After spending hours in the mountains, mining boulders and stones, I decided to head back to my hut.
By the way, System, why do so foraging spots reset while others don't?
I see . . . so that ant that the resources in my territory would also gradually deplete over ti.
System . . .
Do you have an item in the Evil System Shop that would shut you up?
Eventually, Florin and I made it back to our hut safe and sound. I imdiately saw Athena looking at my and Florin's intertwined hands. And for a mont, I saw her look at in disgust before her expression returned to her usual poker face.
Great. I really made a great first impression in our first eting, didn't I?
I hope she wasn't thinking what I thought she might be thinking.
I quickly pulled my hand from Florin's hold, and luckily, the girl didn't mind. She hopped towards a bonfire near the huts.
"My lord!" she waved at . "Co on, and let's eat! I roasted a bunny I caught a while ago!" She then pointed on the skewers. "There are so lizards here as well."
". . ." My stomach growled from hunger, even if my mind wanted to turn around. It seed like in the face of hunger, you could eat anything, even if it were so strange beasts covered in charcoal.
I looked over at Athena and offered the skewered beast roasted on the fire. It tasted bland, and the at was hard when chewed, but it was better than nothing. I wasn't disappointed since I wasn't expecting Florin to be at the level of a master chef.
I was grateful that she cooked for .
"No, thank you," Athena said firmly.
Florin laughed. "My Lord, tokens don't eat. Rember?"
"It's just common courtesy to give others food while you're eating."
Florin blinked before she smiled mischievously again. "Ara . . . when did my lord beco so considerate?"
". . ." I felt the two won's pressuring gaze on , and I hoped they didn't find my head lowering out of character.
"Athena is one of us. Of course, I'll be considerate with one of our own."
"Hm . . . Is that so?" Florin bead and didn't ask any more questions, which I secretly thanked her for.
Hiding this other identity was a pain in the ass — that was for sure.
