Chapter 18 (1/2)

The Haas cautiously observing the thile staying nearby It was as if it wanted to be praised It didn't look like it would be leaving anyti the delivered supplies with San

Weirdly, San didn't feel threatened by the Hawk's presence The Hawk either had a char nature or some other hidden power that made it approachable

The Hawk followed Biyeon around, probably thinking that she was easier to approach than San

“We got these after putting our lives on the line, so we'll use these supplies well Thanks Mr Hawk!”

The Hawk tilted its head to the side It made a puzzled expression Biyeon picked up the expensive and ilass bottle with the purple liquid

“Is this nectar?”

The Hawk nodded

“It has the say I wonder how it tastes?”

After e in the Hawk's eyes Its eyes conveyed a greedy desire while itsits sharp incisors

Throughout the athered dry wood tothe fire, Biyeon prepared to make breakfast

“Oh no-” she cried out She had slipped on the floor

“Oh my- watch out! Be careful Huh? Did you spill all the salt on the round?”

“The salt… we probably can't eat it anyetic look The salt had already round

“How did you ather the mud and try to extract the salt from it Shouldn't we at least try to dry out theit! How did this accident happen? You're not a little kid”

Huffing and puffing, he urgently ran out of the pit with his field shovel He dug into the ground and started gathering the mud into a canteen Afterwards, he looked at Biyeon

His eyes were full of concern, a concern that ste to resolve her accident He wanted to portray a resentful e precious…
