I understood Charles’s stance.Larry was a wild card, but he was a card nonetheless, and one that didn’t seem too smart at that. “Besides, he helps out in the Camp and his ability is quite useful. There’s no merit in being too impatient and prematurely ejecting him from the Camp.” Charles added.“I see. The reason you also placed him in Anne’s group is because of her contradicting Alignment, and her stiff desire for justice. If he acts out of line or behaves suspiciously, she’ll take action instantly.” I stated.Charles nodded. “Well, I guess that’s acceptable. My curiosity has been satiated for now. I should probably leave now before those guys get worried. I’ll be dropping by later though.” I replied, opening the door to take my leave.“W-wait…” Charles beckoned.I paused, turning to look at him.“What is it?”My question made him look hesitant, but he clenched his fist and summoned the courage to ask me anyway.“M-my wife… please can you let her go now?” He asked.I remained sile

“Now, let’s move to the second issue at hand… our current project!” At this point, the executives within the Camp were more concerned. Since they were the ones in charge of the internal activities, it was their forte. “From the reports I’ve gotten, in addition to my calculations, all preparations will be made in two weeks. The bore-hole project, soil gathering, manure processing, and the planting activities should all be made by then.” Charles continued. Once the borehole has been dug, the first couple of gallons of water were going to be dirty and unpurified. These would be taken, stored, and used for watering the grounds frequently. While expecting harvest, with the speed-up effect of their key Gifted, the produce would only be ready after a week. “We’re going with corn first since it takes only a few months to grow in normal conditions. With our Gifted’s help, it will be the fastest to grow among others.” Charles added.

“Erm, I don’t really know since I wasn’t present when it all happened…” Adam stated flatly.His response wasn’t the kind that Chloe wanted, making her freeze in disappointment.As a penitent, Adam made it his policy not to harm anyone and to be as good as he could to everyone.“I can’t accuse Anne of something I didn’t see her do.” He mumbled, looking at Anne’s face.She nodded at him with approval, showing him respect.“You did the right thing, Adam.”Anne’s praise made Adam’s heart feel warm. He always liked being complimented for doing the right thing, another reason why he always did it at any given opportunity.Well, another reason was that he respected Anne a great deal.“So, you’re picking her side over mine?! You’re the worst, Adam!” Chloe whined.Adam, upon seeing that his girlfriend was deeply hurt by his actions attempted to embrace her as he usually did, but she quickly ste

“Oh? You were speaking? I had no idea… your voice was too low for me to hear, after all.” I replied to Chloe’s annoying banter.This made her deep scowl become even more intense.“Could you repeat what you said? I truly couldn’t hear you.” I asked with an innocent tone.Of course, Chloe already knew I was faking it. The disgrace she was experiencing was my fault, and I was taking pleasure in it.“Damian. There’s something you should know. I wanted Chloe to go first, but maybe I should.” Adam suddenly said, interrupting my little chat with his girlfriend.“What is it? You’ve come to bully me again? Chloe did say she was bringing you to visit next time. I suppose the both of you have come to gang up on me.” I smiled at him.I didn’t know whether it was him being foolish, or just as a pretense, but Adam instantly became flustered by my clever use of words and quickly shook his head.“N-no way! I didn’t come he

Peter, Lily, Larry, and Daniel arrived not long after my conversation with Anne ended, saving both of us from the awkwardness within the room.For breakfast, we took stone-hard bread, with watered-down milk. It felt like torture for my mouth to chew the hard substance and make it soft enough to go down my throat. As for the milk, I couldn’t even taste anything creamy within it.‘It’s like white-colored water!’ I nearly gagged.I wondered how they were able to get milk, though, since they had no way of preserving it.‘Maybe they used Peter’s ice ability?’ I reasoned.When I asked about it, the answer was entirely different. Apparently, the Camp used powdered milk, and not evaporated ones, allowing them to preserve it well.‘Still, I wish I could exchange this for the milk I have in [Subspace].Since I couldn’t act like I didn’t appreciate the meal, I endured the breakfast and as soon as it was over, I beckoned to Anne to take me to Charles.“We’ll be back soon.” She told the others as
