20 Chapter 20 – Changing strategies (2/2)

He knew herbs in this world were a lot more effective than medicine in his previous world but it would still take him a week or so to recover from fractures unless he used some truly high-class medicinal ingredients.

This was off the table simply because he would not have Yuki spend so lavishly on him, not even mentioning him almost losing his life each time.

Right as these two, mother and son were in their own worlds trying to figure out a solution, Fen interrupted the quiet in the room.

”Young master already has two classes and in theory is the same as two adventurers, so why not get another party member. That way they can form the most basic 3 man party at the least.”

”Yes! That does make the most sense. How did I overlook something so simple? Big sis Fen is truly so smart.” Adam flashed her a thumbs up with a brilliant smile.

”That does make sense but there will be a lot of prerequisites for the member. They cannot be of a higher level or they would become more of a protector than a training partner. They also have to be completely loyal as Adam would have to reveal his two class abilities to them. It would also be best if they were at the same level and age as him so that they can grow along with him at the same pace.”

Yuki started listing down requirements without pause.

”These are just the base requirements. They should also have good character's and be personally tested by me or I won't let them hang around my son!” She ended up spilling her own agenda toward the end.

”Ignoring the last bit. Mother truly does have a point. It will be tough finding people that meet these requirements.” Adam voiced out his opinion.

”What do you mean? These are your mother's basic requirements. Do you have a problem with them?” She gave him a glare. He was used to this look of hers. Whenever she gave it, it was best to just let her handle the situation her way.

”No. Fine, you can do whatever you want.”

”That's better.” Yuki began smiling happily.

”Mistress where will we find a person like this?” Fen called out trying to bring the topic back on track.

”I have an idea. Any chance we get to save children from those vile people is a good opportunity. I'll talk to a few people I know. If I find anyone I'll then send you to go fetch them tomorrow.”

Adam and Fen could instantly tell what Yuki was talking about.

She had saved all the girls in the lodge from slave traders. Though she did not mention it, she truly detested the trade.

When she brought girls to the lodge she would train them strictly but still, all the girl's treated her with the utmost respect. She was their caring big sister who had given them new lives and cared for them.

They could feel the care Yuki gave to them even when she was strict with them.

It was obvious that Yuki wanted to take this opportunity to save another child.

Getting up, Yuki walked towards the door. Turning around just before leaving she said ” Rest for today. Even with the medicinal paste, I put on you. It will still take at least a night to heal all those bruises.”

”Fen, I leave him in your care. Get him dinner for now and then let him sleep. I shall eat while I'm out so no need to worry about me.”

After saying her part she left.

'hmm, I wonder who mother will find. I've never really talked to other kids since coming to this world. I wonder if I'll have to act the same as them.' Adam had grown accustomed to his situation and had started seeing this as a new life and a new start a long time ago.

Conversing and acting his current age? He had done it to an extent but when dealing with another of the same age it would be completely different. He had still retained his demeanour but if he had to deal with other kids he would have to let that go as well.

'No. I will continue to be me. I will not change just for another.' It was very easy to get swept into the current of the surrounding environment but he had held his resolve.

This was a turning point that everyone would face. This was one that determined how his personality would mould in the future.

”Enough. At best I will have to go meet this person tomorrow. I will be entrusting my life training with them and so will they entrust themselves to me. I will personally evaluate them as well.” He was not going to take this lightly.

”Do not worry too much young master I'm sure mistress will not be lax in her judgement.” Fen did not fully understand what he was worried about from his words but she still tried to comfort him.

”Haha, I'm not worried, big sis. Of course, I trust mother too. More importantly… *grumble* my stomach seems to be in more dire circumstances at the moment.” The loud gurgling sound rang out from his belly.

”Hehe, please wait a moment young master ill get the sisters to bring in dinner. I'll get them to make extra since you seem to be so hungry. Would you also like me to go make you some dessert?”

”Yes, please. I would love that. Big sis really is the best at making sweets. Who else can even begin to compare to you?” he said in a bit of a boasting tone.

”Nothing but a sweet talker. Okay, I will be right back.” An elegant smile on her face and a tinge of pink blush on her cheeks she walked out of the room.

Soon dishes after dishes were brought into the room.

The scent of fragrant meat and sauteed vegetables wafted through the halls of the lodge.

Adam sat at the side of the table in his room, relishing the dishes being brought in. An expectant emotion at the back of his mind for his meeting tomorrow.
