ru Hiana, what did you just say? Who were you saying that to?”
Ru Hiana did not reply She closed her eyes and whirled around before running outside
“Ru Hiana!” Even though Ru Amuh called after her, she ran like the wind and disappeared Ru Ahed
“You should knohen to stop” To hts When Chi-Woo turned to her in confusion, her eyes narrowed, “You should think about those who care about you” Eshnunna turned around coldly as well,so fast that her skirt fluttered before she went out through the door with rougher steps than usual
